The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Leng Shuyue’s face flushed red at Leng Yuan’s words.

She wished she could go up and cover his mouth.

’Are these things that can be said out loud?’

’Doesn’t he know not to air the family’s dirty laundry in public?’

’Where have Leng Yuan’s manners gone?’

”Leng Yuan, do you know what you’re saying? I thought you were just acting in the heat of the moment back then. Besides, I never agreed to it.”

Leng Yuan looked at Leng Shuyue calmly, his tone unwavering.

”Back when the second and third branches of the family took over the house, you rushed back from the city as soon as you heard the news just to accuse me. I made things clear to you right then and there.”

”Today is my wedding banquet. If you want to eat, then stay. If not, then leave. If you keep this up, I don’t know what else I might end up saying.”

The crowd was eating up this juicy gossip.

So back then, when Leng Yuan was being bullied, not only did Leng Shuyue not help him, she even accused him of being in the wrong?

Was there something wrong with this woman’s head?

Who was the actual victim here?

No wonder Leng Yuan cut ties with her. If it were them, they’d do the same.

Leng Shuyue never expected Leng Yuan to say it all out loud. Being stared at by so many people, she wished she could just faint on the spot.

She had been pretty since she was a child and was spoiled by her family. After marrying into a powerful family, she became even more arrogant.

Never in her life had she been so humiliated.

Leng Shuyue instantly lost control of her temper. She opened her mouth to scold Leng Yuan, but was pulled back by Liu Xinxin, who was standing beside her.

She pressed her lips together, her eyes fixed on Gu Jiaojiao.

’I thought an educated youth sent to the countryside would look no different from a village girl. After all, working the fields ages you quickly.’

But when Gu Jiaojiao appeared, she was as beautiful as someone who had stepped right out of a painting—impossibly so.

Dressed all in red against the gray and white winter day, she was like a splash of brightness, lending color to the world.

The young woman’s complexion was fair and dewy. Her hair was done up in a beautiful bun, fastened with a single wooden hairpin. Paired with her red silk bridal gown, she exuded a natural nobility, looking every bit like someone who had been lovingly pampered her whole life.

Liu Xinxin was beautiful herself, but she had never seen anyone this stunning in her entire life. Her expression immediately darkened.

The first moment she saw Leng Yuan, she had been captivated.

’No woman seemed worthy of standing beside him.’

However, when Gu Jiaojiao walked to Leng Yuan’s side—the man tall and the woman exquisitely beautiful—they were a surprisingly perfect match.

Liu Xinxin pressed her lips together tightly again, an inexplicable hostility rising in her heart.

With Liu Xinxin tugging at her sleeve, Leng Shuyue managed to refrain from saying anything nasty.

Her expression, however, was incredibly foul.

Her own nephew, Leng Yuan, had publicly exposed her past actions, humiliating her.

Ding Jiangchuan’s expression was just as foul.

Everywhere he went, he was treated with the utmost respect. He never thought he would be so thoroughly humiliated here at the Qingshan Team.

Moreover, he had known nothing about them severing ties. He couldn’t help but look at Leng Shuyue.

”Shuyue, what is all this? Weren’t you supposed to have come back to help Leng Yuan? How did that turn into you accusing him? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

Leng Shuyue pressed her lips together.

’It wasn’t like I was wrong.’

’But she wasn’t a fool; she knew she couldn’t admit it right now.’

So she simply kept her mouth shut.

But silence is often taken as admission.

Everyone present was stunned.

Ding Jiangchuan couldn’t believe his wife had done something so stupid and not even told him about it.

He was furious, but he was, after all, accustomed to hiding his emotions. He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his attitude.

”Leng Yuan, your aunt surely didn’t mean it,”

he explained lamely.

’He had originally hoped to get acquainted with Xia Qiuming through Leng Yuan, especially since Leng Shuyue had always gone on about how much she doted on her nephew.’

’But now, after making this trip, he discovered that the man had already cut ties with them long ago.’

’Forget about gaining any benefits; it would be a win just to not offend him now.’
