Chapter 520 Sleepy Meals
"I don't know why...Achoo!" The man sneezed and cleared his throat. "I don't catch any cold and the weather is fine, why am I sneezing?"
"You sure? We're getting old. Who knows what our immune system has become?" The woman shrugged. "Or maybe somebody is badmouthing you a lot."
"Oh, your reason might be the truth." The man laughed. "It seems my competitors are praising me."
"Dad! You must be dreaming!" Ling Yunxiang snorted and sat down beside the sofa where her parents were.
The man and woman were Ling Muchen and Yang Xuying. Both no longer had worries in their eyes as they looked at Ling Yunxiang with doting eyes.
They were relieved to see Ling Yunxiang cease to have gloom over her since she met her elder sister, Ling Qingyu.
The two believed they had made the right decision and were thankful for Ling Qingyu's acceptance. Though they understood, that Ling Qingyu might not forgive them yet, being able to not spread the enmity toward the next generations elated them.
At the same time, Ling Muchen and Yang Xuying were curious about how Ling Qingyu tackled the problem and even attacked Qin family, their Ling family had some scruples.
Yes, attack. They weren't idiots to think that Qin family's struggle during the time when Ling Yunxiang's whitewashing operation was a coincidence.
Surprisingly, Ling Qingyu hurt Qin family badly enough that the losses weren't small, even for a giant whose influence and power reigned over the capital.
"You, little girl. When your wings are hard enough, you even talk back to your father?" Ling Muchen scolded lightly and shook his head with some helplessness. He and his wife really doted on Ling Yunxiang.
Since coming back from Ling Qingyu, Ling Yunxiang's mood and temperament had undergone a complete change. A transformation to say the least.
She became more confident and assertive. Ling Yunxiang was busy with her career these days under Fan Xi's guidance and network. Like a sponge, she absorbed all the knowledge and experience, improving by leaps and bounds.
The directors and her colleagues praised her improvement. With Fan Xi's background and the mysterious support of her elder sister, who dared to fight against Qin family, Ling Yunxiang was like a fish returning to a pool of water.
She wasn't arrogant but acted like one in front of her parents to show off her elder sister's love as if to prove she obtained Ling Qingyu's care while the two parents couldn't get close.
Yang Xuying stood up and sat close to her daughter and gave her head a good beating. "Be courteous to your father. Don't think that you can obtain fame and wealth so much so that you're independent."
"Mom..." Ling Yunxiang whined and retorted. "Who made me have Sister Qingyu? She even gave me racing supercars."
Yang Xuying rubbed her nose at her swaggering daughter. She had never ceased to boast these supercars gifts. Initially, Yang Xuying suspected Ling Qingyu did on purpose to spoil her daughter and ruin her. After all, in the elite circle, she had seen many conspiracies and silent battles among the heirs.
"Seeing your tired appearance, I figure you should take a rest." Ling Qingyu said softly. "About the rest and our affairs, we can discuss them later when we are free and energetic. You should take some rest, Aunt Gu and Assistant Su too."
Gu Yi yawned and shook her head in embarrassment. Well, since Ling Qingyu could be her future daughter-in-law, she didn't need to pretend too much.
And what Ling Qingyu suggested was right. Gu Yi felt an exhaustion and sleepiness beginning to hit her.
Seeing Gu Yi seem to agree with Ling Qingyu's advice, Assistant Su also nodded. She was tired, taking care of Gu Yi's work as secretary as well as managing the security team.
In fact, she wasn't a secretary but she served as a temporary one when required. She had been restless since she planted her feet in Province N.
Even if Ling Qingyu affirmed multiple times that the Bentley, which they rode on was bulletproof. What if someone shot an RPG?
Although there was no motives or reasons, who could say for sure, especially when she had watched Spirit Fox fight against RPGs, machine guns and more.
Now that they were in Ling Qingyu's residence, AKA Spirit Fox headquarter, Assistant Su felt safe. Furthermore, Ling Qingyu cooperated to reinforce the security details since she knew Gu Yi stayed here.
Assistant Su was satisfied with Ling Qingyu's help to support her security work. "Thank you, Ms. Ling."
"Right, I also have many topics to discuss but my eyelids got heavier and heavier." Gu Yi said. "Little Yu, it must be your fault."
"Yes, yes, Aunt Gu. Let me make amends." Ling Qingyu put her palms up and surrendered.
She called Lin Xiao to arrange accommodation for the two. Soon, the maids led them to the prepared rooms.
"It's not a problem for me to stay here for a week while I'm here, right?" Gu Yi teased before leaving.
"Of course, Aunt Gu. You can stay here with a peace of mind." Ling Qingyu nodded and exchanged a helpless glance with Assistant Su.
The pressure wasn't small to accommodate a national minister in her manor. Fortunately, the girls in her manor could be trusted.
Ling Qingyu sat down again as she gazed at the flowers after watching the two leave. She had a headaches to receive an additional burden. Fortunately, her elders were spending their leisure elsewhere and the manor was huge enough to prevent them from meeting Aunt Gu.
If her mother knew she treated the minister perfunctorily, she would be scolded non-stop, without being able to escape.
As for today's work she planned originally, she no longer had the thrive. And the topics she had yet to discuss, couldn't keep her still. She must speak out her thoughts and discuss with Aunt Gu. Otherwise, she would deeply regret it.
