Chapter 195: Caught red-handed

When they saw the prettiest girl in school standing right in front of them, the two students who were ready to eat their meal looked as though they had hit the jackpot.

They did not process whatever Ning Lingyu had requested of them.

“What… What’s the matter?” They were simply so excited, it took some time for one of them to dazedly ask.

Ning Lingyu merely smiled and asked again, “I would like to eat with my brother at this table. Would it be too much to ask for both of you to let us have it?”

“Your brother? Ah, Ling Yun!” Even without the prettiest girl in school Ning Lingyu asking them, Ling Yun alone would have made them give the table up. The two students hurriedly nodded their heads and moved from the table without uttering another word.

One could say that they were now Ling Yun’s loyal fans.

Ning Lingyu gave a tender smile and thanked the two students. She then waved towards Lingyun and asked him to come over.

Lingyun felt that his sister was a pretty nostalgic person. Even when they were eating in the mostly empty restaurant, she had to pick this exact table.

He did not want to spoil his sister’s good mood. Therefore, he gave her a gentle smile and walked over.

“Brother, you just sit here and I’ll go and order our food, okay?” Ning Lingyu asked.

Upon arriving in the restaurant, the siblings had attracted the attention of the students eating there. Yet this time, Ning Lingyu was completely different from the last time she was here. She could not have cared less about the stares she was receiving. There was no shame nor anger this time.

“Roast pork, sweet and sour ribs, spring chicken with mushroom…” With that fantastic memory of hers, Ning Lingyu managed to order the exact same dishes as she had last time. It was even done in the same exact order.

After ordering, with light steps, she returned to her corner table and sat. She then stared passionately and intensely at her brother Lingyun with her big beautiful eyes.

“Brother, you skipped classes again didn’t you?” Ning Lingyu inquired.

Lingyun began to sweat profusely for fear of getting reprimanded by his sister. However, he had a way to deal with this. He replied, “Er, Lingyu, I didn’t skip class this time. I was excused.”

Upon hearing he had been excused, Ning Lingyu decided to switch the conversation topic. She put on an anxious face and said to Ling Yun, “Brother, you have to catch up with your work. I want to enter the same university as you.”

Lingyun gave a relaxed smile and said, “Relax, I’ve already promised Mother that I would enter the same university as you.”

“Brother, Mother called you today?” Ning Lingyu asked, clearly confused.

Lingyun shook his head and replied, “Nope. I went home today and met Mother.”

“Went home? What for?” Ning Lingyu asked, clearly piqued with curiosity.

Ling Yun purposely took a look at his surroundings, and secretively said, “I passed the Maserati to mother. Since you’re not using it now, why not let mother have it? It’ll be more convenient for her.”

Ning Lingyu found Ling Yun’s expression considerably amusing. She gave an amused laugh and said, “Mom definitely praised you then.”

Lingyun gave a satisfied laugh and said, “I didn’t just bring Mom a Maserati. I also bought two mansions and brought the contracts to Mom.”

“Huh?” Ning Lingyu was taken aback by what her brother had just said.

No wonder he didn’t even flinch when he bought six LV bags at once. He even bought two mansions!

How much money did he spend exactly? 

Ning Lingyu thought to herself, unable to bring herself to ask it to him directly.

“The mansions weren’t expensive as we bought them at half price. Two of them cost only slightly more than 40 million in total,” Ling Yun said so without putting much thought into it.

Ning Lingyu was utterly shocked. She had thought her life was blessed enough. Yet it turned out there were bigger blessings to come.

While she was in that state of dreamlike happiness, she quickly found herself feeling slightly dejected.

She realized she had lost her goal which she had been striving for. She did not know what she could fight for anymore now that Ling Yun had brought stability and wealth to the family.

Mansions, a sports car, branded items, and money. These were the things she had been working hard for. However, these things had appeared for her brother in the blink of an eye.

Only now did she truly understand the meaning behind what her brother had once said. Don’t force yourself to learn something you don’t want to learn. Don’t do what you don’t want to do.

“About that… Brother, I…” Ning Lingyu stuttered.

This newfound fortune had come too quickly. Ning Lingyu was suddenly surrounded by a surge of emotions to which she did not know how to respond.

Ling Yun understood her feelings. After waiting for a full five minutes, Ling Yun then told Ning Lingyu, who was calming down, “Sister, relax. Things that can be bought with money are not worth mentioning. I’ll teach you something more important. Just take a few days to get used to this. From now on, you won’t have to work so hard just for some meaningless grades.”

Even if Ning Lingyu were to just return home to play every day and not learn anything for the next two months, she could still easily enter Yan Jing University.

