Chapter 897 - 938: Neither Servile nor Overbearing
Golden Eagle’s reputation was known in the military, specifically among special force troops. Ordinary soldiers, even those in the Flying Hawk Squad, were not aware. Of course, the heads of prominent families knew who Golden Eagle was, aware that he was no longer the same person from the military but had become a more dominant and powerful figure. However, for people like Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling’s mothers, who did not manage foreign affairs within their families, many matters remained unknown to them.
Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling attempting to influence their mother using Golden Eagle’s name was utterly futile.
Zheng Yuling’s mother looked at Li Yifei with disapproval and said, "Don’t think that spending a few days somewhere gives you any status. In our eyes, you’re worthless. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave immediately and never come back, and we won’t make things difficult for you."
Speaking of which, Zheng Yuling took out a check and placed it on the coffee table, "Here’s ten million, enough for you to live comfortably, even to find a top model or a rising star."
Xiao Ling’er’s mother spoke indifferently, "You better make your decision now. We don’t want to go too far. Besides, I must remind you that you dared to hit He Zhenyang and Chen Fangzhou; you’ve already gotten yourself into big trouble. If they decide to pursue this, your life could very well be at risk."
Zheng Yuling looked at the check, her expression turning extremely unsightly, and said, "Mom, what are you implying?"
Zheng Yuling’s mother glanced at her daughter and then at Li Yifei, "I think you both understand what I mean. I’ve done all I can. If your father were here, you know what the consequences would be."
Zheng Yuling opened her mouth, but Li Yifei gently pressed her hand, prompting her to immediately close her mouth. It was a small gesture, but it surprised Zheng Yuling’s mother, as her normally unruly daughter was never this obedient at home. This young man was quite skilled at handling her daughter, and it was no simple feat.
Especially with Xiao Ling’er nearby. Even though the two were best friends, jealousy over a man should have been common, but these two girls together with a man showed no such behavior. It seemed Xiao Ling’er was also quite submissive to this young man.
"Auntie, I know you want Ling’er and Yuling to marry into the He and Chen families, which is quite important for prominent families like yours. Being with Ling’er and Yuling, I’ve disrupted the marriage alliances your families planned with theirs."
