However, it made sense. He had never seen a woman as bold as Ji Liunian in all these years. She actually dared to call Ling Yichuan out right to his face!
Other than her—whether it was a pretty girl from a humble family or a young lady from a noble family—all women were like moths to a flame after seeing Ling Yichuan for the first time. Even if they did not love him, they would definitely fall in love with his considerable wealth!
Looking at Ling Yichuan’s slightly narrowed eyes—like a venomous snake lying dormant, waiting to strike at any time—he could not help but mourn Ji Liunian’s impending fate.
“By the way, Mr. Ling… This Sunday is the birthday banquet in celebration of the senior Mr. Yu’s 60th birthday. The Yu family has already sent an invitation. Are you… going?”
Lian Sihan handed an exquisitely wrapped invitation to Ling Yichuan who glanced at it and did not say anything. He only asked, “Do my parents know?”
Lian Sihan nodded. “Uncle Ling and Aunt Ye knows. Aunt Ye’s health isn’t very good. Uncle Ling hopes that you can go on behalf of the Ling family. After all, they are relatives. It’s not good to be too aloof. Just a token show of presence will do.”
Ling Yichuan did not say anything and just nodded.
Although the Yu family was said to be a relative, they were actually not related by blood at all.
Ling Yichuan’s mother—Ye Zhiqiu—had a stepmother, Yu Fen, who married into the Ye family after Ye Zhiqiu’s parents divorced. Yu Fen did not have a good relationship with this daughter who was not related by blood. When Ye Zhiqiu was in the Ye family, she was often bullied by Yu Fen.
When Ye Zhiqiu and Ling Mufeng first got married, their relationship was not close as it was a political marriage. As a result, Yu Fen’s attitude towards her stepdaughter became worse. Later on, the marriage between Ling Mufeng and Ye Zhiqiu blossomed but the Yu family’s fortune was on the downhill. As such, the Yu family began to curry favor with the Ling family. But due to the bad history, the Ling family did not take to the Yu family.
Yu Bolan was the son of Yu Fen’s only brother. Over the years, the Yu family had become an awkward existence in the Ling family. Although they were relatives, they were not related by blood at all. Then, if they were not relatives, yet they were connected in some way. Ling Yichuan did not fancy this relative at all. He thought for a moment and said, “Just prepare a birthday gift. Anyway, they are not real relatives.”
Lian Sihan nodded. “Understood. Then today…”
“Off to Xinghua Corporation.” Ling Yichuan stood up, his tall figure standing tall and straight. “To meet that wild cat who dares to bare its claws at me…”
Actually, he did not care if Ji Liunian had a boyfriend, was engaged, or even married.
In Ling Yichuan’s eyes, as long as he liked a woman—whether she had a boyfriend or not; was married or not—there was only one outcome!
As long as he wanted her, that woman would definitely become his!
