Ling Tian's face showed displeasure, and her voice revealed an obvious hint of anger:
"Mom, you must tell Dad to send this little hussy back to the countryside! Every time I see her, I feel like rushing up and tearing her cold and unrestrained mouth apart."
Su Yu's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his voice to say:
"How could I not want to send her back to the countryside? The problem is those unscrupulous media outlets, who keep pressing us about such a private matter. If we send her back at this critical juncture, it will not only damage the Ling family's reputation, but also the interests of the Shijian Group."
After hearing Su Yu's analysis, Ling Tian became even more depressed.
She turned her head away, asking unwillingly:
"Isn't there any way to make her disappear completely from our sight?"
"How could there not be?"
A glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes, but she did not offer any further explanation.
Turning around, she took the small brown teddy bear from the maid's hands, raising her voice even higher:
"Xiaotian, go and take that haute couture dress from my room to your sister."
"Um."
Ling Tian nodded obediently, a pure and innocent smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Although she didn't know what Su Yu was up to, she could guess the secret behind the dress pretty accurately based on her years of exposure to it.
Thinking about it this way, she finally felt a little better.
On the other side, Ling Mo had just entered the bedroom and, before even taking off his clothes, went straight to the shower room, grabbed the showerhead and poured it over his face.
The cold water splashed onto her flawless cheeks, causing a slight sting.
However, compared to the dull pain of being corroded by strong acid, this little bit of force is nothing.
Ling Tian pushed open the half-closed door and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ling Mo's strange behavior in the shower room, which made her feel a little puzzled.
Is it uncomfortable to take a shower while wearing clothes?
Or perhaps this is how country bumpkins from small towns bathe?
"who?"
Ling Mo suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, turned off the faucet with a "snap," quickly turned around, and draped the towel hanging on the shower door over his shoulders.
Ling Tian's heart pounded when she met her sharp eyes.
That look in his eyes, it's like he wants to eat someone alive, so fierce and wild.
I heard that Ling Mo is used to living in the countryside, and he's good at all kinds of fighting and brawling...
Judging from her expression, are you going to beat her up?!
Ling Tian subconsciously took a step back, and even her speech was not as fluent as before, "Sister...sister, this is a dress that Mom specially ordered for you from Paris. Remember to wear it later."
"Put the dress down and get out."
The girl, who had been standing in the shower, withdrew her sharp, hawk-like eyes, pulled off the hair drying cap from the hook, and slammed the bathroom door shut with her toes.
She really didn't want to waste her emotions and energy on Ling Tian, a two-faced innocent girl.
She also vividly remembered the out-of-season haute couture dress that was now lying obediently on her bed.
In her past life, she happily changed into the dress that Su Yu had carefully prepared for her to attend Ling Tian's birthday party. However, the dress straps unexpectedly slipped, and she was left with only a pair of nipple covers on her upper body, making a complete fool of herself. She was not only humiliated by the guests present, but also became a trending topic on social media because of it.
When she first returned to the Ling residence, she was still unaware of the treacherous nature of people and the deceitful schemes, naively believing that it was all just an accident.
Looking back now, she was incredibly foolish.
After drying his wet hair, Ling Mo collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and sent a WeChat message.
【Fox Spirit, are you there?】
bite--
Her plain black phone, of unknown brand, quickly received a reply.
[Boss, I'm here!]
Please help me compile all relevant information about Su Yu, the wife of the chairman of Shijian Group.
【Please wait a moment, boss. It will take about half an hour.】
【Um. 】
Ling Mo knew that Su Yu's ability to keep Ling Yunlong firmly under her control was not solely due to her charming and alluring face.
Only absolute self-interest can completely conquer a rational and cold-blooded man like Ling Yunlong.
The reason I never thought of investigating Su Yu's background in my past life was mainly because of a touch of kindness deep in my heart.
Although she knew that Ling Tian disliked her, she didn't know that Su Yu, who was once her mother Shi Ying's best friend, also harbored malicious intentions.
This time, when she returned to the Ling residence, she wanted to see what Su Yu was planning to do next.
"Miss Mo, have you changed your clothes? Madam and the second young lady have already gone to the Imperial Hotel, and Master is still waiting for you downstairs."
There was a rapid knocking at the door.
"I see."
Ling Mo glanced at the light pink, out-of-season haute couture dress on the bed, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He has a touch of roguishness and a hint of cold indifference.
...
Ling Tian's seventeenth birthday party was a very grand affair.
Ling Yunlong spent a fortune to book the VIP lounge of the Emperor Hotel. Su Yu also used her connections to invite almost all the wealthy ladies and socialites in Linjiang City. The atmosphere was filled with toasts and laughter.
As the birthday girl today, Ling Tian was surrounded by socialites and heiresses and placed in the center position, enjoying unparalleled glory.
Xiong Chumo looked enviously at Ling Tian's sparkling diamond-encrusted haute couture dress and asked, "Tian Tian, is your dress from Ella's summer fashion week haute couture collection? I saw it in a fashion magazine a few days ago."
"Yes, this is a birthday gift that my mom specially ordered for me from Paris."
Ling Tian wore a polite smile, and her every move exuded the air of a princess.
"Sweetie, your mommy is so good to you."
"If I could have one of Ella's haute couture gowns, I'd be willing to eat dirt for half a month."
The socialites surrounding Ling Tian showered her with compliments and praises.
Just then, Ling Mo gently took Ling Yunlong's arm and, under the astonished gazes of everyone, slowly stepped into the banquet hall.
Her out-of-season Ella haute couture gown shone brightly in that instant.
The light pink tulle slit dress accentuated her slender waist, long legs, and fair skin.
Most importantly, Ling Mo's aloof temperament always perfectly captures the unique essence of top luxury brands.
At first glance, she appears pure and lovely; upon closer inspection, she is stunningly beautiful.
The bustling reception hall suddenly fell silent, and all eyes turned to Ling Mo.
Xiong Chumo nudged Ling Tian's arm in surprise and stammered:
"Why is she here? Isn't she in the countryside?"
“My dad saw that she was not studying well in the countryside, so he brought her back. Who knew that she would almost be expelled from the top high school because she got a zero on a mock exam as soon as she got back.”
Ling Tian glared resentfully at Ling Mo, who was as noble and elegant as a princess, her eyes blazing with jealousy.
She never expected that an out-of-season dress could make Ling Moyan steal the show.
