Ling Tianyi followed Xia Xiaoluo’s words, he could only go to sleep obediently. He slept for a long time, but didn’t sleep well, and had a nightmare.
In Ling Tianyi’s dream, Xia Jingru stabbed into Xia Xiaoluo’s heart with a sharp knife. He woke up with cold sweat suddenly, and he was unable to calm down for a long time. So he got up and took a cold shower in the bathroom, trying to wake himself up.
Ling Tianyi looked at the watch, it was over five o’clock in the morning. So he didn’t sleep again, and he called Yao Sheng.
“Hello!” Yao Sheng’s voice sounded sleepy.
“Are you sleeping? Have you finished what I told you to do? How dare you sleep?” Ling Tianyi questioned directly.
“I have finished it. That woman is still in Macao! She has not come to A City. I’ve sent all the materials to your email, why don’t you check it first, you disturb my rest, you are a bastard!” Yao Sheng was nagging.
Ling Tianyi was unwilling to listen to Yao Sheng’s nagging. He hung up directly and turned on the laptop.
There was a group of photos of Xia Jingru in Macao and her bank consumption information, which all showed clearly that Xia Jingru hadn’t come back yet. Yao Sheng explained clearly in the email that there was no information about Xia Jingru’s flights on the airlines as well, so Xia Xiaoluo and the others were all safe at present.
Ling Tianyi sighed a relief. He went downstairs to wake himself up with a cup of coffee, waiting for Ling Tianxue to get up as he needed to know everything Ling Tianxue knew. By doing so, he could make the next plan to prevent bad things from happening.
The servants prepared breakfast for Ling Tianyi. After Ling Tianyi had breakfast and finished dealing with several emails on business, it was already half-past seven. Ling Tianyi couldn’t wait any longer, so he pulled Ling Tianxue out of bed directly.
“Please, I want to sleep. I’m suffering jet lag. Are you my biological brother? Which of us was picked up by our parents from the garbage?” Ling Tianxue sat at the dinning-table, she was depressed.
“What nonsense!” He Meishu and Ling Desheng came to have breakfast as well. As soon as they got to the dining hall, they heard Ling Tianxue shouting there.
“You are both my children. Ten months of pregnancy is so hard for me!” He Meishu sat down and stared at Ling Tianxue.
“Mom! I just came back from abroad, I’m suffering the jet lag. He woke me up early in the morning and threw the cold water on my face!” Ling Tianxue looked wronged, hoping that He Meishu could care about her as her mother.
Ling Tianyi slapped the table. “I didn’t wake you up to complain, you have to tell me clearly about the affairs of Xia Jingru. Yesterday, you left a word and became drunk unconsciously. You are awake now, so tell me what you know, so that your sister-in-law won’t be framed by her. Or your brother will be single and lonely his whole life. Are you satisfied only when I am living a miserable life?”
“OK. Let it go! I’m unlucky!” Ling Tianxue took a sip of milk. “I will say it. There is something wrong with it.”
“Before I came back, I went to see a friend in Macao. I happened to see Xia Jingru in the restaurant. She was arguing with a woman who seemed to be her mother.” Ling Tianxue said.
“What did they say?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“Xia Jingru wanted to go back to A City, but her mother didn’t agree,” Ling Tianxue said and took another bite of the sandwich.
“Go on!” Ling Desheng asked. He was so smart that he knew there was something wrong.
“Xia Jingru said that she wanted to perish together with someone, and never let them get married. I didn’t know if she was going to destroy my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding.” Ling Tianxue said and paused, “However, Xia Jingru’s mother did not want her daughter to come back, she didn’t want to let Xia Jingru cause trouble. She wanted to make Xia Jingru stay in Macao at ease, so she confiscated Xia Jingru’s ID card to stop her from buying the tickets.”
“What else?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“That’s all I know. In a word, it’s absolutely no good for her to come back. Brother, you need to pay attention to it. Don’t let Xia Jingru spoil you and sister-in-law’s wedding. And if Xia Jingru hurts Taotao, it’ll be more serious,” Ling Tianxue said.
“Yes, we must pay attention to prevention. Taotao must be kept safe.” As soon as He Meishu heard that Taotao might be hurt, she became alert immediately.
Ling Tianyi thought for a while, “No wonder Yao Sheng investigated that Xia Jingru was still in Macao, and there were no airline ticket purchasing records about her. It proved that Zhu Yufen disagreed.”
“We should take it seriously. You and Xiaoluo are going to get married now. We will make the proposal tomorrow, so everything had to be exactly right,” Ling Desheng said.
“Dad, Xia Jingru may not want to destroy my wedding.” Ling Tianyi said, and then he told them about the things of Luo Xixi and Fang Ruichen, “Xia Jingru loved Fang Ruichen. Maybe she wanted to destroy their wedding on October 10th.”
“Luo Xixi is sister Xiaoxiao’s family member whom Taotao liked?” He Meishu was still alert, “So if Luo Xixi gets married, you and Xiaoluo will take Taotao to attend the wedding?”
