Chapter 140: Unhappy Childhood

What greeted him was the old man’s loud and furious scolding.

It was mixed with the dissuasion of the young woman beside him.

“Motherf *cker, you b*tch, you’ve become really bold now that you’re older, huh?”

“Mr. Ling, President Ling is in a meeting, you can’t go in!”

Two voices entered Lin Bai’s ears at the same time, causing him to frown.

At the same time, Lin Bai was also secretly rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough and he dodged in time.

Otherwise, the old man’s saliva might have directly splattered onto his body.

Although Lin Bai dodged in time and did not touch it at all, it still made him feel extremely disgusted.

What made him even more shocked was that the young woman who was desperately trying to block behind the old man, who looked like a secretary, actually addressed him as...

Mr. Ling?!

‘Could this old man be Ling Xuewei’s father?!’

Lin Bai was shocked as he carefully examined the old man’s face.

He could vaguely see that his facial features were very similar to Ling Xuewei’s. He guessed that it should be Ling Xuewei’s father.

Although Lin Bai had previously dreamed about Ling Xuewei’s childhood experiences, the man’s face in the dream was malevolent and blurry. He did not remember it very clearly, so he could only rely on guesses now.

The old man obviously did not expect that the person who opened the door was not Ling Xuewei. He had actually scolded the wrong person.

He felt uncomfortable for a moment, and then he directly ignored Lin Bai and walked past him.

He went straight to Ling xuewei.

“Wretched girl, I should have beaten you and that slut to death back then! I should have saved you from causing me trouble!”

The old man was aggressive as if he could hit someone at any time.

“I don’t care about what you do, but that b*tch can’t show her face! Publish a statement right now, saying that those rumors on the Internet are all rumors! You don’t have a crazy mother like that!”

The old man slammed the table and ordered.

Ling Xuewei looked at Lin Bai with a face full of embarrassment, her eyes filled with a hint of begging.

She wasn’t begging Lin Bai to help her, but she was begging him to leave as soon as possible so that he wouldn’t continue to watch her make a fool of herself.

Lin Bai understood Ling Xuewei’s gaze, but he didn’t leave immediately.

He quickly used the Divine-Level Human Discernation Technique and looked at the top of the old man’s head.

A translucent text box immediately appeared on top of the old man’s head, and all the words written on it were negative.

“Ling Zu’an, violent, greedy, vicious, without a bottom line.”

There wasn’t a single positive word. It could be seen that this person was rotten to the core.

Lin Bai silently sympathized with Ling Xuewei for a second in his heart.

It was really unfortunate for her to have such a scumbag father.

However, since Ling Xuewei did not ask for help, Lin Bai did not intend to meddle in other people’s business.

He pretended that he did not hear anything and walked out of Ling Xuewei’s office as usual.

He even closed the door very thoughtfully.

The moment the door closed, an earth-shattering roar of an old man erupted from the room, as well as Ling Xuewei’s restrained and cold warning.

However, Lin Bai did not intend to care about these things, nor did he waste his time listening to them. He just took the elevator and went downstairs.

However, he did not know that the various experiences of Ling Xuewei’s past were still lingering in Lin Bai’s mind.

He had clearly tried his best to restrain himself and ordered himself not to think about it anymore.

However, the information seemed to have come to life in his mind. It was completely out of control and occupied his mind over and over again.

Ling Xuewei’s childhood and teenage years were not as glamorous as the online reports.

The online reports about her life were all about her rich family, her learning dance since she was young, and her amazing talent.

But in reality, although the information could not be said to be false, it was not completely true.

It was true that her family was well-off, and it was also true that she had learned dance since she was young but?it was her father’s family that was well-off after he remarried.

She had only started dancing when she was eight years old.

When Ling Xuewei was five years old, her mother, Wei Xinyue, could not stand the domestic violence she was facing and had no choice but to run away from home in order to save her life.

From then on, his father went on blind dates and got married without stopping.

His relatives in the village had introduced him to two or three wives one after another, but they were all either chased away by him, or they despised him for being poor. In any case, they all left in the end.

After that, no one was willing to introduce him to anyone else.

No one in the surrounding villages knew the general situation, and no one was willing to let their daughter live with him.

Thus, Ling Zu’an became a famous bachelor in the villages.

He knew that if he continued to stay in his hometown, he might not be able to get a wife for the rest of his life.

So, he made up his mind and went to the city to work.

Then, for some reason, he hooked up with a divorced woman who was quite well-off.

That woman was more than ten years older than him, and she had a teenage daughter.

However, she was quite well-off because when they divorced, she received a lot of stocks and real estate from her ex-husband, as well as an advertising company.

Ling Zu’an’s sweet words captured the heart of the divorced woman. The two quickly remarried, and Ling Zu’an settled down in the city.

According to his original plan, he wanted Ling Xuewei to stay in the countryside and be taken care of by her grandparents.

He himself would then stay in the city with the divorced woman and live in peace. This way, they did not interfere with each other and did not need to contact each other much. Basically, there was no difference between having a daughter and not having one.

However, God disposed. Not long after he remarried the divorced woman, Ling Xuewei’s grandparents both passed away.

None of the other relatives in the family were willing to take Ling Xuewei in.

Without a choice, Ling Zu’an could only bring Ling Xuewei to the city to attend elementary school.

On the surface, the stepmother treated Ling Xuewei very well. She even often acted like she favored Ling Xuewei in front of outsiders.

However, in reality, she completely treated Ling Xuewei as a punching bag behind her back. If she was not happy, she would hit and scold her.

Ling Xuewei had to be cautious in that kind of family environment. Her personality had even become a little timid for a time.

It was not until a dance lesson in school that the teacher discovered that her body was very soft.

Although she did not have any dance skills, her natural softness made her trump those children who had been learning dance for many years.

When it came to dancing, talent was far more important than hard work.

The teacher could not bear to see someone with great potential being undermined, so he personally went to Ling Xuewei’s father and stepmother and told them that Ling Xuewei was extremely talented in dancing and persuaded them to let Ling Xuewei learn to dance.

Ling Xuewei’s father naturally would not agree.

He even felt that Ling Xuewei’s normal food and clothes were a waste of money, so how could he be willing to spend money to let her learn such additional things?

However, Ling Xuewei’s stepmother agreed.

She pretended to be a loving mother and signed her up for the best dance class in the name of Ling Xuewei’s good interests.
