Ling brothers
"Any news?" Ling Yan, lying in the hospital bed, asked Ling Changqing, who was wearing an intern's white coat beside her.
Young Master Yan seems to have really suffered a lot these past two days; his face is pale, and his lips are dry and peeling due to dehydration.
If it weren't for his flawless, exquisite face, Ling Changqing would have thought he had been mistreated inside.
"Hmm..." Ling Changqing hesitated, unsure whether he should speak up, thinking of that message.
"Speak!" Young Master Yan's temper was not as harmless as he looked; his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes made him appear even more dangerous.
Ling Yan is like a venomous snake; no matter how beautiful his appearance, he will never make anyone feel safe.
Because he himself is deadly.
Ling Changqing carefully considered his words before speaking as if he were about to throw caution to the wind:
"Your father's mistress has recently contacted Mr. Ling Xiaoyang."
Ling Yan sneered:
"You mean, my dad's mistress went to live with my uncle?"
Or rather, she was actually my uncle's spy planted on my father's side.
Ling Yan's eyes revealed a venomous glint, just like Shen Qing's. It seemed that his father did not love his mother, and this was not merely a personal prejudice.
"That's not clear yet. All we know is that your father was furious, but he's still cleaning up the mess that woman made."
He was probably more afraid that his wife would find out about her.” Ling Changqing felt that Master Ling was likely to face trouble in his own household.
"Do you have a picture of that woman?" Ling Yan fiddled with the IV tube in her hand, then closed her eyes.
"Not yet. Your father has protected her very well. She must have escaped before seeking Mr. Ling's help."
"Interesting. Keep an eye on it and leak some information to my mother." Ling Yan's mind raced, thinking of his younger sister at home, who was somewhat out of place with both of them.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Ling Chaoyue has been feeling anxious and uneasy even at school lately.
She wasn't Shen Qing's biological daughter, and she knew about her cousin's situation but was keeping it from her.
Yesterday, while Shen Qing was at the hospital visiting Ling Yan, she tampered with her computer and installed a small program that Ling Yan had sent her.
Ling Yuechao wasn't stupid; of course he knew this was definitely not an ordinary computer virus.
The crucial point is that she ran into her elder brother, Ling Kun, when she came out of Shen Qing's study.
"Little sister, what are you doing in Mother's study?" Ling Kun asked casually as he slowly walked down from the third floor with a glass of water.
Ling Chaoyue's heart was pounding in her throat:
"Big brother, I want to live at school. I'll put the application in Mom's study and wait for her to come back and sign it for me."
Ling Chaoyue showed the same wariness towards her elder brother as always.
"You're going to live on campus," she said, and sure enough, Ling Kun's attention was diverted.
"Hmm." Ling Chaoyue was a little afraid of him, especially after she had just seen the violent video of him breaking her classmate's hand.
"Why do you want to live at school? Wouldn't it be better if you went to and from school with us?"
Ling Kun couldn't understand why his younger sister would choose to live in the school dormitory instead of staying at their perfectly good home.
"Big brother, Zixian also lives at school, and I want to keep her company," Ling Chaoyue lied a little.
The eldest daughter of the Qin family could never live on campus; her brother is her own flesh and blood. Unlike her.
Ling Chaoyue lowered her head, her toes digging into the soles of her feet, her mind screaming: You can't just say she's not your biological sister, or you're afraid your whole family will strangle her.
Ling Kun nodded, indicating that as the eldest brother, he could just ask symbolically and wouldn't interfere with her decision.
Besides, he and his younger sister were never close since childhood.
From childhood to adulthood, Ling Yan was always by his side.
Thinking of his frail younger brother, Ling Kun frowned again. Those bastards, how dare they treat the Ling family like this!
When my grandfather was alive, those people wouldn't dare to be so ruthless.
Ultimately, it was their own internal strife within the Ling family that gave outsiders an opportunity to take advantage.
He and Ling Yan both respected their cousin at the base, and Ling Yan's abilities were also evident to all.
She stands out from the rest in the Ling family.
