Chapter 156: Family Wars Quickly Return to the Castle 2
Mrs. Ling stood there upright, the auspicious patterns on her cuffs and clothes were flying. She held the Buddhist beads in her wrist tightly, turned them unconsciously, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and the fine lines around her eyes relaxed.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard this woman calling Ling Ye in that sweet and annoying voice, telling him to get salt. For a moment, she really wanted to slap her in the mouth.
But she comes from a wealthy family, and her good upbringing reminds her to maintain her grace at all times.
So, she just smiled and glanced at her guilty daughter: "Xuan Yue, why don't you introduce it to me?"
When the low voice fell, Meng Xinran felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart. Her eyes couldn't help but look at Ling Xuanyue, who was at a loss. She saw that the other party quickly regained her composure and put her broken hair back: "Mom
"This is Meng Xinran - Miss Meng, the second brother's girlfriend."
She specially emphasized the word "girlfriend" in order to remind her mother not to be too harsh.
Mrs. Ling has a strong sense of family status. If she wants to enter the Ling family and be her daughter-in-law, she must be a daughter of a noble family, or a lady from an official family. She has always looked down upon ordinary people.
But this time, her performance was beyond Ling Xuanyue's expectations. She even doubted whether the Mrs. Ling in front of her was her own mother. Otherwise, how could she sit on the sofa drinking tea and chatting about home affairs so pleasantly?
Mrs. Ling picked up the teacup, blew it, and smiled so hard: "Ye'er really hid you so well, as if she was afraid that we would find out. I wonder how long Miss Meng and Ye'er have been dating?"
Meng Xinran did not dare to neglect: "a few months"
The look in the other person's eyes sent a chill down her back, and she felt like a piece of meat on a chopping board. She was trying to figure out how many kilograms it would weigh, and then sell it for a good price.
"It's not too long!" Mrs. Ling drawled out and took a sip of tea: "Is Miss Meng also from City B?"
"yes"
"I wonder what Miss Meng's parents do?" Mrs. Ling flicked her fingers, her movements were graceful, and there was a coolness in her tone.
Meng Xinran bit her lip, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little: "They... have passed away."
Mrs. Ling raised her eyebrows as if she was surprised. There was something in her eyes that Meng Xinran couldn't see through, something dangerous and piercing...
Just when she was about to ask something else, Xiao Mo ran down from upstairs. His freshly bathed body was exuding a delicate fragrance from running around. Mrs. Ling looked at her son's replica and snorted coldly.
"Ms. Meng doesn't seem to be telling the truth. How long have you and Ye'er been together? You even have a son?!"
Her words are resounding
Meng Xinran opened her mouth. Damn it, she couldn't find the words to refute. How could she and Ling Ye's situation be explained clearly in one or two sentences?
Ling Xuanyue stroked her forehead and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, second brother didn't hide it from you on purpose. The main reason was that he was afraid that if he said this suddenly, you wouldn't be able to accept it for a while..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Ling scolded, narrowing her eyes dangerously: "All your wings are stiff, right? You don't even know about this big thing from me. Do you really take me as a mother seriously?"
She had just met this child on the road and felt something was wrong. Why did he look so similar, especially those eyes, which were the same dark green and the same stubbornness. She knew that there were no such coincidences in this world...
