Xie Ying was missing her and quickly took out the food that was hot in the pot.

“How is it?” Xie Ying asked.
“What do you mean by that?” Cheng Ling replied.
“I mean you and the second young master of the Lu family!”
Wang Ma felt dizzy listening to it by the side.
Cheng Ling stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth and swallowed it before she said, “We’re fine. Grandma, don’t randomly match a couple.”
Xie Ying patted Cheng Ling’s head and went back to watch TV.
At this point, Cheng Ling recalled the phone call Cheng Ming made to her today.
How did Cheng Ming know that she was with Lu Qi today?
Cheng Ling tilted her head slightly and saw Wang Ma pretending to be working at the door.
Wang Ma was arranged by Xie Wan to come over last year. She was supposed to take care of her and Xie Ying’s daily life, but in reality, she did nothing.

Now it seemed it was not that she didn’t do nothing. She was doing a good job of providing information.
She should find some people that she could trust and keep them by her side so that when she went to school, she wouldn’t have to worry about Xie Ying being bullied.
Thinking of this, she took out her phone and looked through her contact list. She found a person with WeChat name ‘Fight and Kill’.

Farming Professional: Do you have any girls over there?
The reply was almost instantaneous.
Fight and Kill: What girls? Let me tell you, human trafficking is illegal!
Farming Professional: …
Farming Professional: Do you have any girls who know how to fight? I need someone to take care of my grandmother.

Fight and Kill: Isn’t this simple! Look at my WeChat name, isn’t it obvious enough?
Farming Professional: Oh yes, besides knowing how to fight, she has to be gentle and delicate. After all, she’s taking care of the elderly.
Cheng Ling typed with one hand while eating.
Fight and Kill: D*mn, this isn’t simple! Look at my WeChat name. Will I be able to find a gentle and delicate person?

Farming Professional: I’ll leave it to you!
Fight and Kill: Okay, leave it to me. But, Sister…
Fight and Kill: When can I go to your place to pick some vegetables? My elderly mother said that her legs hurt recently.
Farming Professional: I’ll pick and send them to you.
Fight and Kill: Okay, I’ll do your thing right away! Wait for my good news.
Cheng Ling put away her phone and ate seriously.
At the Cheng residence.
Cheng Ming had been in a bad mood since morning.

Not only was he was hung up by Cheng Ling, but he couldn’t get through to her after that.
“Dad, Sister probably has blacklisted your number,” Cheng Xiao said softly. “You definitely can’t get through after you’re blacklisted.”

Cheng Ming angrily threw the phone in his hand onto the sofa.
“This Cheng Ling, it’s fine if she doesn’t learn to be filial to her parents, but now she dares to ignore my call! I’ve raised her for 18 years in vain! She’s an ingrate!”

Xie Wan, “Maybe Cheng Ling is thinking of some ways to seduce the second young master of the Lu family. She wants to fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix!”
She said while applying nail polish.
Although the one Cheng Ling was close to was Lu Qi, there would be many opportunities which she would be able to meet Lu Xiu.
Cheng Xiao secretly clenched her fists.
“Mom, I want to move to the villa at the back of the mountain.”
Xie Wan looked up in surprise. “Why do you have this idea?”
The back of the mountain was cool and humid, and the house was not as new as this place. With so many plants, there would definitely be a lot of mosquitoes.
Cheng Xiao sat next to Xie Wan, took the nail polish from her hand, and helped her apply it. “Cheng Ling is my sister after all. Her grades are so bad now, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to our Cheng family if word gets out?”
“If I move in, I can help her with her homework.”
Xie Wan, “Why do you care about her? She’s always been such a stupid person, don’t waste your time. You won’t get used to living in that house.”
Cheng Xiao, “It’s okay, for my sister’s future, I’m willing.”

Her words were heard by Old Master Cheng, who had just returned from a stroll.
“Xiao Xiao is such a good child to think for Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling indeed should be disciplined!”
Since Cheng Ming had spoken, Xie Wan could not refute him.
However, Cheng Xiao was her daughter whom she wanted to pamper. If she lived in that place, what if she got into some bad habits. In her eyes, Cheng Ling was like a black ink. As the saying went, ‘one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black’.
Xie Wan glanced at Cheng Ming, wanting him to give a different opinion. Unexpectedly, Cheng Ming slapped his thigh and said excitedly,
“It’s not without benefits for Xiao Xiao to live in the villa at the back of the mountain!”
