Song Xia calculated the days and asked Lingling, "Your dad should be out soon, are you going to see him?"
When they were little, Xie Yuan didn't tell Lingling much. But in the last two years, as Lingling has become more sensible, he has told her everything so that Xie Yuan won't put on a sob story in front of her after he gets out of prison.
Lingling shook her head. Actually, her mother had only told her this once, but Aunt Qianqian and Aunt Yuting had told her many times. They told her how much her mother had suffered and how hard she had been deceived. Then, her father's family knew that she was allergic to mutton, but they still insisted on feeding her mutton just to make her sick so that her mother would not have the energy to manage the company. In the end, her grandfather even tried to murder her mother in order to seize her mother's property.
The more Lingling learned, the less affection she felt for her so-called father's family, and she even felt disgusted by them. How could there be such despicable and shameless people in this world?
"No, it's best if we never see each other again in this lifetime."
Song Xia lay on the balcony, petting the cat and sunbathing: "Even if you don't go looking for him, he might come looking for you someday. After all, he'll definitely have a hard time after he gets out of prison."
Lingling sneered, "Then let's wait until he comes to me to talk about it."
"Okay, since you don't like it, let's not talk about it anymore. Are you going shopping with Mom this afternoon?"
"I made an appointment with Lily, Mom. I'll go with you next time."
"Okay, is there anything you want? Mom will buy it for you. The latest clothes? Shoes? Or digital products?" Song Xia was very generous. Although she hadn't managed the company for the past few years, she had always kept a firm grasp on the overall direction, so she had a steady stream of income. In addition, with the money she had recovered from Xie Yuanyuan, she was now a very wealthy woman.
She also enjoys herself and never mistreats herself or Lingling, which leaves Lingling feeling quite helpless.
"Mom, my walk-in closet is already full, and I'm still growing, so I won't be able to wear too many clothes."
"What girl doesn't like having lots of clothes and shoes? But since you don't want any, Mom won't force you. Mom is going to a jewelry gala tonight, and I'll take pictures of you then. You can choose two pieces yourself."
"Mom, you should choose the one you like. I can't take those jewels out with me now. You can buy the one you like, and I can inherit it when I grow up."
Song Xia stroked her chin: "That's a good idea. Anyway, the price of jewelry won't drop much. Alright, go play with Lily. Mom transferred 20,000 yuan to you."
What could Lingling do but accept it? In reality, her monthly expenses were not small, but unfortunately, her mother gave her too much pocket money, so over the years, she had saved a considerable amount of money, which made Lily envious and clamor to be her mother's daughter.
Lingling sometimes felt helpless. She was glad she was rational, otherwise, with her mother's way of raising her, she would have raised a spendthrift son.
But what she didn't know was that it was precisely because Song Xia had figured out her temperament that she dared to let her run wild like this.
Lily is Lingling's best friend since childhood. The two not only get along well, but also come from similar family backgrounds. They are basically close friends who would stay at each other's homes.
The two had arranged to go to the amusement park today, intending to have a happy day, but unexpectedly encountered something that ruined their mood at the entrance.
"Lingling?" Zhang Yuefen shouldn't have recognized her after not seeing her for several years, but Lingling had grown up proportionally, and her features even resembled Xie Yuan's. Plus, when Lili called out, Zhang Yuefen recognized her.
Zhang Yuefen came with Xie Tianci, but she only bought a ticket for Xie Tianci. She planned to stay outside all day and collect some empty bottles.
"I am your grandmother." Looking at the tall, elegant girl in front of her, Zhang Yuefen was almost unable to recognize her. She then pointed to Xie Tianci and said, "This is your brother."
“Brother?” Lingling knew of Xie Tianci’s existence, after all, he was an illegitimate child born before her mother gave birth to her. She looked Xie Tianci up and down, really not wanting to admit that this fat man was her half-brother.
Xie Tianci's eyes lit up when he saw her and Lily.
"Tianci, quickly call her sister. You two are related by blood, so you should take care of each other in the future."
“Who wants to look after him?” Lingling said disdainfully. “My mother only gave birth to me. I don’t have any brothers. Don’t try to make connections with him.”
"How can you be so insensible? What kind of upbringing did your mother give you?"
Lingling snorted coldly: "How my mother taught me is none of your business. Lily, let's go inside."
"Tianci, hurry up and keep up." Zhang Yuefen gave him a push. "Take good care of your sister. If you need anything, just tell her. Your sister has money."
Lingling and Lily, who hadn't gone far, were disgusted by this explanation. Lily's eyes widened: "She's really your grandmother?"
“She’s his biological grandmother. I’m not close to her. Let’s leave quickly, I don’t want to get entangled with her.”
Both of them were tall and thin, and quick and agile, but Xie Tianci was different. Over the years, Zhang Yuefen had fattened him up, making him not agile at all. His facial features were originally well-inherited, but once a person gets fat, they inevitably become greasy, to the point that no one wanted to pay attention to his questions.
Besides, what would a man like him want with two young girls? So Xie Tianci lost his target.
However, this brief meeting stirred his mind. His sister's outfit that day looked expensive, and he wished he could get some money to spend.
As for Zhang Yuefen, her thoughts were even more disgusting. She actually thought about having Lingling introduce Lili to her grandson. Keep in mind that they had just finished compulsory education and were still children. She actually wanted her grandson to follow in her son's footsteps of living off his wife!
But no matter how much the two hoped, they couldn't find anyone after that. The last encounter was an accident, and the two were about to go abroad to study in high school.
The path to studying there was found by Lily's father. Song Xia also looked up information about the girls' school and thought it was good, so the two families started making preparations.
"Mom, what should I do if I miss you?"
“Mom visits you every month.”
"Flying once a month is too tiring. Let's just communicate via video."
"Then every two or three months. Mom is preparing to start traveling around the world. According to the plan, we will pass by your place in a while."
"Ah! Mom, why didn't you wait for me?" Traveling around the world was also Lingling's dream, and she thought her mother would go with her.
"Mom isn't just going around the world this once. Besides, it's not even certain that Mom will still be your travel companion in the future!"
Lingling snuggled affectionately into her arms: "Who else could it be but Mommy?"
"It could be Lily, or it could be your future boyfriend."
"I don't like those smelly boys. I'd rather stay with my mom forever."
"Silly child, isn't it silly to say such things? Stop fooling around. Do you still want to pack your things?" Song Xia straightened up. "Actually, it's fine if you don't pack. Just go over there and buy one more thing."
"No, these are all things I'm used to. Buying them over there might not be suitable." Lingling is very handy. She packed four large suitcases. When they arrived at the airport, Lily had one more than Lingling. No wonder the two of them got along so well.
