The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

As soon as she arrived at Lingyun's door, Yanzi put her suitcase on the ground, then waved gently and flew downstairs like a nimble bird.

"I'm out of here. I'll treat you to a meal the day after tomorrow. If you dare to stand me up, you'll see what I do to you."

By the time Ling Yun realized what was happening, she had already gone down several steps.

"knew,"

Ling Yun smiled and replied.

He reached for his keys, but the door opened from the inside.

Warm light poured out of the house, illuminating my mother's familiar yet much younger face. She was wearing loungewear, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes blossomed with her smile.

Ling Yun froze on the spot, his heart feeling as if it had been violently struck by something.

This scene was so familiar that it brought tears to his eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how late he came home from school or how late he returned from Shanghai, his sharp-eared and sharp-eyed mother could always open the door for him before he could take out his keys.

However, after Lingyun spent ten years eating cornbread in Tilanqiao in his previous life, this heartwarming scene never reappeared.

My mother was already old then. Because she cried every day, her eyesight had deteriorated, and her temper had become unpredictable. She would get angry at the drop of a hat.

My dad has gone from a gentle and refined middle school teacher to an old man who sighs all day long and is full of complaints.

Scenes from both lifetimes intertwined in his mind, and Ling Yun's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

A man doesn't easily shed tears, only when he's truly heartbroken!

"I heard noises at the door and knew it was you coming back."

Mom poked her head out and scanned the stairwell.

"Is that Yanzi you're talking to? Where's the girl? How old are you, still so impulsive!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lingyun suddenly stepped forward and opened his arms to hug his mother.

"I'm back, Mom. I'll never leave again. I'll stay home with you and Dad!"

His voice was already choked with emotion as he said this.

But at least she held back her tears and didn't burst into tears on the spot.

My mother was caught off guard by the sudden hug and it took her two or three seconds to react.

Then, in a fit of anger, he slapped Ling Yun on the back.

"Let go, you brat! What's wrong with you, acting all effeminate? Did you pick up these bad habits in Shanghai?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I really shouldn't have let you stay and work in Shanghai. The water towns of Jiangnan are too effeminate!"

"Isn't that right?"

My dad's hearty laughter came from the living room.

"The environment shapes the people; we northerners are really not suited to living in the water towns of Jiangnan for long, otherwise we'll inevitably be affected."

Lingyun knew that her parents were subtly reminding her.

He should stay in the capital from now on, stay close to his parents, and not think about going to the south to cause trouble again.

It would be even more perfect if we could give them a grandson or granddaughter as soon as possible!

The next moment, Ling Yun released his mother and nodded with a smile.

"Dad, Mom, please don't worry, I really won't leave again this time."

"Okay, that makes more sense!"

"Come in quickly, stop putting on this show of maternal love and filial piety at the door."

My parents' faces lit up with smiles instantly.

Afterwards, Lingyun carried the two large suitcases into the house and closed the door behind her.

This is a small three-bedroom apartment, less than 100 square meters, with an old layout, but it is incredibly cozy and full of sweet memories.

Everything in the house is just as I remember it, except that everything is newer and more complete than it was ten years later.

Just like this home, whole and complete, not broken and fragmented.

Looking at everything familiar and vibrant before him, and at his parents, who were only in their early fifties and full of energy, Lingyun felt a warm current flowing through his heart and felt completely at ease.

Dad looked him up and down and asked with concern:

"Have Li Wen's parents given you any more trouble? That girl is really unlucky to have such parents!"

"This couple turns into monsters the moment they get involved with money."

My mom gritted her teeth and continued...

"It's a good thing you broke up with Li Wen, otherwise you'd never have a moment's peace for the rest of your life!"

She hated the couple who tried to blackmail their son and falsely accused Lingyun of rape!

Ling Yun put his arm around his mother's shoulder and shook his head with a smile.

"Don't worry, ever since I almost sued them for extortion, they haven't dared to harass me again. They're obviously scared!"

"I had lunch with Wenwen at noon. Wenwen has completely fallen out with her parents and moved out of their house. They are all alone now!"

