Chapter 1200: Begin Your Performance（8）

Eric finally relaxed when he saw that Lina wasn’t questioning him any further but had taken his advice like she usually did.

“Mom!” At this time, Xu Cheng suddenly shouted the word “mom,” and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.

Lina looked at Xu Cheng. It was clear that she did not like it when Xu Cheng acknowledged her as her mom.

“Do you not like it when I call you that?” When she saw Lina’s expression, Xu Cheng purposely lowered her head, pretending to be upset. Then she lifted her eyes and looked at Lina pitifully.

In reality, Xu Cheng was already over 30. She was older than Ruan Zeyan and did not pay much attention to her health. Although she knew how to put on makeup, all of the makeup that she applied was inexpensive and could not cover the wrinkles on her forehead, which were deeper than Lina’s.

Therefore, when Xu Cheng began to act like a girl who was acting cute, spoiled, and pitiful, it seemed as if she was violating some sort of rule. Lina felt extremely oppressed when she heard Xu Cheng call her mom in a tone she believed to be innocent.

Although it was Eric who told Xu Cheng to replace Ling Tianya’s identity, even he could not bear the way Xu Cheng was acting.

Xu Cheng probably really thought that she was a woman in her twenties. She was copying the way Ling Tianya would act cute in front of Wang Yazhi and was acting that way in front of Lina.

The two of them were completely different classes of people. Even when they did the same thing, it would have opposite effects. By acting like this, she would be unable to receive affection from others and was simply making a fool of herself.

Especially since Lina was suspicious of Eric and Xu Cheng, in Lina’s heart, she could not think of Xu Cheng as her biological daughter.

Despite this, Lina still controlled the disgust that she felt and reached out to caress Xu Cheng’s stiff and coarse hair. “Not at all. I’m just not used to it.”

“Oh.” Xu Cheng nodded, not doubting Lina’s words.

“How about this? Your adoptive mother is still here. If your adoptive mother hears you call me ‘mom,’ she will probably be upset. Therefore, before we leave this place, you should continue calling me Miss Li. That way, your adoptive mother will feel better. After all, she raised you for so long. Although you have many habits that I don’t like, in my heart, I am still thankful to her.”

Lina spoke gently and warmly, and all of her words and sentences seemed to be filled with concern for Xu Cheng’s adoptive mother. In reality, Lina simply did not want to hear Xu Cheng call her mom.

Truthfully, Xu Cheng also felt a little weird calling Lina “mom.” After all, she was not related to Lina by blood. The reason she called Lina “mom” was that she wanted to enhance their relationship and call forth the motherly love in Lina’s heart.

Xu Cheng did not feel that there was anything wrong with Lina’s words, and she cheerfully answered, “Okay, I understand.”

“Speaking of your adoptive mother, now that the test results have arrived, I think that it is about time I pay her a visit.” Lina looked at Eric. “Go arrange for me to meet Xu Cheng’s adoptive mother this afternoon. I want to properly...” Lina paused, an unseen coldness flickered in her eyes, “thank her!”

It was understandable that Lina would want to meet Huang Ying. Eric did not suspect anything and immediately arranged for the two to meet.

For the sake of convenience, he arranged the meeting place to be in the lobby of the hotel that Lina was staying at.