He was carefully groomed by the young master of the Ling family to be the heir of the Ling family.
His brothers all respected him.
Ling Kun didn't understand why his mother was so determined to kill his cousin.
Thinking of the methods of Instructor Abu, who was ranked among the top three on the assassin list.
Ling Kun also expressed his regret over his cousin's ordeal.
His mother was indeed too domineering.
But he was very good to the three siblings.
I heard that because he and Ling Yan were arrested, they even went to the juvenile protection center to sue the authorities for abusing minors.
That sounds pretty outrageous.
With such a large-scale crude oil smuggling operation, no one would believe that the two members of the Ling family were innocent.
Ling Kun felt that his uncle was standing up for his cousin and warning his mother, Shen Qing.
If there is still no news from his cousin, or if something really goes wrong, he and Ling Yan may both face the situation of having to seek refuge abroad.
So why should the children be involved in the matter of the family fortune? The Ling family does indeed have an empire to inherit, but the Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years. The brothers' irreconcilable feud seems somewhat out of step with this era.
Moreover, the Ling family bloodline is not very prosperous.
Regardless of the circumstances, nobody wants to fight and kill if they can live a peaceful life.
So after a two-day break, Ling Kun and Ling Yan returned to the international school.
They were both quite curious about what kind of lives other boys their age led.
After staying for two more days, I realized that the international high school was like paradise compared to the Ling family's training base.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles, hope, and vibrant energy.
There was no constant competition or fierce battles, nor were there any harsh or abnormal target training exercises from instructors.
Even if you sleep in class, slack off, or don't complete the assignments given by the teacher, the most you'll get is a scolding and having to write a self-criticism of several thousand words.
Teachers at international secondary schools would never physically assault students. There is also no intense competition among students, nor a tense atmosphere where one is always ready to fight to the death.
They chatted and laughed, played around, chased after pretty girls, and competed for the title of school beauty and heartthrob. They lived a carefree and happy life in this Garden of Eden.
That's just outrageous!
The Ling twin brothers, not fully understanding the rules of the international high school, committed a heinous act by breaking a classmate's finger. After being disciplined and given a demerit, they successfully earned the title of school bully.
Oh, the person who received the "honor" of school bully is Ling Kun. With his seemingly weak appearance, Ling Yan is now a strong contender for the title of school heartthrob, Qin Yuting, and transfer student Yan Zheng, two controversial school heartthrobs.
Two fierce wolves wandered into a flock of sheep.
Oh, and one of them even hid its attributes.
Ling Kun, somewhat amused, said to his twin brother:
I heard you're on the school's heartthrob list too.
Ling Yan casually tossed him a dozen freshly received love letters.
Red, orange, yellow, green, and mostly pink.
Ling Kun flipped through it with interest, confirming that his own item wasn't among them.
He scoffed, somewhat amused:
"They must have a death wish to hand you something like this!"
Ling Yan yawned indifferently and replied to Ling Kun with two words: "Boring."
Ling Kun tossed the love letter back to him:
Are you showing off to me?
We clearly have the same face, and yet, despite the disciplinary action from the disciplinary office, only I received it.
The two were clearly acting simultaneously; one was responsible for assaulting the person, and the other for erasing surveillance footage.
He was the only one who could be punished.
"Oh, I see. So, you're going to report me out of jealousy?"
Ling Kun: ……
Having not experienced such injustice in a long time, he had nowhere to vent his emotions because of his own younger brother.
Ling Chaoyue couldn't resist her two older brothers' insistence and brought them to the first canteen to meet her best friends, the Knights.
Ling Kun and Ling Yan's gazes immediately fell on the three boys from the Knights.
Ling Kun and Ling Yan exchanged a glance.
Ling Kun stepped forward first and reached out his hand to test Ling Ling.
Two boys, each nearly 180cm tall, instantly started fighting.
This immediately caused an uproar among the students dining in the first canteen.
Both of them were exceptionally skilled, tall and agile, and their fights were also very entertaining to watch.
The two men clashed hand-to-hand, their movements displaying remarkable professional skill. It was a visual effect that even blockbuster movies couldn't capture.
