791 The old man's wishes (1 more)

A day later, Xu Ling'er came with the delivery carriage.

After getting off the carriage, I stood nervously for a while before taking a deep breath and walking to the door.

Just as she was about to talk to the doorman, Meng Cheng came out from inside and saw her. After a moment of being stunned, he looked back subconsciously. He didn't see anyone at home. He hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Xu Ling'er grabbed the clothes she brought to Ang Li in her hand. If possible, she didn't want to come. She felt ashamed of the old man's kindness to her for so many years. She lowered her head and her voice was also very low, "It was Miss Song who asked me to come."

Yue'er?

Meng Cheng's mind flashed, but he was not sure what else he wanted to say when he opened his mouth. The janitor had already come over. After calling "Three Young Master", he asked Xu Ling'er, "But Miss Xu?"

"I am."

"Miss Song has given instructions. When you come, let me take you over. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

Bypassing Meng Cheng, Xu Ling'er followed the janitor in.

After taking a look at her back, Meng Cheng walked to the carriage parked at the door. After walking for a few steps, he suddenly turned around, paused for a moment, and often walked back.

The closer she got to the old man's yard, Xu Ling'er's hands clutched her clothes tighter, and almost bite a blood mark on her lips. Since she was driven out of the Xu mansion, she has never seen the old man again. I wonder if he is in good health now?

It should be good, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come to Jinling.

But after experiencing such a thing, he must be extremely sad, so Song Wanyue took him to Jinling to relax. I wonder if his mood had dissipated.

Just as she was thinking about this, she noticed that the janitor stopped. She felt tight and stopped, looked up and saw Xu Liang standing at the door.

Before she went to the old man's yard, Xu Liang never stopped her and would not report it. Instead, he opened the curtain and let her go in quietly, giving the old man a surprise.

At this moment, Xu Liang asked the janitor to retreat, but did not look at her, and reported to her, "Old sir, the person has arrived."

"Let her come in."

When she heard this familiar voice, which was much older than she remembered, Xu Ling'er's tears were no longer controlled. At this moment, regret burst out, regretting that she was obsessed with ghosts. If she did not plot against Song Si, she would still be the old man's great-granddaughter. Even if the grandmother and uncle did, the old man would not take his anger on her. She would still be filial to the old man and call him great-grandfather.

Xu Liang raised the curtain and looked over. Seeing her face full of tears, she was in a very complicated mood. He served by the old man with many years. Xu Ling'er was the mansion he had seen the most. He could see clearly how much effort the old man had put into her. He always thought that Xu Ling'er was lucky, not the Xu family, but he was trained by the old man, but he did not expect that she would do something to plot against Song Si because of her own selfishness, regardless of the old man's teaching for many years.

Only he knew that after driving Xu Ling'er out, the old man sat in the study and didn't sleep all night.

"Get in."

Xu Ling'er subconsciously raised her foot and was about to walk in. Xu Liang stopped her and signaled her to wipe her tears. Xu Ling'er hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and walked into the house with trembling feet.

Seeing the old gentleman sitting in the main seat, he knelt down, "Ling'er pays homage to Zeng... the old gentleman."

"Get up."

The old man's voice sounded calm, but if you look closely, you can see his hand on the armrest shaking slightly.

After keeping it by my side for more than ten years, even kittens and dogs will have feelings, not to mention that Xu Ling'er has always been liked by him.

Xu Ling'er stood up holding back her tears.

"Sit down."

Xu Ling'er sat down, straightened her waist and back, and placed her hands on her clothes on her legs, and couldn't hold back the tears.

She saw that the old man's hair had turned white and he had lost a lot of weight, which was even older than when she left Xu's mansion.

"Ling'er..."

Hearing this long-lost familiar name, Xu Ling'er's tears flowed down again. If the floodwater was opened, she could no longer control it.

She had thought about what would happen when she faced the old man again. Now she knew that she could only regret, extremely regret.

He knelt down again and choked out, "I thought I would never hear you call me like this again in my life. I was wrong, it was me wrong. I shouldn't have let down your teachings and shouldn't have such thoughts. I have no face to ask you for forgiveness. I just ask you to take good care of your health."

The old man closed his eyes and suppressed the sourness in his eyes, "Get up first, I have something to say to you."

Xu Ling'er stood up with sobs, sat back on the chair, letting her tears remain.

The old man didn't speak immediately.

The house fell into silence.

Meng Cheng stood at the gate of the yard and looked inside the house.

He was suddenly slapped behind him, and his body trembled in fear. He turned around and met Song Wanyue's smiling little face. While looking in curiously as he moved, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Meng Cheng covered his frightened chest and glared at her angrily, "Does it be so scary that people are scary?"

"Who asked you to stand here secretly?"

Meng Cheng was choked. He was secretly? He was standing here openly, okay?

"My cousin hasn't told me yet, what are you looking at?"

"No, nothing"

"I, I don't believe it. I heard that my great-grandfather called Xu Ling'er over. Are you looking at her?"

"no."

Meng Cheng denied it quickly.

Song Wanyue gave him a look of obvious disbelief.

In the house, when Xu Ling'er calmed down, the old man slowly spoke, "I was disappointed when I drove you out of the mansion. Although you were not a member of the Xu family, you were named Xu family and had to teach me. I thought you would become a model of the lady of the capital like Wan'er, so I was extremely disappointed after you did that. But after all, you have been in the Xu family for many years, and I understand your character, and you are not a bad-hearted child.

I called you today to tell you that you have started over now. I don’t know you in this place, no one knows who you are, and no one will know your past. If someone likes you and you have that thought, there is no need to have too many concerns."

Xu Ling'er covered her mouth and tears gushed out again.

She thought that she was called to warn her today, warning her to be more peaceful and far away from Meng Cheng, otherwise their family would not have a place to live.

Outside.

Song Wanyue looked at Meng Cheng.

Meng Cheng was guilty of being seen and turned around and walked out as if he was escaping, "I have something to do, so I'll do it first."

Song Wanyue held him quickly with her eyes and hands, and smiled and dragged the person, "What's the hurry? The person will come out immediately, say hello and leave."
