"The Qin family..."
Ling Yunlong's eyes darkened as he carefully examined Liu Bo, who was wearing a dark blue mandarin jacket, his thoughts suddenly drifting away.
Today, only the Huo, Lu, Gu, and Liang families in Linjiang City can be considered as powerful and prestigious families.
However, if we go back a few decades, the situation is quite different.
Back in the day, Old Master Qin, a warlord by birth, was arguably the most prestigious person in all of Linjiang. At that time, the Qin family was undoubtedly the largest family in Linjiang, possessing both wealth and power, and enjoying unparalleled prestige.
Although the Qin family began to decline after the passing of Old Master Qin.
Regardless, the Qin family was a distinguished family, and its position in high society remained very secure.
If one is fortunate enough to be on good terms with the Qin family, it will certainly bring many benefits...
Su Yu didn't have any particular impression of the Qin family in Linjiang. She only knew that the Qin family's feng shui was not very good, that two young masters had died young, and that the remaining third young master of the Qin family was not in good health.
He was said to be a sickly, ill-tempered man with a terrible temper and an extremely ugly appearance; it was even predicted that he would not live past the age of twenty-five.
However, she didn't care whether the third young master of the Qin family was alive or dead.
She secretly pondered Liu Bo's words: "I came here specifically to thank Miss Ling at the request of Madam Qin and Young Master Qin."
Miss Ling...
I wonder if the Qin family butler refers to Ling Mo or Ling Tian?
Ling Mo is aloof and unlikely to offer help to others.
Furthermore, she was out fooling around with some random man all night and had no time or energy to save anyone.
Therefore, the only person who could have saved the third young master of the Qin family is Ling Tian.
Realizing that her daughter had somehow gotten involved with the Qin family, Su Yu quickly stood up, beaming as she treated Uncle Liu as an honored guest, and happily waved to Ling Tian:
"Little Sweetie, come and greet Butler Liu."
Uncle Liu frowned, about to bluntly tell Su Yu that she had chosen the wrong person, when Ling Yunlong, acting as if they were old friends, sat down next to him and began praising Ling Tian eloquently:
“My daughter is usually very low-key, and she never mentioned such a big thing to me. I guess young people like that, doing good deeds without seeking recognition.”
As they were talking, Ling Tian was pushed in front of Uncle Liu by Aunt Wu, Sister Zhang, and others.
She pursed her lower lip slightly, her eyes filled with confusion, looking somewhat lost.
Last night, she didn't save any of the Qin family's young master at all, nor did she know what he looked like.
Could it be that the Miss Ling that Uncle Liu mentioned wasn't referring to her, but rather to Ling Mo?
No.
Logically speaking, it's unlikely.
Last night, Ling Mo was so busy fooling around with other men that he was overwhelmed with work, let alone having time to save someone.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian slowly raised her bright smile and greeted Uncle Liu in a generous and proper manner, thus acknowledging the identity of the Qin family's young master as his savior.
If the person wasn't saved by Ling Mo, then the young master of the Qin family must have mistaken the person.
If that's the case, why doesn't she just go with the flow?
Although the Qin family is not as powerful as before, its foundation is still extremely deep.
If she can gain the support of the Qin family, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will definitely be able to firmly hold onto her position as the top socialite in Linjiang until the day she becomes the matriarch of the Liang family.
"Are you sure it's really the young master you saved?"
Liu Bo looked speechlessly at Ling Tian, who was smiling gently, and silently labeled her a "liar" in his heart.
Before heading to the Ling residence, Old Madam Qin, fearing he might mistake her for someone else, pointed to a photo of Ling Mo and Qin Beiming together that Lu Jinjiu had privately sent her, and repeatedly urged him to keep his sharp eyes open and make sure he recognized her granddaughter-in-law.
At first, Uncle Liu was very confident that he would not make any mistakes in such a small matter.
Unexpectedly, before he could even settle in, the Ling family pulled off a daring stunt, a truly spectacular one.
When Uncle Liu asked her that question, Ling Tian's face turned bright red. She lowered her head guiltily and stammered, "..."
“Last night, I did save a dark-skinned man with a scar on his eyebrow, but I don’t know if he was the young master of the Qin family.”
The main reason she dared to describe the appearance in such detail was that she had heard Wu Xinyi describe the appearance of the third young master of the Qin family before the Lunar New Year.
Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Wu Xinyi, like her, had never met the mysterious Third Young Master of the Qin family.
Previously, Wu Xinyi had only fabricated this lie, which she thought was unverifiable, in order to highlight her status in high society.
"Cough cough—"
Uncle Liu twitched his lips, completely unable to listen to Ling Tian's rambling nonsense.
It's worth noting that Qin Beiming's looks are considered exceptional even in the entertainment industry.
What does "dark skin" and "scar above the eyebrow" mean?
That's utter nonsense!
Before the New Year, he had heard others describe Qin Beiming's appearance in this way.
Surprisingly, the rumor has been circulating for so long and is still gaining traction.
These people are really bored out of their minds!
Uncle Liu had deep feelings for Qin Beiming, so seeing Ling Tian describe him like that naturally displeased him. He simply ignored her and walked towards Ling Mo, asking with a beaming smile:
"You must be Miss Ling who saved the young master from danger last night?"
Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?
Ling Mo was speechless. She thought Ling Tian had a romantic encounter last night, but she never expected to be the one getting caught up in the gossip.
Uncle Liu nodded vigorously, as if sifting through chaff, and said with certainty:
“There’s absolutely no way he could mistake you. The young master just said that when he brought you back, you were still wearing your middle school uniform. Besides, the old lady also showed me your photo.”
"..."
Hearing Uncle Liu speak with such certainty, Ling Mo understood immediately. The young master of the Qin family he was talking about was most likely Qin Beiming.
What puzzled her most was why Old Madam Qin had her photo.
Furthermore, she had only been inside for less than fifteen minutes, so how did Uncle Liu manage to arrive so quickly to help her out?
"Steward Liu, did Third Master really send you to find me?" Ling Mo asked tentatively.
"Exactly."
Liu Bo smiled slightly, without offering any further explanation.
In fact, more than an hour earlier, when Qin Beiming was still at the Emperor Hotel, he had already come up with an excuse for Ling Mo to deal with his family's questions.
While she was changing clothes in the presidential suite next door, he made several phone calls to Uncle Liu, urging him to hurry to the Ling residence to "put out the fire" so that the young girl wouldn't be scolded by her family because of what happened last night.
That's why Uncle Liu was able to arrive at the Ling residence so quickly.
Su Yu stared in astonishment at the increasingly bizarre scene, then quickly grabbed Ling Tian's arm and asked in a low voice:
"What exactly is going on?"
Ling Yunlong was also completely bewildered, frequently glancing at Ling Tian's uneasy little face.
Ling Tian's cheeks flushed red, and her voice was barely audible as she weakly explained, "Perhaps... the person I saved wasn't the young master of the Qin family."
