"Mom, how much does this cost..." Ling Ping's only Beta daughter, Ling Yao, clicked her tongue on the decorations in the living room, pointed to a baroque painting in the corridor and asked in a low voice, her eyes sparkling.
Mrs. Li said helplessly to her daughter in a low voice: "Don't talk about it now..." If she hadn't been desperate, she would not have chosen Ling Ping to come to Emperor Star to find Ling Cen at this time...
They were the ones who made a mistake before, and confidently felt that Ling Cen would not dare to abandon his "mother's family". After all, this was his only backing in the Lu family.
The choice of a wise person would be to abandon the past and support the family he was born in. They are a community of interests, all prosper and all suffer. She has never worried that Ling Cen would dare to remember the past...
Her stepson should know that if there is a rift between him and the Lu family in the future, he must have the space and power to rely on. No matter how much he hates him, he will not dare to turn against them!
I didn't expect this to be a complete idiot, so stupid than his father who is second in line!
She didn't expect the powerful key points in it at all. She thought that if she had a pretty face, everything would be fine and she could rest in peace for the rest of her life. She didn't realize the importance of her mother's family at all.
The few times she and Ling Ping came to the door, the old Mrs. Lu of the Lu family asked them to go out politely with a few words...
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth in hatred. She never expected that she would be smart all her life. In the first half of her life, Lan Junyi went smoothly and became the new Mrs. Ling of the richest family in the entire Suyue Star. In the end, Xiao He was the success and Xiao He was the loser. The idiot Ping lost the Ling family property.
Ling Cen, who is a son, is even more stupid... Marrying him to the Lu family is of no use, causing the Ling family to fail to get in touch with the Lu family in time, and being kicked out of Suyuexing by the Fried family with nowhere to go...
"Those have been here for a long time, no one remembers how much they are..." Ling Cen replied in a deep voice, and smiled when he heard Ling Yao's words. His sister is still the same as before, and she likes the price behind these things...
Walking down the steps slowly, Lu Xiao was by his side... Mrs. Lu was shrewd and had already stopped showing her face. She knew that since Ling Cen wanted to see her, she would have to call it quits.
She is a mother-in-law. Even if she likes Ling Cen no matter how much she is in, it would be an embarrassing situation for her to come between Ling Cen and the Ling family. If she hears something that slanders Ling Cen, no matter whether she believes it or not, it will make Ling Cen feel sad.
It's better to leave it to her son. Anyway, Lu Xiao will definitely accompany him, so that Ling Cen won't suffer. She is willing to give her son a chance to show off, so she hides.
"Hmph!" Ling Ping snorted when he saw Ling Cen showing up, and sat up on the sofa sideways, waiting for Ling Cen to apologize.
As his father, Ling Cen has no respect for him. Now that he is Lu's family member, he has not come over to apologize honestly.
Ling Cen completely ignored Ling Ping, and just stood by the sofa and leaned over to ask Lu Xiao, "Sit up?"
"En." Lu Xiao responded in a low voice, and Ling Cen leaned over and pressed the edge of the wheelchair, waiting for Lu Xiao to move himself up. The two of them had to repeat this kind of cooperation several times a day. Ling Cen's smooth flow was naturally incomparable...
"What do you take me for?!" Seeing that Ling Cen dared to ignore him, regardless of the presence of other people, Ling Ping immediately slapped the back of the sofa and became furious.
Ling Cen acted as if he had never heard of it, and supported Lu Xiao with one arm to watch him slowly sit on the sofa. Mrs. Lu's waist had been injured in the early years, and she had a problem. In order to ease her discomfort, the sofas at home are all in line with human mechanics Standard, more fitting and soft.
It is difficult for Lu Xiao to find a support point every time, and he has to try many times. Ling Cen is used to waiting quietly by the side and offering help from time to time.
The Ling family was dumbfounded. Is that tender Omega in front of him really his elder brother who can only sneer?
Mrs. Li reacted the fastest. They were sent by Mrs. Lu several times. They have never met Lu Xiao, but judging by the posture, the mask and the wheelchair were seated by Ling Cen himself. This should be their " son-in-law".
