Ling's younger sister slammed the newspaper down in front of Ling Yunfei and lightly tapped the photo on it with her finger.
"Brother, look closely! This is Jiang Si, the third daughter-in-law of the Huo family."
Ling Yunfei's initially dismissive expression froze the moment he saw the photo.
The woman in the photo is facing the camera in profile, holding a paintbrush and intently looking at the blueprints.
Sunlight shone on her delicate profile, making her so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Even Ling Yunfei, who had seen countless beauties, had to admit it at this moment.
This woman named Jiang Si is indeed extraordinary.
She's absolutely stunning!
When the second son of the Ling family saw that his eyes were wide open, his heart skipped a beat.
"Brother, don't do anything reckless! She's not the kind of woman you usually mess with!"
These words only made Old Master Ling's brows furrow.
He knew his son's character all too well.
"The second brother is right."
Old Master Ling warned in a stern voice, "Don't provoke the Huo family, do you hear me?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Yunfei merely scoffed at this.
He is indeed a bit promiscuous in his relationships, but these things are always a matter of mutual consent.
Those women were after his money and status.
He wanted something new and exciting.
Both sides are simply getting what they want.
Who is more noble than whom?
Moreover, he made it clear before the marriage that all he could offer was money, and all he could do was come home on time.
As for anything else, don't have too high expectations for him!
They all readily agreed at the time, but after only a few months of marriage, they started demanding more than they wanted.
Even after they divorced, he never mistreated them.
Every penny that should be given will be given.
Even his mother's secret stash of money is almost empty.
In the end, he became the unfaithful man.
Needless to say, if he really has any wicked intentions, he'll admit it!
Before anything even happened, everyone in the compound was treating him like a thief.
"What are you laughing at?" Old Master Ling looked over with displeasure.
"I laugh at the second brother's stupidity." Ling Yunfei leaned back lazily in his chair, his words laced with sarcasm.
The second son of the Ling family almost choked on his own breath after hearing this.
"Just speak, why are you swearing at me?"
"Do you think I'm like you?"
He admitted that he wasn't a good person, but he wasn't really brainless either.
The old man had only been retired for less than half a year, but he had already clearly felt what it meant to be forgotten after someone leaves, and what it meant to experience the coldness of human relationships.
Those who used to fawn over him now have a forced smile when they see him.
Why would he go and provoke the Huo family at this point? Is he crazy? Or is he just tired of living such a comfortable life?
The second son of the Ling family opened his mouth, about to refute.
However, before he could speak, Ling Yunfei stood up and abruptly pulled out a chair.
"Alright, I have things to do, I don't have time to chat with you guys about this nonsense."
"It's so late, and it's raining outside. Where are you going?"
Seeing this, Ling's mother forgot her anger and quickly called out to him, "You haven't finished your meal yet!"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm too angry to eat anymore. I'm going out for some fresh air." Ling Yunfei wasn't lying; he really was too angry to eat.
The Huo family is making a mountain out of a molehill!
I'm so angry that my family doesn't even bother to find out the truth!
I'm even angrier at my own powerlessness!
“But…” Ling’s mother wanted to say something more.
Ling Yunfei suddenly turned around and said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys earlier that I'm bringing my girlfriend home for dinner in a couple of days."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be getting married in May."
Upon hearing this, the living room fell silent.
"You...you're still getting married?" Realizing what was happening, Ling's mother was furious.
She yelled at his retreating back, "You're such a spendthrift! All you ever do is splurge! Did you rob someone in your past life?"
Isn't that robbery?
Every time he gets married, the dowry, the banquet, and all the other things he needs to buy for the wedding add up to almost two thousand!
In addition to his salary and the things he bought, he also has to compensate the woman with some money after the divorce.
That adds up to almost two thousand yuan!
Just look at the money he's spent on his marriage and divorce over the years.
That's enough for their whole family to eat and drink for a lifetime.
No, we can't use them all!
Luckily, the old man has a high salary and a decent amount of money, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for him to squander money like that.
Spending money is a small matter, but the problem is that he gets married every time.
He was about to be laughed at by the people in the compound.
Thinking about all this, Ling's mother had no appetite at all.
"Old man, what should we do?" Ling's mother sighed.
What can I do?
Grandpa Ling looked distressed upon hearing this, "His legs are his own body. If he's determined to get married, what can you do but tie him up with a rope?"
Ling's mother was speechless for a moment.
Finally, it was the second son of the Ling family who woke him up with a single sentence: "Let him get married then. It's not like it's his first time getting married. As long as he doesn't provoke the Huo family and lives his quiet life, consider it a loss to avoid disaster!"
What else can we do?
Old Master Ling: "..."
Ling's mother: "..."
...
Jiang Si knew nothing about the messy affairs of the Ling family or the rumors circulating in the family compound.
She didn't have time to pay attention to these things.
She has been busy with the hotel for foreign guests during this period, and she is so busy that she doesn't have time to rest.
