Lu Jinjiu was next to Qin Beiming. He tilted his head and rested his chin on one hand. He looked at Ling Mo, who was walking in the banquet hall, with interest, “In terms of ability to cause trouble, if the mistress of the Ling family is second, no one would dare to claim first. The pretty daughter of the Ling family is actually being bullied to the point of making a fool of herself.”
Huo Yunting, on the other hand, said, “The one making a fool of herself is the mistress of the Ling family. It is not a glorious thing to mistreat your stepdaughter. Don’t be fooled and think that the daughter of the Ling family is soft and weak. She definitely does not need the sympathy of others.”
“You are right.”
Lu Jinjiu finished the glass of red wine in one gulp. He turned his head and asked Qin Beiming solemnly,
“Third brother, the Second Miss Ling’s birthday party has gathered all the socialites’ daughters in Linjiang City. Take a closer look and see if there are any girls who are pleasing to the eye.”
“Do you think that our third brother has been single for 24 years for nothing?” Huo Yunting sneered.
In his impression, Qin Beiming was a female repellant. On one hand, he was constantly exuding powerful hormones, on the other hand, he had an indifferent attitude that made people love and hate him.
Lu Jinjiu pursed his lips and said helplessly, “Third brother, do you know that aunty is questioning your sexual orientation and won’t let me play with you anymore? If this goes on, you might lose me forever.”
Qin Beiming pursed his sexy thin lips and walked steadily towards the elevator. “Let’s go and see the girl.”
“The girl?”
Huo Yunting was intrigued and followed behind Qin Beiming.
He wanted to see what a girl who piqued the interest of Qin Beiming would look like.
“Third brother, are you hiding a girl from us?” Lu Jinjiu’s eyes lit up. In a blink of an eye, he had already come up with a name for Qin Beiming’s future child.
Qin Beiming: “…”
He only wanted to go and investigate because he felt that the look in Ling Mo’s eyes were extremely similar to his from many years ago.
As for romantic interest, he had never thought about it at all.
On the other hand, Ling Mo walked out of the banquet hall in a dashing manner and rushed towards the elevator at the right time.
As expected, the group of gunmen arrived within 30 seconds.
If they were not armed, the group of gunmen would not be her match. The bad thing was that they were armed with contraband weapons.
No matter how skilled she was, she could not be faster than a gun.
In her previous life, she was kidnapped to an abandoned factory in the suburbs because she did not have any weapons. Although she managed to kill the group of criminals after a few days, everyone in the country knew that she had been kidnapped.
Even though she returned unscathed, no one was willing to believe her innocence anymore.
There were even people who spread rumors that in order to save her own life, she had committed herself to being a vicious kidnapper several times, which was why she had escaped death.
Thinking of the past, Ling Mo’s clear eyes were tainted with a layer of hostility.
Before this, she had indeed suspected that all of this was a trap set by Su Yu, and she had also ordered people to thoroughly investigate Su Yu’s background several times.
However, the top intelligence agents in the dark net had not been able to find any information about Su Yu.
In addition, she had inadvertently caught a glimpse of Su Yu driving to the temple to pray for her mother. Only then did she completely dispel her suspicions.
Ling Mo subconsciously looked at her watch. There were only 15 seconds left before the criminals arrived.
However, the screen beside the elevator showed that the elevator was still on the 1st floor!
15 seconds was definitely not enough to get from the 1st to the 25th floor.
In a moment of desperation, Ling Mo had no choice but to press the button for the CEO’s private elevator.
She cursed in her heart. There was no way that the mysterious financier behind Dihuang Hotel would sit around and play in the elevator. Therefore, the probability of her succeeding was lower than winning the lottery.
To her surprise, the moment the elevator door opened, there were three men standing in the elevator with their hair combed back. They were as tall as international male models!
Lu Jinjiu, who was standing on the far left, had long and narrow eyes. He was smiling as he greeted Ling Mo, “Miss Ling, are you waiting for the elevator?”
Huo Yunting, who was leaning on the right side, did not even lift his eyes. He had already fallen in love with someone. Other than Song Xingwan, he had never looked at any other woman.
Qin Beiming stood in the middle with one hand in his pocket. His aura was as strong and cold as the dark night. He just looked at Ling Mo.
When he saw the torn round collar on her neck, his eyes could not help but freeze.
Ling Mo frowned slightly. She could feel that the three men in front of her were not ordinary people.
And the one standing in the middle was the most dangerous.
But then again, the three of them were so good-looking. Perhaps they were specially recruited by the Dihuang Hotel. They should be easier to deal with than the gunmen.
With that thought in mind, Ling Mo’s tense nerves relaxed slightly. Just as she was about to step into the elevator, Lu Jinjiu pressed the button to close the door first. “Goodbye, Miss Ling.”
Ling Mo lifted her skirt with both hands and was thinking about whether she should force her way into the elevator when she inadvertently met Qin Beiming’s eagle-like sharp eyes.
Just one glance was enough to send chills down her spine.
Forget it.
The words “not to be trifled with” were written clearly on this man’s face. It was better for her not to provoke him.
In the CEO’s private elevator, Qin Beiming frowned slightly and asked unhappily, “Who told you to close the door?”
“Ah, this…”
Lu Jinjiu did not react in time. He scratched his head in confusion and said, “Third brother, don’t you hate sharing an elevator with women the most?”
From what he remembered, Qin Beiming had never shared an elevator with any woman before. He was just doing something nice to save the girl from being mercilessly thrown out of the elevator by Qin Beiming.
Huo Yunting pursed his lips and chuckled, “You destroyed third brother’s good intention just like that.”
“Could it be that the young lady that third brother has taken a fancy to is Miss Ling?”
Lu Jinjiu only realized after Huo Yunting pointed out that Qin Beiming was acting strangely today.
Qin Beiming saw the panic in Ling Mo’s eyes at first glance. He thought that she must have encountered some difficult problem.
Although he had always disdained to help others, seeing that the young lady’s looks were to his liking, it was not impossible for him to help her.
When the elevator stopped on the 25th floor again, Qin Beiming changed his dignified appearance and strode out of the elevator.
Lu Jinjiu was about to follow him, but Huo Yunting grabbed him and said, “Jiu, give third brother some space.”
“Ha, third brother doesn’t know how to pick up girls. I’m just trying to help.”
Lu Jinjiu said that, but his body did not comply. One of his legs that had just stepped out of the elevator quickly retracted and said, “Forget it. I’ll help third brother check out Miss Ling’s background first..”
