Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Jin Lin got up quite early and was preparing breakfast when she faintly heard the voices of the two people inside the room. She felt embarrassed but also envious of the young couple.

If she had lived 20 years earlier, she might have ended up like this instead of being completely busy with work, only to come home to a cold dining table and her phone, with no one to talk to.

Ever since she rejected Liu Zhe and refused to be with other men, Liu Zhe's attitude towards her has turned cold. If it weren't for Liu Hao, the two of them might have divorced long ago, since she and Liu Hao have no relationship whatsoever.

Chapter 68 Qi Jingjing's Plan

By 11 o'clock, Jin Lin had already gone to work.

She had already thoughtfully prepared the meal, and Ling Yun and Zhang Caiwei arrived at the restaurant.

After the two finished their meal, they went to see Liu Hao before leaving.

"Hey, Mouse, we're leaving. Are you still sleeping?"

"Hmm?" Liu Hao stretched and let out a groan that sounded inhuman before smacking his lips a few times. "You guys go ahead, I'm going to sleep a little longer, I'm too tired."

Ling Yun shook his head. If this was tiring, wouldn't he be exhausted to death? He took Zhang Caiwei's hand and went out the door.

The two walked outside the residential area, where Ling Yaxuan was already waiting. Upon seeing them, she politely greeted them as "Boss and Boss's Wife," making Zhang Caiwei's ears turn slightly red.

"Where's the other sister from last time?" Zhang Caiwei glanced around and, not seeing the handsome sister in the passenger seat, asked curiously.

“She and her third sister are busy,” Ling Yaxuan replied.

"By the way, I haven't paid much attention to that Zhao Qian these past two days. What's wrong with him?"

"He has joined Yao Haihong's company as a... security guard."

"Security guard? Why not bodyguard?"

"Boss, not all rich people hire bodyguards. The capital is so safe, why waste money on guards? They could just eat and drink whatever they want with that money."

Ling Yun glanced at Zhang Caiwei, who was hugging him. There were some things he couldn't say outright, so he could only say to Ling Yaxuan first: "You can just let one of them come with you. It's not worth wasting two people."

"Okay, boss."

Zhang Caiwei obediently didn't ask any questions, which saved Ling Yun a lot of trouble. If it were Qi Jingjing, he would have asked her more questions.

When they arrived at the school, before they could even separate, a girl came bounding over.

"Ah, you are Zhang Caiwei?"

Qi Jingjing had intended to throw herself into Ling Yun's arms, but she froze when she saw Zhang Caiwei. Although this girl wasn't as famous as her, she was still a goddess-level beauty in the business school, and Qi Jingjing had naturally seen her before.

"Hello, Sister Jingjing." Zhang Caiwei released her hand from Ling Yun's and greeted her softly.

Qi Jingjing understood immediately, and finally bumped into Ling Yun's arms, whispering, "Such a beautiful girl, you're lucky!"

Seeing that Qi Jingjing wasn't as angry as she had imagined, Zhang Caiwei, who had been a little uneasy, breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them gradually started chatting, and Ling Yun simply put his arm around one of them and led them into the teaching building.

The male students they encountered along the way were insanely jealous, and the way they looked at Ling Yun was as if they wished he would die on the spot.

The goddesses they dared not even glance at, he had one in each hand! Comparison is the thief of joy!

After Lingyun arrived in class, she quickly became the center of attention again.

The other two roommates, Zhang Zihao and Wang Qiang, were also there, sitting in the last row. Both of them stared at Ling Yun with resentful eyes. Wang Qiang was surprised that Ling Yun had actually stolen Liu Hao's girlfriend, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied with him. Zhang Zihao, on the other hand, simply felt that he and Ling Yun were drifting further and further apart.

He has two girlfriends now, will he still want me?

After class, Wang Qiang couldn't resist and went to Ling Yun's side, calling him out alone.

"Ling Yun, how can you and Zhang Caiwei do this to Liu Hao?"

Wang Qiang was tall and strong. Although he didn't look as sturdy as Ling Yun, he had a large frame and a fierce appearance. He could easily scare children to tears if he went out at night.

"This is a bit inconvenient to talk about. I can only tell you that Zhang Caiwei and Liu Hao are actually just a couple in name only, to appease his mother."

"What?"

Ling Yun patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to betray our friends, you can rest assured."

"I'm a little worried," Wang Qiang muttered, scratching his head. "What if you, with your good looks, steal my girlfriend away too?"

