Chapter 16: Someone is eavesdropping

Tang Yuan held back his smile. Cough, cough, what a coincidence. The desk was delivered just as he was about to say something.

"Little Tang Yuan, you're laughing. You can laugh openly, I won't do anything to you." At most, she would just throw him into the water and boil him.

"Lord Jue, I'm really not gloating."

"Stupid Gu." The smile was still as low as before.

Ling Jue chuckled and walked to the door. She opened the door and let the people in. She crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, looking at them indifferently.

Those people put down a desk, and people came in one after another. They installed the computers and other things.

Finally, a pile of new books came in.

"I bought you the questions for the middle school exam. Take a look at them tonight. Study hard at home tomorrow. The exam is the day after tomorrow. Behave yourself." Ling Zhensheng looked at her with a warning after the installation workers left.

"Oh," Ling Jue said lightly.

"I have to finish these two books." He pointed at the two books on the table and looked at him seriously. "These are the teaching plans that will be drawn every year."

"May I ask, dear father?" Ling Jue smiled sarcastically as her eyes swept across his face. "I'm very curious. Do you want me to get into Molk, or do you want me to stay in your Ling family's Household Register?"

"You still want to get into Molk?" Ling Zhensheng looked at him with some disdain as he walked around his room "We had an agreement back then. As long as you get into city no. 1 High School, I will agree to let you get into the Ling family's household register. If you don't get in, I will let you become a boarder. Your Household Register will still be with your mother."

"What if I manage to get into Molk?" Ling Jue said with a faint smile, her eyes filled with confidence.

"If you manage to get into Molk, not only will I let your name appear in the Ling family's household register, you can also make any request you want. If it makes sense, I will agree to it."

"Alright." Ling Jue smiled after obtaining his agreement. She still had the same cynical look, but her eyes were filled with determination.

Ling Zhensheng glanced at her indifferently. "Your personality is so similar to your mother's."

"I haven't had a mother since the day she sent me here." Ling Jue shrugged nonchalantly and opened the door. "You can leave now. I need to rest."

"She has her reasons." Ling Zhensheng frowned slightly when he saw her expression. "You're not young anymore. You need to be sensible and understand her."

"Are you leaving or not?" Ling Jue was annoyed by his nagging. He only dared to mention that woman in front of her. If it was in front of Mu Xueling, he would not dare to say a single word.

Being nice to her could hurt her. She did not know what use this father of hers was.

"Lord Jue, someone is eavesdropping at the door." Suddenly, Tang Yuan's voice entered her mind.

Ling Jue's eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips curled into a smile. She raised her head to look at Ling Zhensheng, and her voice was a little gentle. "Father, I want to ask you a question."

"Hmm?" Ling Zhensheng was about to walk out, but he saw her sudden intimacy.

"Do you really care about me?"

"You're my son! Of course I have to take care of you!"

"What about my mother? What do you take her for?" Ling Jue's voice was a little low. "She always said that you would come back to look for her. She waited for so many years, but you never came back. And now you're leaving me here all alone and ignoring me. I do hate her, but she's my biological mother. Since you care about me as your son, do you care more about her?"
