Chapter 27 Testing "Just make do with it! Business marriages, isn't that all...
On the way back in the car, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
Lu Xiao drove in silence, his hands gripping the steering wheel with veins bulging from the force.
Although I have heard Ling Siyan talk about her past life, I know that Ling Siyan had given up on her son in her past life.
But at this moment he still couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
She felt sorry for having raised Han Chengyu for 18 years, but Han Chengyu chose to stand against her in public, and even spoke for the third party who had interfered in her marriage with Han Jisheng, turning her into a joke.
I feel sorry for her. She has invested 18 years of love and hard work into this project. How many doubts and accusations did she have to face alone from Han Chengyu? She was so disappointed and heartbroken, and why she is so calm tonight.
Ling Mo was also racking his brains to think of how to comfort Ling Siyan.
In his opinion, no matter how cold Ling Siyan was when facing Han Chengyu, she must be feeling very uncomfortable now!
He felt angry just watching from the side.
However, in the situation at that time, he was at a disadvantage when it came to fighting, and Ling Siyan won the game against three people at once with her words, leaving him no room to maneuver.
But how to comfort her?
He has no children either...
Ling Yi had similar thoughts in his mind.
Although he wanted to see Han Chengyu break up with his mother, he didn't want his mother to be sad about it.
Ling Siyan came back to her senses from her thoughts and quickly noticed the dull atmosphere in the car. She found it a little funny, but felt a little warm in her heart.
Only if you truly care about someone will you feel sorry for her.
In Han Chengyu's heart, she is a strong woman who will never be sad or upset. As a superior, she is invincible and she is the only one who can hurt others. There is no reason for others to bully her.
Perhaps in Han Chengyu's heart, as he himself said, he regarded her more as a ruler and controller than his mother.
They are people who need to be resisted and escaped from, rather than people who should be approached and trusted.
However, now she was not willing to explore Han Chengyu's psychology, as it was meaningless.
She gave him the freedom he wanted.
In this life, Han Chengyu's life has nothing to do with her anymore.
Ling Siyan said bluntly: "You don't have to think about how to comfort me. I have you and Dad by my side now, and there are so many people who deserve my care. I won't worry about the departure of a son whose heart is not with me."
"Really?" Ling Mo turned his head and asked suspiciously.
"Look into my sincere eyes." Ling Siyan pointed at her eyes with two fingers.
Ling Mo pretended to look at him and said, "Okay, I'll believe you then."
Ling Siyan remembered something and asked Ling Mo: "Brother, why didn't you buy some jewelry for sister-in-law today?"
At today's auction, there were not only the Violet Kiss and Snow Guardian that they had bought, but also other jewelry as well.
Ling Mo was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "She will buy whatever she likes herself."
Ling Siyan observed Ling Mo's expression and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you and sister-in-law not on good terms?"
Ling Mo was silent for a moment, looking at the road ahead, and said, "Just make do with it! Isn't that how business marriages are all done?"
In fact, when they first got married, he thought about treating her well and accepting her as his wife from the bottom of his heart.
But later on, I was really afraid of her unyielding and unreasonable character.
What really annoyed him was that before they got married, he had already told her that he would not have children, and this was his bottom line that he would never compromise on.
She agreed, but after getting married, she always used this as an excuse to say "you owe me this."
Not only did she make a scene in front of him, she also went to make a scene in front of her father...
"Then..." Ling Siyan said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I'm going to revoke all of my sister-in-law's privileges in Huaying. Do you have any objections?"
Ling Mo turned his head and leaned against the backrest, his posture was quite indecent: "If you can convince Dad, I will thank you."
The privileges that Zhao Qian enjoyed at Huaying were never given by him.
He had refused it to his father, but his father protected him.
"She is your wife, she is one of your family members. You should put your family members first. Who can say anything? As a husband, you should be more tolerant and patient with your wife."
"Men in our Ling family cannot be scumbags."
He was speechless.
"Brother, as long as you have no objection." Ling Siyan was relieved immediately, "I'll talk to Dad."
Ling Yuan protects his own people, but he protects his own people.
He protected Zhao Qian, not because he liked her so much, but because he didn't want his elder brother and his wife to fall out.
The person he really protects is his eldest brother.
If he really likes Zhao Qian, according to Ling Yuan's personality, he would give Huaying to Zhao Qian directly.
Therefore, it is not difficult to convince Ling Yuan.
The car drove all the way back to the Ling family's old house.
Ling Yuan was still watching the news in the hall. When he saw them coming back, he picked up the remote control to turn off the TV and patted the sofa beside him: "Come on, Yi'er, have you seen that girl? How is she? Do you still like her?"
Ling Yi leaned over obediently and gave the same answer as before:
"dislike."
"We can be friends."
"Mom said you can only date after you become an adult."
Hearing this, Ling Yuan glanced at Ling Siyan, his eyes showing: Are you embarrassed? Are you not guilty?
Ling Siyan touched her nose.
