Chapter 682 - I Want Aunty Xiao Hong
The Elder Miss’s biological mother?
Xiao Hong searched in her brain for a while before understanding who Ms. Zhang was referring to.
“Why is she here?” Why would a woman who hasn’t had any contact with the Ling family for such a long time suddenly come here?
Ms. Zhang’s facial expression was grim. “Apparently, she heard that Tianxin has come back and has come to visit her.”
Xiao Hong lowered her head and thought for a moment. “We’d better let her in.”
Yu Meizi had said that she was here to visit her child. As a stepmother, Xiao Hong didn’t have any reason not to let the biological mother see her child, especially considering Ling Tianxin’s circumstances.
Yu Meizi was waiting in the courtyard. She had all sorts of feelings in her heart. In the past, her comings and goings didn’t have to be reported by the servants. Now, she was stopped outside the house. If that woman didn’t allow her entry, then she really couldn’t go in.
Soon, Ms. Zhang came out. “The lady of the house will allow you to enter.”
Hearing Ms. Zhang refer to Xiao Hong as the lady of the house, Yu Meizi’s eyes flashed, and she walked in, her lips pulled tightly.
The Ling family courtyard was different than it had been in the past. Some things were less, some things were more and everything was foreign, just like the woman in this mansion. Everything here was related to her and Yu Meizi’s daughter Ling Tianxin.
Yu Meizi raised her chin. Since she was here, she couldn’t let that woman look down upon her.
Although Ms. Zhang felt disdain toward Yu Meizi, she was still Ling Tianya’s mother. Simply due to that fact, Ms. Zhang didn’t dare act impudently toward her.
Yu Meizi also knew this and therefore dared to walk in with her head held high.
After walking through the gate, she immediately saw Xiao Hong, who had a better figure and figure than she had when she was younger. Yu Meizi’s eyes tightened, and she fixed her hair nervously.
“Come in. Please take a seat.” Xiao Hong politely welcomed Yu Meizi.
Yu Meizi was not modest and strutted in.
Xiao Hong grudgingly followed Yu Meizi and said to Ms. Zhang, “Prepare some tea and snacks.”
“Okay.” Ms. Zhang immediately went to get them.
“Where’s Ling Tao?” Yu Meizi asked Xiao Hong as she walked familiarly into the living room.
When Yu Meizi mentioned Ling Tao, Xiao Hong’s expression became rigid. “Elder brother Tao has a social engagement this afternoon, so he has gone out,” she said.
After Madame Ling’s lecture last time, Xiao Hong now addressed Ling Tao as Elder Brother Ling rather than President Ling.
Hearing Xiao Hong acknowledging Ling Tao so intimately, Yu Meizi’s forehead wrinkled and she asked in a miserable tone, “And the old lady?”
“The old lady feels that staying at home is too depressing. She went out for a walk,” Xiao Hong said truthfully.
Yu Meizi’s eyes flickered. This meant that both Ling Tao and Madame Ling weren’t home!
In the living room, Ling Tianxin was watching television. Peppa Pig was on, and Ling Tianxin was very engrossed in it. She would laugh and occasionally frown as she reacted to the cartoon’s plot.
Yu Meizi looked at Ling Tianxin and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. However, before Xiao Hong went to introduce her, she stopped her true expression from showing and changed it to one of concern.
“Tianxin...” Yu Meizi walked over, sat on the sofa and hugged Ling Tianxin.
Ling Tianxin, who was happily watching television, felt Yu Meizi, who had suddenly appeared, hug her. She was shocked and started shouting, looking toward Xiao Hong and asking for help. “Ah! Who are you?! Aunty Xiao Hong, save me! Aunt Xiao Hong! I want Aunty Xiao Hong!”
