Seeing Qin Beiming staring blankly at his phone screen and laughing like an idiot, Old Madam Qin waved her hand in front of his eyes:
"Beibei, could you be possessed? You're smiling like an idiot."
"..."
Qin Beiming's smile vanished instantly. He carefully put his phone in his pocket, making no attempt to change the ringtone.
The "thank you" at the end of the ringtone truly touched his heart.
He originally thought that Ling Mo was a very vengeful girl and would definitely remember his violent behavior last night.
Unexpectedly, while she was angrily playing a prank on him, she also took the opportunity to thank him.
Sigh~
This child is so cute.
Not only did she look exactly like him, but even her subtle, hidden thoughts perfectly captured his heart.
Qin Beiming was in a great mood and was about to drive to the Ling residence when he bumped into Uncle Liu, who was panting as he rushed back.
"Young Master, Madam, let me tell you, the Ling family is truly despicable; they actually ganged up to bully Miss Ling!"
Uncle Liu came running up, almost bumping into Qin Beiming.
"What's wrong?"
For the first time ever, Qin Beiming didn't move aside, but instead reached out and supported Liu Bo's shoulder.
"When I rushed to the Ling residence to help Miss Ling out of the predicament, Ling Yunlong was about to whip her. After I stopped him, he pushed out another daughter of the Ling family, insisting that it was the unfamiliar girl who saved the young master."
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qin's lips trembled with anger, and she repeatedly clutched her chest with both hands:
"Damn it! Who does Ling Yunlong think he is? How dare he hit my precious granddaughter-in-law?"
"Was she whipped?" Qin Beiming's eyes turned cold instantly. If he had known that Ling Mo was living such a miserable life in the Ling family, he shouldn't have listened to her and should have directly taken action to clear all obstacles for her.
No, not at all.
Uncle Liu shook his head, took a breath, and then continued:
"Ling Yunlong's strength doesn't seem to be as great as Miss Ling's. Miss Ling gripped the other end of the whip tightly and almost shook Ling Yunlong off."
"You old geezer! You only said half of what you meant, and it scared my heart so much it made my heart pound."
Old Madam Qin gave Uncle Liu a reproachful look, her voice still trembling with extreme anger.
"Please don't be offended, Madam. I'm so anxious and flustered that I can't say so much in one breath. Please allow me to calm down for a moment." Uncle Liu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and smiled apologetically.
Seeing this, Qin Beiming, for the first time ever, poured Liu Bo a glass of water.
Although his face showed no emotion, his deep, resonant voice betrayed a palpable anxiety:
"How is Miss Ling doing now?"
"Thank you, young master..."
Liu Bo was flattered and overwhelmed. He gripped the water glass Qin Beiming handed him tightly in both hands, no longer daring to be careless, and said in detail:
"Miss Ling's expression was relatively calm, as if she had become accustomed to the abuse from the Ling family. After I explained my purpose to the Ling family, Ling Yunlong's attitude towards Miss Ling improved significantly. Judging from that, he shouldn't use family discipline on her again anytime soon."
"You old scoundrel! Even tigers don't eat their cubs! But he's so greedy, he won't even let such an outstanding young girl go."
Old Madam Qin snorted coldly, momentarily confused by Ling Yunlong's actions, and anxiously questioned Uncle Liu in front of Qin Beiming:
"Did you do as I asked you to plant a miniature listening device in the Ling family's living room?"
"A bugging device? Grandma is quite adept at doing that."
Qin Beiming's lips twitched violently as he recalled the listening devices he had found in cars, pillows, and under beds over the years. He felt an urge to drag Old Madam Qin to his side and give her a good scolding.
Feeling guilty, Old Madam Qin hid behind Uncle Liu, only daring to stare at the intimidating-looking Qin Beiming with her eyes that showed no signs of age, muttering under her breath:
"Brother Bei, don't forget, I'm your grandma! If you dare to scold me, I'll cry for you."
"This will not be repeated."
Qin Beiming snorted coldly, but ultimately couldn't bear to blame Old Madam Qin, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Qin Beiming had no intention of settling scores with her, Old Madam Qin stepped out from behind Uncle Liu and skillfully took the phone, which was specifically used for eavesdropping, from Uncle Liu's hand. She then played back all the sounds recorded by the eavesdropping device in the Ling family's living room.
At first, Old Madam Qin's expression was relatively calm, and she only muttered in a low voice:
"Ling Yunlong is incredibly stupid! He actually listened to the nonsense of a lousy Taoist priest. A few Five Elements Eight Trigrams Talismans can actually sell for five million? Half a year ago, I specially went to Foshan to pray for a Guanyin statue that grants children, and it only cost one million."
"The pot calling the kettle black" (meaning that someone who has taken fifty steps is also guilty of taking a hundred, and that they are equally
Qin Beiming felt a headache coming on whenever he thought of the various sizes of Guanyin statues of Guanyin, resembling Russian nesting dolls, displayed in his house.
He originally planned to find any excuse to go to the Ling residence to find Ling Mo, but after taking two steps, he heard in the recording that Su Yu, Ling Yunlong and others were actually planning to marry Ling Mo to that mentally challenged man from the Jiang family.
"This family is utterly heartless. Their granddaughter-in-law is so lively and lovely; marrying a mentally challenged man will ruin her entire future!"
While angry, Madam Qin felt even more sorry for Ling Mo's situation.
No wonder Lu Jinjiu always told her that his new wife didn't like to smile and had a very cold personality.
How could a little girl raised in such a den of wolves possibly be as carefree as her peers?
So-called indifference is nothing more than a protective layer.
"What's even more infuriating is that the matriarch of the Ling family has no intention of telling Miss Ling the truth. If this continues, they might just drug Miss Ling and send her to someone else's house."
When Liu Bo thought of Su Yu's hypocritical face, he couldn't help but feel a chill for Ling Mo.
"Does the Ling family have another daughter?" Qin Beiming asked Uncle Liu, glancing sideways.
He thought to himself that if Su Yu and Ling Yunlong dared to touch Ling Mo in the slightest, he wouldn't mind secretly doing something to make their precious daughter marry that fool from the Jiang family in place of Ling Mo.
