Chapter 315: Chapter 315: You’re Oversimplifying Things

Meanwhile, in the restaurant of a five-star hotel in Imperial Capital.

Ding Liang and his mother, Guo Yueling, were enjoying the fine dining provided by the hotel.

Ever since they were bumped into by Ding Lijuan at the Hilton Hotel last time, they had moved to this hotel to live, not wanting to be dragged down by Ding Lijuan again.

Just then, Ding Liang’s phone rang.

Seeing that it was Ding Lijuan calling, Ding Liang’s face immediately dropped.

Guo Yueling, sitting next to him, also started cursing, "What’s going on, has this woman still not had enough!"

"I saw her begging on the street with her husband a couple of days ago, and now she’s calling you, probably wants to ask you for money, right?"

Ding Liang snorted, "She must be dreaming! If she wants money, I have to be willing to give it to her first!"

Guo Yueling agreed, "Exactly, calling her aunt, and she really thinks she’s your mother! She is truly too presumptuous."

"I think, we might as well just block her number, after all, she can’t rely on us anymore and will only drag us down!"

Ding Liang was slightly more farsighted than Guo Yueling.

"She can’t rely on us, but Han Jingting does have some abilities; who knows, she might just hit the jackpot someday."

He thought for a while and finally said, "Forget it, Mom, you answer it for me, just say I’m busy and ask her what she wants first."

"Okay!"

Guo Yueling immediately pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Xiao Liang, have you eaten yet? How have you been recently? Is work tiring?"

Ding Lijuan began with a series of concerned questions.

Guo Yueling rolled her eyes and feigned a smile, "Big sister, Xiao Liang is busy serving dishes to customers right now, what do you need?"

Ding Lijuan was overjoyed, "I have good news for you, our house has been reclaimed! We have a place to live again!"

"What? Really?!" Guo Yueling was astonished.

Ding Liang, sitting beside, also perked up, setting down his utensils and listening intently.

Ding Lijuan: "Of course, Jingting not only helped us reclaim the house but also gave us twenty thousand yuan!"

"We have money again, no need to endure hardships outside anymore, tell Xiao Liang to come back and live with us quickly!"

Upon hearing that Ding Lijuan got the house back and got some money, Guo Yueling’s attitude was clearly much better than before.

"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell Xiao Liang the news later, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Yueling was still muttering, "This big sister is really lucky!"

Ding Liang snorted coldly, "It’s not her luck, it’s because she has a good daughter!"

Ding Liang was much sharper than Guo Yueling.

The house owned by Ding Lijuan was worth at least two or three million, and Han Jingting had managed to reclaim it so easily; this indicated that Han Jingting had much more than this sum in her hands!

Perhaps, Han Jingting had already found a better opportunity, which was why she was spending so generously!

In turn, he saw another chance to amass wealth for himself by leveraging Han Jingting!

Ding Liang had no great abilities of his own, and to make a name for himself through his own efforts was truly beyond him.

However, what he was best at was climbing high on others’ shoulders, which was both effortless and straightforward.

"Xiao Liang, do you mean we should go back to their side?" Guo Yueling asked.

"Of course, we should go back! Based on my estimation, Han Jingting must already have a better opportunity by now, and our return now would be a great chance!"

"And besides, we’ve stayed in a five-star hotel for so long, our money is almost spent. Now that there’s a place to live for free, isn’t it a waste not to stay?"

Guo Yueling was ecstatic. "You’re so right! I’ll go pack our things right now!"

Ding Liang hurriedly said, "We can’t take any of our stuff; it’s too expensive and too flashy, it’ll definitely raise suspicion with Auntie and the rest."

"Plus, we need to change our clothes and appearance, the worse the better, to make it more convincing!"

Guo Yueling had an epiphany, "You’re right, our Xiao Liang is indeed the cleverest!"

An hour later, Ding Liang and Guo Yueling knocked on the door of their home in Fenghua Residential Area.

When Ding Lijuan opened the door, she was immediately stunned by the scene before her.

She saw Ding Liang and Guo Yueling dressed as hotel staff, their clothes covered in grease stains, with their hair so oily it looked like it hadn’t been washed in half a month, presenting a pitiable sight.

"Auntie, I’ve missed you so much!" Tears streamed down Ding Liang’s face in an instant.

Ding Lijuan was also overcome with distress.

"Auntie missed you too!"

Ding Lijuan hugged Ding Liang tightly, "My Xiao Liang, how did you end up like this?"

Guo Yueling started to sob and complain, "Big sister, you have no idea what we’ve been through."

"Xiao Liang works three jobs every day, from four in the morning till midnight, so tired that he’s hardly himself anymore!"

Ding Lijuan was surprised. "Why work so hard? Isn’t it enough to just earn enough money for you two to spend?"

Guo Yueling sighed and said helplessly, "Big sister, you don’t understand, Xiao Liang is working so hard all for you!"

"For me?" Ding Lijuan was puzzled.

"Yes, for you!"

"Xiao Liang knows you’ve been having a hard time, so he said he’d earn more money, to provide for your old age!"

"Look, this is the money he’s earned recently!"

As she spoke, Guo Yueling took out a plastic bag from her pocket, opened it, and displayed a wad of cash. Aside from a few hundred-yuan bills, there were fifties, twenties, and even a one-yuan and fifty-cent coin.

Crinkled and dirty, it looked as humble as can be.

Guo Yueling continued, "Xiao Liang has been skimping on food and clothes, saving up all this money just to honor you!"

"He had planned to send the money to you in a couple of days; little did we know you had made a comeback."

"Well, it’s good, anyway. It finally puts Xiao Liang and me at ease!"

Of course, all these touching words were taught by Ding Liang to Guo Yueling.

Hearing Guo Yueling’s story and looking at the crumpled money in the bag, Ding Lijuan was deeply moved to tears, hugging Ding Liang and sobbing.

"Xiao Liang! My good Xiao Liang! Auntie’s love wasn’t wasted on you! Wuuu..."

"Auntie, please don’t cry, see, I’m fine," Ding Liang pleaded.

Guo Yueling also advised, "Right, let’s go inside and talk."

"Yes, yes, yes, come in, come in!"

Ding Lijuan finally wiped her tears and led Ding Liang and Guo Yueling into the house.

"It’s really Jingting we can count on, if not for her, your aunt and I would still be homeless and uncared for on the streets!"

Once they were inside, Han Bowwen began to lament intentionally, meant for Ding Liang to hear.

Yet, Ding Liang just gave a bitter smile and said with deep meaning, "Uncle, although I don’t want to speculate wildly, it seems like you’re simplifying things too much..."
