Ling Mo crossed his arms, leaned back comfortably in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and gave a dismissive reply:
"Think what you want."
"..."
As soon as she finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the car again.
Ling Tian was so angry that tears streamed down her face, but she was unwilling to lose face in front of Ling Mo, so she could only bite her delicate lips and sob silently.
Ling Yunlong's anger had lessened somewhat compared to before.
For him, profit is the most important thing. Whether it's Ling Mo or Ling Tian, whoever can secure Liang Feifan as a major investor will be guaranteed to make a profit.
Su Yu said no more. She stared blankly at the brightly lit street scene outside the car window, her face full of worry as she pondered how to deal with the pressure from public opinion.
Tonight, in an attempt to divert media attention, she deliberately created the illusion that she was pregnant. Ultimately, however, she still couldn't control how the media steered public opinion.
After careful consideration, she finally opened WeChat and contacted her former agent, Zhao Jingchun.
[Brother Zhao, I've run into a little trouble, and I hope you can lend me a hand.]
Tonight's events are significant; several media outlets have already contacted me. How they ultimately write their articles largely depends on how much PR funding you provide.
How much do you need?
[It must start with at least one character.]
[One hundred thousand?]
One million.
Su Yu stared intently at the WeChat screen, pondered for a while, and then replied with a simple "OK".
She didn't intend to ask Ling Yunlong for this money. While Ling Yunlong had never restricted her spending, that didn't mean he would accept exorbitant media relations fees. Those who hadn't been in the entertainment industry had no idea how murky the waters were.
The thought of having to pay for the aftermath out of her own pocket made Su Yu even more unhappy.
She stared coldly at Ling Mo, who was resting with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror, her teeth clenched with hatred.
It was because of Shi Ying's appearance that Ling Yunlong looked down on her. She finally managed to snatch the position of the matriarch of the Ling family from Shi Ying, but she also earned the reputation of being a mistress.
Now that Shi Ying's newborn son has just returned from the countryside, he has managed to make her lose a million without lifting a finger. How could she be willing to accept that?
However, even if she was unwilling, she had no way to deal with it for the time being. The kidnappers had failed, and it was uncertain whether the police would uncover any clues.
The only thing to do is to back down and try to cultivate a good image of a loving mother, so as to completely silence the media first.
After a long silence, Su Yu suddenly turned to Ling Yunlong and said:
"I'll take Xiaotian and Momo to school first thing tomorrow morning. Momo's grades aren't good, so we need to pay more attention to it. Otherwise, I'm really worried that she'll be bullied at school."
"Alright."
Ling Yunlong casually agreed, still maintaining his indifferent and aloof demeanor.
Half an hour later, as soon as they returned to the Ling residence, Aunt Wu rushed towards Ling Yunlong with a fawning expression, carrying a square cardboard box. "Master, look."
"What is that?"
Ling Yunlong changed into slippers, glanced impatiently at the colorful women's underwear in the cardboard box, and thought to himself that this Aunt Wu was becoming more and more unreliable.
She actually showed him a whole box of women's underwear; he's not a pervert.
What are you looking at this thing for?
Su Yu followed Ling Yunlong's gaze, her expression changed slightly, and she shouted at Wu Ma, "What kind of behavior is this? Hurry up and throw this thing out!"
Wu Ma was caught off guard by Su Yu's sudden outburst and panicked, explaining tremblingly:
"This box of lingerie was sent to Miss Mo. I didn't notice it at first and thought it was toiletries that had just arrived, which is why I opened it."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu suddenly became interested and moved closer to Wu Ma, saying, "Let me see the sender's information."
It wasn't written on it.
“That’s strange…” Su Yu picked out a transparent lace bra from the box and called out to Ling Mo, who was about to go upstairs, with a hint of disdain, “Mo Mo, do you know who sent this to you, or did you buy it yourself?”
Ling Yunlong glanced coldly at the lace lingerie in Su Yu's hand, his face turning ashen.
He had also heard about Ling Mo's sordid deeds in the countryside.
However, he originally thought that Ling Mo would restrain herself after returning to the Ling residence, but he did not expect her to be so shameless!
Who delivered it?
Ling Yunlong glared at her angrily and questioned her sharply.
"Um?"
Ling Mo looked at the lace lingerie in Su Yu's hand with a puzzled expression, then calmly met Ling Yunlong's gaze. "Didn't Aunt Wu say that there was no sender information on the package? If it wasn't written there, how would I know?"
After saying that, she went upstairs without looking back.
Ling Yunlong glared at Ling Mo's slender back and cursed, "I raised him with such care for seventeen years, and he turned out to be an ingrate!"
"Sigh, Mo Mo is indeed too willful." Su Yu shook her head, looking exhausted.
Ling Mo was too lazy to watch their charade, so she pretended not to hear their whispers and pondered for a moment, wondering who would send her a box of underwear.
Although it was just a trivial matter, it made her realize that everything after her rebirth seemed to have deviated from its original trajectory. Just like the anonymous delivery incident, which had never happened before her rebirth.
It seems that she still needs to put in some effort to guard against all sorts of monsters and demons.
"Annoying."
Ling Mo kicked off her slippers, took out an unidentified laptop from her faded shoulder bag, and began browsing Su Yu's information.
Just like last time, there were thirty full slides, but not a single useful clue.
"Impossible. If she didn't have a powerful backer, how did she manage to secure her position as the matriarch of the Ling family?"
Ling Mo rested his chin on his hand, repeatedly browsing through Su Yu's information.
Logically speaking, given Ling Yunlong's eagerness for a son and Su Yu's inability to conceive, he should have already considered other options.
In reality, Su Yu has always wielded considerable influence within the Ling family and has never suffered any loss.
Where exactly did the problem lie?
Ling Mo tossed his computer aside and then sent a WeChat message to Ryan, a well-known agent in China.
[Dude, Su Yu caused such a big stir today, why isn't she trending on Weibo yet?]
Her former agent, Zhao Jingchun, used numerous connections, and she also spent a seven-figure sum on public relations to smooth things over.
[You think seven figures can settle things? She'll leak this information to her old rival, Bai Jie, and get her back in the headlines again.]
"Okay, leave it to me."
Upon receiving the reply, Ling Mo comfortably shifted his posture, opened the game interface, and continued playing with his friends.
