Chapter 275: She was getting more and more suspicious...

Machine Translation

Ling Jue returned to her own home. She had not been home for half a month. The house was covered in dust, so she had to clean it up herself.

It was already dark after she finished cleaning. She curled up on the sofa and played with her phone. The television was on, and Tang Yuan was scrolling through Weibo. Its little paws were tugging on its phone as it looked at the jokes, rolling around in laughter.

Ling Jue ignored it. This idiot.

Tang Yuan was watching the joke when he suddenly raised its head and said excitedly to Lord Jue, "Lord Jue, why don't we get a husky? I think this dog is fun. Let's also get an orange cat."

Ling Jue did not even raise her head. She said flatly, "I can't afford it."

"..."

Tang Yuan pursed its lips. Lord Jue must be lazy.

"It's already troublesome to raise you. If I get cats and dogs, I'll have to help them clean up their sh*t."

"..." Tang Yuan was hurt. In other words, if it also took a sh*t, Lord Jue would not raise it.

Ding dong!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Ling Jue stood up to open the door. She looked through the peephole and saw that the person standing outside was Ling Zhensheng.

"Tsk, tsk. You're really well-informed." Ling Jue opened the door. Ling Zhensheng looked up in surprise. "Xiao Jue."

"Come in."

Ling Jue noticed that he had lost a lot of weight. There were many wrinkles on his face, and his hair had turned white. He looked like he had aged dozens of years.

"Xiao Jue..." He walked in with a sigh and closed the door behind him.

Ling Jue was sitting on another sofa. Tang Yuan had turned invisible when he came in. It was squatting on Lord Jue's shoulder and looking at Ling Zhensheng with a confused expression.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ling Zhensheng hesitated for a moment and sighed. "Xiao Jue, your Aunt Xue Ling is dying. She wants you to meet her. I don't have your number, and you've been away, so I could only ask the security guard at the door to inform me immediately if you come back. That's why I rushed over."

"Dying? Did too many bad things? She's going to get her comeuppance, isn't she?" Ling Jue sneered. Of course, she knew what was going on.

That woman must have been tortured to death by Xiao Bai.

She knew how powerful Xiao Bai was.

Ling Zhensheng scratched his head in embarrassment. "It's strange. The doctor took out a long worm the length of an index finger from your Aunt Xue Ling's leg. It was black and extremely terrifying. The doctor killed it on the spot."

"Oh."

Ling Jue chuckled. How could they kill Xiao Bai? It must be waiting for Tang Yuan to come back.

"Xiao Jue, your aunt said that before she died, she only wanted to see you. That's why she held on until now. She wanted to apologize to you and ask you to see her."

"So what if she does?" Ling Jue smiled sarcastically. "Why didn't you let me go back then? This is hilarious."

"Xiao Jue, she already told me about that. I understand that it's my fault. I let her down back then, and I let your mother down." Ling Zhensheng sighed. "Now, I only hope that you can fulfill her last wish."

He did not expect Xue Ling, who was always kind, to do such a thing.

However, when she cried and complained to him, he knew that everything was his fault. He had harmed two women.

"You want me to visit her? Sure." Ling Jue suddenly smiled.

"Then let's go now." Ling Zhensheng stood up in surprise.

"But you have to tell me. What happened between you and my mother?!" Ling Jue did not believe that everything was so simple. She began to doubt that she was not Ling Zhensheng's child.
