Last time, she just wanted to ask him to clarify why he insisted on telling her it was a counterfeit when it was clearly the genuine Deep Sea Heart.
Unexpectedly, he scolded her, making her want to argue but feeling guilty, so she could only grit her teeth and listen to his lecture.
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Mo also pulled out seven business cards from his pocket.
She laid out the seven business cards face down in her palm and said slowly:
"Third Master, why don't you draw one too?"
"What's this?"
Qin Beiming randomly picked a business card with a pure black background. After flipping it over, he saw that below Ling Mo's name on the card were the words "Founder of LMO Brand" and "CEO of LMO Racing Team Club".
He had anticipated Ling Mo's identity.
Previously, when Lu Jinjiu told him that Ling Mo had given him a new LMO racing car, he had considered this possibility.
However, Ling Mo's strength was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.
She's not even eighteen yet, but she's already reached a level that many people can't achieve in several lifetimes.
If a few more years pass, she'll probably be on the rich list.
"Mo Mo, how many secrets do you still have that I don't know?"
"Not many. The remaining six business cards are roughly my other six aliases."
"..."
Qin Beiming felt a pang of embarrassment and was about to reach for the second business card when she had already put the card back in her pocket, smiling faintly:
"Isn't it more fun to just reveal it directly? Why don't you guess again?"
"Fine. One day, I'll personally expose all your secrets." Qin Beiming abruptly withdrew his hand; he actually found the process of uncovering her secrets quite amusing.
He always had endless patience for her.
At the same time, Zhan Hanjue had already waded across the lawn, seemingly oblivious to Qin Beiming's location, and walked straight between Qin Beiming and Ling Mo.
Meeting Qin Beiming's slightly hostile gaze, Zhan Hanjue did not back down and slammed his shoulder hard.
The next instant, a loud "bang" was heard, and Zhan Hanjue and Qin Beiming both took a step back due to the force of the impact.
"Hey kid, did you break anything?"
Zhan Hanjue slightly raised his chin, a hint of provocation in his sharp, hawk-like eyes.
Qin Beiming was not to be outdone, and replied coldly:
"I'm fine. Are you alright? If you broke anything, you can come to me for compensation."
"I'm not that frail."
Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, then stumbled out of the lush lawn.
Watching Zhan Hanjue's departing figure, Ling Mo became even more confused and asked Qin Beiming in bewilderment:
"Is there a conflict between you?"
"He has impure thoughts about you," Qin Beiming said bluntly.
"Yeah?"
Ling Mo couldn't tell what Zhan Hanjue was thinking about her.
She felt that Zhan Hanjue seemed strangely kind, like an elder in her family, with a hint of doting affection in his words.
"It's nothing important, you should go to class."
Qin Beiming gently patted Ling Mo's head and escorted her into the teaching building before beginning his investigation of Zhan Hanjue.
...
That night, at the Lu family villa.
The dazzling lights, like sparks floating in the sky, flowed through the night, creating a picturesque scene with the white clouds in the heavens.
Outside the lawn, the sweet aroma of desserts wafted gently, mingling with the rich scent of spirits, instantly enhancing the atmosphere of the birthday banquet.
As the moonlight gradually became clearer, accompanied by melodious and gentle classical music, it made those dressed in their finest attire for the banquet even more radiant.
Under the hazy night sky, Ling Mo followed Ling Yunlong and Su Yu at a leisurely pace, and together with Ling Tian, who was dressed in an elegant gown, they crossed the long lawn and strolled into the banquet hall.
As soon as she entered, Ling Tian's dazzling array of jewels drew gasps of astonishment from everyone present.
"Tsk... Linjiang City's top socialite is nothing special!"
"Look at her outfit, she looks like a nouveau riche, trying to pile all the valuable things on herself, so tacky."
"Who can argue with that? When compared like this, Miss Ling is indeed far superior to Miss Ling Er in terms of temperament. Although her clothes are not as luxurious as Miss Ling Er's, her overall noble aura is more dazzling than the jewelry on Miss Ling Er's head, neck and arms."
"I wonder what this Miss Ling is thinking? Is she eager to tell the whole world that she married into the wealthy Liang family?"
...
Ling Tian felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing these gossips, but she still managed to maintain a polite smile on her face.
The reason he dressed like a nouveau riche and shoved all his valuable jewelry on himself was simply to save face.
Because of a counterfeit necklace, her engagement party with Liang Feifan has become the subject of much gossip.
This time, she had to present herself in a splendid manner so that those who had laughed at her could see that she was doing very well.
Ling Mo saw through Ling Tian's thoughts at a glance. Without saying anything, he simply found a quiet corner to sit down and waited quietly for the "bloody storm" that was about to follow.
At the banquet, toasts and laughter filled the air.
The table where Ling Mo sat seemed rather deserted.
She has always preferred quiet, and since no one bothers her, she is quite content with her freedom.
Meanwhile, in her blind spot, Su Yu had already taken Chen Lan's arm and started a secret discussion.
"Lan-jie, are you all ready on your end?"
