Ling Mo crossed her arms and leaned comfortably against the seat. Her eyes were slightly closed as she replied indifferently, “Think whatever you want.”
“…”
As soon as she finished speaking, the car fell into a strange silence again.
Ling Tian was so angry that tears kept falling. However, she was unwilling to lose face in front of Ling Mo. She only dared to bite her delicate lips and sob silently.
Ling Yunlong’s anger slightly diminished.
To him, profit was the most important thing. Whether it was Ling Mo or Ling Tian, if anyone could take down Liang Feifan, this big financier, he would definitely make a profit.
Su Yu did not say anything more. She stared out of the car window at the busy stree. Her face was filled with worry as she thought about how to deal with the public pressure.
Tonight, in order to divert the media’s attention, she deliberately created the illusion that she was pregnant. But in the end, she still could not control how the media would guide public opinion.
After careful consideration, she finally opened Wechat to contact her former manager, Zhao Jingchun.
[Brother Zhao, I have a small matter here. I hope you can lend a hand and help me. ]
[ Tonight’s problem is not small. Many media outlets have contacted me. What they write depends on the money you’re willing to spend on pr. ]
[ How much do you need? ]
[ It starts with the number one. ]
[100,000? ]
[ One million. ]
Su Yu stared at the Wechat screen. After deliberating for a while, she replied with a “Yes”.
She did not intend to ask Ling Yunlong for this amount of money. Although Ling Yunlong had never restricted her from using money, this did not mean that he could accept such high public relations fees. Those who had never been in the entertainment industry did not know how deep the waters in this industry were.
The thought of having to pay for the aftermath made Su Yu feel even more upset.
She stared coldly at Ling Mo from the front mirror, who was resting with her eyes closed and gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Back then, it was precisely because of Shi Ying that Ling Yunlong would not even look at her. It was not easy for her to snatch the position of the Ling family’s madam from Shi Ying, but because of that, she was also branded as a mistress.
Now, the little fox that Shi Ying gave birth to had just returned from the countryside, and she could easily make her lose a million dollars. How could she not feel resentment?
But even if so, she had no way to deal with her for the time being. The kidnappers had failed, and she still did not know if the police would find any clues.
The only thing she could do was to give up and try her best to create a good image of a loving mother. She had to completely shut the media up first.
After a long silence, Su Yu suddenly turned to Ling Yunlong and said, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll send Xiao Tian and Mo Mo to school. Mo Mo’s grades aren’t good, so we have to pay more attention to her. Otherwise, I’m really afraid that she’ll be bullied in school.”
“Alright.”
Ling Yunlong replied casually, his face still as cold and indifferent as before.
Half an hour later, they had just returned to the Ling residence when Nanny Wu ran towards Ling Yunlong with a box in her hands. “Master, take a look.”
“What is it?”
Ling Yunlong changed into his slippers and glanced impatiently at the colorful women’s underwear in the box. In his heart, he cursed Madam Wu for being more and more unreliable.
She actually held a box of underwear for him to look at. He wasn’t a pervert.
Why was he looking at these things?
Su Yu followed Ling Yunlong’s line of sight and looked at it. Her expression changed slightly as she shouted at Madam Wu, “How is this appropriate? Hurry up and throw this thing out.”
Mother Wu did not expect Su Yu to suddenly lose her temper. She panicked and shakily explained, “This box of underwear was sent to Miss Mo. I didn’t pay attention for a moment and thought that it was a cleaning appliance that had just been sent. That’s why I opened it.”
Hearing this, Su Yu’s interest was suddenly piqued. She took the opportunity to approach Nanny Wu. “Take a look at the sender’s message.”
“It’s not written on it.”
“That’s weird…” Su Yu picked out a piece of transparent lace underwear from the box, she called out to Ling Mo, who was about to go upstairs with a hint of disdain, “Mo Mo, do you know who sent this to you, or did you buy it yourself?”
Ling Yunlong glanced coldly at the lace underwear in Su Yu’s hand, his face livid.
He had heard about Ling Mo’s dirty deeds in the countryside.
However, he had thought that Ling Mo would restrain herself after returning to the Ling residence. He did not expect her to be so shameless!
“Who sent it?”
Ling Yunlong glared at her and questioned her sternly.
“Hmm?”
Ling Mo looked at the lace underwear in Su Yu’s hand in confusion, and then calmly met Ling Yunlong’s gaze. “Didn’t Nanny Wu say that there was no message from the sender on the mail? Since it wasn’t written, how would I know?”
After saying that, she went upstairs without looking back.
Ling Yunlong glared at Ling Mo’s slender back and cursed angrily, “I worked so hard to raise her for seventeen years, and she actually became an ingrate!”
“Sigh, Mo Mo is indeed a little too willful.” Su Yu shook her head and pretended to be mentally and physically exhausted.
Ling Mo couldn’t be bothered to watch their antics and pretended not to hear their whispers. She was somewhat absent-minded as she wondered who would send her a box of underwear.
Although this was just a trivial matter, it also made her realize that everything after her rebirth seemed to have deviated from the original trajectory of things. The anonymous delivery had never happened before her rebirth.
From the looks of it, she still had to put in some effort to guard against all sorts of evil people.
“Annoying.”
Ling Mo threw off the slippers on her feet and took out an unknown laptop from her washed-out shoulder bag. She carefully browsed through the relevant information about Su Yu.
It was the same as last time. There were a total of thirty slides of the powerpoint presentation, but there was not a single useful clue.
“Impossible. If she didn’t have someone behind her back, how did she manage to hold on to the position as the madam of the Ling family?”
Ling Mo rested her chin on one hand and repeatedly browsed through Su Yu’s relevant information.
Logically speaking, Ling Yunlong was so eager to have a son, but Su Yu was never pregnant. He should have had other thoughts long ago.
But in reality, Su Yu had always had a lot of say in the Ling family, so she didn’t suffer any losses.
What exactly was the problem?
Ling Mo threw her computer aside and then sent a Wechat message to the famous manager in the country, Ryan.
[ Brother, Su Yu caused such a big commotion today, why hasn’t she made it onto the hot searches yet? ]
[ Her former manager, Zhao Jingchun, used a lot of connections. In addition, she spent a large sum of money on public relations fees. She has already settled the matter. ]
[ She settled the matter with seven figures? Leak this news to her old nemesis, Bai Jie, and help her appear in the headlines again. ]
[ Done, leave it to me. ]
After receiving the reply, Ling Mo was satisfied. She opened the game on her phone and continued playing..
