Chapter 113: Fall into Evil ways

Ling Xuejiu, caught up in the urgency of the moment, had told Leng Xuan to get out, and now she regretted it somewhat. After all, Leng Xuan had good intentions, hadn’t he? Was it really fair to take her frustrations out on him? Besides, on the way here, Leng Xuan’s impressive driving skills had really saved her face, almost causing that arrogant and obnoxious Jin Xianhao to flip his car, right?

Thinking of this, Ling Xuejiu considered whether or not to speak kinder words to diffuse Leng Xuan’s anger when Uncle Liu and Li Mengjie began one after another to speak well of him. Suddenly, she felt an unexplained surge of anger, thinking to herself, who exactly was this Leng Xuan that everyone around her seemed to be under his spell as soon as he arrived?

Whether it was jealousy or something else, her lips pouted and she said angrily, "You all seem to trust him so much but what if his actions delay Grandfather’s urgent medical treatment? What if something happens to Grandfather, who would be responsible then?"

"This..." Uncle Liu paused, exchanging an awkward glance with Li Mengjie.

Li Mengjie sighed in her heart, shook her head, and kept silent, knowing Ling Xuejiu was being stubborn again.

Suddenly, the middle-aged woman who had been quiet, Auntie He, spoke up. She glanced at Leng Xuan before saying, "Isn’t this the bodyguard of the young lady mentioned by the Old Master, Leng Xuan, Mr. Leng?"

Uncle Liu smiled awkwardly and replied, "Yes, the situation was special so I didn’t have time to introduce him."

Auntie He said, "No matter. I have heard the Old Master mention Mr. Leng many times, saying that although he is young, he is actually a very remarkable person. It seems that appearances can indeed be deceiving." The last sentence, although a genuine compliment, somehow felt awkward to Leng Xuan, or did it?

What does ’appearances can be deceiving’ mean?

Was it implying that, despite his extraordinary abilities, he was just an unremarkable face in the crowd, someone who wouldn’t garner a second glance?

You should know, Leng Xuan might dress plainly, but he had always been confident in his appearance; such a blow was something he couldn’t bear...

Fortunately, Leng Xuan knew that Auntie He had no intention of mocking him, so he politely nodded to her and said, "Auntie He, hello, I arrived so abruptly that I forgot to greet you."

"It’s alright," Auntie He replied with a gentle smile, then turned to Ling Xuejiu and said, "Miss, I dare not say much, but I believe I understand the Old Master’s temperament better than anyone. If he insists on not going to the hospital, it might have to do with some secrets he doesn’t wish to reveal. Since Mr. Leng seems so confident, why not let him try? I also believe that someone the Old Master values so highly can’t be all show and no substance."

Uncle Liu doted on Ling Xuejiu, so she could choose not to listen to him, and she could ignore Li Mengjie even more, but Auntie He had raised her and served her grandfather for many years, imparting a familial affection. She had always respected her greatly, which made her feel even more uncomfortable now. She had just been thinking about how Leng Xuan had cast a spell on her close ones, and in the blink of an eye, even Auntie He had fallen under his charm. It was truly frustrating. Feeling aggrieved, tears emerged, and she stood up saying, "If you all trust him so much, then I won’t care anymore." and she rushed out...
