Chapter 83: Who is Rare
Chapter 83
Ling Tianzheng and Ling Yue's faces both turned cold when they saw Lan Ji.
Ling Tianzheng quickly walked up to Lan Ji. "Hello Mr. Lan Ji! I am Ling Tianzheng, and I've come to ask you to be lenient and spare our Ling family this time."
Lan Ji let out a cold snort. "Give me one reason why."
"I know you are doing this for Yue Yue's sake. I promise that if you spare the Ling family, I will make a public statement telling everyone that Yue Yue is still the young mistress of the Ling family." Ling Tianzheng knew what mattered most to Ling Yue. Besides, her appearance has already been restored, and even if Zhou Mucheng is unwilling to marry her, there are many young masters from prestigious families who would be willing to marry her, which would only benefit the Ling family.
Ling Yue let out a mocking laugh. "Who cares."
A flash of displeasure crossed Ling Tianzheng's eyes, but thinking of the purpose of his visit, he forced a flattering smile. "Yue Yue, Dad knows you are speaking out of anger. It was Dad's fault in the past, but from now on Dad will pay more attention to you."
"Dad? You don't even deserve to call yourself that." Ling Yue said contemptuously.
A surge of anger rose in Ling Tianzheng's heart as he clenched his fists. "Yue Yue, Dad really knows he was wrong, and Dad will make it up to you in the future." This dead girl actually dared to speak to him in such a manner, becoming more and more bold. Once she returns to the Ling family, he will definitely have someone properly teach her some manners.
"No need, you can leave now, don't disturb our meal." Ling Yue took the cola from Granny Xu's hand. She was not the original owner, and she found this scumbag of a father utterly repulsive.
"I am your father, how can you speak to me in this manner?" Ling Tianzheng could no longer hold back his anger, glaring furiously at Ling Yue.
Lan Ji stood up, walked in front of Ling Tianzheng, grabbed his collar, and dragged him out to the courtyard gate, throwing him out.
Ling Tianzheng fell to the ground, wincing in pain, but as soon as he saw the gate close, ignoring the pain, he quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the gate. "Mr. Lan Ji, please open the door, I'll agree to any condition you have as long as you spare the Ling family."
"Oh?" Lan Ji raised an eyebrow playfully.
Ling Tianzheng nodded vigorously. "Whatever conditions you have, I'll agree to them."
"Then have your wife, along with your two children, kneel here and apologize to Yue Yue. As long as Yue Yue forgives them, I'll spare the Ling family."
"Really?" A look of delight crossed Ling Tianzheng's face.
Lan Ji nodded. "I always keep my word."
Ling Tianzheng, having gotten the confirmation, quickly turned and left to call Xiner and the children over to apologize to Ling Yue.
Yang Xiner was sitting in the living room sofa, peeling an apple for Ling Meng. "Meng Meng, I received a call from the doctor this morning, he said you only need two more surgeries to look as beautiful as before."
Ling Meng didn't even spare a glance at Yang Xiner, continuing to stare at the TV drama. Even if she recovered, she would never forgive Yang Xiner. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have suffered so much, and now she didn't even dare look at her own face.
Yang Xiner's heart was filled with bitterness. "Meng Meng, Mom knows it was all Mom's fault. Once you recover, Mom will go to the Zhou family and speak to Zhou Mucheng's parents about your marriage."
"You mean it?" Ling Meng's eyes suddenly lit up. She had always liked Zhou Mucheng, and in her previous life, they had missed their chance. This lifetime, she was determined to become his wife, to become the young mistress of the Zhou family. Otherwise, what would be the point of her rebirth?
"I mean it." Yang Xiner smiled and handed the peeled apple to Ling Meng.
Ling Meng took the apple and took a bite, her mind filled with the image of herself and Zhou Mucheng together. The wife of Brother Mucheng can only be her. As for Ling Yue, she can deal with her slowly after she marries Brother Mucheng.
Hearing footsteps, Yang Xiner turned to look, seeing it was Ling Tianzheng. She stood up and walked towards him. "Tianzheng, you're back." She knew about the recent events in the Ling family, but she didn't know who was targeting the Ling family.
"Call Xiao Bao back, I have something for you all to do." Ling Tianzheng had no time to talk to Yang Xiner about other things, he just wanted to bring them to apologize to Ling Yue.
"What is it?" Yang Xiner walked to the coffee table, picked up the phone, and prepared to call her son.
"The person targeting our Ling family is called Lan Ji. I just went to see him, and he said that as long as you all go apologize to Ling Yue, he'll spare the Ling family." Ling Tianzheng didn't hide anything, since they would find out soon anyway.
"I won't go apologize." Ling Meng angrily stood up from the sofa. How could the young mistress of the Ling family go apologize to that vile woman Ling Yue?
"You have to go!" Ling Tianzheng's face darkened. "This is about the future of the Ling family."
"I won't go!" Ling Meng turned her head angrily.
Yang Xiner's heart was also unwilling to go apologize to Ling Yue, but seeing Ling Tianzheng's increasingly gloomy expression, she comfortingly patted his shoulder. "Tianzheng, is there no other way?"
Ling Tianzheng sighed and shook his head. "That girl and Lan Ji seem to have a very good relationship. This time, Lan Ji is clearly standing up for her. Call Xiao Bao and tell him to come back quickly."
Yang Xiner nodded and called her son, telling him to come back as soon as possible. Although she was also unwilling, if the Ling family was gone, what would become of her? She had gotten used to this life of luxury and privilege over the years.
Ling Meng was so angry that she almost bit down on the silver spoon, "I won't go." If she went, how would she maintain her status in the circle in the future? What would those people think of her? What would Brother Mucheng think of her?
Ling Tianzheng's face darkened as he walked up to Ling Meng. "If you don't go, then get out of the Ling family."
Ling Meng thought Ling Tianzheng had agreed to her not going, and was about to be happy, but Ling Tianzheng's next words plunged her into the depths of despair. She stared at him with disbelieving eyes, tears welling up but not falling. "Dad..." He actually wanted to kick her out of the Ling family for the sake of that vile woman Ling Yue?
"Answer me, go or not go?" Ling Tianzheng had no time to coax Ling Meng now.
Ling Meng bit her lip hard, the tears silently sliding down her face, but her gaze was defiant.
Ling Tianzheng's heart ached, after all she was the daughter he had doted on since childhood. Seeing her like this pained him, but he really had no other choice now. "Meng Meng, just sacrifice this one time for the sake of the Ling family."
"Meng Meng, listen to your dad. He's doing this for the Ling family, for us. If we don't have the Ling family, how will you marry Mucheng in the future." Yang Xiner persuaded.
Hearing Yang Xiner's words, Ling Meng's resentment dissipated. Mom was right, only with the Ling family can she be the young mistress, only then can she marry Brother Mucheng.
Ling Meng nodded, "I'll go." After the Ling family gets through this difficulty, she will definitely make Ling Yue suffer terribly.
