2885 Everyone Is Home
Because Yuan Wenye carried all the blame, Master Yuan and Yuan Wenyue weren’t worried. They were only a little anxious since the problem hadn’t been solved yet.
The Leng family was too powerful, so they were still afraid that the Leng family would find out about the crimes they had committed.
The Rong family also joined the competition between the Dai family and the Chang family, but they played normal tricks, so they weren’t afraid of being caught.
The Rong family also stood in awe of the Leng family, so they only wanted to benefit from the competition against the Chang family. They weren’t going against the Dai family and the Leng family.
The Rong family had a good reputation, but they also had shortcomings. Therefore, they didn’t dare to annoy the Leng family at this time. If the Leng family wanted to punish them, they would suffer a great loss.
…
When Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were back at the Leng family’s house, Leng Shaoming was also home with Zhan Zhiyin.
Because Leng Shaoming had been attacked once before, Zhan Zhiyin was afraid that he might be injured again so she stayed with him all the time.
Misfortune tests the sincerity of couples. Leng Shaoming and Zhan Zhiyin met each other when they encountered trouble, so they had a deep affection for one another even though they had only been together for a short time.
Leng Shaoming said to himself that he would never disappoint Zhan Zhiyin, unless she made moral mistakes.
Everyone had their own standards, and he couldn’t accept amoral people.
Anyway, he believed that Zhan Zhiyin was a good girl.
Because Zhan Zhiyin kept Leng Shaoming company, both Leng Yuanqian and Jiang Shuyuan felt grateful to her. They hoped that she and Leng Shaoming could get together, so they treated her very well.
Leng Shaojia no longer locked herself in her room. She would come out and gather together with the other family members. Sitting in the living room, she remained silent playing on her phone, but she had completely gotten rid of her arrogance, which was a big change.
Even Leng Shaoxun and Leng Shaoxi felt that Leng Shaojia was more pleasant now. They still disliked her, but they wouldn’t pick on her any longer.
Although Jiang Shuyuan still felt uncomfortable when facing Jing Yunyao, she could talk to her nicely now.
Because of Jiang Shuyuan’s change, Jing Yunyao hated her less. She wouldn’t be enthusiastic, but she wouldn’t be cold to her either. They were polite to each other now.
Accordingly, the Leng family was harmonious and Master Leng was in a good mood.
What he wanted the most was a harmonious family. They might not be intimate, but they definitely shouldn’t be enemies.
Now his dream had come true.
…
After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got back, except for Leng Yuanjin’s family, all the members were present.
“It’s rare to have a family reunion like today!” Master Leng said. In fact, he cherished the harmony more than everyone’s presence.
It wasn’t easy for them to gather together so harmoniously, so they didn’t talk about recent bad news. In addition, it was a family reunion, so they chatted casually.
After having the meal, they rested for more than half an hour, then Master Leng called Leng Shaoting, Jing Yunyao, Gu Ning, Leng Yuanqian, Leng Yuanzhen, and Leng Shaoming to his study.
They needed to have a talk about recent news.
Currently, many officials who belonged to the Chang family’s faction had been reported and arrested, but the final result hadn’t come out yet. There was solid evidence, but it would take time to finish the formalities.
“Members of the Dai family have replaced most of the positions left by those reported officials, while some are taken over by other forces,” Leng Yuanqian reported.
Leng Yuanqian was dealing with it now, because Master Leng had retired years ago. He had no power to interfere. He could only give some advice on things.
“The Chang family is too influential. I don’t think the Dai family can fully replace them. It’s not a bad result that they can take 60% of the Chang family’s resources. It’s not a big deal that they lost some, as long as the rest isn’t taken over by the same force,” Master Leng said.
Although the Dai family stood out against the Chang family, the Dai family wasn’t enough to replace the Chang family. Therefore, the Leng family sent some people to help them and did their best to stop other forces from stealing their fruits.
However, they didn’t interfere too much because they shouldn’t be too involved.
Other forces were influential too, but they weren’t powerful enough to control and get everything. Anyway, they only wanted to climb up the social ladder a little.
“We replaced about 20% of their positions in the government, so only about 20% are shared by other forces. After all, we have more evidence,” Leng Yuanqian said.
They talked for about an hour before they went out to watch TV and chat with the other family members.
At 10 pm, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the Leng family’s house.
Zhan Zhiyin was Leng Shaoming’s girlfriend, but it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay in the Leng family’s house for a night right now, so she left too.
The Leng family didn’t really care about that, but Zhan Zhiyin insisted, so they didn’t stop her from leaving.
Nevertheless, the Leng family didn’t let her leave alone. They told Leng Shaoming to go with her. He could take Zhan Zhiyin to his own house outside, and didn’t need to come back tonight.
The young members of the Leng family had their own houses outside, because they needed their privacy. However, before they got married, they would meet at the ancient house as long as they had time. It was more exciting to eat with a large group of people.
Sometimes they would still live together even after they got married, because they were a traditional large family.
They seldom stayed outside.
…
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left the Leng family’s house for Mid-Levels Mansion. They would visit Shangguan Yang tomorrow.
When Leng Shaoting came back, he had already given Shangguan Yang a call.
Back in Mid-Levels Mansion.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had sex as usual.
At noon the next day, they went to the siheyuan.
Actually, Gu Ning had planned to go to work, but she quickly changed her mind after Leng Shaoting came back.
As soon as she showed up, the tree vine ran towards her and complained. “Master, you’ve been gone for a long time.”
The tree vine was no longer so afraid of Leng Shaoting as long as he remembered not to hold Gu Ning’s hand.
“I needed to write my exams!” Gu Ning said.
