"I know, otherwise I wouldn't be working here for you right now."

"As long as you're a little self-aware."

"I don't care …" Xu Jianen shrugged. The one slapping him in the face was Leng Lie, not him. Leng Lie did not care. What did he have to care about?

In the evening, Lady Xu and the Leng family were eating at the table. Honestly speaking, eating at the Leng Clan felt like walking on thin ice. One could mock and ridicule anyone who ate.

Although Leng AoTian did not have a good temper, he was very tolerant.

Xu Yanmei had recently become even stronger than before. Not only did she allow herself to do some menial work, she even allowed herself to do some minutiae now.

It was unknown where Xu Yanmei had gone to learn embroidery from others, but the result was especially ugly. He had no choice but to throw the items to Lady Xu and let her finish all the embroidery on the pattern within a short period of time.

Because she had done a lot of work, she had expended a lot of physical strength. During the meal time, she could make others not notice her and let them not notice her.

If you can eat a good meal in peace, then try your best to eat a few more mouthfuls.

"Beauty …" Leng Ao Tian's voice suddenly sounded out, causing Xu Mei to feel a chill down her spine. Why was she suddenly called out?

Raising his eyes, he looked at his father-in-law with clear eyes.

She asked softly, "Dad, is there anything you need me to tell you?"

"Are you very busy these days?"

Xu Yanmei's nostrils flared, her black pupils were like knives that kept stabbing at Lady Xu. It was as if as long as Lady Xu talked, the following days would be even more difficult.

"Dad, I'm not busy these days," she said firmly. What's wrong? "

Leng Ao Tian looked at her meaningfully. Her resolute face darkened, and she nervously touched her fingernails.

"Let's eat." After saying that, Xu Jia relaxed. She did not dare to speak to Leng Ao Tian. If one were to say that Leng Lie was an extremely cold person, then Leng Ao Tian was practically an Ice Mountain level character.

At tonight's dinner table, there was only Lady Xu, Leng Lie, Xu Yanmei, and the head of the family, Leng Ao Tian. Leng Yuan and Lu Nianyun had not come back to eat tonight, and did not know what they were doing outside.

Leng Lie sat beside Lady Xu. He could sense her nervousness, but it meant that she was dead. He would not make a move, nor would he make a move.

Lady Xu treated Leng Lie like air and did not talk to him. There was not even a hint of a conversation between the two of them. Xu Yanmei had restrained herself a little tonight because she did not see the good look on Leng AoTian's face today.

"Master, I'll peel the prawns for you." Without waiting for Leng AoTian to speak, Xu Yanmei sat up by herself.

After the meal, Lady Xu subconsciously prepared to put away the bowl. Xu Yanmei looked over with a look. Lady Xu blinked innocently. Wasn't this her habit? This Xu Yanmei didn't dare to do such a thing.

Leng Ao Tian coughed and then said to Leng Lie: "You, come to the study room."

Before Leng Lie left, he cast a cold glance at Lady Xu.

Lady Xu lowered her eyes and did not look directly into Leng Lie's eyes. Every day, she would count down the days in an attempt to break away from Leng Lie.

After Leng Ao Tian and Leng Lie left, Xu Yanmei started to act wildly.

"Lady Xu, if you dare to say anything to Master, I will make it so that you won't be able to live in the Leng Clan for more than a minute."

Facing the warning, Lady Xu just smiled and said, "I didn't say anything. What about you? And don't feel guilty about being a thief. "

After getting up and leaving, Xu Mei went upstairs without looking back, leaving Xu Yanmei winking at him as she chattered on and on.

Inside the study room, the atmosphere was extremely strange. Leng Lie had a straight face without a word, while Leng Ao Tian was looking at Leng Lie with an expression of disappointment.

"Since you've married this girl, then treat her well. Your stepmother has always been a strict and ignorant person. If you don't protect her, that child won't be able to live well at home. "

"Father, what do you want me to do?"

"What do you want me to do? You were the one who brought my wife back, and you didn't protect her properly. Are you still considered my, Leng Ao Tian's, son? "

"She will protect herself."

Leng Ao Tian frowned, with a wave of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground with a thud, and split into three pieces. The tea water was releasing heat, just like Leng Ao Tian's current rage: "Leng Lie, I don't care what you think! In short, if you marry a girl, you will be responsible for her. "

"Dad …"

"Go out."

Leng Ao Tian actually had a fiery temper. He couldn't tolerate others objecting to his actions. Whatever they asked you to do, you would do it.

Leng Lie originally wanted to say something, but Leng Ao Tian stopped him.

There was no helping it, Leng Lie walked out to let Mrs Liu clean the room. What did that woman do? To have her father turn towards her like this?

Lady Xu was peeling the fruit when she heard the familiar footsteps. Her heart quivered and she was about to stand up and walk out.

Leng Lie kicked the door open and pushed Lady Xu down onto the wall. His face was ferocious as he asked her with widened eyes, "What did you tell my father? You came to our house not long ago, and already know how to snitch on us? "

"Are you feeding an unfamiliar weasel?"

Lady Xu frowned, not understanding at all why Leng Lie was acting this way.

Her neck was throbbing painfully, causing Lady Xu to open her mouth with difficulty, "Leng Lie, I have never reported this to your father. Did you listen to someone else? Can you listen to me too? "

His flushed cheeks and pleading eyes did not move Leng Lie at all. Lady Xu was angry and resentful at the same time. "Cold-blooded!"

"Eh …" Just as Lady Xu was about to lose her breath, Leng Lie suddenly let go.

Lady Xu squatted on the ground and gasped for breath, her face and ears flushed red. She gritted her teeth and gritted her teeth. He was extremely angry and fierce, but he couldn't hit or curse. Tears were streaming down her face, and she tried not to make a sound.

"Lady Xu, the only reason why I want to marry you is to anger my woman. Don't forget this."

"Firstly, I have never said anything to your father. Secondly, the person you want to anger has nothing to do with me. Third, can you go out now? " Suppressing her sobs, Lady Xu adjusted herself.

Leng Lie clenched his fists. He did not say that he did not believe Lady Xu, nor did he say that he believed her.

With a straight face and an expressionless face, he said, "At any time, you just have to play your part. "As for other matters, don't provoke me."

With a bang, she slammed the door and left. Only then did Lady Xu burst into tears. He felt a faint pain on his neck. When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he realized that the man's nails had cut his own neck.

Traces of blood seeped out. Lady Xu grimaced. She especially didn't like the smell of blood. A natural sensitive person would be able to quickly disinfect and bandage herself despite the unpleasant smell of the disinfectant box.

Mrs Liu watched Leng Lie leave in a rage, not knowing what had happened. However, looking at the dark expression on her young master's face, she guessed that it might be a bad thing.
