Lady Ling's eyes were red-rimmed as she looked at her son, her heart swelling with pride and relief. Staring at the scene before her, she couldn't help but think, 'Who could have imagined all those years ago that the Ling Family's most worthless third son would one day achieve all this?'
Lady Ling gripped Ling Xiao's hand. "Xiao'Er, you've really grown up! You've changed so much I almost don't recognize you!" Over the years, Lady Ling had only grown more youthful, but her accumulated experience lent her an exceptionally graceful and noble air. Standing before Ling Xiao, anyone who didn't know their relationship would have mistaken them for a sister and her younger brother!
Looking closely, one could see traces of Lady Ling in Ling Xiao's features. Having such an outstanding son was a mother's greatest joy!
Many onlookers were deeply moved. Even Ling Su couldn't help but mumble to her father and older brother, "Mom's playing favorites! I haven't seen her this happy in years!"
