Chapter 016 The Worries of the Mother and Daughter

Ling Xuan said softly, "This can't be considered bad luck. The thing has already happened, and it has been broadcast whether we like it or not. Why should we still care about it?"

Ye Feng was taken aback and said, "I want to go and have a drink?"

Ling Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Can drinking solve the problem? What you need to do now is to go home, take a shower, clear your mind, and think about what kind of remedial work we should do tomorrow."

Ye Feng was stunned and said, "Remedial work?!"

Ling Xuan nodded and said, "Jiang Hao is still in detention, and the test report of that customer will come out tomorrow. Maybe we still have a chance to turn everything around."

Ye Feng said softly, "Don't you really want to have a drink with me?"

Ling Xuan was taken aback and said, "President Ye..."

Ye Feng said, "There's no one else here. Just call me Xiaoye."

Ling Xuan said, "For someone as excellent as you, if you want to invite someone to have a drink, I'm afraid there will be so many men queuing up that they can line up from the intersection of Renmin Road all the way to the end of the road."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "But I don't even have a boyfriend now. Isn't that a failure..."

Ling Xuan said, "Failure? Is it? It's just that in your previous life, you put your career first and ignored your personal feelings. Just like a moment ago, as soon as you heard that Xianying was exposed on TV, you lost your composure. It can be seen how much you value your career and how strong your sense of responsibility is. Since I came to Xianying, I've always seen you busy. You're busy with work during working hours, and when you get home, you're still giving instructions on the phone non-stop. In such a situation, where do you have the time to manage your love life? " After saying this, he let out a long sigh and continued, "Not having a boyfriend doesn't mean anything. Moreover, in the circle you work in, you rarely get in touch with men."

"Do you really think so?" Ye Feng said with a rather joyful expression on her face.

Ling Xuan said, "In fact, President Huang is really fortunate to have you as an assistant."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "When you praise people, Xiao Ling, you really do it subtly."

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "Xiaoye, you're flattering me too much."

Ye Feng drove the car again and all the way to the entrance of Xianying's flagship store. Ling Xuan got out of the car.

"Xiao Ling, thank you!" Ye Feng hesitated for a moment and said to Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan smiled and said, "Really? I hope that next time I take your car, I can still sit beside you."

Ye Feng opened her eyes wide, her pretty face beaming with a smile, and said, "I'll save the seat for you. It's really nice to be with you..." Her words carried a profound meaning.

Ling Xuan was taken aback, then smiled and waved at her. He closed the car door and walked towards his motorcycle. Ling Xuan walked all the way and stopped in front of Hualian Supermarket. He went into the supermarket, bought some food, and also picked out some coats and underwear for Ning Huifen and her daughter. Facing the gaze of the salesperson, Ling Xuan felt a little guilty and uncomfortable all over.

"Sir, are you buying clothes for your girlfriend?" The salesperson happened to come up and asked kindly when Ling Xuan was feeling uncomfortable.

"I... I'm just looking around!" Ling Xuan said softly.

"This down jacket is the most popular style this year. It's the best gift for your girlfriend. It's the 'warmth brand'!" The salesperson seemed to be sure that Ling Xuan would definitely buy something and kept talking beside him.

Ling Xuan looked at the price of the down jacket, which was more than 890 yuan, and immediately shook his head and said, "I'll choose by myself..."

The salesperson showed some contemptuous expression. Ling Xuan was annoyed by the nagging and the attitude of these salespeople. When you buy something, you're treated like a master, but if you don't buy, they look down on you. Damn it! Even if I don't buy your things, you shouldn't treat me like this! You have no manners at all.

Ling Xuan walked to another underwear counter, quickly picked out several sets of promotional underwear, bras, and pajamas and put them in the shopping cart. He bought some food that could be stored in the refrigerator. At the promotional counter in front of the checkout counter, he picked out two sets of warm windbreakers that cost about a hundred yuan each, and also selected four sets of discounted thermal underwear and several pairs of long pants, filling the entire shopping cart!

When he checked out, he spent more than 500 yuan. At the main counter, he could even get two bottles of cola.

Ling Xuan tied the things to his motorcycle and rushed home. It was already a little past ten o'clock at night when he got home.

As soon as he parked the car, he saw that his house was completely dark and there was no light at all.

"Could it be that Ning Huifen and her daughter have already left?" Ling Xuan's mind went blank for a moment, and he hurriedly rushed to the door of his house and opened it!

