C66 (1/2)
This time's conversation with Leng AoTian allowed Lady Xu to thoroughly understand the rules of the Wealthy Class family. Her hands were cold as she smiled. It was a smile filled with bitterness.
When Leng Lie heard the sound of footsteps, he hurriedly walked over. When he saw the despondent look on Lady Xu's face, he immediately opened the door of the study to look for Leng Ao Tian.
However, he was hugged by Lady Xu from behind. ”Leng Lie, I have something to tell you.”
Leng Lie turned around with a bad expression on his face. ”What did my father say to you?”
Lady Xu did not say anything, but held Leng Lie's hand as they walked up the building. ”Let's talk upstairs.”
”I've misunderstood you regarding Fan Yunlin. I'm sorry.”
Leng Lie frowned. ”You already know about it?”
”Actually, you don't have to hide it from me.”
”I didn't intentionally hide it from you. I just said it and couldn't change anything. My father used you to threaten me, so I had no choice.”
Lady Xu paused, looking at Leng Lie with a hint of resentment in her eyes. ”Your father is truly terrifying.”
She smiled bitterly. ”How fortunate it was to be able to survive in the ancestral hall.”
Leng Lie's expression changed, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out. Some things couldn't be changed by him, such as his father's temper. It was true that Lady Xu had been with him for a long time, but this fact made him feel apologetic.
”I can't say anything to make you forgive my father, but I want to tell you that in the future, I won't let anyone bully you, including my father.”
The emotions that Lady Xu had been trying so hard to control suddenly broke down. She covered herself with a blanket and broke down crying.
”What did I do wrong? You all want to treat me like this? It's a good thing I'm alive, or else even if I die I won't be able to collect my debt. I've never wanted to argue with these young mistresses about anything, much less think about what I can't get. Why do you want to hurt me? My life is cheap, so I should die, right? ”
Leng Lie stretched out his hand, but froze in mid-air. Currently, Lady Xu was too emotional. She gave him some time to calm down. This was Lady Xu complaining and crying so crazily after that incident. One could only imagine how much she had suppressed herself in the past.
He sat down and took out his cell phone to look at today's stock market.
Lady Xu, who had been covered by a blanket, finally stuck her head out when she felt like she was about to suffocate. Tears streamed down his face as he stole a glance at Leng Lie, who then turned his head to hug Lady Xu.
Unexpectedly, Lady Xu slipped back into the blanket.
Leng Lie held back his laughter and pulled at his blanket. ”Come out quickly, don't be so bored.”
”It won't be boring.” At most, he would just wait a bit before coming out to take a breather.
”Come out, the past is in the past, isn't this what you told me before?” Now tell yourself what it is. ” Leng Lie pulled at Lady Xu's blanket and said, ”Hurry up and come out. Don't hold it in too much.”
Lady Xu, who was under the blanket, rolled her eyes. This matter really made her feel aggrieved.
”What do you want me to do to make you happy?”
”I don't want you to do anything,” said Lady Xu.
”You really don't need me to do anything?”
Lady Xu rolled her eyes. It was useless to be angry at this moment. It had already become a foregone conclusion. Besides, it wasn't as though Leng Lie wasn't fighting for his life. Rather, it was as though fighting for his life was useless.
This matter cannot be blamed on Leng Lie …
Lifting up the blanket, Xu Que's face turned red. In her cold eyes, there was a trace of seduction. Perplexity. Her lips were pink and her face was like a peach blossom. Her black eyes, which had been opened a little, carried a hint of anger. This kind of appearance really made one want to pinch her.
”Ah …” Lady Xu screamed, ”Why are you pinching my face? ”It hurts.”
Leng Lie put on a nonchalant expression. ”I just pinched you, what do you think?”
Lady Xu was depressed. She grudgingly looked at Leng Lie, then, taking advantage of Leng Lie's inattentiveness, she suddenly rushed forward to pinch Leng Lie.
Leng Lie covered the spot where he had been pinched and said, ”Lady Xu, you must be getting bolder now, aren't you?”
”Talking to you in a good manner for a few days, it's as if you want to ascend to heaven?”
Seeing that Leng Lie was about to get angry, Lady Xu immediately gave in. That's right, her relationship with Leng Lie slowly eased up for a few days before she became a little flustered. He couldn't be carefree.
”Let's stop messing around, okay?” Lady Xu spoke pitifully, her cold and fierce finger fiercely tapped on her forehead, ”Weren't you very daring just now? ”I think it's not that you don't have the guts to cause trouble, it's just that you don't want to go and cause trouble.”
Lady Xu was speechless. How could she dare to cause trouble? She didn't want to cause trouble either. It was not easy to live a good life. Living at the bottom was harder than living at any other level. Living was already a very happy thing.
A single cent was not enough to kill a man. Similarly, it was not enough to kill a woman. Aren't you asking for trouble by causing a ruckus with Leng Lie? If he didn't pay next month, who was he going to ask for it from?
”Come, I'll take you out.”
”Where are you bringing me to?”
”If you go, you'll know.”
When he arrived at the piano room, Lady Xu was so excited that her hands were trembling. She stared weirdly at Leng Lie, who appeared very calm.
”Do you like it here?” Leng Lie asked.
