When Old Master Leng heard Leng Jinpeng rebuking his wife, he criticized Leng Jinpeng, “Hey, are you out of your mind? Why are you criticizing your mother? I gave Lil Rui the money, so what? What’s wrong with buying Lil Rui that piece of equipment? That ensures his throne as the number one Almighty in the game! He…”
Grandma Leng suddenly interjected, “Without the equipment, our Lil Rui can still be the number one Almighty!”
Grandpa Leng nodded frantically. “That’s right!”
Grandma Leng continued, “Also, you should wash your old-fashioned mind with water. It’s just a game. Why do you keep insisting that Lil Rui joined gangs? Those people can’t beat Lil Rui in the game, so they beat him up in reality. That only means that they’re the ones who need therapy. Think of it from a different perspective—if one day you were suddenly bitten by a mad dog on a walk, your father and I would come over to tell you off. We’d say that you were always outside teasing cats and provoking dogs, or attracting bees and butterflies. That you’d have to be responsible for the things you say too, y’know?”
Grandpa Leng said, “That’s right! Also, it’s already good enough that we’re not telling you off for this. Previously, when you brought that ingrate back, we refused to acknowledge him no matter what. To go against us, you actually bought a house somewhere else and raised that ingrate in that house. Look at how things turned out now? That ingrate of yours is the true gangster here, alright?”
Grandma Leng continued, “Exactly! I just can’t stand that scheming b*stard the most. One look and I can tell that he’s full of malice. You still treated him like a treasure and scolds our Lil Rui frequently instead. It’s the same for this incident. If it weren’t for that ingrate, would our Lil Rui have gotten injured? Would your father and I have to lie in bed and pretend to be dead? Hey, let me tell you this—even those who pretend to be dead will have to give red packets still. Otherwise, it’s inauspicious!”
Grandma Leng was from Sea District. Even though she had been in Emperor District for a few decades now, her demeanor typical of a woman from Sea District had never changed. Her lectures came in endless strings.
Leng Jinpeng’s head started to throb as he listened to the two elders’ scolding him, speechless to the extreme. He nodded continuously, “Yes, yes, yes! I’ll give you a big red packet, alright?”
“Then, I’ll deduct all your dividends this year. When the time comes, I’ll just deduct from your dividends.”
Leng Jinpeng, “…” Were they trying to send Leng Jinpeng into bankruptcy?
How much could he earn from the military base as the Commander-in-chief? If his dividends got deducted, how much left was he supposed to lose?
However, Leng Jinpeng knew that the two elderly would have to pretend to be dead—for a long time too—so he could only nod dejectedly.
Seeing Leng Jinpeng agree, Grandma Leng immediately whispered to Leng Qirui, “Sweetheart, once we deduct your father’s money, Grandma will give it all to you!”
Leng Jinpeng, “…”
Could she lower her voice? He could hear her, okay?
Leng Qirui chuckled and nodded. “Thank you, Grandma. You’re the best!”
Grandpa Leng asked, “Is Grandpa not good?”
“Grandpa is the second best.”
He understood Grandpa Leng’s personality who loved the idea of becoming a wife-slave. It would be best to say that he was the best, but he would not be happy. However, as long as he was ranked behind Grandma, he would be the happiest.
As expected, the two elders laughed happily.
Leng Qirui was in a good mood when he thought about how he would receive a considerable sum of money. The corners of his lips curled up. He thought that he should buy a gift for Selina, Aiden, Dan Qi, and Nuannuan.
For Selina and Aiden, he would just buy them some equipment.
Leng Qirui stood there like some spoilt second young master who neither sat nor stood with the elegant bearing of one. His look after losing a few limbs made him look no different from those gangsters.
