Why would I be nervous? I think he's quite kind.
"Huh? Kind?"
Song Xingwan blinked, looking quite surprised, and lowered her voice, speaking with feigned seriousness:
"Dragon Chan is known in the industry as the 'Lion of the M Continent.' When he gets angry, his ruthless methods can definitely shake the global economy. How can you tell that such a formidable person is kind and approachable?"
Ling Mo shook his head, his face also filled with confusion:
"I can't quite explain it, but I not only find him kind and approachable, but I also feel a strange sense of intimacy from time to time, as if we've known each other for many years."
"MoMo, you wouldn't have fallen for Zhan Dong, would you?"
"Not at all. It just feels familiar."
"It's best to be careful. What if he takes a fancy to you, who is outstanding in every way? I'm afraid that with his immense power, once he falls for you, he will stop at nothing to get you."
Song Xingwan was about to give Ling Mo a few more words of advice when her stomach suddenly churned, and she began to dry heave uncontrollably.
Why are you gagging for no reason?
Ling Mo patted Song Xingwan on the back and asked with a slightly worried expression.
Song Xingwan clutched her chest tightly with both hands, and it took her a long time to recover: "I think it's because of too much mental stress, plus forgetting to eat breakfast, that caused my stomach problems to suddenly flare up."
"But your symptoms don't seem like a stomach problem. How about I take your pulse first?"
"Don't worry, I'm really fine. Go with Zhan Dong quickly, don't keep him waiting." Song Xingwan forced a smile, but her pale face betrayed her weakness.
"Wanwan, there's something I have to say. I have a feeling your symptoms are more like those of someone who's pregnant..."
Before Ling Mo could finish speaking, he saw that Bai Hu had already walked up to him, so he had no choice but to shut up and follow him out of the DC Group office building.
"Miss Ling, please get in the car."
Baihu gestured for Lingmo to get into the car.
The moment he closed the car door, a bright white flash suddenly appeared in a corner not far away.
Ling Mo looked warily in the direction of the flashing lights and said in a deep voice, "I can't believe they're still filming us after all these days."
"What, is someone following you?"
Zhan Hanjue's eyes turned cold as he subtly followed Ling Mo's gaze.
Ling Mo nodded, his words carrying a palpable sense of guilt:
"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. Recently, there has indeed been a group of media outlets following me closely. They rarely disturb my life, so I always forget that there is such a group of people following me."
Now that they've captured me getting into the car, I don't know what rumors they'll spread about it.
"They dare not."
Zhan Hanjue didn't take the media reporters hiding in the shadows seriously at all.
Seeing Zhan Hanjue's composure, Ling Mo calmed down and stopped paying attention to the group of media reporters behind him who were frantically pressing the shutter button.
After the car had been driving for about twenty minutes, Zhan Hanjue, who was resting with his eyes closed, was disturbed by a series of crisp bell sounds and slowly opened his eyes.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Ling Mo's phone screen.
Upon catching a glimpse of the bolded "Ling Yunlong" on the screen, he unconsciously frowned and asked in a low voice:
"A call from your dad?"
"Um."
Ling Mo nodded, hesitated for a while, and finally answered the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Ling Yunlong launched into a barrage of emotionless interrogations:
"Skipping class every other day, what exactly are you trying to do? Get back to class right now, or I'll throw you into the countryside if you keep acting like this."
"..."
Ling Mo did not answer, but listened quietly to Ling Yunlong's barbed words on the other end of the phone.
Sitting beside Ling Mo, Zhan Hanjue heard Ling Yunlong's insults and suddenly began to doubt whether Ling Mo was actually Ling Yunlong's biological daughter.
If he and Shi Ying also had a daughter, he would absolutely spoil her rotten and would never yell at her so harshly.
Furthermore, he still clearly remembers that Ling Yunlong told him personally seventeen years ago that after Shi Ying died in childbirth, he was unable to accept the pain of losing his wife and son, so he took home the abandoned baby born on the same day at Renhe Hospital and raised him.
Therefore, it seems that Ling Mo is not the child of Ling Yunlong and Su Yu, but rather an abandoned baby that Ling Yunlong adopted seventeen years ago.
On the other side, Ling Yunlong, having received no reply from Ling Mo, became even more indignant, roaring at the top of his lungs:
Did you heed my warning?
Ling Mo completely ignored his anger and replied indifferently:
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
What kind of attitude is this?
Ling Yunlong was once again so angry at Ling Mo's indifferent attitude that he jumped up and down.
However, in order to gain access to the Jiang family as a relative, he ultimately chose to compromise.
After suppressing his anger, he spoke slowly:
"You'll be attending Grandpa Lu's birthday banquet tonight. Your aunt has already prepared an evening gown for you, so remember to come back early."
"Um."
Ling Mo gave a cold reply and hung up the phone in the blink of an eye.
"You don't have a good relationship with your family?"
Zhan Hanjue listlessly fiddled with the small sandalwood prayer beads in his hand, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Ling Mo was aloof by nature. Even though he already deeply resented Ling Yunlong and Su Yu, he would never randomly grab someone he had just met and start pouring out his grievances to them.
