“What happened?” At this moment, Leng Batian and his wife Wang Yaru, who were entertaining guests outside, were alarmed and walked in.
Everyone looked at each other and didn’t know how to explain the situation.
Seeing everyone like this and then looking at her son’s gloomy face, Leng Batian had a rough idea of what had happened.
When this son lost his temper, who would dare to speak?
He felt a bit displeased. Today was his youngest son’s twentieth birthday. They had invited so many aristocrats from prestigious families, and everyone was watching. No matter what happened, he shouldn’t have put on such a stern face to scare people.
“So it’s Minhang and Xixi. I was wondering who caused such a commotion. Oh, what happened to your hand? How did it get injured like this?” Wang Yaru followed him in and was surprised when she saw Luo Xi’s swollen and red hand.
Her words drew Leng Batian’s attention to Luo Xi. After giving her a quick once-over, he furrowed his brows and asked, “You’re the new daughter-in-law that Minhang married?”
Luo Xi lowered her eyes and politely replied, “Yes, Uncle.”
This man was Leng Minhang’s affectionate father.
Luo Xi couldn’t say that she liked him, and she even found him annoying.
He doted on his youngest son alone but showed no concern for Leng Minhang, treating him with indifference.
He had even considered supporting his youngest son. If it weren’t for Leng Yuan’s status as an illegitimate son, he didn’t know how he would have suppressed Leng Minhang!
That was also the reason why Leng Minhang was unwilling to return to the old house. Even though Leng Batian was both their biological father, his attitudes were completely different, like night and day!
Even now, after knowing her relationship with Leng Minhang, he still maintained a stern expression, as if he wanted to hold her responsible.
“Why are you causing trouble as soon as you arrive? Is this banquet a place for you to make a mess?” Leng Batian scolded with dissatisfaction when he heard her speak.
Although her words were directed at Luo Xi, the tone implied criticism towards others.
Luo Xi’s face darkened slightly, her voice cold as she replied, “Uncle, please refrain from making baseless comments before you understand what happened.”
Everyone looked at Luo Xi in astonishment. No one expected her to dare to speak to Leng Batian like this.
Leng Batian’s eyes squinted, and he began to take a careful look at this daughter-in-law. He didn’t expect her to be so daring as to counter his words.
Was she too ignorant, or did she still not understand her own identity?
“No matter what happened, since we are now related, it is your problem. Why did you cause trouble and make everyone unhappy at other people’s son’s birthday banquet?” He said solemnly.
“Uncle, your unreasonable words are quite laughable. How do you know that it’s our problem and not someone else provoking us? Even if it’s at your son’s birthday banquet, are we supposed to be bullied? What kind of reasoning is that?” Luo Xi sneered.
She knew very well that this man’s target wasn’t her, but it made her even angrier. She would rather be the target herself than see Leng Minhang being treated like this!
Even if he was his father, so what?
Her man doesn’t allow anyone to lecture!
Her repeated provocations made Leng Batian’s face turn dark, and he finally shifted his gaze to Leng Minhang who was standing beside him. “Is this the good wife you married? Such a disrespectful person also has the qualifications to be the future Madam Leng?”
Leng Minhang’s eyes seemed to contain an unfathomable pool of ink, churning with emotions.
