Chapter 28: Moving Out?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xie Ying felt a chill down her spine. The daughter she had raised for more than 20 years had actually become such a person.
Ever since Xie Wan married into the Cheng family, she had despised the poor and loved the rich. All these years, she had never been filial to her. Now, she was even asking for rent from her! She tightened her grip on the remote control in her hand.
“If you don’t let Xiao Xiao move in, then you can move out and find a place to live!”
“Xie Wan! I’ve raised you for nothing all these years!” Xie Ying also stood up, her hands trembling with anger.
Cheng Ling saw Xie Ying’s anger and was worried that she might get sick from her anger. She was even more unhappy with the two of them who came uninvited.
“If you want us to move out, then we’ll move out. Don’t beg us to move back when the time comes.”

After saying that lightly, Cheng Ling continued to read her book and pulled Xie Ying back to the sofa to sit down, increasing the volume of the television for her.
Xie Wan continued to curse, “That’s what you said! If you want to move, move quickly! Don’t beg us to let you live in this house again!”
Cheng Ling did not respond. She said to Xie Ying beside her.
“Grandma, watch TV. The female lead is about to tear this green tea apart.”
“I thought this kind of second female lead could only be seen on TV. I didn’t expect to see her in person today.”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao’s expression changed again and again. Was Cheng Ling saying that she was the supporting actress?
Cheng Xiao smiled. Ugly duckling would always be ugly duckling. Even if it took over the swan’s nest, it would still be ugly duckling,

Just you wait, Cheng Ling. One day, I would let everyone see how shallow and ignorant you were!
After Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao left angrily, then only Xie Ying let out a sigh of relief and looked at Cheng Ling with a worried expression.
“Ling Ling, are we really going to move out?”
Now that she thought about it carefully, Xie Ying began to regret her impulsiveness. Without a house, where could they live! Not to mention that Cheng Ling still had to go to school and needed money for everything.
“I was impulsive just now. Why don’t I apologize to the Cheng family?”
Cheng Ling held Xie Ying’s hand.
“Grandma, you can’t apologize! We’re not wrong about this. We won’t move out. Don’t worry. In less than 24 hours, they’ll come to apologize to us and beg us to live here.”
Xie Ying thought Cheng Ling was comforting herself. “Ling Ling, don’t worry. Grandma still has some savings. It’s enough for us to rent a small house. Moreover, Grandma’s body is still healthy. I can even sell vegetables. I will definitely let our Ling Ling grow up happily.”
This time, Cheng Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, she knew that Xie Ying wouldn’t believe her no matter what she said, so she followed Xie Ying’s words.
“Okay, Grandma is the best to me!” Cheng Ling hugged Xie Ying’s waist and lay on her lap, just like how Cheng Ling always dozed off on her lap after eating when she was young.
In the blink of an eye, she was no longer a child, and Xie Ying’s head was covered with a lot of silver hair.
“Grandma, I will definitely let you live a good life. Don’t worry!”
Xie Ying gently stroked Cheng Ling’s hair. “Of course. Ling Ling is so outstanding. Grandma believes in you.”
Two hours later, Xie Wan and Cheng Xiao were called into the study room by the furious Old Master Cheng.
Cheng Ming followed closely behind.
“What’s wrong, Dad?”
Old Master Cheng sat on the chair, so angry that his beard was trembling.
“What’s wrong? Ask your wife what she had done!”
Xie Wan was confused. “I…I didn’t do anything.”
“The head of the Lu family just called and said that they no longer want to buy the land in the back of the mountain!”
Cheng Ming was shocked!
What was going on? They had been talking nicely, and the Cheng family could still earn some money from it. At the same time, they could also sell a favor to the Lu family. Now, they were going to lose everything!
“This has nothing to do with us! How could we have the chance to contact the head of the Lu family?”
“The head of the Lu family said that they no longer want the land because Cheng Ling is moving out! Did the two of you go to the back mountain to cause trouble?”
Old Master Cheng said angrily while waving the crutch in his hand, as if he was going to throw it over in the next second.
Xie Wan’s heart went cold. How did the head of the Lu family find out about this so quickly?
“Dad, let me explain. It was Cheng Ling who refused to let Xiao Xiao move in…”
Xie Wan wanted to defend herself, but Old Master Cheng interrupted her.
“Stop talking! What’s the use of saying so much? Cheng Ling moves out, and the Lu family doesn’t live here. What’s the use of Cheng Xiao moving in?”
“You two, quickly resolve this matter. No matter what method you use, you have to keep Cheng Ling stay at the back of the mountain!”
