Chapter 68: You’ll find out what sharp really means 2.

Leng Xuan’s insinuation was indeed very sharp.

Xiao Yun was stunned, as was Li Mengjie—they had never imagined that when Leng Xuan lost his temper, he would be so fierce, so domineering, so arrogant, so dismissive of everything, so contemptuous of all...

Ling Xuejiu’s face turned from green to white, ashen white, her chest heaving with emotion, her bosom surging tumultuously, which in other circumstances would have been quite seductive, but now there was no one to admire it...

"Leng Xuan..." A loud cry and Ling Xuejiu abruptly stood up, pointing a slender finger at Leng Xuan, trembling all over with anger, and her voice trembled with emotion as she said, "You, you... you said it yourself, you let me call Grandpa. Fine, I’m going to... I’m going to call Grandpa now and have him fire you." As she spoke, she took out her phone and dialed Ling Tian’s number, tears of anger spilling out.

Leng Xuan looked coldly at Ling Xuejiu, the corners of his mouth still holding a faint trace of disdain, of mockery, his powerful presence nearly suffocating. That’s why, even as Ling Xuejiu pointed at him, there was a trace of inexplicable fear in her eyes. Even Li Mengjie, watching from the side, couldn’t help but be secretly startled and began to reassess Leng Xuan.

"Is that you, Xue Jiu? What’s the matter?" Ling Tian’s voice came through the phone, probably exhausted, so his voice seemed a bit feeble over the phone.

With a "wa" Ling Xuejiu couldn’t help crying out, "Grandpa... waah, Grandpa..."

Ling Tian’s voice became stern as he said, "Xue Jiu, what’s wrong? What happened? Stop crying and tell Grandpa, I’ll stand up for you."

Hearing her grandfather’s voice, Ling Xuejiu immediately felt much better and was no longer afraid of what Leng Xuan might do. Sobbing, she said bitterly, "Grandpa, Leng Xuan, he... he told me to call you, to have him fired. This time he said it himself. Grandpa, I hate him, I don’t want to see him ever again, you must promise me, make him disappear from my sight."

On the other end of the line, Ling Tian furrowed his brow and said softly, "What’s the matter? What caused him to say such a thing?" Although he knew that his granddaughter had really been wronged this time, otherwise, she wouldn’t have cried like this, but until he fully understood the situation, he, Ling Tian, was not one to draw conclusions lightly. Conversely, if he were someone who was easily swayed by emotions, how could he possibly have achieved such a notable and illustrious career?

Faced with her grandfather’s question, Ling Xuejiu was somewhat at a loss for what to say. Was she supposed to tell her grandfather that because she had locked Leng Xuan and Xiao Yun out, and Leng Xuan used illegitimate means to open the door and delivered an infuriating tirade?

Such an explanation, Ling Xuejiu understood very well, would not only fail to get her grandfather’s sympathy but would likely result in a scolding, because she knew that her grandfather felt sympathy for Xiao Yun’s background. So whenever she and Xiao Yun had conflicts in the past, her grandfather was always the first to reprimand her. Because of this, she had always been somewhat jealous of Xiao Yun, which was why she often made things difficult for Xiao Yun over minor matters when they lived together, and that was also why Xiao Yun eventually left.

Ling Tian certainly understood his granddaughter’s temperament as well. Seeing that she couldn’t speak, he said, "Hand the phone to Leng Xuan, let me talk to him."

Ling Xuejiu was taken aback, but she dared not disobey her grandfather’s command, so she handed the phone over, glaring hatefully at Leng Xuan and sobbed, "My... my grandpa wants you to take the call."
