Xu Nana couldn't stop crying. She cried until her face and nose were red. How could she have known that? She thought her mother wanted her to hook it. Where did he find his brother-in-law? He didn't expect it to be like this.
But... His brother-in-law was so good-looking, he wanted to own one as well. Even a crying woman like her sister could be liked by Leng Lie, so why couldn't she be liked?
”In the end, your sister is your sister. You can't be so kind!” Liu Xuemei poked Xu Nana's forehead to warn her, ”Your sister finally married a rich person, so you shouldn't join in on the fun. If you want to marry a rich person, you need to rely on your sister to properly talk about it in front of your brother-in-law. ”
Liu Xuemei thought of Leng Lie's pair of displeased eyes and knew that Leng Lie did not like the people in his house at all. The environment here wasn't good, and he was a person who liked to gamble. This made the Fu family not dislike the beauty that was already considered good.
If he were to ask about a marriage now, he didn't know if his eldest daughter would be able to settle it. Liu Xuemei was worried. She had thought of a plan in her mind.
Seeing that Liu Xuemei did not say anything, Xu Nana thought that what she just said had made her mother unhappy. The reason he was able to eat, drink, and have fun in this house was all because of his mother. No matter who he offended, he wouldn't be able to offend his mother.
She tried to curry favor with him, ”Mom … If my sister can introduce me to a rich man as a boyfriend, I will certainly come up with money to properly filial piety. ”I wouldn't be like my sister, unwilling to part with some money.”
Xu Nana slightly insulted Lady Xu, she originally wanted her mother to take care of her a bit more.
Liu Xuemei nodded, but she didn't quite agree with what Xu Nana had said. As time went by, she understood that the treatment fee and the debt she owed should have been paid by her eldest daughter. This was also the reason why Mei Juan was so excited when he went to look for her.
Liu Xuemei had admitted that she had been biased against her two daughters. However, she still didn't want to see her daughter being wronged.
Xu Nana had taken a liking to the cold and fierce handsomeness of this man, but his mother had rejected it. Thus, it was good for her to retreat and beg for the next best thing. As long as his sister could connect him with a rich man, she would be very happy.
At that time, whatever you want, you don't care if you have money in your pocket. She no longer had to endure the noise from here, nor the heat of not being able to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, much less these filthy, dirty, lowly people.
In Xu Nana's eyes, anyone could see her ambition.
When Lady Xu returned to the Leng Clan, she happened to meet the entire Leng Clan at the dining table. Embarrassed, she lowered her head to greet Leng Ao Tian and Xu Yanmei.
Leng Ao Tian lightly invited Lady Xu to sit down and eat, while Xu Yanmei lightly snorted, ”It's been so many days, and I haven't even told you where I've been. If anything happens to you, outsiders will blame your father and me. ”
Xu Yanmei obviously wanted to pin down her hat on Lady Xu's head. Everyone present could hear the meaning behind her words. She wanted to criticize Lady Xu for not showing such arrogance in her father-in-law's eyes and his mother-in-law. Without etiquette, she didn't look like a lady at all.
Leng Yuan could tell that his mother wanted to make things difficult for Lady Xu. When he saw the wronged look on her face, he looked at his mother and was about to speak up to help her.
Leng Lie embraced Lady Xu, his intention to protect was clear.
”Mother, you don't need to report where the beauty is going to be with mother or you. As for the rest, I think it's better if you don't trouble yourself.” The meaning was obvious. If Lady Xu does not belong to you, then I, Leng Lie, will be in charge. She only needs to inform me.
Xu Yanmei unhappily stretched her face, ”Lie'er, what are you saying? As a mother-in-law, what's wrong with caring about where your daughter-in-law has gone to? ”
With a ”pa”, Leng Ao Tian smashed down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Yanmei in annoyance, ”Do you still want to eat?”
Xu Yanmei's eyes were watery as her charming face revealed a fawning expression, ”Master, I just wanted my daughter-in-law to know some etiquette.”
Leng AoTian did not enjoy Xu Yanmei's flattery and coquettish actions at all.
Lu Nianyun bit his lips, wondering why this coldness had begun to protect her. In the past, he didn't care about it at all. Now that he was protecting it, what was it all about?
Was there some kind of variable between the two of them?
”Father, if there is nothing else, I will bring Lady Xu first.”
”Go.” Leng AoTian said in an indifferent tone: ”Wait a moment, come to my study room. It's cold.”
”Alright.” Leng Lie halted his steps and continued to hold Lady Xu's hand.
After arriving at the room, she wanted to let go of Leng Lie's hands, but was fiercely hugged by him. She did not move. She did not understand what was going on with Leng Lie.
”You're still angry about Wang Qian Ya?”
”I'm not angry.”
”Lady Xu, look into my eyes.”
”I don't want to see …” Lady Xu hesitated.
Leng Lie sighed. It seemed that he needed to have a good talk with Lady Xu.
”I have never placed that woman in my eyes. Now she had been dismissed. Wang Kang is her uncle and is now demoted by me because he opened the back door for his niece. ”
Xu Que was taken aback. This was the first time Leng Lie explained things to her. In the past, even if he misunderstood her, he would never ask about it, much less ask for an explanation.
