His Majesty is Scheming - C204
Sure enough, Mrs Ling unceremoniously bought a bunch of dishes. Ling Mengzhu ran in to help, while Hu Chang and Wang Xiang were nibbling on melon seeds in the living room to watch the entertainment. From time to time, they would laugh like ghosts.
Long Zhenghao had long gone upstairs to do his own thing and couldn’t bear it any longer. He had to keep him with a bunch of women … It was too difficult!
While picking the vegetables, Ling Mengzhu looked up at Madam Ling and asked, “Mom, did you really run over to find Long Zhenghao to reimburse him?”
“He threw it to me.” After Mrs. Ling finished speaking, she suddenly looked at her with a warm gaze as she chuckled, “Dreamball, what you said just now couldn’t be true, right? You and Mr. Long have already… “Uh, so what?”
“What? Mom, do you think it’s possible?” Ling Mengzhu rolled her eyes in annoyance. She did not expect that Madam Ling would actually take her words seriously. She had truly been led astray by those two women. Just thinking about it made her want to destroy them.
Mrs. Ling leered at her distrustfully. “Then why did you say that just now?”
“Mm …” Mom, let me tell you the truth, you don’t have to panic, okay? ” Ling Mengzhu hesitated for a moment before she spoke, her expression turning serious as she put down the work in her hands and looked at Madam Ling.
Mrs. Ling rolled her eyes in annoyance. She picked up her plate and prepared to scoop up the dishes, saying, “I’m not flustered. What’s there to be flustered about?”
“I found out something. Long Zhenghao is my ex-husband, and we were husband and wife before the accident.” Ling Mengzhu lowered her voice to a very low pitch. On one hand, she didn’t want others to hear her; on the other hand, she was afraid of scaring Mrs. Ling.
It was a pity that even though she was considerate enough, Mrs. Ling still let go of the plate in fright. With a ‘dang’ sound, the dish was drunk all over the floor. This sound startled Ling Meng Pearl for a moment, and also attracted the two women outside.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. I accidentally broke a plate. Hurry up and watch TV.” Ling Mengzhu pushed Hu Chang and Wang Xiang towards the kitchen door. After pushing them away, he turned around and glared at Madam Ling. “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t be flustered? “Look at yourself, hurry up and come back to your senses.”
As she said that, she reached out her hand to push the dumbstruck Madam Ling. Finally, she responded and muttered to herself, “If you want me to calm down, then don’t let such a frightening thing happen to me!” He was your ex-husband? “ex-husband …?”
“Mom, lower your voice, don’t let anyone outside hear you.” Ling Mengzhu hurriedly interrupted her, she was starting to regret divulging this secret. If it wasn’t for the fact that she wanted to learn more about her past from Mrs. Ling, she definitely wouldn’t have told her about it, because there was no need to. Even Long Zhenghao himself didn’t intend to tell her about it.
Suddenly, Mrs. Ling raised her eyes and stared at her with a serious expression as she anxiously asked, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, was what you said true? Is Mr. Long really your ex-husband? How do you know? Did Mr. Long tell you? He must be lying to you, right? ”
“Mom, Mr Long doesn’t know yet, because I look different now. Please don’t tell him.”
“Why?” Mrs. Ling didn’t understand. A man as rich as Long Zhenghao should have told him to cultivate his feelings for him and try his best to remarry. Ling Mengzhu did not tell him? I don’t know what she’s thinking.
“No reason, just don’t tell him.” There must be a reason why Long Zhenghao abandoned her. She couldn’t take the risk, or who knew what would happen.
“Oh, I won’t say anything.” Mrs. Ling nodded, then suddenly asked uncertainly, “How did you know he was your ex-husband? Could it be that you made a mistake? How could there be such a coincidence under the heavens? ”
There was such a coincidence under the heavens! Ling Mengzhu thought to herself.
“Mom, I’m not mistaken, so I always wanted to ask you, did you really not know anything about what happened before you met me at the hospital? including why I was in a car accident and why there were no family members. ”
“This… I really don’t know. I just heard from the doctor that you were in a car accident, but couldn’t get in touch with your family. ”
Ling Mengzhu was silent, silently staring at the fragments on the ground in a daze. Even Mrs. Ling did not know her past. Who would know? Probably no one else? But she really wanted to know what kind of person she used to be. Why did she divorce him, why did she get into a car accident, all sorts of questions were waiting for her to find out.
Half an hour later, when the dishes finally left the table, Ling Meng Zhu went upstairs to call for Long Zhenghao to eat. Outside his room, she found him carefully polishing the photo frame she had bought from the boutique with a handkerchief.
Was he thinking of her again? Why was he always thinking of her?
