Chapter 83: Wherever You Are Is Home

  "Unexpectedly, Murong Xiaozi is indeed formidable. He has foresight in everything. It seems like he knows everything. Listening to him is indeed correct."

  Leng Ni thought to herself, a hint of triumph rising at the corner of her mouth, a self-satisfied smile. Murong Xiao said it right, if you want to make Leng Xi thoroughly leave Ling Han, it's not enough to just drive away her people, what's most important is to drive away her heart, trample her persistence in the mud, let her never turn over again, this is the best trick.

  "Doctor Xiao, this is your reward. Thank you for your help."

  Just thinking about the back view of Leng Qi leaving alone in the hospital, Leng Nie felt very pleased. The smile at the corner of her mouth also became much more beautiful and relaxed. She took out two thick envelopes and placed them on the dinner table, using one finger to push them towards the man sitting opposite her, who was dressed in a suit and whom she called Dr. Xiao.

  Dr. Xiao took a glance at the two bulging envelopes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he reached out to take them, flipped open the envelope, glanced briefly at the thick red tickets inside, and contentedly put them into his briefcase.

  He gave Leng Ni a courteous smile. "No need to be polite, Miss Leng. It's been a pleasure doing business with you." He simply instructed a few nurses to escort Leng Ni into the abortion room, made some superficial motions with his scalpel, and then uttered a few false words, earning him as much money as he would make in a year. This was far easier than exhausting himself performing actual surgeries. It was profitable and didn't harm anyone's interests. Why wouldn't Dr. Xiao be delighted?

  Lenny replied with a faint smile. "Nothing pleasant. There won't be another chance for us to work together in the future. We don't know each other."

  Dr. Xiao's smile froze for a moment, then he nodded knowingly. "I know. We've never met before." This was an attempt to clear the air, afraid of being caught off guard. Dr. Xiao wasn't stupid either. He knew, of course. Since he had received his payment, there was no need to linger. "Thanks for lunch, Miss Leng. I should get going too. See you... oh, never mind, let's not see each other again..." His smile remained on his face, but it had changed in tone. He stood up, grabbed his briefcase and left.

  Leng Ni narrowed her eyes, let out a cold hum, and turned to look outside the glass window of the dining room. The tree shadows on the street outside began to twist before her eyes. Thinking about the meticulous plans she had made over the past few days and the benefits she had reaped, just thinking about it made her feel exhilarated.

  That woman from Leng Creek is really stupid. Does she think that the Leng family has nothing left? Doesn't she think about how abundant the Leng family's funds were in the past? Because of her father's greed, there are unknown assets hidden behind his back. How could it be that just because her father went to jail and the bank froze the Leng family's villa and accounts, they would have nothing left? Would her father be stupid enough to use his own name to openly open an account and deposit the ill-gotten money? He had already set up a civilian identity for himself and stored the money in another account.

  Mei Shan handed the card over to Leng Ni before she left the country, telling her to take it when needed. However, in order to avoid raising suspicions, she couldn't openly spend large sums of money. The money could only be used secretly.

  She pretended to be poor and pitiful in order to gain Leng Qing's sympathy, so that she could gradually get closer to Ling Han and Leng Qing, grasp their information, and then take action.

  Leng Xi and Ling Han are in cahoots, ruining the Leng family. How can Leng Ni swallow this? She wants revenge, she wants to avenge herself. She wants those two dogs to die rather than live.

  She had been observing Ji Xinmie and found that Ji Xinmie was getting closer to Du Shaohui. She thought that if Leng Han had something going on, Ji Xinmie would definitely tell Du Shaohui first, and naturally, Du Shaohui would also know.

  That woman in Lengxiang was actually pregnant with Linghan's child. She wouldn't let them be so carefree. So she took advantage of the opportunity when Ji Xinxin wasn't by Lengxiang's side and asked her to come out. After saying those words, even the fall was her own doing. The goal was to lure Lengxiang to the hospital's abortion room. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, she took Lengxiang's phone from her pocket. In the operating room, she sent a text message to Ji Xinxin: "Xinxin, I don't want the child anymore. I'm in the hospital getting an abortion. I'm scared, can you come and accompany me?" After sending the message, she deleted the record and turned off the phone. When they left the operating room, she pretended to hug Lengxiang and took the opportunity to put the phone back in her pocket, without anyone noticing.

  Subsequently, the development of things was indeed as she had expected. Only what pained her heart was that Ling Han actually rushed over in the first place. Was Cold Creek's woman really so important to him? She, Leng Ni, was the one he should have married. Yet he was so ruthless and cruel to her. She hated it. She was not reconciled to it; she just couldn't accept it.

