Chapter 4: Silver Fox
The second master Leng and second madam went back to their residence, they still could walk straight, even their eyes that were looking at their daughter were floating. All these years, the whole Leng family has been in awe of Old master Leng. Even Leng Yan, the eldest son of the family, who was most valued by the master, did not go against him. But just now, their daughter talked to this old man about the terms. The point is… it turned out to be true!
“Yue… Yue’er.” The second master looked at his daughter straight in her eyes. He was pinched by the second madam secretly and finally returned to his senses. He coughed softly, “Yue’er, how can you agree to it? It’s about your whole life. L-let me think of a way…”
“Father.” Leng Sa shook her head, “What can you do? If I ask you to leave the Leng family with your mother and Xiaofeng, do you think it’s alright? If so, then we will not only leave the Leng family, but also Yong city, and maybe even… the Nanliu province.”
The second master lowered his head weakly, “It’s all because your father is incapable.”
The second madam held her daughter’s wrist and sobbed with red eyes, “Who in Yong city doesn’t know what happened to the Fu family? It’s very wrong of you to marry in this way!” Even if it’s only two or three years, my daughter will have to leave hometown, and maybe I won’t be able to see you for the rest of my life.” The second madam couldn’t help crying, “Who did we provoke? It wasn’t our family that asked the Fu family to get engaged back then. Even if it’s the Lord, …this is too much!”
Leng Sa sighed and patted the second madam on her back, “Mother, don’t worry. This matter… is not necessarily the worst outcome.”
“Could it still be a good thing?”
Leng Sa said, “Even if I cancel my marriage with the Fu family this time, do you know whose family grandfather will marry me off to next? When that time comes, even if you don’t agree, the same problems will still exist. On the contrary, with the Fu family… If I can live in peace with young master Fu, I’m the wife of young master Fu, and no one can bully me. Or just as Lord Fu said, after two or three years, we can just make a rumor that the young madam of the Fu family died, and where can’t I go after I leave Yong city? By then… Xiaofeng will be able to look after himself as well.”
“But your whole life…” The second madam frowned, only thinking that her daughter was still young, and that she didn’t understand these things. How could a woman be so unlucky in her life?
Leng Sa sneered, “What about my whole life? Mother, I’ll be 18 in half a year. Not to mention after two or three years, even five years later, I’ll be twenty-three. I have hands, feet, education and money. Can I not support myself? Besides, can Xiaofeng ignore me when he grows up in the future? I already talked with my grandfather about this. In the second half of the year, he will send Xiaofeng to Yong city middle school. Although he can learn something in the private school, it’s still better to go to a normal school. And father, grandfather promised to give the second house to you. You need to think carefully whether you want to manage it by yourself or not. If you don’t want to run it yourself, it’s time for you to get a serious job. In fact, it’s not that I can’t understand the old master, after all the whole Leng family is depending on him. He’s nearly 70 years old, how long can he be relied on?”
The second master Leng was very ashamed, “Yue’er is right. It’s all because father is incapable… Don’t worry. I will do well and teach your brother well in the future, so you will have your father and brother to rely on in the future.”
Leng Sa smiled, “Okay, when the land lease is delivered, father, think about it first, and I can also help you figure out an idea.” In fact, it’s not like she had not made any suggestions in the past two years, but her father had been like this as far as she could remember, and she’d long been used to it. If it is not because of the present situation, he would’ve just ignored the problem and smiled through it.
At this moment, he finally felt the pain after he realized that he couldn’t even protect his daughter.
Leng Sa didn’t mean to blame her parents. This was the year of the transition. Some people walked forward, while others were left behind in the era. The Leng family was the latter, relying on the reputation of the emperor’s teacher, and holding on to that old glory. Her father was the second son of the Leng family. He didn’t need to inherit the family business and he never lacked anything. Having a strict and arbitrary father, he naturally nurtured in this way. He had a mild personality, a good temper, a right mind, and felt enough by being nice to his wife and children.
The second madam grabbed her handkerchief, gritted her teeth while her eye were red, “You can rest assured, Yue’er, mother will prepare your dowry!” Her look was as if she wished that she could bite off a piece of meat from the Leng family for her daughter.
Leng Sa said, “I have already taken a lot of things from grandfather just now, mother, please ease off.” After all, this was just her mother venting.
Looking at Leng Sa, the second master could not help but hesitate, “How could the fourth young master of the Fu family do such a thing, how can there be such a big fuss?” Even if Zheng’s daughter is pregnant, it’s not impossible to secretly try to withdraw from the marriage. How could he make it known all over the city? Although his reputation will be damaged in any case, there is a difference in who spreads the news, isn’t it?
