Chapter 1514 Huang Ling's trump card
Lin Wufeng brought his family back to Suzhou to meet Huang Ling's family. The two families felt a little awkward when they met. After all, their former neighbors and good friends were suddenly going to become in-laws, so Song Ying was somewhat nervous.

Of course, Song Ying knew her son Lin Dongzhe's character best. She knew that Lin Dongzhe had taken advantage of her and was dating Zhuang Xiaoting, so they both kept a low profile.

They had originally planned to stay in a guesthouse when they returned to Suzhou this time, but Huang Ling insisted that they stay at home and helped them clean up the house next door in advance. After all, after Wu Shanshan disappeared, no one dared to take possession of this house anymore.

Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe Pengfei were watching TV in the next room. The parents of both sides were chatting together, and Zhuang Tunan also joined in.

Seeing that Su Ning didn't show up for such an important matter, Song Ying couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Sister Ling, hasn't Teacher Zhuang returned to Suzhou yet?"

Thinking that Song Ying and Lin Wufeng knew their family's affairs very well, Huang Ling explained without hiding anything, "No! Ever since he divorced me, he hasn't come back to Suzhou even once. I heard that Zhuang Ganmei went to Shanghai to look for him some time ago, but Zhuang Chaoying sent him back."

"Zhuang Ganmei? How did he know the whereabouts of Teacher Zhuang?" As expected, Huang Ling's explanation surprised Song Ying. She felt that Zhuang Ganmei was too powerful.

"Not long ago, when Grandpa Tunan broke his leg, Zhuang Ganmeijiu came and pestered me, asking me about Zhuang Chaoying's whereabouts. Wu Shanshan from next door secretly told him. Later, Zhuang Chaoying asked Zhuang Ganmeijiu to contact Pengfei, who provided basic living expenses and medical expenses for the two elderly people."

"Wu Shanshan? Why did she do this?"

"Humph! It's because of an unbalanced mentality! Although Zhang A-mei is not Shanshan's biological mother, Shanshan has unconsciously become another Zhang A-mei."

Then Song Ying thought about her own family's experience and made a judgment, "Indeed! Seeing how she was crazy about calculating our house, I felt that this child had a bit of a vicious temper. She didn't remember the kindness I showed her in the future."

However, Huang Ling's heart softened when she thought of Wu Shanshan's experience. Ultimately, it was the lack of a healthy family that had an impact. "Oh! This child is so pitiful! She has been punished now. On the wedding day, she was beaten badly by that beast Liu Jian. She was sent to the hospital and recovered, but then she disappeared completely. Now no one can tell where she is."

"Shouldn't Old Wu and Zhang A'mei go look for them?" Song Ying, who also agreed with Huang Ling's judgment, became confused again.

The mention of this incident made Huang Ling completely disgusted with the Wu family. "No! They didn't even pretend to do it. It felt like Wu Shanshan had brought shame to their family. Even Xiaojun, the one Shanshan loved the most, acted like nothing happened."

"Sister Ling, Zhang Amei's family is really top-notch."

"Yes! I hope Wu Shanshan can change to a new environment and start over."

Huang Ling could never have dreamed that Wu Shanshan had been reborn and was now enjoying life in another place. That kind of life was so extravagant that she had never dared to imagine before.

After that, both sides stopped talking about the cotton mill. This time, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying also brought jewelry and red envelopes. As the boy's parents, they seemed to want to show their sincerity.

However, Zhuang Tunan on the side felt that it was a bit too serious now, and was worried that it would cause unnecessary pressure on Zhuang Xiaoting. After all, Zhuang Xiaoting has been very worried since she was a child.

However, it was difficult to refuse for the sake of his elders' face, so he accepted his share of the red envelope. As for whether Pengfei and Zhuang Xiaoting would accept it, it depended on their own wishes.

However, the jewelry was directly rejected. After all, considering that Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting are still in school, they can only be considered as boyfriend and girlfriend at the moment, and have not yet passed the stage of graduation assignment, so they still need to be tested.

At this moment, everyone present agreed with Zhuang Tunan's words. It was hard to say what the future of Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting would be.

Although Zhuang Tunan's words were more realistic, everyone had to admit their correctness. Song Ying and Lin Wufeng also realized their recklessness.

Of course, Song Ying and Lin Wufeng had no other intentions. Regardless of whether Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting would get married, their main purpose of coming this time was to express their importance to Zhuang Xiaoting.

