C17 Unfathomable

"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 Jia En shrugged, since the one slapping her face was Leng Lie, not herself. Leng Lie didn't care, what did he have to worry about?

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

Leng Aotian's temper did not seem to be good, but his tolerance was extremely high.

Recently, Xu Yanmei had been working even harder. Not only did she let herself do some menial work, she had also allowed herself to do some minutiae now.

No one knew where Xu Yanmei went to learn embroidery from others, but the things she produced were extremely ugly. She had no choice but to throw the items over to Xu Jiaren and let him finish making all the embroidery on the pattern in a short amount 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.

"Jiaren..." Leng Aotian's voice suddenly came out, causing Xu Jiaren's back to go cold. 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 nose contracted, his black pupils became like a blade as it continuously stabbed at Xu Jiaren. It was as if as long as Xu Jiaren spoke carelessly, the following days would be even more difficult.

Xu Jiaren facepalmed, and spoke with determination: "Dad, I'm not busy these days. What's wrong? "

Leng Aotian looked at Xu Jiaren meaningfully for a moment, before his resolute face sunk. Xu Jiaren nervously touched her fingernails.

"Let's eat." After Leng Aotian said this, he relaxed. She did not dare to speak to Leng Aotian. If one were to say Leng Lie was an extremely ice-cold person, then Leng Aotian was simply an ice-cold person.

At tonight's dining table, only Xu Jiaren, Leng Lie, and the Patriarch of the family remained. Leng Yuan and Lu Niyun did not come back to eat dinner tonight, and it was unknown what they had gone out to do.

Leng Lie sat by Xu Jiaren's side. He could feel Xu Jiaren's nervousness, but even if she died, she would not make a move.

Xu Jiaren treated Leng Lie as air and did not talk to him. There was not even a little bit of communication between the two. Xu Yanmei had restrained herself a little tonight, because she didn't look too good 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 finishing her meal, Xu Jiaren subconsciously prepared to put away her bowl. With a glance, Xu Yanmei blinked her eyes innocently. Isn't this what she was used to? This Xu Yanmei completely didn't dare to do it.

Leng Aotian coughed, then said to Leng Lie: "You, come to the study room."

Before Leng Lie left, he coldly looked at Xu Jiaren.

Xu Jiaren lowered his eyes and did not look straight into Leng Lie's eyes. Every day, she would count down to several days, attempting to break away from Leng Lie.

After Leng Aotian and Leng Lie left, Xu Yanmei started acting wildly.

"Xu Jiaren, if you dare say anything to the old master, I will make it so that you won't be able to pass even a minute in the Leng Family."

Facing the warning, Xu Jiaren merely smiled. "I didn't say anything, what about you? And don't feel guilty about being a thief. "

After getting up and leaving, Xu Jiaren went upstairs without looking back, leaving Xu Yanmei who was winking and saying something.

In the study room, the atmosphere was extremely weird. Leng Lie maintained a straight face and didn't say a word, while Leng Aotian looked at Leng Lie as if he hated him for not being able to meet his expectations.

"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 brought my wife back, so if you don't protect her properly, how can you be considered my, Leng Aotian's, son? "

"She will protect herself."

Leng Aotian frowned, with a wave of his hand, the teacup fell to the ground with a thud, and split into three pieces. The tea was emitting hot water, just like Leng Aotian'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 Aotian's temper was actually quite fiery. He did not allow others to object and told them to do whatever they wanted him to do, so they did not say anything.

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

There was nothing Leng Lie could do, he went out and asked the Aunt Liu to clean the room. What did that woman do? To have her father turn towards her like this?

Xu Jiaren was peeling the fruits when she heard the familiar footsteps. Her heart trembled and she was just about to stand up to walk out.

Leng Lie kicked the door open and smashed Xu Jiaren onto the wall. His expression was sinister as he questioned Xu Jiaren with wide eyes: "What did you say to my father? You came to our house not long ago, and already know how to snitch on us? "

"Are you feeding an unfamiliar weasel?"

Xu Jiaren frowned, she did not understand why Leng Lie would suddenly act like this.

Her neck throbbed painfully, and Xu Jiaren opened her mouth with much difficulty, "Leng Lie, I have never reported this to your father. Did you listen to someone else? Can you listen to me too? "

Her flushed cheeks and pleading eyes could not move Leng Lie at all. Xu Jiaren was angry and resentful at the same time, "Leng Lie!"

"Eh …" Just as Xu Jiaren was about to suffocate, she suddenly let go.

Xu Jiaren squatted on the ground gasping for breath, her face red, she clenched her teeth. She was extremely angry at Leng Lie, but she couldn't hit him or curse him. Tears were streaming down her face, and she tried not to make a sound.

"Xu Jiaren, the only reason why I want to marry you is to anger my woman, don't forget about 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, Xu Jiaren adjusted herself.

Leng Lie gathered his fists, and did not say that he did not believe Xu Jiaren, nor did he say that he believed Xu Jiaren.

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."

Bang! Leng Lie slammed the door and left. Then, he 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, Xu Jiaren grimaced in pain, she especially didn't like the smell of blood. The naturally sensitive person opened the disinfection box. Xu Jiaren endured the unpleasant smell and quickly disinfected and bandaged herself.

Aunt Liu watched as Leng Lie left furiously. He did not know what had happened, but looking at his young master's dark and heavy face, he guessed that it was probably not a good thing.
