"Brother Cao, my third brother, Ling Xiao, is at home now. Why don't we come in to talk?"
Ling Yue suggested to Cao Xingchang with a smile when he saw Ling Lie and Cao Junxiong enter the Ling Family.
The Cao Family was here today to propose for Cao Shanshan. Hence, Ling Xiao and Cao Xingchang were the main characters, not Ling Yue.
Cao Xingchang laughed heartily. "That's how it should be."
At this moment, Cui Lao walked over and reported to Ling Yue, "Second Master, Master said to drive these cars directly into the courtyard."
Ling Yue immediately understood Ling Yun's intention and nodded with a smile.
Cao Xingchang turned to Cao Tianlong and said, "Tianlong, I'll leave this place to you. Take care of these cars and drive them into the courtyard."
Cao Tianlong nodded and smiled. "Rest assured, Father."
Thus, Ling Yue brought Cao Xingchang and Lu Qiongfang into the Ling Family's ancestral home.
At the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home, only Cui Lao, Cao Tianlong, and the Cao Family's cars and drivers were left.
With Cui Lao's help, Cao Tianlong began to instruct the drivers to drive the three loaded cars into the Ling Family's ancestral home.
Chen Jingxuan, Sun Zhenwu, and the others stood at the entrance of the Ling Family's house and watched silently. They didn't say a word, but they each had their own thoughts.
Even Long Haoqiang, whose legs were broken by Ling Yun, didn't leave immediately. After some simple treatment, he endured the pain and observed everything in front of him.
The Ling Family had changed, it had really changed! And it was an earth-shattering change!
Once upon a time, as long as someone from the Long Family came to the Ling Family, no matter who it was, the Ling Family would welcome them with open arms and be respectful to the Long Family.
Even last night, when Long Haoqiang came to deliver the letter, it was the same.
But today? Long Haoqiang had just arrived at the entrance of the Ling Family's house. He hadn't even spoken for two minutes when Ling Yun rushed out and slapped him twice and broke both his legs!
This was in broad daylight, at the main entrance of the Ling Family, and in front of the most important figures of the Sun and Chen Family!
Just now, Long Haoqiang was lying on the ground with a broken leg. However, the two core members of the Ling Family, Ling Yue and Ling Lie, actually rushed out from the Ling Family one after the other. They didn't even say a word and didn't even bother to greet Long Haoqiang.
None of them had anything to say about Ling Yun's actions!
The Ling Family had obviously tacitly agreed to all of this!
The Ling Family actually dared to allow all of this?!
Where did the Ling Family get the guts to be so rude to the Long Family? Where did his confidence come from?! Was it because the Ling Family had Ling Yun?!
"Mister Long, that junior Ling Yun is so rude and overbearing, and his actions are so extreme. You should have a deep understanding by now. I wonder if your Long family is still willing to mediate for our life and death battle?"
Chen Jingxuan suddenly spoke indifferently, yet his words carried a trace of hidden ridicule. He was trying his best to sow discord, and this was an extremely rare opportunity.
"Hmph!"
Long Haoqiang snorted coldly, but he didn't answer directly. He intentionally avoided this topic.
Frankly speaking, Long Haoqiang was only a cousin of Long Haoran. His position in the Long Family wasn't considered high, and he had no say in such a major decision.
Yesterday, he came to deliver the letter, and today, he came to ask for the result. The reason why he was so overbearing was because he was a member of the Long Family, and he only borrowed the Long Family's power. Until he was beaten up, he still maintained his habitual thinking and attitude towards the Ling Family.
However, now that he was beaten up by Ling Yun, Long Haoqiang had no idea whether the Long Family would stand up for him.
Not to mention whether the Long Family would directly fall out with the Ling Family because of him.
Moreover, now that the Cao Family and the Ling Family had formed an alliance through marriage, even though the Cao Family's position in the ancient martial arts world wasn't much, in terms of power in the secular world, even the Long Family and the Ye Family couldn't underestimate them.
The impact of the marriage between the Cao Family and the Ling Family on the secular world was too great!
That was because the current Ling Family was no longer the weakling they used to be, and they were no longer a soft persimmon that anyone could pinch.
Otherwise, why would Ling Yun beat up Long Haoqiang without any explanation? He even dared to say that if Long Haoran dared to treat the Ling Family like before, Ling Yun would beat him up too?!
How much confidence and strength did he need to be able to say something like that?
In any case, it was definitely not just out of arrogance.
Indeed, Long Haoqiang's thoughts were immediately verified. His communication device rang, and he received a message.
Long Haoqiang hurriedly took out his communication device and saw only two words on it.
"Come back."
The corner of Long Haoqiang's mouth twitched, and he immediately withered like a frosted eggplant.
That was because he vaguely had a bad premonition that he might really have suffered the beating today for nothing. It would be difficult for him to regain his face in a short period of time.
Long Haoqiang gripped the letter that Ling Yun threw to him tightly. He lifted his head silently and stared at the two words "Ling Residence" on the main door of the Ling Family's ancestral home. He then said to the two spies from the Long Family, "Both of you, help me back."
He was even treated as a VIP when he came to the main door yesterday, and he could strut around arrogantly. However, not only did he not enter the door today, but he even had both of his legs broken at the entrance!
