Chapter 246: Unbelievable
After hearing Liang Fengyi's angry tone, a bitter smile appeared on Zhang Ling's face. Zhang Ling shook her head dejectedly.
"Aunty, if you knew how Ling Yun was seven days ago and how poor he was, you would not come to this conclusion..."
Zhang Ling pulled Liang Fengyi onto the bed next to her. With a look of obsessive worship and fascination, she began to fill Liang Fengyi in on Ling Yun's miraculous story.
"Let me tell you, seven days ago..."
Zhang Ling had always been articulate, and Liang Fengyi quickly became sucked into her story.
Of course, she described the Ling Yun that she saw in her heart. She actually knew very little about Ling Yun, but even this tiny amount of information was incredible. Liang Fengyi's sexy lips parted further and further apart. Her eyes became more and more wild. Finally, she could not even sit still!
"What did you say?! He was over a hundred kilograms just seven days ago? I don't think he is even 45 kilograms now!
"What!? He carried a twenty-five kilogram sandbag and ran more than four kilometers on the track?! And he vomited blood while doing that? What in the world...
"He recited the seven historical texts in one breath?! And he even memorized the whole history textbook?! How is that possible?!
"What!? He single-handedly fought thirty men from Green Dragon? And he wounded them without hurting himself?!
"What?! He brought a man who had a heart attack back to life? And he even cured his illness?! This... this is not even possible!
"Huh? He threw a 190cm guy into the sky like a basketball?! And he caught him...? Are you sure you aren't reading one too many fantasy novels?
"Huh?! What!? Impossible!"
...
Liang Fengyi sprang up in disbelief early in the story. She remembered to be demure at first, covering her small mouth with her hand. As the story progressed, her sexy red lips could no longer hold themselves together. She was thoroughly stunned by Ling Yun's story!
"... Aunty, this is only what I know about Ling Yun. It is really just the tip of the iceberg. As for the reason he suddenly became so rich, I have no idea. But since he suddenly got so much incredible power, I don't think that becoming rich is something strange, is it?"
"You see, isn't Ling Yun just outstanding? How can I possibly be worthy of him?"
Zhang Ling spent about half an hour narrating this story and ended on this sentence. Her love and admiration of Ling Yun shone throughout.
Liang Fengyi was not in a better state than Zhang Ling. She was utterly stunned!
She took a few deep breaths and one whole minute to recover herself.
"Zhang Ling, you cannot lie to Aunty. Is everything you said just now t-true?!"
Zhang Ling had a knowing expression that indicated she knew what Liang Fengyi would ask. She rolled her eyes and said, "As true as the sky!"
Liang Fengyi still found it very hard to believe as she muttered to herself, "No wonder he was so confident about opening a clinic. He has such astonishing medical skill... God, to be able to cure the son of the Provincial Party Secretary?!"
Strange colors flashed through Liang Fengyi's phoenix eyes as bit her lower lip. "I won't believe that such power exists unless I see it with my own eyes! No need for injections, medications and surgery? It that possible even for Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
As one of the more prominent attending physicians of the surgical department in Jiangnan Provincial Hospital, she was most curious about Ling Yun's medical ability. At the same time, she rejected the notion from deep within her subconscious.
Zhang Ling suddenly recalled Ling Yun's words. She smiled mischievously, "Aunty, do you have an illness which makes your period irregular...?"
Liang Fengyi blushed and glared at Zhang Ling. "Nosy little girl! What have been talking about with your Mum instead of studying?! What was my elder sister thinking, telling you this..."
Zhang Ling proudly lifted her chin to the ceiling and disagreed violently. "Aunty, it wasn't my Mum. It was Ling Yun who told me..."
"What?!" Liang Fengyi was stunned.
This is the one minor problem I have. How did Ling Yun diagnose it within such a short period of time?!
"How did he know?" Liang Fengyi could not help asking.
Zhang Ling finally had an idea to gain some leverage. "Aunty, if you promise to not tell my parents about me liking Ling Yun and the fact that he came over today, I will tell you how he knew!"
Liang Fengyi refused. "How can I do that? Honestly, your Mum has already noticed your abnormality over the past few days. She actually asked me to come check on you today. I didn't think she would be right on the mark..."
Zhang Ling was momentarily stunned. "Mum noticed?"
Liang Fengyi used her long index finger and poked Zhang Ling's forehead, her face breaking into a smile. "Silly child, a mother knows her daughter best. You have been acting like a lovestruck fool for the past few days without paying attention to food or water. Did you really think that my sister wouldn't notice?"