In the end, Song Ying accepted Zhuang Tunan's suggestion and kept Zhuang Xiaoting's necklace with herself for the time being, thus avoiding embarrassment for everyone.

As for the other gold necklace, I gave it to Huang Ling. It was a token of the affection between sisters, and it was not excessive to give her a gold necklace.

Moreover, Huang Ling's family helped their family a lot, helping to take care of Lin Dongzhe and helping to guard the house.

But Huang Ling still felt embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift from Song Ying. In that era, many people would envy someone who had a gold necklace.

As the older brother and the eldest son in the family, Zhuang Tunan said that he paid for the two gold necklaces and hoped that Song Ying would not think too much about it.

He had watched Lin Dongzhe and Zhuang Xiaoting get along for such a long time and found that they had their own way of getting along. He didn't understand it at first, but after so long, as a bystander, he was able to understand Zhuang Xiaoting.

Lin Dongzhe is generous and good-tempered, while Zhuang Xiaoting is very thoughtful. They will discuss everything together. Lin Dongzhe respects Zhuang Xiaoting very much, so as an older brother he supports them being together.

After hearing what Zhuang Tunan said, Huang Ling nodded in agreement.

After this meeting, Huang Ling changed her opinion of Lin Dongzhe. After all, he was a college student from a prestigious university and the only son in the family.

This time, Lin Wufeng and Song Ying came to the house specially, and Huang Ling could also feel their love and attention for Zhuang Xiaoting. Huang Ling also began to consider the family conflicts and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, knowing that her daughter would not suffer any loss if she followed Song Ying.

Song Ying's family and Zhuang Tunan soon left Suzhou and returned to Shanghai. Huang Ling deliberately did not go to the station to see them off, but instead asked Zhuang Xiaoting to go.

Zhuang Tunan knew what his mother was thinking, which was that she valued Zhuang Xiaoting, not that she was dissatisfied with Song Ying's family.

Huang Ling suddenly turned to look at her son and said, "Tunan, your sister's matter has already been resolved, why is there no movement on your side?"

"Huh? Mom, why are you suddenly talking about me?"

"Hmph! You're not a kid anymore, it's time to think about your personal issues."

"This..." Zhuang Tunan naturally seemed a little unnatural at this moment.

Pengfei, who had met Li Jia once before, naturally heard some of the situation, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Aunt, I'm not a child anymore, why don't you think about me?"

"Hmph! You don't need me to worry about your affairs. Just let your parents worry about it."

"hey-hey……"

……

This meeting between the two families was undoubtedly very solemn. Huang Ling naturally asked Zhuang Tunan to inform Suning, but unfortunately Suning just made up an excuse to get away with it.

However, when mentioning the ruthless and ungrateful Suning, the loneliness on Zhuang Tunan's face and the sadness on Zhuang Xiaoting's face could not be concealed, which made Huang Ling, as a mother, feel particularly uncomfortable.

When Huang Ling thought about how Suning treated Pengfei and Zhuang Tunan differently, on the one hand, it strongly supported its nephew Pengfei's career development, but on the other hand, it ignored its own children. No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't help but think too much.

Then Huang Ling suddenly looked at Zhuang Tunan and asked, "Tunan, I heard that your stepmother is about to give birth soon?"

"Ah? It seems so! I'm not sure about the details." Zhuang Tunan replied with an unnatural expression, and the unwillingness in his heart was completely hidden.

Huang Ling didn't notice Zhuang Tunan's awkwardness and continued to ask, "Did you attend their wedding?"

"No! My dad didn't send Xiaoting and me an invitation. We later saw it in the newspaper. It was said to be China's first century-long luxurious wedding." "Humph! It seems that this Chen Shimei really likes his little wife."

"..." At this moment, Zhuang Tunan wanted to shout out loud, he also liked it.

Huang Ling, having made up her mind, looked at Zhuang Tunan and said, "Tunan, tell me your father's address. I have something to discuss with him."

"Ah? Mom, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry! Even if we haven't seen each other for years and I want to catch up with him, I definitely won't argue with him because I no longer have the right to argue with him."

"..."

Since Huang Ling had already noticed Suning's disregard for Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, she naturally could not bear to see her children being bullied, so she thought about doing something for her children.

……

In Shanghai, when Suning returned home, he was shocked to find his ex-wife Huang Ling appeared in his house.

