Chapter 873 - He’s Huo Ci! (1/2)

It would have been fine if the others had not seen her. Upon seeing Ling Sheng walk over, everyone’s expressions changed. Their expressions were very unnatural, but they still greeted her warmly.

Ling Sheng had become a big celebrity. She was earning a lot of money, became successful, and was now impressive. The news spread like wildfire, and the whole town knew about it.

In this society, people had always laughed at the poor but not the prostitutes[1]. Money was omnipotent. No matter what kind of relationship they had had with you in the past or how they had looked down on you in the past, as long as you were making money now, everyone was great friends and family. That was the reality.

Ling Sheng greeted them gently and politely with small talk before going in to find Grandma Lin.

Grandma Lin was very happy that her grandson was getting married. However, she was already pretty old after all. It was cold outside, so she could not keep being busy outside. Thus, she was helped into the house by her grandson to rest.

“Grandma Lin.” Ling Sheng greeted her with a smile and walked over.

Grandma Lin was sitting on the sofa and watching television. Upon hearing Ling Sheng’s voice, she turned around hurriedly and greeted her warmly, giving them wedding candy. “Sheng Sheng, you’re here! Come and sit here quickly.”

Grandma Lin was alone in the house, and everyone was busy outside. They would be eating soon.

After Jun Shiyan entered, he was afraid that someone would barge in, so he deliberately closed the door. He even asked An Yan to watch the door and not let an unrelated person in.

Xiaoqi was familiar with Grandma Lin and sat beside her. Grandma even unwrapped a piece of soft candy for the child. “Xiaoqi, do you miss Grandma?”

Xiaoqi nodded. His mouth was still full of candy so he spoke incoherently, “Yes.”

Grandma Lin was overjoyed. She asked Ling Sheng, “Sheng Sheng, will you and your husband stay for two more days? If it’s not convenient at home and you don’t have everything, come over to Grandma.”

Upon hearing her mention her husband, Ling Sheng held her breath suddenly. She pointed at Jun Shiyan and asked carefully, “Grandma, do you still remember him?”

Grandma Lin frowned. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t we meet in the afternoon? Grandma is not muddled either. He’s your husband.”

Ling Sheng was delighted. Grandma still remembered. She really still remembered. Overjoyed, she blurted out, “Grandma, how did you know he’s my husband?”

No!

He was not her husband!

They were not married yet!

“You told me this afternoon. He’s your husband, Xiaoqi’s father.” Grandma Lin wondered what was wrong with this child. She even smiled at Nangong Lengyu. “This is your biological mother. You told me everything.”

Ling Sheng’s heart, which had been full of joy and excitement, turned cold again. She pointed at Jun Shiyan and asked once more, “Grandma, don’t you remember that he came to my mother’s funeral? Or was it a funeral arranged by him?”

Grandma Lin was baffled. What was wrong with this child? She kept saying things she did not understand. “What’s wrong with you today, child? When did I say that? Your mother’s funeral was arranged by us neighbors.”

Nangong Lengyu also looked at Ling Sheng in confusion, her beautiful face stiff. “Sheng Sheng, what are you talking about? Didn’t your mother pass away a year ago? Did you know Ah Yan at the funeral? Why would he arrange the funeral matters? Exactly when did the two of you meet?”

The two of them had lied even to her? Had they known each other long ago?

Ling Sheng’s heart skipped a beat as she pinched Jun Shiyan’s hand secretly. Auntie Yu did not remember anymore. She no longer remembered what Grandma Lin had said when they met. In order to confirm this, she asked, “Auntie Yu, do you remember what she said when we met Grandma Lin in the afternoon?”

Nangong Lengyu did not know why she was asking this. She did not have amnesia, so how could she not remember? “Auntie asked us to come over for the wedding banquet.”

“What else?” Ling Sheng’s hand grabbed Jun Shiyan’s hand tightly. Their fingers interlocked as she held her breath nervously.
