Chapter 872 - Stop Causing Trouble First

“This will be the only time. There won’t be a next time!” After saying that, Mei Xuelin hung up. Forget it, forget it. This was their family matter. She was only responsible for taking care of her. Why should she care so much?

She was just a manager, not her mother!

Her biological mother was the Best Actress, Movie Queen Nangong. Given her current identity, even if she did not have a manager, she would still get a lot of resources and be able to choose whatever she wanted.

Actually, when she thought about it, that girl had treated her quite well. After the incident, she even knew to call to coax her. She should just let this matter pass. After all, she was soft-hearted and liked her!

Ling Sheng had just settled Mei Xuelin when her grandpa called. She rarely heard her grandpa ask questions carefully, as though he was afraid that someone would hear him if he spoke louder. “Sheng Sheng, are you with her?”

Ling Sheng asked, “Who?”

Huo Xiao lowered his voice. “Who else could it be? Your… mother?”

Su Xiyin, who was standing by the side, was so nervous that she could not breathe. They had only seen the news in the group chat when they had gotten home.

Ci Er posted on Weibo to announce his relationship with Sheng Sheng.

In less than 10 minutes, that child Nangong posted on Weibo as well.

In the blink of an eye…

She immediately understood that that child had not been aborted back then. However, she did not know why Nangong had abandoned her to be raised by someone else!

Did she regret it after throwing her away? Was that why she wanted to get her back?

If that was the case, she definitely wouldn’t agree to Sheng Sheng acknowledging her as her mother!

How heartless could she be? No matter how much she hated Ci Er, her daughter should not have borne the misfortune. She was still her biological daughter. She should not have been so heartless as to abandon her! She had caused her to suffer so much! Her heart ached just thinking about it.

They were not the only ones who were shocked speechless. When the different members of the Huo Family saw the news, which one of them was not shocked and afraid? And which one of them was not full of anger?

Ling Sheng was not an illegitimate daughter. She was Sixth Brother and Nangong Lengyu’s daughter! She was not a random little b*stard. She was from the Nangong Family!

Although the Nangong Family did not have many businesses in China, no one dared to claim that they were number one among the Chinese overseas if the Nangong Family said that they were second. Someone had estimated that their assets would definitely not be less than the top families in China.

Besides, the Nangong Family only had two children, Nangong Lengyu and Nangong Lengmo, who had a very good relationship. When the time came, the family’s assets would belong to the two of them no matter what.

Since Nangong Lengyu was Ling Sheng’s mother, all her assets would belong to Ling Sheng in the end.

…

After Ling Sheng hung up on her grandpa, someone called again very soon. It was Nangong Lengmo who called his sister.

“Sister, what happened?” Nangong Lengmo was still at home. When he saw the news, he did not know who to look for first.

Should she question her father first?

Or should he ask his older sister first?

Little Star did not die. Who had hidden her?

“I’ll be home early tomorrow morning. Don’t kick up a fuss yet. I want to ask him personally.” Nangong Lengyu’s voice was very low, and her voice could not help but tremble.

“Sister, Father did it, right? It was him, right?” Nangong Lengmo had always known that his father was domineering. Ever since he was young, he always had to take control of everything.

However, he had never suspected that Little Star was not dead. He was the one who had said that Little Star had died. He had done it!

Little Star was his granddaughter and his blood relative. How ruthless was he? How could he bear to make this decision?

“Don’t panic yet.” Nangong Lengyu took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Their father was dignified, authoritative, and inflexible. When it came to their education, he had been very strict with the siblings since they were young. Furthermore, he could not tolerate the slightest doubt or resistance from them.

However, she had always thought that he was just inept at expressing himself. Actually, he still really loved the siblings.

However, she was beginning to suspect that her unwavering thoughts had been shaken. Perhaps he did not love anyone but himself. He had only treated the siblings as his tools.

“I…” Nangong Lengmo could not help but choke up. “Sister, I can’t help it. I really can’t hold it in. How can he do this? He stopped me from pursuing what I wanted and controlled me. I didn’t blame or hate him, but how can he…”

How could he do such a thing?!

That was his biological granddaughter!

“Wait for me to go back,” Nangong Lengyu ordered him very seriously. “Don’t get into a conflict with him now. Wait for me to ask him personally.”

“Okay.” Nangong Lengmo nodded with difficulty and asked, “Where’s Sheng Sheng? Is she with you now? How did she react? Is she?”

“Yes, she’s here,” Nangong Lengyu looked at Ling Sheng. “Do you want to talk to her? She’s fine now.”

Apart from crying because of her influence at the start, Sheng Sheng was strangely calm. She did not have any resistance with her. Instead, she could feel that she was very happy.

In the beginning, she had still been worried that she would resent and hate her. However, reality had proven that she had been overthinking. Sheng Sheng’s ability to accept things was much stronger than she had imagined.

Sheng Sheng had said that it was not her fault and she could understand her, but it was obviously her fault. If she had not lost her, why would she have suffered so much outside?

“No… I don’t want to.” When Nangong Lengmo was nervous, he stuttered a little. He did not know what to say. He felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart! He felt that he had let her down!

Back then, he had not been at home. Why had he not been at home at that particular moment to look after his sister?

Now that he thought about it, some things seemed to make sense. Back then, he had wanted to go overseas with his classmates to study and travel. Normally, his father would not have let him go.

However, his father had agreed to let him out that very time.

Perhaps he had already made up his mind to send Little Star away at that time. Everything had been in his plan.

If he had not left, he would definitely have watched over his sister 24/7, especially when she was giving birth. He definitely would not have left half a step. If that was the case, they would not have the chance to make their move!

…

At night, Ling Sheng really did not eat at home. She brought the whole family over to someone else’s house for a banquet. In fact, she was to ask Grandma Lin about the afternoon with her own intentions.

According to the local customs, whenever something was going on, be it a happy occasion or a trivial matter, they would start getting busy the day before.

At noon, there was a big pot of vegetables, and at night, there would be a banquet. The guests were all the helpers in their hometown and relatives.

The food was not as good as the official banquet the next day, but rich people could not lose to others. It was also done very well. There were meat, vegetables, cold, and hot dishes.

When Ling Sheng’s family went over, Old Lin, who was also the groom’s father, saw them at first sight and greeted them warmly.
