Chapter 55 The Ling Family
After throwing the driver out of the car, James sat in the driver's seat. It seemed that he was going to
drive back to the Ling Family.
Looking at what was happening just now, Lily was confused, not knowing what was going on. She
didn't know why James expel the driver. 'It is cold outside, and there are few cars on the road. From the
villa to the downtown, it is far. Standing on the roadside, the driver might be frozen.'
In a Lily's impression, James was not that kind of person who would easily lose his temper. Probably
there was a reason behind it.
Hence, all Lily could do was to sit in the back seat and watching James driving.
James drove the car absent-mindedly. Fortunately, it was New Year's Eve. There were few cars on the
street. After driving for a while, they arrived at the Ling Family.
Before the car stopped, Lily had seen the Ling Family's old house through the car window.
This villa was different from James's villa full of quietness and elegance. This villa was unsophisticated
and dignified. Perhaps because of the lawn and swimming pool in the villa, the Ling Family's house
didn't make people have sense of distance.
Seeing that the car drove into the gate of the Ling Family, Shirley walked out at once. She was
surprised to find that James was driving. "James, why are you driving? I have asked the driver to pick
you up! Where's the driver? "
James opened the door and stepped out. He said casually, "I don't want to see him again."
She knew that James wasn't a man who liked to stir up trouble, but she guessed that he might be
displeased by something the driver had done. Never mind. She was only a driver. Compared with
James and Lillias, the driver was nothing at all.
James opened the door for Lily and watched her getting off.
Shirley hurried forward and grabbed her arm. "Lily. I'm glad you're here. Come on in with me. It's cold
outside. "
Lily tried to withdraw her hand as she didn't adapt. But seeing that Shirley was so enthusiastic, she had
to behave restrained.
After taking two steps, she looked up and found a lot of people standing in front of her. Men and
women had different expressions, some were surprised, some were curious and some were disdainful.
However, all of them had one common goal that was Lily.
"What are you doing here! Come on in. It's warm inside. Go and make tea, Esther. " Shirley felt Lily's
tension and thought of dispersing those standing at the door first.
Lily finally entered the living room and sat down. Although the living room of the Ling Family was large,
it was still a little crowded now.
Several pairs of eyes was on Lily. Being nervous, Lily didn't show any interest to appreciate the Ling
Family. Instead, Lily sat straight beside James and carefully observed the atmosphere around her.
It seemed that this was because the whole family gathered together on New Year's Eve, and some of
them were younger generation, there was a faint smile on Jonathan's face. Although Jonathan did not
show much enthusiasm towards Lily, at least he would not frown when looked at Lily.
"Come on. Lily, have some fruits." The table was full of food. Thinking of Lily's coming, Shirley wanted
to give all the delicious food to her. Thinking of what she promised James, Shirley didn't intend to
introduce Lily's identity. But before Lily came, she had told everyone in advance that they shouldn't ask
the inappropriate things, shouldn't say the inappropriate things and shouldn't think the inappropriate
things.
"Brother, why are you go back home during the Spring Festival this year?" The man who spoke was
actually James' brother, who was Cleve. The reason why he asked so was not because he was
affectionate, but because he was a little defensive. He thought carefully about why James hadn't been
at home for so many years, but why did he come back this year? What was his purpose?
James had no special feelings for his brother. He looked away, saying, "it's none of your business."
"You! 'James! What do you mean? " Cleve was annoyed. 'For so many years, James's attitude towards
me is still the same. James is still high and always blocked in front of me. Even every time others
talked about Ling Family, they thought of James. We are both children of Ling Family, Why can he be
the special one. '
"Who taught you to call me by my name? You only grow courage rather than competence. " James's
eyes coldly fell on Cleve, without emotion.
"Brother, Cleve was not intentional. Don't take it to your heart," The speaker was Cleve's wife, Rachel.
"Humph!" Jonathan snorted, "You are not embarrassed to say your younger brother. You are so
capable, but I haven't seen you... Well... Well...You won't listen. " Originally Jonathan wanted to say
that James was not married yet when he was at this age. But since Lillias was there, Jonathan thought
it would be improper to say this topic in front of children. He decided not to continue saying.
"What do you talking about? Come on, Lily. This is Molly. Play with it. It is obedient. " Shirley went out
and brought in a new member, which was three-year-old Molly.
Molly was a golden retriever, and it was obedient. It was brought up by Shirley. At ordinary times,
Shirley would not let others touch Molly. Moreover, Molly liked to follow Shirley and seldom played with
others. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Lily was only a child, when she saw a dog, her nervous and cautious eyes suddenly were lit up.
When she was single in her childhood, Lily always thought that she could have a dog to accompany
her. But she only thought that. How could she took care of a dog since she even couldn't take care of
herself then.
But now, she saw the meek and obedient Molly. She liked Molly from the bottom of her heart.
The most amazing thing was that it seemed that it wasn't the first time for Molly to see Lily. Molly took
the initiative to play with Lily in the presence of so many people. It ran to Lily, put its hands on Lily's
knees, and shook its tail quickly to show its inner joy. It lowered its head, opened its big mouth and
breathed.
"Oh, Edgar, you like soft woman. Lily, Molly requires you to stroke it. Let me tell you. You are the first
one who can make Molly ask for stroke besides me. " Seeing that Molly looked so happy, Shirley was
surprised at Molly's response, but she was also very happy.
After hearing what Shirley said, Lily give off a sweet smile, and her happy mood was almost
overflowing. She raised her hand, slowly put it on the head of Molly and stroked it. The hair being
touched, Molly narrowed her eyes happily.
Seeing that Molly and Lily played happily, James was in a good mood. He knew that Molly was a meek
dog, but it would not play with someone initiatively. James's seldom going back to the Ling Family,
Molly just stood aside and shook its head.
Seeing that Molly was so fond of Lily, James thought it was not bad.
However, this scene was somewhat glaring in the eyes of others.
