This son had always been Liu Xiyunâs biggest concern since he was young. He was her only child, and to her, this child was the one she valued the most.
But she didnât know when Ling Jing had stopped being close to her, let alone Ling Xin.
It was already good that the father and son didnât turn against each other. Ling Jing didnât want to take over the Ling family business at all, but the more he didnât want it, the more the old master liked to give it to him.
Ling Jing made a scene last time, but Ling Xin gave him more things to do.
This made his face look very bad. It was the new year, but he sat there as if he was collecting debts.
Liu Xiyun called him a few times, but he didnât hear it. In the end, Ling Xin was annoyed.
âWhatâs your attitude? Itâs the New Year. Who are you putting on a face for?â
Ling Jing finally came back to his senses and looked in Ling Xinâs direction. He was looking at him too. Not only Ling Xin, but also his illegitimate children.
There were five of them in total. Even if they gathered a table of Mahjong, they could have one more referee.
Speaking of which, the situation of the Ling family could be considered complicated.
It was the current head of the Ling family, Ling Xin, who was also Ling Jingâs father. When he was young, he was very flirtatious and loved to play.
After all, the family background of the Ling family was there. To be able to give birth to a child like Ling Jing, Ling Xinâs looks were naturally not bad.
Thus, Ling Xin was especially flirtatious. It was fine if he was flirtatious. He was especially not careful. When he was happy, he wouldnât even think about taking any measures.
Thus, before the marriage was settled, these illegitimate children were all going out one after another.
In just a few short years, Ling Xin had given birth to five children.
The eldest, Ling Cheng, the second, Ling Hong, the third, Ling You, the fourth, Ling Han, and the fifth, Ling Fei.
The five children were all boys without exception. Moreover, at that time, the mothers of each child thought that they had given birth to the children of the Ling family and had the chance to marry into the Ling family and become the matriarch of the Ling family.
However, Ling Xin was still very clear about what he was doing.
Although he liked all these women, he had no intention of marrying any of them. It was just a game. It was already a reflection of his responsibility to give the children a status and bring them up in the Ling family.
With such a premise, although those women tried their best to enter the Ling family, none of them succeeded.
As for Ling Xin, he was also satisfied with such a life. Until she met Liu Xiyun.
Who Was Liu Xiyun? She came from a wealthy family, but in the end, with her own hard work, she fought her way through the entertainment industry and finally got the Double Best Actress award.
In an accident, Ling Xin, who was attending the award ceremony, met Liu Xiyun by chance. It was amazing. She launched a crazy pursuit.
In Ling Xinâs opinion, there was no woman he could not woo. Unfortunately, Liu Xiyun did not like him at all.
Not only did she not like him, but she also looked down on him. Especially after knowing that he had four illegitimate children before he got married, she did not like Ling Xin very much.
However, things in this world were really so strange.
The more Liu Xiyun did not like Ling Xin, the more she did not like him. The more he liked Liu Xiyun, the more he wanted to make Liu Xiyun look at her again.
As the head of the Ling family, Ling Xin had money, status, and status. It was easy for him to woo a woman. He felt that this was the easiest thing to do.
However, he did not expect that he would really kick an iron plate with Liu Xiyun.
As a newly promoted movie queen, Liu Xiyun had a lot of contracts and movie contracts in her hands. She did not lack money at all, and she did not need to marry into a rich family to give her face.
Especially for a man like Ling Xin, who had an illegitimate child before he got married, she looked down on him even more.
However, she looked down on Ling Xin, but Ling Xin wanted Liu Xiyun desperately.
All kinds of pursuits, all kinds of tricks. All the methods that men could use to chase a woman had been used.
However, Liu Xiyun was unmoved. Later, the matter of Ling Xin liking Liu Xiyun was found out by his sworn enemy. His sworn enemy kidnapped Liu Xiyun and let Ling Xin choose to give up the European route and some of his businesses.
Liu Xiyun admitted that she had always given Ling Xin a cold face. Even if Ling Xin liked her, how could he give up his career for her?
But unexpectedly, Ling Xin really did it. Signing the contract and transferring it. He didnât even frown.
âIf I, Ling Xin, canât even protect my own woman, what use do I have for Money?â
Just like that, Ling Xin moved Liu Xiyun. She finally nodded and agreed to his pursuit.
However, agreeing was one thing, but being together was another. Considering Ling Xinâs previous bad record, Liu Xiyun refused to believe him, so she still didnât agree to marry Ling Xin.
They hadnât held a wedding, nor had they gone to get a certificate. But this didnât affect Liu Xiyunâs position in Ling Xinâs heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had announced early on that Liu Xiyun was the matriarch of the Ling family. And the Ling Jing that Liu Xiyun gave birth to was the only heir of the Ling family.
This was also why, to put it bluntly, Ling Jing was also a child born out of wedlock. But in the Ling family, it was an existence that no one dared to offend.
