Chapter 22 (1/2)

Cheng Ming had a lengthy talk at his end.

“It’s not a big deal to me. I don’t have a grandfather, more so a sister.”

Then, Cheng Ling hung up and blacklisted Cheng Ming’s cell phone number.

18 years ago, the Cheng family brought Cheng Ling back, but Cheng Ming and Xie Wan never did their duty as parents. It was Xie Ying who did everything.

In the eyes of the Cheng family, Cheng Ling had always been an outsider.

The Cheng family had never formally introduced Cheng Ling to others. When they had guests, they would just casually mention about her. They had never taken Cheng Ling seriously.

Cheng Ling did not miss such a family at all.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Qi saw that Cheng Ling’s mood was not as good as before after taking the phone call.

Cheng Ling only shook her head slightly. “Nothing, I just received a boring phone call.”

“Since it’s a boring phone call, don’t let it ruin your good mood.”

When the elevator arrived, Lu Qi slightly bent over, put his left hand behind his back, and extended his right hand forward, making a “please” gesture. His eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the warm yellow lights in the hotel lobby softened his thin outline.

Cheng Ling smiled and walked into the elevator.

When he heard that Cheng Ling was coming, Lu Xiu waited in the room.

“Miss Cheng, please take a seat.”

Cheng Ling sat down suspiciously. Was this really the head of the Lu family? Why… was he such a lackey?

“Lu Bei, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get Miss Cheng some water. Miss Cheng is an important guest.”

“The water is too hot! How do you want Miss Cheng to drink it?”

“It’s cold! Drinking too much cold water is not good for girls!”

Lu Bei made three trips and finally got some water that Lu Xiu was satisfied with.

“Come, Miss Cheng, please have some water!”

Cheng Ling, “Do you have any cola?”

Lu Bei, “…”

“I’m just kidding. This water will do.”

Lu Qi sat opposite Cheng Ling, “Miss Cheng, do you know what illness I have?”
