291: Chapter 291 Controlling Long Lingyin

"No! That's not it!"

"I didn't lose my brother on purpose!"

"And I never thought about harming the Family. Qin Ge, don't you dare talk nonsense!"

"I won't allow you to spread any rumors!"

Long Lingyin's emotions collapsed as she once again contributed ten thousand villain points to Qin Ge.

She always had a mental block in her heart, which was the loss of her younger brother.

Because of that, the Family still hasn't found him even now.

They had completely lost their future heir!

Coincidentally, although the Long Family she belonged to wasn't as powerful as the Magic City Long Family, there were still other direct descendants coveting the position of Family head.

Over the years, if she hadn't become a core disciple of the Bright Moon Sect, providing the Family with an extra layer of protection...

...her father's position as Family head would have long since been rendered a mere figurehead!

She had been working hard to make up for her past mistakes. Since coming down from the mountain, all her acting fees and endorsement money had been used to subsidize the Family.

She gave her all to make up for her mistakes and compensate the Family.

She would never allow anyone to slander her intentions!

And she certainly wouldn't allow Qin Ge to hurt the Family she already felt so guilty toward!

Qin Ge glanced sideways at Long Lingyin, who had rushed up to him. Looking at her faintly visible, proud chest and her increasingly charming, curvaceous figure, he felt more and more that Long Lingyin was a top-tier stunner.

He said nonchalantly, "If you keep acting out, I can't guarantee you'll still see your Family when you go back!"

Long Lingyin's clenched small fists loosened weakly before she could even throw a punch.

She didn't dare to gamble!

And she couldn't afford to!

This guy Qin Ge had an immense background; even the Eldest Young Master of the Yun Family, Yun Mengchuan, had to kneel and beg for mercy.

He could even wipe out the Magic City Long Family.

To destroy her Family would be as easy as turning over his hand!

Qin Ge crushed his cigarette butt, waved at Long Lingyin, and urged, "Sit down and massage my legs!"

Long Lingyin lowered her beautiful eyes and sat aggrievedly by Qin Ge's legs, about to lean over.

Qin Ge patted Long Lingyin's head and rolled his eyes irritably, "I told you to massage my legs, don't get the wrong idea!"

Long Lingyin gritted her teeth with eyes full of resentment, but she had to follow the order and began massaging Qin Ge's legs.

"I heard that even though you lost your brother and he hasn't been found for so many years—most likely he's gone—your parents haven't blamed you in the slightest?"

Qin Ge looked at Long Lingyin, who was massaging his legs with downcast eyes, and said with a smile, "I even heard that when you entered the Bright Moon Sect, your parents didn't use you to seek protection for the Family. Instead, they were worried that practicing martial arts would be too tiring and wanted you to return home?"

"Even after you came down from the mountain and became a star, your parents tried their best to have you turn down the endless scripts. They even visited the set every day to cook home-style meals for you, fearing that eating out wouldn't be nutritious?"

Long Lingyin looked up and bit her lip, "You investigated me?"

Qin Ge nodded, "After all, you are a national goddess in the Dragon Kingdom, on par with Xu Shiyin. You're the ceiling among stars. If I didn't conduct a thorough investigation..."

"...I wouldn't get the information I wanted, would I?"

"I'm just reflecting that your parents are truly quite decent. They don't favor boys over girls. Even after losing their precious only son, instead of resenting you, they were worried you'd feel guilty, so they loved and cherished you even more!"

Long Lingyin clenched her small fists with a heavy heart. Just as Qin Ge said, her parents were the best parents in the world!

But the better her parents treated her, the more guilty she felt.

The more she felt that no matter what, she could never make up for her mistake!

"It's just a pity that your father's personality is too weak; he's just someone who maintains the status quo. Because of your brother's disappearance, the current Long Family is full of undercurrents. Who knows how many other direct descendants are coveting your father's position as Family head!"

"Unfortunately, your father is indecisive and hasn't made any great achievements. The reason he's been able to sit securely as the Family head all these years is entirely because of the Bright Moon Sect behind you and the fact that you've become the Family's cash cow."

"But no matter how much the Bright Moon Sect protects you, in the end, they can't bring actual benefits to your Long Family. At most, they can only keep your Long Family from being targeted by those from the Hidden Sects."

"You know it yourself; the Hidden Sects can't come out right now. Even if they could, they wouldn't spare a glance for your Long Family, would they?"

Long Lingyin frowned and looked at the rambling Qin Ge, saying with disgust, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Qin Ge didn't get angry and went straight to the point, "What I mean is, I can help your father regain his vigor. I can even help him lead the Long Family to become a power as formidable as the Magic City Long Family, or even surpass them, becoming a top-tier major Family in the entire Dragon Kingdom!"

Long Lingyin's furrowed brow relaxed. She looked at Qin Ge and asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"

She didn't doubt the truth of Qin Ge's words at all.

Qin Ge, who could destroy the Magic City Long Family and make the Eldest Young Master of the Yun Province's number one Family, Yun Mengchuan, bow his head, definitely had that ability!

Furthermore, she increasingly felt that her strength was insufficient for her ambitions.

No matter how hard she worked or how much money she raked in within the entertainment industry, there were ultimately limits.

Even if she squeezed her own value to the limit, she could at most bring in tens of millions in annual income for the Family.

It wasn't even possible to reach a hundred million after taxes!

It wasn't that she wasn't famous enough, but for some scripts and endorsements, if one didn't sacrifice something, she would never be able to compete with others—not even some third-tier stars!

"Why do you want to help me? Are you after my body?"

Long Lingyin looked at Qin Ge before her, her moist lips trembling as she said with grief and indignation, "But you've already gotten what you wanted. There's absolutely no need for you to do anything more for me!"

Qin Ge reached out and poked Long Lingyin's soft heart, saying insatiably, "I don't just want your body; I want your heart too!"

"I won't allow you to have any more dealings with Chen Yuan!"

"I won't allow you to keep any other male in your heart besides me!"

Long Lingyin rolled her eyes charmingly, feeling an indescribable mix of emotions as she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have no romantic feelings for Chen Yuan at all!"

"The only connection is that he looks exactly like how my brother would have looked grown up."

Knock, knock—

Just then, a crisp knocking sound came from outside Long Lingyin's residence.

Chen Yuan's voice betrayed his urgency as he hurriedly called out, "Third Senior Sister, open the door! It's me, Chen Yuan!"

"I know, I know it was you who saved me from Qin Ge's hands."

"And I know that back then, it was you who disguised yourself as Qiao Yingzi."

"Third Senior Sister, I have so much to tell you, so much to explain."

"Everything you saw and heard that day wasn't true!"

"It was all a conspiracy and a trap Qin Ge set for me!"

Long Lingyin looked at Qin Ge, wondering in her heart, "That night... was it your trap?"

After all, her identity was also exposed after Qin Ge saw through her disguise as Qiao Yingzi.

It would be perfectly logical for Qin Ge to turn her plan against her and set a trap.

Qin Ge shook his head, "I don't like using protection."