"Good, this kind of scum deserves to be abandoned by everyone."

My mom gritted her teeth and said "Good!"

Then he pried Lingyun's hand off and walked triumphantly towards the kitchen.

"Wash your hands and get ready to eat. I'll go cook a couple of dishes; let's celebrate properly."

"Haha, my mom is still so clear about her likes and dislikes."

Ling Yun chuckled and teased.

Afterwards, he pushed his suitcase to his bedroom to wash up and change clothes.

It was past 10 p.m. when we finished dinner.

After helping his mother clear away the dishes, Lingyun turned around and went back to his bedroom.

His mother, having untied her apron and returned to the living room, stared at his retreating figure in surprise.

"Did the sun rise in the west today? Our young master, who wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle, actually knows to wash the dishes and wipe the table for me."

"You bet I am. I was wondering the same thing. This kid seems to have matured overnight."

Dad stroked his chin and sighed.

Just then, Ling Yun came out of the bedroom carrying several shopping bags.

Then he went to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and handed several luxury shopping bags to his parents.

"Mom, this is a gift for you: a classic Chanel CF bag and a Patek Philippe rose gold ladies' watch with complicated functions."

"Dad, these are your gifts: a Montblanc platinum engraved fountain pen and a Patek Philippe platinum watch with complicated functions. They're a pair with Mom's watch!"

My parents' eyes widened instantly. They looked at each other, but neither of them accepted the luxury shopping bags.

My mother swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly.

"You said these two bags contain a Chanel Classic Flap bag and a Patek Philippe rose gold watch with a complication? Did I hear you right?"

My dad stared at the logos on the shopping bag, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

"Really? Even though we're just an ordinary family, we've seen pigs run, even if we've never eaten pork!"

"These are all top-tier luxury goods, worth a fortune. You didn't just buy some high-quality fakes to amuse us, did you?"

Lingyun had anticipated her parents' reaction.

The next moment, he stuffed several shopping bags into his parents' hands and explained the situation with a smile.

"You've worked so hard your whole lives, raising me to be such an outstanding person. How could I possibly give you a counterfeit?"

"Keep them safe; they're all genuine products. Although they're quite valuable, I think they're well worth it!"

"The two Patek Philippe watches together cost over 900,000 yuan, plus the Chanel CF bag and the Montblanc platinum fountain pen, bringing the total to 1,060,000 yuan..."

"What? 106 million?"

My mom's voice instantly rose, and she exploded on the spot.

She carefully placed the two luxury shopping bags on the sofa, then grabbed Ling Yun's arm and punched him a few times with heartache.

"You little brat, you've gone too far! You think you're something special just because you've made a little money? How can you be so arrogant?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder.

"We were discussing at noon that we'd take you to look at houses in a couple of days, using the money you made in the stock market, plus our savings, to buy you a house for our wedding."

"And what did you do? You spent over a million dollars on this pile of junk. Can we even eat or drink it? It's infuriating!"

Looking at these luxury shopping bags in front of him, Dad felt both heartache and anger, and seemed ready to unleash a double whammy.

Seeing that things were going badly, Ling Yun quickly put on a smiling face and explained.

"Don't worry, both of you. I know what I'm doing. This amount of money isn't a small sum, but it won't cripple me or affect my ability to buy a house."

"If you don't believe me, I'll show you something, and you'll be relieved!"

My mom's fists immediately lightened; what was originally a back pounding motion now turned into a tickle.

"You better tell the truth, or I'll break your legs!"

"Haha, just wait and witness the miracle!"

Ling Yun smiled, got up, and returned to the bedroom.

As soon as he left, Mom picked up the two luxury shopping bags, beaming with delight as she prepared to open them and take a look.

"Wow, Chanel bags and Patek Philippe watches! I never thought I'd be able to use such top-tier luxury goods one day. It's like a dream!"

"Look how pleased you are, you're practically snotting out of your nose. I wonder who it was just now? Their face was contorted with pain."

Dad joked with a smile.

"Yes, this is a gift from my son, so even if it hurts to part with it, I'm still happy!"

Mom proudly raised her chin.
