Chapter 22: Boss Ling Siyan gave him a big eye roll, a bastard,...
"Dad, what did you say?" Ling Siyan doubted her ears, "Engagement? Or Yi'er's body? How come I, as a mother, don't know about it?"
Ling Yuan snorted unhappily: "It's all your fault."
Lu Xiao and Ling Yi's gaze instantly shifted to Ling Siyan.
Ling Siyan was innocent and felt that she was more wronged than Dou E: "Why are you blaming me? I didn't make an engagement for Yi'er."
"This engagement was made by your mother. It was between you and the Chu family kid. But you fell for that bastard Han Jisheng, so this engagement will end up with your child."
Ling Mo secretly gave his old father a thumbs up. He interpreted the Spring and Autumn style of writing very well, avoiding the important issues and not showing any guilt at all.
It was clearly at the same time that the young master of the Chu family also had a girl he liked, and he was determined to marry her.
The two families then continued the marriage contract to the next generation.
Ling Siyan pointed at herself and said, "I was originally engaged? How come I didn't know about it?"
"You are not old enough, are you? The Chu family kid is studying abroad, so he wants to wait until you are an adult before telling you. Who knows..."
Ling Siyan touched her nose.
Ling Yuan didn't intend to dwell on the past, and quickly brought the topic back: "In the past few years, you have been away all the time, and I forgot about this engagement. But some time ago, Mayor Chu suddenly contacted me and mentioned the engagement between the two families. He said that he wanted the two children to meet each other."
Speaking of this, Ling Yuan also had some doubts in his mind.
When Ling Siyan left City A, she only had Han Chengyu, who was only 3 years old, by her side. Ling Yi was not even born at that time.
I haven't seen her for many years and I don't know her background or character. Why did she suddenly bring up the matter of marriage and specify that the marriage partner is Ling Yi instead of Han Chengyu, who is more suitable in age?
"Mayor Chu?" Ling Siyan grasped the key point accurately, "The Chu family kid you mentioned is the current mayor of City A, Chu Minghao?"
"Yeah." Ling Yuan's eyes were filled with emotion and nostalgia. "Your mother and the old lady of the Chu family were close friends. They had always had a very good relationship and wanted to marry their children to each other, so this engagement came about. Unexpectedly, not long after the engagement, your mother passed away in an accident."
Ling Siyan remained silent. She was only two years old when her mother passed away, and she had no impression of this mother.
Ling Yuan quickly came back to his senses from his memories: "His daughter is 15 years old, two years older than Yi'er, but it doesn't matter. The Chu family kid also said that they should meet first and cultivate their feelings. If they still have no interest in each other after they grow up, or if they like other people, we won't force it."
Ling Siyan did not comment on this, but looked at Ling Yi: "Yier, what do you think? If you are not happy, Mom will cancel this engagement for you."
She said that in this life, she would do her best to give Ling Yi the greatest freedom, allowing him to do what he wants to do and not do what he doesn't want to do.
So she wouldn't make decisions for him.
Ling Yuan didn't say anything and also looked at Ling Yi. The same was his original reply to Mayor Chu: it depends on the child's wishes and he will not interfere.
Chu Minghao was in a free love relationship back then and did not force anything.
Ling Yi blinked, "I can do anything."
He didn't feel anything about it and it didn't matter whether he saw it or not.
Ling Siyan raised her eyebrows: "Then meet?"
"Okay." Ling Yi agreed.
"Okay. There will be a charity dinner in three days, and Mayor Chu will also be there. You can take Yi'er with you then, and I'll also say hello to the Chu family kid."
That's how it was settled.
After saying this, Ling Yuan talked about the arrangement for Ling Siyan: "Now that you are back, go to the company to help your brother after you have rested. When you two take over the company, I can also step down and have a rest."
Ling Siyan did not object, as this had been agreed upon beforehand.
A thousand-mile long dam can be breached by a single ant.
The Ling Group is a century-old enterprise that has been infused with the hard work of several generations. If there had not been an internal traitor, it would not have been so easily disintegrated by external forces.
She has to go inside the group to find the traitor.
After making arrangements for Ling Siyan, Ling Yuan's eyes fell on Lu Xiao: "What have you been doing these years? Do you want to follow Siyan into the group?"
Lu Xiao had no intention of staying too far away from Ling Siyan. As for his experiences over the years, he thought about it and said what he could: "I have some computer skills. I opened a small game company before, but I only developed one game. The company was registered abroad. After returning to China, I handed the company over to a friend to manage."
Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Game development?"
This was something Ling Yuan had not expected. His understanding of Lu Xiao was only from more than ten years ago.
After graduating from high school, he served in the army for two years. After retiring, he became Ling Siyan's bodyguard.
He had already planned to arrange Lu Xiao into the logistics department or security department, and was considering what position to give him.
Thinking about it, Ling Yuan asked casually: "What game?"
"It's a holographic battle online game with an interstellar background. It's called Star Warriors."
"Oh, Star Warrior!" Ling Yuan went over the name in his mind and his eyes suddenly widened.
After a while, he asked in an ambiguous tone, "What's your code name in your game development team?"
Lu Xiao's eyes flickered for a moment, and he answered honestly: "Wangyue."
Wangyue means looking up at the bright moon.
