Xia Xiaoluo came back to the Ling’s villa with Ling Tianyi nervously. He Meishu was still enthusiastic, asking Xia Xiaoluo to drink the tonic soup. Ling Desheng, the one Xia Xiaoluo was mostly afraid of, said nothing but greeted them at times.
After supper, when Ling Tianyi was about to go home with Xia Xiaoluo, a servant rushed into the room and said excitedly, “Sir and Madam, Miss Ling comes back.”
“What?” He Meishu’s kept her eyes open, because she couldn’t believe it.
“Mom! I’m back.” The voice came first. And then a fashionable girl in her twenties came in leisurely.
“Oh, it’s really a surprise. My baby, how can you come back without telling me?” He Meishu said and welcomed Ling Tianxue, holding her daughter which she has not seen for more than two years. He Meishu was so happy that she couldn’t help crying.
“I can pick you up at the airport if you called me.” Ling Tianyi said. He didn’t leave directly. After all, his sister came back. If he left now, he was not a good brother.
“Will you pick me up? I heard that you only concerns about your wife now. Other things are not important. I don’t dare to take your time once I come back.” Ling Tianxue joked, tossing her handsome short hair.
Ling Tianxue slipped from her mother’s arms and came to Xia Xiaoluo. “Are you Xia Xiaoluo? You look younger than me! Ling Tianyi, you’re robbing the cradle!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Now that you know who she is, you should say hello to her!” Ling Tianyi said, pushing Xia Xiaoluo forward.
“Hi, I have known you for a long time. I prepared a gift for you. But my suitcase is in a mess. I’ll clear it up later and then send them to you and my brother.” Ling Tianxue was a lively young girl. Although this is the first time for her to meet Xia Xiaoluo, she didn’t embarrass her. Of course, she didn’t think that she could make friends with such a girl like Xia Xiaoluo.
“Hello, Tianxue!” Xia Xiaoluo was a little reserved.
“You’re so timid. Did my brother bully you? Don’t worry! Now I’m back. If he bullies you, you can call me. I’ll punish him!” Ling Tianxue laughed.
“Are you my sister? Once you come back, you are stirring up the relationship between Xiaoluo and me. Did you see me bully her?” Ling Tianyi pushed Ling Tianxue. They always quarreled with each other, but they loved each other.
“Just joking! Why are you so serious?” Ling Tianxue patted Ling Tianyi’s shoulders. She was also tall. She has worked as a plane model for a part-time job. With a pair of high-heeled shoes of more than ten centimeters, Ling Tianxue was not much shorter than Ling Tianyi.
“Go away!” Ling Tianyi pushed Ling Tianxue’s hands off his shoulder.
“Well, I won’t tease you. I’m tired. I’ve been taking the plane for more than ten hours. I haven’t got my jet lag yet. I’m going to sleep. No one is allowed to disturb me!” Ling Tianxue said, and then she went upstairs to her room, followed by the servant who helped her with her luggage.
“Tianxue! Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry?” He Meishu asked. She was always worried about her daughter.
“I’m not hungry! I ate something on the plane. I will not eat anything in the next three days. Mom, I want to sleep. Don’t wake me up!” Ling Tianxue said, going upstairs.
“Are you OK?” He Meishu ask continuously, intending to go upstairs with her.
Ling Desheng stopped her and said, “Both of them are not good children. She doesn’t concern about her parents but to sleep. It’s indecent. Let her go. If she doesn’t want to eat, don’t give her anything to eat. She deserves it!”
“Ah!” He Meishu sat down.
“When our daughter was not around, you always talked about her. Now she is back, you ignore her. What are you thinking about? If there is something wrong, what would you do?” He Meishu murmured.
“Don’t worry, mom and dad. Tianxue has come back, it’s a good thing. What’s more, she’s twenty-five years old. Don’t worry about her. She can take good care of herself. Moreover, I’ll take care of her.” Ling Tianyi said.
“You’d better go now. I’m not satisfied with you either!” Ling Desheng said. But he was looking at Xia Xiaoluo when he spoke to Ling Tianyi, who was shivering.
“OK, We’ll go! Anyway, Xiaoluo is going to take the final exam next week. We don’t have much time.” Ling Tianyi said, leaving with Xia Xiaoluo.
