Se Se never thought that a person's heart could be so cold.
She had always known that her uncle and aunt didn't like her. They wanted to leave all of the Ling family's assets to that good - for - nothing scoundrel, Ling Xu.
Se Se never intended to compete with Ling Xu. She always felt she wasn't qualified.
She came back just to pay respects to her grandfather, but these people were trying to push her towards the underworld.
"Se Se, if you're willing to marry that Huang Sandong, your uncle is willing to give you half of the Ling family's assets. How about that?"
Se Se shook her head.
She didn't care about these things at all.
If she were really forced to marry Huang Sandong, she might as well fight him to the death. She wasn't afraid of dying.
However, she still had friends. She hadn't seen the gang leader yet, and she had the spirit stones in her hand. Half of them were saved by Shuang'er, A Shui, and A Yue for her.
Se Se had promised to return them, and she didn't want to break her promise.
Ling Xu then pulled his father aside and whispered something in his ear.
"Se Se, if you agree to Huang Sandong's request, I'll give you your grandfather's memorial tablet. What do you say?"
Ling Se Se's eyes changed.
Yes, her only weakness in this family was her grandfather.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Ling Se Se fell silent.
Seeing this, her uncle and aunt exchanged a look. They thought they shouldn't push her too hard at this moment, or she might get so angry that she'd kill herself.
So the woman said, "Think it over. We won't force you. Your uncle and I will wait outside. If you've made up your mind, just tell us. We can discuss everything."
Ling Hui led Xu Mei out of the room and took Ling Xu with them.
When Ling Xu left, he even tried to touch Ling Se Se's hand. Ling Se Se quickly withdrew her hand and slapped him.
"You're crazy, you little bitch."
"Stop, stop. Sister didn't do it on purpose."
If it weren't for the fact that they still needed Ling Se Se, Xu Mei would have rushed up and hit her back long ago.
After they left the room, they gently closed the door.
"Should we lock it?"
Ling Xu shook his head. "Father, this girl won't run away."
Even for the sake of the old man's memorial tablet, she wouldn't run away. Ling Xu could see Ling Se Se's thoughts on this point very clearly.
"Xu'er, you're already a third - level spiritual pharmacist. You should be more ambitious in the future. If you can reach the position of the Nan family, no one will dare to bully our Ling family."
Ling Xu pouted impatiently and then walked towards his own courtyard.
Speaking of Ling Xu, it would be an insult to the word "good - for - nothing" to describe him with it.
He was already twenty - five years old, had no intention of getting married, and was idle all day. When he saw a pretty girl, he would even try to take advantage of her.
Touching a girl's butt or groping her chest were just mild actions.
If those girls didn't fear his status as a third - level spiritual pharmacist, they would have confronted and fought with him in the street long ago.
Ling Xu entered his room, put his hands behind his head, and lay down on the bed. He even crossed one leg and swayed it back and forth on the bed.
"If I had known this little girl would grow up to be so gorgeous, I shouldn't have let that old man send her to the Misty Rain Tower. I should have kept her in the Ling family as a low - level maid. It would have been nice to have her in sight."
Ling Xu was extremely lecherous.
In his mind, there was no such thing as family ethics. All he could think about were immoral things.
"However, her little hands are really smooth."
Ling Xu fell asleep while thinking about this.
In his dream, Ling Se Se was extremely obedient to him. If he said go east, she would never go west.
Meanwhile, Ling Se Se was sitting in the room with a blank look in her eyes.
When she was in the Misty Rain Tower, she made many friends. Now that they had graduated, her classmates were all over the Eastern Ze Wilderness, but there were almost none in Qingning.
Moreover, Ling Se Se didn't plan to stay long this time when she came back.
She just didn't expect to be held back by this incident.
Yield? Definitely not.
Gang Leader Ning once said that all the people in Shuiyunsheng had backbone. She and Shuang'er had been with her for so long, and they understood this principle better.
But if she didn't yield, she would definitely not be allowed into the Ling family's ancestral hall.
What her uncle had just said showed that he didn't care about her grandfather at all. In this case, even if her grandfather's memorial tablet was placed in the ancestral hall, it wouldn't be well - worshipped by Ling Hui.
If he could give her grandfather's memorial tablet to her, it would fulfill Ling Se Se's wish for coming back.
Time flew by, and it was soon the day Huang Sandong had mentioned.
At this time, Ling Se Se had already dressed up again. She was wearing a green dress, looking even more charming and beautiful.
Just looking at her, Huang Sandong was already itching with desire.
He couldn't wait to rush over and have his way with the beauty.
"Has my future wife made up her mind?"
Huang Sandong couldn't hold back his excitement. Since Ling Se Se was the most beautiful and delicate girl he had ever seen, he didn't want to push her too hard. If the beauty was pushed too hard and committed suicide, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
This was also the reason why he was willing to wait for these few days.
When Ling Se Se saw Huang Sandong, she felt a wave of nausea welling up in her heart. She tried her best to suppress it so that she wouldn't vomit on the spot.
Huang Sandong's lecherous expression clearly showed what he had in mind.
"Are you Huang Sandong?"
"Yes, I am. You, such a beautiful girl, even remember my name so well."
Ling Se Se took a step forward and said, "I'm from Shuiyunsheng."
"Shuiyunsheng? What's that? I've never heard of it."
One of Huang Sandong's minions said, "Boss, it's a gang formed by a bunch of kids who just graduated from the Misty Rain Tower. It's just like kids playing around and having fights."
"Yeah, maybe they were just lucky and managed to take on one or two big jobs in the martial world, but they're still far behind us."
Se Se was gentle, and her voice was usually soft.
But now she raised her voice and said, "Don't compare your bandit gang with our Shuiyunsheng. Shuiyunsheng never does anything immoral. We may be weak now, but man proposes, and the Eastern Ze Wilderness will surely belong to Shuiyunsheng one day."
"What a crazy claim."
"Boss, this beauty can really talk."
"Nonsense. If she weren't so bold, how could she be worthy of being my wife? Hahaha - "
When Huang Sandong laughed, all his minions laughed along.
Ling Se Se had hoped to use the reputation of the gang to find a way out with Huang Sandong, but this Huang Sandong didn't look down on the newly - established Shuiyunsheng at all.
"Beauty Ling, you've dressed up so nicely today. Aren't you just eager to become my wife? Come here quickly."
Ling Se Se looked at Ling Hui. He then handed her a bag. After opening the bag and checking what was inside, Ling Se Se took a step towards Huang Sandong.
She had already planned her next move.
She would get on the horse, and when they reached the outskirts of the city, she would place her grandfather's memorial tablet together with her father's. Then, Ling Se Se decided that even if she had to die, she would never yield to a villain like Huang Sandong.
