“No problem! Boss, I don’t even need three days if it is just eight million! I will just buy three of your Land Rovers and it will all be gone! Actually, it wouldn’t even be enough!” Tang Meng said heartlessly.
Ling Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry as he kicked Tang Meng’s ass. He glared at Tang Meng “Don’t act stupid. If we followed your plan, it wouldn’t be enough to buy a plane!”
Tang Meng rubbed his head, grinning, “Big Brother Yun, you actually want to fill this mansion with furniture, right?”
Ling Yun was right; Tang Meng was playing dumb. Ling Yun glared at him again but agreed anyways. “That goes without saying. Listen, I place this fully in your hands. I don’t care what you do, but you must satisfy my mum and my sister. I only have one request: it must be majestic and luxurious!”
Actually, it was quite unbecoming to use eight million yuan to fill such a huge living room of a fifty million yuan mansion. However, it was more than enough to handle the emergency.
Tang Meng assented solemnly. “Big Brother Yun, rest assured, I guarantee that this will be done well. Erm...”
Tang Meng paused, glancing around to be sure that Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu were not in the living room. He continued in a low voice, “Big Brother Yun, you want to dip into the nineteen million from Qingyun Productions?”
Ling Yun shook his head and laughed. “There is no need. Dao Yong gave me eight million today. The money is with Tie Xiaohu, so just get the card from him.”
“Uh...” Tang Meng was dumbfounded. On top of the Land Rover Range Rover, he had also given him eight million yuan?
W-What is this? Did he have too much money so he gave some away?
Ling Yun chuckled secretively and gave Tang Meng a sidelong glance. “My good brother Tang Meng, your big brother is having a housewarming party. Are you going to give me something as well? You see, even Dao Yong gifted me more than ten million...”
Tang Meng knew that Ling Yun was up to no good when he chuckled like that. “Please spare me. You-you how it is with me...”
Ling Yun looked pointedly at the Hummer outside the mansion and smirked. “Don’t you have a Hummer...?”
Ling Yun was deliberately playing around with Tang Meng. He did not expect Tang Meng to turn around, nod, and say, “You want my Hummer? No problem, I will give it to you now!”
Tang Meng was smart and calculative. No matter how brilliant Ling Yun was, he only had one butt and one pair of hands! He could only use a single car at any time. If he gave Ling Yun his Hummer, then he would be able to drive Ling Yun’s Range Rover!
Even though he truly liked his Hummer, the Range Rover was far more attractive to Tang Meng!
“Smart! Okay, let’s get down to business!” The atmosphere turned serious as Ling Yun whispered, “You will drive the Range Rover to meet Dao Yong tomorrow. His men have already been instructed to handle all the formalities. Remember, all of it will be at his cost.”
“Understood!” Tang Meng’s expression was gleeful one moment but turned sour the next. “Boss, why do you only bring Tie Xiaohu along on such good missions? Can you bring me along the next time?”
Ling Yun got up suddenly and knocked on Tang Meng’s head. “I will bring you along when you remember to call me Big Brother Yun instead of Boss!”
“But I am already used to calling you Boss...” Tang Meng nursed his head in protest.
Ling Yun surveyed the entire living room again and said lightly, “As long as each cent is spent practically, you can do as you like.”
Tang Meng agreed. He knew what to do without Ling Yu’s instruction. Tang Meng said, “The highest priorities are the living room, the bedrooms, the kitchen, and then the daily necessities...”
Tang Meng had experienced Zhuang Meifeng’s shopaholic habits. Since Qin Qiuyue and Ning Lingyu were in charge at home, he smiled and said, “Okay, Boss—err, Big Brother Yun. Count on me. I will see this task to completion!
Ning Lingyu quickly pattered down the stairway, her delicate body twisting gracefully with each skip in her steps. She stopped in front of Ling Yun and asked sweetly, “Big brother, which bedroom on the second floor are you taking?”
“Uh?!” It was Ling Yun’s turn to be caught off-guard. He hadn’t planned on wasn’t staying here until after his graduation!
Ning Lingyu did not care about that. She happily extended her jade-like arms, hugged Ling Yun, and dragged him directly to the second floor.
Ling Yun could only follow Ning Lingyu step by step up the stairway and asked, “Which room will Mum be staying in?”
