Ling Lie, Ling Xiao and Cui Lao gave each other a look after the announcement of Ling Hao's visit. Cui Lao returned to where he was standing previously in a swoosh and his face turned expressionless.
Ling Xiao's handsome face twitched slightly as he tightened the corners of his mouth. He excused himself to a corner.
Ling Lie nodded at the servant and bellowed, "Let him in!"
Ling Hao was the eldest son of Ling Zhen, the current Patriarch of the Ling Family. Ling Lie had delegated the immensely important search to Ling Hao because Ling Lie had intentions of grooming Ling Hao.
Nonetheless, Ling Lie was gradually losing patience. Ling Hao had constantly brought the wrong "Ling Yun" home over the past two weeks.
The power of the Ling Family had been on the decline over the past eighteen years. Their position had deteriorated to the weakest of the seven big families in Beijing. The Ling Family was facing the removal of their titles soon.
