His Majesty is Scheming - C201

After exiting the treatment room, Ling Mengzhu had already finished her call, and her expression was somewhat uneasy. She came up to him and sized him up with a smile: “How is it? The doctor said your wound is all right?

“It’s pretty good.” Long Zheng glanced at her and asked, “Who are you talking to?”

It was indeed a superfluous question, and he asked it without thinking, only because he saw the discomfort on her face. Ling Mengzhu walked with him to the entrance of the hospital as she hesitantly replied, “It’s my mother.”

“Your mother? Are your parents still here? ” It was still a question without any hesitation. After asking it, even Long Zhenghao felt dizzy and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to curse your parents. I was just asking out of curiosity.”

Ling Mengzhu, on the other hand, did not care and said, “My dad is no longer here, but my mom is still here. She lives alone in the countryside.”

“Oh.” Long Zhenghao nodded and his thoughts went out into space again. Lin Mufan’s parents were no longer present. They had left this world at almost the same time as her. The woman in front of him only looked like her.

After getting into the car, Ling Mengzhu leaned against the back of the chair and stole a glance at him. After hesitating for a long time, she carefully opened her mouth and asked, “Mr Long, can I discuss something with you?”

“What is it? Tell me.” Long Zhenghao calmly replied.

There was another moment of hesitation. “My old hometown house collapsed. My mom has nowhere to stay. I want to bring her here …”

The car suddenly came to a screeching halt by the side of the road. Ling Mengzhu almost ran head first into the windscreen in front of her, scaring her so much so that she held her chest, which was jumping up and down. She said exasperatedly, “Hey! What’s wrong with you? Why are you suddenly in such a rush? ”

“I don’t agree.” Long Zhenghao spat out each word as he coldly looked at her.

Ling Mengzhu was stunned for a moment. She had thought that he would refuse her, but she hadn’t expected him to reject her so cleanly. He looked at Long Hao Chen pleadingly and said: “Mr. Long, don’t worry, I will let my mother sleep in the same room with me. I guarantee that I won’t let her take even half a step outside of the Thunder Pond. Furthermore, my mother’s cooking skills are quite good.

“No need, I don’t like people doing these things for me.” Long Zhenghao started the car, and the expression on his face didn’t change at all. In the past year or two, he’d gotten used to doing these things himself, except of course for cooking.

“But I’ve already called my mother over. I can’t possibly go outside and find her a room, can I? You know, I don’t have any money. ” This time, Long Zheng was speechless. He knew that she had no money, and the person without any money was the biggest!

Seeing that he did not say anything, Ling Mengzhu gritted her teeth. No matter what, she would just treat it as compensation for taking care of him these days.

She couldn’t just ignore the life and death of Madam Ling. After all, she was her savior. If she had the ability, she would have bought a room for Old Madam Ling to stay in. Unfortunately, she didn’t have the ability.

The whole way back to the West Sea District, Long Zhenghao drove the car downstairs and said to her indifferently, “Get off.”

Ling Meng Zhu was startled, then sized him up and asked: “What are you doing? Aren’t you going back? ”

“I have something to do, get off.” Unceremoniously giving out an order, Ling Mengzhu originally wanted to advise him to go home and have a good rest. Seeing his vile tone, she decided that she didn’t want to bother with him anymore. She pushed open the car door and went home.

Mrs. Ling arrived the next day. Because the train stopped at eight in the evening, Ling Mengzhu worked overtime at the company until half past seven before she went to pick up the train. Luckily, they were able to successfully connect to the station. With a single glance, they saw Mrs. Ling walking out from inside with large and small bags in her hands.

Having not seen her for almost half a year, Ling Mengzhu happily welcomed her and mentioned the big and small bag in Madam Ling’s hands as she asked, “Mom, didn’t I tell you not to bring anything over? Why are they carrying so many bags? What are those heavy bags? ”

“Nothing, the dates at home are just ripe, so I brought some over. Sigh …” “It’s a pity that the neighbors took the rest.” Old Madam Ling shook her head in regret. Her heart felt as painful as if it had been cut open.

Ling Mengzhu smiled and comforted her, “Since you don’t like to eat it, just let them pick it. It will grow back next year.”

“Yes, that’s true.” Mrs. Ling finally figured it out and the two of them walked quickly to the taxi stand.

When Ling Mengzhu brought Madam Ling home, Long Zhenghao happened to be at home. She quickly pulled the door open and said to Madam Ling in a low voice, “Mom, this friend of mine is a bit psychopathic. He’s very rude to others. Just pretend he doesn’t exist. ”

“Is it that scary? “Alright, I will definitely ignore him.” Mrs. Ling nodded solemnly and promised.

Only then did Ling Mengzhu open the door and enter the living room while dragging a big and small bag. She smiled at Long Zhenghao who was sitting in the living room watching TV and said, “Mr. Long, this is my mother. This is Mr. Long.” When she turned around to say the latter half of the sentence, she realized that Mrs. Ling wasn’t listening to her at all. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was wide open.

“Mom …” What are you doing? ” Ling Mengzhan lowered her voice and gave her a push.

