Chapter 379: 117: Clever Mrs. Zheng, Meeting the Parents One by One (revised)_1
Zheng Lingling turned her head towards Zheng Xianjing, a slight curve appeared on her lips, recognizing the look in the other’s eyes.
Despite Dr. Wang being unselfishly generous, he still has a son.
They could take action related to the son.
If they really wanted to go ahead, this matter would not be complicated.
What Zheng Lingling didn’t expect, was that the conversation in the study room continued even after she left.
Mrs. Zheng, tinged with worry, asked, “Butler Liu, do you really think modern equipment can be so accurate as to verify blood relations?”
Matters concerning her only daughter made Mrs. Zheng extremely worried.
She could not put all her hopes on the machines.
No matter how good the machine was, there could still be errors.
What if there were a mistake?
Butler Liu said, “Don’t worry, Madam. We live in an era of advanced science and technology! There surely won’t be any errors.”
Mrs. Zheng then said, “Butler Liu, you might have to go through the trouble again to send another hair sample to Dr. Xiaoran.”
“Madam, do you not trust Dr. Wang?” asked Butler Liu.
“An extra authentication so that I can have peace of mind. Butler Liu, I’m already 68 this year, and as the years pass, my health is deteriorating. I’m afraid…” Towards the end, Mrs. Zheng let out a deep sigh.
Her subsequent words were already understood without being spoken.
Butler Liu said, “Madam, you will surely live a long life!”
Mrs. Zheng laughed, “I understand my own body and mind well enough, Butler Liu. There’s no need for your consolation.”
Butler Liu followed up, “Madam, even if Miss Tingting is not found, you still have Xianjing by your side.”
“Xianjing is a good child, but smart people often encounter misfortune.” Mrs. Zheng looked up at the door, and continued to say, “I clearly understand what Lingling is considering in her heart.”
“A few days ago, did Lingling secretly look for you? Asking about Tingting’s matter?”
At these words, Butler Liu was taken aback; his gaze towards Mrs. Zheng changed.
He thought Mrs. Zheng knew nothing.
In reality, Mrs. Zheng was as clear-hearted as a mirror.
She knew everything, she just did not wish to bring it up.
The reason for seeking Dr. Xiaoran to verify the results was probably because she was worried that Zheng Lingling would ruin it from the inside.
Thinking of this, Butler Liu’s gaze towards Mrs. Zheng was filled with more respect.
Mrs. Zheng continued, “My older sister left us early, and Lingling was only seven years old when she came to live with me. Even though the girl might be a bit too assertive at times, she’s essentially not a bad person.”
Zheng Lingling was brought up by Mrs. Zheng, and she was her sister’s daughter.
Although they were not biological mother and daughter, their bond had the foundation of the previous generation’s relationship.
If it weren’t for a friend’s plea, Mrs. Zheng would not have been in the mood to adopt a daughter at the time.
Butler Liu nodded, “Madam, what you said is right.”
After Zheng Lingling and her daughter discussed their secret plans and left the room, they bumped into Butler Liu and Mrs. Zheng coming down the stairs.
“Grandma,” Zheng Xianjing came over reverently, supporting Mrs. Zheng’s arm.
Zheng Lingling said, “Mom, I have made chicken soup for you. The temperature is just right now. I will bring it over to you.”
Mrs. Zheng chuckled, “Lingling, you’ve worked hard. There is no need for you to make chicken soup for me every day.”
Zheng Lingling said, “It’s not hard at all to prepare some chicken soup. As your daughter, looking after you is only right.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Lingling turned around to fetch the chicken soup from the kitchen.
Zheng Xianjing led Mrs. Zheng to the couch to sit down.
Just as Zheng Lingling was walking into the living room with the chicken soup, she was knocked over by a figure.
“Bang!”
The chicken soup was spilled on the floor, and the porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces.
Clapping and laughter echoed in the air, “Wow! So much fun! It’s really fun! Hahaha!”
“Mom, are you alright?” Zheng Xianjing immediately ran over to help Zheng Lingling up.
Zheng Lingling was furious! Her eyes flashed with intense venom.
The chicken soup that she had worked hard on for over three hours had just been spilled by this crazy woman!
If it wasn’t for Mrs. Zheng’s presence, she would have slapped her already!
Zheng Lingling smiled and said, “I’m fine, Xianjing, don’t worry.”
Even though Zheng Lingling claimed that she was fine, there was a frightful red mark on her wrist.
Zheng Xianjing said, “I’ll go get the burn ointment.”
“No need,” Zheng Lingling laughed, “surely a wound this small doesn’t need burn ointment?”
“Suyu!” Mrs. Zheng looked sternly at the person who caused the chicken soup to be spilled.
“Sister, that was fun!” Zheng Suyu didn’t realize her mistake, her eyes were sparkling with excited laughter.
