Chapter 556: Young Master?

“Big Brother Yun, I called a few brothers over to help with the grand opening of the clinic tomorrow. I’ll have to meet them tonight...”

“Brothers?” Ling Yun wanted to know what was up Tang Meng’s sleeves.

“The ones Li Qingchuan and I grew up with. Now that I’m toiling over this, I can’t let them rest easy!” Tang Meng laughed.

The “brothers” were none other than the friends of Tang Meng, who since young engaged in the hobbies of playing, peeing all over, and eating mud. They went by a resounding group name — Nouveau Riche.

“How come I’ve never seen them in school?” Ling Yun asked.

“Haha, Big Brother Yun, Qingshui City has high schools other than Qingshui High...” Tang Meng looked at Ling Yun as though he was an idiot.

Of course, for a provincial capital with a population of several million, there had to be more than one high school.

“Alright, go along. I’ll return to Mansion Number Nine with Xian Er, and Tie Xiaohu will stay here to look after the house. Before I return, you can work on the Stellar Condensation Technique.”

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu wanted to see what Bai Xianer looked like, and now that Ling Yun was almost done with his errands, it was time for him to take Bai Xianer to see them.

“Xian Er, Lingyu you’ve seen before. The people we’re meeting today, including my aunty, are the people dearest to me. You have to protect them in the future, understand?”

“Also, some people might fault me or bicker with me, don’t put it to heart. They’re doing that for my good, albeit through a different way of expression,” Ling Yun said to Bai Xianer on the way there.

What Ling Yun was talking about was indeed his argument with Miao Xiaomiao that morning. He had to teach Bai Xianer to slowly understand.

Miao Xiaomiao was still alright, but once Qin Dongxue, Ling Yun’s relative, started bickering with him, Bai Xianer’s retaliation would land Ling Yun in a difficult situation.

Bai Xianer wasn’t as naive as Ling Yun had imagined, so she nodded submissively with a sweet smile, agreeing to what Ling Yun had just said.

“Take the sunglasses off, we’re a family anyways,” Ling Yun said smilingly to Bai Xianer at the gate of Mansion Number Nine.

Instead of decelerating, the Land Rover roared and barged right into the front yard of the mansion.

Hearing the roaring engine, Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu rushed out to welcome them.

Once he got out of the car, Ling Yun took a deep breath. The fragrance of food from within the mansion reached his nose as he thought, This smells like my mom’s cooking. Could she be at home?

“Aunty, who cooked up such a fragrant meal?”

No one answered him. Both Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu were astonished by Bai Xianer.

Her unrivaled beauty, her graceful demeanor that arose from her delicate movements, and her stunning aura had enraptured everyone that she’d met. There were no exceptions.

Well... except one — the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect saw her and was as calm as still water.

“Ling Yun, this... this... this is?”

“Ah... she, she...”

She’s beautiful! That was the sentence that they were dying to say.

Actually, Ning Lingyu was in no way less beautiful than Bai Xianer, it was just that she was too young to match the innate charming demeanor of a vixen.

One was a one-of-a-kind immortal spiritual body, while the other was a nine-tailed celestial fox. Both were of the same caliber in terms of appeal.

Fairy Qin, too, was an outstanding beauty, with her natural maturity and spirituality being her most prominent features. Between movement and stillness, she was like a fairy descended onto Earth, her ethereal spirituality untainted by the world.

Hehe, what a sight... Ling Yun stared at the beauty of the three women and celebrated in his heart over his good romantic fortune.

“Aunty, Lingyu, this is Bai Xianer. Xian Er, come meet Aunty...” Ling Yun finally pulled Bai Xianer over for a mutual introduction after he was done staring.

Yeah, Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu had long figured out that she was Bai Xianer. Before Ling Yun could finish the introduction, Qin Dongxue held Bai Xianer’s delicate hands in a natural motion, without a trace of reservation.

“Xian Er, let’s talk inside. Dinner will be ready soon!”

With Ning Lingyu and Qin Dongxue preoccupied with Bai Xianer, Ling Yun could only sigh to express his helplessness. It had been a long time since they entered the house, and there wasn’t a single person to brew tea for him.

A woman in her fifties, tranquil and calm, with a kind and amiable smile, came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea in her hand. Her movements were neat and precise.

Houtian Realm Level Nine!

Ling Yun immediately detected the realm of the lady.

“Is Young Master back? What a handsome young man! You must be thirsty, come, drink some tea.”

Young Master? Since when did I become a young master? Is there another guest in the house?

Ling Yun was a little confused until Qin Dongxue came over, gave him a kick, and pouted. “Don’t just sit there! Come meet Aunt Mei!”

Ling Yun had finally figured out who made the dishes. Rising immediately and bowing slightly, he said with deference, “Hello, Aunt Mei!”

