"It's Family Tang's business, so it's not appropriate for us to talk about it. Gu Ning is undoubtedly the daughter of Tang Yunfan," Master Leng said. Although it wasn't a secret, it wasn't appropriate for them to talk about it in front of Gu Ning.
"If she's not a stepdaughter, then she must be an illegitimate daughter!" Leng Shaojia said without hesitation.
"Shut up!" Master Leng snapped at once. Although Leng Shaojia was right, it was too hurtful for him to say it in front of Gu Ning.
Besides, what was wrong with being an illegitimate daughter? An illegitimate daughter was also the granddaughter of Family Tang, the daughter of Tang Yunfan, and the apple of Family Tang's eye.
"Am I wrong?" Leng Shaojia argued with annoyance.
"Yes, I'm an illegitimate daughter, but so what?" Gu Ning admitted with alacrity that she was an illegitimate daughter, because it was the truth. There was nothing to hide, but she didn't think that she was inferior just because she was an illegitimate daughter. It didn't matter to her whether she had the title of Miss Tang's daughter or not.
If it was important, she would have agreed to move her household register to Family Tang and change her surname to Gu.
She was Gu Ning. If she wanted to have the title, she would work hard and fight for it herself. She didn't need anyone to give it to her.
"An illegitimate daughter has always been a disgrace. If Family Leng brings an illegitimate daughter home, it'll be a great shame," Leng Shaojia said in disdain. Leng Shaojia said with disdain. Now that she knew that Gu Ning was an illegitimate daughter, she started to be arrogant.
"Shut up!" Master Leng snapped at Leng Shaojia with a serious face.
As for the shame that Leng Shaojia mentioned, Master Leng didn't think it would happen. Even if it did, he didn't care. He liked Gu Ning as a person, not her family background.
Although Leng Shaojia was frightened by Master Leng's scolding, he was unwilling to accept it. He pretended that he was doing it for Family Leng's good. "Grandpa, I'm doing this for Family Leng's sake. Family Leng is the head of the four dominant families in the capital. What if those people find out … "
"Go back to your room …" Before Leng Shaojia could finish, Master Leng snapped, and Leng Shaojia shut his mouth.
"Grandpa Leng, don't be angry." Gu Ning immediately comforted him. She then looked at Leng Shaojia and said casually, "You're right. Illegitimate daughters always have a bad reputation, but if you have the ability to stop it, then do it."
Leng Shaojia opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a piece of meat suddenly flew into his mouth. It was Leng Shaoting's masterpiece.
He didn't say anything just now, but it didn't mean that he wasn't angry. He had promised Gu Ning that no matter what happened, she would deal with it herself.
But now, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action.
The scene shocked everyone. Leng Shaojia was also stunned and didn't know how to react.
"Shaojia, are you okay?" Jiang Shuyuan hurriedly removed the piece of meat from Leng Shaojia's mouth and asked worriedly.
However, before Leng Shaojia could respond, Jiang Shuyuan looked at Leng Shaoting and accused him unhappily, "Shao Ting, how could you do this?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I can do anything." Leng Shaoting said coldly. He emitted an intimidating aura. Not only did it intimidate Jiang Shuyuan, but everyone also felt oppressed.
Although Leng Shaoting was usually cold, he had never been angry with them, so they didn't feel Leng Shaoting's anger. Now that they felt it, they finally realized how terrifying Leng Shaoting's aura was. Even Master Leng was affected by it.
After all, they were all people in high positions, and it was always others who were afraid of them.
Even the high and mighty ones would give them some face and not put on airs when they saw them.
"Mom …" Leng Shaojia got back to his senses. Looking at Leng Shaoting's terrifying aura, he was scared and didn't dare to go against Leng Shaoting anymore. He immediately sought protection.
"It's okay. Mom will accompany you back to your room to rest." Jiang Shuyuan comforted Leng Shaojia at once. She knew that Leng Shaojia couldn't eat after what had happened, so she took Leng Shaojia away.
After that, Leng Shaojia left with Jiang Shuyuan.
"Girl, please don't mind it. I've never had any bad thoughts about you. I can't wait for you to become my granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible. " Master Leng was afraid that Gu Ning would have bad thoughts because of what had happened, so he immediately comforted her.
"Exactly! Ningning, we like you very much. We really hope that you can become Family Leng's granddaughter-in-law, "Yu Yin said.
"Exactly!" Leng Yuanzhen agreed at once.
"Miss Gu, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not teaching my daughter well. Please ignore her." Leng Yuanqian also apologized. Although he didn't want Leng Shaoting to marry a woman with a powerful family background, it wasn't something he could control.
He also had the same idea as Leng Shaojia. He thought that Gu Ning, an illegitimate daughter, would embarrass the Family Leng if she married into the Family Leng. However, Master Leng was the most powerful person in the Family Leng. Therefore, he believed that it was useless even if he disagreed.
Most importantly, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't show it on his face. In addition, he was very good at pretending to be a good person. That was why he apologized to Gu Ning because of Leng Shaojia's recklessness.
In fact, people like Leng Yuanqian who were good at pretending and flexible were the most popular people in the government. That was why he was able to hold an important position in the government.
As for people like Jiang Shuyuan, they said that she didn't know how to be a good person. She didn't have any serious conflicts with her colleagues at work, and she was able to do her job well.
But! They said that she knew how to be a good person, but she was always mean at home. She didn't like Leng Yuanzhen and his wife, and even their children hated Leng Shaoting.
Perhaps there were two sides to a person's personality. They had different attitudes towards different people and things.
"It's fine. I didn't take it to heart." Gu Ning pretended that she didn't care, but she really didn't care about it. She didn't care about Leng Shaojia, so she didn't care about what she said.
