Wen Yan found it amusing. Wen Ya always loved to play coy. Was she never tired of pretending?
Her expression turned cold. "For my own good?"
Wen Ya's face instantly changed at her words. Just then, a bodyguard walked up to her from outside the door. "Miss, please come with us..."
Just as everyone expected Wen Yan to be kicked out, a man's cold voice echoed from outside. "My person. I'd like to see who dares to throw her out!"
At these words, everyone's expression towards Wen Yan shifted dramatically.
The next second, Leng Xunze, dressed in a blue suit and long trousers, walked to Wen Yan's side.
Seeing Leng Xunze, the two bodyguards instantly turned pale with fright. "Young Master Leng."
"Get out!" The man's gaze turned cold, sending a shiver down the spines of the two bodyguards.
At this moment, the entire room fell silent.
Wen Yan turned her head to look at Leng Xunze. She had a feeling this man had deliberately arrived late.
Was it to see her embarrassed?
If that were the case, he was truly a dog.
Leng Xunze sensed her gaze and turned his head, their eyes meeting. He said in a low voice, "Something came up, I'm late."
"It's fine, you're just in time," Wen Yan replied with a sweet smile.
Seeing Leng Xunze and Wen Yan interacting as if no one else were present, Wen Ya chuckled and interrupted, looking at Leng Xunze. "Young Master Leng, my sister..."
Before Wen Ya could finish speaking, Leng Xunze shot her a cold glance. "Who are you?"
Wen Ya, hearing this, felt a bit awkward as she introduced herself. "Young Master Leng, I am Wen Ya. Wen Yan is my sister. Do you still remember visiting the Wen family?"
Leng Xunze glanced at Wen Yan and asked, "This is your sister?"
Wen Yan shook her head. "I don't know her."
She could tell that Leng Xunze was deliberately asking that.
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya's face changed. "Sister, how can you say you don't know me?"
Wen Yan was intentionally making her lose face in front of the Leng family's eldest young master.
Thinking of this, her eyes narrowed, and her hands clenched tightly.
Seeing how attentive Leng Xunze was to Wen Yan, a flicker of jealousy crossed Song Na's eyes. This woman was truly shameless.
She wondered what methods she had used to seduce Xunze.
When she went over this afternoon, Leng Xunze was still in a bad mood.
Wen Yan frowned. "My mother only gave birth to me. How could I have a sister?"
Upon hearing this, everyone started whispering amongst themselves.
"What is the relationship between this Wen Yan and the Leng family's eldest young master?"
"It's obvious. Young Master Leng is here to back up Wen Yan."
"I think so too. The Wen family and the Leng family are worlds apart. Did they know each other before?"
Leng Xunze's gaze fell on Wen Ya. "Do you want me to throw you out, or will you leave on your own?"
Wen Ya's face turned pale and then flushed.
If she were thrown out, how could she maintain her standing in high society?
Song Na walked towards Wen Yan, a smile on her lips. "Miss Wen, there's a limit to everything. Wen Ya is your sister, after all."
Then, she looked at Leng Xunze. "Xunze, I brought Wen Ya in. Give me some face."
Leng Xunze remained silent.
Wen Yan looked up at Song Na and sneered, "Miss Song, you're quite good at playing the game. When your people were verbally attacking me earlier, why didn't I see you step out and say this?"
"That was just a joke with Miss Wen. Miss Wen doesn't need to take it to heart." Song Na now felt like she was sitting on thorns.
No matter what, Wen Ya was someone she had brought. If she were kicked out, it would be her who lost face.
Just as Wen Yan was about to speak, Leng Bai Rui, unable to stand it any longer, walked up to Wen Yan and reprimanded her angrily, "Wen Yan, that's enough! What right do you have to borrow my brother's power to support yourself?"
Wen Yan's expression changed slightly. Leng Xunze looked at Leng Bai Rui with a determined gaze. "She is your sister-in-law. Watch what you say from now on."
"I don't want to hear you say that again!"
The crowd was stunned by the simple yet domineering declaration.
"What? The eldest young lady of the Wen family is actually Young Master Leng's wife? Wen Shi Hao has truly struck gold!"
"Even if what Wen Yan and the eldest young master Leng have is true, it's useless. There are no unequal marriages in wealthy families."
"As everyone knows, the Leng family and the Song family have close cooperative ties privately. Just this point alone, the Leng family has to consider it."
"I don't think so. Young Master Leng has never been one to follow the rules."
Leng Bai Rui was even more shocked. She looked at Leng Xunze in disbelief. "Brother, you can't be joking, can you?"
How was this possible? Wen Yan had suddenly become her sister-in-law.
Song Na was also completely stunned, frozen in place, unable to utter a word. She had just spoken ill of Wen Yan, and only a few minutes later, Leng Xunze said she was Leng Bai Rui's sister-in-law.
No, only she was worthy of this man. This man could only be hers.
Wen Yan stared blankly at the man beside her. She hadn't expected him to make their relationship public.
Leng Xunze looked at Wen Yan's flushed face and felt quite smug. This woman was finally experiencing what it felt like to be speechless.
Wen Ya stood there, gritting her teeth, consumed by jealousy.
Damn it, Wen Yan had never mentioned this.
This made her feel even more embarrassed, thinking about her earlier attempts to win over Leng Xunze.
Leng Bai Rui vehemently objected, "Brother, I don't agree to Wen Yan being my sister-in-law. She's not worthy of you!"
Then, as if losing control, she glared at Wen Yan. "Tell me, what method did you use to seduce my brother? How can you be so shameless?"
"The last time you came to my house as a stylist, I felt something was off. Did you seduce my brother back then?"
Wen Yan curled her lips. "Miss Leng, you keep calling me shameless. Why don't you ask your brother?"
"All of you, shut up! Rui'er, mind your status. I don't want my birthday banquet to be ruined by your bickering!" Leng Xue and Ou Ziqing walked down the stairs.
She had heard the conversation clearly. Leng Xunze had done something so outrageous, which was tantamount to breaking the cooperation between the Leng and Song families.
How foolish!
Everyone looked towards the stairs and saw Leng Xue and Ou Ziqing approaching.
Leng Bai Rui saw Leng Xue and immediately went to her, speaking with some anger. "Mom..."
Leng Xue shot her a glare, and Leng Bai Rui, with no other choice, fell silent.
Leng Xue glanced at Wen Yan and smiled. "Miss Wen, you truly surprise me! But we won't discuss this tonight. The birthday banquet is about to begin. Come along."
Wen Yan nodded. "Okay."
Madame Leng, as expected of a CEO, possessed a sharp and decisive demeanor that commanded respect.
Everyone also sensed the unspoken tension in the air and, with tacit understanding, followed Leng Xue to another side.
Leng Xunze took her hand and said, "Let's go." He then instructed the bodyguards outside, "Escort Miss Wen out!"
"Yes!" The two bodyguards responded and walked to Wen Ya's side. "Let's go."
Wen Ya's face was ashen as she cast a pleading look at Song Na.
However, Song Na was preoccupied with her own thoughts and paid her no attention.
