Chapter 30: After we get away from each other, don’t come to me if you have nothing to do. If you have something to do, come to me…
On the other side, Zhao Qian returned to the Ling family's old house in a rage. Seeing two people outside the gate, she paused and looked at the two people: "Who are you? Why are you standing at my door?"
Zhao Qian is also a top-tier star in the entertainment industry, so Han Chengyu and Su Ranran naturally know her.
Han Chengyu greeted her with a smile: "Hello, auntie, I'm Han Chengyu. Is my mother home? I had some conflicts with my mother and wanted to apologize to her."
"Aunt?" What happened at the charity auction had already spread throughout the upper-class circles of City A.
Zhao Qian rolled her eyes and smiled: "It's Chengyu! Why are you standing outside? Come in quickly!"
The door sensed Zhao Qian's face and opened automatically.
"Come, come, come."
Zhao Qian led the two of them inside. After walking for a while, they saw a garden in front of them.
Ling Yuan was watering the flowers with a kettle inside.
Zhao Qian curled her lips and led the two of them along the cobblestone path towards Ling Yuan: "Dad, look who's here."
Ling Yuan turned his head and took a look when he heard the voice, then lowered his head and continued watering, saying indifferently: "He's back! Is that your friend? How come I haven't seen him before?"
Zhao Qian was stunned, "Dad, this is your grandson!"
Ling Yuan walked to the side and continued watering the flowers: "Your nephew is studying in the house! You are so old now, you should have the ability to distinguish. You believe everything others say."
Han Chengyu and Su Ranran's expressions changed slightly.
Zhao Qian finally came to her senses. It turned out that Ling Yuan did it on purpose. It seemed that he disliked these two people!
However, she came back just to make them unhappy.
Zhao Qian pretended to be surprised: "Dad, doesn't Siyan have two sons? This is her eldest son! You haven't seen him yet, right? Siyan is really something. Why did she only bring back one of her two sons? It's not good to treat them differently like this. Come, Chengyu, come and meet your grandfather."
Han Chengyu was not stupid, so he could naturally see that Ling Yuan was choking him.
He stepped forward and said sincerely: "Grandfather, I was wrong before and didn't understand my mother's painstaking efforts. I already know I was wrong, and I came here to apologize to her."
Su Ranran also echoed: "Yes! Chengyu has been blaming himself all day today."
Ling Yuan glanced at them and said calmly, "Si Yan is not here. She went to work at the company today. If you just come to apologize, I will convey it to Si Yan when she comes back later. You can go back first!"
A dark look flashed in Han Chengyu's eyes, and his expression did not look very good.
"Dad! What are you doing?" Zhao Qian scolded, "Two children came all the way here and stood at the door for a long time. How could you chase them out without even giving them a sip of water? Besides, mother and son don't hold grudges overnight. Dad, don't be a bad guy in vain, or Siyan will blame you later."
Without waiting for Ling Yuan to reply, Zhao Qian dragged Su Ranran towards the main house: "Don't listen to your grandfather, he's standing up for your mother! Come, come with your aunt, sit down and rest for a while, eat some fruit, it's almost time to get off work, I'm sure Siyan and the others will be back soon."
Holding Su Ranran with one hand, he turned around and called out to Han Chengyu: "What are you still standing there for? Come in with me!"
Han Chengyu hesitated: "Why don't we go back first!"
Zhao Qian came back and pulled Han Chengyu along: "You said you came here to apologize, how can you just go back like this? As for your grandfather, once your mother forgives you, he won't say anything."
The two of them reluctantly followed Zhao Qian into the main house.
Ling Mo was going downstairs to get some water. Seeing the two people following behind Zhao Qian, he immediately frowned: "Why are they here?"
"Come, sit here."
Zhao Qian asked them to sit down, then looked at Ling Mo and said with a smile: "I saw them when I walked in. Cheng Yu called me aunt, and then I knew he was Si Yan's son. They came to see Si Yan, so I brought them in!"
Ling Mo stared at Zhao Qian for a while: "You did it on purpose."
Zhao Qian's smile faded: "What did I do on purpose?"
Ling Mo glanced at Han Chengyu and the other person, and was about to say something when he saw Ling Siyan and Lu Xiao enter the living room together.
He whispered to Zhao Qian, "Come upstairs with me."
Zhao Qian pouted: "Why are you going up there? Your nephew is here, why don't you treat him well?"
Seeing that Ling Siyan had already seen Han Chengyu and the others, Ling Mo said to Ling Siyan, "Siyan, you guys chat, your sister-in-law and I will go up first."
Then he pulled Zhao Qian's wrist and said, "Come with me."
Zhao Qian struggled for a bit, but failed to break free, so she stopped resisting.
Before leaving, he gave Ling Siyan a provocative look.
Ling Mo pulled Zhao Qian into the room and looked at her coldly: "What do you want to do by bringing them in?"
"What do I want to do?" Zhao Qian pretended to be confused, "Isn't that your nephew? Why can't you bring him in?"
"Don't act dumb here. I don't believe you haven't heard about what happened at the banquet."
Zhao Qian sneered and didn't bother to hide it: "Then why are you asking here when you already know the answer? Yes, I heard about it, so I brought them back to see the joke!"
"Look at the mother and son turning against each other," Zhao Qian said with a sigh, "What a great drama."
Ling Mo frowned, "Are you so jealous of others? Do you have to stir up trouble at home as soon as you come back? Making everyone restless?"
"I'm making trouble?" Zhao Qian widened her eyes and pointed at herself.
He sneered again: "Okay, I made a scene. So what? Don't you know why I made a scene?"