The first canteen was instantly abuzz with activity as everyone rushed forward to watch.
After shouting, many students couldn't resist taking out their phones to take pictures.
Ling Ling's speed and strength were comparable to Ling Kun's. After a stylish exchange, the two quickly separated before the head teacher arrived, and the onlookers also dispersed in unison.
Sure enough, you'll never lack teammates to help cover you, no matter where you are.
Ling Kun and Ling Ling stared at each other across the distance.
Two equally charismatic boys, in this dazzling showdown, secured their places in the top three of the international high school bully rankings.
"It really was you." Ling Kun said out of the blue.
Ling Ling raised an eyebrow at him.
Ling Kun turned to look at Ling Yan, who was sitting calmly with Ye Yunran.
He opened his mouth.
The word "cousin" was uttered silently.
But both brothers tacitly understood that they had been recognized.
Ling Yan sat down opposite Ling Yan without ceremony, giving him a meaningful smile, more direct than his older brother:
"Cousin, so you were hiding here!"
Ling Kun also walked over and sat down next to Ling Yan, staring intently at Ling Yan without saying a word.
The two brothers, one serious, the other with a sinister smile.
Ye Yunran, who was sitting next to Ling Yan, suddenly wiped the goosebumps off his arm and obediently got up to go to the window to serve noodles to Boss Ling.
Ye Yunran left, and Ling Ling sat in his empty seat.
He opened the bottle of mineral water in his hand and gulped down several large mouthfuls, saying:
"I heard you two went in a couple of days ago. How was it? Was the tea at the police station?"
Ling Ling was clearly gloating.
Ling Kun clenched his fists, but refrained from making a move because the head of student affairs was patrolling the cafeteria.
Ling Yan didn't care about all that and continued Ling Ling's words in reply:
"Not bad, you can try it sometime." Ling Yan stared intently into Ling Yan's eyes and asked seriously:
"I'm very curious, cousin, how did you manage to escape with your life from Abu?"
Given Abu's low tolerance for error, you're probably the only person in the world who survived his clutches.
This is an extraordinary compliment to Ling Yan.
Ling Yan raised his eyes and met Ling Yan's venomous gaze.
Despite his young age, he was the one among them whom they had to be most wary of.
"Please tell my second aunt that she should bring more people with her when she goes out in the future, as the security situation around the Ling family's residence has been rather poor lately."
She probably doesn't have as much luck as me.
One sentence was enough to change the twin brothers' expressions.
"Big brother, my mother..."
Ling Yan raised her hand to stop Ling Kun from speaking.
"Your house is about to fall apart. If I were you, I wouldn't have time to swagger around at school right now."
This time, the words were spoken.
The twin brothers received a message from their mother, Shen Qing, instructing them to take their younger sister and return home immediately.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, then looked at Ling Yuechao, who had also received the message and whose head was almost touching the ground, and said:
"Let's go home together, little sister."
The twin brothers noticed that something unusual was happening in their home.
"She can't leave," Ling Yan declared decisively.
The twin brothers exchanged a glance, then got up and quickly left the cafeteria.
Ling Chaoyue was almost in tears; her eyes were red.
Ling Yan gave Ling Ling a look.
Ling Ling walked to Ling Chaoyue's side, handed her a key, and said:
"You'll move out of the school dormitory temporarily and into the apartment across from mine and my older brother's."
Ling Chaoyue's hand trembled slightly as she held the keys.
Ling Ling added, "She's waiting for you there."
One sentence was enough to make Ling Chaoyue lose control of her tears, almost knocking over the plates on the table.
Ling Yan nodded to Ling Ling.
"Let's go, maybe you want to see her now."
Ling Chaoyue followed Ling Ling and walked with him.
The three girls at the table exchanged glances, none of them understanding what major event had happened to the Ling family.
...
Ling Chaoyue was taken by Ling Ling to the place opposite Ling Yan's house, which is now the residence of Ling Ling and Ling Qi.
The mother and daughter met for the first time in 14 years, and inevitably embraced and wept bitterly.
