Old Mr. Leng looked at the silent crowd. Without saying anything, he picked up the whip and lashed it at Leng Mu.
In an instant, the back of Leng Mubai's white shirt was stained with blood.
Jiang Piaopiao was anxious. She suddenly felt that Leng Mu, kneeling on the ground, was the same as her when her younger sister accused her because of stealing. No one listened to her explanation, and no one believed her. She was in the same situation as him now. They were both pitiful men framed and abandoned by their families. His words touched her when he said he wanted to give her a home.
If she married Leng Mu, she could escape from that ruthless family. But she had been in love with Leng Huanxin for three-year! How could she abandon him?
Jiang Piaopiao closed her eyes in pain. The scene of her parting with Leng Huanxin appeared in her mind.
Last night, her parents had plotted against her to get her into an old man's bed. She ran out with all her strength to find Leng Huanxin and told him about it. She hoped that he could get married to her. Her family would stop scheming against her as long as they got married.
But what did Leng Huanxin say?
He said that no matter how much her parents didn't like her, they wouldn't go too far. After all, she was their biological daughter. Was there a misunderstanding between them? How could they abuse their daughter and plot against her?
Because he was in a hurry to go on a business trip, he left her in the care of his mother. He said that she could be at ease with his mother around. She said that when he returned, he would prepare a proposal ceremony and then happily get married. It would not be so rushed.
Leng Huanxin's gentle voice seemed to still be beside her ears. Jiang Piaopiao felt her heartache. However, the whipping sounds pulled her back to reality.
After what happened last night, the relationship between her and Leng Huanxin could not return! Leng Mu was Leng Huanxin's uncle. Even if Leng Huanxin didn't mind, how would he meet his uncle? Besides, who wouldn't mind? She would also have a grudge.
Jiang Piaopiao opened her eyes, and there was a hint of determination in her eyes, "Grandpa, I'm willing to marry Second Uncle!"
Old Mr. Leng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If you marry him, you can't call me Grandpa anymore."
"You have to call him daddy, or the seniority will be messed up." Leng Mu, kneeling on the ground, put on a weak smile. However, this movement affected the wound on his back, and his face turned pale.
The butler hurriedly looked at Jiang Piaopiao, "Second Young Madam, please help Second Master into the wheelchair! His body has not recovered yet. After this torment, he will likely be weak for a while…."
Jiang Piaopiao couldn't be pretentious anymore. She forced herself to help Leng Mu onto the wheelchair with the old butler.
Leng Mu sat in the wheelchair and looked at Li Qiuxia weakly. His voice was filled with ridicule, "I wonder if you are satisfied with this result?"
"Of course I'm satisfied! However, Second Brother, don't hate me. Piaopiao is the daughter-in-law of your elder brother. I have known her very well over the years. You two have sex. No matter what, you should be responsible for her. Otherwise, how will people look at the Leng family if this news exposes? Incest between Niece-in-law and uncle? Isn't that absurd?" As she spoke, Li Qiuxia walked towards Jiang Piaopiao and gently held her hand, "Piaopiao, although I can't be your mother-in-law, we're still a family. If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me! I'll side with you in this family!"
Jiang Piaopiao had already figured everything out. No matter why Li Qiuxia had schemed against her, she was disappointed. She could not get close to her, "I'm going to marry a second uncle. From now on, we are of the same generation. You can just call me sister! The Leng family had a big business. We shouldn't mess around!"
Li Qiuxia's expression stiffened. She did not expect Jiang Piaopiao, who had always been aloof from worldly affairs, to speak to her sarcastically. However, he thought of something and replied indifferently, "Okay, you are right."
Looking at Li Qiuxia's relaxed and happy expression, Jiang Piaopiao recalled what Leng Huanxin had said before leaving, "With his mother taking care of him, he could rest assured!"
He was relieved. His mother had taken care of his fiancée and placed her in someone else's bed. She did her best.
Leng Mu looked at Jiang Piaopiao's attitude towards Li Qiuxia and smiled happily, "It seems you're in a good mood. Oh right. You must have already reached an agreement with the Wei family. After removing Piaopiao, you will welcome the Wei family's young lady into the home! Let me congratulate you for having such a wonderful daughter-in-law from the Wei family."
Li Qiuxia's face darkened.
Jiang Piaopiao and Old Mr. Leng also looked at her simultaneously.
