They had money, so much money that they could not spend it all. Those with power could control a massive country. However, in the face of old age and sickness, they were like everyone else. Everyone was equal.
Wen Ruoshui nodded. She knew that if Yu’er had known from the beginning, based on her temper and personality, she definitely wouldn’t have kept this from her for so long. She would have given it away long ago.
However, she really did not know exactly who the man in Sister Chu’s diary was. He’d caused her to think of him all her life, but she had not seen him many times nor spoken much to him. How outstanding was he to attract her?
Had she forgotten something? Why had Sister Chu written in her diary as though she should know some stuff? However, the only thing she remembered right now was that she liked Second Brother.
“Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to treat Second Uncle’s illness.” Ling Sheng decided that she had to awaken Song Yiyan first and get her to treat Second Uncle.
“What can you do?” Wen Ruoshui shook her head and sighed. “This is their Yan Family’s fate. It’s his fate.”
“I don’t believe in fate.” Ling Sheng looked at her seriously and asked, “Auntie Ruoshui, you have to believe me. I’ll definitely do my best to accomplish it.”
“It’s fine so long as you can accomplish letting me catch a glance of him now.” Wen Ruoshui smiled and pinched her nose. The little girl is comforting her!
“What’s so difficult about seeing him? I can let you see him and hear his voice at every second and minute.” Upon seeing that she had finally recovered a little, Ling Sheng also smiled through her tears.
“What can you do? Install surveillance cameras around him?” Wen Ruoshui only wanted to take a look at him. As for seeing him ‘every second and minute’, she hadn’t even thought of that.
Ling Sheng was someone who had accepted a mission. She even asked Yu Zheng for the most advanced surveillance equipment that couldn’t even be bought on the market.
Second Uncle’s place of residence was undetermined. He had been switching back and forth among a few places, but he would definitely sit in a car. So, she secretly placed a set in the car.
Then, she also installed a set at home. Second Uncle would be staying at her house for the next few days. After doing all this, she sent the client download link to Wen Ruoshui and taught her how to use it.
Since she had done something sneaky, she naturally felt guilty. When she was cooking in the kitchen at night, she was distracted too and would look outside from time to time.
“Sheng Sheng, what are you looking at?” Su Xiyin patted her worriedly.
“Nothing.” Ling Sheng coughed. She had nearly jumped up in fright. She patted her heart. “Grandma, why are you scaring me for no reason?”
“What are you thinking about? You’re so distracted.” Su Xiyin, who was afraid that she would cut her hand while chopping the vegetables, snatched the kitchen knife from her hand hurriedly. “Go out and play with Xiaoqi. Grandma will cook.”
“Xiaoqi was just brought downstairs by my mom to buy soy sauce.” Ling Sheng glanced at her grandma. How could she talk about her? Grandma was muddled too.
In the living room, Yan Yuanfei was sitting on the sofa, talking to Huo Xiao. The television opposite them was still on and the news was playing. From time to time, they would see Rong Yin appear on the television.
While they were eating, even Yan Yuanfei sensed Ling Sheng’s gaze and asked, “Sheng Sheng, do you have something to tell me?”
Ling Sheng shook her head and picked up food for him solicitously. “This is good for the health. Second Uncle, eat more of it.”
Yan Yuanfei did not think much of it. He only thought that she had not fully digested what had happened during the day yet. After all, he still had doubts even now, let alone a child like her.
Ling Sheng had not expected that her second uncle would not suspect her or pester her with questions. However, her mother dragged her straight to the room after dinner.
“What misdeed have you done?” Nangong Lengyu did not mince her words and went straight to the point. Her guilty behavior made her feel uncomfortable just from watching.
Thankfully, Second Brother’s vision was poor now and his senses weren’t sharp either. He hadn’t realized that she was behaving too strangely.
“Mom, what are you talking about? What misdeed did I do? Why should I do something bad?” Ling Sheng was tight-lipped, but her ears were slowly turning red already.
“You’re still being stubborn!” Nangong Lengyu pinched her earlobe and smiled. “It’s red. They’re all red.”
This girl is exactly like Ah Mo. She doesn’t know how to lie. Her eyes would flit all around, and her ears would turn red instantly too.
“I can’t tell you.” Ling Sheng let out a low cough. She had promised Auntie Ruoshui that only Heaven, Earth, and the two of them would know. She definitely wouldn’t tell a third person.
“You went to the Water Moon Convent in the afternoon?” How could Nangong Lengyu not know her? “You met your aunt. What did she want from you? Is it related to your second uncle?”
Ling Sheng’s eyes widened abruptly. Holy crap, are all of you reincarnated immortals? Why are you so accurate with your guesses? This is too impressive! “Did Auntie Ruoshui tell you?”
Upon seeing that her daughter was still feigning ignorance, Nangong Lengyu let out a low sigh and pointed at her. “Stop pretending. Tell me honestly. Did she already find out during the last meet-up on Valentine’s Day?”
Others did not know her, but as her good friend, she still knew her very well. She already knew that Second Brother was still alive, but she just didn’t voice it out.
“Mom.” Ling Sheng covered her mouth and dragged her to the balcony. They couldn’t let Second Uncle overhear, or all her efforts would be in vain.
“Are you still playing dumb with me?” Nangong Lengyu looked at her and asked. She was really bold. She did not know what she had promised to help Shui Shui with either. While being dragged away, she kindly reminded her, “Your Second Uncle can’t hear you. Even if you shout out loud here, he won’t be able to hear you.”
“Mom, do all of them know?” Ling Sheng panicked. “Do my uncles know?”
“No, they don’t.” Nangong Lengyu reached out to knock her head. “Do you think they’re like me? How many years of friendship have I had with your aunt? Her brows can crease the slightest bit and I’ll know what she’s thinking of.”
“I’ll tell you. Don’t say that I’m behaving secretively. Auntie Ruoshui found out that Second Uncle isn’t dead and she wants to see him, so I installed surveillance cameras and wiretapping devices.”
“When did you install them?” Nangong Lengyu became nervous and asked anxiously, “What kind of surveillance cameras? Where did you put them?”
“There’s a set in Second Uncle’s car and another set at home too.” Since Ling Sheng had been exposed, she did not have any more reservations.
She knew that she might be suspected, but she had not expected her mother to notice that something was amiss and catch her red-handed immediately after she had done something bad.
Upon hearing that she had placed it in the car, Nangong Lengyu’s eyes constricted abruptly as she tugged at her. “Go, get that thing back right now. You can’t put it in the car. Your Second Uncle will discover it.”
This child! Why didn’t she think about discussing it with her first? What kind of person was Second Brother? Was he the kind of person who could be monitored or bugged so easily?
“Mom, you don’t have to worry. I got the stuff from Yu Zheng, that impressive hacker working under Third Master. He promised that there definitely won’t be a problem.” Ling Sheng didn’t even dare to buy the ordinary kind of gadgets.. She asked him for the most cutting-edge and top-notch products.
