Chapter 15: Third Brother's First Love
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next morning, before dawn, Ling Mo was already jogging along the riverside, which was only a few hundred meters away from the Ling residence.
After duelling with Qin Beiming last night, she felt a little uncomfortable.
In the past, she was the only one who hit others. If others were to find out that she was so weak now that she couldn't even defeat a man with a perky butt, how embarrassing would that be?
In order to avoid getting into the same predicament as last night, she had to spend more time training her physical strength.
Outside the green area, a limited-edition Phantom was speeding past in the cool breeze.
In the car, other than Qin Beiming, who was in the driver's seat, and Huo Yunting, who was sleeping with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, the three people in the backseat were huddled together, with their hands and legs intertwined.
It was not a brotherly relationship, but a gay one at most.
"Brother, look! There's a slender-legged red-crowned crane flying by the river."
Gu Tingbai could not hold his liquor. Everything he looked at was blurry, and he thought the girl he saw was a red-crowned crane.
Gu Nanfeng, who was also hungover, shook his head and put on the same shocked face as Gu Tingbai. "The red-crowned crane's legs are so fair."
Lu Jinjiu, who was lying on Gu Nanfeng's chest, also stretched his neck and waved at Ling Mo with great interest. His clear voice turned into a deep, smoky voice due to the alcohol, "Hey! That crane, you're going too fast!"
Qin Beiming: "..."
He really could not understand what was going on with this group of crazy people.
He was just a little curious about that rebellious young lady from the Ling family. Why were the three people in the backseat so excited? Drinking wine like water? Did they really think that they wouldn't get drunk after drinking a thousand cups?
Ling Mo stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at the car full of drunkards outside the area.
They were a little far away, so she didn't get a clear look at the people in the car. All she could hear was the mad chatter of the drunkard.
Qin Beiming, on the other hand, recognized Ling Mo with just a casual glance.
"Yunting, I have something urgent to attend to. Send them back."
He braked immediately and took off his suit which reeked of alcohol and tobacco. Qin Beiming leaped across the greenery and ran in Ling Mo's direction.
Ling Mo rubbed her eyes. It took her a few seconds to see who was running towards her.
She subconsciously wanted to turn around and run.
After all, she was not his opponent yet.
However, before she could turn around, Qin Beiming had already blocked her way. "What a coincidence!"
"What do you want?"
Ling Mo's voice was filled with wariness. There was a hint of sharpness hidden in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, which made people feel tingly.
Qin Beiming pondered for a moment and suddenly did not know how to answer.
Before this, he had never taken the initiative to talk to any woman other than his mother. Therefore, even though he still looked arrogant and noble on the surface, he was already panicking in his heart.
Ling Mo saw that his hands were in his pockets and he definitely did not look like he wanted to fight her. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"Okay."
Qin Beiming's sexy thin lips pursed into a line as he watched with a cold expression at Ling Mo's back as she ran back.
This girl, why was she running so fast?
Could it be that she's shy...
Thinking of this, Qin Beiming's heart swayed along with Ling Mo's slender waist.
He was inexplicably excited and happy!
Tsk, he didn't know where to place his emotions!
After Ling Mo ran far away, Qin Beiming completely gave up on managing his expression. He smiled with a flirtatious look on his face.
In the back seat of the car, three pairs of intoxicated eyes simultaneously looked at the smug Qin Beiming. The three of them, who had only been quiet for a short while, began to chatter again.
"Third brother is smiling! It seems that he is not constipated today!"
"Say, did third brother go missing just now?"
"He obviously went to pick up a crane. I don't know if he likes a male crane or a female crane."
Huo Yunting shook his head helplessly and said lightly, "Third brother is just beginning to fall in love. He is thin-skinned. Don't scare him."
Qin Beiming noticed the four gossipy faces and his lips returned to normal in an instant.
He opened the car door elegantly and did not mention anything about what had just happened.
...
Ling Mo ran into the Ling residence, panting. Before she could catch her breath, Ling Yunlong, who was sitting at the dining table, threw the newspaper in his hand onto the ground.
Nanny Tian, who was standing beside him, quickly squatted down to pick up the crumpled newspaper on the ground. She was so scared that she did not even dare to breathe.
Ling Tian, who was sitting opposite Ling Yunlong, was drinking the milk in her glass seriously. She was extremely silent.
When Ling Mo saw this, she subconsciously took out her phone from her pocket and opened Weibo.
As expected, Su Yu successfully made the top trending news on Weibo.
Not only that, she even managed to monopolize three trending topics. She could be said to be at the peak of her popularity.
[ Explosive News! Su Yu Is Suspected Of Abusing Her Stepdaughter ]
[ Movie Queen Su Yu's History As A Mistress Has Been Exposed! ]
[ Soul-stirring Night At Dihuang Hotel! Best Actress Su Yu Is Spreading Rumors That Her Stepdaughter Is Having An Affair With The Kidnappers! ]
Ling Mo glanced at the comments on the trending topics and realized that the manager that Su Yu hired was also criticized by the majority of the netizens because of his negative image. Only then did she slowly put her phone back into her pocket and sat down next to Ling Tian with a calm expression.
When Nanny Tian saw this, she quickly brought Ling Mo breakfast that had been kept warm.
"Thank you."
Ling Mo thanked her gently and turned around to ask Ling Yunlong with a puzzled expression, "Dad, is aunty still not up? Didn't she say that she would personally send me and Xiao Tian to school last night?"
"Your aunty isn't feeling well. Let's do it another day."
Ling Yunlong's expression was unfriendly and his voice was filled with anger.
From his point of view, the reason why Su Yu was in the eye of the storm was purely due to Ling Mo, this jinx.
"Aunty hasn't eaten breakfast yet, right? I'll send it over to her."
Ling Mo smiled faintly and in the blink of an eye, she carried the leftover breakfast she had eaten, wearing the disposable slippers that didn't fit her and went upstairs.
She wanted to see if Su Yu could still smile at this moment.
She had spent a million dollars on public relations, but nothing had been resolved. Anyone would be furious.
Just the thought of Su Yu's disheveled appearance made the smile on Ling Mo's lips deepen.
She pushed open the door to the master bedroom and quickly walked to Su Yu's bedside. She asked with concern, "Aunty, are you alright?"
"What are you doing here? Get out."
Su Yu raised her eyes and glared at Ling Mo, who was smiling like a flower. She could not help but feel angry.
Despite her superb acting skills, she finally tore off her hypocritical mask under extreme anger and shouted at Ling Mo.
Ling Mo placed the breakfast on the bedside table steadily and met Su Yu's ruthless gaze without fear. "Remember to eat breakfast. The body is the capital of the revolution."
"Were you the one who instigated the storm of public opinion on the Internet?"
Su Yu's eyes were bloodshot. The moment she thought about how her taboo history was once again exposed, the hatred in her heart grew.
Ling Mo did not reply. She only whispered into her ear, "I heard that aunty spent a million in fees for public relations. Does dad know about this?"
