Chapter 1098: Chapter 1140: Throw Them Out

"Mom, let me help you!" Seeing Ling’s mother gradually move downward, the older sister quickly ran over to help.

Ling Yueyue’s other hand, which wasn’t held by her mother, was immediately grabbed by the older sister!

Seeing that both of her hands were held, Ling Yueyue’s face instantly turned cold, and she shouted sternly, "Let go of me! Or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Ling’s mother insisted without relenting, "I’ve raised you for twenty years; living a good life with you is perfectly justified! No one has the right to say I’m wrong! I’m telling you, if you dare to kick us out, I will die at your doorstep, and even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!"

After hearing her mother’s words, Ling Yueyue merely raised her eyebrows dismissively, glanced at her wrists being squeezed, and decided not to waste any more time with them. She shouted loudly into the house, "Butler, have them thrown out!"

If it were before, when she wasn’t pregnant, she sure wouldn’t be so soft-hearted! Now, it’s for the sake of the child that she doesn’t want to bother with them; she doesn’t want to harm the baby in her belly because of them.

The butler heard Ling Yueyue’s instructions and quickly summoned a few servants to forcibly pull Ling’s mother and the older sister away from her.

Looking at her wrists, which were pinched red, the anger in Ling Yueyue’s heart surged up, and she shouted loudly, "Throw them out, then shut the door. Without my orders, they’re not allowed to come in!"

"Yes!" The servants received the order and quickly rushed in, dragging Ling’s father and the family of four towards the outside! For those like Ling’s mother and the older sister, who are stubborn and can’t be pushed, they could only be carried out.

Until the figures of Ling’s mother and the older sister completely disappeared from the main house, Ling’s mother’s sharp curses could still be heard, "Ling Yueyue, you are heartless, you ungrateful creature. Raising a dog would have been better than raising you; I painstakingly carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, and you are just a heartless wretch. A disobedient daughter like you will not die a good death, may lightning strike you! I curse your child to die in the womb, to bear sons without..."

Listening to Ling’s mother’s curses, Ling Yueyue suddenly felt that what she did earlier was right!

A person who curses even their own grandchild—she has no feelings to spare for them! From now on, she just wants to draw a line and be as far away from them as possible!

"Madam, are you okay? Should I apply medicine for you, or call the family doctor?" The butler stood beside Ling Yueyue, looking at her red wrists, his eyes full of guilt.

During the confrontation between the madam and the mother-in-law earlier, as a servant, he was not in a position to intervene, so he simply stood by and watched over the madam in silence! He thought that, after all, the mother-in-law was the madam’s biological mother, and wouldn’t really harm her! Unexpectedly, they were so ruthless, squeezing the madam’s wrists until they were swollen! Had he known earlier, he would have stepped in!

"It’s nothing; it’s just a bit sore, it’ll be fine soon! Guard here, I’ll go upstairs to find my husband!" With that, she ignored how the expelled Ling family was doing and headed upstairs!

Upstairs, Ling Yueyue didn’t see Huo Junmo in the master bedroom and directly went to the study to look! As she pushed open the study door, Huo Junmo was facing away from the door, talking on the phone!

Upon hearing the door open, Huo Junmo turned around to take a look. Seeing it was Ling Yueyue, he smiled at her and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone, "I’ll discuss everything once I return to the company; I’m heading there now!"

Ling Yueyue walked over, asking concernedly, "What’s the matter? Is something wrong at the company?"

"Mm! There’s an important meeting that requires me to chair!" Huo Junmo nodded, pulling Ling Yueyue’s hand gently and asking tenderly, "How are your dad and mom? I heard some noise downstairs; are you all right?"

Ling Yueyue responded indifferently, "It’s nothing; I had the butler kick them out! Without my orders, they’re not allowed in!"

Huo Junmo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Kicked them out?"

"Yes!" Ling Yueyue nodded, carefully observing Huo Junmo’s handsome face, and asked tentatively, "Do you think I’m heartless for treating my family like this?"

Huo Junmo laughed, shaking his head, "There are always reasons for everything; I know you’re a kind-hearted woman. You must have your reasons for doing this! I respect everything you do!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue smiled broadly and sweetly said, "I knew it; you’re the most reasonable and kind person to me!"

"You!" Looking at her carefree demeanor, Huo Junmo couldn’t help but lightly touch her petite nose, "I’m going to the company now; are you coming with me, or staying home to wait?"

Without thinking, Ling Yueyue said, "Of course, I’m going with you! Although the company is boring, at least I have you by my side to keep me company, and I can smell your scent! Staying home is too boring; I’m going crazy from the boredom!"

"Alright! Then go change, and we’ll head out together!" Huo Junmo nodded, ready to lead Ling Yueyue back to the room, but then caught sight of the red marks on her arm unintentionally and paused slightly, gently holding her wrist, and asked worriedly, "What happened to your hand? Why is it so red?"

Ling Yueyue withdrew her hand from his grip, touched her red and swollen wrist, and laughed, "Oh, it’s nothing; it doesn’t really hurt. It’s just that mom grabbed me earlier, and with my delicate skin, it looks particularly red. It’ll be fine soon."

Huo Junmo furrowed his brows, concerned, "Let me apply some medicine for you!"

"I’m pregnant now, I can’t use medication. I’ll just put some toothpaste on it!" Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Huo Junmo, teasingly saying, "Look at you being so nervous! You’re a corporate president but have such a poor capacity to handle stress!"

Huo Junmo couldn’t help but gently tap Ling Yueyue on the forehead, "You little rascal, I care about you, and you say things like that! My nervousness is only for you! If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even pay attention!"

Ling Yueyue rubbed the spot Huo Junmo tapped; although it didn’t hurt, she puckered her lips and feigned anger, "I was just joking! Why hit me? It hurts!"

As soon as Ling Yueyue finished speaking, Huo Junmo suddenly reached out, cupping her little face, and kissed the spot he tapped before, asking softly, "How is it now? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt! It doesn’t hurt!" Ling Yueyue shook her head vigorously, her smile incredibly sweet.

"Come on, go change clothes and accompany me to the company!" Huo Junmo smiled warmly, holding Ling Yueyue’s hand as they left the study.
