Qin Beiming raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Lu Jinjiu. “If you’re afraid of pain, then behave yourself.”

If there was a next time, he wouldn’t mind beating up Lu Jinjiu, who was always letting his imagination run wild.

Once again, Lu Jinjiu misinterpreted the meaning behind Qin Beiming’s words. He shrunk his neck in fear and sank his large body into the soft leather sofa.

Qin Beiming was in a much better mood after receiving the phone. He turned around and crossed his legs again. He sat beside Lu Jinjiu like a statue and quickly browsed through Ling Mo’s information.

When she was born, her biological mother died from an amniotic fluid embolism.

Seven years ago, she pushed her stepsister down the stairs, causing her stepmother to miscarry unexpectedly and was sent to the countryside.

After that, her personality changed drastically. Fighting became a common occurrence, and she was expelled from many schools. She was even…

Qin Beiming’s eyes were deep as he stared at the blue ID photo on his phone screen.

The young lady in the photo had a simple ponytail. Her eyes were clear and her smile was bright. There was a faint dimple on the right side of her face, making her look extremely pure and beautiful.

Lu Jinjiu turned his head and glanced at the dejected Qin Beiming. He stuttered and asked, “Third brother, what do you think of Miss Ling?”

Qin Beiming put Lu Jinjiu’s phone into his trouser pocket. After a while, he answered softly, “The dimple is quite charming.”

“Ah? You really don’t mind her past? I heard that she’s very wild and has several exes.”

Lu Jinjiu instantly perked up. He had never expected that Qin Beiming, who had always kept to himself, would actually like her.

Qin Beiming frowned and said in a low voice, “Don’t talk about her like that.”

Upon hearing what he said, Lu Jinjiu acted as if he had bumped into a ghost. He pounced forward and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead while mumbling, “Third brother, are you possessed?”

“Xiao Jiu, I don’t know much about girls. Help me order a box of underwear suitable for girls and send it to her.”

At that moment, the shabby round-necked vest on Ling Mo’s body flashed across Qin Beiming’s mind.

Although he could not see any embarrassment from her appearance, he somehow felt that the ragged shirt was an eyesore.

…

In the black business car, Ling Mo, who was sitting in the front row, was playing a game with her head lowered.

A message suddenly popped up on the screen, causing Ling Mo, who was slaughtering everyone in the game, to be distracted and accidentally lose half her health.

She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to curse. She opened the message impatiently.

[ Boss, the relevant information about Su Yu has been sent to your email. In addition, half an hour ago, I detected that someone was looking at your information, but I have yet to find out the background of the other party. ]

[ After you find out who it is, remember to tell me immediately. ]

After Ling Mo sent the message, she immediately turned on the do-not-disturb mode and entered the game once again.

Ling Tian, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, glanced directly at Ling Mo. When she saw that she was only focused on playing the game, she became even more annoyed.

After feeling awkward for a long time, she finally took the lead to break the strange silence, “Sis, what did Brother Feifan say to you just now?”

Unexpectedly, Ling Mo suddenly threw her phone away in anger and cursed, “F * ck, I kept dying!”

When she said this, Ling Yunlong’s face, who was resting with his eyes closed, darkened even more.

Even though Ling Mo was not to blame for what happened tonight, he was already used to blaming her for everything.

When he saw that Ling Mo was so uncultured, he could not help but scold her sternly. “What kind of foul language is that? If you dare to bully Xiao Tian again, you better go back to the countryside.”

Su Yu was caught in Ling Mo’s words twice, and she still had anger in her heart. At this moment, she wished that Ling Yunlong could show some courage and slap Ling Mo a few times.

However, she still put in enough effort on the surface and grabbed Ling Yunlong’s arm gently. “Yunlong, forget it.”

“How can we just forget it?”

Ling Yunlong pushed Su Yu’s hand away and sat up straight. He glared at Ling Mo, who didn’t put him in her eyes at all. “You! Apologize to Xiao Tian immediately.”

Ling Mo glanced at the “GAME OVER” words on the screen before coming back to her senses. She turned her head to look at Ling Yunlong, who was panting heavily. “Is your asthma acting up?”

“You…”

Ling Yunlong was so angry that his face was ashen. He bared his teeth and said, “Apologize to Xiao Tian.”

“Apologize?”

Ling Mo’s expression suddenly turned cold. Her sharp eyes carried a hint of arrogance that was difficult to ignore. Just one glance was enough to make Ling Yunlong’s skin go numb.

Su Yu looked at the two of them who were at each other’s throats. After a while, she tried to smooth things over. “Mo Mo is still young, so it’s understandable that she’s not sensible. As an adult, we just need to discipline her more.”

“Aunty, do you know what dad is angry about? I’m sitting quietly in the front row playing games. Why did dad ask me to apologize to Xiao Tian? Could it be that when I was dozing off just now, I dreamt that I beat Xiao Tian Up?”

Ling Mo’s face was filled with slight mockery as her eyes swept across the faces of the three people in the back seat.

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.

The three of them sat in a row, looking rather harmonious.

Ling Yunlong, who was sitting in the middle, looked like a big pig head used for sacrifices. He was fat and greasy.

Su Yu, who was next to him, looked like a naked chicken.

As for Ling Tian, who was dressed in light green, she looked like a snake.

Thinking of this, the smile on Ling Mo’s lips deepened, but she did not say anything. She only looked at the three people in front of her with a strange expression.

Ling Yunlong looked at Ling Mo, who was still laughing, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood, “If you dare to insult Xiao Tian again in the future, just wait and see! Also, stay away from Liang Feifan. If you mess up Xiao Tian’s good marriage, see how I’ll deal with you.”

“When have I ever insulted your precious thing? As for Liang Feifan, I’m also very annoyed. He just grabbed me and refused to let me go, insisting that I take the diamond ring…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ling Tian could no longer suppress the anxiety in her heart. She asked repeatedly, “You’re saying that brother Feifan gave you a diamond ring?”

“Yes, but I rejected it.”

Ling Mo turned her head and couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath on Ling Tian.

“Mo Mo, could it be that you’ve made a mistake? Feifan’s diamond ring should be a birthday present for Xiao Tian. Why would he give it to you for no reason?” Su Yu said with a faint smile, although she was asking, her tone was very confident.

Liang Feifan was born into an upper-class family and had been a well-known figure in the celebrity circle since he was young. A young master from an aristocratic family like him definitely had high standards. No matter what, he would never take a fancy to a girl from the countryside.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Ling Tian, whose face was filled with hatred, also became alert.

Her eyes were fixated on Ling Mo as she asked urgently, “Could it be that brother Feifan entrusted you to pass that diamond ring to me?”
