Chapter 894: A Gold and Silver Kennels Can’t be Compared to One’s Own Dog Kennel

Ling Sheng was taken aback. She turned around to look at her father and realized that there wasn’t much change to his expression. She let out a low cough and suppressed the words.

Nangong Lengmo barged in directly. Out of good upbringing and courtesy, he was not in a hurry to stop his father. Instead, he greeted the two elders of the Huo Family first. “Uncle Huo, Auntie Huo, sorry to disturb you.”

Nangong Lun had not expected him to catch up so quickly. He was already fuming, but when he saw him, his anger burned even more. He knew that it had to be that traitor Old Li again.

He had come to China on a private itinerary. He had been afraid that he would cause trouble and had already sent him away. Since he had rushed over almost right after him, Old Li must have told him immediately.

“My father didn’t cause you trouble, right?” Nangong Lengmo had not expected that he would still have the cheek to look for Sheng Sheng after what he had done back then had been exposed!

He had been too ashamed to talk to Sheng Sheng himself because of what he had done. He had not dared to talk to Sheng Sheng. As the person involved and the culprit, he could still come to the Huo Family soopenly.

He knew very well that he must have come to ask for her.

In his entire life, his father doted on his older sister the most. When he had sent Little Star away, he had stubbornly thought that it was for his sister’s sake.

Now, he was still so selfish and stubborn. He wanted to fetch Sheng Sheng back for his sister.

“Take your father away!” Huo Xiao did not want to talk to this stubborn old man. It wasn’t enough to feel angry. Out of sight, out of mind.

“Have you thought it through?” Nangong Lun held back a mouthful of blood, feeling even more displeased with Ling Sheng. She was too similar; she had been carved out of the same mold as her father. If it had not been for Yu’er, he definitely would not have spoken to her.

“Yes, yes, yes.” Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly and asked with a smile, “Old Master Nangong, I don’t know if you’ve heard of a saying, but gold and silver kennels can’t compare to one’s own dog kennel[1].”

“I hope you won’t regret your choice today,” Nangong Lun’s eyes darkened further. She had indeed followed her father in personality and not Yu’er in the slightest bit.

“Father!” Nangong Lengmo shouted angrily. He had indeed guessed correctly. He had come to fetch Sheng Sheng. Why was he still so stubborn and refused to realize his errors at this point in time?

He did not need to think to know that he had definitely promised Sheng Sheng with all kinds of benefits. However, this young girl was not so easily tempted by benefits. She had her own set of principles and adhered to her bottom line.

“I also hope that Old Master Nangong’s fortune will be as immense as the East Sea and may you live as long as the South Mountain[2]! There will never be a day when you will regret what you have done.” Ling Sheng’s smile became even sweeter.

Tsk, she would regret it? What the Nangong Family could give her, her father could give her, and the Third Master could also give her. She already had two major backers. Why would she still go to his Nangong Family? He did not like her anyway!

A self-righteous old man was the most annoying. Her family’s grandpa was still the cutest.

Nangong Lun did not talk to her anymore either. He looked at Huo Xiao and his wife. Even if this discussion had fallen through and their friendship was gone, the most basic manners were still present. “Then we’ll take our leave. Sorry to disturb.”

“Sheng Sheng.” Nangong Lengmo took the opportunity to run to Ling Sheng’s side. He frowned and whispered, “He didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?”

“Hi, Director Chen.” Ling Sheng shook her head and greeted him with a sweet smile.

Nangong Lengmo’s voice fell, and he did not feel good. He mumbled ashamedly and uncomfortably in a soft voice, “It’s not Director Chen. I’m Uncle.”

Ling Sheng readily accepted the correction and immediately changed the way she addressed him. She smiled at him and even bowed. “Hi, Uncle.”

The crisp, sweet voice made Nangong Lun’s expression turn even uglier. When he turned around, he saw the young lady by the side smiling sincerely and sweetly on her pretty face. It was not the fake smile, that was so perfunctory that it could be used as a mask, when facing him.

Ling Sheng really liked this maternal uncle. Besides, what had happened back then had nothing to do with him. She tugged at him and asked softly, “Is my mother back?”

Nangong Lengmo was floating a little from joy because she called him uncle. His heart skipped a beat as he whispered in her ear, “I’ve already informed her. She’s already rushing back.”

Nangong Lun watched the two of them whisper to each other. The way she had addressed Nangong Lengmo as ‘Uncle’ was really smooth and intimate. He had been here for a long time, but he had yet to hear her call him Grandpa.

Ever since he had entered the Huo Family and been rejected, he had not been that angry. He had not been that angry either when she had addressed him as Old Master Nangong politely and distantly. However, his chest had burned with anger because she had called Nangong Lengmo ‘Uncle’.

“When will she be back?” After saying that, Ling Sheng even cast Nangong Lun a careful and meaningful look, her expression one of fear.

“Don’t worry, he won’t come and cause you trouble again.” Nangong Lengmo comforted her in a gentle voice. He just knew that he had scared Little Star with his appearance, so he glared at his father unhappily.

Miraculously, he found that his father had not been angry when he had first come over but he was angry now. He was even sulking.

“Let’s go.” Nangong Lun did not want to stay here anymore. He was someone who had been completely excluded while they were the people standing on the opposite side. Even his son, who had just rushed over, was not on his side!

He had raised a good son indeed!

Nangong Lengmo reminded Ling Sheng again, “Ignore him if he comes looking for you in the future again.”

Ling Sheng nodded obediently and hummed in agreement seriously. She was aware. “Take care, Uncle. Take care, Old Master Nangong.”

Nangong Lengmo left with Nangong Lun.

Nangong Lengmo was very happy. He had initially thought that Sheng Sheng would shift her resentment to him because of his father. He had not expected her to not resent or hate him at all. When he thought of that sweet address ‘Uncle’, he smiled like a fool.

“Does your sister know?” Nangong Lun let out a cold snort as he looked at the person beside him. She only called him ‘Uncle’, yet he was so happy. She should have called him Uncle in the first place. It was simply something she should do!

“Father.” Upon hearing his voice, Nangong Lengmo put away the smile on his face and told him seriously, “If you’re doing this for my sister’s sake, don’t interfere in Sheng Sheng’s matter anymore. Big Sister will handle it herself. Sheng Sheng is not the kind of girl you think she is either. Don’t use your business tactics on her.”

He was already very polite in his speech. To a relative, such a method was an insult! And he obviously did not treat Sheng Sheng as a relative.

He had only come to negotiate. What else could he do? He could only use his usual tactics because he thought that there was nothing money could not buy.

“How will she handle it? Haven’t you seen that girl’s attitude as well? With her capabilities, can she compete with Huo Ci and win?” Nangong Lun’s eyes were very cold, and flames flickered in them.

What kind of person was Huo Ci? He was a d*mn scoundrel! That girl’s personality was 100% like that scumbag Huo Ci! He got angry just by looking at him!
