The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568: Chapter 564: Zhang Tianming Inquires About Leng Yuan

"Lu Yuanbin, why are Leng Yuan and Jiaojiao living at the foot of the mountain?"

Though Zhu Wanqi had never lived in a village, she’d heard plenty of stories about wild boars attacking people. Living at the foot of the mountain seemed far too dangerous.

Lu Yuanbin’s expression turned furious at the mere mention of it.

He then recounted all the shameless things the Leng Family had done.

For the most part, Lu Yuanbin furiously cursed the heartless scoundrels of the Leng Family and lamented how difficult things had been for his Brother Leng. He shared everything that should be said and kept his mouth shut about what shouldn’t.

As for what the Leng Family had done, there was no need to hide it. Even if he hadn’t said anything, Zhang Tianming could have just gone to the village and asked anyone, and they would have rattled off the whole story.

After listening, Zhu Wanqi was also furious. "The Leng Family is just too shameless! Too cold-blooded!"

Their eldest son had just died, and they were already rushing to seize the house he left behind and kick Leng Yuan out. They weren’t family; they were more like sworn enemies.

Zhang Tianming listened to his wife’s blunt words with a helpless expression.

It sounded like the Leng Family had taken full advantage, but in reality, Leng Yuan had used the house to successfully rid himself of those burdens.

That clean, decisive style, completely free of messy complications, earned his deep admiration.

’He’s a formidable character.’

’This Qingshan Team is destined for great things in the future.’

’It seems I should keep a closer eye on the Qingshan Team. If any directives come down, I can give this place priority.’

Lu Yuanbin had no idea that his little speech had already earned his Brother Leng the approval of Zhang Tianming.

Unlike the cheerful atmosphere at Leng Yuan’s house, things were different elsewhere.

Having been shut out and left fuming, Leng Shuyue returned to the Leng Family home with a long, sullen face. When she saw that Ding Jiangchuan still hadn’t come to pick her up by lunchtime, she had a complete meltdown.

She took out all her frustrations right there in the house.

It threw the Leng Family into utter chaos.

Leng Qingtian was sick and tired of the adults’ squabbling. He wiped his mouth after eating and stormed out of the house. The cold wind on his face gradually cleared his head.

He used to think that everything the family had now was due to the good fortune of the second and third branches, or thanks to his eldest uncle’s help. He believed it had nothing to do with Leng Yuan.

Moreover, his grandfather had always favored Leng Yuan since they were children, which made him jealous. ’We’re all grandpa’s grandsons,’ he’d thought, ’so why is Leng Yuan the only one he keeps by his side and teaches personally?’

He remembered his grandfather as a very old-fashioned, stern, and formidable man. He had been terrified of him.

Yet he had also craved his grandfather’s praise. But his grandfather’s eyes only ever lingered on Leng Yuan; he never gave the other grandchildren a second glance.

His own older brother was the eldest, and he was the youngest. There was a saying: dote on the eldest and dote on the youngest, but never the one in the middle.

But with their grandfather, that old saying was turned on its head. He didn’t dote on the eldest or the youngest—he only doted on Leng Yuan.

Out of seven grandsons, only Leng Yuan had ever been praised by him.

But here he was, still relying on his parents to find a wife, while Leng Yuan was befriending such powerful people. It made his jealousy seem utterly ridiculous.
