C155 (1/2)

Wasn't he asking the obvious?

Xu Jiaren pretended to look wronged and said, ”Father, Leng Lie has indeed gone to drink. I have been beside him trying to persuade him, but ….”

If one didn't know their son like their father, it was impossible for Master Leng to not know Leng Lie's temperament. As a father, he was naturally very clear about what exactly Leng Lie was like.

Leng Aotian looked at Leng Lie, ”Bring the young master up, for you to drink like this, what honor does it have?”

”Jiaren, go up and take care of him.”

Xu Jiaren replied: ”Yes.”

After entering the room, Xu Jiaren could not help but slap Leng Lie's face hard. Why was this man so annoying? She became a woman who encouraged her husband to drink.

Her slender hands covered the man's face. Xu Jiaren ruthlessly pinched Leng Lie. This attack was really heavy, not holding back at all.

Leng Lie seemed to have woken up from his stupor. His pitch-black eyes stared wide open as he tried to run away in panic. Leng Lie moved slowly, grabbing onto Xu Jiaren's hand and said dejectedly, ”Don't go.”

Xu Jiaren froze on the spot, her eyes turning slightly red. These words shouldn't be directed at her right?

As tears silently rolled down his face, Leng Lie suddenly rushed forward.

Within the purple gauze curtain, two men and a woman that were overlapping and unable to be released were doing something indescribable.

Before the night had passed, Xu Jiaren's back was facing Leng Lie and her mind was deep in thought. The cerebral cortex was really active, and the only thing that kept turning over and over was not being able to sleep.

Leng Lie, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly. In order to not let himself think about other things, Xu Jiaren got off the bed and used some hot water to wipe off Leng Lie's body. Then, he washed Leng Lie's and his clothes clean. Then he showered and lay back on the bed.

At noon on the second day, Leng Lie slowly opened his eyes. Looking out the window, he saw that the sun had risen so high.

”Xu Jiaren!” Leng Lie shouted, ”Xu Jiaren, Xu Jiaren!”

Looking around, there was no sign of Xu Jiaren. Leng Lie's shouts outside were heard by the passing Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu walked over, ”Eldest Young Master, Young Madam left early in the morning.”

”Where did she go?”

”This Aunt Liu doesn't know.”

”Mn, got it, Aunt Liu.”

Leng Lie returned to his room, looked at his clothes being dried, and fell into deep thought. He was drunk yesterday, so he couldn't remember clearly what happened next. The blanket and pillow on the bed were in a mess. Looking at them made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Sitting on the side of the bed, Leng Lie picked up the phone and called Xu Jiaren.

”Du du …”

Even after calling three times, Leng Lie still could not contact Xu Jiaren. He felt displeased and furious in his heart.

This woman was looking down on him more and more, and now she wasn't even answering the phone, right?

While holding onto hope, he called Hua Hua. Unexpectedly, Hua Hua did not pick up the phone either.

Were these two playing together?

According to Xu Jiaren's character, if she called Hua Hua out, wouldn't they call him? Xu Jiaren and Hua Hua's expenses were all paid for by him, so when the three of them went out to play, the man had to show some gratitude.

It was precisely because Xu Jiaren had stopped at this point that he was allowed to go along. But after today, how could Xu Jiaren, who loved money, have forgotten about it?

After cleaning up, Leng Lie was about to go down to the car while wearing a suit and leather shoes when his father sat in the living room.

”Father.” Leng Lie called out.

”Where are you going?” Leng Aotian half closed his eyes, ”The company doesn't want to go anymore?”

Leng Lie paused, ”Go.”

Just as he was about to walk out expressionlessly, Leng Aotian's words suddenly made him pause in his tracks: ”Don't let anyone affect you.”

Leng Lie smirked, he glanced at Leng Aotian coldly and walked away without turning his head back.

All this while, the relationship between Leng Lie and Leng Aotian had always been especially delicate. Although they were father and son, they rarely spoke. Unless there was something wrong, it was very rare for the two of them to open their mouths.

After Leng Lie left, Leng Aotian sighed deeply. He just wanted his son to not be affected by anyone, even him. Once a person had a weakness, even if it was just one, they could be easily defeated.

Sitting in that position, one couldn't spend too much effort on emotions. He wanted him to understand what he was asking of him.

Leng Aotian's face was abnormally cold, even more so than Leng Lie's face, which made people panic.

A black Rolls-Royce didn't head towards Leng's Group, but was wandering around aimlessly. It was as if he was looking for Xu Jiaren. But, with such a vast sea of people, where would Xu Jiaren be able to stand firm on her feet?
