Chapter 293: 102: Popular Ice-Skin Jade-Skin, Sun Dalian’s Unknown Past_3
“Madam, you called for me.”
Zheng Lingling stood up with a smile, “Uncle Liu, you don’t need to be so formal with me, please, have a seat.”
Strictly speaking, Butler Liu could be considered someone who watched Zheng Lingling grow up, hence it was appropriate for her to address him as Uncle Liu. However, Butler Liu stood upright, “Madam, without rules, things will not stand. It’s not right for me to sit.”
Butler Liu was a very loyal person, but also had a peculiar temper. In his mind, a master was a master, and a servant was a servant. Where was the reason for a servant to sit with his master?
Butler Liu’s loyalty seemed to be seen differently through Zheng Lingling’s eyes.
She thought that Butler Liu was deliberately showing his displeasure to her because of his long tenure at the Zheng family, thus the refusal to sit.
After all, she was only the adopted daughter of the Zheng family, from the elders to even the most ordinary servants, none of them ever took her seriously.
How infuriating!
Zheng Lingling suppressed the anger in her heart, deliberately probing, “Uncle Liu, the matter my mother asked you to investigate some time ago, how are things going?”
Butler Liu asked in surprise, “The old lady hasn’t asked me to investigate anything recently!”
Zheng Lingling laughed, “Uncle Liu, there’s no need to hide it from me. We are all family members. I also very much hope to find Tingting. As I watch my mother lose weight day by day, my heart aches too. In this house, I much more than anyone else hope to find Tingting. Please tell me honestly, do you have any news about Tingting? It would be better for me to have some certainty, rather than being blindly anxious…”
Zheng Lingling’s words were moving, and her eyes even began to redden, looking every bit the good daughter and good sister.
Butler Liu, having the ability to be a butler, was not a pushover. He didn’t reveal any emotions, “Miss Tingting has been missing for 34 years, and the old lady has been looking for her for 34 years. But after all these years, there has been no news. The old lady has actually given up hope a long time ago…”
Zheng Lingling wiped her tears, “Uncle Liu, did my mother really not ask you to look for Tingting?”
“Really not.”
Zheng Tingting continued, “After so many years, my mother has only me as her child by her side. I don’t know if she would want to adopt another child. If she does, I have a suitable candidate.”
Butler Liu glanced at Zheng Tingting, “Madam, you jest. Miss Sun is already nineteen years old. How could the old lady still adopt children?”
Zheng Lingling separated from Butler Liu, realizing she wouldn’t get any information from him, so didn’t say much more.
Butler Liu then said, “Madam, if there’s nothing else, I will take my leave.”
Zheng Lingling nodded, “Please, take your time Uncle Liu.”
Butler Liu turned and left.
Zheng Lingling watched Butler Liu’s retreating figure, a malicious gleam in her eyes.
“Mom, do you think we’re overthinking?” Zheng Xianjing came over from behind.
Zheng Lingling curled her lips, “That old man is just stubborn!”
“Mom,” Zheng Xianjing squinted her eyes, “What do you mean by that?”
Zheng Lingling didn’t directly respond to Zheng Xianjing’s question, instead she said, “Go, call Xiaoliu over.”
Xiaoliu was Bulter Liu’s son.
Despite being wise his entire life, his son was not half as smart as he was.
Zheng Xianjing glanced at her watch, “Mom, I don’t have time, you can tell Ms. Li to call him.” As she finished, Zheng Xianjing picked up her bag from the sofa and quickly walked outside.
“Xianjing, where are you going!” Zheng Lingling stood from the sofa, looking seriously at Zheng Xianjing.
Zheng Xianjing turned her head, “I am just going out for some fun, Mom, what is it?”
Zheng Lingling asked with a frown, “Are you going to see that worthless sixth son of the Mo Family again?”
Zheng Xianjing said quietly, “Mom, what are you thinking about! How could I possibly go and see that waste! Last time I was blind enough to mistake fish eyes for pearls, don’t worry Mom. There won’t be such a situation again!”
Zheng Lingling asked doubtfully, “Is that true?” novelbuddy.cσ๓
“Of course it’s true!” Zheng Xianjing nodded, and then said, “Mom, I now have a new goal, and I am determined to find you a son-in-law who’s not a disgrace!”
“Who?” Zheng Lingling asked.
Zheng Xianjing said, “Mr. Mog.”
Mr. Mog?
Zheng Lingling was startled, she walked over to Zheng Xianjing, and said with a mixture of surprise and happiness, “Xianjing, if you could actually catch Mr. Mog’s eye, that would really bring honor to me!”
Zheng Xianjing confidently said, “Mom, don’t worry, I assure you, I won’t let you down!”
