Ling Xiao Yue and Lei Yunze arrived at the Ling Residence in accordance with Qiao's instructions. When Qin An had left the Ling residence, Li Qin had called Ling Xiao Yue and told her that Qin An city was not here. She had less fear in her heart and it would not be a bad thing to bring her here.
Li Qin knew that Ling Xiao Yue was coming, so he busied himself with preparing. He took out everything that Ling Xiao Yue loved to buy and everything that he could do to make it. He was even more happy than his own child.
These few days, Qiao Meng's matter had caused him much trouble. Fortunately, the matter had quickly come to an end and Ling Yun had not been affected much. Although there were still many questions that he had yet to resolve, at least they had passed.
"Old master, the young mistress is back!" Li Qin invited the three in. Ling Jiang was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and Lei Yunze sent over the red wine he brought.
"I heard from Xiao Yue that Father occasionally likes to drink a cup, so he brought along a bottle of red wine." Lei Yunze changed his words rather quickly. His smile was somewhat polite and unapproachable. Ling Jiang was well aware of the matter regarding Ling Xiao Yue and Lei Yunze. He accepted the wine and handed it over to the butler.
"Li Qin, it's rare for Yunze to be so considerate, let's open this bottle today!" Ling Jiang had also taken the initiative to express his goodwill towards Lei Yunze and build closer relations with him. It was as if they were truly an extremely good couple.
Dinner had already begun and everyone was seated at the table. Qiao Meng was alone. Ling Xiao Yue glanced at Qiao You. Today, Qiao You was exceptionally quiet. He did not bother arguing with her and busied himself, leaving her with the chores of many servants.
Ling Xiao Yue deliberately tried to persuade Qiao Qiao. "Second mother, you can take a rest!"
"Yeah, you also sit down to eat." Ling Jiang stopped her.
"You guys eat, there's still one more soup. I'll bring it up once it's done." Qiao was about to leave when Ling Xiao Yue stood up. However, she was stopped by Lei Yunze.
"Your feet are injured so much that it's hard for you to walk. Stop running around."
"Look at how hardworking Second Mother is! It's not good for us to sit here and eat!" Ling Xiao Yue's tone was somewhat helpless as she lowered her eyes and said to Lei Yunze.
Lei Yunze immediately understood what she meant. He continued to say, "Damn. Sit properly."
"Even if you want to, go help out!" Nian Bing jumped down from his chair. Seeing that Lei Yunze and Nian Bing had left, how could Qiao You still have the nerve to do so? He hastily invited them back.
"No need, no need. I'm not thinking much, so don't burn it." Her smile was especially gentle, and her voice was sweet and soft.
"Sit down! Just ask the servant to bring the soup over later. " When Ling Jiang spoke again, Qiao You was unable to refuse. He could only sit beside Ling Jiang.
Today, she wanted to hide from Ling Xiao Yue, but who knew how she could avoid it. Seeing Ling Xiao Yue sitting opposite of her, the smile on Qiao You's face stiffened.
"Yueyue, this is all your favorite food. Eat more." As he spoke, he helped Ling Xiaoyue pick up a piece of meat and placed it in her bowl.
Ling Xiao Yue did not reject her. Instead, she smiled and thanked her. "Second mother, you really love me."
Seeing how much Ling Xiao Yue had changed, Qiao You's heart was naturally unsettled. He also did not know what kind of medicine Ling Xiao Yue had bought.
"By the way, where are sister and An Cheng? "Why didn't I see him?"
"An City has moved away." Ling Jiang opened his mouth in front of Qiao You. Qiao You's face revealed an ugly expression as he nodded his head.
"What about sister? Let's not wait for sister to finish our meal! " After Ling Xiao Yue said this, she put down the bowl and chopsticks. As she read, she obediently put down Ling Xiao Yue after she put her chopsticks down.
"It's fine, it's fine. Don't wait for her, she didn't order any food either." Seeing that everyone had stopped eating, Qiao You quickly shouted.
Seeing her like this, Ling Xiao Yue was overjoyed. "Mom, there are no outsiders here. What's wrong with elder sister?"
Qiao You did not expect Ling Xiao Yue to directly point the question at her face. Her eyes flashed as she pondered for a long time, but did not know what to say.
"What happened?"
Even if Qiao You wanted to tear her hypocritical skin to shreds, with Ling Jiang and Lei Yunze here, she could only tolerate it.
Seeing Qiao You's sullen expression, Ling Xiaoyue felt better in her heart. She looked up innocently at Lei Yunze and continued asking, "I've been lying at home for the past few days. I don't even know what's happening outside."
Lei Yunze was also very cooperative. He stretched out his hand to tidy up the hair at her temples and looked at her with a gentle gaze.
"There's a lot of gossip outside. It's fine. Maybe she went out! "
Hearing these people's words, Ling Jiang sighed heavily, "Li Qin, call Qiao Meng down!"
In her heart, she did not want Qiao Qiao to dream of them. The first reason was because she was afraid that Qiao Meng would say something without thinking and cause trouble. The second reason was because she was afraid that Ling Xiao Yue would take the opportunity to do something.
Qiao You suddenly stood up and walked in front of Li Qin.
"I'll go! It just so happens that I have to go and get something. " Without waiting for Li Qin to speak, Qiao You quickly climbed the stairs and Ling Xiao Yue put down her chopsticks.
"We'll eat when aunt and second granny come." Ling Xiao Yue said to her daughter who was beside her. As she read, she obediently put down her chopsticks.
Ling Jiang's heart ached when he saw Nian Bing put down his chopsticks. Being a grandfather, seeing his granddaughter feel a little wronged and a little like being cut by a knife, how could he bear to have her wait on an empty stomach?
"Eat when you're hungry when you're reciting it. There's no need to wait." Ling Jiang picked up a chicken leg and placed it in the recitation bowl.
Nian Xin, however, said very seriously to Ling Jiang, "Mom said to wait for everyone to arrive before we can eat. Only then will we be polite children."
Ling Jiang laughed when he heard this. This kid was taught well by Xiao Yue, and was both sensible and polite. Hearing her words, Ling Jiang also followed her and put down his chopsticks.
"Grandpa will wait with you."
"Hm!" But why hadn't Aunt come? Everyone is waiting for her! " Nian Bing tilted his head and frowned. He didn't seem to understand what was going on.
"She doesn't understand anything, why don't we recite it!" Although Ling Jiang's words sounded like a joke, Ling Xiao Yue sneered in her heart. She looked at the chanting child's words but did not think much of them. Instead, she made Ling Jiang pay more attention to her.
Qiao Meng naturally knew that Ling Xiao Yue had come, but seeing them now was equivalent to digging a hole for her. She had to lock the door and avoid them.
"Mengmeng, it's mother." The sound of a knock on the door mixed with Qiao You's voice came.
Qiao Meng stood up and opened the door. Seeing Qiao You standing at the entrance, she quickly asked: "They left?"
"No, I'm calling you to come downstairs for dinner." Qiao You didn't want them to come into contact with Qiao Meng. He had gone to great lengths to explain the previous matter to Ling Jiang, but now that they were gathered together, it became troublesome.
"If I'm not going, then what am I going to do? Now that Ling Xiao Yue is at the Thundercloud Pool, aren't I just looking for trouble myself? " Qiao Meng knew clearly that in the past, she was definitely the one who was unsightly.
"Yes …" I understand... "But …"
"Madam, Master asked me to tell you that we are waiting for you two." The butler stood at the side and spoke up. Right now, they were also riding a tiger, and it was hard for them to back down.
