Luo Ziling didn't expect that the little girl Ling Qingqing would actually stand up and speak for him. The other people also didn't expect that Ling Qingqing would actually speak for Luo Ziling in public. They all looked at the pretty girl with a blushing face in surprise.
Ling Qingqing is a descendant of Ling Jinhua's younger brother Ling Jinxiu. She is the daughter of Ling Zhengtuan, the second son of Ling Jinxiu's eldest son Ling Qirui. Her relationship with these descendants of Ling Jinhua is already slightly distant. She is the fourth collateral line with Luo Ziling, Ling Haining, Ling Haijun, Ling Haiyang and others.
The blood relationship of generations, and the prohibition of marriage in the marriage law do not include their relationship.
After Ling Qingqing said these words, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw everyone looking at her.
She originally wanted Ling Zhengjun to intervene and call Luo Ziling a "bastard" when she saw him, but after feeling the attention of everyone and feeling the immense pressure, she finally lowered her head and stopped talking.
After listening to Ling Qingqing's words, Ling Mingrui looked sternly at Ling Haiyang who was kneeling on the steps, and then at the other Ling family heirs who had their heads lowered: "Everyone who participated in the fight and insults just now, please come forward."
No one dared to resist. Those who had called Luo Ziling a "bastard" and were beaten so severely by him that their bodies were injured could only stand up dejectedly.
"Everyone kneel down," Ling Mingrui ordered with a majestic look: "Your great-grandfather actually got into a fight in the yard on his birthday. Kneel down and reflect."
"thump"
"thump"
…
The sounds of continuous kneeling were heard, and all the descendants of the Ling family who participated in the fight knelt on the steps. After kneeling down, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at Ling Mingrui and Ling Jinhua, who was being supported by two special guards. Among the younger generations like them
In their hearts, Ling Mingrui is already an authoritative figure who cannot be offended, an elder they can only look up to, let alone Ling Jinhua.
Ling Jinhua rarely cares about things now, let alone interferes with the affairs of his younger generations. He once said that it is the parents who are responsible for disciplining their younger generations.
Today, the old man came out in person and stood there the whole time. They were frightened to death.
Everyone knows that whether it is Ling Mingrui or Ling Jinhua, they can decide the fate of their juniors with just one sentence. If they appreciate you, your future is boundless; if they hate you, you will not be able to get ahead, even if you
No matter how good your ability is.
After the heirs of the Ling family knelt down, Ling Mingrui stared at Luo Ziling coldly.
Only he is still standing.
But Luo Ziling had no intention of kneeling. When he saw the eyes of Ling Mingrui and others looking at him, he said proudly: "I'm sorry, the only one who can make me kneel down willingly is my grandfather, because he is the one who brought me to my knees."
The person who raised me is not only my grandfather, but also a father and mother. In the future, I may kneel down to my parents, but not now. The only one I am willing to kneel down and kowtow to is my grandfather."
Luo Ziling glanced at Ling Ruonan who was standing next to her, "My mother abandoned me since I was a child, causing me to lose maternal love. I didn't have a complete childhood, youth, or even went to school. And in the past twenty years, she
They have never visited me, and neither has my father, so I have a prejudice against them. Even though the prejudice has disappeared now, I still feel a little resentful about it. And it is you people who have caused this situation in our family, at least you.
People have played an important role. During this period, some people have tried to kill me several times. Today someone insulted me in public again. You have been bullying me and you want me to kneel down in the Ling family compound. Please forgive me for not being able to do so.
, unless you break my legs."
While saying this, Luo Ziling's eyes glanced at Ling Haining and Ling Haijun, who had remained silent.
Ling Haining and Ling Haijun actually felt a little chill when they felt Luo Ziling's gaze.
Ling Haining couldn't help but lowered his head, unwilling to look at Luo Ziling.
Because it was still early and it was not yet lunch time, many important figures in the Ling family, such as Ling Haining's father Ling Zhengping, Ling Haiyang's grandfather Ling Mingqing, and some of his peers had not come yet.
These people have the highest status among their peers in the Ling family, while other people who have arrived have relatively lower status.
In fact, this is quite understandable. People with low status want to come over early to get close to a few old men and gain some benefits. Those with high status do not need to do this.
Ling Zhengjun came here so early because he wanted to talk to several elders of the Ling family about matters related to his future arrangements. He was eager to go further, and today's meeting was the key. But he didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Before even talking to Ling Mingrui and Ling Jinhua, he was slapped in the face.
What made him even more unexpected was that Luo Ziling would still be so arrogant after beating someone.
The attitudes of Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui were a bit strange, which made Ling Zhengjun feel bad.
At this time, he wanted to kill Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling was unwilling to kneel down and said such harsh words, which made Ling Mingrui feel embarrassed.
The same was true for Ling Ruonan. He originally thought that if the old man came forward, the matter would be handled in a way that she could accept. Unexpectedly, Luo Ziling was still so arrogant. After hearing Luo Ziling say those words that were prejudiced against her as a mother, she felt a little bit better.
Guilt.
Therefore, she immediately stood up, walked to Luo Ziling, and said to Ling Mingrui: "Dad, let me kneel for him."
After saying that, he was about to kneel down, but was caught by Luo Ziling.
"Mom, we didn't do anything wrong. We didn't do anything to regret the Ling family. Why do we kneel down? They thought we were easy to bully, so they took advantage of the large number of people. Not only did they scold me, they also wanted to beat me. But they couldn't beat me.
They want to use bodyguards and weapons. We have been bullied by them enough in the past twenty years or so, why should we let them continue?" Luo Ziling said, looking coldly at Ling Mingrui and Ling Jinhua behind Ling Mingrui.
Looking at the others, "They want to continue bullying our mother and son, and I will not agree. Last night, our mother and son were assassinated by them when we were together, and there will definitely be times like this again..."
"Ling'er, stop talking!" Ling Ruonan almost begged.
In all these years, she has never felt so helpless and unable to control the development of things.
But in front of so many people, she didn't want to blame Luo Ziling.
"Since they don't treat us as family members and call me the bastard you gave birth to, there is no need for us two bastards in the eyes of the Ling family to stay here anymore. Let's go," Luo Ziling said, pulling Ling
Ruonan's hand was about to leave, "No big deal, let's go back to the northwest together. Although life there is hard, I can support you for the rest of your life."
With that said, he ignored Ling Ruonan's reaction, grabbed her hand and prepared to leave.