Ai Qing is a gentle and kind-hearted woman. Her family is only moderately wealthy, and she doesn't have a powerful family background, which is why she has been bullied by Ling Xiaofeng to this extent.
Ai Qing briefly told her daughter about her father's change from initial distress to later indifference.
This has put this once loving couple in such a miserable situation.
In this world, no daughter from a good family would want to be someone else's mistress.
Ironically, a kind-hearted woman like Ai Qing has been doing this for 20 years.
Even the most steadfast love can be ravaged beyond recognition by reality.
She is now willing to stand against Ling Chaoyue's father and fight him, all for the sake of 'freedom'.
Ai Qing's life was already a tragedy, but she didn't want her tragedy to continue in her daughter's life.
Since she couldn't resist Ling Xiaofeng on her own, Ling Xiaoyang simply extended an olive branch to her.
Ai Qing was Ling Xiaoyang's childhood sweetheart who grew up with the Ling brothers. Ling Xiaoyang originally didn't want to interfere in his younger brother's family affairs, but Ai Qing had the audacity to get involved with his own son, Ling Yan.
Even the departure of his first wife, Ella, seems to have been orchestrated by Shen Qing.
The collaboration between Ling Xiaoyang and Ai Qing is actually quite simple.
Ling Xiaoyang agreed to let Ai Qing regain custody of her daughter and promised to give her her freedom.
Meanwhile, Ai Qing worked for Ling Xiaoyang during this time, directly challenging Shen Qing as the future wife of the eldest son of the Ling family.
Ling Xiaofeng can't give her a formal title, but Ling Xiaoyang can. Ai Qing could even become the matriarch of the Ling family, with Ling Xiaofeng calling her sister-in-law.
When Ling Yan first heard about Leng Mo's plan, he knew it would definitely provoke his crazy second uncle.
Who told Uncle 2 to both want and hold onto Ai Qing while bullying her for over 20 years?
Just because he has a good personality, do you love him?
Ling Xiaoyang knew a little about his first wife, whose departure from home was somewhat related to his second son's wife. Now, with the assassination attempt on his son added to the mix, and the power transition within the Ling family coinciding, this battle was inevitable.
It must be said that Ling Yan's second uncle is quite capable, managing to keep Ling Yan's second aunt, Shen Qing, a secret for so many years. Of course, the role played by Old Master Ling in this is also indispensable.
After Ai Qing's identity was exposed, Shen Qing was the first to go crazy in the Ling family's second branch. After all, no woman would not go crazy after finding out that she had raised her rival's daughter for 14 years.
Moreover, over the past 14 years, she has truly loved her youngest daughter, even more than her two biological sons.
The moment the incident broke out, Shen Qing scratched Ling Xiaofeng's face, and his hysteria was unmistakable.
It reached the point where even her two biological sons couldn't control her.
The saying goes, "To kill someone is to destroy their spirit," and this level of attack is more than enough.
Ling Xiaofeng's home is now in complete chaos, and he has completely lost the ability to compete with Ling Xiaoyang.
As the saying goes, "fire breaks out in the backyard."
He was so proud of his fame and fortune back then, but now that he's playing both sides, he'll be utterly pathetic when things go wrong.
Ling Xiaoyang even dropped a bombshell: he was about to get engaged to Ai Qing, which directly pierced through his younger brother Ling Xiaofeng's heart.
Forced into a corner, Ling Xiaofeng had no choice but to tell his elder brother the whole truth about how Ling Yan's biological mother, Ella, had left him years ago.
She knelt on the ground, weeping and begging him not to take away the woman he loved.
At the same time, they sent people to Country Y to help their elder brother search for the whereabouts of the semi-retired Ella.
For a time, both men, including the young master of the Ling family in the middle, were devoted to their youthful love.
Ling Xiaoyang temporarily entrusted Ai Qing to his son Ling Yan for care, while he himself traveled alone to Country Y to tell him that he wanted to win back his biological mother.
With Uncle 2 preoccupied with dealing with Aunt Shen Qing, women suddenly became the two biggest problems for the Ling family.