Zhao Qian's eyes were full of mockery: "What do you mean by 'home'? This is your home, the home of people with the surname 'Ling'. What does the peace and tranquility of your home have to do with someone with the surname Zhao like me?"
"For all these years, you have never treated me as a member of the Ling family. I don't believe that what Ling Siyan did today was not approved by you and that old man Ling Yuan." Zhao Qian pointed outside and screamed loudly.
"Don't we consider you as a member of the Ling family? All these years, ask yourself, have you ever considered the Ling family as your own family?" Ling Mo's eyes were full of disappointment.
"Whatever project the group has, as long as it has something to do with your Zhao family's business scope, you will drag the Zhao family into it. After you get involved, you don't do your job well, secretly take kickbacks, enrich yourself, and rely on the power of the Ling family to bully the small companies under you."
"And you yourself, signed with the Zhao family's company, using Huaying's resources. The Zhao family gets the benefits, and when they suppress their peers, they use the Ling family's name, and the Ling family bears the bad reputation. Over the years, my father and I have cleaned up so many messes for you and the Zhao family."
"It's you who never consider yourself a member of the Ling family." Ling Mo looked into Zhao Qian's eyes and said word by word: "The Ling family has done their best for you."
Zhao Qian didn't feel guilty at all, instead she said confidently: "The Ling family is rich and powerful, so what if they squeezed out a little bit to give to the Zhao family? The Zhao family gave birth to me and raised me, so what if I help them? Besides, you owe me this."
Ling Mo closed his eyes, and when he looked at Zhao Qian again, there was only calmness in his eyes: "If you don't want to stay in this Ling family, then don't stay."
Thanks to the good sound insulation, although Ling Mo and Zhao Qian's voices were loud, no sound was heard downstairs.
Ling Siyan ignored Zhao Qian's provocation. After changing her shoes, she sat on the sofa on the other side with Lu Xiao, looked at Han Chengyu, and asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Han Chengyu lowered his eyes and said, "Mom, I'm here to apologize to you. I shouldn't have misunderstood you like that."
Ling Siyan took an orange from the fruit plate, leaned towards Lu Xiao, and handed the orange to Lu Xiao: "Peel it for me. I'm tired and don't want to move. Tear off the white silk on the skin for me too."
Lu Xiao took the orange, adjusted his position to make her lean more comfortably, and said, "Okay."
Ling Siyan replied to Han Chengyu again, her voice lazy: "Okay, I received your apology, do you have anything else to do?"
"Mom, can you forgive me?" Han Chengyu looked at Ling Siyan eagerly.
"Forgive you, and then what?"
Han Chengyu was irritated by Ling Siyan's cold attitude and clenched his fists: "Mom, I really don't understand."
"We were fine before, we just had a fight, why did it turn out like this? Do you mind if I go back to dad's house for my birthday? But didn't you agree to this? Or are you angry that I didn't come back to attend Ling Yi's birthday party? I really had something else that day and didn't make it."
Ling Siyan opened her mouth to take the orange slice handed over by Lu Xiao, and asked casually: "What is it like now?"
"I haven't been home for two months, and you didn't even call me to ask where I was. You didn't ask me about my college entrance exams, my scores, or my application. You didn't even tell me that you left J City and came to A City. Don't you consider me your son anymore?"
Ling Siyan finally looked into Han Chengyu's eyes and asked him, "Isn't this what you want? Don't worry about anything, don't ask anything, just do whatever you want, isn't that good?"
Han Chengyu shook his head: "No, not at all. Mom, don't be angry with me. Can we be like before? I won't go to my dad's place anymore. I will apologize to Ling Yi. Can you forgive me?"
"Sure!" Ling Siyan nodded, and when Han Chengyu's eyes lit up, she said, "As long as you break up with Su Ranran and don't see her again."
Su Ranran’s face turned pale.
The light in Han Chengyu's eyes dimmed quickly, "Mom, why don't you like Ran Ran? You just can't tolerate her? You haven't really met her or understood her. Is it really like what Dad said, that you just can't tolerate disobedience and you want people to obey you in everything?"
Su Ranran pulled out the hand that Han Chengyu was holding, and said with a forced smile: "Chengyu, don't talk to Aunt Ling like that."
Then he looked at Ling Siyan and whispered, "Auntie, I don't want you and your son to end up in this mess because of me. I am willing to break up with Chengyu and never see him again."
Han Chengyu grabbed Su Ranran who was about to get up and leave, looked at Ling Siyan, and said with a wry smile: "Mom, they say that if you love someone, you will love his or her dog too. Why can't you like what I like? I don't even ask you to like it, I just ask you to accept what I like, isn't that okay?"
Ling Siyan watched this farce with no change in expression. She asked back without any warmth in her eyes, "Then why can't you hate what I hate? I don't ask you to hate it too, I just want you to accept what I hate, isn't that all?"
Seeing Han Chengyu speechless, Ling Siyan found it funny: "Look, you can't do it yourself, but you ask me to do it."
"Why?" Ling Siyan said indifferently: "Do I owe you?"
Lu Xiao never interrupted the conversation between the mother and son, but this time he could no longer tolerate it.
He looked at Han Chengyu and said coldly, "You want your mother to treat you well as before and put you first in everything, but you don't want her to ask about your affairs. As a person, you can't have both. That's too greedy."
"So, why do you have to force it? You like what you like, and I stay away from what I hate. You are already 18 years old, and I have no obligations to you anymore. From now on, don't come to me if you have nothing to do. Go to your dad if you have something to do."
Ling Siyan stood up, pulled Lu Xiao upstairs, and said to the people downstairs: "Butler, show the guests out!"
