Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Father-in-law’s Phone Call

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, Chu Xiaoran’s bag fell to the ground as she let out a loud, shrill scream!

In an instant, Xiao Zheng, who was treating Leng Ruobing, felt his legs go weak and his forehead planted squarely on her smooth thigh.

Leng Ruobing also got quite the scare.

She immediately jumped up from the bed.

"What the hell are you screaming for! Someone threatening you or what!" Xiao Zheng turned around and cursed angrily.

"You! You! You big stinky idiot, and my cousin... you... you’d actually do such embarrassing things! Ahhh!!!"

The young girl covered her mouth with her hands, closing her eyes and screaming incessantly.

As she screamed, she said, "Next time you do something like this, can you at least close the door? Don’t you know I’m still a child?"

"What the heck!"

Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded. Now she’s got a point?

"Xiao Ran, it’s not what you think!"

Leng Ruobing knew she must have misunderstood.

"I’m not listening, I’m not listening! I won’t listen!"

The young girl started running downstairs.

"Xiao Ran!"

Leng Ruobing hurriedly chased after her.

"Cousin, you and he..."

Chu Xiaoran simply couldn’t accept it, her pure and virtuous cousin had actually done that with a man... it was so filthy...

"Xiao Ran, it’s not what you saw, Xiao Zheng was treating me!"

"Treating sickness in that pose? Hmph, cousin, stop lying to me, I don’t buy it!"

The young girl pouted.

Leng Ruobing was flabbergasted.

"It really is like that..."

Seeing her cousin at a loss for words with a flushed face, the young girl suddenly giggled, poked her in the chest with a finger, and said with a mischievous expression, "Cousin, tell me the truth, do you like him or not?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hehe, cousin, there’s nothing we can’t talk about. Just now you two... don’t try to explain, explaining is just covering up, I understand, I get it all, I’m not a child anymore."

"Understand my foot." Leng Ruobing knew there was no point in trying to clarify, so she simply gave up on explaining.

She was always that sort of woman, not caring if others understood her, as long as she understood herself.

Having said that, she strode away.

Leaving the young girl completely baffled.

......

The next morning, Xiao Zheng arrived at the company much earlier than usual.

From afar, he saw Mo Anna waiting for him at the company’s reception.

This made Xiao Zheng somewhat embarrassed; that night, things almost went too far between them.

"Eh, why are you here so early today?"

Mo Anna sashayed over, hips swaying, wearing a seductive smile.

This was a woman naturally imbued with allure, even a frown or a smile emitted a mature and enticing charm.

Xiao Zheng touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile, "Any later and I wouldn’t even have money for next month’s breakfast."

"Well, that’s perfect, then Sister Mo will support you," Mo Anna casually remarked.

After saying it, she immediately regretted it, her face and ears turning red.

Of course, Xiao Zheng took it as nothing more than a joke.

"By the way, has Yiqing come to work?"

Xiao Zheng asked.

These past few days, Mu Yiqing hadn’t been coming to work and had taken time off.

Xiao Zheng grew worried because she had been harassed by Manager Zhang last time. Manager Zhang had also sought revenge on him, and he wondered if he had done anything to that girl.

Upon hearing this, Mo Anna’s eyebrows knitted together and she said unhappily, "Oh, oh, oh, you’ve only known her for a few days and already you’re calling her Yiqing? Could it be that you’ve taken an interest in her?"

Mo Anna clearly felt a tinge of jealousy.

But Xiao Zheng, that guy, didn’t catch on and chuckled, "We’re colleagues, right? Colleagues should love and care for each other."

"Cut it out. Yiqing came to work today. Don’t worry; Manager Zhang has resigned. No one will harass her."

Arms crossed, Mo Anna rolled her eyes dismissively and asked, "You free tonight?"

"Uh... no..."

Xiao Zheng jerked alert; damn it, was she trying to seduce me again?

"No time then. It’s a shame to have wasted that pot of ox penis soup I made this morning."

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but respond with a mix of laughter and tears, "Another time then, I’ll get a chance to taste Sister Mo’s cooking."

"There won’t be another chance."

Mo Anna pretended to be upset.

Just then, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Glancing at it, Xiao Zheng felt a touch of resignation; it was his so-called father-in-law calling.

Leng Haitang...

"Brother Xiao, are you available right now?"

On the other end of the line, Leng Haitang spoke with utmost respect, cautiously asking.

He was worried that his call might disturb Xiao Zheng and upset him.

"Hehe, we’re old acquaintances, what’s with all this formality?" Xiao Zheng smiled.

Seeing him on the phone, Mo Anna tactfully left.

On the phone, Leng Haitang was thrilled; to be treated like this by the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect was beyond his wildest dreams!

After all, a few years back, not just anybody could call Xiao Zheng!

Leng Haitang cleared his throat twice and then cautiously said, "Brother Xiao, there’s a gathering of elites tonight at Huahai Manor. I was wondering if you might be free to join us?"

"We’ll see, I’m pretty busy right now," Xiao Zheng laughed.

He had no interest in mingling with the so-called elite; he hadn’t planned to return to his previous lifestyle after coming back to Zhonghai City.

"Brother Xiao, are you really not considering dropping by for a bit?" Leng Haitang knew his limits and didn’t want to push too hard.

Xiao Zheng chuckled and said, "We’ll see. I’ll let you know when I’m free."

"Alright, alright, Old Leng will be at your service anytime, awaiting Brother Xiao!"

Leng Haitang laughed heartily.

Leng Haitang wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Xiao Zheng; after all, six years ago, Tianji Sect was a colossus in Zhonghai City, and even if the sect had disbanded today, Xiao Zheng still possessed supreme dignity!

Most importantly, the incident involving Luo Yusheng from Luo Sheng Sect a few days ago had been buzzing in Leng Haitang’s ears. Getting on the good side of Luo Sheng Sect would be a tremendous boost for him!

After chatting idly with this so-called father-in-law for a few minutes, Xiao Zheng hung up, shaking his head with a bitter smile on his lips.

If Leng Ruobing knew how her father was treating him, what would her expression be?

...

He walked into the office, where Mu Yiqing, busy with work, came to report to him.

However, her complexion today seemed unnatural, as if she had something on her mind.

"What’s wrong? Why the long face? Did something happen?" Xiao Zheng inquired.

"Supervisor Xiao... I..."

Mu Yiqing’s face flushed, her head bowed.

Putting down the proposal in his hands, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "What is it, Sister Yiqing? Have you run into some trouble? Just speak up."

She was an endearing and amusing girl.

Unlike Mo Anna’s style, this girl seemed to be naturally shy, never daring to look up at Xiao Zheng whenever she saw him.

"I... Supervisor Xiao... I..."

She was very nervous and unsure how to start.

"Tell me, can I help in any way?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"It’s like this, my father wants me to attend a gathering of elites tonight to introduce me to some male friends, but... but I really don’t want to go, I don’t like their circle... but... but I don’t know how to refuse..."

As she spoke, a troubled look crossed her delicate features.
