“Ling Yun, visit your uncle’s house when you have time. If you don’t, Aunt Shang will blame me again…” Tang Tianhao stood up and said cheerfully when he saw that Ling Yun was about to leave.
The Aunt Shang that Tang Tianhao mentioned was his wife, which was also Tang Meng’s mother, Shang Wenhui. Ling Yun met her once at Qingxi District’s General Hospital.
“Uncle Tang, don’t worry. After I’ve settled some matters, I’ll visit your house.” Ling Yun smiled apologetically as he nodded towards Tang Tianhao. He had far too many matters to deal with. Tang Meng had invited him multiple times already, but he didn’t manage to make a trip there yet.
Xue Meining’s beautiful eyes flickered as she pretended to be jealous. “Uncle Tang is biased, he only wants to invite Big Brother Ling Yun. He acts like I’m not here…”
Tang Tianhao chuckled. “Ning Er, don’t tease your Uncle Tang anymore. I’m worried that I’ll hinder your studies like this. If your grandfather finds out, I won’t be able to explain it to him!”
In fact, before Tang Meng and Ling Yun mended their relations.h.i.+p, Xue Meining didn’t even spare a sliver of attention to Tang Meng. Tang Tianhao was a policeman, while Miracle Doctor Xue was a doctor. Both of their families were reputable and wealthy, but they never had much contact in reality.
Now, Ling Yun and Tang Meng were sworn brothers. Their relations.h.i.+p was one where they’d willingly offer their lives for one another. Obviously, there was no way Xue Meining could treat Tang Meng like he was invisible. With Ling Yun’s relations.h.i.+p and history with him, they grew closer as the days pa.s.sed.
Tang Tianhao turned to look at Miao Xiaomiao as he asked cordially, “Ning Er, you haven’t introduced me yet. This is?”
Xue Meining chuckled. “Uncle Tang, this is my older sister, Miao Xiaomiao.”
Miao Xiaomiao smiled charmingly and greeted Tang Tianhao politely.
She truly was Miracle Doctor Xue’s granddaughter. He smiled immediately and said, “Xiaomiao, come visit me together with Ning Er next time. It’ll be fun when everyone gets together.”
“Thank you, Uncle Tang. I will definitely visit you too.” Miao Xiaomiao smiled beautifully, like a blooming flower.
Ling Yun came to Tang Tianhao’s side and said, “Uncle Tang, Ning Er still has to attend cla.s.s in the afternoon. I have to send her off now.”
Tang Tianhao nodded. “Alright, go ahead. Don’t be late for cla.s.s.” He paused for a while before he continued, “Uncle has work today, so I won’t send you off.”
Ling Yun knew that the matters here still required Tang Tianhao’s attention. Thus, he smiled as he took the two stunning school beauties out of the restaurant. Walking through the shocked crowd, he left confidently.
“Oh G.o.d… it’s actually Ling… Ling Yun…”
When Tang Tianhao talked to Ling Yun, his voice wasn’t very loud. However, Liu Jinlai and the rest could still hear him clearly.
When Liu Jinlai found out that this young man was Ling Yun, he understood everything instantly. He understood why he felt very familiar and had a distinct fear of him.
Ling Yun was the person who caused Luo Zhong to lose his status and thoroughly ruined his life. This was the man who created a huge earthquake in the middle of Qingshui City; the aftershocks were still running through the city.
Thinking about how Luo Zhong met his terrible end at Linjiang Garden, Liu Jinlai suddenly felt very lucky. Today, he escaped his fate of a terrible end. At the same time, he felt extreme grat.i.tude toward Tang Tianhao and complete hatred for Zhang Dengke.
Liu Jinlai lifted his hands once more as he wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He went to Tang Tianhao carefully and said in a low voice, “Director Tang, I have offended Ling… Ling Yun by mistake today. I would like to find an opportunity to invite him for a meal, you see…”
Tang Tianhao stared grimly at Liu Jinlai for a long time. Suddenly, he broke out into a smile as he unexpectedly said, “Dream on!”
