Lisa moved very quickly, and within 10 minutes of Ling Xiao's order being given, a delicious meal was delivered to the president's office.

Lingtang looked at the meal on the table, and then at her brother who was sitting opposite her and was thinking deeply, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ling Xiao withdrew his thoughts, looked at Ling Tang who was holding chopsticks but refused to move across from him, and frowned, "What, the food is not to your liking?"

Ling Tang quickly shook his head and denied it, "No... no!"

Seeing her blushing face, Ling Xiao seemed to realize something and stood up, "You eat slowly, I have a file to deal with."

Seeing him leaving, Lingtang breathed a sigh of relief and put down her chopsticks. She had been staring at the piece of sweet and sour pork for a long time!

Lingtang did not expect that after being captured by her brother, he had no intention of blaming her.

This surprised her. After all, this brother had always been tepid towards her since she had memories.

And how did he know that she didn't like cake?

The Ling Group's work meals are quite good. Although they can't compare with those cooked by the chef at home, they are still much more delicious than those in the school cafeteria.

Lingtang almost emptied the food. When Lisa came to collect the lunch box, she expressed shock at how much she ate.

Of course, this shock was not expressed in front of her, but Lingtang still caught the change in Lisa's expression.

Ling Tang looked in the direction of Ling Xiao and saw him sitting at his desk with a document in his hand.

From Lingtang's angle, he could see his almost perfect profile.

Her brother is handsome, young and promising, and is a man that many socialites in F City are flocking to.

But he just likes Qin Shuya! After they got together, they hurt others wantonly, which made Qin Shuya heartbroken!

Now that the two of them see each other again, they are already very close.

There are many regrets in life. Thinking of what happened between him and Qin Shuya, Lingtang thought of Shen Peizhi again.

She took out her mobile phone. There were still no missed calls and no unread messages on WeChat.

At this moment, he should be with that girl.

Thinking of the scene of him holding that girl today, Ling Tang's heart was instantly tightened, and he felt a suffocation.

The pain in her heart was like being stabbed hard by a sharp, dull knife, making her almost unbearable.

"Has the Attorney General reviewed this document?"

The sound in her ears brought Ling Tang back to her senses. She looked towards the source of the sound. Lisa walked in at some point and stood beside Ling Xiao.

Lisa confirmed the document in Ling Xiao's hand and nodded, "It has been reviewed and there are no problems."

Ling Xiao closed the document in his hand and glanced at Ling Tang, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, "Okay, let's call Si Lu over and let him come in in 5 minutes."

Lisa seemed to realize something and followed the boss's gaze. Looking at the little girl on the sofa, she felt a little distressed for no reason.

If she knew the bad news about her parents...

The boss's cough sounded in her ears. Lisa came to her senses, understood what the boss meant, and quickly left the office.

Now, they are the only two brothers and sisters left in the office.

Ling Xiao stood up suddenly, picked up the document, and strode to Ling Tang with a solemn expression, "Next, you must listen carefully to what I am going to say."

Such a tone startled Ling Tang. She looked at Ling Xiao in a panic, "What's going on?"

When he said this, Ling Xiao's expression was calm, but there was heavy sadness hidden in his eyes, "My father and your mother died on Mount Everest."

This was undoubtedly a thunderbolt, and her chest seemed to be filled with cold ice spikes in an instant, making Lingtang unable to breathe.

Almost subconsciously, Lingtang stood up and looked at his brother in disbelief, "No way, you are lying to me!"

A girl needs to accept the fact that her parents are dead in an instant. Ling Xiao knows that this is very harsh for Ling Tang.

However, Ling Xiao had no time to comfort her because he had more important things to do!

His voice was cold and his words were straightforward, "I don't have time to lie to you! Their bodies have been brought back, and the memorial service will be tomorrow."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and the pain was like a merciless snake coiling in her chest.

"impossible!"

Ling Tang fell weakly on the sofa, his hands clenched into fists.

Tears fell one by one and fell on the black leather sofa. She thought of the last video her mother sent her.

In the video, my mother smiled happily and said, "Tangtang, your father and I are going to challenge the summit of Mount Everest today. Come and cheer for us!"

Thinking of her mother's smiling face in the video, she covered her ears in pain, and everything around her seemed to be quiet.

How did they get into trouble?

Ling Xiao's hand covered her shoulder, and the temperature on her shoulder was a bit cold.

He didn't know how to comfort his sister. Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing her in such pain made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Lingtang, you have to remember your identity. You are the daughter of the Ling family. You still have a lot to do."

"Others can cry, but you can't."

He held his hands tightly on her shoulders and ordered in a deep voice, "You still have 2 minutes to adjust yourself."

Lisa stood outside the door, listening to the crying coming from inside, and sighed softly.

Si Luze, who was standing next to her, looked at her helplessly and whispered, "Children are still difficult to coax. Mr. Ling is going to have a big head now."

Lisa didn't answer his words, she just raised her wrist, looked at the time, and said solemnly, "Wait another 3 minutes, and you can go in."

Si Lu nodded and sighed secretly. This time he was short on time and had heavy tasks. Whether he could retain Mr. Ling's position as chairman would depend on the little girl inside.

Until Lisa knocked on the door, Lingtang couldn't digest the bad news.

She was still covering her ears, refusing to listen to anything Ling Xiao said.

Ling Xiao forcefully pulled her hand away, holding her shoulders with both hands, his voice cold and biting, "Ling Tang, you don't have time anymore, wipe away your tears, otherwise we will all lose."

His expression was terrifying, and Ling Tang was obviously frightened.

He let go of her shoulders, took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket, threw it to her, and said coolly, "Wipe your tears and cheer up!"

Lingtang picked up the handkerchief, obeyed his words meekly, and dullly wiped the tears from his face.

She didn't understand why he was so calm and composed, without any trace of grief, even though they were his parents.

Is he born so cold-blooded?

After watching Ling Tang tidy up, Ling Xiao sat down opposite her, everything was ready.

Lisa's voice knocked on the door again, and Ling Xiao didn't hesitate at all this time, "Come in!"