Although that was the case, because Liu Xiyun had never agreed to marry Ling Xin, Ling Jingâs status was higher than his five older brothers, but the other five people had always been unconvinced.
They were all born out of wedlock, so who was more noble than who?
They were unconvinced of Ling Jing, especially after Ling Jing took over many businesses in the family. They became even more jealous.
Ling Jing was protected by Ling Xin, and Liu Xiyun doted on him. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the favored son of heaven.
Yet, he was not satisfied even though he had everything. He always acted like he did not care. Why didnât he make his five older brothers angry?
Now that Ling Xin scolded him, the other peopleâs gazes followed Ling Jing. Although they did not show it on the surface, the Schadenfreude in third and fourthâs eyes could still be seen at a glance.
Ling Jing sat there and looked at the big family. There was no joy of the New Year in his eyes, nor was there any joy of reunion.
He only felt bored, very bored. Facing the faces of his brothers, his hostility was unprecedentedly heavy.
âWho am I showing my face to? Did I show my face?â
He raised his eyebrows and looked unrestrained. His evil eyes were obviously provocative.
âSo what if I put on a face? Canât I put on a face?â
âLing Jing, you ââ
âLast year.âLing Jing suddenly stood up and pointed at his chest. âI was stabbed here.â
âHere.âHe pulled his clothes, revealing his strong chest and the obvious scar on his chest.
Liu Xiyunâs eyes widened. She had kept her sonâs injury a secret from her, but she had never known about it.
Her lips trembled. She wanted to say something, but she couldnât.
Ling Xin sat there. He looked at Ling Jing and naturally saw the scar. It was on his chest. It was so long. If it was a little deeper â
âLing Jing, who ââ
âWho?âLing Jing smiled. He pulled his clothes back casually and glanced at his five brothers who seemed like brothers.
âI know who did it. I Wonât say. But looking at you now, I feel very disgusted.â
âYou make me sick.â
The living room was silent. The five brothers looked at each other, but no one spoke. Ling Xin also guessed some things, but he didnât dare to believe it.
Impossible. They were all his children. He had said it long ago. Moreover, it was already a gift for him to bring these children back and raise them. Not to mention that although they didnât get as much as Ling Jing, it wasnât bad either.
âBrother and brother respect? Brotherhood? Ptui.âLing Jing spat and didnât hide his emotions at all. âReally. Iâm disgusted by you guys.â
âLing Jing, you ââcanât you come another day to mess with these things during the New Year?
Ling Xin wanted to stop him, but Ling Jing didnât give him a chance at all. âWhat Brothers? They are just a group of brothers who wish for me to die.â
Liu Xiyun was the first to react. Her heart ached for her son, but today was the new year. âA jing, stop talking.â
âWhy wonât you let me talk? I have to talk. You like to fight, you like to fight. Go fight, go fight. I donât fucking like it. Iâll tell you. I donât like this idea of the old manâs family business at all.â
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Ling Xin. He had been suppressing his emotions, at this moment, he reached the peak. âOld Man, let me tell you. Do you think Iâll starve to death without your family business? Do you think I canât live if I donât become the young master of the Ling Family? Let me tell you, itâs impossible.â
Ling Xinâs expression was unsightly. He covered his chest with one hand. It was obvious that he was angered by Ling Jing. But Ling Jing didnât care.
âGive these assets to whoever you want. Donât force me to come back and pretend to be a brother. Iâm disgusted.â
The other five brothers all hid their heads and didnât make a sound.
Ling Xin stood up and slammed the table. âLing Jing, are you done?â
âI, declare here that I donât want your assets. Iâd rather be a gigolo than inherit your family business. So, Old Master, you can put away your tricks. And you guys can stop acting in front of me in the future. I look disgusting.â
âLing Jing ââLing Xin was furious.
But Ling Jing didnât want to stay. After returning from Japan, the Ling family fought openly and secretly. He had encountered more than one criminal and two car accidents.
Because it wasnât safe around him, he didnât even look for Su Peizhen.
But he had had enough of such days, and he was also tired of it.
He didnât want the identity of the young master of the Ling family, and he didnât want the Ling familyâs property. Right now, he only wanted one thing â to return to the former glory garden and stay by that womanâs side.
He only wanted her, and he even missed the time when he had really been her âGigolo.â.
The first half of his life was boring. There was only that period of time when he was truly happy. He didnât need to be the young master of the Ling family. He was only Ling Jing, a man.
A man that Su Peizhen liked was also a man that liked Su Peizhen.
âA jing, where are you going?â
Seeing Ling Jing turn around to leave, Liu Xiyun finally couldnât help but ask.
No matter what had happened in the past, his attitude now was really too willful. No matter what, today was the New Year.
âGo where I want to go.â
The place he wanted to go was also that womanâs side.