Everyone in the room looked at Lu Xiao for a long time in silence.
I have a sense of déjà vu as if a big boss is right next to me.
Star Warrior is an immersive holographic game that breaks through the limitations of today's computer technology. Once released, the game quickly became popular all over the world.
The person who led the game production, "Mochizuki", was repeatedly investigated. Apart from confirming that he was an all-round big shot in the field of computer technology, no one even knew whether he was a man or a woman.
Because no one can crack the personal information encryption key he set.
After a while, Ling Yuan said something ambiguous: "Humility is a virtue, but excessive humility becomes pride."
Lu Xiao touched his nose.
Ling Siyan gave Lu Xiao a look that said "I'll settle the score with you later."
After all, as a man who had seen the world, Ling Yuan quickly recovered from his shock and figured out where Lu Xiao should go.
"Then you should join the technical department! The position of technical director has been vacant, you can fill it." Ling Yuan made the final decision.
"Okay." Lu Xiao had no objection. "As for the salary..." Ling Yuan thought about the speed at which his "small" game company made money, and decisively threw the question to Ling Siyan: "Wait until your wife takes office, then you go and communicate with her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao looked at Ling Siyan with a smile in his eyes.
Ling Siyan rolled her eyes at him, calling him a bastard for hiding so many things from her.
"As for Yi'er," Ling Yuan looked over with a smile, "You just finished your high school entrance exam, so have some fun during the summer vacation."
Then he said to Ling Siyan and Lu Xiao, "Don't just focus on work, spend more time with Yi'er."
Back in the room, Ling Siyan waited for the people behind her to come in, then turned around, folded her arms, and looked the man up and down.
Lu Xiao leaned against the door panel, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
"Do you know any computer skills?"
Lu Xiao was silent.
"Opened a small game company?"
Lu Xiao didn't say anything.
Ling Siyan took a step forward and supported her hands on Lu Xiao's sides, and found that she could only see Lu Xiao's neck.
The Adam's apple is quite sexy, Ling Siyan thought.
The fingertips moved, wanting to touch.
You can leave it till night...
The woman's hot breath sprayed on her neck, stirring up a tingling sensation in her heart.
Lu Xiao held his breath, his eyes were filled with dark colors, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Then Ling Siyan saw the Adam's apple move again and again.
Blinking and leaning back a little, Ling Siyan said, "Lower your head a little." At the same time, she complained in her heart, why did he grow so tall for no reason!
Looking up at people is a bit tiring for the neck.
Lu Xiao lowered his head obediently.
Ling Siyan ran into those dark and turbulent eyes, stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and asked, "Tell me the truth, how many things have you hidden from me?"
Because of what she saw when she followed Lu Xiao after her death in her previous life, as well as the mercenaries Lu Xiao sent to her, she had always preconceived that Lu Xiao was also a mercenary.
After getting the marriage certificate with her, I have been following her all the time and rarely out of her sight.
Especially after she told him about her past life, this man wanted to make her small and hide her in his pocket, which made her laugh and cry.
So she never asked him about his work. It was good that he was willing to stay with her. It was better than running out and doing something illegal.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao really gave her such a big surprise!
Lu Xiao thought for a moment, leaned close to Ling Siyan's ear, and whispered something.
After listening to this, Ling Siyan looked at Lu Xiao with a strange look in her eyes: "Can I tell you this?"
"I'm just a non-staff member. I've already stated in advance that I won't be bound by their internal regulations. As for the mission," Lu Xiao shrugged, "for the safety of the people around me, I think it's necessary to let you know the truth. They will understand."
After hearing this, Ling Siyan stopped worrying.
"So, have you arranged people around us?" Ling Siyan asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yes. Originally, there was only someone around you and Yi'er, but after we came to City A, he was also arranged around Dad and Big Brother." Lu Xiao said seriously, "Although the possibility of him appearing in City A is small, you can't take it lightly. You can't be without someone around you."
After a pause, he added: "They will not affect our normal life."
Thinking of the cause of Ling Siyan's death in the previous life, Lu Xiao's eyes darkened and he added: "The car you drive also needs to be modified."
Ling Siyan had no objection.
In fact, they had bodyguards around them before, but from the fact that they never discovered the people arranged by Lu Xiao, it can be seen that these bodyguards can only guard against gentlemen and rookies.
It can never be too important to pay enough attention to the safety of yourself and your family.
"Okay, I'll leave it all to you." Ling Siyan put her arms around Lu Xiao's neck and leaned close to his ear: "Since you're so thoughtful this time, I won't mind you hiding things from me before."
Lu Xiao's Adam's apple rolled, and he reached out to hold the slender waist of the woman in front of him. He also leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Thank you, my wife."
On the other side of City A, in a manor that is about the same size as the Ling family’s.
A handsome young man was resting with his eyes closed under the green shade of a maple tree, humming an unknown tune.
"Young Master."
Bai Shuxing opened his eyes and looked over.
"Just got the news that Miss Ling has returned to the Ling family and will attend the charity dinner held at Dijing Garden in three days."
Bai Shuxing curled his lips, and a hint of ambiguous light flashed in his eyes: "Oh? Then when the time comes, we will also go to meet this prophet." The last two words were barely audible.
