Chapter 71: He saved me?

After taking the phone from Leng Xuan, Ling Xuejiu was first reprimanded by Grandpa Ling Tian for a few sentences before being comforted by him. It was then he got to the point, "Xue’er, Grandpa has said before, in this world, if even Leng Xuan can’t protect you, then no one else can. You might not know this, but he has actually saved your life once..."

Ling Xuejiu was extremely shocked and interrupted Ling Tian, "Grandpa, what are you saying? He, he saved me?"

Ling Tian said, "Yes, but there are some things I don’t want you to know too much about, so I won’t mention how he saved you. Sigh, Xue Jiu, listen to Grandpa, you must be obedient and not make Grandpa worry about your safety all the time. My health isn’t good, and I can’t withstand this torture. Moreover, I’ve heard from Old Liu that Leng Xuan has to take a taxi to and from school, is that true? Don’t you have a car of your own? If you don’t want to drive it, just give the key to Leng Xuan. You’ve picked up a chauffeur for free."

Having said it to this point, Ling Xuejiu, although she had a thousand and one objections, and a thousand reluctances in her heart, thought of Grandpa’s health. If she upset him and caused his heart condition to flare up, she would regret it too late. At the moment, how could she dare to say anything more? She would just treat Leng Xuan as if he were invisible in the future.

At the same time, she was very skeptical about Grandpa saying that Leng Xuan had saved her. But since it was Grandpa who said it, she couldn’t completely disbelieve it. She wanted to ask more about it, but she knew very well that things Grandpa didn’t wish to talk about, she couldn’t find out no matter what, so she had to give up.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Xuejiu noticed that Leng Xuan’s expression had also become much softer, but the sight of him still inexplicably made her angry. She snorted, thinking, ’What is this bumpkin’s relationship with Grandpa anyway, why does Grandpa trust him almost more than he trusts me?’ Yet outwardly she said, "Listen well, Leng Xuan, although I don’t know by what means you’ve managed to win my Grandpa’s favor and insist on staying here, I want to make it clear to you that this is my territory. Since you’re going to stay, you’ll have to listen to me from now on. Whatever I tell you to do, you’ll have to do, and don’t annoy me without reason."

Leng Xuan felt incredibly aggrieved and frustrated internally; it had always been Miss Ling who was troubling him, so how had it turned out to be him annoying her?

However, considering that she was, after all, the Miss of the house and it was normal for her to have some temperament, and now that he had promised Old Master Ling, he naturally had to learn how to get along with this Miss. So he said, "As long as it’s not too excessive, I will listen to you."

Ling Xuejiu pursed her lips, her tears still not dry, looking very wronged. She snorted and was ready to go upstairs when Xiao Yun suddenly said, "Sister Xue, you haven’t eaten yet. The dishes have gone cold, do you want me to warm them up for you in the kitchen?"

Her face turning red, Ling Xuejiu had already eaten when she went shopping with Li Mengjie earlier. Thinking about how Xiao Yun had braved the rain to wait outside so long to bring her dinner and that it was now dark, her ride home on an electric bike along an unlit road would be very unsafe. Feeling all the more remorseful yet too proud to admit it, she said sullenly, "I don’t want to eat." After a pause, she added, "It’s getting late, Xiao Yun, you should stay here tonight!"

From the sofa, Li Mengjie looked at Ling Xuejiu with some surprise, thinking, "What’s gotten into this girl, she’s actually showing concern for someone?" She couldn’t help but laugh a little.
