Chapter 312: Leave Him

The Ling Family and the Han Family have had dealings for a long time, and later, because of the friendship between Ling Feng and Han Yangting, the two families became even closer.

Now that the Han Family has a joyous occasion, the Ling parents naturally had to come.

As soon as they arrived, many of the guests at the scene went up to greet them.

Although in this society today, the status of merchants has risen, they are ultimately inferior to established noble families; everyone wants to attach themselves to them, and if they cannot, getting a familiar face is also acceptable.

Seeing this, Ye Caiyue and Han Yangting could not help but go up to greet them as well.

After some handshaking, pleasantries, and smoothing things over, the Han Family finally ushered Ling Feng's parents to the VIP seats.

After that, it was time to keep them company.

Mou Lili saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart was as clear as a mirror.

If even Han Yangting had to show some deference to these people, then, for her and Ling Feng, it was absolutely impossible!

After a while, Han Yangting came over and said to Bai Shuruo, "Father Ling and Mother Ling want to see the baby; let's carry the baby over."

"Alright." Bai Shuruo knew Ling Feng's family background and dared not be negligent.

Previously, many guests came over and could only look at the baby through the curtain, but Ling Feng's parents were different; they could touch and hold the baby.

Ling Feng also followed over, but before going, he pulled on Mou Lili.

Mou Lili said, "I won't go over."

"Go say hello, let my parents know who I have been with during this time."

"I don't want to invite humiliation."

"How is it inviting humiliation?" Ling Feng said helplessly.

"I'm not going, anyway," Mou Lili said.

Ling Feng had no choice but to go over alone.

Ling Father and Ling Mother could not put the baby down; they were older and just loved little babies.

The two of them carefully took turns holding the baby in their arms, and Ling Mother even tucked an extra large red envelope onto the baby.

After teasing the baby for a while, Ling Mother began to target Ling Feng: "Ling Feng, when will you also give us a big grandson? A granddaughter is fine too."

Ling Feng said, "Giving birth to a child is easy; I can have as many as I want."

"Then go ahead and have one," Ling Father said.

"It's someone else's big day, why are you saying these things?" Ling Feng said with dissatisfaction.

Ling Father wanted to lose his temper, but with so many people around, it was not easy for him to do so.

The guests on the side watched and sighed; they did not expect that such a large family would also worry about having no one to inherit the family property, and when they urged marriage, they were just like ordinary people.

Some guests helped by lecturing Ling Feng:

"Ling Feng, you aren't young anymore; hurry up and have a grandson for your mother to raise so she can be at ease."

"You can't be too promiscuous when you're young; it all consumes your future energy."

"..."

Fortunately, Ling Feng had a thick skin; he retorted to each person, and others dared not say anything more to him.

Ling Father and Ling Mother knew their status; they would only make the guests feel stifled here, so after holding the baby for a while, they said they wanted to walk around the garden and let everyone enjoy themselves.

Bai Shuruo carried the baby back to the Castle; such a small baby could not stay outside all the time, he needed to rest.

Bai Shunan was about to accompany Bai Shuruo back when she turned and saw Ling Feng.

Bai Shunan had always been generous; seeing an acquaintance, she naturally had to greet them: "Ling Feng."

"Hi!" Ling Feng also greeted her politely.

"Long time no see."

"Long time no see," Ling Feng said.

In fact, they had seen each other on video conferences; after all, Ling Feng and Bai Shunan were still partners, only Ling Feng did not manage company affairs much anymore.

While the two were talking, Han Yangting had already walked to Bai Shuruo's side; he wanted to go back with his wife to carry the baby, so Bai Shunan did not intervene.

Bai Shunan said to Ling Feng, "You went to Gui Province; are you doing well?"

"Quite well," Ling Feng said.

He had already deliberately kept his distance from Bai Shunan.

For someone he was destined not to have, he would not keep forcing it.

Seeing that he had no intention of conversing, Bai Shunan knew that she had indeed hurt his heart; if she came to get close again, it would make her seem like a "green tea" bitch.

She smiled and said again, "Your girlfriend came too, right? She is alone over there; you should hurry over to accompany her."

"Alright." Ling Feng did not show much enthusiasm; he turned around and walked toward Mou Lili.

It was also strange; he had just seen Mou Lili eating not far away, but in the blink of an eye, she was nowhere to be seen.

Mou Lili was currently strolling through the Manor.

It was late autumn, and the sunflowers in the Manor were in full bloom; she went over to take some photos and videos.

Just as she was taking them, she heard the rustling of footsteps behind her.

There were many guests in the Manor today, so it was not strange to hear footsteps.

She thought to herself that she had no money and no status, and she did not know most of the people here, so there was no need to strike up a conversation.

Just as she was about to leave, the person behind her said sternly, "Stop!"

Mou Lili paused and turned around to see a graceful and luxurious woman; the woman was wearing a cloud-patterned silk cheongsam, wrapped in a white silk scarf, with a cold expression, like a woman from an ancient noble family.

She was so noble that it made one want to kneel and pay respects.

Mou Lili probably knew in her heart who the person opposite her was.

She nodded to her and said politely, "Hello, Auntie."

"You know who I am, right?"

Mou Lili said, "You are Ling Feng's mother."

Ling Mu walked up to her, first stroked a sunflower in front of her, and then spoke: "How long have you been seeing Ling Feng?"

Mou Lili said, "Auntie, are you referring to how long we've known each other? We've known each other for a few months now."

"Could it be that he hasn't had any intimate relations with you?"

Mou Lili said, "Auntie, these are private matters, it's not convenient to disclose them, but I can make one thing clear: I am not Ling Feng's official girlfriend."

The implication was, if you have any anger, please don't take it out on me.

Ling Mu chuckled: "Since you aren't his official girlfriend, then why are you pestering him?"

"Auntie, neither Ling Feng nor I are pestering anyone; we are just friends."

Ling Mu smiled once more: "I understand the tricks you girls use. At first, you come under the guise of being friends, but once you truly taste the convenience that fame and fortune bring, you will throw yourselves at him wholeheartedly; no one can refuse power."

Mou Lili said, "What Auntie says seems very reasonable; I find myself unable to refute it."

"The house you are living in now, you must find it quite comfortable, right?" Ling Mu asked again.

Mou Lili had not expected Ling Mu to even know about this; she must have already investigated her thoroughly.

In front of Ling Mu, she was transparent.

"It's quite comfortable," Mou Lili said.

Ling Feng looked at her: "I can buy that house and give it to you."

"And the conditions?" Mou Lili asked.

Seeing that Mou Lili caught on immediately, Ling Mu felt that Mou Lili was not stupid, but she did not like a daughter-in-law who was too clever.

"The condition is naturally that you leave Ling Feng, or, if you feel one house is not enough, then we can add a little more; money, or houses, or cars, anything is fine."

Mou Lili smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing that I have a day where I am worth so much," Mou Lili said.

"Then are you agreeing or not?" Ling Mu asked aggressively.
