After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 270: Shengsheng Called Jiang Ting Mom

Jiang Ting’s words were ostensibly directed at Aunt Li and the others, but it was actually an opportunity for her to take a shot at the other servants of the Li Family.

After all, it was only her first visit today, and she had already heard the servants gossiping about Lu Sheng. If she didn’t set them straight, who knows how they might slight Shengsheng in their hearts in the future.

Jiang Ting’s words were fierce, and she wholeheartedly regarded Lu Sheng as her own child. The way she called her "my daughter" was quite natural and truly heartfelt.

However, just as her words fell and the surrounding area quieted down, from behind in the bedroom, there suddenly came a soft "Mom..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting’s movements halted instinctively, and everyone else turned their heads too.

They saw a girl with somewhat messy black hair scattered over her shoulders, wearing a white nightgown and with a fever-reducing patch attached, who had woken up at some point and was standing behind them.

Her complexion was somewhat pale, and her thick, long hair concealed her delicate little face the size of a palm. She appeared slender and frail, and her right hand still held an IV bottle that was administering fluids.

"Shengsheng? How come you..."

Jiang Ting originally wanted to ask Lu Sheng how she had woken up, and then suddenly realized the term of address the girl had just used.

She was absolutely stunned, and the next second, her nose tingled sharply, somewhat dumbfounded she asked, "...Shengsheng, what did you just call me?"

Since Lu Sheng came to Jiang City and joined the Lu Family, she had always called Lu Chengye "Dad" and referred to her five brothers as "Brother."

But she always addressed Jiang Ting as Aunt Jiang.

Only in the presence of outsiders would Lu Sheng call her "Mother." However, such a term of address, while respectful, was not intimate.

Initially, Jiang Ting wished Lu Sheng wouldn’t call her at all; even being called "Mother" felt like bad luck to her.

But later on, after Jiang Ting started treating Lu Sheng as her own child, every time she heard her being called Aunt Jiang, she thought how nice it would be if Lu Sheng would call her ’Mom’ like her other sons.

But now, did Lu Sheng actually just call her "Mom"?

Lu Sheng was awakened by Aunt Li’s sobbing voice outside the door.

Lying on the broad and soft bed, her lightly furrowed brow moved, and she forced her eyes open.

The first thing she saw was the familiar ceiling of Li Muchen’s bedroom. She felt something was wrong when she tried to move her hand, and turning her head, she saw she was receiving an IV.

Turning her head again, she saw everyone outside the bedroom. It seemed that apart from Li Muchen, Jiang Ting and her brothers were also there, and their voices carried into the room.

Her memory still stuck in the dining room, she had no idea why she was here now.

Similarly, feeling an unusual heat in her body, Lu Sheng didn’t know if her head was fuzzy from the previous unconsciousness or from the fever, but she felt extremely groggy.

With great effort, she concentrated and listened carefully to what the people outside were saying.

In a few words, she figured out that a servant of the Li Family had badmouthed her and Jiang Ting had heard it, and now Jiang Ting was reprimanding them to prevent such incidents from happening again.

In her past life as Bai Qiang, she spent ten years alone without much contact with any elder.

In this life, her brothers almost pampered her to the skies, but this affection from her brothers was different from a mother’s love.

So hearing Jiang Ting’s words outside, Lu Sheng indeed felt a burst of warmth in her heart.

Therefore, she propped herself up from the bed and, barefoot, carried the IV bottle to the door and called out.

But Lu Sheng didn’t expect that her call of "Mom" would completely unsettle Jiang Ting, who had just been reproaching others fiercely. Her whole demeanor softened immediately.

Even looking at her, her eyes seemed a bit red: "...Shengsheng, what did you call me?"

Truly a person who was cold on the outside but warm inside.

So, Lu Sheng spoke again, her voice hoarse from the fever and with a slight nasal sound: "Mom, I don’t care what others say, you don’t need to say so much to them."

Hearing Lu Sheng call her "Mom" again, making sure she hadn’t misheard,

Jiang Ting sniffled and quickly approached, trying to conceal her excitement and couldn’t help but scold: "You child, how can you wake up and not call anyone, and come out here barefoot!"

She then quickly called out to Li Muchen and her sons, "Muchen, quick, go and carry her back to the bed. And Si Yan, quickly hold the IV bag for Shengsheng, she’s holding it so low it might end up inflating the vein!"

Seeing Lu Sheng awake, everyone outside immediately sprang into action.

Without needing her to instruct, the moment Li Muchen saw the girl awake, he had already rushed over to Lu Sheng’s side.

"Woken up and didn’t call me?" Li Muchen took a deep breath, stooped down to pick up the barefoot girl, and said softly, "Don’t talk now, I’ll carry you back to bed first."

"I’m going to get Shengsheng some water!" Lu Youye quickly got moving.

"I’ll redo the bed." Lu Youming headed towards the bed too.

"Sweetie," Lu Ziye immediately came over too, ruffling Lu Sheng’s slightly messy hair, "Your brother is here, don’t worry about anything."

In this scene, the girl could certainly be said to be the apple of everyone’s eye.

With Lu Sheng awake, who would care about Aunt Li and Aunt Wang outside? All the attention was placed on her.

And before turning to carry her, Li Muchen gave Chen An, who had come over upon hearing the commotion, a cold look.

Signaling him to deal with the two servants properly.

In fact, without Li Muchen’s instructions, Chen An also knew that these two servants couldn’t be let off easily.

He truly thought these two were incredibly stupid.

Anyone in this house with a bit of insight could see that the girl was the most precious treasure, including for Li Muchen, who held her dear in his heart.

To talk behind the girl’s back, calling her pretentious and a bastard, was simply asking for death. Servants who loved to gossip and stir up trouble like this would never find work in the households of rich people in Jiang City anymore.

As Li Muchen laid the girl down on the bed and let her lean against it, everyone immediately formed a circle around her.

Lu Jingyan was worried and couldn’t help but ask, "Shengsheng, what on earth happened tonight? Who did you go to meet? How did you end up fainting? And how come you have a fever?"

"Shengsheng has just woken up, why are you asking so many questions!"

Jiang Ting looked displeasedly at her eldest son and immediately softened her tone when speaking to Lu Sheng.

"Shengsheng, are you feeling very uncomfortable right now? If you are, rest first; we can talk when you feel better."

"That’s right! Shengsheng hasn’t even had any water yet, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke." freёnovelkiss.com

Lu Youye held the cup, blew on the steam, and cautiously brought the cup to Lu Sheng’s lips, "Shengsheng, be good, we’ll ignore big brother! Drink some water first."