“This room is so beautiful, it looks like a palace.” Mrs. Ling, who had never seen the world, was attracted by the exquisite and luxurious decorations the moment she entered the door. Her expression was so exaggerated as if it was really the palace.

“Mom, this is the owner of the house, Mr. Long.” After Ling Mengzhu had explained it all over again, Madam Ling’s gaze finally shifted from the ‘beautiful scenery’ to Long Zhenghao. He walked over with a smile and said, “Hello Mister Long. Will I disturb you?”

Long Zhenghao looked up and saw that he was at a loss. His muddy shoes stepped on the fluffy carpet and he frowned. He forced a smile and said, “I won’t disturb you.”

“It’s good as long as you don’t disturb me. Oh right, I brought some dates from home, it’s so sweet. Beads, quickly bring some for them.” Mrs. Ling picked up the woven bag and placed it on the table. A layer of dust immediately fell from the transparent glass table. Mrs. Ling did not pay any attention to this. She took out a handful of dates and placed them on the table, mixing them with the layer of dust.

Ling Mengzhu knew that Long Zhenghao loved to be clean, and also felt his displeasure. She hurriedly walked over and held onto Madam Ling’s arm, “Mum, Mr Long doesn’t like dates, don’t take them. Let’s talk after you carry the things into the room.”

Oh, don’t you like it?” “What a pity, such a sweet jujube.” Madam Ling felt a little regretful. Ling Mengzhu didn’t seem to care at all as she picked up a few large bags and walked inside the house. He stacked them in a corner, then took them out and took out a fruit dish. He placed the dates on the table, wiped it clean, and took them into the kitchen to wash.

She first stuffed one into her mouth and chewed it. It was indeed very sweet. As he ate, he placed the washed dates in front of Long Zhenghao and smiled, “These dates are indeed quite sweet. You’ll know after you try a few.”

“No need, you guys take your time. I’ll go up to rest first.” Long Zhenghao stood up from the sofa and walked upstairs.

As he went upstairs, he could faintly hear the mother and daughter pair’s voices behind him, “Oh, Zhu Zhu Zhu, why is he not saying anything? Do you not welcome me? “If you don’t like it, I’ll go back to my hometown.”

“No, Mom, didn’t I tell you? There’s something wrong with his mind. You can just treat him as transparent. ” This was the voice of Ling Meng Zhu. Was there a problem in his heart? Long Zhenghao was enraged. This woman did not want to live anymore!

“Wow, this TV is so big, it’s like it’s being shown on a movie.”

“Mom, this is a 48 inch LCD.”

“There are so many rooms, why do we have to squeeze into one?”

“Because I only rented this room. Mom, it’s getting late. Hurry up and wash up.”

“Wah!” What was outside? The sea? ”

“Yes …”

Sitting in the study room, Long Zhenghao had been listening to the screams the whole night. He didn’t like to be disturbed, so he naturally didn’t feel good about two people living here all of a sudden.

Was this the mother that Ling Meng Zhu had spoken of? He admitted that he still had a little anticipation to see her. Why would he have such thoughts? Maybe it was because of her. His palm gently brushed across the photo frame on the table, then froze on the spot with a smile.

The next morning, when Long Zhenghao finished washing up and went downstairs, the first thing he smelled was the fragrant breakfast. Then he saw Mrs. Ling sitting on her knees in front of the TV, studying the situation with the controller in her hand, as if she was trying to figure out how to turn it on.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs, Mrs. Ling put the controller back on the TV cabinet and said with a dry laugh, “Mr. Long, I will do some research and won’t really open it. Bead told me not to switch it on.”

“It’s fine. Just drive.” Long Zhenghao walked into the living room and turned on the TV. Although he didn’t welcome outsiders, he wasn’t so bad that he couldn’t even let the old lady watch TV, so he helped her turn it on.

Mrs. Ling’s face was full of smiles as she said, “Zhu Zhu, you said it was very hard to talk. It’s not like what he said.” “Oh, right, Mr. Long, breakfast has been prepared. Hearing Zhu Zhu Zhu say that you have just suffered from external injuries, I will cook some rice porridge for you since it is good for your wounds. You should hurry up and eat it while it is still warm.”

Long Zhenghao glanced at the porridge on the table. It turned out to be rice porridge. No wonder it was so fragrant.

Ling Mengzhu had started work early and was quite a distance away. Usually, she would never make breakfast, so naturally, he wouldn’t be able to get his hands on it. It was rare for them to have breakfast together like this, which made him a little unaccustomed to it.

“Go, it’s very clean.” Madam Ling urged him. She had heard from Ling Mengzhu that Long Zhenghao loved cleanliness, so she had specifically reiterated the phrase ‘very cleanliness’. He was afraid that Long Zhenghao would not dare to eat because he thought he was unclean.

Long Zhenghao nodded as he walked over. He picked up the bowl and took a few bites. The taste was pretty good.

When he finished eating, he went to work. On his way out, he told Mrs. Ling about some of the safety precautions she needed to take, including the one about not letting strangers in. His possessions weren’t cheap at all. If they were emptied out, the losses would be very heavy.