Standing at the door and looking at him for a long time, Ling Mengzhu could not help but quietly walk in. Standing behind him and watching his focused expression, she cautiously asked: “Do you love her a lot?”
Long Zhenghao obviously didn’t expect her to suddenly enter his bedroom and speak. He looked up at her and lowered his head. He put the picture back in its place and nodded. “Yes.”
Ling Mengzhan knew that he didn’t like others entering his room, but this time she did not run away because of his displeasure. Instead, she chose to stay by his side and look at his slightly gloomy expression.
He was just nodding. He said he loved her very much? ” Why divorce her if you love her so much? ” In the end, Ling Mengzhu was still unable to hold it in as she boldly asked these questions about the mines that he had set up.
“Because of some misunderstandings, and some difficulties.” Long Zhenghao’s reply was still very short. With just a simple sentence, he had summarized the situation. Ling Mengzhu couldn’t find a way to ask any further questions.
Ling Mengzhu hesitated for a while before shamelessly asking, “What kind of difficulties are these?”
She looked at Long Zhenghao expectantly, but Long Zhenghao didn’t want to talk anymore. His face returned to his normal calm face, and he said, “It’s a long story, you don’t need to know so much. Go down, I want to rest.”
Ling Mengzhu secretly rolled her eyes in her heart as she tried to chase him away again. Every time when she was in a critical moment, she would ask him to do so, but he would always stop. Is it really that hard to talk about? So what secret?
It was at this moment that Mrs Ling’s loud voice came from downstairs, “Zhu Zhu, didn’t you go up to call Mr Long over for dinner? Why did he call for so long? You can’t even stop yourself from screaming? ”
Then there was Hu Chang’s teasing voice, “Auntie, stop calling me. I think I’m in the middle of a passion.”
Ling Mengzhu’s face turned red as she quickly looked at Long Zhenghao, who was standing on the side, and met his gaze. She was already ashamed, but now she felt even more ashamed. That damnable woman! One day, she would definitely get rid of her!
However, now was not the time to think about such things. If not, people would mistake him for having a good show upstairs. She called downstairs, “Coming!” He then turned back to Long Zhenghao and said, “Mr. Long, my mom has already prepared dinner, let’s go eat now.”
“No, I don’t want to eat it. You guys eat it.” Long Zhenghao refused without thinking. What a joke! One had to be able to eat with a woman in her thirties! He would rather go out at night and find something to fill his stomach.
Ling Mengzhu had already guessed that he would reject her, so she shrugged her shoulders helplessly, “Then you decide. Anyways, today I’ve spent all your money, so if you don’t eat it, you’ll be the one at a disadvantage. Alright, I’ll go out and eat first.”
As Ling Mengzhu spoke, she immediately waved at him and ran downstairs, leaving without a trace. Facing him … It was very awkward. However, as soon as she reached the first floor, she received Hu Chang’s scrutinizing gaze, as if she was trying to find some traces of him on her.
Being glanced at like that by her, Ling Mengzhu became furious, angrily patting her on the head, “What do you mean by looking at me like that? Do you really think that I am so passionate about it? ”
“Ugh …” It doesn’t look like it, hur hur. ” Hu Chang glanced at her clothes again, disappointment on his face.
“Zhu Zhu, why didn’t Mr. Long come down to eat?” “Hurry up, it’ll get cold if you’re late.” A moment ago, when Madam Ling found out that Long Zhenghao was Ling Mengzhan’s ex-husband, she became even more concerned about him. After all, he was her ex-son-in-law.
Ling Mengzhu innocently shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, “He said he didn’t want to eat and wanted to rest.”
“What are you resting for now? Get him down for dinner. ” Mrs Ling pushed her towards the stairs, while Hu Chang clapped his hands in support of Mrs Ling’s actions. Thus, Ling Meng Pearl had no choice but to return upstairs.
When she went in, Long Zhenghao was leaning against the bed, resting with his eyes closed. He just didn’t understand why he didn’t directly lie on the bed. Ling Mengzhu stood at the door looking at him, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists. In the end, she walked in, stood in front of him, and called out: “Mr. Long, are you asleep? Surely you haven’t fallen asleep? ”
Even if he fell asleep, she would have woken him up. Ling Mengzhu thought to herself as she stared at him unblinkingly.
Long Zhenghao opened his eyes leisurely and looked at her as he asked, “What is it?” The expression on his face was one of puzzlement. In fact, he was clear about something. He had heard everything that was said downstairs clearly. Of course, that included Hu Chang’s bold words. He was just purposely asking that now.
“My mom told you to go down and eat, so you should give her some face.” Of course she didn’t tell him. In fact, she herself also wished that he could go down and eat dinner. After all, resting was just an excuse. She knew that he just didn’t like eating with a bunch of women because Hu Chang was not a human at all, no … Not a woman!
