Meanwhile, Ling Yunlong received a call from the Ling family, saying that Old Madam Qin was about to visit. He hurriedly left Xie Xiaoai, with whom he was having a passionate encounter, and drove back alone.
As soon as he stepped into the house, Su Yu came to greet him with small, quick steps, and immediately began to question him:
"Ling Yunlong, what exactly do you want? Are you really willing to abandon your family for a vixen?"
"Aren't you annoying? You say the same two sentences all day long, it's so boring."
Ling Yunlong snorted coldly and turned to ask Uncle Fu, who was waiting to the side, "Hasn't Old Madam Qin arrived yet?"
"Logically speaking, we should be arriving soon."
Uncle Fu lowered his head, pretending not to notice the subtle atmosphere between Ling Yunlong and Su Yu, and responded respectfully.
Su Yu wanted to argue with Ling Yunlong, but he simply ignored her.
Sensing his increasingly cold attitude, Su Yu felt a lump in her throat and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Ling Yunlong turned away impatiently, pretending not to see Su Yu's tears.
Even though the paternity test results showed that he and Ling Tian were indeed father and daughter, his attitude towards Su Yu did not improve.
After a long standoff, considering that Su Yu's godfather, Ouyang Bin, whom she had recognized many years ago, was about to arrive in Linjiang, Ling Yunlong finally suppressed his nausea and reached out to pull her into his arms:
"Recently, all my troubles have piled up. It's my fault. I neglected your feelings and didn't give you enough patience and care."
"I thought you didn't want this family anymore."
Seeing that Ling Yunlong had relented, Su Yu could no longer contain her grievances and covered her face, sobbing softly.
Everyone thought that she would enjoy a life of ease after marrying into the Ling family.
Only she knows how she has survived all these years.
In the first few years after marrying Ling Yunlong, she had to make compromises for the sake of the group's development.
She accepted any offer from any of Shijian Group's business partners, whether it was to accompany them for drinks or to sleep with them.
The reason she did this was not only to solidify her position as the matriarch of the Ling family, but more importantly, she had already fallen deeply in love with Ling Yunlong during their time together.
I thought all the effort was worthwhile.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
Ling Yunlong was ultimately bewitched by that young and beautiful vixen...
Ling Yunlong gently stroked Su Yu's back, adopting a pitiful and affectionate demeanor, and coaxed her softly:
"Don't mention it. You and Xiaotian will always be the people I care about most."
With tears glistening in her eyes, Su Yu asked with a hint of resentment:
"If Xiaotian and I are the people you care about most, then what about Xie Xiao'ai?"
"I only dragged someone along to spite you, that's all. Believe me, from now on, I will never have anything to do with her again," Ling Yunlong assured her.
Su Yu knew that the reason Ling Yunlong's attitude changed so quickly was largely due to Ouyang Bin.
However, she didn't intend to break the long-lost harmonious atmosphere between the two. She simply leaned quietly against Ling Yunlong's chest, cooing in her usual sweet voice:
"Yunlong, don't lie to me. You know I believe everything you say."
Ling Yunlong raised his hand and gently pinched Su Yu's cheek, which was covered with a thick layer of powder, and said with a smile:
"That's natural."
While chatting with Su Yu, he would occasionally glance towards the iron gate, hoping that Old Madam Qin would come to visit soon.
In this way, he wouldn't need to play along with Su Yu's feigned affection.
Although Su Yu doesn't look like a middle-aged woman nearing forty at all, she looks more like a beautiful bride who has just entered the marriage hall.
But compared to Xie Xiao'ai, who is in the prime of her youth, she is naturally no match.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Yunlong could no longer muster any interest in Su Yu, and even felt extremely tormented when facing her.
Fortunately, his time alone with Su Yu was not long, and with Liu Bo's help, Old Madam Qin got out of the car with an elegant demeanor.
"It is an honor to have Madam Qin grace us with her presence."
Ling Yunlong, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, immediately went to greet her and exchanged pleasantries with Old Madam Qin in a polite and courteous manner.
"This is a small token of my appreciation for your first visit."
With a smile in her eyes, Madam Qin casually gestured to Uncle Liu to hand him a bag of fruit she had bought from a roadside stall.
"You're too kind, Madam."
Ling Yunlong glanced at the loose fruit in the red plastic bag, and his expression became particularly strange.
He thought to himself, "Is this old lady trying to be funny?"
They made a big show of visiting you, but they had the nerve to only bring a bag of cheap fruit?
Su Yu, who was standing right next to Ling Yunlong, clearly had the same idea as Ling Yunlong. Although she still had a polite smile on her face, her phoenix-shaped eyes revealed an obvious contempt.
"Didn't you say that the Qin family of Linjiang used to be the most powerful family in Linjiang? Even if the family has declined and is no longer as glorious as it once was, it shouldn't be this shabby, right?" She nudged Ling Yunlong's arm and muttered softly.
"Among the older generation, there are quite a few who are as stingy as Madam Qin."
As Ling Yunlong spoke, he had Wu Ma take the bag of fruit handed to him by Uncle Liu, and then politely welcomed Old Madam Qin into the living room:
"Madam, please."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Madam Qin nodded slightly, her usual carefree demeanor replaced by an air of elegance and poise.
She gently placed her hand on the back of Uncle Liu's hand, her steps elegant and composed to the extreme.
Su Yu glanced sideways at Old Madam Qin's gait and posture, her eyes filled with envy.
