Chapter 1141: Chapter 1183: Escaped

Ling Yueyue looked at Ling Shenglan, after seeing Ling Shenglan’s reaction today and hearing what she said just now, her attitude and feelings towards her improved bit by bit.

At least, she truly felt her aunt’s care and concern for her now!

Thinking of this, Ling Yueyue smiled and said, "Aunt, just let it go! Huo Junmo is right, since things are in the past, let them stay there! Consider this one million as a complete severance of family ties between us. Since they care so much about money, let them live with it for the rest of their lives, I’ll enjoy my peace and freedom!"

"I... I...!" Ling Shenglan wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed back!

The situation has reached this point, and no matter how much she says now, it is already irreparable! The only thing she could do was find a way to get the money back for Yueyue!

She absolutely would not allow them to take advantage of Yueyue in the slightest! Why should her daughter be squeezed and demanded in such a way by them?

Seeing Ling Shenglan too angry to eat, Ling Yueyue felt uneasy and consoled her, saying, "Let it go, let’s have breakfast! You know my parents’ character well, after all, during the fifteen years I spent living with you, they still provided our living expenses on time every month! If it weren’t for those living expenses, I wouldn’t have survived until now! So, giving them money, repaying them for bringing me into this world and raising me, is only right!"

"I... I...!" Ling Shenglan wanted to speak, to tell Ling Yueyue that they never bore her, nor raised her! It was she, Ling Shenglan, who gave birth to and raised her!

But when the words reached her mouth, she forcefully suppressed them!

Seeing Ling Shenglan fumbling, Ling Yueyue didn’t mind, took Tiantian from Ling Shenglan’s arms and handed her to the nanny nearby, smiling, "Aunt, let’s have breakfast first! There’s no need to be angry for them; it’s not worth hurting your health! Come on! Let’s have breakfast together, don’t leave an empty stomach!" With that, she actively held Ling Shenglan’s hand and walked with her towards the restroom.

This was the first time since their recent meetings that Ling Yueyue actively approached Ling Shenglan!

The originally very angry Ling Shenglan had her fury instantly vanish the moment Ling Yueyue touched her hand! Her facial expression made an instant 180-degree turn, smiling happily as she followed Ling Yueyue to the restroom.

Huo Junmo sat on the sofa, watching Ling Yueyue and Ling Shenglan’s departing backs, his deep eyes glowed with amusement, and then he stood up, joined them to wash hands in the restroom, and went to the dining room to eat.

After breakfast, Ling Shenglan took Tiantian to play in the garden outside!

Tiantian, who usually didn’t like being touched by strangers, surprisingly liked Ling Shenglan very much. Even when being held alone by Ling Shenglan without seeing her family, she didn’t cry but rather enjoyed playing with Ling Shenglan.

Close to noon, after Tiantian drank her milk, she was carried upstairs by the nanny to sleep!

After having lunch at the Huo Family Villa, Ling Shenglan left! Though reluctant and wishing to stay longer to keep Ling Yueyue company, she knew that one should not rush things but rather take them step by step!

Despite Huo Junmo’s many attempts to persuade her to stay, she still left!

Similarly, Huo Junmo also had the driver Lao Liu escort Ling Shenglan away!

After holding back for most of the day, the first thing Ling Shenglan did upon returning to the hotel was knock on the door of Ling’s father’s room next door!

She sought to inquire about the whereabouts of the ten million, and what the one million was about! How could they be so shameless!

But after knocking for a long time, there was no response inside!

When knocking did not yield a response, Ling Shenglan took out her phone to call Ling’s father! But, although the call went through, no one answered!

Ling Shenglan called three times in a row, seeing Ling’s father not pick up, an ominous feeling began to rise within her! After knocking for a while without any response, Ling Shenglan decisively went downstairs to the service desk to find a hotel attendant.

After listening to Ling Shenglan’s description, the attendant, worried that something might have happened to Ling’s father in the room, hurriedly took his room card and went upstairs with Ling Shenglan to open the door!

When the room door opened, Ling Shenglan looked around inside and outside, not only did she not see Ling’s father, but even the bag Ling’s father had brought was nowhere to be found!

Given the situation, although Ling Shenglan already guessed something, unwillingly she took out her phone to call Ling’s father once more!

As before, the call went through, but no one answered! With Ling’s father not answering, Ling Shenglan repeatedly called!

Ling Shenglan called five times in succession, none answered by Ling’s father! Adding today and previously, she had called Ling’s father a total of eight times, none answered! This only further confirmed her suspicions!

It seemed her brother had fled! Not wanting to account for his debts, or repay the money, thus choosing to escape, even refusing to take her calls, seemingly intending to completely sever ties, and never acknowledging her as his sister again!

Thinking about this, Ling Shenglan’s anger surged, "Bring up yesterday’s videos to let me see, the room’s unoccupied, I have reason to suspect it’s an attempt to evade payment, or something unfortunate might’ve occurred!"

To have the hotel staff bring up the videos, Ling Shenglan had to say so.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, the attendant nodded hurriedly saying, "Please wait a moment, I’ll report the situation to the manager and see his decision! Even extracting the videos is beyond our authority!"

"Alright! I’ll go downstairs with you!" Ling Shenglan nodded, following the attendant to the service desk.

After reaching the service desk, the attendant immediately called the hotel manager, explaining the entire situation in detail.

Soon, the manager appeared in the hotel lobby!

Upon arriving, the manager began asking Ling Shenglan for details, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Ling? May I ask what’s your relationship with the guest next door?"

Ling Shenglan said, "He’s my brother, we met yesterday afternoon, but after I returned just now, no one responded when I knocked. So I had the attendant open the door, finding no one inside! I called him but he’s not answering. I’m unsure of his situation, hence I earnestly request the hotel show the surveillance video following our conversation on the corridor yesterday to find out what happened!"

The hotel manager replied earnestly, "Do you have evidence to prove you’re siblings? You must understand, this involves guest privacy, under usual circumstances, we have no authority to inquire about their whereabouts!"
