Luo Xi looked at her as if she were an idiot. “Your imagination is really rich. With a talent for making things up like this, you should consider being a gossip reporter.”
“I don’t want to talk to you. I want to see my brother. I need him to tell me in person whether this is his decision!”
“No need to ask. It is my decision.” Leng Minxing’s cold voice came from behind Luo Xi.
Lin Xuan angrily asked him, “Why? I’m your cousin. How can you treat me this way!”
A sarcastic smile curled on Leng Minxing’s lips. “So you do know I’m your cousin? If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was your enemy.”
Lin Xuan found herself at a loss for words.
She suddenly recalled that many years ago when she returned, her cousin was cold but had never bullied her. In fact, he had stood up for her when others bullied her, coldly telling them to scram. Back then, Leng Minxing was like an idol to her—a brother she proudly boasted about to all her friends. Who would have thought that years later, their relationship would reach such a breaking point?
The admiration she once felt vanished, replaced by resentment and bitterness. When she disclosed his information to others, she felt an almost twisted sense of revenge, forgetting how terrifying this man’s methods could be.
No one had dared to reveal his private life to the media all these years. To everyone else, he was just a solitary man, but no one truly understood him. Now she was the one who had exposed him—wasn’t that similar to becoming his enemy?
Lin Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, a wave of regret flooding through her.
“Xiao Xuan!”
Hearing something was off from the phone, Leng Youran felt anxious for her daughter. She was afraid she might do something foolish due to shock. She quickly arranged for someone to take her to find Lin Xuan. When she arrived at her daughter’s office, the manager told her that her daughter had gone to see her cousin. She then hurriedly took the elevator to the top floor. As soon as the doors opened, she saw her daughter’s lost expression and called out to her.
Luo Xi paused in her chewing of apple and looked at Leng Youran, surprised that she had come.
Leng Minxing’s gaze remained as cold as ever, unaffected by the commotion around him.
“Minxing, what have you done?” Seeing her daughter unresponsive, Leng Youran assumed Lin Xuan had been scolded by Leng Minxing. She couldn’t help but step forward to accuse him.
“I only fired her.”
Leng Minxing threw a cold glance at Lin Xuan.
“Mom!” Lin Xuan shuddered under his cold gaze, snapping out of her daze. When she saw her mother, she rushed over to hug her and burst into tears.
“Fired! Why did you fire Xiao Xuan?” Leng Youran glared at him angrily.
“Her reputation is too poor and has affected the company’s image,” he replied flatly.
“W-What…” Leng Youran was bewildered. Not long ago, the Feng family had called to coldly annul the engagement and had told her to ask her daughter what had happened. Now, her nephew was saying her daughter’s reputation was too bad. What on earth was going on?
Luo Xi kindly handed her the phone, saying, “It might be because your daughter has caused someone to wear a green hat.”
Hearing this, Luo Xi felt a pang of sympathy for Feng Lingye. He was so handsome and wealthy, yet his fiancée cheated on him.