Lingyun continued, “It’s fine as long as you can enter university. There’s no need to compete for number one. Do you remember? The world isn’t exactly how you perceive it. This Sunday, I’m going to bring you around and teach you a thing or two! Does that sound good to you?”

Ning Lingyu was smart. She had begun to understand what her brother meant. She gave it some thought and nodded her head obediently.

The only thing that Ning Lingyu wanted to know now was the secret behind Ling Yun’s sudden rise to power and prominence. She knew this was her brother’s secret, and as long as he did not want to reveal it, she would just choose not to ask.

Hearing what he had told her today, Ning Lingyu understood that her brother would tell her the answer very soon.

The siblings happily chatted while waiting for their dishes to be served. Just as the first dish was about to be served, Lingyun saw three people entering the restaurant.

Cao Shanshan, Zhang Ling, and Miao Xiaomiao.

Lingyun was shocked. He was supposed to be on sick leave and he knew that they knew it. He knew he was in trouble this time.

Even though he was supposedly on sick leave, he was having dinner in school!

Miao Xiaomiao had been treated to two meals by Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling today. It was time for her to treat them back after the end of the school day.

The three beautiful girls talked and laughed merrily while walking into the restaurant. Upon entering, Zhang Ling softly mentioned, “Shanshan, come and take a look. Isn’t that Ling Yun?”

Cao Shanshan looked at the direction Zhang Ling was pointing to. Her initial excitement quickly turned into anger.

Cao Shanshan stomped her feet on the floor and thought. Didn’t he say his ‘thing’ was in pain? And he’s just sitting there as if nothing happened? Hmph!

“Come, let’s head over there!” She led the other two and walked straight towards Ling Yun’s seat.

Zhang Ling and Miao Xiaomiao quickly glanced at each other and then closely followed Cao Shanshan over.

“Class monitor, you’re here for a meal? Come, have a seat…” Lingyun saw that he couldn’t hide and hence decided to strategically invite them to eat together with him.

Cao Shanshan was extremely angry with Lingyun. Yet, she did not dare to show it on her face. If Lingyun were to suddenly throw a tantrum, she would not be able to handle the fallout.

However, since Lingyun was in the wrong and he had taken the initiative to ask her to sit, she decided to go ahead and do so. She twisted her tender body and sat close to Lingyun. It was just like in class—her on the outside with Lingyun in the corner.

“Hi, Shanshan!” Ning Lingyu warmly greeted as she saw Cao Shanshan.

“Lingyu, you look really pretty today…” Cao Shanshan was sitting right opposite Ning Lingyu. She had to say hi. After staring blankly for a while, she couldn’t help but compliment her.

At the same time, she gave Miao Xiaomiao a quick glance. She thought about how much Lingyu’s aura had changed. It was to the extent that Miao Xiaomiao couldn’t compare to her.

“Thank you, Shanshan. You also look very beautiful today. This white dress looks really good on you…” Ning Lingyu simply accepted Cao Shanshan’s compliment calmly.

Cao Shanshan had picked out that white dress this morning. While it was slightly translucent, it accentuated her beauty by a fair amount.

While she was secretly surprised inside, her perfect face maintained a radiant smile. She then nodded her head.

She then turned her head towards Lingyun and softly said, “So? Are you able to do self-study tonight?”

Lingyun knew he couldn’t get away this time. He just naturally smiled and said, “Of course. I’m having my meal here because I’m planning on going back to class to study.”

Cao Shanshan gave an amused laugh and said, “That’s good. Let’s go back to class together later.”

Cao Shanshan didn’t expose Lingyun for using his hurt testicles as an excuse to take a sick leave. That was a secret between them and only an idiot would expose that.

At this time, Miao Xiaomiao and Zhang Ling had both walked to the table. Miao Xiaomiao didn’t utter a single word upon reaching the table. Zhang Ling, however, decided to use her big beautiful eyes to look at Lingyun. With her face red from shyness, she asked, “Ling Yun, would you mind inviting us three beautiful girls to have a meal with you?”

There was nothing much Ling Yun could say in response to that. He swiped a quick glance at the quiet Miao Xiaomiao and jovially said, “Of course. There’s a new student in our class and it’d just be rude to not invite her. Let’s eat together.”

The five of them proceeded to sit down at the table. Cao Shanshan and Ling Yun sat on one side while Miao Xiaomiao sat next to Ning Lingyu. Zhang Ling grabbed a chair from another table.

After introductions, Cao Shanshan smiled and told Zhang Ling, “Zhang Ling, could you call for the waiter? Let’s order a few more dishes.”

She then looked seductively at Lingyun and asked, “Is that alright with you?”