“Yes, Taotao is not only going to attend the wedding but also he will be the flower boy.” Ling Tianyi shrugged his shoulders. He thought that it was a little dangerous.
“My God! No, it’s too dangerous. Taotao can’t go there, neither can you or Xiaoluo.” He Meishu said.
“Mom! Luo Xixi is Xiaoluo’s roommate in the college. I have business with the Luo’s Group as well. Taotao likes Xiaoxiao very much, and she is his only friend in A City. So we must attend the wedding with everything taken into account,” Ling Tianyi said.
“But, I’m anxious!” He Meishu frowned.
“It’s nothing! Xiaoluo and I have already told Ouyang Ziqian and Fang Ruichen about it, they knew the seriousness of this matter. The Ling family, the Ouyang family, the Fang family, and the Luo family can certainly prevent Xia Jingru together,” Ling Tianyi said it calmly, but he was still worried about it.
“Then what are you going to do?” He Meishu asked. It related to the safety of her son and grandson, especially her grandson, so she was very concerned.
“Mom, don’t worry, I won’t let Xia Jingru come back to A City.” Ling Tianyi said, “Besides, I just called to meet Xia Youfeng, even if Xia Jingru was lucky enough to come back, Xia Youfeng could also help us.”
“You must do everything you can in order to prevent the danger from happening. If Taotao suffers any harm, I’ll punish you.” He Meishu didn’t want to listen to it anymore, she went back to clean up Taotao’s room and the toy room.
“Dad, I’ll see Xia Youfeng first.” Ling Tianyi said.
Ling Desheng nodded, “Put pressure on him first and then give him the hope. Let him control his daughter well. If it still doesn’t work, I’ll arrange the people in the underworld to kill Xia Jingru, to avoid the troubles.”
“Dad, you should help me to prepare for the marriage proposal at home. It’s almost ready, but you should go to the Ouyang family in person tomorrow, and you can think about what to say in advance. As for Xia Jingru, don’t worry. I can deal with her by myself.” Ling Tianyi said.
“Why don’t you understand? It’s risky to kill that woman. Although the probability of success is high, what if we get involved? I’m old, but you’re young. So I will arrange the people in the underworld in person, you only need to pretend that you know nothing about it.” Ling Desheng said.
“Dad, we can protect ourselves and our family without doing this.” Ling Tianyi was moved in his heart, but he would never let his father take risks.
“Well, don’t worry about the marriage proposal. Your father is also a man who has seen the world. I won’t make you disappointed. Got to do your own business!” Ling Desheng waved his hand.
Ling Tianyi went out, and then Ling Tianxue said to Ling Desheng, “Dad, I forgot to tell you that I agreed Chu Wei’s marriage proposal to me. Next week he will go back to A City, and we will register for marriage. At that time, Chu Wei will come here to propose the marriage, and you should be kind to him. Don’t scare him away.”
“What?” Ling Desheng was shocked.
“Dad! What’s your attitude? Don’t you like Chu Wei? When I called back before, mommy said that as long as Chu Wei was willing to marry me, you will agree!” Ling Tianxue asked, pouting her lips.
“No, I agree. I’m just surprised! No, to be exact, I’m happy!” Ling Desheng was excited. “We are looking forward to your marriage! You are old enough to get married. It’s a good thing, a good thing!”
“When Chu Wei came to propose the marriage, you…” Ling Tianxue smiled and waited for Ling Desheng to reply.
“I will treat him well, and never let him repent, or you won’t get married.” Ling Desheng joked. It wasn’t his style of speaking, but now his son and daughter were going to get married, he was so happy that he couldn’t speak properly.
“Dad! Why are you talking about your daughter like this?” Ling Tianxue pretended to be unhappy, but she was relieved when she figured out Ling Desheng’s attitude.
“Tell your mother about it to make her happy quickly. After helping your brother to make the proposal tomorrow, we will arrange your marriage.” Ling Desheng was very happy. “The Ling family is finally reunited after suffering so much these years. And you and your brother are going to get married now. All these are happy things and good things!”
“Dad, are you really happy?” Ling Tianxue asked and approached Ling Desheng.
“Of course, today is the happiest day of the years!” Ling Desheng said with a smile.
“Um! It’s good to be happy.” Ling Tianxue was very happy as well, “Then I go to tell my mother and make her happy together with us.”
Ling Tianxue came back after two steps, and then she said to Ling Desheng, “However, someone is unhappy today. It was a big event for Xia Youfeng to be summoned by my brother.”
“It’s not just about Xia Jingru!” Ling Desheng sighed, “The Ouyang family will not let Xia Youfeng go, he is in great trouble.”
Ling Tianyi told Ling Desheng about the Ouyang family’s trip to F County. Ling Desheng was so smart that he knew how things would develop naturally. If it wasn’t for the sake of Xia Xiaoluo, he thought that Xia Youfeng would have been killed by the Ouyang family.
