The Profligate Madam of the Family - Chapter 37
Chapter 37: Who Was It?
Seeing Mo Linyuan’s car pull over, Leng Rongrong rushed towards them.
Tang Luo helped Mo Linyuan off the car.
“You are late!” Leng Rongrong threw a look at Mo Linyuan. “Did you go and check our street?”
Seeing Leng Rongrong’s pretty, little face, Mo Linyuan felt his heart becoming warm.
She did resemble Ling’er in some way.
Ling’er was like this too. She always waited for him to come home.
After getting off the car, Mo Linyuan brought out a candy and handed it to Leng Rongrong.
Leng Rongrong took it and quickly peeled it open, stuffing it into her mouth. It melted in her mouth, making her smile.
Mo Linyuan’s handsome face held a look of pride on it. Staying silent, he was wheeled into the house by Tang Luo.
“How was your day? Did anything happen at Fengyun Street? Do you have any ideas about how to proceed with the work there?” Leng Rongrong asked Mo Linyuan as if she were a parent talking to a child.
“I decided to renovate all the stores.” Mo Linyuan replied in a calm voice.
Leng Rongrong nodded. “Huh, sounds good. But that street has an antique vibe to it. Don’t turn it into something totally different. We can make some online promotions after the renovation. If we advertise it well, the business would eventually pick up.”
Leng Rongrong looked like a wise, mature woman when she was talking seriously, although her appearance was that of a young girl.
It seemed that she didn’t use her brain when she was doing things like shopping extravagantly or buying a deserted street. But when she spoke about how to renovate the entire street and how to boost the business, she was another person altogether.
In the end, she threw a look at Mo Linyuan and said, “You can try this idea. If the business doesn’t take off, we can sell it to someone else. I predict that within two years, the land price will be doubled and we will not lose out on this transaction.”
Mo Linyuan: “…”
Tang Luo: “…”
So, Madam bought the street because she knew that the land price would double? She actually had a plan…
Tang Luo’s lips twitched. Master had made a similar comment about this earlier during the day.
As per him, it was very easy to develop this street. Even if it didn’t prosper, someone else would come and buy this land after a while. The price at that point would increase by ten times.
These two were just crazy…
Making money was difficult for others, but seemed to be a child’s play for them.
Tang Luo decided not to look down at his madam from this moment on.
“Why hasn’t Leng Guantang arrived here yet?!” Leng Rongrong got very displeased after she finished her discussion with Mo Linyuan.
They were just talking when they heard some movement outside.
Leng Rongrong rushed out and saw Leng Guantang’s men coming with the license and other papers.
“It’s good that he listened to me.” Leng Rongrong said coldly.
She took the pile and checked everything thoroughly.
The keys and related stuff were all there. Now, she could not wait to see her mother’s old house.
“I am going to check out my mother’s house.” Leng Rongrong said as she put away the things. “You coming?”
She had not intended to invite Mo Linyuan along, but for some unknown reason, she still did.
She was sure that Mo Linyuan would not be interested.
Unexpectedly, Mo Linyuan agreed instantly. “Sure.”
Rongrong said, “What??”
Everyone, apart from Storm, went with Leng Rongrong to her mother’s old house.
The house was located in the city center, an extremely nice location with a classical style of decoration.
Leng Rongrong knew that her mother used to live here before, but she had never visited the place.
Now that she got the key and the ownership of the house, Leng Rongrong could not wait to check it out.
It was her mother’s legacy after all.
Although she did not have much of an impression of her, she missed her mother greatly.
As they came to the house, Leng Rongrong got off the car first and opened the outer gate with the key and then guided the rest of the gang in.
As they reached the main door, Leng Rongrong was about to use the other key to open when it opened by itself.
Startled, Leng Rongrong walked in.
Suddenly, Leng Rongrong saw a silhouette flashing by.
“Who is it?”
Leng Rongrong bellowed and rushed towards that silhouette. She gripped his shoulders but that person dodged her by bending down.
They got engaged in a quick fight.
“Madam!”
Tang Luo and Beautiful Li rushed up to Leng Rongrong almost at the same time. But that man was really fast. He leaped up to the second floor, hopped out of the balcony, running along the wall, only to disappear in the darkness.
As Beautiful Li and Tang Luo hurried after him, that person was already gone.
Leng Rongrong instantly turned on all the lights in the house.
The house looked as if it hadn’t been used in a long time. Everything had a thick layer of dust on it.
On the floor, there were some footprints of the person who had just disappeared.
“Was he a thief?” Leng Rongrong thought as she stared at the footprints on the floor.
“Impossible. A thief couldn’t have been so skilled. Judging from the way he fought with you, he must have been a professional or someone from the security industry.” Mo Linyuan said quickly.
“Sorry, Madam, we failed to catch him.”
Tang Luo and Beautiful Li looked apologetic when they returned.
“Who could have sent him? Can’t be Leng Guantang’s man, none of his men could be so skilled. Could he be related to my mother?”
Leng Rongrong’s eyes brightened but dimmed quickly.
Too bad that she did not catch that person, otherwise she could have grilled him into answering her questions.
The house seemed to be the way as it had been years ago. It was clear that even if Leng Guantang took possession of it, he had not thought about doing anything with it. Maybe he had forgotten about this place, or maybe he never thought of her mother ever since.
