"Ruoyu, I need to talk to Leng Yuan about something. Could you get him for me?"
When Gu Jiaojiao had entered the house, Mrs. Chen had instructed her to just stay in the room and look pretty. She was only to come out when Leng Yuan came in to invite her.
This was to make her appear more demure.
Chen Ruoyu evidently knew this rule as well, so she left immediately.
She walked over to Leng Yuan, and her heart couldn't help but give a little tremble.
Chen Ruoyu swallowed hard before managing to whisper a single sentence.
"Mr. Leng, Jiaojiao is asking for you."
She watched him, secretly trying to steady her trembling legs.
Leng Yuan remained silent.
He merely glanced at Chen Ruoyu before heading into the room. As for the frightened looks people gave him, Leng Yuan had been seeing them his entire life.
Back when his parents first passed away, he was cast out to live on his own. It wasn't as if no one had tried to cause trouble for him, but he had beaten them all into submission.