Immediately, he quietly tugged at the corner of Ling Ping's clothes, indicating that it was not a good time to get angry. If Ling Cen really got favored, they would sternly scold him when they came up, which would immediately ruin the Ling family's position in Lu Xiao's heart.
Ling Ping was already used to his wife's reminders, he obeyed and snorted reluctantly, and prepared to sit down.
Ling Cen was one step ahead of him. After Lu Xiao took his seat, he had already sat on Lu Xiao's head.
"What do you want me to think of you?" Ling Cen lowered his eyes, looked at the joints of the marble tiles on the floor and said softly.
"You..." Ling Ping was immediately overwhelmed by this sentence, feeling depressed in his chest.
"husband!"
"Dad!" Mrs. Li and Ling Yao immediately got up and supported Ling Ping who was shaking twice and leaning back.
"How are you, Dad?" The two brothers Ling Siye and Ling Sicheng also rushed forward to surround Ling Ping, asking with concern.
What an autumn picture of a loving father and filial son, an intimate family in autumn, Ling Cen clicked his tongue... His gaze became even colder, Ling Ping fell down for a long time and didn't see Ling Cen coming over, so he could only tremble and vent his anger Looking at him, he heard the wind in his throat, and said with a pale face: "Nizi, come here and kneel down.
"?" Ling Cen raised a question mark, and the two brothers, Ling Siye and Sicheng, supported Ling Ping from left to right as if protecting the Dharma, and glared at him from the opposite sofa.
Ling Cen couldn't help laughing out loud. Before going downstairs, Lu Xiao comforted him a few times, but his palms were still sweating nervously. Unexpectedly, seeing this scene of "true feelings" of family affection, he was completely afraid and disgusted.
She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Dad, your acting skills are much better than mine. If you gave me 10%, I'm afraid I would have won the Best Actor long ago, and you knelt down. Have you watched too many TV dramas recently?"
"Ling Cen, I beg you, don't be angry with your father anymore." Mrs. Li broke down, weeping.
Ling Cen turned his eyes to Li Ting, sighing, after so many years, Li Ting has also changed from a beauty to an Omega with a mean face tainted by time, and her vision is still limited to the plants and things of the Suyue star far away in the seventh orbit , and the self who was severely beaten by her for using a little skill in the past has actually already come out.
He lives in Dixing. He has a husband who loves him very much and a family who is willing to accept him.
Ling Cen couldn't help but look at Lu Xiao beside him. Lu Xiao was aware of the movement around him, and his eyes calmly swept over Mrs. Li, who was weeping and crying, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Ling Cen shook his head lightly.
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth secretly. They were kicked out by the Fried family, and the Ling family fell into ruin. The money from selling the remaining property of the Ling family had already been spent.
Before going to the Lu family to ask the Lu family to help them get back together, although the Lu family pushed back and forth, they still treated them as relatives... The money spilled out of their hands was enough for them to maintain their previous lives.
The days of living on the third orbital star are even more joyful and self-sufficient. The family lives on a small island by themselves. The villa is built on top of the ridge and is built according to the terrain. They can also take a yacht to go fishing every day.
Whatever you want, from her limited-edition bags to Siye Sicheng's speedboats and sports cars, just ask and someone will deliver it.
Even if the Ling family's business returns to the same level as when she first married into the Ling family, she will have to weigh such a large sum of money. She has already accepted such a life. Even if Ling Cen refuses to see them for the rest of her life, at least their Prosperity and wealth are preserved.
Unexpectedly, one day, all these things were taken back. Mrs. Li was so angry that her nails stabbed deeply into her palms. She was still sunbathing on her yacht in her swimsuit that day. Suddenly, several Alphas rushed up and let the yacht dock. .
She and her daughter screamed in fright, thinking it was a star thief, but when the yacht docked, Ling Ping and Siye Sicheng at home were already standing timidly at the pier.
Several Alphas proudly announced that the Lu family decided to take back everything, they were not allowed to take anything away, and left before tonight.
Alpjha supervised them to pack up their things, the account was frozen, and all the things of the Lu family that could be exchanged for money were left behind...
