"Mom, how much does this cost..." Ling Ping's only beta daughter Ling Yao clicked her tongue at the furnishings in the living room and asked in a low voice, pointing to a baroque painting in the corridor, her eyes flashing.

Mrs. Li helplessly whispered to her daughter: "Don't say it yet..." If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have chosen this time to lure Ling Ping to Emperor Star to find Ling Cen...

They had made a mistake before, and they felt confident that Ling Cen did not dare to abandon his "mother's family". After all, this was his only support in the Lu family.

A smart person's choice would be to put aside past grudges and support the family he was born in. They are a community of interests, both prosperous and deprived. She never worried that Ling Cen dared to remember the past...

Her stepson should know that if there is any quarrel between him and the Lu family in the future, he must have the space and power to back off. No matter how much he hates them, he will not dare to fall out with them!

I didn't expect that this person was a complete idiot, just as stupid as his father!

I didn't even realize the powerful details inside. I thought that everything would be fine if I had a pretty face, and I could sit back and relax for the rest of my life. I was completely unaware of the importance of my mother's family.

She and Ling Ping even asked Madam Lu from the Lu family to ask them out several times, and politely invited them out with just a few words...

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth in hatred. She did not expect that she was smart all her life. In the first half of her life, she easily overthrew Lan Junyi and became the new Mrs. Ling of the richest family in Su Yuexing. In the end, she succeeded Xiao He, failed Xiao He, and was still Ling Ping.

This idiot ruined the Ling family's industry.

Ling Cen, the son, was even more stupid... Marrying him to the Lu family was of no use. As a result, the Ling family was unable to successfully join the Lu family in time, and was kicked out of Su Yuexing by the Freed family and had nowhere to go...

"Those have been here for a long time, no one remembers how much they cost..." Ling Cen replied in a deep voice. Hearing Ling Yao's words, he smiled. His sister still likes the price tags behind these things as before...

Slowly walking down the stairs, Lu Xiao was by his side... Mrs. Lu shrewdly stopped showing up, knowing that since Ling Cen was willing to see her, she wanted to end it.

Her identity is mother-in-law, and even if she likes Ling Cen, she will be in an awkward position between Ling Cen and the Ling family. If she hears something slanderous about Ling Cen, it will make Ling Cen sad whether she believes it or not.

It would be better to leave it to her son. Lu Xiao would definitely come with him anyway, so that Ling Cen wouldn't suffer. She was willing to give her son a chance to show off, so she hid.

"Huh!" Ling Ping snorted coldly when he saw Ling Cen showing up. He sat up on the sofa and turned away, waiting for Ling Cen to apologize.

As a father, Ling Cen had no respect for him, and now that he was a member of the Lu family, he still didn't come over to apologize honestly.

Ling Cen completely ignored Ling Ping, standing next to the sofa and leaning over to ask Lu Xiao attentively: "Sit down?"

"Yes." Lu Xiao agreed in a low voice, and Ling Cen leaned over and held the edge of the wheelchair, waiting for Lu Xiao to move himself up. The two of them would repeat this cooperation several times every day, and Ling Cen's movements were so smooth and natural...

"What do you take me for?!" Seeing that Ling Cen dared to ignore him and didn't care about the presence of others, Ling Ping immediately slapped the back of the sofa and became furious.

Ling Cen didn't seem to hear anything. He supported Lu Xiao with one arm and watched him slowly sit on the sofa. Mrs. Lu's waist had suffered from an old injury in the early years and had problems. In order to ease her discomfort, the sofas at home were all in compliance with human body mechanics standards.

, more conformable and soft.

Lu Xiao had difficulty finding a point of support every time and had to try many times. Ling Cen had become accustomed to waiting quietly aside and providing help from time to time.

The Ling family was stunned. The tender-faced omega in front of them was really his eldest brother who could only sneer?

Mrs. Li was the quickest to respond. Mrs. Lu had been the one to send them off several times. She had never seen Lu Xiao, but looking at the posture, mask, and wheelchair, Ling Cen was holding him down with his own hands. This should be theirs.

