Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Siblings

After Ye Linglong’s promotion banquet, everyone went their separate ways.

The Bai Family.

The members of the Bai Family gathered together, many of whom couldn’t understand the head of the family’s actions during the banquet.

At that moment, a young member of the Bai Family asked:

"Patriarch, do we really need to offend Lin Tiance because of Miss’s boyfriend?"

"He is just Miss’s boyfriend. He’s been so arrogant to talk to Lin Tiance in that manner. It might be better to have Miss kick him to the curb!"

Hearing this, Bai Zhonglou cast a cold glance at him and coldly snorted:

"You may leave the Bai Family now!"

"Ah..." the person was obviously stunned, as he did have some familial relationship with Bai Zhonglou and was considered part of the Bai Family.

But he never expected that the head of the family would be so ruthless and directly kick him out of the Bai Family.

"Patriarch, I didn’t say anything wrong. He is merely an outsider, not worth our Bai Family’s support to such an extent..."

Bai Zhonglou hmphed, casually waved him away, and threw him out of the door.

And with authority, he declared: "From now on, whoever says anything similar can also leave the Bai Family!"

Everyone looked at each other, and while many had been ready to interject a few words, they now all shut their mouths, remaining silent as the grave.

Everyone was puzzled as to why the head of the family was so supportive of Miss’s boyfriend.

But where could they know Lin Dong’s true identity?

...

On Liu Chuanqi’s side, after getting off the cruise ship, he was ready to return.

He subconsciously asked Li Qingcheng, "Daughter, will you come home with me?"

After asking this question, he didn’t hold much hope. For so many years, his daughter had not returned home for a long time.

He naturally knew the reason she was unwilling to go home.

So this time, he also subconsciously assumed his daughter would refuse without hesitation.

But suddenly, Li Qingcheng nodded and answered, "Okay!"

"What?" Liu Chuanqi was stunned. His daughter agreed? His daughter was willing to go home with him?

"Why, is there another woman at home? Do you not welcome me back?"

"How could that be!" Liu Chuanqi quickly shook his head, "In my life, there’s only been your mother. And, how could I possibly not welcome you back?"

"It’s just too unexpected, such a surprise..."

Li Qingcheng didn’t speak, and silently got into his car.

After the car started, Liu Chuanqi appeared to be very excited.

At the same time, he also understood the reason for his daughter’s change of attitude.

"It seems, if I want to repair the relationship with my daughter in the future, I must start with Lin Dong," Liu Chuanqi secretly thought.

"Thank you for today," Li Qingcheng suddenly said.

"Ah... Thank me?" Liu Chuanqi was shocked again. After so many years, his daughter actually initiated conversation and thanked him?

"Yes, thank you for standing up at that time and supporting Lin Dong," Li Qingcheng spoke softly.

"Daughter, hearing you say that, even if Liu Chuanqi is killed by Lin Tiance tomorrow, it would be worth it..." Liu Chuanqi said.

Li Qingcheng stiffened, murmuring, "Why? Isn’t power and influence what’s most important in your eyes?"

Liu Chuanqi gave a bitter smile but didn’t respond.

His heart was silently saying: "When I was young, power and influence were most important to me! But since I lost your mother, I’ve realized what’s truly most important to me is you and your mother!"

However, he refrained from saying such sentimental words aloud, not befitting of his hardened persona.

...

On Ye Linglong’s side.

At the moment, the members of the Ye Family were all around her.

Apart from Old Master Ye and her younger brother, Ye Ruyu, everyone else looked reproachfully at Ye Linglong.

"Ye Linglong, how could you do this? How could you make a decision on your own and reject Lin Tiance’s marriage proposal?"

Ye Linglong, upon hearing these words, retorted, "What do you mean by acting on my own authority? Can’t I refuse my own marriage?"

"Isn’t that a silly question! What right do you have to refuse?"

Ye Linglong, from the moment you were born, you were chosen by Prince Tian Ce to be his woman. In this lifetime, you can only marry him!"

