”I know, otherwise I wouldn't be working here for you right now.”

”As long as you're a little self-aware.”

”I don't care …” Xu Jianen shrugged. The one slapping him in the face was Leng Lie, not him. Leng Lie did not care. What did he have to care about?

In the evening, Lady Xu and the Leng family were eating at the table. Honestly speaking, eating at the Leng Clan felt like walking on thin ice. One could mock and ridicule anyone who ate.

Although Leng AoTian did not have a good temper, he was very tolerant.

Xu Yanmei had recently become even stronger than before. Not only did she allow herself to do some menial work, she even allowed herself to do some minutiae now.

It was unknown where Xu Yanmei had gone to learn embroidery from others, but the result was especially ugly. He had no choice but to throw the items to Lady Xu and let her finish all the embroidery on the pattern within a short period of time.

Because she had done a lot of work, she had expended a lot of physical strength. During the meal time, she could make others not notice her and let them not notice her.

If you can eat a good meal in peace, then try your best to eat a few more mouthfuls.

”Beauty …” Leng Ao Tian's voice suddenly sounded out, causing Xu Mei to feel a chill down her spine. Why was she suddenly called out?

Raising his eyes, he looked at his father-in-law with clear eyes.

She asked softly, ”Dad, is there anything you need me to tell you?”

”Are you very busy these days?”

Xu Yanmei's nostrils flared, her black pupils were like knives that kept stabbing at Lady Xu. It was as if as long as Lady Xu talked, the following days would be even more difficult.

”Dad, I'm not busy these days,” she said firmly. What's wrong? ”

Leng Ao Tian looked at her meaningfully. Her resolute face darkened, and she nervously touched her fingernails.

”Let's eat.” After saying that, Xu Jia relaxed. She did not dare to speak to Leng Ao Tian. If one were to say that Leng Lie was an extremely cold person, then Leng Ao Tian was practically an Ice Mountain level character.

At tonight's dinner table, there was only Lady Xu, Leng Lie, Xu Yanmei, and the head of the family, Leng Ao Tian. Leng Yuan and Lu Nianyun had not come back to eat tonight, and did not know what they were doing outside.

Leng Lie sat beside Lady Xu. He could sense her nervousness, but it meant that she was dead. He would not make a move, nor would he make a move.

Lady Xu treated Leng Lie like air and did not talk to him. There was not even a hint of a conversation between the two of them. Xu Yanmei had restrained herself a little tonight because she did not see the good look on Leng AoTian's face today.

”Master, I'll peel the prawns for you.” Without waiting for Leng AoTian to speak, Xu Yanmei sat up by herself.

After the meal, Lady Xu subconsciously prepared to put away the bowl. Xu Yanmei looked over with a look. Lady Xu blinked innocently. Wasn't this her habit? This Xu Yanmei didn't dare to do such a thing.

Leng Ao Tian coughed and then said to Leng Lie: ”You, come to the study room.”

Before Leng Lie left, he cast a cold glance at Lady Xu.

Lady Xu lowered her eyes and did not look directly into Leng Lie's eyes. Every day, she would count down the days in an attempt to break away from Leng Lie.

After Leng Ao Tian and Leng Lie left, Xu Yanmei started to act wildly.

”Lady Xu, if you dare to say anything to Master, I will make it so that you won't be able to live in the Leng Clan for more than a minute.”

Facing the warning, Lady Xu just smiled and said, ”I didn't say anything. What about you? And don't feel guilty about being a thief. ”