The Ling brothers have temporarily ceased hostilities.
I'll do the measurement after I've won over my woman.
In an instant, the Ling family's previously tense atmosphere transformed into absurd infighting as each member tried to appease their woman.
Shen Qing, from Uncle Ling's family, knew that her husband was not only keeping a mistress outside, but also lying to her that he was raising their daughter. Naturally, she was furious and made Uncle Ling look like a ghost every day.
After trying to stop their parents' tantrums for two days, Ling Kun and Ling Yan, realizing they were powerless to help, both applied for school accommodation and moved into the international school.
Regardless of whether Ling Chaoyue is their twin sister or not, she is still their biological sister, and they certainly cannot kill her as their mother Shen Qing suggested.
But the two brothers' attitudes toward her changed from before.
Ling Chaoyue has been taken under Ling Yan's wing. Now, let alone Ling Yan's status, even her second aunt can't handle her own man and love rival, so she definitely has no intention of causing trouble for her nephew.
For a time, these younger generation members seemed to have been forgotten by their patriarch and began to grow wildly.
Cousins don't necessarily have to fight to the death, and besides, it's far too early for them to be fighting over this.
Without the infighting and factionalism among the two generations of Ling family brothers, the Ling family gradually recovered and developed in a more harmonious direction.
The four major families also abandoned their previous wait-and-see attitude towards the Ling family and re-established close cooperative relationships with them.
These were all senior elders under Ling Teng'an, and they once again joined hands closely.
For a time, the situation in the Ling family, which was now under the control of the shareholders' meeting, became increasingly stable.
The officials who wanted to take this opportunity to severely suppress the Ling family were left empty-handed.
The elders suddenly realized that having no one in charge was more efficient than having two.
The shareholders' meeting once again adopted a voting system, increasing the shareholders' influence over the Ling family.
Without the presence of patriarch Ling Teng'an, the once mighty Ling family of the Dark Night Empire was nearly wiped out by their powerful ministers.
As expected, the second generation of the Ling family are all love-obsessed individuals who prioritize love over career, making them utterly useless.
The old shareholders could only pin their hopes on the third generation of the Ling family.
The matter of resuming training at the Ling family base has been brought up again, but none of the third-generation Ling family children, who have enjoyed a normal life at the international high school, are willing to return.
The uncles, who were not related by blood, could not be persuaded with words alone. The only solution was to send their own or their adopted orphans and confidants to the base for forced training.
For example, Ling Changqing, who is currently an intern at the Ye family hospital, has returned to the Ling family's secret base to take control of the medical reserve forces.
This medical genius, who once betrayed his master, possessed immense talent, yet his popularity plummeted.
Ling Yan's men wanted nothing more than to kill him when they saw him.
Even Ling Kun's people don't have 100% trust in him.
This made Ling Changqing feel that it was better to continue working as an intern under Ye Wenran at the Ye family hospital after returning.
Fortunately, Ling Changqing still had Ling Yan, a patron who trusted him. Otherwise, without Ling Yan's protection, he would have been chopped into seven or eight pieces and thrown into the sea to feed the fish in no time.
Ling Changqing increasingly regretted his decision to betray Ling Yan.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life.
Having had her identity exposed at school, Ling Yan no longer needed to pretend.
He officially brought the Yan family into the Ling family's shareholders' meeting by holding 15% of the shares, making them Ling Yan's representatives.
Yan Zheng and Yan Ze's identities were transferred from the international high school by the Yan family, while Ling Yan and Ling Ling resumed their true identities as new transfer students at the school.
So when I woke up, the super-new human group—no, now it's the princess knight group—had inexplicably gained (or lost) two unfamiliar names.
(00) Ling Ling, (01) Ling Yan
Lin Zhihan and Ye Yunran's deskmates still seem to be the same two people, but their appearances have undergone a complete transformation.
The entire junior high section of the international school was in an uproar.
Oh my god! Oh my god!
After a stunning profile picture of Ling Yan was posted on the campus network, it immediately topped the trending searches in Y country, achieving an influence comparable to that of Hollywood superstar Ella in Y country.