“Not to mention a meal, we still have to deal with everything else here and appease the crowd. We’ll talk after we return to our office!”
Tang Tianhao didn’t send Ling Yun off because he still had to tie up loose ends. He didn’t want the matter today to spread.
…
“I enjoyed a free meal today again. But it was delicious!”
At this time, Ling Yun and the others were already outside Qingshui Restaurant. Once they stepped out of the door, Xue Meining spoke cheerfully.
Ling Yun smiled as he rubbed the little temptress’ tall nose. He laughed. “I’ll drive the car over now.”
Ling Yun drove the Land Rover out as he called for Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao to get in. Then, he started up the car to leave.
“Wait… wait…” As a high-pitched shout rang out, the sound of hurried footsteps trailed from Qingshui Restaurant.
That beautiful and s.e.xy waitress rushed out from the restaurant holding a black plastic bag.
The beautiful waitress ran over to Ling Yun’s car quickly and stood on the driver’s side. Her breathing was heavy as her beautiful b.r.e.a.s.t.s bounced up and down. She said in a rush, “Mr. Ling… Ling Yun, thank you for your tip. However, this is far too much. I can’t take this.”
As she said this, she lifted the black plastic bag in her hand. Extending her tender arm, she was about to place it into Ling Yun’s car.
Ling Yun smiled as he waved his hand and laughed. “This is something you deserve. Keep it for yourself!”
The beautiful waitress continued to push it to him while Ling Yun refused to take it back. She thought about it for a while and could only speak hesitantly. “My name is Zhang Xin. May I ask for your phone number?”
Zhang Xin asked this fearfully, and her beautiful face felt a little hot.
A beautiful girl had asked Ling Yun for a favor. She took the initiative to ask him for his phone number. Obviously, the meaning behind that was clear.
Ling Yun paused for a while as he contemplated whether to tell her his phone number. However, Xue Meining responded coldly, “He doesn’t have one. Big Brother Ling Yun, I’m going to be late for cla.s.s. Are we leaving yet?”
Xue Meining stared at the two of them pus.h.i.+ng fifty thousand yuan back and forth for a long time. In the first place, she wasn’t feeling great about it. Now that Zhang Xin had boldly come forward to ask Ling Yun for his number, how could she stand it?
The very fact that she was able to tolerate it until this moment was amazing!
The little temptress’ jealousy was unleashed in full view. Ling Yun could only laugh bitterly as he waved his hands at Zhang Xin outside the car. Stepping on the gas, the Land Rover sped away.
“Eh…” Zhang Xin had boldly asked Ling Yun for his phone number but was harshly rejected by Xue Meining. Watching Ling Yun leave, she could only stand there and let out a long sigh.
For such a strong and amazing man, what did fifty thousand yuan even mean?
…
“Hmph, after she got fifty thousand yuan, did she think it wasn’t enough? She even wanted Big Brother Ling Yun’s phone number. How infuriating!”
In the car, Xue Meining continued to rant with jealousy even though the Land Rover had already left Qingshui Lake’s tourist-spot.
Miao Xiaomiao giggled delicately. Obviously, Ling Yun wouldn’t say anything. He drove his car steadily, pretending he didn’t hear a word.
“Move out, I want to move out!” After thinking for a long time, Xue Meining decided that it was best that she moved out quickly to stay with Ling Yun. She would feel at ease only if she did that.
Big Brother Ling Yun’s affinity with women was increasing day by day. That left Xue Meining’s heart in a panic.
“Big Brother Ling Yun, I don’t want to go to cla.s.s in the afternoon. I want to go home to pack my stuff…” Xue Meining sat in the pa.s.senger’s seat. Lifting her hand all of a sudden, she grabbed onto Ling Yun’s right arm as she begged.