Liang Fengyi chuckled into her hand as she continued, "Looking at you now, even I know that you are definitely in love!"
Zhang Ling's bottled-up feelings came gushing out as she pouted her little mouth and raised her chin, "What about it? I am already nineteen years old. Can't I have my own love?
"In any case, he is more outstanding than all of the guys you went on blind dates with. I am only in love with this one guy. Why would it not be acceptable...?"
Liang Fengyi was furious. "You stupid girl, how dare you take this tone with me. I spent so much time taking care of you! Don't think that I won't tear your mouth apart!"
She stretched her right hand out with a fierce look on her face, but instead pinched Zhang Ling's cheeks ever so gently and laughed.
"Tell Aunty truthfully. Did that rascal do anything to you?"
Ling Yun was so brazenly lecherous toward Liang Fengyi. She could never believe that Ling Yun did not touch a single hair of the skimpily dressed Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling brushed away Liang Fengyi's hand, annoyed. "I have already told you. He is is Cao Shanshan's boyfriend. Why would he touch me...?"
Zhang Ling was depressed; she did manage to attract Ling Yun's attention, but he still didn't make any moves on her.
"And you still like him?!" Liang Fengyi felt sorry for Zhang Ling but was angry at the same time. Zhang Ling deserved better.
"There is no one to blame for falling in love..." Zhang Ling sank deeper into her depression.
Liang Fengyi's heart ached for Zhang Ling. She sighed, "Zhang Ling, if you promise me that you will not be distracted from your studies because of Ling Yun, I will promise you to keep this a secret from your Mum."
Zhang Ling looked up with a firm determination in her eyes. Biting her lip, she said, "How could I possibly be distracted from my studies, Ling Yun's sister Ning Lingyu is the first in our class. She will surely be admitted to Yanjing University. Ling Yun declared that he will definitely go to the same university as Ning Lingyu. With his current performance, I am sure that he will be admitted!"
"I know that I will not be able to go to Yanjing University, but I will definitely be admitted to Huaxia Media and Communications University to be in the same city as him!"
Liang Fengyi knew that Huaxia Media and Communications University had always been Zhang Ling's dream university. She knew Zhang Ling's conviction was real. As she ran her hand through Zhang Ling's hair, she tried to persuade Zhang Ling once again, "Aunty believes you! But why go through all the trouble?"
Liang Fengyi had met Cao Shanshan more than once. She knew from Zhang Ling's description of her that Cao Shanshan was the daughter of a rich and influential family in Beijing. It was near impossible for Zhang Ling to vie for a boyfriend against Cao Shanshan.
Liang Fengyi's aura as a "royal sister" didn't come only from her appearance. She was very intellectual, mature and collected. She had her principles and an immovable worldly view. While she was not entirely convinced of Ling Yun's story, she started to think deeply.
Liang Fengyi asked again before Zhang Ling spoke, "But why do I feel that Ling Yun wants to double-dip and be intimate with you as well?"
Liang Fengyi thought back to Ling Yun's lecherous stare at her boobs and started to worry for Zhang Ling. In the first place, Liang Fengyi wore her translucent shirt because she wanted others to look at her.
Thus, she was actually not that concerned when Ling Yun looked at her in that way. She was used to that kind of look when she was in the hospital, in the bar, and everywhere.
Zhang Ling finally interjected, "Oh Aunty, you don't know. Cao Shanshan may not be able to become Ling Yun's girlfriend. She has many competitors who are more beautiful than her as well... Many of them have come looking for Ling Yun at school..."
Thinking back to the day of the waterspout, Lin Menghan, Murong Feixue, Zhuang Meifeng, and Xue Meining had all come to look for Ling Yun. Zhang Ling did not know whether to root for herself or Cao Shanshan anymore.
"What?! More beautiful than Cao Shanshan? And multiple of them?!" Liang Fengyi was stunned once again. She exclaimed, "And they're not from your school?!"
Zhang Ling pouted and slapped the bedsheets. With a complicated look in her eyes, she said, "God knows where these beauties came from to surround him!"
Liang Fengyi glared. Her eyebrows were steeply slanted. Unconvinced, she looked at Zhang Ling and asked, "So many beautiful women? Can they compare with your Aunty?"
Zhang Ling did not notice Liang Fengyi's expression and replied carelessly, "Yes, there are a few of them. Putting the others aside, you must have at least heard of one of them: the Flower of Qingshui, Zhuang Meifeng!"
"What?!"
Liang Fengyi shuddered and exclaimed, finally losing her composure when she heard the name!
