Gu Mingyan collected herself. When she finally saw the person in front of him clearly, her eyebrows furrowed deeply into her forehead.
“You’re Young Master Leng from the Leng family? Leng Jinpeng’s son?”
“That’s right.”
Receiving Leng Qirui’s reply, Gu Mingyan frowned again.
The Leng and the Huang family were both second-tier families in Emperor District. Originally, their strengths were about the same. However, an instructor for the special forces, Leng Jinpeng, was born in the Leng family. He relied on his abilities to hold important positions in the military base.
Although there were political figures from the Huang family in Emperor District too, none could compare to Leng Jinpeng.
Therefore, in front of Leng Qirui, Gu Mingyan’s imposing aura was instantly diminished.
However, the fact that Leng Qirui was so protective of her own daughter meant that he had taken a liking to her. It made her happy because that meant she would be able to obtain help from the Leng family. She also felt more confident now.
“I’m not sure who are you to her to say that. If you’re saying that as the young master of the Leng family, then I have no comment. If you’re saying that as Selina’s friend, then let me ask you, is this how the Leng family teaches you to talk to your elders? Don’t you know that I’m Selina’s mother?”
In the Leng family, Leng Qirui was the devil incarnate. He was the darling of his grandparents whom no one could control. He was not someone a mere mistress of the Huang family could scare into submission.
Not to mention that he and Selina were not even friends yet. Even if they were, he would not show any respect to such an elder like her.
“Selina doesn’t even want to acknowledge you. Even if she did, do you think someone like you is worthy of me treating you as an elder? What right do you have to make noise here as someone who abandoned her husband and daughter?”
Gu Mingyan, “…!!!”
She did not expect Leng Qirui to disregard her of the most basic respect. Hearing his words, Gu Mingyan was now angry at him too.
“Young Master Leng, the Huang and Leng family are both second-tier noble families. I hope you can be more polite when you speak. Otherwise, when we meet again in the future, the Huang family and the Leng family will lose face.”
“If you treat Selina like this, I won’t even let you off right now, what more in the future. You’re just a second-tier family that barely made it. How shameless can you be? When hasn’t your husband bow to the members of the Leng family every time he sees us?”
“You…!!!”
Since she rarely received insults like this, Gu Mingyan was so pissed off, especially since someone young insulted her. However, she could not do anything to Leng Qirui. Therefore, she could only vent her anger on Selina.
“Selina, look at the kind of friends you’ve made. As your mother, let me tell you, not everyone from these noble families has manners. You’re from a noble family in Luntan too, so you should have some understanding of these things.
“Now that you’re back, it’s a good thing that your mother is also a wife of a second-tier noble family. There are many single young men with talents that I can introduce to you. When do you think you’re coming home? I’ll introduce you to talented young men from wealthy families in Emperor District. Oh, and your grandparents miss you too. It’s perfect timing for me to bring you back to acknowledge your ancestral family.
“By the way, stop going to school, okay? Speaking of which… What were you thinking? You’re the precious daughter of the Duke of Luntan. Even if you’ve come to Camino, you should study in Emperor District. Why did you come to Jiang District to study in a university located so remotely? Honestly, what were you thinking?”
Leng Qirui could not stand it anymore. He snorted, “Mrs. Huang, you’re really thick-skinned, aren’t you? Did Selina say that she wanted you to be her mother?”
