Cutesy Wife Sweet Like Honey: Mr. Mu's Nightly Dote!

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1178: Escape

”But, if I run away, what if she really sues us? We could end up in a legal dispute! And, we’ve secretly kept the alimony she gave Yueyue; no matter how you look at it, we’re in the wrong. If it goes to court, then...!” At this point, Ling’s father dared not continue speaking!

Although he’s a rural man, he has a TV. Once the farm work is done, and he has free time, he likes watching TV shows. Whether it’s legal talks or some TV dramas, they’ve mentioned financial disputes! Though he hasn’t personally experienced such matters, he understands them to some degree!

If Ling Shenglan really sues them, they’re bound to lose.

Ling’s mother couldn’t help but roll her eyes irritably and said, ”What do you mean, ’what if’? How can you be so stupid! Just because she says she gave Yueyue alimony, did she really give it? What evidence does she have? Does she have a receipt? A written agreement? I’m telling you, no matter what you do, you must have evidence. She doesn’t have any proof, just because she says something does the judge believe her? It’s foolish! So, hurry back, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”

”Well...!” Listening to Ling’s mother, Ling’s father suddenly felt that what she said made sense.

In court, everything is about evidence! As long as he and his wife firmly say she didn’t give alimony, didn’t give them a dime, even if she can argue well, the judge won’t believe her!

As if guessing Ling’s father’s thoughts, Ling’s mother continued, ”Besides, she wants to ask us to return the living expenses Yueyue gave us, based on what? We are Yueyue’s nominal parents; her giving us living expenses is perfectly reasonable. Even for foster parents, giving money is natural, if it comes to court, she can’t argue with that!”

After hearing Ling’s mother’s words, Ling’s father nodded and spoke seriously, ”What you say seems reasonable!”

Ling’s mother couldn’t help but say, ”What do you mean ’seems reasonable’? It’s very reasonable! I tell you, when I dared to do it, I anticipated this consequence, and I surely planned my way out! Furthermore, though she’s that brat’s biological mother, does she dare to say it to that brat? Isn’t she afraid that brat would hate her and disown her? So, ultimately, Ling Shenglan doesn’t dare to bring this thing out in the open. We can just live our carefree and happy life; what are you afraid of!”

After seriously contemplating Ling’s mother’s words, he felt she was absolutely right and nodded vigorously, ”Right, right, you’re right; hearing your words puts me at ease! In that case, I’ll pack my bags and head back immediately; facing Shenglan every day here, I’m on the verge of breaking down, wishing I could find a hole to hide in!”

”If you had told me earlier, nothing would have happened, and you could have returned long ago! Look at how timid you are; really it’s disappointing, it was me who favored you enough to marry you, look at your cowardly state, besides me, who else would marry you!” After saying her piece, Ling’s mother didn’t forget to criticize Ling’s father.

”Yes, yes, you’re amazing and smart, dear wife! I’m heading back now; I can’t stand staying here for another minute!” He said this, then greeted Ling’s mother before hanging up the phone! He then quickly returned to his room, packed his already scanty belongings, opened the door, stuck his head out, saw Ling Shenglan wasn’t outside, and swiftly left with his bag.

Afraid of meeting Ling Shenglan while waiting for the elevator, immediately after exiting his room, Ling’s father dashed toward the stairs, descending as quickly as possible, and hailed a taxi outside the hotel, heading straight for the train station without looking back!

Ling Shenglan was completely unaware of Ling’s father’s departure, instead focused entirely on what first-time meeting gift to buy for her granddaughter tomorrow!

......

Before eight the next morning, Ling Shenglan was already standing at the hotel entrance with the purchased gift in hand waiting!

It didn’t take long before a black Maybach stopped in front of her! The driver opened the door, got out, approached Ling Shenglan, bowed slightly, and politely asked, ”Are you madam’s aunt? I’m Liu, the Huo Family’s chauffeur, and our family’s gentleman sent me to pick you up!”

”Yes, I am Yueyue’s aunt! Thank you!” After exchanging some pleasantries with the driver, he opened the rear door, gesturing for Ling Shenglan to get in.

Ling Shenglan nodded at the driver, bent down, and sat inside!

The driver returned to his seat and drove her toward the villa!

Sitting in the back, Ling Shenglan glanced at driver Liu through the rearview mirror, slightly squinted, and smiled tentatively, ”You must be Liu! I’d like to ask, is your master and madam’s relationship very good?”

The driver paid attention to the road ahead while truthfully responding, ”Yes! From their marriage up till now, their relationship has been very good!”

Ling Shenglan continued, ”To what extent?”

Liu’s eyes reflected a brief awkwardness, then he composed himself, earnestly saying, ”These are madam and gentleman’s private matters; we as servants have no right to inquire. Moreover, I’m just a chauffeur; generally, I only appear when the gentleman and madam need me, so I’m unaware to what extent their feelings are good!”

Being addressed like this by Liu, Ling Shenglan realized she may have overstepped, promptly apologizing, ”Sorry, I asked too much. I was just concerned about my niece and wanted to know if she’s doing well!”

After a glance at Ling Shenglan through the rearview mirror, the driver remained silent.

Shortly, they arrived at the villa area, and after driving a bit more within, they finally stopped at the Huo Family Villa entrance.

Once the driver honked twice, the villa gates opened, and he immediately drove into the garage, got out, and opened the car door for Ling Shenglan, gesturing for her to follow him, ”Please follow me, Madam Ling, I’ll take you inside!”

”Okay, thank you!” Ling Shenglan nodded, following the driver from the garage to the villa!

Upon exiting the garage, Ling Shenglan clearly surveyed the situation of the villa! Instantly, she was stunned by the luxurious scene before her! In front of the sprawling villa lay a large garden, which had everything: corridors, pavilions, various flowers and plants, even a swing! It took at least ten minutes to walk from the entrance to the villa’s main house, a true testament to the size of the villa!

Having already been amazed outside, Ling Shenglan was even more shocked and speechless upon entering the villa’s main house!
