“You, don’t scare me like that. I-I don’t believe it…” Elder Zhang said, claiming not to believe it, but his trembling voice and lack of confidence were enough to reveal the truth.
Although they were surprised, they didn’t take Leng Changyuan’s words as the answer, so some people were still doubtful.
“Elder Leng, are you saying that your granddaughter has a relationship with Mr. Li? I’m not looking down on your granddaughter, but Mr. Li has very high status. How could he be interested in your granddaughter and ask her to do something for him? Even with your family’s status, it wouldn’t be easy to get close to Mr. Li!” one old man said. He hadn’t been to the Mo family’s banquet, so he wasn’t clear about it. He thought that Mr. Li was too high-level for the Leng family to climb up to.
...
Another old man couldn’t stand it any longer and said, “What’s impossible? Many people went to talk to Mr. Li that day, but he was distant from them. However, when Leng Xiaoyao went over, Mr. Li talked to her for a while! Even that young master from Hai City was polite to her! Obviously, they have known each other for a long time.”
If they were polite to everyone they talked to, then it was not surprising that they were polite to Leng Xiaoyao, but the problem was that Leng Xiaoyao was treated differently.
When the other people heard that, even those who didn’t believe it were surprised that Leng Xiaoyao really had a relationship with Mr. Li!
“Humph! I know you doubt what my granddaughter, a young girl, has to do with Mr. Li. Let me tell you! My granddaughter cut out jade in a gambling game. Mr. Li came to see my granddaughter to buy her jade as a gift for his family elders. Don’t question other people’s grandchildren just because your own grandchildren have no ability. You’re getting more and more conservative in your thinking,” Leng Changyuan said, angry and proud.
He knew that if he didn’t give a reason, they would still gossip about it. It was better to tell them something half true and half false, although it would make them jealous. Anyway, his granddaughter was undeniably outstanding!
As for whether they believed it or not, it was no longer within his consideration. He just didn’t want to hear them belittle Leng Xiaoyao anymore.
After saying that, Leng Changyuan ignored them and left directly.
The other people were stunned.
What? Leng Xiaoyao cut out jade in a gambling game?
Although everyone still found it unbelievable, they also knew that Leng Changyuan had no reason to lie.
Therefore, while they were doubtful, they also became jealous.
“Elder Zhang is really lucky! His granddaughter cut out jade in a gambling game…”
“Right! To be able to win Mr. Li’s interest, the value of this jade must be high. It’s probably worth millions of yuan or even more!”
“Tsk! Millions of yuan! That’s not a small amount of money!”
Although everyone came from families with some power and money, millions of yuan wasn’t a small amount of money.
For example, the Leng family had a company worth billions of yuan, but it was still impossible for them to spend millions of yuan on one thing.
“Humph! He’s just bragging!”
Elder Zhang dared not speak ill of Leng Xiaoyao again, but he still felt dissatisfied and retorted once more.
“I mean, Elder Zhang, what can you appreciate? Do you think the world revolves around you?”
“Some people are just too idle. That’s why they have nothing better to do. After all, they don’t have any children or grandchildren at home. Unlike us, when we go back home, our sons and grandsons surround us at once. We don’t have so much time to judge other people?”
“Right! We can only come out to be quiet for a while.”
They were complaining about the noise at home, but in reality, they were just showing off. At their age, who wanted a quiet home?
Their words were like salt on Elder Zhang’s wound.
As the saying went, those who were pitiful must have something hateful about them. Elder Zhang had two daughters. In the early years, he favored boys over his daughters and always went to his brother’s house to dote on his nephew.
Later on, he regretted it as he had hurt his daughters’ hearts. His daughters didn’t treat him as sincerely as before, while his nephew didn’t even care about him. He regretted it, but was it meaningful? No, it was too late to regret.
At first, they sympathized with Elder Zhang and often visited him to keep him from being lonely, but his personality couldn’t be changed. He offended them all.
“Y-You…” Elder Zhang couldn’t stand it any longer and left in anger.
After arguing with Elder Zhang, Leng Changyuan returned home and told Leng Xiaoyao about the situation.
“Humph! How dare they look down on my granddaughter and say we can’t possibly know such a big shot. Humph! Their own grandchildren have no abilities, yet they question others. They aren’t smart at all.” Although Leng Changyuan looked angry, he couldn’t hide his pride.
“That’s right. Just because someone isn’t a big shot doesn’t mean they can’t be friends with someone who is. Not everyone judges their friends based on their status. Uncle Yecheng and Ling Tianqi, An Chenjun, and the others are getting along well now. They are all young masters from the top families in the city!” Leng Xiaoyao said.
“You’re right.” When Leng Xiaoyao brought it up, Leng Changyuan was also very happy. Since Leng Yecheng got closer to them, there were more collaborations in the company.
At 9:30 am, Leng Xiaoyao left with a package of jade and said she was going to give it to Mr. Li.
She also said that after meeting with Mr. Li, she would go see Shen Xiyin and see how the making of the jade jewelry was going.
Knowing that Leng Xiaoyao was running a jewelry company, Leng Changyuan didn’t doubt her.
Leng Xiaoyao drove directly to the hotel where Li Mochen stayed, then went to the company with him.
Xiaoyao Technology was busy with the game and maintaining previous collaborations. They hadn’t taken on any new collaborations since they were going to the capital city soon. it wasn’t suitable to take on new projects until they were stable.
As soon as they arrived at the elevator, they met Lin Lipeng who had a conflict with Leng Xiaoyao before. After last time’s lesson, Lin Lipeng immediately avoided Leng Xiaoyao when he saw her, afraid of provoking her.
Everyone was surprised to see this, not expecting Lin Lipeng to be afraid of anyone!