"Is this the kind of divine beauty that a mortal like me can see?"
"I'm smitten, my crush, please look at me!"
"Oh NO, oh NO.
I could admire that profile view for a whole day.
"Husband, husband-------"
"Behold my scream that cracks at the top of my lungs."
The entire international high school immediately propelled Ling Yan's name to the top of the beauty list.
She far surpasses the list of school beauties and school hunks.
She remained a top beauty on the list for many years afterward.
This is beauty that transcends gender.
Beauty, it turns out, is a feeling that appeals to both men and women.
Even Ling Ling's looks far surpassed Qin Yuting's.
The second most handsome boy at Rongsheng International Middle School.
In short, before everyone could even feel sorry for Yan Zheng and Yan Ze dropping out of school, the two Ling brothers made up for it handsomely.
What's puzzling is that this incredibly beautiful boy, who seems almost inhuman, is in love with his ordinary-looking female classmate.
Even Ling Ling, the school heartthrob ranked second, was the protector of that ordinary girl.
The Princess Knights group has been renamed again to the Princess Prince group.
Ye Yunran in the group was immune to the stunning good looks of the two Ling brothers who dominated the rankings.
After all, his older brother Ye Wenran's experience served as a cautionary tale, which convinced him that he wouldn't be wrong once he matured.
Except for Lin Zhihan and Ling Chaoyue, all the girls in the Princess Knight (Prince) group were completely stunned.
Before Qin Zixian could even grieve the failure of her brief crush, she quickly transferred her affections to Ling Yan, the newly crowned beauty queen.
"he……"
He made all girls lose the ability to describe his beauty.
He made all the boys so jealous that they were willing to submit to him.
Ling Yan captivated everyone at the international high school with her stunning beauty.
Not only the junior high school section of the international school, but also many senior students from the senior high school section came here, just to catch a glimpse of the great man's demeanor from afar.
Even if it's the same spot he sat in, the same air he breathed.
Ling Yan is the eldest grandson of the Ling family who was rumored to have disappeared some time ago. After this bombshell news broke, the students of the international high school were once again stunned into silence.
Those classmates who had fantasized about his good looks, discussed his taste, and even shamelessly called him "husband" on the campus website quietly deleted their comments.
Finally, even the candid photo of Ling Yan's profile was deleted by the poster.
The young master of the Ling family!
Who would dare to even dream of this?
Even a single glance at it would be blasphemy.
The child, who didn't want to die an unclear death and wanted to continue living his life, decided to keep his eyes down and his mind at ease when he saw the big shot again.
Saying or looking at them even once is a violation of the cardinal rules for them.
So, that ordinary female classmate of my crush...
You too should be elevated to a divine status and worshipped by all.
Oh, and later it was revealed that the seemingly ordinary female classmate of my crush was actually the fake heiress and the real heir of the powerful Lin family, one of the four great families.
Everyone sighed once again, realizing that there is indeed no such thing as pure love in this world.
Everything is a powerful alliance.
There's nothing wrong with the young master of the Ling family and the eldest daughter of the Lin family being together.
This sparked a heated debate about which of the Lin family's daughters was a better match for the male god.
Lin Yuexin, the genuine daughter of the Lin family, was unjustly thrust into the spotlight when she overheard people talking about her half-sister, Lin Zhihan, in the dance training room.
In the Lin family, Lin's father's ex-wife is an absolute taboo. Lin Xuyao, who now holds real power in the Lin family, will never allow a single word about his previous marriage to be mentioned in the Lin family.
His biological daughter, Lin Zhihan, is also one.
Lin Xuyao never mentioned bringing Lin Zhihan into the Lin family.
So the Lin family pretended that he didn't have an ex-wife and a biological daughter.
If it weren't for Lin Yuexin, who was also studying in the same international secondary school in the third year (1), being suddenly compared to Lin Zhihan.
She couldn't recall having such a potential threat in the Lin family.
It's really not much of a threat.