At this moment, Su Ning felt very bad. He didn't understand what his ex-wife was going to do. "Huang Ling, why are you here?"

"I heard that sister Li Jia gave birth to a son, so I thought of coming over to take care of her. At least I want to take good care of her during the confinement period." However, Huang Ling explained as if nothing had happened.

"Thanks! But it's not necessary! We have plenty of housekeeping staff at home."

"How can the housekeeping staff take care of us as attentively as your own family? You and Sister Li Jia should not refuse. I just made my best Suzhou cuisine." Huang Ling said this and went to the kitchen without any hesitation.

After Huang Ling went to the kitchen, Su Ning looked at Li Jia in confusion and asked, "Li Jia, what is going on?"

"Brother, I don't know either. I thought she came to see the child, but I didn't expect her to do this." However, Li Jia was also confused and bewildered.

"This woman has never been a good person! It seems like she has something against me."

"Eh? Brother, what do you think it will be?"

"Humph! Right now, I think the only two people who can make Huang Ling use this trump card are Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting."

"..."

Li Jia did not ask what was going on with Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting, because she also noticed that Su Ning's attitude was a little strange, as if he had always been indifferent to Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting.

Since she couldn't figure out why Suning did this, she couldn't help but start to wonder if there was some inside story. She was actually very smart in hiding her curiosity.

Huang Ling quickly prepared a large table of delicious dishes, all of which were indeed her signature Suzhou dishes. "Chaoying, Li Jia, come and have dinner!"

"..." Suning and Li Jia looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces, as if Huang Ling was the owner of this place.

Su Ning looked at the bewildered Li Jia with a look of confusion and said, "Li Jia, let's go! You can also try Huang Ling's cooking skills today."

"Oh! Thank you so much, Sister Ling."

"You're welcome! Li Jia, you're young, but I've always treated you like my younger sister."

"..."

At this time, Su Ning looked at Huang Ling directly and said, "Huang Ling, stop calling each other sisters. If you have something to say, please go back."

"Zhuang Chaoying, I really just wanted to come and see Su Hao. By the way, why did you change the child's surname? Sister Li Jia's surname is not Su either?" However, Huang Ling suddenly found it very interesting to torment Su Ning like this.

Su Ning's face suddenly turned cold and he warned Huang Ling, "Huang Ling, if you mess with me like this again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

"Zhuang Chaoying, why are you so irritable right now?"

"Last chance! If you say another word of nonsense, I'll have you kicked out."

As expected, Huang Ling, having been warned by Suning, went straight to the point. "Zhuang Chaoying, why do you treat Zhuang Tunan and Zhuang Xiaoting differently?"

Then, Suning expressed his biggest complaint about "Alley People." "It's simple! I feel like these two kids don't look like me. I feel really awkward when I see them. Zhuang Tunan looks like a big fool, and Xiao Ting looks like a clumsy, scheming girl. I really don't understand why they look like this."

"Zhuang Chaoying, you bastard, are you doubting that Tunan and Xiaoting are not your biological children?"

"That's not the case! I just simply don't like them. When I see their faces, I feel really awkward. It's like they're wearing masks and it's not natural at all."

"Humph! This is all your fault, you idiot! How could this happen if you were always with the child?"

"Huang Ling, let me explain to you that I don't treat them differently. I'm supporting Pengfei because he's capable. As for Tunan, her personality makes her a good fit for development within the system. Xiaoting hasn't graduated yet, so I'll listen to her opinions when she's looking for a career. If that doesn't work out, I could send her abroad to study."

"Huh! Song Ying and Lin Wufeng went to Suzhou yesterday, why didn't you show up?"

"Same reason! I feel like Lin Dongzhe has grown up ugly too. He was so cute when he was little, but now he looks so unnatural. I don't know why Tunan, Xiaoting, and Dongzhe have grown up ugly too."

"Humph! Ridiculous."

"Alright! Now that we've talked it out, stop making trouble. Matters within the system are not something I can interfere with. I can only rely on my influence to safeguard them. There's nothing more I can do about it."

"What about Xiaoting? What do you think about her and Lin Dongzhe?"

"Let them be! I won't interfere in their affairs."

"..."

Suning really doesn't understand why the three leading actors were replaced by these three bad guys. It's like three bad apples spoiling the whole pot of soup.

The acting skills of these three bastards are not as good as those of amateur actors. The young actor who plays Pengfei alone is better than all three of them. It's really the evil capital influence and disgusting to the whole world.
