Chapter 341
"Ling'er!"
Suddenly, a loud shout startled Zhong Ling and also attracted the attention of Lin Fan and the others.
"Ah, my mother is here! Brother Lin, run!"
Zhong Ling discovered that her mother, Gan Gan Baobao, had come looking for her, and her first reaction was to run. Lin Fan and Shen Shen Bijun both laughed.
Mu Mu Wanqing didn't laugh, because her master—oh no, her mother, Qin Qin Hongmian—had also come.
"Mother, why are you here too!"
Mu Mu Wanqing also asked Qin Qin Hongmian with a guilty conscience.
"Since you could travel thousands of miles to find your lover, I can naturally travel thousands of miles to find you, this unfilial daughter!"
Looking at Mu Mu Wanqing, Qin Qin Hongmian also revealed an expression of hating that iron wouldn't become steel.
Lin Fan signaled for the crane to land, then took Mu Mu Wanqing and the others to stand before Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao.
"You dead girl, not only did you secretly run away from home, but the first thing you did when you saw your mother was to try and run away! You're really going to be the death of me!"
Gan Gan Baobao had a fiery temper; she strode over and grabbed Zhong Ling's ear.
As for Qin Qin Hongmian and Mu Mu Wanqing, the two looked at each other, speechless.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Brother Lin, save me!"
Zhong Ling immediately cried out and asked Lin Fan for help.
At this moment, how could Lin Fan speak up? He was the culprit behind Zhong Ling running away from home. Now that her mother had come looking for her, he was feeling guilty enough as it was.
"Mu Wanqing, you still walked down your mother's old path, falling in love with a man who has so many confidantes. Do you want to be lonely for a lifetime like your mother?"
After a long silence, Qin Qin Hongmian couldn't help but speak.
"Mother, Lin Fan is different from Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun. Dali Duan Dali Duan Zhengchun was flirtatious everywhere but took no responsibility. Because there was Dao Dao Baifeng in the Prince's Manor, he didn't dare bring any woman back, leaving you all behind to continue his philandering. He didn't even know of the existence of us daughters. But Lin Fan is consistent from beginning to end; as long as they are his women, they can accompany him by his side. And he treats everyone equally, sharing his love and rain. I think he is the best husband in the world!"
Mu Mu Wanqing held Qin Qin Hongmian's hand and poured her heart out to her.
"You, you... even so, you should have told your mother. How could you just leave a letter and run away from home? Furthermore, you even abducted Ling'er, causing your martial aunt to come find me to settle scores!"
Qin Qin Hongmian also possessed a diary copy; she could understand Mu Mu Wanqing's choice, but Mu Mu Wanqing leaving without saying goodbye and taking Zhong Ling with her made her somewhat dissatisfied.
"Zhong Ling, that girl, wasn't abducted by me. I was very convenient on my own, but she insisted on following me after hearing I was going to find Lin Fan. I was forced by circumstances to take her along!"
Mu Mu Wanqing shook her head. What did this have to do with her? She hadn't intended to take her along in the first place.
"Sister Mu, how can you say that? It hurts my heart too much. We supported each other, encouraged each other, and in the end, it was with my help that we found Brother Lin. Now, aren't you crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, killing the donkey after the millstone is done?"
Even though Zhong Ling was having her ear pinched by Gan Gan Baobao, she still heard Mu Mu Wanqing's words and became somewhat dissatisfied. If it weren't for her obtaining the diary reward and being able to lock onto Lin Fan's location, how could Mu Mu Wanqing have found Lin Fan so easily?
"Alright, alright, alright, it's my fault for saying it wrong. Ling'er is the most useful!"
Mu Mu Wanqing hadn't expected that little girl Zhong Ling to have such sharp ears and actually hear it, so she apologized helplessly.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's leave first!"
Lin Fan noticed that this had already attracted the attention of many people. After all, except for him, everyone here was a great beauty: the cute Zhong Ling, the dignified Shen Shen Bijun, the capable Mu Mu Wanqing, the mature Gan Gan Baobao, and the noble lady Qin Qin Hongmian.
