The Profligate Madam of the Family - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Mother’s Legacy

“Alright, alright, stop arguing, let’s just drink some tea and talk this thing over!” Li Mulan came there with an apron tied around her, looking reasonable and patient.

She glanced at Leng Rongrong with a friendly look. “Rongrong, I am just going to ask a question, don’t get mad. Director Wang seems like an amazing man, and he doesn’t pick newbies as the lead actress. The reason you become the lead actress… could you have possibly made a deal with Director Wang? And your car… you didn’t trade your body with that man for it, right? I do not mean to imply something wrong. It’s just that I don’t want you to get exploited. Honestly, the entertainment industry is very complicated.”

Li Mulan looked very gentle on the surface, but was speaking ugly words.

She was trying to suggest to Leng Guantang that Leng Rongrong was selling her body and humiliating the Leng Family.

As per her, Leng Rongrong got the role because she doled out ‘favours’ to the director. That was how she stole the role that should have been Leng Qingqing’s.

Sure enough, what Li Mulan said sounded reasonable to Leng Guantang.

Hearing the words, Leng Guantang became furious. “Leng Rongrong, did you do anything to humiliate the Leng Family?!”

Leng Rongrong shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “Don’t worry, what I have done has nothing to do with the Leng Family. You are part of the Leng Family, but I am not. Even if there is anyone claiming that I have done something shameful, you guys can walk away unscathed. After all, you have never raised me or educated me personally. I may carry the Leng family name but I have nothing to do with any of you.”

Leng Guantang became speechless and stuttered incoherently.

“Mr. Leng, I am here to take back my mother’s legacy. I heard that my mother used to have a house that she lived in earlier. Can you give back that old house as well as the other things that she left behind?” She looked at Leng Guantang with steady eyes.

Leng Guantang was silent, but Li Mulan’s face changed its color. “What old house? You are mistaken, your mother left you nothing.”

“Leng Rongrong, are you crazy? Your mother died so long ago, what could she have possibly left for you? Even if she did, it’s all gone now.” Leng Qingqing snapped at her.

“Oh? I did what you said, but now you are breaking your promise.”

Leng Rongrong frowned and approached Leng Guantang steadily. “I don’t trust them, but I want to hear from you if my mother left me something or not.”

“Nope, her stuff caught fire and was destroyed.” Leng Guantang replied coldly.

Leng Rongrong blinked and said, “Father, don’t joke with me. You made me marry Mo Linyuan and told me that I could get my mother’s legacy afterwards. Now you are telling me that there is no legacy to claim?”

Leng Rongrong was furious, as the coldness in her eyes was getting frostier.

She did not like the feeling of being lied to.

Her mother, Xu Ci, as far as she knew, did leave many things behind. When her mother married Leng Guantang, he had nothing whilst her mother had a company which eventually became a part of the Leng Enterprise and landed into Leng Guantang’s hands.

Leng Enterprise, technically, belonged to her mother .

Leng Guantang had taken over the company. She had no interest in it. All she needed was whatever her mother had left behind, whether it was a photo, or the house she lived in before or anything else that belonged to her.

After keeping her side of the deal, these people were going back on their word now?!?

“Leng Guantang, tell me the truth, yes or no?”

Leng Rongrong took a step forward furiously. Her fingertips had grasped the cicada-wing thin blade and a lethal look flashed across her eyes.

He had caused her mother’s death and brought home a stepmother for her. After that, he banished her and sent her to live in the countryside. Now he was trying to swallow everything her mother left her?

“What did you just call me? I am your father. How dare you call me by my name?” Leng Guantang looked furious.

“You don’t deserve to be addressed as my father.” Leng Rongrong countered ruthlessly.

Leng Guantang became dumbstruck by the viciousness in her eyes.

Leng Rongrong closed the gap between them and stared at Leng Guantang in an intimidating way. She might be a young girl, but her demeanor was not timid.

Facing Leng Guantang, she showed no fear.

…..

Back at the villa.

Mo Linyuan and Tang Luo reached home and he helped Mo Linyuan get out of the car. The moment they arrived, Beautiful Li and Storm rushed out.

Storm wagged at Mo Linyuan happily.

Mo Linyuan asked Li. “Where is Madam?”

“She came home, but then headed for her father’s home.” Beautiful Li replied.

“Her father’s home?” Mo Linyuan frowned.

Tang Luo paused in his action and asked him. “Master, should we go there and check? The Leng Family don’t like Madam. Will they bully her? If Madam is alone, she may have to suffer some losses.”

“Stop wasting time talking, let’s go now.” Mo Linyuan ordered him and Tang Luo pushed Mo Linyuan back into the car.

Beautiful Li said, “Should I come along?”

“Is this any of your business?” Mo Linyuan glanced at Beautiful Li coldly.

Beautiful Li: “…”

Alright, he was an irrelevant man who was only supposed to cook food and do house chores for them.

As Mo Linyuan arrived at the Leng Family’s house, the situation seemed to be in a mess.

Leng Rongrong was surrounded by a group of bodyguards. Leng Guantang and Li Mulan were fretting around their injured daughter, Leng Qingqing.

Leng Qingqing had just got a small scratch on her neck, but she was sobbing grievously.

“I told you to give me my stuff. I have nothing else to say to you. ”

Leng Rongrong looked furious. She thrashed all the bodyguards and revealed three sharp blades between her fingers. The blades were dazzling against the light, cold and twinkling.

She tilted her neck and said grimly, “It is so annoying to talk sense with you. I should not have even bothered. You have seen how sharp my blades are. One wrong move and I will cut your artery!”

“Leng Rongrong, are you trying to kill us?” Leng Guantang went mad with anger.

He was a man who enjoyed a high status, but he could not even suppress a young girl. He felt an acute sense of humiliation.

“I am not a killer. I just want my mother’s things, don’t you get it? I need my mother’s legacy!” Leng Rongrong enunciated each word.

“If she wants her mother’s legacy…” A powerful voice arose at this moment.

Tang Luo and Mo Linyuan entered the Leng Family’s house.

“…better give it to her.” Mo Linyuan threw a sharp look at Leng Guantang. “Long time no see, Mr. Leng.”

Leng Guantang’s heart skipped a beat.

When he caught sight of Mo Linyuan’s eyes, he felt a sense of dread creeping over his heart.

Didn’t they say that this man had become a waste?

Why did he still look as sharp as he used to, when he was in power?