If they hadn't bumped into a speculator who came to Emperor Star to do business on the road, saying that he was a family member of the Lu family's daughter-in-law in Emperor Star, and met a star thief who had all his money robbed of him, and that speculator felt that the rare goods could live to support them. Can't even reach Emperor Star.
Li Ting desperately forced herself to calm down. Ling Cen had already had a deep rift with them, and now he could only find a breakthrough in General Lu.
"Admiral Lu, please save us!" Mrs. Li burst into tears.
Lu Xiao wondered, "Do you... need help?" She doesn't look bad... her hands and feet are sound, her complexion is also healthy, and there is no sign of malnutrition.
Mrs. Li was blocked for a while, and she didn't know how to answer. She is the mother-in-law of the land general...shouldn't she treat each other with courtesy? Did General Lu play his cards out of routine?
"Haha." Ling Cen couldn't help covering his lips and chuckling. Lu Xiao's upright nature actually made Li Ting, who had a delicate heart, speechless.
They ignored Ling Ping, Li Ting's tears were still on her face, and her face was stiff. Ling Ping actually got better on his own, and said harshly, "Ling Cen, we're here...to discuss with you about investing in your family."
He could see Ling Cen's attitude. He was afraid that he would avoid him for another half a year. If he hid for another six months, they might have to live in a slum.
Regardless of Lu Xiao still sitting on the side, he said his request in a deep voice: "With an investment of 120 million, almost all of the Ling family's property can be recovered, and the Lu family needs to be more concerned about the future, Ling Cen?"
They still need the connections and power of the Lu family, but it's hard to say this clearly. When it comes to this, Ling Cen should understand.
Ling Cen was indeed very clear: "120 million... Did you include the property that grandpa had when he was still there?"
It is true that his family once...had this amount of property, but it is already a thing of the past.
Ling Ping's face turned red, and he opened his mouth to say something, but Ling Cen raised a finger to signal him to shut up.
"Since you took over, the Ling family's property has been declining and shrinking. My mother was fine when she was there, but the building is about to collapse after she left..."
"Before I got married, the Ling family's property was converted into star coins. I haven't seen the financial report with my own eyes, but it is estimated that there are only 30 to 40 million star coins left...Is that right?" Ling Cen said softly.
Ling Ping was stunned. What he said was correct. He really didn't expect that his "stupid" eldest son of Omega could accurately estimate the property value of the Ling family...
Ling Cen shook his head silently. Ling Ping thought highly of himself, and thought he was the smartest person in the world. Li Ting only grasped this point of him, and was able to play with him in applause. The downfall of the Ling family , he, the helm of the Ling family, should take at least half of the responsibility...
"Ling Cen, I'm your father!" Ling Ping's eyes were almost bursting with anger, and he panted angrily.
The two brothers of the Ling family and their sister Beta were frightened into silence for a moment, not daring to speak. Even Mrs. Li, who had just been lifted up by her son and was pretending to be crying, was frightened and her crying stopped abruptly.
Everyone was waiting for Ling Cen to speak, and they had a premonition in their hearts that Ling Cen's next words would determine the fate of the Ling family...
Lu Xiao put his hand on Ling Cen's hand. Ling Cen turned his palm and held Lu Xiao's palm sideways. It was warm and powerful. Lu Xiao's actions gave him a hint of courage.
Ling Cen raised his head, looked directly at Ling Ping, who was 30% similar to him but much older, and said sincerely in a deep voice, "I really wish I didn't have a father like you."
The cowardly and fearful children of the past have grown up, and the unclimbable peaks are just a grain of sand on the soles of their feet... Ling Cen realized in a daze that the iron chains tied to him had long since decayed, and they could easily break at the slightest application of force. .
Lu Xiao knew that Ling Cen had nothing to say, so he subconsciously leaned over to protect Ling Cen and confirmed in a low voice, "Are you finished?"
Ling Cen nodded: "It's over." He has nothing to do with the Ling family anymore.
Lu Xiao nodded and said, "Go upstairs first." It's time to see off the guests...
"Call the shift security..." Lu Xiao pressed the internal contact on the side of Xiaoji with one hand.
"Wait a minute! Did you know that he was already slept by that bad old man Manli?" Before Li Ting could react, her daughter Ling Yao jumped up and screamed regardless.
