Chapter 1093 - 1135: Shameless

Chapter 1093: Chapter 1135: Shameless

Ling Yueyue mercilessly mocked, "Anyway, it doesn’t matter to me! Twenty years have passed, and you haven’t cared about me at all. If you suddenly start caring, I might be scared! You are probably scheming, thinking about how much money you can get from me!"

Ling’s father was at a loss for words, his face turning alternately green and white, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into!

Upon hearing Ling Yueyue’s words, Ling’s mother wouldn’t stand for it. She walked to Ling’s father’s side, forcibly suppressing her temper, managed a smile, and said kindly, "Oh, Yueyue! I don’t like hearing this kind of talk. How can you say we don’t care about you? If we didn’t care, why would we travel all this way? Even though these past twenty years you were raised by your aunt, growing up away from us, we never shirked the responsibility of being parents. All the living expenses your aunt used for you were given by us, never missing a single cent! If we didn’t care about you, we could have just ignored you and let you fend for yourself! We placed you with your aunt to give you a better life! Your aunt lives in Jin City, a big city, while we live in the countryside. Frankly speaking, if you didn’t live in Jin City, would you have married such a good man like Huo Junmo and lived a life of luxury? We came here because our family has been apart too long and we want to be reunited!"

"Reunited? Ha...!" Ling Yueyue sneered openly after hearing Ling’s mother. ℯℯ𝑙.

Ling’s mother found Ling Yueyue’s smile glaring. Though internally angry, she didn’t show it. Instead, she forced a smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ling Yueyue sneered, "What am I laughing at? I’m laughing because you really think I’m a fool or an idiot? Do you think I will believe you came just because you miss me and care about me, wanting to reunite with the family? I know very well what you are actually thinking, what your real intentions are! Let me tell you, I am me, Huo Junmo is Huo Junmo, everything in the Huo Family belongs to Huo Junmo and Tiantian, not to me, and certainly not to you. You can forget about getting a single penny from the Huo Family!"

After Ling Yueyue had finished speaking, Ling’s mother could no longer maintain her smile, her face contorting.

"Besides, soon I’ll buy train tickets for you. After breakfast, you must leave!" With that, she turned away from Ling’s father and mother and sat down next to Huo Jiantian on the sofa.

As soon as she sat down, Huo Jiantian gave Ling Yueyue a thumbs-up, admiringly saying, "Bad stepmother, well done, you said it perfectly, I support you!"

Ling Yueyue raised her chin at Huo Jiantian, smirking with satisfaction.

Ling’s mother was infuriated, her chest heaving with anger! Just as she was about to rush over and give Ling Yueyue a harsh lesson, Ling’s father held her back.

Ling’s mother glared at Ling’s father, irritably asking, "What are you doing?"

Ling’s father lowered his voice, whispering so only the two of them could hear, "Remember what we said coming here? Don’t get angry!"

Ling’s father’s reminder brought Ling’s mother back to reality, and she recalled the plan from last night!

They had agreed to first appease Ling Yueyue, regardless of her words, and avoid getting angry! Then wait until Ling Yueyue talks to Huo Junmo about setting up a good match for their precious daughter before turning the tables!

Thinking of this, Ling’s mother forced all her anger back down, managed a smile, and sat next to Ling Yueyue, fawningly saying, "Yueyue, you’ve really misunderstood your mother! Your dad and I came this time to genuinely care about you, to see how well you’re doing here!"

Ling Yueyue didn’t turn around, saying coldly, "Now you’ve seen it, you can leave!"

"...!" Ling’s mother was again furious, her eyes wide, wanting to explode, but she held it in, keeping a fawning smile, "Yueyue, it’s rare for your dad and mom to visit, just let us stay a few more days! Look at your two sisters, they haven’t visited the city in over ten years, they should be shown around to broaden their horizons!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue finally turned her gaze to Ling’s mother, frowning and asking curiously, "Right, I forgot to ask you, shouldn’t your older and younger sisters be in school now? What’s with them coming here? Don’t they have to attend classes? Plus, shouldn’t the older sister be graduating high school this year? Shouldn’t she be going to college? Why is she here with you?"

Ling’s mother’s expression stiffened at Ling Yueyue’s question, forcing a smile and explaining, "The older sister didn’t score well on her college entrance exams and didn’t get into her dream school! So this year we pulled some strings, let her retake her studies, hoping she scores better next time! As for the younger sister, she insisted on coming after hearing we were going, her grades weren’t great, she never liked attending school, so I brought her along!"

Ling Yueyue listened to this explanation, and questioned more, "Pulled strings? When did you ever have connections in the school system?"

She understood the current exam regulations very well, especially for middle and college entrance exams, which were strict, and those who don’t score well aren’t given a second chance! Being ordinary folk in the countryside, where would they have connections to go against the education bureau’s rulings to get her elder sister a redo?

Ling’s mother explained, "It’s like this, we reached out to a lot of people and finally found someone reliable. He said if we give him a sum of money, he’ll use his connections to tamper with the elder sister’s student records, allowing her to redo her studies!"

Upon hearing Ling’s mother mention money, Ling Yueyue quickly rolled her eyes, stopping the conversation with her hand. "Enough, I don’t care about their situation; do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me!"

As far as she was concerned, her mother only mentioned money when she wanted her to pay it!

She was a jobless freeloader, with no money to speak of! Especially with such shady business, the expense must be considerable, and she couldn’t care less.

Seeing Ling Yueyue refuse to talk as soon as she mentioned money without even opening her mouth, Ling’s mother wisely kept quiet!

Indeed, getting this done for the older sister had cost a lot, all squeezed from Ling Yueyue over time! First, she’d coax Ling Yueyue, and once relaxed, she’d find a way to make her reimburse the older sister’s costs! Plus, there was still the ten thousand yuan compensation from the last incident!