"Now, with the engagement he so meticulously prepared for you, you have refused him. Do you realize the severe consequences this will bring to the Ye Family?"

"The Ye Family may well be ruined because of you!"

"This time, you’re going to be the death of us."

The relatives were all pointing fingers at Ye Linglong.

In the past, these very people had all fawned over and ingratiated themselves with her, and each one of them had reaped countless benefits from the Ye Family.

Ye Linglong said sternly, "Remember, I owe you nothing! If you fear Lin Tiance’s vengeance, you are free to detach yourselves from the Ye Family. From now on, announce you have no further connection to me!"

At those words, the faces of the relatives went pale.

For years, they had lived well off the Ye Family’s success.

Not to mention in Jianghai, even in the Provincial City, just by mentioning the name of the Ye Family’s Ye Linglong, who would dare not show them respect?

Where would they find the heart to give up all this!

Moreover, they clearly had a closer opportunity. If only Ye Linglong married Lin Tiance, these people would undoubtedly rise even higher.

At that time, who in the entire Dragon Country would dare not respect them?

"Ling Long, how can you talk like that? Most of us here are your elders! We are thinking of your best interests, and for the good of our Ye Family!"

"That’s right, Ling Long, what’s wrong with marrying Lin Tiance? He’s so outstanding!"

"Old Master Ye, you must persuade her, it’s probably not too late to go back on her word. Just let Ling Long offer a sincere apology to Lin Tiance, he will surely forgive her. If that’s still not enough, let Ling Long kneel down to him. A man’s heart will soften when he sees the woman he likes kneeling down..."

"..."

Ye Linglong listened to these people coldly, she had lived under their pressure from childhood.

With such faces, such relatives, dare they claim they are considering the Ye Family’s or her best interest?

Old Master Ye was also furious, "Shut up!"

"How can you people shamelessly say such things?"

"Over the years, how many benefits have you received because of Ling Long? Now, when Ling Long wants to pursue her freedom, to live for herself for once. But you all? Not only do you offer her no support, you only think of your own interests!"

"And now you even pressure her to kneel and apologize to Lin Tiance? Even a dog knows to wag its tail in thanks after eating someone else’s food. But what about you? You are worse than dogs!!"

"Roll, all of you roll out! From now on, you are no longer a part of my Ye Family. From this day forward, whether we die or prosper even more, it has nothing to do with you!"

This loud proclamation left the people looking at each other in dismay.

They still wanted to say something, but Ye Linglong directly slapped her palm down on a nearby table and chairs.

"Boom!!"

The table and chairs shattered, scaring them into hurried flight.

However, some, as they left, still spat out a few sickening remarks.

"You’ll regret it. Do you really think that half-baked Master Lin can compare to Lin Tiance? It won’t be long before that charlatan Master Lin is crushed by Lin Tiance. Then we’ll see how you regret it to your bones!"

They left, and Ye Ruyu sighed, looking at her sister, she asked,

"Sister, do you really believe that he...he can defeat Lin Tiance? Can he contend with the Lin family? Can he snatch you from Lin Tiance’s grasp?"

Ye Linglong nodded gently.

Ye Ruyu was taken aback and then asked, "Sister, why do you have such faith in him? You’ve only known him for a few months."

Ye Linglong said softly, "There are people, even if you’ve only known them for a few months, you would trust them without reservation. And there are those, even after decades, who you would detest!"

"He is the one I choose to trust, I’m certain of it!!!"

Seeing this, Ye Ruyu suddenly said with a laugh, "Okay, sister, since you’re sure, then your brother will always stand by your side."

While laughing and speaking those words, he added to himself,

"Brother’s no good for help, unable to assist sister. If sister loses the bet, the only thing brother can do is die in front of sister first! In the next life, let’s be siblings again. But then, I’ll be the older brother; I’ll always protect you!"

When he thought about this, fear crept in, for unlike his sister’s bravery, death still frightened him!

But fright aside, when it came down to it, teeth clenched, he would face it without flinching!