Ling Yun thought of his girlfriend, who was even more masculine than himself, and shook his head like a rattle drum: "Brother Wang, please keep a close eye on your girlfriend. I suggest that I don't see her anymore."

"I wouldn't dare take it out, lest you set your sights on it!"

After realizing that Ling Yun wasn't lying, he took his phone and walked away.

Ling Yun felt a chill. Luckily, his sexual orientation and aesthetic sense were both on point. Otherwise, if he woke up one day and saw the girlfriend he had found, it would be terrifying!

Back in the classroom, he saw Qi Jingjing chatting with someone, typing on her phone with both hands, a sweet smile on her face.

"Who?"

Ling Yun wanted to go over and take a look, but saw Qi Jingjing quickly turn off the screen, her face showing panic.

Ling Yun immediately had a bad feeling and grabbed her phone, but she quickly stood up and tried to snatch it back.

"Qi Jingjing!" Ling Yun suppressed his anger, not wanting his classmate to see his rage.

"He's talking to my mom, you can't watch!"

When he wasn't looking, Qi Jingjing took his phone, covered the chat content with her hand, and showed him her chat interface with Meiya.

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide anything from you... It's just, it's a little secret between me and my mom that you can't see now, but you'll find out later!"

Qi Jingjing clung to his arm and acted coquettishly. Ling Yun, realizing he had misunderstood, took the opportunity to back down and sat there as if nothing had happened.

【My dear master, don't worry, they would never betray us!】

"But I always have doubts, Xiaona, is this some kind of illness?"

[It's because you lack a sense of security, perhaps related to the absence of your father during your childhood. Su Qingya is also very busy, so your personality didn't develop overnight. But don't worry, your Xiao Na will always be by your side!]

Xiao Na's words offered him some comfort. He hugged Qi Jingjing and whispered to her, "I'm sorry, I was too sensitive just now."

"Hehe, that means you care about me!" Qi Jingjing wasn't angry. She kissed him on the cheek. "I've heard that many men have affairs outside and don't care about the women at home at all. They're all so miserable. But even though you're also a womanizer, you're very good to us and very caring. I'm very satisfied! Don't be like my dad, who doesn't care about his family at all."

Qi Jingjing spoke the last sentence with some unease, because she knew the reason for the rift in her parents' relationship, but she was still somewhat dissatisfied with Qi Yuan's performance.

Chapter 69 Second Authentication

When the teacher arrived, the students in the class quieted down a bit and stopped making noise.

After a long lecture, she walked straight to Ling Yun, who was about to leave with Qi Jingjing, and said with a gentle smile, "Ling Yun, come with me for a moment, I have something to say."

Qi Jingjing glanced at Ling Yun, then obediently nodded and said, "I'm going back now. Oh, and don't forget!"

"What don't you remember? Of course, it's going to her house tonight." Ling Yun smiled knowingly, then turned and followed Zhao Yingxuan to a secluded corner outside.

"Lingyun, your aunt has told me about your situation." Zhao Yingxuan wore a high ponytail today, which made her look more playful.

When she was alone with Ling Yun at close range, she found the young man opposite her to be unexpectedly handsome, and she felt a desire to get closer to him.

"Your aunt?"

"It's Principal Fu."

"Ah, you're Xuehui's niece?" Ling Yun was quite surprised. He really didn't know this, since neither of the two women had told him.

“Lingyun, with your status, you certainly don’t need to study hard, and your future is limitless, whether you go into business or... However, I don’t want you to waste your talent like this.”

Zhao Yingxuan was teaching him entirely from a teacher's perspective. Although she felt pressured after learning Ling Yun's identity, she has now calmed down and is ready to bring the "misguided" boy back on the right track.

“Teacher Zhao, I really don’t have much interest in studying.” Ling Yun spread his hands. “After all, I have other things to do on weekdays, and school is just a formality for me.”

"But you can't let Xuehui and Qingya down, can you? If they heard you say that, wouldn't they be sad?"

"Don't worry, Teacher Zhao, I will finish my studies. At least I won't skip classes anymore."

"You..." Zhao Yingxuan was angered by his attitude, and her face slowly flushed. "Ling Yun, do you know how many students repeat their studies for years just to get into the Capital University? But you got in here in one step, wasting such a good opportunity! Also, when I'm teaching, you always stare at me, but you don't even look at your book. Did you listen to a single word of what I was saying?"