Son-in-law".

Immediately, they quietly tugged at the corner of Ling Ping's clothes, indicating that now was not a good time to get angry. If Ling Cen was really favored, they would scold him harshly and immediately destroy the Ling family's status in Lu Xiao's heart.

Ling Ping had become accustomed to his wife's promptings, and he snorted reluctantly and prepared to sit down.

Ling Cen was one step ahead of him. After Lu Xiao sat down, he was already sitting under Lu Xiao.

"What do you want me to take you for?" Ling Cen lowered his eyes and looked at the joints of the marble tiles on the floor and said softly.

"You..." Ling Ping was immediately stupefied by these words, feeling depressed in his chest.

"husband!"

"Dad!" Mrs. Li and Ling Yao immediately stood up and supported Ling Ping, who shook twice and leaned back.

"How are you, Dad?" Brothers Ling Siye and Ling Sicheng also rushed forward and surrounded Ling Ping, asking with concern.

What a picture of a loving father and a filial son, an intimate autumn picture of a family. Ling Cen clicked his tongue... His eyes became even colder. Ling Ping collapsed for a long time without seeing Ling Cen coming over. He could only make a shaky breath to get up.

He looked like that, with a whistling sound coming from his throat, and he said with a gray face: "You son of a bitch, why don't you come over and kneel down.

"?" Ling Cen asked, while the two brothers Ling Siye and Sicheng also supported Ling Ping from one side to the other as if they were guardians, glaring at him from the sofa opposite.

Ling Cen couldn't help but laugh. Lu Xiao comforted him several times before going downstairs, but his palms were still sweating nervously. Unexpectedly, seeing this scene of "true feelings" of family affection, he was so scared and disgusted.

He put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Dad, your acting skills are much better than mine. If you gave me a 10% share, I'm afraid I would have won the Best Actor Award a long time ago, and you're still kneeling down. Have you watched too many TV series recently?"

"Ling Cen, I beg you, don't be angry with your father anymore." Mrs. Li broke down and cried pitifully.

Ling Cen turned his eyes to Li Ting and sighed. After so many years, Li Ting has also changed from a beauty to an omega with a mean face that has been infected by time. Her vision is still limited to the grass and grass of Su Yuexing, which is far away in the seventh orbit.

However, in the past, I was beaten severely by her for using some tricks, but I have actually come out of it a long time ago.

He lives in Emperor Star, 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 noticed the movement around him, and his calm eyes swept over Mrs. Li who was crying with tears, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Ling Cen shook his head gently.

Mrs. Li secretly gritted her teeth. They were driven out by the Freed family, the Ling family was in decline, and the money from selling the remaining properties of the Ling family had already been spent.

Before, they went to the Lu family and asked the Lu family to help them get back on their feet. Although the Lu family resisted, they still treated them as relatives... and the money they had from their pockets was enough to maintain their previous life.

The days of living on the third orbit star are even more happy and self-sufficient. The family lives on a small island by themselves. The villa is built on the ridge and is built according to the terrain. They can also go fishing on a yacht every day.

Whatever you want, from her limited-edition bag to Siye Sicheng's speedboat or sports car, just ask and someone will bring it to you.

Even if the Ling family's business returned to the same level as when she first married into the Ling family, she would still have to weigh such a large expenditure. She had already accepted such a life. Even if Ling Cen refused to see them for the rest of his life, at least their

Prosperity and wealth are preserved.

Unexpectedly, one day all of these were taken back. Mrs. Li was so angry that her nails dug into her palms. That day, she was sunbathing on her yacht in a swimsuit. Suddenly, several alphas rushed up and asked the yacht to dock.

.

She and her daughter were so frightened that they screamed, thinking it was a star thief. As a result, the yacht docked, and Ling Ping and Siye Sicheng, who was at home, were already standing at the dock timidly.

