She had a transcendent family background, extraordinary looks and figure, an intelligent mind, and a peerless temperament. Adding on her identity as the first successor to the Li family, Li Xiao Xue definitely wasn't inferior to any of Hua Xia's women. However, facing Qi Yue, in just a few seconds, she couldn't help but admit that she had lost.
She couldn't understand or see through this woman's gaze. This woman's face and figure were so perfect that they took her breath away, and the aura that she emitted made her feel an indescribable sense of oppression … As the eldest daughter of the Li family, her position had always been far higher than that of ordinary people. However, when she faced Qi Yue, she could clearly feel that her pride was silently suppressed to nothing in front of Qi Yue.
This was the first time Li Xiao Xue had felt like this when facing a woman.
However, she was Li Xiao Xue, and no matter what kind of situation she was in, how could she show any signs of defeat? She smiled and pulled Ling Chen's arm as she said, "Ling Chen, when did such a beautiful big sister appear in your family? Why haven't I heard you mention her before? That's right, I heard her call you little master, eh? "
Ling Chen didn't hesitate at all as he pulled Qi Yue towards the car, not giving Qi Yue any chance to cause trouble. He said, "She's a maid I found … don't mind her. Take me to see Gu Qing Han. "
"Big brother, are you going out with big sister Xiao Xue?" Tian Tian ran over and opened her hand towards Ling Chen, revealing a strand of snow-white hair. "This is Sha Sha's hair. Big brother, help Sha Sha get a gaming device. Sha Sha seems to have lost her gaming device."
"… Alright." Ling Chen hesitated before nodding. Sha Sha had come from the game, and didn't belong on earth. However, she was a complete person in the real world, and perhaps she really would be compatible with the gaming device.
"Little master, can you take me out with you? I heard that there are a lot of beautiful clothes to choose from outside. I only have this simple dress now, so I'm too embarrassed to go out. "
Qi Yue, who was wearing a veil, said pitifully. Although her clothes weren't transparent, they were still a bit revealing. Moreover, it was completely different from the style of dressing on Earth … But that wasn't the point! Letting Qi Yue appear here was enough to make Ling Chen tremble in fear. Taking her out … Ling Chen shook his head and didn't dare to think about it. He said, "I'll have Chao Ying and Chao Xi buy clothes for you … Xiao Xue, let's go now … Ying, Xi, protect them."
Ling Chen let out a sigh of relief. If Li Xiao Xue and Qi Yue had stayed any longer, who knew what kind of trouble the siren would have caused.
"You know what I want to ask." Holding the steering wheel, Li Xiao Xue said coldly. It seemed like she wasn't in a good mood right now.
Ling Chen leaned his head against the seat and said weakly, "The situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly … Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"… I allow my man to have his own secrets. Moreover, that woman, I really can't get jealous even if I wanted to. I can't even imagine that there's actually such a perfect woman in this world. What's even more unbelievable is that you're actually able to hide it so well. Logically speaking, a woman who can bring disaster to a country should be famous just based on her appearance, even if she's completely useless. " Unknowingly, they had already left the Bamboo Sea Wonderland. The car stopped in front of the first red light. Li Xiao Xue said sadly, "Moreover, you're not just my man."
Ling Chen agreed with Li Xiao Xue's words … But the truth was that Qi Yue wasn't from this world!
…
Su Hang, Gu family.
Ling Chen was wearing a ridiculously large peaked cap. Without even looking down, his face was almost completely covered. After all, he was a national fugitive for a long time. More than half of the Chinese people were familiar with his appearance, so he could only do this. Beside him, Li Xiao Xue intimately held his arm as they walked into the Gu family's residence, causing many people in the Gu family to stare in shock.
It was the first time they had seen the big miss of the Li family being so close to a man of her age. Could it be …
Since Li Xiao Xue had personally come to visit, the Gu family naturally wouldn't treat her lightly, nor would they rudely ask Ling Chen to take off his peaked cap. When they were brought into the VIP guest hall, someone quickly went to report to Gu Qing Han.
"Big miss, the big miss of the Li family has arrived, and she's brought an unfamiliar man. That man looks about the same age as big miss Li, and he's wearing a peaked cap, making it difficult to see his appearance. Because he was brought by big miss Li, we didn't dare to rashly question him. However, it seems that big miss Li is quite close with him … "
Gu Qing Han stood up with a 'whoosh' and hurriedly asked, "Where are they right now?"
Gu Qing Han, who was always as calm as a lake, suddenly acted so excitedly, giving the person a big fright. He hurriedly replied, "They're in the VIP guest hall …"
Gu Qing Han didn't say anything else as she turned and rushed out. Because she was in such a hurry, she tripped over the door frame and almost fell. The person who had come to report stared at the door in a daze, unable to come back to his senses.
This was the second time that Ling Chen had seen Gu Qing Han, and his eyes still lit up. He knew that Gu Qing Han was already middle-aged, but there were no traces of aging on her face. Not only had the merciless passage of time not damaged her looks, but it had instead made her seem even more noble.
It was just that the way she had rushed into the guest hall made him feel quite surprised. Moreover, after she entered, her gaze did not fall on Li Xiao Xue but on him … he remembered that the first time he had met Gu Qing Han, her eyes had been as calm as water, and she had not even looked at him. However, at this moment, her gaze was violently trembling … this was a gaze that would only appear when she had lost control of her emotions.
