Chapter 461: 130: Zheng Xianjing took the bait, making money to support our Mr. Mo!_5
After all, the temptation was simply too great, and Lingling didn’t want to miss out on such an amazing opportunity!
After all, didn’t life sometimes require a gamble?
Just like back then.
If she had not taken a chance then, would she have what she has now?
Xianjing followed up, saying, “But where are we going to get all that money?”
The absolute control over the Zheng family’s finances now lay in the hands of Granny Zheng. She gave Lingling eight thousand yuan every month, while Xianjing only got five thousand.
This many thousands of yuan is money that regular people could work years for and still not make, but among the wealthy, it’s just pocket change, gone in a few rounds of Mahjong.
Lingling and Xianjing, the mother and daughter with big spending habits, would each spend five to six hundreds yuan every month on skincare products. With the addition of jewelry purchases and such, their money would be gone almost as soon as they’d gotten it.
Where are they going to round up thirty thousand yuan now?
Lingling answered, “Don’t worry about the money, I’ll figure out something.”
“Mom, do you have some hidden stash of money?”
Lingling didn’t answer Xianjing directly, instead saying: “Xianjing, Were you not just about to take some tea to Granny and Granny Jiang? I’ll go with you so I can check on how Granny’s health is doing.”
Xianjing picked up on faint footsteps outside the door and said with a smile, “Okay, Mom, you don’t need to worry, Granny will be fine.”
The mother-daughter duo walked out the door to take tea to Dr. Jiang and Granny Zheng.
Dr. Jiang gave Lingling a list of food that Granny Zheng should avoid and daily practices she should pay attention to before saying her farewells.
Lingling said with a smile, “Dr. Jiang, let me see you out.”
Xianjing didn’t exactly get along with Dr. Jiang.
Ever since she had heard the conversation between Dr. Jiang and Granny Zheng, she disliked Dr. Jiang even more.
It baffled her why Lingling was so nice to Dr. Jiang.
“Xianjing, e with me to see Dr. Jiang off,” Lingling turned to Xianjing.
“Alright.” Xianjing obediently followed Lingling.
Dr. Jiang laughed very kindly and said, “Back when Xianjing was just a baby you could hold in your arms and now she has grown into such a lovely young lady.”
Lingling asked, “Xianjing, do you remember when you were a baby that Granny Jiang used to hold you?”
Xianjing laughed and said, “That was so long ago, how can I possibly remember?”
Lingling seemed dissatisfied as she glanced at Xianjing, but Dr. Jiang seemed unbothered and said, “Oh, it’s not a big deal, children have short memories.”
Lingling said, “It’s fortunate that you’re not picky with her.”
When they got to the door, Dr. Jiang stopped, “This is far enough.” She then seemed to recall something and took a bottle of medicine out of her bag. “I almost forgot; this medicine is very effective against coughing. Lingling, just put half a pill in the chicken soup when you’re making it.”
Lingling very solemnly took the bottle and said, “Thank you for your trouble, Dr. Jiang.”
Dr. Jiang laughed and said, “Your mother and I have been as close as sisters for many years, there’s no need for such courtesy.”
Lingling continued, ” Dr. Jiang, are you free tomorrow morning? I have a friend who isn’t feeling well, and I want to bring her over tomorrow.”
“Sure, I’ll see you tomorrow morning then.”
“Goodbye, Dr. Jiang,” Lingling pushed Xianjing, “Say goodbye to Granny Jiang.”
Xianjing carelessly said, “Goodbye, Granny Jiang.”
As soon as Dr. Jiang left, Lingling scolded Xianjing angrily, “Xianjing, this is a warning! From now on, you will not disrespect Granny Jiang!”
Xianjing sniffed dismissively and replied, “What’s the point in you being so nice to her? You don’t know what she says about you behind your back!”
Dr. Jiang clearly wasn’t a good person.
She said one thing to your face and another behind your back!
Lingling breathed out a sigh and gravely said, “Regardless, granny Jiang is your elder. Remember to show her respect!”
“She’s hardly an elder!” Xianjing muttered, “More like a shit-stirrer.”
Lingling’s expression darkened, “Xianjing! Do you remember who you are!”
“Sorry Mum, I was wrong!”
Lingling carried on, “Do you know that if you keep acting like this, people will say that you have no manners!”
Xianjing responded, “Mom, I only act like this around you, I never act this way around other people.”
Lingling sternly said, “You’re not allowed to behave this way around me either, habits form naturally!”