“Young Master, that won’t do... that won’t do... Come up before you hurt yourself!” Aunt Mei seemed flustered. She put the tea down and hurried to help Ling Yun stand straight.

“Aunt Mei, Ling Yun is still a child, and we’re outside. You don’t have to be so nice to him...” Qin Dongxue took Aunt Mei’s arm and spoke in a delicate voice. Then, she turned to Ling Yun and stared at him.

“Ling Yun, you brat, listen up. Aunt Mei is from our Qin Family. My sister and I grew up with Aunt Mei. If you dare disrespect Aunt Mei, just wait and see!”

In a word, Ling Yun roughly guessed that Aunt Mei was a loyal servant of the Qin Family. To put it bluntly, she was the servant who served Qin Dongxue and Qin Qiuyue food and took care of them in their formative years.

Ling Yun was deeply shocked. Hadn’t the Qin Family declined? How come even a servant had the power of Houtian Realm Level Nine?

He contemplated that the true strength of the seven big families in Beijing was much stronger than it seemed on the surface.

“This is an inviolable courtesy, Miss Qin! Since Ling Yun is the child of First Daughter Miss Qin, then he has the same status as Lingyu...”

The humble words of Aunt Mei had caused Ling Yun to take a liking to this sincere old lady.

“Aunt Mei, I’m just a junior, no need for so many formalities here. You can just address me as Ling Yun.” Ling Yun once again bowed.

“Please don’t call me Young Master or whatever...” Ling Yun muttered awkwardly.

“Aunt Mei, just call him by name like you do for Lingyu,” Qin Dongxue told Aunt Mei after pouting at Ling Yun.

As someone who stayed in the Qin Family for over 40 years and took care of Qin Dongxue and Qin Qiuyue, her status and perception were remarkable. Without further declining, she agreed with a sincere smile.

After some simple words of greeting, Qin Dongxue introduced Bai Xianer to Aunt Mei. She stunned Aunt Mei as well. She eagerly served tea and took great care of the four of them.

Even though Qin Dongxue didn’t strictly enforce formalities and formal greetings, she was used to the service of Aunt Mei since young.

Moreover, the job of Aunt Mei itself was to take care of the daily needs of her and Ning Lingyu.

“Please sit here while I go get the dishes. Dinner will be ready in a minute.”

With a smile, Aunt Mei went into the kitchen and served the dishes.

“Brat, count yourself lucky that you came back today. Your mom’s culinary skills were taught by Aunt Mei...”

Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, but at the same time, he was reminded of Qin Qiuyue thousands of miles away. His mother had ventured alone into the Heavenly Mountain, and no one knew how it went.

Up until now, not a single rumor had reached Ling Yun’s ears.

Aunt Mei’s culinary skills were indeed similar to those of Qin Qiuyue. Even the taste of the dishes was indistinguishable.

“Aunty, I asked Tang Meng to find a housekeeping company and let them manage the hygiene and cleanliness of the villas two or three times a week...” Ling Yun told Qin Dongxue after dinner.

“Young Master, no need to spend unnecessary money. I can handle those trivial matters myself.” Aunt Mei smiled and told Ling Yun while collecting the plates.

“Aunt Mei, haven’t we agreed on this? You can just call me Ling Yun, I’m really not used to it...” Ling Yun was a contemptible, troublesome wrench.

“Oh, how silly am I? One meal and I’ve forgotten...” Aunt Mei laughed and blamed herself. She didn’t expect Ling Yun to be so handsome. She took a liking to him and unconsciously saw him as Qin Qiuyue’s biological son.

Aunt Mei took care of Qin Qiuyue’s daily needs and trained with her until she was eighteen. Their bond was no less than that of a mother and daughter.

Qin Qiuyue was kicked out the moment she turned eighteen. Another eighteen years had flown by, and Aunt Mei couldn’t contain how much she missed her.

After she arrived, looking at Qin Qiuyue’s clothes and photographs was akin to seeing her in person. Moreover, listening to Ning Lingyu talk about how her mother survived these eighteen years, Aunt Mei couldn’t help but weep uncontrollably.

Now that she saw both the son and the daughter of Qin Qiuyue, she doted on them like they were her own.

Ling Yun soon brought up the formal topic.

“Aunty, my clinic opens tomorrow!”

He came to discuss this.

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu laughed simultaneously. “We already knew! The cucumber would have gone cold if we waited for you to say it!”

Ning Lingyu had lived in Miracle Doctor Xue’s house and had a great relationship with Xue Meining, calling each other almost daily. For a big event like the grand opening of the clinic, Xue Meining obviously told her.

“Uh... Since that’s the case, would Aunty and Lingyu be okay with coming to support me tomorrow?” Ling Yun rubbed his nose and said with a smile.