If Lin Xuyao had even a shred of conscience, he wouldn't have let Lin Zhihan into the Lin family.
But it's really hard to ask a scumbag like him to have a conscience when he's willing to abandon his wife and daughter in order to climb the social ladder.
The father was indeed a scumbag, but although he abandoned his wife, he still gave his daughter pocket money every month, so his behavior didn't seem completely evil.
Lin Yuexin, the real heiress of the Lin family, didn't take Lin Zhihan, the imposter, seriously at all.
The Moon Goddess, who excels in both academics and dance, disdains to stoop to the level of a commoner from a small place.
But the classmate actually compared the two of them, and the fake one even won the favor of the newly popular male god.
If the Ling family insists on a marriage alliance with one of the Lin family's daughters, then Lin Yuexin is the only choice among the Lin family's daughters.
Who does Lin Zhihan even belong to?
This is what Lin Yuexin said after she relayed the news from the school to her mother, Lin Suman.
Lin Suman bypassed the current head of the Lin family, who was also her husband Lin Xuyao, and demanded an explanation from the Ling family.
The doubts raised were ignored.
However, Ling Yan, representing the Yan family, explained to Ms. Lin:
This was the Crown Prince's personal action and did not involve the interests of the Ling and Lin families.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yan and Lin Zhihan are in a free-love relationship. The Ling family shareholders' meeting wouldn't be so absurd as to interfere in the love life of a junior.
Besides, the young master himself chose a girl whose identity was perfectly legitimate.
She may be a fake heiress, but her father, who holds real power in the Lin family, is the real one.
Even considering the current voting method at the Ling family's shareholders' meeting, the chances of this fake heiress's marriage being successful are not low.
Since it's a 50/50 chance anyway, why can't the young master choose a girl he likes?
At the shareholders' meeting, the Yan family raised the question of which daughter of the Lin family their young master should marry, successfully confusing a group of shrewd old men, who then eagerly went to reply to Ms. Lin.
After a brief discussion about the young master's marriage, the Ling family shareholders' meeting ultimately decided not to interfere with the early romance of the younger generation of the Ling family heirs.
After all, the success rate isn't high. Who knows if the young master might fall for the Qin family or the Ming family's daughter later?
Finally, the Ling family donated a teaching building to the junior high school of the international school, subtly hinting at the issue of early romantic relationships among middle school students.
After all, puppy love had never happened at the Ling family's secret training base.
Life is earned day by day, where is there time for romance?
So, is it really true that China's general education policy gives the younger generation too much freedom?
The young master is only 14 years old now.
When they were 14, they were still being subjected to relentless, life-or-death drills by instructors at the base.
Kids these days are definitely getting happier and happier!
Ling Yan was unaware that his unparalleled natural good looks had triggered a series of chain reactions on the international high school campus network, extending to the Ling family's shareholders' meeting, where a round of discussions and subtle feedback (on donating a building) had already taken place.
He was born with outstanding looks.
This is thanks to his mother's royal lineage and the exceptional genes of a superstar.
Although he and Ling Ling are ranked first and second respectively.
However, they are fundamentally different in terms of appearance.
Just like when he was Yan Zheng and Ling Ling was Yan Ze, no girl dared to look at Ling Yan more than once, let alone hand him a love letter or anything like that.
Ling Ling received far more love letters than when she was Yan Ze.
He pressed directly against the weak and damp Prince Ling Yan.
I don't know how those young girls could tell that the two of them were not in danger.
They received so many rainbow pornographic books they were overwhelmed.
Was the decision made by comparing their respective older brothers?
Children raised by the Ling family are all given the surname Ling.
However, the only ones currently eligible to inherit are Ling Yan, the only son of the first wife Ling Xiaoyang, and the two sons and one daughter of the second wife Ling Xiaofeng: Ling Kun, Ling Yan, and Ling Chaoyue.
The four Ling brothers (including a pseudo-brother Ling Ling) and their maternal brother Ye Yunran sat together at a cafeteria table made up of two four-seat benches pushed together.
