C154 (1/2)
”Auntie, this is my wife.” Leng Lie pulled Xu Jiaren's hand, allowing him to see it, ”Her name is Xu Jiaren.”
Mrs. Hua rolled her eyes, as if she was concealing something. Last time I heard some rumors, they said that this woman and her mother-in-law were having an unpleasant relationship. But later on, everyone realized that Xu Yanmei was the one who mistreated women.
”Sigh …” The Mrs. Hua sighed and came back to her senses with an embarrassed smile, ”We are back home, let's eat at home.”
”No, thank you, Auntie.” Leng Lie was extremely polite and courteous throughout, ”Let's go first, we'll come again when we have time, Aunt.”
”So it's like that …” Mrs. Hua was startled for a moment, then nodded her head and asked the servant to send Leng Lie and Xu Jiaren out.
When Leng Lie and Xu Jiaren left the room, they only heard the Mrs. Hua sigh, ”That child really wants to see Xiyu. Even Leng Lie doesn't know what he's thinking.”
Hua Hua turned her eyes around and shrugged: ”As long as we can show Brother Leng Lie happiness, who will give us the same?”
Mrs. Hua shook her head and sighed. ”You're still young, I don't understand.”
Hua Hua intimately embraced Mrs. Hua, ”Mom, you don't like that sister?”
”What do you mean like it or not like it? This is just my first time meeting this person.” Your Brother Leng Lie marrying this girl did not have any big fanfare. He was extremely low-key, but that was normal. If I marry your Elder Sister Xi Yu, your Brother Leng Lie would definitely want to announce to the entire world. ”
Hua Hua was speechless, and suddenly secretly felt pain for Xu Jiaren.
He didn't know what kind of relationship the Sister-in-law had towards the Brother Leng Lie, but since they were already married, they should respect marriage. Marriage was not child's play. Although he grew up in a large family, he still hoped to meet a good person.
For the rest of their lives, they would only hold hands. For the rest of their lives, both of them would grow old. In this bustling society, it was not easy to keep up with someone who was an old man. How much did a person have to go through in their marriage to be able to reap the benefits of a person's true love?
Hua Hua thought, and was actually a little confused.
”Leng Lie, that Mrs. Hua is so beautiful.”
”Yes.”
Xu Jiaren, ”...”
It was not easy to say a sentence to try to break the eerie silence in the car, but Leng Lie was unwilling to cooperate. It was annoying to have such a short word.
Just as he was deep in thought, a voice filled with magnetism suddenly came out: ”Do you still want to meet Hua Hua? ”Recently.”
Xu Jiaren nodded: ”Yes.”
He had to strike while it was hot, and it wasn't easy to get closer to Hua Hua. However, because they didn't need to communicate, they couldn't return to their original point.
”Isn't this the way home?” Xu Jiaren looked around and told Leng Lie in panic.
”What are you trying to do?” Leng Lie bellowed, ”I don't know?”
Xu Jiaren said weakly, ”If you aren't going home, then where are you going?”
”Don't mind where I'm going. Just follow me.”
”But …”
”Don't you remember the rules in the agreement? Do you want to take one with you? ”
Agreement...
Xu Jiaren's nose felt slightly sour, her eyes slanted towards the window, but she did not say anything.
The car was parked in front of a bar. People were coming and going, and no one was in sight. They were all rich and powerful people. Xu Jiaren was perturbed in her heart. Looking at the door, it shouldn't be the place where she first met Leng Lie.
Xu Jiaren followed behind, but she was extremely uneasy. The unpleasantness of the past quietly swarmed into her heart. Especially since only Leng Lie and herself could survive in such an environment …
Sitting on a chair at the side, Leng Lie snapped his fingers: ”Give me something that I drink frequently.”
From the waiters here to the owners of this bar, they were all extremely respectful towards Leng Lie. The boss was afraid that his own employees would not know Leng Lie or offend him, so he specially introduced him to the employees at a meeting, along with a picture of him.
Because of this, all the employees knew of Leng Lie. As long as Leng Lie entered, anyone who saw him would have to be respectful to him. Leng Lie was definitely powerful in this part of the city.
The moment he sat down, the waiter ignored the customer who asked for wine. Although he was also a young master, he could not enjoy Leng Lie's treatment.
The waiter respectfully poured some wine for Leng Lie and greeted: ”Young Master Leng, it's been a long time since you've come to our side.”
From today onwards, he felt especially pressured.
This waiter was the one who sent Leng Yuan home last time. If it wasn't for Leng Yuan who didn't remember who sent him home, he would definitely have become a piece of trash.
Xu Jiaren did not speak, under the dazzled lights, the waiter only saw Xu Jiaren as a celebrity or model that the rich man carried around with him.
Leng Lie didn't say a word, he just quietly drank his wine. Xu Jiaren watched as Leng Lie downed cup after cup of wine, staring at the wine at the side and not knowing what to do.
[She was fine just now, yet she went for a drink without a word. Didn't I mess with this man just now?] Xu Jiaren fell into deep thought.
The man beside him drank wine, one cup after another, as if they were all plain water. After drinking a few cups, Leng Lie's expression still did not change.
It was as if the wine was truly plain water. Seeing Leng Lie drink so much, Xu Jiaren felt like vomiting just by smelling the smell of the wine, let alone drinking so much. Astonished at Leng Lie's alcohol tolerance, a trace of worry flashed across his heart.
