Chapter 354: Chapter 347: A Big Mess of Drama (Part 4)
The atmosphere in the living room felt a bit oppressive. Xu Juan, excited upon arrival, had gone to the beauty salon for a facial and even put on makeup. She was planning to impress Leng Liewei this time upon his return, hoping that he might fall back in love with her and bring her into the household. Then, everything in the Leng Family would naturally become hers and Yu Binâs.
But Xu Juan never expected that Leng Liewei had remarried, and to someone around the same age as his sonâa scandalous woman!
Xu Juan looked at Luna with dislike and disgust.
Luna felt the same way towards Xu Juanâan inexplicable dislike for her!
Seeing young Luna nestled in Leng Lieweiâs arms, Xu Juan suddenly felt hopeless about the future.
Previously, because of Xiao Meiâs familyâs matters, she had completely offended Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran. Now, even the path through Leng Liewei had been blocked. Doesnât this mean her and Yu Binâs lives are over?
Thinking about this, Xu Juanâs tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Her crying made everyone present feel awkward.
Leng Liewei spoke, "Why are you crying?"
"Itâs nothing!" Xu Juan said while wiping her tears, casting a tearful glance at Leng Liewei, giving off a subtle vibe of flirtation, "Just seeing brother-in-law reminds me of those romantic things when we were young. Recalling them, I got emotional and really miss those times with you."
After Xu Juan said this, Leng Lieweiâs face immediately changed color. Everyone present except Luna knew about the events of those years. Before Leng Liewei married Xu Juanâs sister, Xu Hua, he had dated Xu Juan. One could say Xu Juan was Leng Lieweiâs first love. However, because Xu Juan fancied the intellectual bookish type, she left Leng Liewei, which gave Xu Hua the chance to meet him, and the two eventually wed.
Now Xu Juan was bringing up those past events in front of Lunaâclearly to disgust her.
Even if Luna wasnât the brightest, she could hear the underlying message in Xu Juanâs words.
Xu Juan was expecting Luna to pick up the conversation, so she could talk about her past relationship with Leng Liewei. Unexpectedly, Luna didnât question further, and Xu Juanâs words were forcibly held back.
Bai Yiran quickly left the living room to help Sister Liu in the kitchen; she didnât want to stay there with these two actors.
After a while, Wang Hai brought Xiao Lang back from kindergarten.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Lang cheerfully rushed in, "Mom, has Grandpa arrived yet? Iâve prepared a gift for Grandpa!"
Bai Yiran took Xiao Lang to Leng Liewei, "Dad, this is Leng Yanlang, Xiao Lang, quickly call Grandpa!"
Xiao Lang politely bowed to Leng Liewei, "Hello Grandpa! I am Xiao Lang! This is the gift I prepared for you!"
Saying this, Xiao Lang cheerfully presented the drawing he made in kindergarten. Although abstract, it clearly depicted a scene of a grandfather and grandson holding hands.
Earlier, while in the study with Leng Yichen, Leng Liewei had been informed that Xiao Lang was an adopted child. Leng Liewei, a man with strong views on bloodline and a mental purity obsession, had doubted Leng Yichen was his son because of Xu Huaâs past betrayal. Even after confirming, he remained indifferent towards Leng Yichen because of Xu Hua.
Now, suddenly, thereâs an adopted child. The Leng Family was neither great philanthropists nor unable to have their own children, so why adopt?
Looking at Xiao Lang, Leng Lieweiâs expression darkened. Xiao Lang, initially happy to offer his drawing, expected Grandpa to accept it and like him. Yet Grandpaâs reaction was nothing but a terrifying glare.