So he had the women board the crane, and then the crane soared into the sky, leaving the city.
"You are Lin Fan?"
On the back of the crane, Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao finally stopped dwelling on Mu Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, and instead asked Lin Fan in unison.
"That's right, I am Lin Fan. Greetings, two seniors!"
Seeing Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao notice him, Lin Fan stopped pretending to be silent.
"Why do you call us seniors? Since our daughters have followed you, it wouldn't be too much for you to call us mother-in-law, would it?"
Hearing this, Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao looked at each other, then asked curiously.
"This is actually still a bit too much, because Li Li Qingluo is also my woman. If I were to call you mother-in-law, then she would be a generation lower than you for no reason!"
Lin Fan was a bit embarrassed. Li Li Qingluo was of the same generation as Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao, and there was bad blood between them. Making her a generation lower for no reason would surely result in her coquettish scolding when he returned.
"What? Li Li Qingluo is also your woman! Then we must mock her properly!"
Although Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao had known about this for a long time, they still pretended to hear it for the first time, so they looked very surprised.
"Who are you mocking?"
Suddenly, a cold female voice came from behind them, leaving Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao stunned.
They quickly turned their heads to look; who else could it be but Li Li Qingluo?
It turned out that Lin Fan, seeing he couldn't handle Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao, simply summoned Li Li Qingluo to let them clash head-on.
"Of course we're mocking you. We heard that Wang Wang Yuyan is also Lin Fan's woman, so you're an old cow eating tender grass, and it's your own family's tender grass at that!"
Although Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao were startled, they reacted quickly and began to mock Li Li Qingluo.
"Do you think I look like an old cow eating tender grass?"
Li Li Qingluo leaned close to the two of them. Her skin, which could be broken by a blow, was flawless, tender, and moving. She didn't look like a married woman in her thirties or forties at all, but rather like a girl of fifteen or sixteen—and a girl with a youthful face and a large chest at that.
"How did you become like this!"
Although Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao knew that staying by Lin Fan's side must have many benefits, they didn't expect there to be so many. Compared to Li Li Qingluo, the two of them were completely like yellow-faced women in their thirties, which made them incredibly envious.
"Envious, aren't you? Lin Fan also has a Fountain of Youth. His women can all drink from it. As long as you drink it for a year, your appearance will remain unchanged until death. That is to say, I will always be like this, while you will slowly grow old and yellow, eventually becoming withered, wrinkled old hags!"
Seeing their envious and jealous expressions, Li Li Qingluo became even more smug and even mentioned the Fountain of Youth to entice them.
She didn't believe Qin Qin Hongmian and Gan Gan Baobao wouldn't be tempted. They still wanted to mock her? When they couldn't help but take the initiative to seek favor, she would be the one mocking them!
"Mother, you..."
Seeing this, Mu Mu Wanqing leaned into Qin Qin Hongmian's ear and whispered.
"That's right, Mother, you can also follow Brother Lin!"
Zhong Ling, that simple-minded silly girl, said it out loud directly. Anyway, she had no feelings for Zhong Zhong Wanchou. If her mother, Gan Gan Baobao, could be with her forever, wouldn't that be great?
"Dead girl, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Seeing Li Li Qingluo looking at her with a teasing expression, Gan Gan Baobao couldn't help but blush and pull Zhong Ling's ear.
"Brother Lin, save me! I was speaking up for you!"
"Sigh, Ling'er was just speaking without thinking. Seniors, please don't be too harsh on her!"
Lin Fan grabbed Gan Gan Baobao's hand and rescued Zhong Ling, who quickly hid behind Lin Fan.
"You, let go!"
Gan Gan Baobao's pretty face turned red. Her hand was being held by Lin Fan, and she was being watched by Zhong Ling and Li Li Qingluo, which made her feel ashamed.
