C93 To Pull Back a City

"What is it? Can you tell me? Or you can call your father and ask him? But he is currently working on a board of directors. You can call him in half an hour." Qiao You casually flipped through the schedule. Coincidentally, there really was a dealer who wanted to meet Ling Jiang. Qiao You planned on arranging a meeting with him tonight.

"Alright, I understand. Thank you, stepmother. I originally wanted to tell dad that we're getting married, but since I'm busy, there's nothing I can do." Ling Xiao Yue seemed to lack interest. After she finished speaking, she was about to hang up when Qiao You stopped her.

Qiao You scolded Ling Xiaoyue for being too tactful and purposely being mystified here. However, if this matter was delayed because of her, Ling Xiao Yue would definitely wipe out all her mistakes.

"Look at you, I'm asking you what it is about, but you're not willing to say it. What can be more important than the matter of our month!" Qiao You's tone immediately changed. With a smile, she said to Ling Xiao Yue. Ling Xiao Yue sneered but did not respond.

"Come tonight. At 7 PM, I'll get the steward to prepare more dishes."

"Isn't Daddy having a meal?" Ling Xiaoyue deliberately used Qiao You's words to stop her.

"Mom will arrange this for you. See you then!" After saying that, Qiao You did not wait for Ling Xiao Yue to finish speaking and directly cut off the phone. Ling Xiao Yue looked at the hung up phone and sneered.

Looking at Ling Xiao Yue's expression and the conversation she had just now, Lei Yun Ze could roughly guess what was going on.

Finally, Ling Xiao Yue managed to break away from Qiao You here.

"What do you mean?"

"Tonight at the Ling residence at seven." Ling Xiao Yue briefly explained to him the contents of the phone call.

After Lei Yunze heard this, he said thoughtfully, "It seems like the matter with Qiao Meng had some effect on Ling Yun."

Ling Xiao Yue did not understand why he had said that. Lei Yunze continued, "Qiao You said those words just now because he did not want you to go home to see your father. Furthermore, she had thought of ways to lure you home. Why?"

Ling Xiao Yue lowered her gaze and pondered for a long time, but was unable to come up with a clue. "Could it be that she wants to maintain her good image in front of her father?"

"Not only that, you will be lured back home. Firstly, you will act like a good wife and mother on the surface, and secondly, she hopes that you will reveal your intentions."

"Me?"

"You are quite dissatisfied with many things about your father. Whether it is you or your mother, you have always had some complaints in your heart. However, when you see your father, the displeasure in your heart will be revealed. Like this …"

"Father will hate me!"

"Yes, compared to an arrogant and despotic daughter like you, the well-behaved Qiao Meng will definitely be doted on more. So, the first thing you need to do now is to not do as Qiao You wishes."

This was not the first time Lei Yunze mentioned this. Previously, when he came home, he had mentioned to Ling Xiao Yue that he needed to learn to please Ling Jiang. Although she had tried to do it before, there was always an obstacle in her heart.

"So, Qiao You didn't want me to appear because he didn't want his father to remember that he had a daughter like me." Ling Xiao Yue's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. Qiao You, how could everything be as you wished!?

"At this time, half the effort is worth it." Lei Yunze did not usually like to drink, other than socializing, he would only drink a glass of wine when he was in a good mood. Therefore, the wine stored in the wine cabinet was an extremely precious hidden wine, but he never thought that Lei Yunze would actually take out his treasure.

"Romanee-Conti, suitable for today." Lei Yunze carefully selected a bottle of wine and placed it on the table.

Ling Xiao Yue rolled her eyes slightly as she stood up and went upstairs.

Not long later, Ling Xiao Yue came down and handed an exquisite gift box to Lei Yunze.

"What?" Lei Yunze took the item but did not open it.

"A dowry." Ling Xiaoyue gave a faint smile as her expression turned bashful.

The corners of Lei Yunze's mouth unconsciously lifted as he heard this. He opened it and asked, "Is this the Mobius Organisation?" Lei Yunze took out the gift. He was a bit surprised.

"Yes, a tie pin."

As the Mobius Ring was a ring, Ling Xiao Yue tried her best to flatten it while doing this. After making a hidden buckle, Ling Xiao Yue brought the tie clip over and personally gave it to Lei Yunze.

Traditional tie clamps are clip-like, the shelves will usually have sawteeth, if the tie material is silk type material, if not careful, it is very easy to scratch, and it is also easy to leave a jagged marks, affecting the beauty. Furthermore, if one wanted to accept the tie clip, the first thing one had to do was to remove the tie clip. As long as one pulled the tie clasp out of the tie clasp, it could even be removed without any trouble.

Lei Yunze's eyes drooped as he looked at Ling Xiao Yue, who was standing beside him. Ling Xiao Yue carefully opened it. She carefully helped him wear the tie clip, giving him a look of satisfaction.

"Alright!" Ling Xiao Yue was extremely happy as she looked at her work. The platinum ring was simple and elegant. There was no other decoration on it, just right for him. She found the factory and sent the blueprints over to pick out the materials. For the past few days, she had been in contact with the factory, hoping that she could quickly finish the tie clip and produce a copy. Originally, she had wanted to gift it to him the day before their wedding, but who knew that she would receive it this morning.

Ling Xiao Yue's satisfied smile remained on her face. The moment she raised her head, she met Lei Yunze's gaze. His gaze was as gentle as a mountain spring. His deep gaze seemed to hide a myriad of words. Ling Xiao Yue's heart palpitated as she avoided his gaze. She took a step back. Her injured foot had stood still for too long, so before she could steady it, she felt a pain in her wrist. She fell backwards.

Lei Yunze was quick. He reached out his hand to grab her waist and forcefully pulled her towards him. Ling Xiaoyue stumbled as she threw herself into his embrace.

Ling Xiaoyue was lying on his chest. His slightly cold chest seemed to be burning her face through her clothes. Ling Xiao Yue wanted to leave his side, but Lei Yunze tightened his grip and hugged her.

"Thank you." Most of Ling Xiao Yue's weight was on Lei Yunze, so Lei Yunze seemed to enjoy this part.

Ling Xiao Yue wanted to push him away, but her hand was powerlessly placed in front of his chest. Suddenly, Ling Xiao Yue wished that time would stop there and just stay there quietly for a second longer.

"That …" Just as Ling Xiao Yue wanted to speak, she was carried by Lei Yunze. She nearly exclaimed while covering her mouth. Lei Yunze placed her on the sofa beside him.

"If your feet aren't good enough, don't force yourself." After saying that, Lei Yunze hurriedly turned around. It was as though Ling Xiaoyue had noticed that when he left in a hurry, his face was blushing slightly.