“You have a sister?” Xia Xiaoluo asked with surprise once she got on the car.
“I have told you before!” Ling Tianyi said.
“I don’t remember.” Xia Xiaoluo shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not a big thing anyway.” Ling Tianyi started the car. “Tianxue is a crazy girl. She could not do things for a long time. She may open a restaurant today. But tomorrow, she may buy a ticket and go abroad. She has been away for several years. You must not learn from her! ”
“Tianxue is not obedient. If she bullies you, you can tell me. Let me teach her a lesson!” Ling Tianyi said.
Xia Xiaoluo laughed at once. “Darling, you two are alike!”
“Really?” Ling Tianyi said. “Of course, we are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother! We must be alike!”
“Tianxue said that if you bully me, she will help me revenge on you. Now you say that if Tianxue bullies me, you will teach her a lesson. You speak in similar tones!” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.
“Darling, I won’t bully you, right?” Ling Tianyi said at once.
“If I fail in the final exam, will you bully me?” Xia Xiaoluo asked, wondering if Ling Tianyi would teach her a lesson before she left and when the scores were announced. After all, up to now, she could hardly do her homework. If she wanted to pass the exam, she had to make great efforts. But she was not sure she could do it.
“How unlucky it is to say that you will fail before you take the exam!” Ling Tianyi didn’t answer her directly. He thought that if a student failed in the exam after a semester’s classes, it was a problem. He could accept the low score, but he couldn’t understand that she would fail in the exam. Because himself, or Ling Tianxue, or Yao Sheng, even his other friends, they all liked playing, but they would not fail in the exam.
When Ling Tianyi was driving on the way, He Meishu called him.
“Mom, what’s the matter?” Ling Tianyi answered it with a wireless Bluetooth headset.
“Yi, your sister is back. We’d better have a dinner together. I haven’t seen her for a long time. You’d better take Xiaoluo home for dinner tomorrow evening or book a restaurant. Anyway, you must come back tomorrow evening. I tell you in advance. I am afraid that you are not free then!” He Meishu said. She was really happy. After her daughter came back, she felt at ease.
“Mom, you should ask your daughter first, not me. I’m sure that we can’t have dinner together tomorrow evening. You know Ling Tianxue’s character. She either sleeps in the room or asks her friends to make troubles.” Ling Tianyi said.
“It’s true! I’ll ask Tianxue later. Yi. You’d better come back these days. You are her brother, you must take good care of her.” He Meishu said. She always had a headache when she thought of her daughter.
Ling Tianyi frowned. “Mom, even you and father can’t persuade Ling Tianxue to listen to you. She can’t listen to me either. You are asking the wrong person.”
“How can I deal with it? We can’t let her to be like this.” He Meishu said. Once she thought of her daughter, she was happy. But she also had a headache.
“First of all, let Tianxue come to help me in the company. She can’t be loafing around all day. With the pressure of work, she won’t have too much time to hang out in the bar. And then, it’s up to you, mom. Find a boyfriend for her. She is 25 years old. It’s time to think about her life. Or it will be difficult for her to find a boyfriend.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Yes, yes, yes!” He Meishu said three monosyllabic words in succession, expressing her agreement with Ling Tianyi’s words.
“Mom, I’m driving the car! I have to hang up now. Call me if you have something!” Ling Tianyi said.
“OK, drive carefully. I’ll discuss it with your father.” He Meishu hung up and went to find Ling Desheng. Her daughter’s thing was the most important now.
Xia Xiaoluo heard what Ling Tianyi said. “Darling, you incite your mother like this. If Ling Tianxue knows it, she won’t let you go!”
“Will you tell her?” Ling Tianyi asked with a smile.
“No!” Xia Xiaoluo said, “But your mother will! Even if your mother doesn’t tell her, Ling Tianxue may know it herself!”
“There is no way. We have to divert my mother’s attention, or we will be busy! You’re going to take the exam. You can’t go home to accompany Tianxue every day, right? What’s more, we will go for a trip in winter vacation. If my mother always let me go home, Tianxue would bother me all the time. Then we would not be able to leave! Don’t you understand? And now, my mother will arrange the date for her, so we are free now!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“You are cunning! It’s really miserable to be your sister!” Xia Xiaoluo sighed.
“All my plans are for you. It will be happy to be my wife! Ling Tianyi said proudly.