Lin Zhihan, Ming Xiaoxiao, Ling Chaoyue, and Qin Zixian, a group of best friends, sat to the right of their main table.
At the dining table on the left sat the girls recruited by the second branch of the Ling family: Ming Anya, the eldest daughter of the Ming family (Ye Yunran's crush); Lin Yuexin, the true daughter of the Lin family; Xu Lu, the unparalleled flute player; and an unidentified follower.
Ye Yunran glanced at Ming Anya, the goddess he had secretly admired for a long time, on the table to his left, and asked the twin brothers opposite him with displeasure:
"Anya is timid. Which of you forced her to come?"
Everyone knows Ming Anya has a crush on the former school heartthrob Qin Yuting, but she always keeps to herself. Haven't you noticed that her group of girlfriends on the right doesn't include Ming Anya?
"It was me. Since my cousin arranged a marriage between the fake heiress of the Lin family, we naturally couldn't fall behind, so we found the eldest daughter of the Ming family and the real heiress of the Lin family."
Ling Kun recited a tongue twister quite well.
"An Ya is mine, Ling Kun. I won't allow you to take her by force!" Ye Yunran whispered a warning to Ling Kun, her face buried in her hands on the table.
Seeing Ye 2's fierce expression, Ling Kun curled his lips and readily agreed:
"Alright then, let Qin Zixian sit over there, and I'll switch with you."
Ye Yunran: ……
"Hey, Qin, could you switch seats with Ming?" Ye Yunran's blunt request prompted questions from her group of girlfriends.
"I'm not going, I'm scared."
Miss Qin flatly rejected Ye Yunran's unreasonable request.
The person she admires is Yan Shen, so naturally she wouldn't sit at the table with the school bully twins.
Ye Yunran turned to Ming Xiaoxiao for help.
"Ming-jie, why don't you switch places with your cousin?"
"Damn it, you old Ye, my Ling Shen is right here, I'm not going anywhere."
Ye Yunran turned her gaze to Ling Chaoyue, who shared the same father as the school bully's twin brothers.
Sister Ling haughtily turned her head away and lightly scolded:
"So you think your goddess's life is everything, while mine is just a nobody~"
Can't you see her still here, trembling and struggling to survive?
Ye Yunran would never provoke Ling Yan, and he certainly wouldn't trade his beloved childhood sweetheart, Lin Zhihan, for Ming Anya's table.
Ye Yunran was completely deflated.
He had neither Qin Yuting's good looks nor Ling Ling's fighting skills.
With only mediocre painting skills and subpar medical expertise, it was truly a failed unrequited love.
The food in the second canteen doesn't taste good anymore.
Ye Yunran poked and poked the four lion heads in front of him until they were like a honeycomb.
Ling Ling looked at her cheap deskmate with amusement and comforted him:
"Alright, Ye 2, do you think everyone is as love-struck as you?"
Our young masters, Kun and Yan, only care about the country.
I guarantee that even if I marry a wife, she'll just be a decoration.
Moreover, the candidates chosen so far are only temporary.
You still have a chance.
"Relax, relax."

"Pfft~" This amused Ling Yan, the perpetually venomous-faced, gloomy young man.
"Cousin, is this the medical expert you used to replace Changqing?"
"Looks like there's not much of a chance of winning." Ling Yan looked at Ye Yunran, who had a blank expression, with a mocking smile.
The subtext is that as long as the brothers hold Ming Anya tight, Ye 2 won't easily surrender.
"Yunran, Ling is right, you still have a chance."
"Boys like them will never win a girl's heart. You have to keep trying, I believe in you." Ling Yan gently encouraged Ye Yunran.
Ye Yunran raised her hopeful gaze and stared at the twin school bullies.
Ling Kun looked at Ye Yunran as if she were an idiot and said:
What would I do with her heart?
All I need is her.
Ye Yunran, pierced through the heart by a sword, clutched her chest, sobbing and running away.
A table was left with the Ling brothers, both male and female, their wicked laughter echoing in the air.
"You heartless bastards, you'll get your comeuppance!" Ye Yunran cursed as she ran, covering her ears.
