"Leng Mingyue!" A figure rushed over with blazing anger, reaching the group in the blink of an eye. Without hesitation, the person raised a hand, aiming to strike her face.
Leng Sa narrowed her eyes slightly, her faint smile instantly turning icy. She swiftly reached out and grabbed the wrist that was swinging toward her, twisting it sharply. The assailant cried out in pain, startling nearby guests who couldn't help but shiver, and they all turned their gaze toward the commotion.
"Let go!" Fu Yucheng shouted, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Leng Sa.
Leng Sa savored the moment, pleased with the faint traces of bruises that were still visible on his face, even though they were partially concealed by makeup. She then glanced at his leg. He had run so quickly earlier, that she almost couldn't tell that his leg was still injured, making her think she had failed.
This was the power of love. How great!
The guests who heard the commotion looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. The dignified Fourth Young Master Fu was being held by a girl, his wrist twisted, and shouting in agony. Were they watching a drama?
Leng Sa elegantly released him. Fu Yucheng quickly took a step back, his leg was still a little lame.
Even though he was in this state, the Fu family had allowed him to come out and embarrass himself. Did they have some grudge against him?
If she was beaten up like this, she would hide and not dare to see anyone.
"Fourth Master, what's the matter?" Leng Sa asked.
Fu Yucheng tightly held his left wrist with his right hand, his trembling showing his unease. He recalled the humiliation he had suffered when he was kicked out by this woman that day.
He had initially thought that it was because he hadn't been on guard that she had succeeded in her attack. However, he now realized that… this woman was incredibly strong.
Everyone looked at Third Young Lady Leng, who was sitting elegantly at the side, and then at Fourth Young Master Fu, who was somewhat 'contemptible'.
One of the ladies advised, "Fourth Young Master, if you have anything to say, why don't you say it nicely? You're all family, why not say it nicely?" She wanted to remind Fu Yucheng that it would be too embarrassing for him to make a scene.
Unfortunately, Fu Yucheng didn't pay heed to her words. Instead, he glared at Leng Sa and demanded, "What have you done to Ahying?!"
She blinked in confusion, looking towards Song Xuan in confusion as if asking, 'What did I do to Ahying… pfft! What did I do to Zheng Ying?'
Song Xuan shrugged, indicating that she did not know. She had not witnessed anything anyway.
"Leng Mingyue, why are you so malicious? You almost put Ahying in danger a few days ago, and still, you won't leave her alone! Let me tell you, if anything happens to her, I won't spare you!" Fu Yucheng's voice was stern and menacing, and coupled with his less-than-presentable appearance, he looked even more ferocious.
This outburst startled many onlookers who had gathered after hearing the commotion. The image of Fu Yucheng, the esteemed Fourth Young Master, crumbled in the hearts of these young ladies.
Leng Sa remained silent, lowering her head. Fu Yucheng sneered, "What's wrong? Feeling guilty and can't speak? Go apologize to Ahying!"
Leng Sa slowly lifted her head, gazing calmly at him. She spoke softly, her tone serene, "Can't I just live quietly and mind my own business? The last time Miss Zheng came to me, she claimed that both of you genuinely loved each other and begged me to forgive you. I told her… I've already allowed both of you to be together, but as for forgiving you, I truly can't do it."
"Can't we all just mind our own business? If you love each other, why must you come and pester me?" Leng Sa's voice lacked any trace of emotion and remained composed throughout.
However, precisely this calm tone made people sense her profound indifference. When thinking about the current situation of the Third Young Lady of the Leng family, many couldn't help but feel sympathy.
She continued, "Today, I had just arrived when Miss Zheng came to see me again, imploring me to forgive. Does it matter whether I forgive you or not? Must she entangle me every time? Does she want me to forgive so badly that every time I refuse, she has to resort to such dramatic measures?"
With a soft sigh, she looked at Fu Yucheng and said, "I'm begging you, Fourth Young Master, to leave me alone, okay? I have never touched Miss Zheng or her unborn child, but I genuinely cannot say, ' I forgive.' Does that satisfy you? Please tell Miss Zheng not to disturb me anymore. I'm not interested in your affairs."
F*ck! In this world, who wasn't a drama queen?
"Don't bully my sister!" Leng Feng appeared from nowhere, standing in front of Leng Sa, glaring fiercely at Fu Yucheng.
"Lil' Feng."
Leng Feng extended his arms to shield his sister, but he was still too short to block Fu Yucheng effectively. If Fu Yucheng reached out, he could still touch her easily.
Leng Feng looked up at Fu Yucheng, who was much taller than him. "My sister didn't harm that bad woman! She was the one who pestered my sister. I saw it myself. When my sister left, that woman was perfectly fine! You're all bad people! Shameless!"
This was too much! He hurt her and forced her to forgive him.
She refused to forgive you, you used yourself and an unborn child as leverage? Utterly shameless!
"What's going on here?" The cool voice of Madam Fu echoed from the crowd, and immediately, people made way for her.
Madam Fu was wearing a dark purple dress with the word 'fortune' in it. Two jade hairpins were adorning her upswept hair. Her face was dignified and solemn. For some reason, it reminded Leng Sa of the portrait of Old Madam Leng when she was younger.
"Mother, I…" Fu Yucheng began.
"You, be quiet!" Madam Fu glanced at her son, and then her gaze landed on Leng Sa.
After a moment of silence, Madam Fu calmly said, "Today is Lil' Six's birthday. What are you causing a ruckus for? Come with me… and Miss Leng as well. Apologies for the disturbance, everyone, please disperse." With that, Madam Fu turned and left. She had no intention of allowing Leng Sa to refuse.
The crowd, not wanting to disrespect Madam Fu, quickly dispersed and returned to their activities.
Leng Sa stood up with a smile, while Leng Feng, Bai, Xi, and the others appeared worried. "Sister…"
"Sasa."
Leng Sa shook her head, reassuring them that there was no need to worry, and then she pushed past Leng Feng and followed Madam Fu.
As she passed by Fu Yucheng, she stopped in her tracks. Fu Yucheng glared at her through gritted teeth. "Leng Mingyue, you're quite something!"
She raised her head to meet his gaze and subtly curled her lips into a smile.
She was exceptionally beautiful, but she rarely smiled in front of others. So, when she suddenly smiled so close to him, no matter how much Fu Yucheng despised her, he couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
Leng Sa then spoke in a low voice, "Of course, I'm good. Want to challenge me? Fool!" She turned and walked away.
Left behind, Fu Yucheng finally snapped out of his stupor, his face turning pale with anger. His entire body was trembling.
This woman… was indeed doing it on purpose!
"Leng… Ming… Yue!" He gritted his teeth as if he wanted to pounce on her and bite her to death.
Watching Fu Yucheng's unbalanced figure as he walked away, the four people left behind collectively breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.
Of course, they had also heard Leng Sa's last sentence.
"Little brother!" An Lucy slapped Leng Feng's shoulder and adjusted her glasses. "You didn't hear anything just now. And when you go back, you can't tell your parents or your grandfather. Understand?"
Rolling his eyes, Leng Feng agreed with a nod. He felt like he had just endured a test beyond his years.
He nodded expressionlessly and said, "My sister is intelligent, lovely, gentle, and virtuous. She's the epitome of refined ladies from prestigious families in Yong City."
"…" This kid was worth teaching!