He pressed the light switch and saw that Ning Huifen was still sitting quietly on the sofa, and her daughter Xu Lingling had already fallen asleep on the sofa...

When the door was opened, Ning Huifen was first terrified and her face was flustered. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Ling Xuan.

Ling Xuan closed the door, put the things on the table, and said, "Have you been sitting here all this time?"

Ning Huifen nodded.

Ling Xuan said, "Why didn't you turn on the light?"

Ning Huifen said in a low voice, "We were afraid of causing trouble for you, sir... afraid that someone would come."

Ling Xuan was quite touched. He looked at the refrigerator and the kitchen and said, "Haven't you eaten anything?"

Ning Huifen looked at the rice cooker and said, "We had some rice."

It turned out that Ning Huifen and her daughter were afraid that the neighborhood committee or the like would find out that they were living in Ling Xuan's house. So they didn't dare to watch TV, didn't dare to cook, and didn't even dare to turn on the lights, for fear of attracting the attention of the neighbors. When they were hungry, they just ate the rice that Ling Xuan had cooked in the morning.

Ling Xuan immediately picked out several kinds of vegetables that he had bought in the supermarket and said, "I'll cook something for you."

"This... how can this be?" Ning Huifen stammered.

Ling Xuan said, "Come and help me too. Wash the rice and put it in the rice cooker to cook."

"Oh?!" Ning Huifen nodded. After all, she came from a well-off family, so she knew how to use electrical appliances and gas.

Ling Xuan also taught her how to turn on the heating and asked her to try on the clothes he had bought to see if they fit.

As soon as Ning Huifen saw the price tag on the clothes, her tears welled up immediately, and she said, "Sir, such expensive clothes, how can we... afford them?"

While stir-frying the dishes, Ling Xuan said, "Tomorrow I'll take your ID card to apply for a temporary residence permit, so you don't have to be afraid anymore. From now on, I'll leave the grocery shopping and cooking to you. Since you're going to go out to buy groceries, how can you do without some decent clothes?"

"But... I have clothes with me!" Ning Huifen hesitated for a moment and said.

Ling Xuan looked at the snake skin bag that he had brought back in the morning and said, "Don't keep those old and dirty clothes. I'll take them and throw them away later."

"This..." Ning Huifen hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, do you really want to keep us here as nannies?"

Ling Xuan said, "Don't you want to?"

"No..." Ning Huifen said, and suddenly knelt down with tears in her eyes and said, "We really don't know how to repay your great kindness, sir."

Ling Xuan said, "I've said it many times. If you take care of this home for me and I can enjoy the delicious and hot meals you cook when I get off work, that's the best way to repay me."

"I and Lingling will definitely do our best..." Ning Huifen said while crying.

Ling Xuan said softly, "Okay, it's getting late. Wake Lingling up for dinner." He finished cooking the dishes and went back to his room.

Ning Huifen said, "Aren't you going to eat, sir?"

Ling Xuan said, "I've already eaten outside. I'll take a shower first."

Ning Huifen woke up her daughter. Looking at the delicious food on the table, she felt a pang of sadness again, and tears of gratitude streamed down her face.

"Mom... you've cried many times today." Xu Lingling comforted her on the side.

Ning Huifen stroked her daughter's back and said emotionally, "If it weren't for sir, we mother and daughter would have starved to death on the street long ago. We must keep sir's great kindness in our hearts and repay him well in the future..."

Xu Lingling said, "But sir has such a good life. How can we ever repay him?"

Ning Huifen was taken aback and said, "Sir wants us to take care of this home. We should do our duty well and do everything that sir asks us to do. That can also be considered a form of repayment."

Xu Lingling nodded and said, "Mom, I know. Our lives were saved by sir. I will definitely follow what he asks us to do."

"Lingling is so good. Eat quickly." Ning Huifen said softly as she stroked her daughter's head.

While eating, Xu Lingling looked at the clothes Ling Xuan had bought and said, "Mom, the clothes sir bought are really beautiful. Are they for us?"

Ning Huifen said, "Yes. After dinner, take a shower and put on the new clothes to see."

"Okay!" Xu Lingling said happily.

Ling Xuan heard the conversation between the mother and daughter in his room. He felt a sense of contentment and pride, and he felt as if he was floating.

Really, it feels so good to have money.
