Soon, under Ling’er’s repeated "entanglements," Ling Feng had no choice but to visit her home for a short while.
From the size of this mansion and its various gardens, artificial hills, paintings, and porcelain, Ling Feng could roughly discern the wealth of the Lin Family. However, unlike the imposing aura exuding from every corner of the General Mansion, it carried a whiff of merchant’s air.
Lin Moyao instructed the servants to prepare tea and refreshments, and they chatted casually for a moment, mostly expressing words of thanks.
However, it was Ling’er, the curious little girl, who truly loved gossip. One moment she would ask if brother already knew little aunt from before?
Then the next moment she would ask why little aunt’s face was always red?
The situation became extremely awkward!
Lin Moyao glared fiercely at the little girl, feeling an urge to sew her little mouth shut.
Finally, the entrance of an older butler dissolved the increasingly awkward atmosphere.
"Miss, it’s terrible! The lady has been cornered by Boss Sun in the casino!" The old butler, with a look of urgency, exclaimed, "Miss, you need to hurry and see!"
"What?" Lin Moyao jumped up, enraged, "How dare he, Sun Tianba, act so arrogantly?"
"The old servant heard that Boss Sun brought a gambling expert to our casino, who has been winning continuously for three days and nights!"
The old butler said angrily, "When the lady found out, she personally went to drive away those wreaking havoc, but she was blocked inside by Boss Sun’s men, and it’s been a stalemate for half the day!"
"This is outrageous!" Lin Moyao, with her eyebrows deeply furrowed, slammed the table and said resentfully, "That Sun Tianba really thinks our Lin family has no one left?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Moyao calmed herself slightly and turned to the two maids, instructing, "Cui’er, Bi’er, take Ling’er back to her room to rest, and watch her closely!"
"Yes!" The two maids stepped forward to carry Ling’er down, but the little girl refused to cooperate and clung to Lin Moyao’s arm, asking, "Little aunt, what exactly is happening? Is something wrong with mother?"
"No, how could that be." Lin Moyao squatted down, pinched Ling’er’s little cheek, "Your mother is very capable, nothing will happen."
"Hmph, you’re lying, I don’t believe you!" Ling’er suddenly burst into tears, wailing, "I want to see mother, sob sob..."
Ling Feng shook his head, sighed, and stood up from his seat. He walked over to Ling’er and smiled, saying, "You don’t believe what little aunt says, but do you believe what big brother says?"
Ling’er blinked her bright big eyes, looked at Ling Feng, and nodded determinedly.
"Then big brother tells you, your mother will surely be fine." Ling Feng gently scraped Ling’er’s little nose, smiling, "But now it’s getting late, and if Ling’er doesn’t rest well, she might not grow up."
Ling’er was indeed frightened by the dreadful idea of "not growing up," and finally, she obediently let the maids take her down to sleep. As she left, she asked Ling Feng like a little adult, "Big brother, when I wake up tomorrow, will I see mother?"
"You will." Ling Feng nodded and touched her little head.
"Then we need to make a pinky promise!"
"Alright, pinky promise." Ling Feng extended his hand and did a pinky promise with the little girl, and with this, the little girl finally settled down.
Seeing Ling’er taken back to her room, Lin Moyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Ling Feng, smiling bitterly, "Young Master Ling, you indeed have a way."
"Let’s go." Ling Feng just shook his head with a smile, uttering a sentence that left Lin Moyao somewhat puzzled.
"Leave?" Lin Moyao stared blankly, "Young Master Ling, what do you mean by that?"
"To fulfill the promise I made to Ling’er." Ling Feng extended his pinky finger and said lightly, "Tomorrow morning, Ling’er will surely see her mother, won’t she?"
"Ah!" Lin Moyao finally understood what Ling Feng meant and nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Young Master Ling."
Ling Feng pursed his lips and said no more.
Firstly, having encountered this matter, he naturally could not stand idly by. Secondly, when the old steward mentioned the word "Casino," Ling Feng was already certain that this was the Lin Family, Lin Mochen’s family.
Lin Moyao’s sister, naturally, was Lin Mochen’s sister as well.
