Watching the fate of Huang Fei and these two Miss Longs, Su Qianqian and her mother’s faces immediately turned deathly pale. Sensing trouble, they slowly retreated, attempting to slip away.
“Where are you going?” Third Sister’s eyes darted, fixing on them and questioning.
Su Qianqian and her mother froze. Su Qianqian forced a smile, “Third Miss, this is your family’s business. As outsiders, we feel it’s best not to disturb you, so we wanted to leave quietly. You see?”
“I think you’d better come with us!” Third Sister said coldly, staring at her.
They made us happy for nothing, and she’s the ex-wife of the man who ruined our plans, so we can’t let her off the hook!
Su Qianqian’s face turned pale, “Third Miss, I…”
“Shut up, come with us!” Third Sister said sternly.
Fourth Sister immediately stepped forward, staring at them coldly. “If you dare to run, this young lady will have people break your legs on the spot!”
“No, Li Yang, save us quickly.” Su Qianqian, terrified, quickly pleaded with Li Yang for help.
Lin Lan also said, “They say a day of marriage is a hundred days of kindness. Li Yang, you can’t just stand by and watch, can you?”
“What did you say? Say it again, and if possible, please speak a little louder, I can’t hear you,” Li Yang said with a playful smile.
When you harmed me, why didn’t you mention a hundred days of kindness?
Now that I’m in trouble, you’re bringing up a hundred days of kindness.
If you want to guilt-trip me, you should first see if you have basic moral integrity!
Lin Lan gritted her teeth in anger, “Are you really so heartless? Aren’t you afraid that if this gets out, people will say you’re cold and cruel, unwilling to even care about your ex-wife’s life or death?”
“Whoever dares to spread this will be an enemy of the Long family,” Long Lingling stepped forward, putting her jade-like arm around Li Yang’s. “Do you have the guts?”
“I… I don’t dare.” Lin Lan’s face turned deathly pale. She never imagined that the eldest daughter of the Long family would step forward to support Li Yang.
Long Lingling said, “You’d better truly not dare. If anything about today gets out, don’t think I’ll let you off lightly, let alone you, Third Sister and Fourth Sister.”
“Eldest Sister, don’t worry, we promise not to let anything about today get out,” Third Sister immediately said, then grabbed Su Qianqian by the hair and dragged her towards the elevator. “What are you waiting for!”
“Ah, help, Li Yang, save me!” Su Qianqian cried out in pain.
Lin Lan was startled. Just as she was about to run, Fourth Sister grabbed her by the hair and dragged her towards the elevator in the same manner.
“Help, help!”
“Mr. Li, why did you find such an ex-wife?” Long Lingling asked, looking at their disheveled state.
Li Yang smiled, “Who hasn’t been blind and made a mistake in their youth?”
“Does Mr. Li mean that we shouldn’t discuss this matter further?” Long Lingling asked.
Li Yang nodded slightly, “There’s no value in continuing the discussion.”
“Mr. Li, if I were to ask you to marry my daughter, would there be value in continuing this discussion?” Master Long, Long Jing Tian, suddenly spoke with a chuckle.
Li Yang was surprised, “You want to marry your eldest daughter to me? Master Long, are you joking with me?”
“I am very serious. What do you think? Give me a definite answer,” Long Jing Tian shook his head and said with a smile.
Long Lingling’s pretty face blushed, and she said coquettishly, “Dad, why don’t you discuss such matters with me beforehand? What if Mr. Li already has a girlfriend?”
“Is that right, Mr. Li?”
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes stared intently at Li Yang, clearly showing she was not opposed to Master Long’s arrangement, and even a little reluctant.
Li Yang said with a wry smile, “Master Long, Miss Long, I’m truly sorry, but I do have a girlfriend, and to be responsible, more than one.”
“It seems Miss Long and I are fated to be apart.”
“What’s this about being fated to be apart? You’re not married yet, just in a relationship with a girlfriend,” Long Jing Tian said dismissively, waving his hand. “Besides, isn’t it normal for capable men to have several women at the same time?”
“This…” Li Yang was a bit bewildered. The old man was too open-minded! “Miss Long probably can’t accept that, right?”
“As long as your feelings for me are genuine and not just a casual affair, I can accept it!” Long Lingling stared at him, biting her silver teeth. “And I don’t believe that among the girlfriends you’ve found, there’s any woman more outstanding than me, Long Lingling.”
“Therefore, the woman who ultimately marries you and spends her life with you will definitely be me!”
“See, my daughter doesn’t mind at all,” Long Jing Tian said with a smile. “Mr. Li, now it’s up to you to agree.”
“Miss Long is exceptionally beautiful, remarkably capable, and comes from an excellent family. I don’t think any man in the world could refuse her,” Li Yang said, looking at Long Lingling. “To be honest, I can’t refuse her either.”
“Then what do you mean?” Long Lingling immediately asked.
Li Yang said, “Miss Long, if you don’t feel wronged, I don’t mind having one more girlfriend.”
“That means you agree,” Long Lingling said happily. “Then from now on, you are my, Long Lingling’s, boyfriend!”
“Can you have dinner at our Long family tonight?”
“Sure, I’d also like to taste what the Long family’s home-cooked meal is like,” Li Yang said with a smile.
Long Lingling said, “Then let’s not delay. Let’s go home now. Dad, you’ve been lying down for so many days and haven’t eaten a proper meal, relying entirely on IV fluids for life. You must be very hungry now, right?”
“Yes, I really want to have a good meal,” Long Jing Tian nodded with a smile. “Mr. Li, please don’t mind if my eating is unsightly later.”
“Where do you get that idea, Master Long? The guest follows the host’s lead. However the host dines, the guest will dine the same way,” Li Yang said with a smile.
Long Jing Tian burst into laughter. After writing a check to send Director Jiang and the others away, they returned to the Long family together.
As China’s number one jade magnate, Master Long’s residence was naturally extremely luxurious. It was a magnificent mansion built on the foundations of the former governor’s mansion of Kunming City during the Qing Dynasty, which had been modified and renovated.
It looked like a city, exceptionally grand.
The furniture and other items in the house were antique Chinese furniture, along with a few Western antique pieces, clearly indicating not just wealth but also taste.
Seeing Master Long return after many days, the household servants were overjoyed and rushed forward to inquire and express their concern.
Long Jing Tian smiled and said, “It’s nothing, I was just out traveling for a while.”
“Everyone, let me introduce you. This is Li Yang, Lingling’s boyfriend, and our future son-in-law. You all should greet him.”
