Chapter 894 - A Gold and Silver Kennels Can’t be Compared to One’s Own Dog Kennel (1/2)

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.”