Ling Mo grabbed the apple from the fruit plate and took a bite. He didn't eat anything at the banquet. Ever since what happened that year, he never ate anything at a banquet.
The little food he had eaten before the banquet had long been digested, but he was starving.
While chewing, Ling Mo said: "Dad, I met Han Chengyu at the banquet today. You don't know how excessive he is..."
Ling Mo repeated everything Han Chengyu said at the banquet and in the parking lot. After listening, Ling Yuan's face darkened.
After thinking for a while, Ling Yuan looked at Ling Siyan: "I don't know why you and that kid got to this point, but judging from his words and actions tonight, keeping him around is a blessing, not a curse. I approve of your choice, but I still hope you can think it over carefully."
"After all, you are the one who gave birth to him, raised him, and has the deepest feelings for him."
Ling Yuan is not a person who values blood relationship above all else, otherwise he would not have raised Ling Mo like his own son and allowed him to enter the core of power of Shengyu.
Although Han Chengyu is also his grandson, they have never gotten along with each other, so naturally it is impossible for them to have a deep relationship.
From what Han Chengyu said tonight, it can be seen that this kid holds grudges but not good ones.
It is better to stay away from people who are always grateful for a little help and grudge against them for a big help.
"Dad, I still say the same thing. I was not acting on impulse, nor was I angry with him." Ling Siyan said seriously.
Ling Yuan nodded and didn't say anything more this time.
"Dad, do I have a sister?"
Ling Yuan was stunned and asked, "How did you know?"
"I saw a photo of your mother holding a girl in your study before. That girl was not me."
Ling Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of trance, and after coming to his senses, he asked Ling Siyan: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Ling Siyan remained calm and said, "Someone at the banquet today said that I don't look like my mother at all, and that I look more like my sister."
"Nonsense." Ling Yuan glared, his eyes wandering over Ling Siyan's face, his eyes shifted for a moment, and he muttered, "Your face shape is quite similar to your mother's."
Ling Siyan asked curiously, "Does my sister really look like my mother?"
Ling Yuan's eyes were filled with nostalgia and sadness: "Yes! Although you are still young, I can see that your eyes, nose, and mouth are carved from the same mold as your mother's. You look more like your grandmother."
Before Ling Siyan could ask further, Ling Yuan continued, "Your sister was only three years old when she went missing. We have been looking for her for the next ten years. Your mother also had a car accident on the way to look for your sister."
"Your sister was too young when she went missing, and we were unable to find her at the time. Later, we could only look for someone similar based on your mother's childhood photos. Over the years, many people came to our door with others, but none of them was your sister."
Ling Siyan seemed to be thinking about something.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Lu Xiao looked at Ling Siyan seriously, "Why did Bai Shuxing say you were 'prophetic' at the auction tonight? What did you reveal to him?"
"Yeah." Ling Siyan walked to the bed and fell onto it without any image.
After a tiring night, it’s still more comfortable to sleep in bed, Ling Siyan sighed in her heart.
"You're being too reckless." Lu Xiao frowned and looked at Ling Siyan, a rare hint of severity in his voice.
Ling Siyan opened her eyes and looked at Lu Xiao without any fear.
"Li Yu is trustworthy, and Bai Shuxing—" Ling Siyan hesitated for a moment, "can also be trusted."
"No one can be trusted 100%." Lu Xiao said in a low voice.
"Can't you, too?"
"No!" Lu Xiao said firmly.
"So you didn't trust me 100%?"
Lu Xiao: “…”
After a while, he said helplessly: "This is different..."
"What's the difference?" Ling Siyan asked, "You don't trust Yi'er 100%? And you don't trust your brothers either?"
Lu Xiao was speechless.
"So," Ling Siyan stood up, took a step forward, and put her index finger on Lu Xiao's chin: "Lu Xiao, why are you so hypocritical?"
"No," Lu Xiao's eyes were full of solemnity: "Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if your secret was known by someone with ulterior motives?"
Ling Siyan raised her eyebrows, "Who can prove that I said those words? Without evidence, who do you think would believe such a fantastic thing?"
"Then how do you know there's no evidence left?"
"Have I not told you yet? If I want, no electronic device within a ten-meter radius of me can receive signals."
Lu Xiao frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I discovered this by accident. When I was watching the comments, all the electronic devices around me would lose signal. If you don't believe me, take out your phone and check it out now."
Lu Xiao took out his cell phone and saw that there was a cross where the cell phone signal was.
"This signal blockade will not be lifted until half an hour later."
Lu Xiao's expression eased slightly, but he still disagreed with Ling Siyan's approach, "Then you shouldn't expose your secrets to outsiders, especially Bai Shuxing, who has an unstable personality and erratic behavior."
"But he clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and has his own bottom line. Moreover," Ling Siyan frowned, "I suspect that Bai Shuxing is related to me."
"What do you mean?"
"In my previous life, when I was with Yi'er, I saw Bai Shuxing looking at a photo. The person in the photo," Ling Siyan paused, "looked very much like my mother."