It was only after one night!
The two spies immediately helped Long Haoqiang up, got him back into the car, and drove off quickly.
"Hmph! The Long Family is just so-so! "
Chen Jingxuan realized that he had indeed been snubbed. He couldn't help but turn pale as he watched Long Haoqiang's car disappear into the distance.
"Elder Chen, what should we do now?" Sun Zhenwu asked softly.
Now, the three carriages of the Cao Family had already entered the main door of the Ling Family. Cui Lao and Cao Tianlong had also entered the Ling Family. At the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home, only the four people from the Sun and Chen Families were left. They had been given the cold shoulder, and it could be said that it was as awkward as it could be.
"Hmph!"
Chen Jingxuan snorted coldly again. He clenched the map in his hand into a ball and said angrily, "What else can we do? We'll fight to the death in three days! "
"Peng Er, let's go!"
Ling One crossed his arms in front of his chest and stood at the entrance of the Ling Family's ancestral home in a carefree manner. He smiled as he watched the Sun and Chen Family leave. Suddenly, he turned his head and asked, "Ling Seven, did you enjoy yourself today?"
Ling Qi laughed. "Boss, do you still need to ask? Today was really too fun. Our Ling Family has never been so proud before! "
Ling Yi laughed. "Look at how happy you are. How far have we gotten? The best is yet to come! "
"Let's go. The show has ended, and our mission has been completed. Let's go back and report to Cui Lao!"
…
At this moment, the Ling Family could be said to be extremely lively!
Ling Lie invited Cao Junxiong to his own courtyard in the backyard. The two of them were having a private conversation. Of course, it was a secret discussion.
For the time being, Ling Yue invited Cao Xingchang and Lu Qiongfang to his courtyard. As a host, he invited them to have some tea and chat. Of course, the main topic of their conversation was about the marriage.
Dong Shanchuan had already arrived at the fourth courtyard of the Ling Family, which was also Ling Xiao's courtyard. He was sitting there drinking tea slowly.
Facing the silent Ling Xiao and his daughter, Dong Ruolan, who was running around happily, Dong Shanchuan wanted to speak a few times. However, he swallowed his words every time. He didn't know where to start.
This was because when Dong Ruolan wanted to marry Ling Xiao, Dong Shanchuan had strongly opposed it out of consideration for his daughter's lifelong happiness. If it wasn't for Dong Ruolan's pleas and threats of death, the marriage between Ling Xiao and Dong Ruolan wouldn't have happened.
In the past eighteen years, other than the day his daughter got married and the day Ling Xue was born, Dong Shanchuan had never visited the Ling Family again.
Today was the third time he had visited the Ling Family.
This was because Ling Xiao loved another woman. It was the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, Yin Qingxuan!
Every father who loved his daughter and was responsible for his daughter wouldn't agree to her marrying a man who didn't love her at all. This was human nature.
However, his daughter had set her sights on Ling Xiao. Even though she knew that Ling Xiao didn't love her, she was still willing to marry him. As a father, what else could Dong Shanchuan do other than accept it?
In Beijing, the Dong Family was a small family. In terms of scale, it was even smaller than the families who came to the Ling Family to cause trouble last night.
Dong Shanchuan was a straightforward person. He never wanted to climb up to others. Therefore, he didn't use his daughter's marriage to curry favor with the Ling Family. He didn't want to use the Ling Family's influence to expand his own family.
This was extremely rare. Only a father like this could raise a daughter who was so righteous.
"I'm here for two things."
Dong Shanchuan finally broke the awkwardness after a long silence.
"I've never paid attention to the conflicts between the big families. It was only last night that I heard that the Ling Family was going to fight to the death with the Sun and Chen Families. I also found out that those families wanted to terminate their cooperation with the Ling Family. "
Dong Shanchuan took out a bank card and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"There's seven hundred million in here. I gathered it overnight. The Ling Family needs money now. Use it first."
Ling Xiao felt as though he was struck by lightning. His blood rushed to his head!
Dong Shanchuan hadn't visited the Ling Family for more than ten years. Who would've thought that he would come immediately after hearing that the Ling Family was in trouble?
Ling Xiao naturally understood Dong Shanchuan's net worth. The total assets of the Ling Family, including movable and immovable assets, were definitely less than five hundred million. This extra two hundred million must have been raised by Dong Shanchuan.
When the Ling Family was in trouble, someone hit them when they were down, while someone else helped them in their hour of need!
"It's not for you!"
Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, Dong Shanchuan continued, "I'm doing this for Ruolan and for my precious granddaughter Xiao Xue."
"As for the other thing, I've kept it in my heart for more than ten years. I have to say it today."
"No one knows a daughter better than a father. My daughter has been with you for more than ten years. I know very well what kind of grievances she has suffered!"
"The Dong Family has never coveted anything from the Ling Family. I only hope that no matter what happens to the Ling Family in the future, you will not let down the eighteen years my daughter has sacrificed for you!"
Ling Xiao lowered his head.
In the bedroom, Dong Ruolan covered her face with her hands. However, she couldn't stop the hot tears from rolling down her cheeks! (To be continued.)