Lingyun really didn't like studying, but there were too few teachers as dedicated as him in university. The teachers at school would run off as soon as get out of class ended, leaving even faster than the students.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with his identity.

"Teacher Zhao, actually this is your fault too."

"It's my fault?" Zhao Yingxuan was taken aback by his words and was speechless for a moment.

"Teacher Zhao, you're so beautiful! I want to study hard, but my attention is completely drawn to you!"

"You're talking nonsense! Why didn't the other students do that?"

"That's because they're blind; they don't know how to appreciate beautiful scenery."

Zhao Yingxuan finally understood. It turned out that Ling Yun was flirting with her. She kicked him lightly, annoyed, and said, "You have such a handsome face, yet you always do these lecherous things!"

"Could I interpret this as Teacher Zhao praising my looks?"

"Dream on!" Zhao Yingxuan, holding her books, rolled her eyes and looked up at him. "Starting today, I'll be calling on you to answer questions from time to time. If you can't answer them, and your final exam score is less than 80, you'll definitely fail!"

"No way, people with a score of 50+ on the written exam can still pass!"

"I don't care!" Zhao Yingxuan snorted and turned to leave.

Watching her graceful figure from behind, Ling Yun stroked his chin. This teacher, Ms. Zhao, was 30 years old this year, but she probably hadn't experienced much of the harsh realities of society. She had been teaching since graduation, so she didn't have the world-weariness of some people. Instead, she was still like a student, with a rather simple mind.

After leaving the school and getting on the bus, they discovered that Ling Ruoxue was also there, leaving only Ling Mengxi still staring at Zhao Qian.

"Boss, how did you manage to win over that lady without saying a word?!"

Ling Ruoxue sat with him in the back seat and boldly hugged his arm: "Boss, are you free tonight to give me a certification too? My abilities are very useful!"

"Tonight? I think I'll be very busy tonight," Ling Yun chuckled.

"Then...and what about now?"

Ling Ruoxue moved closer to him.

Ling Yaxuan, sitting in the front, said, "Boss, the car windows are all tinted with privacy film, so people outside can't see inside. It takes 20 minutes to get to the boss's wife's house from here. I'll drive slowly, that should be enough time for you to get Second Sister's certification."

"Is it good, boss?" Ling Ruoxue blinked, looking at him expectantly.

Ling Yun chuckled, but since he had already certified Ling Yaxuan, there was no need to linger any longer.

Purple light filled the entire car, and Ling Ruoxue was successfully verified.

The car stopped right in front of Qi Jingjing's house, 35 minutes later.

Chapter 70 Substituting one thing for another

[Ding ding! Congratulations to the master for certifying the second person in black - Ling Ruoxue. Her special ability is "psychic suggestion," which allows her to subconsciously give suggestions to others, and her ability is influenced by the strength of the other person's willpower.]

Mind suggestion? This ability is quite interesting. It could be used to break down someone's psychological defenses directly, thereby achieving one's own goals.

Moreover, a person's cognition or thoughts can be gradually modified through long-term suggestion!

Fortunately, it was an ability belonging to one of their own. If it had belonged to some "protagonist," Ling Yun would have definitely killed them outright; who knows what someone with that ability might do? However, he could also use the black-clad man's ability, which was equivalent to having an extra ability in disguise.

He turned around and waved to Ling Yaxuan, while Ling Ruoxue in the back seat was busy cleaning the back seat.

He straightened his clothes, and when he felt he was ready, he pressed the doorbell of Qi Jingjing's house.

"Who?"

"Jingjing, it's me."

The door opened, and Qi Jingjing hugged him tightly, pouting, "Why are you so late!"

"Teacher Zhao chatted with me for a while, and then there was some traffic on the way here."

"What did you talk about?"

"Don't tell you."

"Hmph, fine, I won't talk then!"

Qi Jingjing pouted, and Ling Yun pecked her twice, which made her smile again. She then pulled Ling Yun into the house.

Since finishing preparing the meals yesterday, Maya seemed to have a breakthrough. Although she didn't have the skills of a professional chef, at least the food was edible. Plus, she was happy to be busy for her beloved daughter and Lingyun, and didn't feel it was a chore.

Thinking about what would happen that night, Maya couldn't wait.

But she remained calm, and after bringing the food over, she sat down next to Ling Yun with a smile: "Try it, it should be good this time too!"

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

Ling Yun enjoyed the meal. After finishing, while the two women were cleaning up the dishes, he went back to Qi Jingjing's room to take a shower.
