Please let the gentleman step into the pot.
“Ling Dan, Ling Shuang, deliver her to the Foo Family,” Ling Zhonglou spoke, “Tell them I want their newly developed Beautifying Pill.”
Ling Dan and Ling Shuang exchanged glances, feeling as if they had been dealt a heavy blow.
The Foo Family’s newly developed Beautifying Pill could not only preserve beauty but also extend the lifespan of an ordinary person by twenty years.
There was one stringent condition, though—only women could achieve such effects upon taking it.
The Foo Family’s elders had researched for a year and managed to produce only one such pill.
Whom Ling Zhonglou intended it for went without saying.
“The Foo Family?” Shi Fengyi panicked, “No, you can’t send me to the Foo Family!”
If she were sent back to the Foo Family, she would surely be subjected to unprecedented torture.
“You have no say in this.” Ling Zhonglou raised his hand and pressed down on Shi Fengyi’s shoulder, sealing her acupoints with an overwhelming burst of Inner Strength.
Shi Fengyi was an ancient medical practitioner, and naturally harbored Inner Strength within her.
But now, her Inner Strength was sealed, and she couldn’t even use her silver needles.
Shi Fengyi was even more shocked, “Your cultivation…”
Ling Zhonglou was only in his forties, which was very young for an ancient martial artist.
Yet Shi Fengyi could feel that Ling Zhonglou’s Inner Strength was even more profound than that of an ancient martial artist she had met who had practiced for eighty years.
Ling Zhonglou did not converse further with Shi Fengyi, “Take her away.”
Ling Dan and Ling Shuang stepped forward and restrained Shi Fengyi.
Just then, the door of the rented apartment was kicked open once again.
Or rather, it was directly knocked down.
An irate voice carried through.
“Let go of my mother or I’ll smash your damned heads in, I—”
Jiang Ran’s words got stuck.
With a “clatter”, the hammer in his hand dropped to the floor, landing precisely on his foot.
Fuck.
Why was it that as soon as he walked in, he was smacked in the face with cold dog food?
Jiang Ran’s expression soured, “Could Mr. Ling and Lady Jiang please keep your affection in check in front of the children?”
“You little brat, come here,” Ling Zhonglou released Jiang Huaping and chuckled, “You’ve really grown up, learning to protect your mother now.”
Jiang Ran huffed coldly, uninterested in engaging further.
“Your Inner Strength was in turmoil last time, and the situation was dire,” Ling Zhonglou paused before asking, “Do you know who saved you?”
Jiang Ran’s expression faltered, and he pursed his lips, “I don’t know.”
He trusted Ling Zhonglou, but with walls having ears, who knew if it would cause any trouble for Ying Zijin.
His turbulent episode was something even the various families of the Ancient medical field couldn’t cure.
Jiang Ran was well aware of what should be said and what should not.
“I expected you wouldn’t know,” Ling Zhonglou patted his head, slinging an arm brotherly over his shoulder, “Let’s go, daddy will take you out for a meal, invite a few of your close friends too.”
**
Verdant Middle School.
Class 19.
Jiang Ran did not attend class that morning.
This would have been normal in the past, but now, Xiu Yu was concerned that he might be in trouble.
She frowned, “Daddy Ying, could that guy have wrecked my racing car and met with disaster?”
Ying Zijin also furrowed her brows, “I’ll make a phone call.”
Unable to use her Divine Calculation, she also couldn’t determine Jiang Ran’s exact location.
No sooner had the call connected than an excited voice came through from the other end.
“Dad! My dear dad!”
Ying Zijin mercilessly hung up the call.
That cheerful tone alone told her there was nothing wrong.
She could even picture Jiang Ran’s tail wagging joyously.
Seconds later, Ying Zijin’s phone rang again.
This time it was from Jiang Huaping.
“Little Zijin, Jiang Ran’s father has come, and if you’re free, we’d like to invite you, little Yunshen, and little Yu to dinner as a family gathering. What do you say?”
“Alright,” Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, “Just tell me the time and place.”
“How about tonight,” Jiang Huaping said, “at Drunken Maple Forest. It’s a Pure Vegetarian Restaurant. If you’re not accustomed to it, we can change it.”
“No problem, I’m fine with anything,” Ying Zijin noted down the location and time, then sent a message to Fu Yunshen.
“Looks like Jiang Ran hasn’t escaped his dad’s wrath,” Xiu Yu clicked her tongue, “We get to freeload a meal today, I’m so happy.”
When school was out in the afternoon, Ying Zijin and Xiu Yu left together.
As they reached the school gate, they ran into Ying Yuexuan, but neither paid her any mind.
Ying Yuexuan clenched her schoolbag strap and walked up to a car.
There stood a Noble Lady.
Ying Yuexuan addressed her, “Madam Yuan.”
After sending that computer program to Mong Ru last time, she’d personally made a trip to Shanghai City.
Mong Ru also appreciated Ying Yuexuan and planned to foster her talents.
“School’s out,” Mong Ru nodded her head, her demeanor rather warm, “I’m taking you to meet a professor from the computer science department at Imperial Capital University. Get in the car.”
“Madam Yuan, hold on,” Ying Yuexuan finally made up her mind, “I have something to ask my sister.”
“That foster daughter?” Mong Ru followed Ying Yuexuan’s gaze, but was stunned by what she saw, “She’s really pretty.”
After saying this, she shook her head.
What’s the use of being pretty?
Not like Ying Yuexuan who knew computer programming.
Mong Ru glanced and lost interest immediately.
Ying Yuexuan quickly approached, blocking Ying Zijin’s path, “Sister, have you seen our brother? I have something to ask him, could you please pass him a message?”
Ever since the day Ying Tianlv dismissed the butler and spoke those words, Ying Yuexuan had felt an unprecedented sense of fear.
She felt that she had completely lost a relative.
The distress Ying Yuexuan experienced was genuine.
Ying Tianlv had always been kind to her, and to face such a drastic turnaround was unbearable for anyone.
Ying Zijin didn’t even lift her eyes and walked straight past Ying Yuexuan.
Xiu Yu, naturally, was even less inclined to bother.
Mong Ru narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, observing the girl with a detached air, “Your sister greeted you and asked for your help, yet you ignored her. Is this the kind of manners you were taught? Is this how your family raised you?”
What do you think?