Several alphas announced arrogantly that the Lu family decided to take back everything, not allowing them to take anything away, and leave before tonight.

alpjha supervised their packing, their accounts were frozen, and all the Lu family's things that could be exchanged for money were left behind...

If they hadn't bumped into a speculator on the road who came to the Emperor Star to do business, claiming that he was a family member of the Lu family's daughter-in-law on the Emperor Star, and encountered a star thief who had all their money robbed, and the speculator thought that the rare goods were valuable and funded them, they would be like this

I couldn't reach the Emperor Star even once.

Li Ting desperately forced herself to calm down. Ling Cen had already had a deep rift with them, and now she could only find a breakthrough with the land general.

"General Lu, please save us!" Mrs. Li burst into tears.

Lu Xiao asked curiously: "Do you... need help?" She didn't look bad... her hands and feet were sound, and her complexion was healthy. There was no sign of malnutrition.

Mrs. Li was blocked for a moment and didn't know how to answer. She was General Lu's mother-in-law... shouldn't she be treated with courtesy? Is General Lu so unconventional?

"Haha." Ling Cen couldn't help but cover his lips and chuckle. Lu Xiao's upright nature could actually make Li Ting, who has a delicate heart with seven orifices, 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 her own and said in a rough voice: "Ling Cen, we are here...to discuss investing in your family.

.”

He finally saw Ling Cen's attitude, and was afraid that if he avoided seeing her for another half year, if he hid for another half year, they might have to live in a slum.

Ignoring that Lu Xiao was still sitting aside, he spoke out his request in a deep voice: "Investing 120 million can almost take back all the Ling family's properties. Do you still need the Lu family to worry about the future, Ling Cen?"

They also need the Lu family's connections, but it's hard to explain this clearly. When it comes to this, Ling Cen should understand.

Ling Cen was indeed very clear: "120 million...did you include grandpa's property when he was still alive?"

His family did have... an estate of this size, but that was already in the past.

Ling Ping's face turned red and he opened his mouth to say something. 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. It was fine when my mother was alive, but after she left, the building will collapse..."

"Before I got married, the Ling family's property was converted into star coins. I have not seen the financial report with my own eyes, but it is estimated that there are only 30 to 40 million star coins left... right?" Ling Cen said softly.

Ling Ping was stunned. Everything he said was right. He really didn't expect that he, the "stupid" eldest son of an omega, could accurately estimate the value of the Ling family's property...

Ling Cen shook his head silently. Ling Ping regarded himself very highly and arrogantly, thinking that he was the smartest person in the world. It was only by grasping this that Li Ting could use retreat to advance and toy with him in the midst of applause. The Ling family's downfall,

He, the leader of the Ling family, must account for at least half of the responsibility...

"Ling Cen, I am your father!" Ling Ping's eyes almost burst out with anger, and he gasped angrily.

The two Ling brothers and their beta sister were frightened into silence for a moment and did not dare to speak. Even Mrs. Li, who had just been helped up by her son and was pretending to cry by the side, was so frightened that her cries stopped abruptly and she stopped.

The sharp sound flying through the air was quite comical.

Everyone was waiting for Ling Cen to speak, with a vague 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 over and held Lu Xiao's hand sideways. It was warm and strong. Lu Xiao's actions gave him a hint of courage.

Ling Cen raised his head and looked directly at Ling Ping, who was 30% similar to him but much older, and said in a deep and sincere voice: "I really wish I didn't have you as my father."

The cowardly and fearful children of the past have grown up, and the unclimbable peak is just a grain of sand under the soles of the feet... Only then did Ling Cen suddenly realize that the iron chains that were tied to his body had long been rotten.

Break.

Lu Xiao knew that Ling Cen had nothing more to say, so he subconsciously leaned forward to protect Ling Cen and confirmed in a low voice: "Are you done?"

Ling Cen nodded: "That's it." He has nothing to do with the Ling family anymore.

Lu Xiao nodded and said, "You go upstairs first." It's time to see off guests...

"Call shift security..." Lu Xiao pressed the internal communication button on the side of the waiter's table with one hand.
