Day n of not wanting to be a kept man's canary

"Hahahaha." Leng Tingye laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Old man, you're so old, how can your thinking still be so childish!" The man stopped lighting his lighter, feigning mischief, "I really like this personality of yours!"

Bloodthirstiness, cruelty, violence, debauchery, and recklessness are traits despised by the world, yet they are the only means by which he can survive in this world.

"Unlike some people who always act one way in public and another way in private, engaging in underhanded tactics, we should be upright."

This was undoubtedly a blatant mockery of the person before him, and as expected, he wouldn't be Leng Tingye if he were obedient.

Old Master Leng's face was somber, concealing the slight familial affection that had just arisen. He calmly said, "I've heard that you've been recklessly suppressing the Leng family's main business lately."

Leng Tingye smiled casually, "That's right!"

"You are ultimately a member of the Leng family, and you will eventually return to the Leng family. You can't just act on your whims!"

These words are quite intriguing. Upon closer examination, the old man intended to use the position of the Leng family head to keep him on his toes, so that he would stop targeting the Leng family.

He's a cunning old fox, only thinking of taming his prey with a piece of meat he can't get his hands on.

His father was the heir apparent of the Leng family, but he died in an accidental explosion on his way home to inherit the family headship, which also took his mother's life.

After his father, the position of head of the Leng family remained vacant.

Leng Tingye walked up to Old Master Leng and patted his back. "Don't be nervous, I'm just playing around. This is just the beginning!"

Seeing that Leng Tingye was unmoved, Old Master Leng had no choice but to change the subject, "You're not getting any younger, it's time to settle down!"

The old man, leaning on his cane, walked to the desk and picked up a photo frame. "I'm getting old too. I hope that in the time I have left, I can watch you get married and have children, and I can hold my great-grandchild."

Looking at his son's portrait, the usually composed head of the Leng family revealed an unprecedented look of grief.

"Clap~ Clap~ Clap!" Leng Tingye clapped his hands repeatedly, saying sarcastically, "How touching!"

"As long as you nod, Grandpa will immediately find you a woman to choose from."

"Really?" Leng Tingye's interest was instantly piqued. "I can choose whatever I want?"

It seems this path is feasible; there are countless women eager to marry into the Leng family, a wealthy and powerful clan. One or even a hundred wouldn't be a problem.

The old man smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time. "Really!"

"How about my new sister-in-law?" Leng Tingye laughed lewdly, without the slightest shame.

The unethical words made the old man's blood boil, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he shouted, "You scoundrel!"

Leng Tingye spread his hands, pursed his lips, and said, "You said it, I can choose whatever I want!"

"..."

In the old man's eyes, these words were just a trick to annoy him, a way of being unruly and speaking nonsense. He simply took it as a random fabrication.

To be honest, he hasn't even had a chance to see his future granddaughter-in-law today! I heard her surname is Mu.

"Except for her!" Old Master Leng stood up, his voice trembling, but he kept his tone relatively calm. It was clear that he was trying his best to control his emotions.

Leng Tingye turned around, "Other women, uh..."

He hesitated halfway through his sentence, and the old man was secretly pleased. Judging from his tone, he didn't immediately refuse, so it seemed there was room for negotiation.

He was like a wild horse, unruly and untamed. If a woman could restrain him and become the reins that bind him, he would have a weakness.

Unexpectedly, Leng Tingye replied, "I can't get it up."

These shameful words just slipped out of her mouth, making the old man almost choke on his breath. He cursed, "You bastard!"

"I've heard that Miss Lan has long admired you, and you're a good match."

“Sure!” Leng Tingye said casually, “I just happen to be missing a little grandma.”

"Get out!" The old man's suppressed anger erupted, and he smashed the teacup in a fit of rage.

Leng Tingye strode towards the door, laughing unrestrainedly.

Just then, he bumped into Leng Changlin. He stopped, his eyes darkening slightly, and then smiled, "Brother, what a coincidence! Why don't you go in and listen?"

The implication was clear, but Leng Changlin wasn't angry. He put on a fake smile and said, "Fourth brother, don't misunderstand. I came here specifically to see you."

"Oh?" Leng Tingye feigned surprise.

Leng Changlin smiled warmly, like an older brother in an ordinary family, and said, "Let me treat you to a drink."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was one of fierce competition.

Leng Tingye stated bluntly, "Sorry, I'm not interested!"

Leng Changlin wasn't angry at all. Instead, he said indulgently, "I know you've always had some misunderstandings about me as your older brother. No matter what, we're still family!"

"Don't fucking mention family to me. I don't have any family. You think you can use family to bind me?" Leng Tingye looked into the room with murderous intent in his eyes and raised his voice, "Don't you even know if you're qualified."

It was spoken to those outside the house, and also to those inside.

Five years ago, on the day his parents died, he lost his family. If they weren't his so-called family, how could his parents have died so tragically?

A few coughs came from inside the room.

Leng Changlin, like an older brother accommodating his younger brother, said helplessly, "It seems that your misunderstanding of me cannot be explained in a few words. No matter what you do, I will not hold it against you."

"Nan Yuan, your sister-in-law has already arranged for someone to tidy it up for you. It may be a bit deserted since no one has lived here for a long time. If you don't mind, you can come to Dong Yuan and live with your brother."

The Cold Residence is a classical building with the main courtyard in the center and the side courtyards surrounding it, located in the east, south, west and north respectively, named East Courtyard, South Courtyard, West Courtyard and North Courtyard.

The eldest son lived in the East Garden.

"Who said I was going to stay overnight?"

"Stay home when you get home. We haven't seen each other in a long time," Leng Changlin said sincerely, as if he really hoped he would stay.

Leng Tingye found it amusing and clapped, "What a sight! Such deep brotherly affection!"

"That's disgusting!"

After he finished speaking, he strode away, his laughter still echoing in my ears, it was quite eerie.

His temperament was eccentric and unpredictable; no one could fathom his thoughts.

East Garden.

Tang Yu thoughtfully treated Mu Yanxin's wounds.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm so sorry to have troubled you on my first day at the Leng family!" Mu Yanxin said gratefully.

Tang Yu gently scolded, "Silly girl, what are you saying? We've already said we're family, so it's only right that I help you."

At this moment, Leng Changlin returned and gave Tang Yu a wink before entering the study.

Mu Yanxin stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going back too. If I get back late, Changqing will be angry again."

Tang Yu pressed her shoulder and sat her back on the sofa, smiling as she said, "Wait a minute, you haven't taken your anti-inflammatory medicine yet. After you take it, I'll take you back and say a few words to your second aunt on the way, so she won't make things difficult for you, the new daughter-in-law."

After saying that, he turned around and went to pour water.

Mu Yanxin had no choice but to swallow her refusal.

Tang Yu held the medicine in one hand and water in the other, handing it to her, "Here, drink this and I'll take you home!"

Mu Yanxin hesitated for a moment. Something felt off. She felt that her sister-in-law, whom she had only met once, was being too nice to her.

Tang Yu urged, "Drink up, then I'll take you home!"

To drink or not to drink?
