My name is Dong Ling, and I'm not someone to mess with!
I took out my phone and called Li Xingyu again.
The call connected quickly.
Before he could say anything, I spoke first: "Your son just yelled at me, how rude!"
Li Xingyu: "..."
I continued, "He said I was delusional and that I was being unrealistic."
Li Xingyu replied in a deep voice, "I'll help you get even tonight."
I instantly smiled and said in a sweet tone, "Thank you, darling. You're so good to me."
After that, I hung up the phone and sent a voice message to Li Chengji.
"You’re going to be in big trouble tonight! If you give me twenty million now, I might consider letting it go!"
Li Chengji didn’t reply to my message.
I opened the chat box and found that he had actually blocked me.
I: "..."
What an impatient man!
Forget it; he doesn't deserve to waste my time.
I turned around and went upstairs to try on some clothes.
I have a lot of clothes, enough for two fitting rooms.
After selecting for quite a while, I chose three outfits.
I took pictures and sent them to Li Xingyu.
"Which one do you think looks good?"
Li Xingyu: "They're all fine."
I: "..."
That was as good as saying nothing at all.
I glanced at the time; it was already four thirty.
"You just said there's a family dinner tonight?"
Li Xingyu: "Yes, it starts at six thirty."
I pondered for a few seconds.
Since it's a family dinner, I shouldn't dress too extravagantly.
I chose an outfit in softer colors and put the other two away.
My hair is long, reaching my waist, and slightly wavy, which is perfect for letting it down.
But today, I wanted to tie it up.
I made a simple bun and secured it with a crystal hairpin.
The hairpin is styled like a bow and sparkles in the sunlight.
I applied light makeup and got ready to head out.
The evening breeze was slightly cool.
I tucked the loose strands of hair behind my ear, maintaining an elegant posture.
A black Maybach slowly stopped in front of me.
The driver got out and opened the car door for me.
Li Xingyu was sitting inside, looking down at some documents.
His voice was soft, and the entire car was quiet.
"You’re very punctual." Li Xingyu looked up and glanced at me.
"Since I have an appointment with Mr. Li, I definitely can't be late," I replied with a smile.
"Oh?" Li Xingyu raised an eyebrow, "I thought you would be busy dealing with the headlines."
His words reminded me of that matter.
I took out my phone to check, and sure enough, the front page was filled with photos of Li Chengji and Wang Qiling.
Some showed them kissing, while others captured them entering and exiting hotels...
I must say, those paparazzi are quite dedicated.
Li Xingyu's expression darkened slightly, and the atmosphere around him became cold.
I was quite content to relax, resting my chin on my hand as I gazed out the car window at the scenery. The car slowly drove into the villa area. I knew that the family dinner was about to begin.
After arriving home, Li Xingyu introduced me around. I received a wave of welcome gifts. Some gave checks, others offered cars, and there were even bags and high-end jewelry... I accepted them all with a smile.
Li Xingyu was pulled away by a group of relatives to discuss business in the study. Meanwhile, I was dragged by several women to play mahjong. I made an excuse to step outside for some fresh air and sat on a swing to reply to my parents' messages. They hadn't expected me to attend tonight's family dinner either. After all, in the original story, Dong Ling was still in the dark at this time, foolishly waiting to get married.
"Well, if it isn't the young lady of the Dong family?" A pretentious voice came from behind me. Without turning around, I already knew who it was—Wang Qiling. She walked over in high heels, making a clattering sound beside me.
"Miss Dong, why aren't you going inside?" she asked while deliberately kicking the swing to create a creaking noise.
I frowned. "Miss Wang, don't you think that's quite rude?"
"Are you talking about me, Miss Dong?" Wang Qiling blinked innocently. I rolled my eyes and chose to ignore her.
