C99 (1/2)

In the evening, when Leng Lie proposed going to the sofa to sleep, Lady Xu nodded in agreement. Because it was summer, it was getting dark a little late. He had to wait until it was dark before he could turn off the lights. In the dark room, it was hard for one's eyes to adapt.

Leng Lie felt chills down his spine, as if he was still angry over today's events. His innate posture as a king frightened everyone around him. In the Leng Clan, Xu Yanmei and Lu Yanyun, the daughter-in-law, openly and secretly spoke some harsh words that Leng Lie did not take to heart. In the face of these two wicked things, they were both amiable.

It was precisely because of this that the two women were so fearless and felt that Leng Lie was an easy target. Only, they had forgotten Leng Lie's name outside. If Leng Lie were to lose his temper outside, he would simply be the king of hell. His temper was somewhat similar to Leng AoTian's, just that he was hot-tempered and didn't have much patience, especially when it came to people and things he wasn't interested in.

Lady Xu tossed and turned on the bed. He was used to sleeping with Leng Lie, and now that there was no Leng Lie by his side, he felt that it wasn't the case at all. In short, he just wasn't used to it. She stealthily turned over, a slit appearing in her eye sockets as she looked at Leng Lie with a very weak light.

His breathing was steady, and there was nothing to be seen. He must have fallen asleep.

Lady Xu fell into a deep sleep as she watched. After a long while, a pair of eyes opened in the darkness. They were as black as ink, and it was as if the woman not far away was absorbed into his eyes. Leng Lie stood up and sighed before walking towards Lady Xu.

The moment he tiptoed to bed and hugged Lady Xu, he realized that his heart had been filled. If he couldn't hug her, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. Leng Lie first hugged Lady Xu before he closed his eyes. A curve appeared on the corner of his mouth as he slowly entered the land of dreams.

When he woke up in the morning, there was no longer any trace of her cold figure. Looking at the sofa that had been sleeping soundly yesterday, Lady Xu fell into deep thought. The blanket was still there, but where had he gone? Ben had not slept the night before, but because of his fatigue he had fallen asleep slowly.

After falling asleep, he couldn't remember anything at all.

After cleaning up, she went to work. When she came down the hall, she coincidentally met Xu Yanmei and Lu Yanyun and was about to leave.

Xu Yanmei stopped in her tracks. She wanted to quietly go upstairs to hide, but she didn't expect Xu Yanmei to turn around just in time. Seeing her like this, Xu Yanmei made a disdainful smile, ”A timid one really doesn't look like one.”

When Lu Yanyun heard Xu Yanmei's words, she also came back to her senses. When she saw Xu Yanmei, her eyes turned vicious. She wanted to dig a hole in Xu Yanmei's cheek.

”Mom …” ”Your excellency has a lot of resources, so there's no need to bother with these lowly people. Let's just leave. Why waste time on these random people?”

Xu Yanmei agreed, ”True.”

She curled her lips, ”To stand with such a person, I'm afraid of being tainted with bad luck. Let's go, or we'll be late. ”

Lady Xu did not utter a word as she watched the two of them walk away.

When Mrs Liu, who was in the kitchen, heard these sarcastic remarks, she slowly walked out. He held Lady Xu's hand and said, ”Eldest young mistress, this Second Madam and Second Young Madam have a malicious mouth. Don't take it to heart. There's still a long way to go.”

Second Madam?

Lady Xu was momentarily stunned. When she recovered, she understood why Mrs Liu had called Xu Yanmei Second Madam. Indeed, even if Leng Lie's mother had died, she was still the first wife. Although most people didn't call her Second Madam in front of Xu Yanmei, they believed her to be Second Madam in their hearts. Even though Jiu Zun had occupied the nest, he still wanted to fight over the property. He was really thick-skinned.

”Mrs Liu, I know the temperament and character of the two of them. If I were to take it to heart, I would have long jumped off the building and committed suicide.” Xu Jianren grasped Mrs Liu's hand, ”I will be cold and passionate at first. You have been taking care of me. Thank you, Mrs Liu.”

Xu Jiantao was very grateful to Mrs Liu for her kindness. She could not repay her kindness in any way and could only be grateful. If anything happened to Mrs Liu, she would definitely help.

”Eldest Young Mistress, it's good that you're open-minded.” Mrs Liu's face showed sympathy. ”Otherwise …” I was really afraid something might have happened to you. ”

”Mother Liu, don't worry. I'm not a particularly weak person.” Xu Jianren tried her best to comfort Mrs Liu, but she finally calmed her down.

Driving to the company, Xu Jianren had always thought that Mrs Liu was heartbreaking. She had no one to rely on in the Leng Clan. Not only had she been bullied by Xu Yanmei and Lunae, but even her servants had pushed her aside and looked down on her. And Mrs Liu came to comfort him at all times. It could be said that it was all thanks to Mrs Liu that she was able to continue enduring in the Leng Clan.

Towards Mrs Liu's gratitude, Lady Xu never spoke of it to anyone else. Instead, she put it in her heart and waited for the opportunity to arrive before she would return it.

Arriving at the office, Xu Jiadong wondered if Wang Qian Ya had come again. Doubtful, Lady Xu left even faster.

Her footsteps were exceptionally light, and she was curious as to whether Wang Qiya had come or not when she was not around. She was also curious as to what she had done since she had arrived at the office. The crack in the door was big enough for Xu Jiajia to see what was inside.

Lady Xu held her breath and waited patiently. Wang Qian Ya was not on the sofa, her gaze was moving, and she arrived at the cold office.

When she shifted her gaze over, Lady Xu's eyes widened. Wang Qian Ya's eyes were staring at Leng Lie, she wanted nothing more than to take off her clothes and seduce him. Only then did he feel satisfied. Wang Qian Ya was indeed young and pure. Her dimples from her smile should have made people feel cute, but at this moment, the people of the Xu family did not feel that she was cute. Instead, they felt that her eyes were especially hot.
