Guide to tame my villainous husbands-Chapter 1377: Hook or Crook (2)

"What?" Mother Ling's head snapped up with a crack. The sound was so loud that even Ling Che winced but he didn't show any signs of concern. His mother had always been calculative with him; this small injury was nothing to her.

"Mother, are you alright?" Elder Sister Ling rushed to see if her mother was alright when she saw that Mother Ling was rubbing the back of her aching neck. When her mother didn't reply, she turned to look at Ling Che and said to him in a reproachful voice, "You are great, Ling Che. Is this how you should be treating your mother?"

"Hah." Ling Che sneered. "I should be the one asking this to you all; is this how you should be treating the one who raised and fed you? I might be the youngest but you cannot deny that I was the one who filled your stomachs and kept you clothed."

"Ling Che!"

"Stop!"

Mother Ling raised her head and looked at her son with an annoyed look. She asked, "What did you mean by that you are already sold? You little slut. I knew that there was something wrong when you climbed up the social ladder so soon. So this was what you were doing! You have thrown our entire family's face on the ground for people to stomp on!"

Mother Ling always thought that there was something wrong with the fact that only Ling Che rose to prominence in their family and his family was left behind.

When Ling Che heard the words of his mother, he didn't feel hurt, if anything; he was amused. He grew up hearing these words; ever since he was taken as a disciple by his master, people had called him by all kinds of names. This was nothing new to him.

Even if the person who was humiliating him was his mother, Ling Che didn't believe that there was anything new about the current situation.

He curled his lips and said, "Sure enough, those who are grown up in dirt will only have dirty thoughts. When I said I sold myself, I meant that I sold my skills. I have signed a contract for thirty years with Miss Mo, which means that I will be working under her for the next thirty years. If the contract fails, then I will have to pay a sum of fifty billion star coins. Can you pay this sum for me, mother?"

As soon as Ling Che finished speaking, Mother Ling was so angry that she nearly fainted. This rebellious son! It was as if he knew that she would push him into a corner and already signed a contract with Mo Qiang.

"You—you have gone mad!" Father Ling couldn't help but yelp when he heard that his son had actually signed a thirty-year contract. "Have you lost your mind? How can you even think of signing a thirty-year contract? Don't you want to get married?"

"Why should I get married?" Ling Che shrugged. "I have both money and comfort in my hands at the moment and I haven't met with a woman with whom I want to spend the rest of my life."

Of course Mo Qiang was an exception but he wasn't going to tell this matter to his family. If anything, he was going to pursue his happiness silently. Even if he was left to stay beside Mo Qiang without a firm title, Ling Che didn't think that there was anything wrong with it.

As long as he was happy, Ling Che didn't care about what the world thought about him. He only wanted to live a good life.

Father Ling was speechless and so was Mother Ling. They came here with such fanfare and now Ling Che was telling them that they could not bring him back.

"Then—then what about the money?" second sister Ling spoke up from the side and everyone turned to look at her.

Ling Che was the only one calm; he said to his family, "The one who took it should be the one worried about it. I didn't take a penny nor did I spend it, so why should I be worried about it?"

After speaking, he motioned for the guards to send Mother Ling and the rest of the Ling family away. However, as soon as the guards motioned for the Ling family to leave, they panicked.

How could this be done? They could not hand the money that they had swallowed.

"No, Ling Che! Since you were the one who refused to marry Miss Xu, you should be the one paying —"

"Hah," Ling Che paused and turned to look at his eldest sister. "It seems like you are still dreaming, dear sister. Do you think it makes sense for me to pay the money back when I neither agree nor know about this deal?"

After speaking, he turned around on his feet and walked inside. He still needed to prepare some nourishing soup for the Mo family.

Mother Ling, who was more or less thrown out of the restaurant, was speechless. She looked at the small yet classy restaurant and stomped her feet like a child. She turned to look at Father Ling and said to him, "Do you see this? This is your good son that you have taught. He is bent on going against me."

Father Ling didn't say anything. He simply lowered his head and sobbed silently. He couldn't understand why his son couldn't understand his problems. He was not trying to hurt him but he also had no choice. Without his wife and daughters, what was he supposed to do?

Mother Ling snorted when she saw her husband crying. She didn't feel sorry for him if anything; she was certain that it was because of Father Ling that Ling Che had become more and more rebellious.

She turned to look at her daughters and said, "What now? What are we supposed to do now?"

"Mother—let's go back and talk with Miss Xu. I think she truly likes Ling Che; she will not give up so easily."

Ling Che wanted them to hand the money back? It was impossible. That mer was going to fulfil this deal either by hook or by crook.
