Chapter 60 (2/2)

Her heart was restless because she didn’t know how to face her parents and how to explain them what she went through.

“Lingling, don’t worry, they are your parents and you are forever their daughter.” Tao Ruoxiang lightly patted Zhou Lingling’s back and comforted her. These words were simple, but Zhou Lingling understood the meaning behind them---- parents’ love was most selfless and forgiving. No matter what Zhou Linling did, they would forgive her and moreover Zhou Lingling was the victim in this case.

Zhou Lingling nodded her head and finally took up the courage to ring the doorbell.

After a short moment, the door opened.

A middle aged woman, whose hair was messy and had a haggard face, opened the door, but the moment she saw Zhou Lingling, her originally dim eyes suddenly brightened, and she immediately grabbed Zhou Lingling’s hand: “Daughter! My daughter! You are back, you came back to see mother? G.o.d, you finally heard my prayers, letting my daughter come back to see me…….”

“Mother---what are you talking about!? I am not dead! I am alive!” Zhou Lingling realized what her mother was implying.

“What!? ---right, your hands are warm! You are not dead, you are alive! Could all the previous events be mother’s hallucination!? Right, they were definitely hallucinations. This is real, you are real. My daughter, mother truly missed you.” Mother Zhou was crying tears of joy.

“Ah’Jiao, who are you talking with--ahh--” Father Zhou had also walked over at this time, and he suddenly blanked upon seeing Zhou Lingling, the cigarette in his hand dropped to the floor, then he walked forward and hugged Zhou Lingling, “Daughter----your soul has returned home! Don’t leave, if you want to leave, take us with you…….”

Tears were already falling down from father Zhou’s face, while he was hugging Zhou Lingling.

Men do not shed tears unless they are deeply grieved.

Qin Lang finally understood the meaning of these words, he couldn’t help but be moved by the feelings of Zhou Lingling’s parents to her.

After the family of three hugged and cried for a while, Zhou Lingling wiped her tears and said to her parents: “It was teacher Tao and Qin Lang who saved me and they also punished those criminals.”

“Teacher Tao, student Qin Lang, thank you, thank you!” Father Zhou immediately expressed his thanks. Ever since their daughter’s ‘suicide’, these two husband and wife had lost the motivation to continue with their lives, they lived each day feeling pain and remorse; they felt that due to their normally busy work-life, they had neglected to look after their daughter and that had lead to the tragedy.

Now that their daughter suddenly appeared before them, these two husband and wife felt indescribable happiness.

Qin Lang and Tao Ruoxiang exchanged few words with Zhou Lingling’s parents and took their leave, after all it was already late night now. Moreover, Zhou Lingling was reunited with her parents and they definitely would have a lot of things to talk about, so staying here would not be fitting.

When they left the house, that young police was still waiting in the car. ‘See the job through to the end’, since he knew he couldn’t afford to provoke this young master in front of him, the young policeman wanted to do his best to satisfy his demands. What’s more, the captain had said he would have to go catch snakes once he returned; he was someone who feared snakes, he would s.h.i.+ver just from thinking about them, so he felt it was better to just carry on with this driver duty.

“Qin Lang, where will you go?” Tao Ruoxiang asked.

“Seeing Zhou Lingling reuniting with her parents, I am thinking of returning home.” said Qin Lang.

“Yes, I also want to return home.” Tao Ruoxiang was still sunk in the emotions of Zhou Lingling reuniting with her family.

“Then come with me to home.” Qin Lang made a pun.

“Kid, you are asking for death ----you dare to try take advantage of your teacher!” Tao Ruoxiang was smart, naturally she heard the implied meaning behind Qin Lang’s words.

The young policeman drove the car, he couldn’t help shaking his head and thinking inwardly: ‘The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day, teachers are flirting with students…….right, during high school, I also liked my english teacher, but unfortunately, she already has children now.’
