Character History[]

In Chinese New Year, Ling and her husband cannot be in Shadyside with the Macks, as they are vacationing in Tuscany.

Ling is first seen in Howling at the Moon Festival, arriving as a surprise guest for the festivities. She appears genuinely happy to see the Macks, as she has not seen them for several years. As Celia blurts out that Bex and Bowie are engaged, Ling removes her coat to reveal that she and her husband are expecting twins. Later Ling joins her mother, Aunt Celia, and Bex in having tea, and catching up. When she advises Bex that planning a wedding can be difficult, as her own took 15 months of preparation, Bex admits she would be content with a simple civil ceremony, much to Mei's amusement, noting she could take care of her parking tickets at the same time. At the end of the evening, Ling begs off the launching of the floating lanterns as she is tired, and as her mother points out, needs to eat and rest for three now. Ham, however, insists on taking a picture of Ling and Mei. After the pair comply, they ask Ham to text them the resulting picture and leave, neither knowing that they now have wet paint (resulting from an incident involving Jonah sneezing into a candle that Ham was covering up) all over the backs of their jackets.