"Aunty Gu," Li Xiao Xue stood up and politely greeted.
"Hello, Gu family's leader, it's our first time meeting," Ling Chen also stood up and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"He … is …" Gu Qing Han suppressed her excitement as she looked at Li Xiao Xue.
Li Xiao Xue silently nodded.
In that instant, Gu Qing Han's expression became indescribably complicated … excitement, joy, sadness, confusion, pain … all sorts of emotions that shouldn't have appeared at the same time appeared on her face. She waved her hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Everyone leave and close the doors. Without my orders, no one is allowed to come within 50 metres of this place."
Gu Qing Han's words held unparalleled authority in the Gu family, and as soon as she spoke, the people behind her immediately nodded and quickly left. Following this, the doors to the hall were tightly closed, and the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Gu Qing Han sat down in front of Li Xiao Xue and Ling Chen, and her expression became calm and elegant again. She looked Ling Chen up and down, and her gaze slowly swept over every part of Ling Chen's body as she softly said, "You must be Ling Chen. Take off your hat and treat this place as your home. There's no need to feel restrained."
Gu Qing Han's gaze made Ling Chen feel a bit uncomfortable, but her voice was incredibly gentle, making it so that he had no strength to refuse. He took off his hat and revealed his true face as he looked at Gu Qing Han, "You can call me Ling Chen or Ling Tian. Many thanks to your Gu Family Head for his help in yesterday's city battle. "
Ling Chen got straight to the point, evidently wanting to get to the point. However, Gu Qing Han was not impatient at all. Rather, she did not hear the main point in Ling Chen's words, and her eyes trembled as she looked at Ling Chen. "Calling me Gu family's leader is too distant. You can call me Aunty Gu like Xiao Xue."
"Aunty Gu." Ling Chen did not hold back and directly called out.
"Mm." Gu Qing Han smiled and calmed her breathing as she elegantly said, "Ling Chen, before we talk about today's main topic, can we talk about something else? I'm quite curious about you. Of course, I definitely won't say a word about you to anyone. "
Before Ling Chen could speak, Li Xiao Xue quickly said, "Of course you can. If Aunty Gu wants to ask anything, just ask."
She then blinked at Ling Chen and said, "Did you know that Aunty Gu really likes you? You're the only young man that Aunty Gu has taken a liking to in all these years. This is your honour."
"… Then, what does Aunty Gu want to ask me?" Ling Chen could only reply like this. Facing Gu Qing Han, he started to feel that she was quite different to the rumours … the Gu Qing Han he knew always had a cold expression on her face, and no matter who she spoke to, she would always be dignified and emotionless. Moreover, he had heard that she had never smiled before. However, the Gu Qing Han in front of him, no matter if it was her eyes, voice, or expression, they were as gentle as a breeze. This was not the dignified and dignified attitude of someone in the legends, but rather … a gentle mother talking to her son.
Were the rumours wrong? Or was it because Li Xiao Xue was too familiar with her … that didn't seem right.
"Because I'm curious about you, I've done a lot of research on you. Can you tell me … who your parents are? "Gu Qing Han leaned forwards as she asked anxiously. She then realised that she had asked too abruptly, so she added, "I'm just curious what kind of parents could give birth to such an outstanding child."
Ling Chen did not reject this question, and he calmly replied, "I don't have a father. Even though he's still alive, in my heart, he's already dead, as if he never existed. As for my mother … she's already dead. "
"Dead?" Gu Qing Han was dumbfounded.
"She died when I was born," Ling Chen expressionlessly replied, "That's why I've never seen her. The only thing she left me was a name. "
"Tian … ya?" Gu Qing Han softly muttered.
"Yes," Ling Chen nodded. Li Xiao Xue could find out his name in the Long family, so it wasn't strange for Gu Qing Han to know about it.
"However, you've never seen your mother, so why are you so sure that she's dead? Perhaps … perhaps her death was just a lie made up by someone else. Perhaps she didn't die and left you because she had no other choice. In other words … in other words … have you ever thought that your mother might still be alive? " Gu Qing Han said emotionally. Immediately, she realised that she was overreacting, so she explained, "I just feel that if you've only heard of something and haven't seen it for yourself, you can never say for sure that it's true. This is even more so when it comes to family. "
Ling Chen stared in surprise … he had never thought of the possibility that his mother was still alive. This was because ever since he could remember, he had been told that his mother had died the year he was born, and that she had given him the name 'Tian Ya'. Having grown up with this' truth ', how could the young him think of anything else?
However, Ling Chen immediately calmly smiled, "Aunty Gu is right. If you haven't seen it for yourself, you can never say for sure. Perhaps what Aunty Gu said is true. However, whether it's true or not, it's not important to me at all. When I was very young, I envied other children for having mothers. As I slowly grew up, I got used to it, and the concept of a 'mother' faded from my mind and life. She gave me life, but in my life, be it joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, she doesn't exist. Even if she's still alive, the only connection between us is our bloodline … To put it simply, we're strangers who share a bloodline connection. "
"Moreover, when I was 9 years old, I should have died. My current life comes from the determination I made 13 years ago, as well as the faith that Dia Wu gave me. In other words, right now, I have no parents. "
As he spoke, Ling Chen's face remained expressionless, and he was terrifyingly calm.
On the other hand, Gu Qing Han's face was already covered with tears.
Li Xiao Xue wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she chose to remain silent and could only sigh faintly.