“Ahem… Ning Er, moving isn’t a big deal. But you can’t miss cla.s.s. You still have to go to lessons…” Ling Yun let out a dry cough as he told this to Xue Meining responsibly.
“Then, what about you?” Xue Meining chastised Ling Yun. It was as if she were waiting for him to say that.
Miao Xiaomiao giggled again. Ling Yun’s beautiful face turned red. After a long time, he finally said, “Who said that I don’t attend cla.s.s? I’ll go next week!”
There wasn’t much more than two weeks before their college examinations. Ling Yun really had to return to school to prepare for that. That was because China’s college examinations were part of their compulsory education. Even if one had memorized the entire textbook, they might not be able to score the highest mark. There was no strong connection between the two.
Ling Yun promised Qin Qiuyue and even bet one hundred million that he would get into Yanjing University with his scores. He would go to the city to study with that.
“You promised! Tonight, I’ll move into Mansion Number One. Next week, I’ll monitor you with older sis!”
After hoping for the longest time, Xue Meining finally got the chance to go to school together with Ling Yun. She could walk out of cla.s.s together with him. Even though there were only two weeks for that, she was impossibly happy.
Miao Xiaomiao smiled as she rejected the idea, saying, “I’m not going to monitor him. If he can sit in cla.s.s for an entire day without doing anything, a ghost must have taken over his body.”
Ling Yun wasn’t bothered by that. He said this matter-of-factly to Xue Meining, “Tonight, move your stuff over. I won’t stay in Mansion Number One tonight.”
Ling Yun was going to make Mansion Number One a trap for the j.a.panese ninjas. If things didn’t turn out well, it would turn into a bloodbath. He didn’t want Ning Er to be traumatized over that.
“Then, where are you going to stay?” Xue Meining’s face was filled with anxiety as she asked this worriedly.
Ling Yun laughed casually. “I just came back from sea. My aunt wants me to stay home tonight.”
At home, Qin Dongxue had just learned the Ninth Killing Technique. Ning Lingyu was memorizing the Omnipotent Water Control Technique. All those needed Ling Yun’s guidance. Furthermore, the enemies had their eye on Mansion Number One now. Ling Yun couldn’t ensure that Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine wouldn’t be in trouble. So, he had to return home to protect it.
Hearing that Ling Yun was going to stay at home, Xue Meining’s vigilant heart was finally at ease as she shook her head exasperatedly.
“Big Brother Ling Yun, when will your clinic be opened?” Xue Meining finally changed the topic as she asked him about the clinic.
Ling Yun laughed. “Maybe this week. Either the 20th or 21st of May. Which day is better?”
Xue Meining’s beautiful face turned red as she celebrated internally. Originally, she was feeling irritated by Zhang Xin’s flirting. However, all of that suddenly dispersed as her face brightened up charmingly.
She remembered herself from the past as well as Ling Yun’s phone number. His number was 20999999 while hers was 21999999. This had a special meaning for her.
“Opening on a Sat.u.r.day is good!” Xue Meining couldn’t help but exclaim. Sat.u.r.day was the 20th of May, which was synonymous to “I love Ning” on the Chinese calendar. Obviously, she would pick that date. Back then, the number 20999999 that she had given him had the same meaning.
Ling Yun stared deeply at Xue Meining for a while, and she blushed deeply. She felt like deers were galloping on her heart, so she finally turned away.
“We’ll listen to Ning Er. I’ll open the clinic on Sat.u.r.day, then.”
The Land Rover turned by another corner before they arrived on the road to school. Qingshui High was within view.
“That’s great, I’m going to ask grandfather to attend and cut the opening ceremony ribbon on that day!”
Xue Meining was so happy that she was about to jump out of the car.
Ling Yun frowned lightly. “You don’t have to make it such a big deal. Let’s keep it small.”
Qin Qiuyue had given the clinic the name Ordinary People’s Clinic. Ling Yun understood her intentions. She wanted to operate the business without attracting much attention.