Ning Lingyu grinned and said, “Mum wants to stay on the first floor. She said that the house is so big that it would feel very unsafe if everyone stayed on the second floor!”
Ling Yun shook his head and explained, “Mum does not need to worry herself over this. The security level of this area is pretty good, and there’s all kinds of emergency facilities. If she is really concerned, we can have two guard dogs...”
Ling Yun noticed that most of the people living in Qingxi Wharf have a few expensive dogs, be it pure breed Tibetan Mastiffs or German Shepherds. However, it seemed like they were not meant for security but more to emphasis certain status.
“Mum doesn’t like dogs. They’re too noisy, remember?” Ning Lingyu raised her eyebrows at Ling Yun as they reached the second floor.
“Uh...” Ling Yun really didn’t remember that.
Ning Lingyu let go of Ling Yun’s arm and beamed, “Let’s go to my room first...”
This mansion was simply too big. The size of the land alone was more than two mu [1.mu is a unit of measurement, 1 mu ~ 667 square meters]. One could only imagine how many rooms there were on the second floor.
There turned out to be only three bedrooms on the second floor. However, each one was at least double the size of Cao Shanshan’s. They had everything that one could wish for. There was even a spa!
The design of the spa was ingenious. The door from the bathroom led to the semi-recessed spa. While it was less than 20 square meters, it was cozy and exquisite. With a television on the wall, one could enjoy a glass of red wine and movie from the spa.
“It is really f*cking extravagant...” Ling Yun could not help but mutter under his breath after entering Ning Lingyu’s room. Who would still be willing to go out and fight for their survival with this kind of life?
However, the thought disappeared without a trace as fast as it had entered his mind.
Ning Lingyu held Ling Yun’s hand throughout the entire tour of her room. A red flush slowly crept up her face for reasons unbeknownst to her. She stood close to him and loosened her grip on Ling Yun’s hand.
After the tour, Ling Yun smiled and walked straight to the bright wide floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the azure sea that was not far away. He turned back to Ning Lingyu. “This place isn’t that bad. Lingyu, do you like it?”
Ning Lingyu delicately bit her lower lip and walked gently to Ling Yun’s side. She linked her arms with Ling Yun once again and gazed at the sea with him. After a short while, she whispered, “Big Brother, I finally understand the meaning of what you said to me the other day.
Indulge only in what you truly desire!
Indeed, once anyone had a taste of this way of life, one would never compete and fight in the world again. It was possible to just enjoy life and the things you wanted to do peacefully.
Ling Yun held Ning Lingyu dearly and smiled gently. “It is great that you understand. In the future, if you have nothing to do, just listen to music, read some books, and watch some movies. If you are tired, just look out to the sea, swim, or do some gardening. It’s wonderful!”
“Yes...” Ning Lingyu seemed to be intoxicated by the Ling Yun’s description of life. Her face was slightly red. It all seemed unreal, like she was living a dream. Ning Lingyu was afraid that she was indeed dreaming and did not want to wake up to reality.
And all of this was only possible because of her brother’s immense changes and his willingness to share everything with her!
Ling Yun was suddenly alerted by the sheer volume of spiritual energy rolling off of Lingyu’s body.
“What happened? Could it be that she is affected by the Dragon Spiritual energy?” Ling Yun started to panic. If that was the case, that mean Lingyu was already...
He carefully observed Lingyu’s blushing face. His beautiful sister’s face turned red once more today.
“Big brother, can you stay in the room beside me? This way, I can... I can learn more from you...” Ning Lingyu finally came up with a seemingly reasonable justification.
Since Ling Yun would not be staying more than a few nights, it did not matter which room he stayed in. “Sure!”
He smiled and told Lingyu, “Lingyu, give me your bank account number. I will transfer some money to you later. Take Mum and go shopping for the next few days for clothes, accessories, makeup, and whatever else you like.”
Ning Lingyu’s face turned an even deeper shade of red. “Isn’t that is too extravagant?”
Ling Yun laughed. “Well, if you don’t want to buy anything, just save the money for your future dowry...”
“Go to hell, I am not marrying anyone! I want to be with Big brother—erm, and Mum forever!”
Ning Lingyu realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly looked away to hide her blush on her beautiful dream-like face.
Just as Ling Yun thought of a response, there was a light cough from outside the bedroom suddenly. Qin Qiuyue’s perfect silhouette appeared at the doorway.
