The atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Several people were startled.
Especially Li Mengyao, who clutched her chest and looked back at Leng Xunze. Meeting his deep, dark eyes, a chill ran down her spine.
The man's voice was magnetic and indifferent, yet exceptionally chilling: "Miss Li's upbringing is truly surprising."
Li Mengyao's face was extremely embarrassed. Her aunt also showed some displeasure at her daughter's lack of composure, but she had to defend her in front of outsiders. Her tone, filled with disdain and superiority, said, "My Li family's young lady is not for an outsider to judge."
"He is not an outsider now." Wen Yan looked directly at her aunt, "He is my man!"
Her pretty, pure, and beautiful face was drawn tight.
Leng Xunze looked at her, his dark eyes flickering. These were words he had once spoken!
For some reason, a strange emotion spread in his heart.
"Your man? It's a pity, Wen Yan, do you think you are considered a member of the Li family?" Her aunt's eyes swept over them with contempt and mockery, "You are just a burden to the Li family!"
Li Mengyao calmed down, regaining her aura as the eldest daughter of the Li family. She snorted and said, "If we hadn't taken you in, you'd be sleeping on the streets right now. Wen Yan, the most important thing is to know your place!"
Their condescending attitude made Wen Yan's chest feel heavy, "Then I should really thank you. This house was cleaned by my mother, the clothes were washed by my mother. If it weren't for my mother taking care of you, do you think you would have your high-and-mighty life?"
"Heh, but we're still using our things, aren't we? Oh, right, you'll be using the kitchen later, the kitchenware was also bought by us. You can use it after paying, otherwise, you can just eat out for your return meal!" Her aunt put on her airs.
This was simply too much!
"Mom, do you see clearly? These are the true thoughts of the family you've been taking care of!" Wen Yan turned to her mother again, "Do you really want to continue living in a place like this?"
Wen's mother moved her lips but said nothing.
Li Mengyao gazed at them with arrogance, waiting for them to beg for mercy.
"Mom, Yan Yan, I happen to have coupons for Coast Restaurant. Why don't we eat there for lunch?" Leng Xunze's thin lips parted, his voice magnetic and powerful.
Coast Restaurant!
Famous for its prime location and decor.
The average cost per person was four figures and up.
Wen's mother's expression shifted slightly, and she quickly nodded, "Okay."
Seeing her mother agree, Wen Yan also nodded and left the Li family with them.
Li Mengyao hadn't expected them to actually leave like that. She stood up from the sofa.
It felt like punching cotton.
It made her extremely uncomfortable!
"That bitch!" Li Mengyao was furious and looked at her aunt, "Mom, Wen Yan, that bitch is too much. I'll have their things thrown out right now! And that Leng Xunze, he's so detestable. Wasn't he a penniless guy? Where did he get the money to go to Coast Restaurant!"
Even she didn't go there very often.
Her aunt narrowed her eyes. Today's events had indeed exceeded her expectations.
"They are just two drowning dogs, what waves can they stir up? Calm down, don't lose the face of the Li family's eldest daughter. Don't forget, you are going to be Mrs. Jiang."
Li Mengyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Right.
Jiang Yao City must know people at Coast Restaurant.
A malicious glint flashed in her eyes, "Mom, I'm right. Today I'm going to beat the drowning dogs. Let Wen Yan see the gap between us!"
Coast Restaurant.
Wen Yan hadn't expected Leng Xunze to actually come here. She hesitated and said, "Maybe we should just forget it. It's too expensive to eat here."
Leng Xunze slightly curved his lips, "The company gave out some coupons, which can get us a fifty percent discount."
Fifty percent off?
That was acceptable.
Moreover, it was their return meal day, so eating well was fine.
Wen Yan finally nodded in agreement, and they walked in.
As soon as the manager at the entrance saw them, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came forward to greet them, "You're here, please follow me." The manager led them to a window seat, where they could see the boundless sea outside, the water shimmering, and seagulls flying, "This is the best viewing spot."
"Thank you," Wen Yan said softly.
As expected of a high-end restaurant, the service was impeccable.
The manager glanced at Leng Xunze. The man's eyes were deep. He nodded slightly, and the manager smiled, "Our coupons are for a fixed menu. Please wait a moment, the dishes will be served soon."
"Okay."
Wen's mother felt a bit awkward but said to Leng Xunze, "Xunze, Yan Yan suffered a lot when she was with me. Now that you are together, you must work hard. I believe your good days are ahead."
"Mom, don't worry," Leng Xunze's dark eyes looked at Wen Yan, deep as if making a vow. Wen Yan's ears inexplicably turned red, and she quickly said, "Mom, we will definitely work hard. You shouldn't live at the Li family's anymore, move out."
"You don't know, rent and utility bills are expensive outside," Wen's mother was reluctant.
"But your expenses alone aren't much. I'm going to find a job soon, and I'll pay for your rent then."
Wen's mother was still hesitant. Wen Yan thought it was just her mother's sentimentality and didn't say much.
The three chatted, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Wen Yan had been worried that Leng Xunze wouldn't talk and would create an awkward silence. In reality, the man was very polite and spoke appropriately, getting along well with her mother.
Wen Yan couldn't help but smile.
She suddenly felt that a future like this might be quite good.
Just then, a perfect couple walked in and went straight to Wen Yan's side.
"Manager, we want to sit here!"
The loud voice instantly attracted Wen Yan's attention.
She saw Li Mengyao walking over, arm in arm with Jiang Yao City, a smile on her lips.
Jiang Yao City's face was still bandaged, but he was still dressed expensively.
Seeing Wen Yan, Jiang Yao City's face immediately ached. Last time, he was not only beaten but also didn't know who had hit him. He sent people to investigate, but then received news that he had been fired from the project! It was truly a case of losing the wife and the soldiers.
Moreover, the person next to Wen Yan was that fallen young master Leng?
Although dressed simply, his face was extremely handsome!
Wen Yan's face turned cold as she looked at Li Mengyao, "It seems you truly love me."
"What?"
"You want what I don't want, and you even want to eat what I've touched. Do you love everything I reject?" Wen Yan said indifferently.
One sentence shamed both of them.
Li Mengyao's eyes darkened, "You really know how to flatter yourself. Wen Yan, I'm here only to let you see the gap between us!"
Jiang Yao City directly called the manager over.
"I'll pay double the price, I want this seat!" Jiang Yao City was ruthless and brief.
