The Profligate Madam of the Family - Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Her Unfathomable Background
When they returned home, Beautiful Li was waiting for them.
Despite being a bodybuilder with a strong physique, he was very good at cooking, especially braised pork with preserved vegetables. It was his speciality!
Leng Rongrong could smell the aroma the moment she entered the house.
“Beautiful, did you make something tasty?”
Leng Rongrong looked very excited, like an innocent child. She seemed totally different from the person who had confronted the Leng Family aggressively sometime ago.
Tang Luo helped Mo Linyuan into the house but his eyes were fixed upon Leng Rongrong. Mo Linyuan was still trying to figure the woman out.
Was this woman really not sent by the Mo Family?
Well, the Mo Family were not capable of controlling such a wild woman, and she did not seem to be someone who needed money. Her net worth seemed to be as much as that of the entire Mo Family.
So, was it just a coincidence that he ended up marrying such an interesting wife?
Someone who could protect him and was willing to spend money on him, and more importantly, help him stand up on his feet again?
Very interesting.
Tang Luo followed Mo Linyuan’s gaze and asked him. “Madam doesn’t seem to be someone from the countryside!”
“Has the investigation been completed?” Mo Linyuan looked up.
“Let me check.” Tang Luo said.
Leng Rongrong stole a rib bone from the kitchen and came to Mo Linyuan with a piece of meat in her hand. “Open your mouth!”
Mo Linyuan kept his lips sealed as he looked at Leng Rongrong holding the meat with her bare fingers.
This woman was not using chopsticks!
“I washed my hands, they are clean!” Leng Rongrong looked at Mo Linyuan pointedly. “Stealing some food before the dinner starts makes the food extra tasty! Hurry up, not everyone gets this kind of privilege.”
Mo Linyuan opened his mouth finally and accepted the large piece of meat.
Beautiful Li was indeed a great cook.
But this meat seemed much tastier, because it was delivered into his mouth by this woman.
Standing behind Mo Linyuan, Tang Luo felt that his eyes had gone bad.
His master, who had a cleanliness obsession, just ate the meat that Madam fed him from her hand. Although Madam only used two fingers, and claimed that she had washed her hands, Master would have pushed such a person away earlier.
But this time, Master did not shoo her away and opened his mouth instead.
Oh my god…
“Luo, what is wrong, do you want to have a bite too? Let me fetch one piece for you.” Leng Rongrong turned to Tang Luo.
Luo?
Mo Linyuan threw a look at Tang Luo, who looked very confused as well.
“Madam, please don’t address me this way. It sounds so creepy, just call me Tang Luo, alright?”
Tang Luo almost had a brain freeze.
Why was she calling him Luo?
What a horrible name.
Wait, was the Master feeling jealous?
“I call Beautiful by his name, so you should be called Luo in all fairness. I am a friendly and warm person, no?” Leng Rongrong was very pleased with herself.
But Tang Luo was thinking to himself. “Please don’t. Master would kill me.
“Madam, please don’t eat any more. You have just ruined my arrangement! If you move any more pieces, the exquisiteness would be ruined.”
Beautiful Li screamed annoyedly from the kitchen.
“Haha, it is so tasty. You just keep cooking. I want to steal a small piece of whatever you make.”
Leng Rongrong’s laughing voice reached him.
“Nooo, please don’t! Taking away the pieces would ruin how the dish looks!”
“We are a family, it doesn’t matter if the dish looks good!”
“You won’t have enough hunger for dinner later!”
“Ah, I am not a child.”
Beautiful Li: “…”
Hearing the lively voices going back and forth, Mo Linyuan smiled, something which he barely did.
Tang Luo: “!!!”
Did he just smile?
Did the Master really smile?
He had not seen Master smiling genuinely in a very long time!
Madam was indeed a magician.
Everyone gathered around the dining table. Leng Rongrong had a good appetite, and always stuffed food into her mouth, making everyone defend their portions. This tussle made the meal time even more delicious.
After dinner, Leng Rongrong went for a walk with Storm outside.
Beautiful Li followed behind.
Mo Linyuan was invited to join them, but he turned down the invitation, claiming that he had something to do.
Leng Rongrong complained a little, thinking that Mo Linyuan refused to come out because of his useless legs.
But she did not push him. They were going to spend an incredibly long time with each other, and she would eventually manage to persuade him to take a walk with her someday.
Mo Linyuan entered the study after Leng Rongrong left.
Tang Luo came in with a pile of documents and said, “Master, here is the background check on Madam. She has not been sent by the Mo Family. She married you because of the marriage contract between the Mo Family and the Leng Family. But our men can’t seem to find details about her real background. She appears to be quite unfathomable.”
“What do you mean?” Mo Linyuan raised his profound eyes and looked at him.
“She did grow up in the countryside, but she spent only a brief period of time with her grandmother there. Her grandmother passed away when she was young. We don’t know how she managed to grow up and who the people behind her are. Someone is stopping us from looking into her background. Moreover, our men have been warned severely not to harm Madam from the other side.”
“Who was sent to do the investigation?”
“Nan Si.”
Tang Luo continued with his report. “Nan Si is the most outstanding investigator in our information group. He is capable of digging up all kinds of detail, even if it was something that happened hundreds of years ago. But he simply can’t find out anything about Madam’s background. As per him, Madam has some extraordinary people behind her back. He was asked to pass on the message to you that her aim is not you, so please treat her well.”
Mo Linyuan stayed silent for a moment and leafed through the documents that Tang Luo had given him.
He spotted a picture of Leng Rongrong between the pile.
A girl at the age of five or six was standing with an old grandma. Dressed in the plainest of clothes, this girl still looked very pretty.