Leng Sa smiled and said, “Well… it is naturally offensive, and he can’t spread it by himself, right?”
“Who’s this cruel person?” The second madam didn’t know whether to gloat or blame the person behind this matter. If it wasn’t for the sudden news of Zheng Ying being pregnant, who knew what disgusting things fourth young master Fu would do to get out of marriage? They were not on guard, so maybe Yue’er’s reputation could get destroyed. But now… Her daughter wanted to marry the young master Fu, and it seemed that it was no better than having the marriage canceled.
Leng Sa shrugged, “Who knows, but with his temper, he should have been beaten long ago.”
The second master and the second madam looked at their daughter and said in their heart, “Yue’er is very angry. This temper… she has a good temper, and with this temper, she won’t be easily bullied!”
Leng Sa came out of his parents’ room and strolled along the corridor. She noticed that there were several vague eyes watching her, which seemed to be a mix of sympathy and pity.
Leng Sa looked up at the sky outside the window with a faint smile.
Actually, it was not necessary.
She was not the real Leng Mingyue. Three years ago, Leng Mingyue accidentally drowned not long after she got engaged with fourth young master Fu.
After being rescued, Leng Mingyue had become Leng Sa when she woke up.
She was Leng Sa, the Silver Fox from the Fox Den of the National Security Special Operations Organization. She still remembered that she and Lan Meng were trapped in order to save the Blood Fox and the White Fox. The last two of them were sent to the sky by the Blue Fox along with the monsters in the whole warehouse. After waking up again, she became Leng Mingyue who had just fallen into the water. She and Lan Meng would definitely not be able to survive, but she hoped that those two were okay.
Among the five girls in the Fox Den, Leng Sa was the most plain one.
It was not that she’s not good enough, but she was the most normal one.
Green fox was an orphan, according to her own boast, the boss brought her back from the back streets, and she was a backstreet bully since childhood. Blood fox was born in the army. Several generations of her family have been in the army, originating from a poor peasant background. The blue fox family is a scientific research boss. Although they don’t know how a family full of high IQ talents produced such a simple-minded single-celled creature, it may be the legend that things go against the extreme. Of course, the blue fox is also a genius in some ways, worthy of the Lan family’s genes. Green Fox once thought that the reason why Lan Meng was so different was because she was genetically modified by her family’s scientific research leaders.
As for the white fox, it is said that she is a lineal descendant of some profound family, and was their heirloom.
In contrast, Leng Sa’s mother was doing business, and her father was a college teacher, which made Leng Sa barely a rich second-generation.
Every rich second-generation youth had a ‘chuunibyou’ dream. Leng Sa also didn’t grow up according to her parents’ plan.
TLN:Chuunibyou – particularly thinking that one has special powers that no other person has
She had a far superior hearing and vision since she was a child. When she was in high school military training, she could hit the bullseye easily with a regular handgun The instructor came to her when she was a sophomore in senior high school. Leng Sa didn’t think much about it and went with her. It is said that the silver fox is cold, but it’s not. She’s just not interested in most things.
After entering the training camp, there were too many talented people around, which made Leng Sa interested. But she was a sniper, most of the time regardless of training or task, she was lonely, sometimes she lay down all day alone in the field. The first time she came home from the training camp, her parents thought that she had language barrier or autism, so they wanted to call a psychologist for her.
Leng Sa didn’t know why the once good world became bad, but she thought she had done everything she could do. Even if she was dead, she had a clear conscience. Her only regret was that she was destined to make her parents sad. Fortunately, she still had a younger brother, hoping that he could be the magic wand that could save the world and they could be safe.
Leng Sa was still very happy to live again, after all, she hadn’t lived impatiently even with the two of them.
Although second master Leng and his wife were weak and incompetent, they really loved their children. Leng Feng was still young, but she was much more clever than her brother. After three years, she had started to have some real affection for her “family”.
As for whether to marry the eldest son of the Fu Family or fourth son, there wasn’t much difference in Leng Sa’s eyes.
She did not have the ambition to dominate the world, nor did she have to surround herself by others, and be envied to be above all women with jealousy and hatred.
Isn’t it just living a life? How can’t a life be lived?
The difference is… It’s immoral to hit the disabled.
Tsk, it’s troublesome!
AUTHOR NOTES: Tomorrow, the male lead will be on stage, and a small story will be presented first for a welcome. Muach~