  Lenny

  "Ah."

  While Connie was lost in her own thoughts, she became more and more enraged. As she sat there fuming by herself, her chest heaving with anger, someone suddenly tapped on her shoulder and called out her name. She let out a startled yelp, spun around abruptly, and saw that terrifying face. Her face instantly drained of all color, and she jerked backward, almost falling off the chair.

  "Be careful. Don't hurt my child." Xie Fei's eyes were quick and his hands were fast, he supported Cui Ni's body that was about to fall down, frowning with some worry.

  Xie Fei's hand grasped hers, and Leng Ni felt goosebumps all over her body. She shook him off in disgust. "Don't touch me. You'd better wash your mouth clean. Don't talk nonsense." Leng Ni glared back at him fiercely, stood up, and was about to leave.

  Xie Fei didn't speak quickly, tightly grasping her arm. "I was talking nonsense. I heard you're pregnant. Is it mine? That time at the nightclub, we did it so fiercely without a condom. When I woke up, I saw there was blood on the bed. Was it yours? Your hymen was broken by me long ago. How could there be blood again under Ling Han's body? This is all your conspiracy, right? You still want to go back to Ling Han's side."

  Xie Fei discontentedly expressed his doubts. That morning when he woke up, he saw the bloodstains and was stunned. His mind wasn't clear, so he didn't investigate Leng Ni further. As time passed, he also forgot about it.

  But yesterday he unexpectedly met Ling Han, who seemed to be in a good mood and brought up the topic of Leng Ni. He said that Leng Ni was his new favorite, and not only did he want her first time, but she was also pregnant with his child. Of course, Ling Han wouldn't say it so directly, but that's roughly what he meant.

  Xie Fei was confused at the time and fell into doubt. Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Leng Ni must be playing some tricks. The child in her belly must be his, Xie Fei's. So he wanted to find Leng Ni to verify.

  "Don't make wild guesses, get out of my sight, I don't want to see you." After hearing Xie Fei's words, Leng Ni instinctively felt a little scared, her skin was slightly cold. She panicked and pushed Xie Fei away, wanting to escape in shock. This man was her nightmare, seeing him made her feel like she was trapped in an ice cellar, her whole body chilled to the bone.

  He narrowed his eyes and watched as Leng Nie fled in disarray. Xie Fei became increasingly suspicious, with resentment and anger rising from the bottom of his heart. It was all because of Ling Han. The two women he had set his sights on had both fallen for Ling Han like moths to a flame. This was a blow he couldn't swallow.

  ……

  Murong Xiaoze sat leisurely in his own stronghold, playing with a transparent high-footed cup, his face calm and serene.

  "Young Master, why didn't you tell the Old Master that you've found your destined Young Mistress? That woman from Leng Creek..." A subordinate stood beside him, respectfully puzzled by Murong Xiao's actions.

  Murong Xiaozei smiled deeply. "You think the old master will willingly accept Leng Qing? Too naive. He would kill her without hesitation. Anyone related to the old lady, he would kill without hesitation. Do you know why he wants to fight with Ling Han for the Lingyun Group? His goal is to destroy the Lingyun Group, destroy everything that belongs to Ling Yun Tian. So it's not time yet. Don't forget our primary task is to get rid of Ling Han. Let the old master and Ling Han fight each other, use the old master's hand to eliminate Ling Han, this big trouble in my heart. Then everything will be easy. I just need to sit back and watch the tiger fight."

  Just get rid of that woman from Ling Han's side and he can freely show off his skills without worrying about hurting her. Mu Rong Xiao Zuo sneered coldly.

  "But the subordinate still doesn't understand. If you want to get rid of Ling Han, then Leng Xi is the best tool. Tell Master about Ling Han's weakness and Master can capture him easily..."

  "Idiot! Tell Old Master that the woman from Leng Creek is dead. What are you thinking about?" Murong Xiao suddenly became angry, and the cup in his hand smashed onto the person's body, shattering into powder.

  "Yes, yes, yes. I know I was wrong."

  "Don't mention Lengxi in front of me again. If Master finds out about this rumor, you'll be the first to die."

  "Yes, yes, yes. From now on, you're a mute."

  ……

  Ji Xin's house is small, but it's very tidy and has a girl's love for cleanliness. As soon as you enter the door, you will feel comfortable.

  Although it is so, but should not be nostalgic.

  It's just the beginning of autumn, and it's already the end of September. Leng Xi is wearing a simple white long-sleeved T-shirt, light blue jeans, and white canvas sneakers. His face is fair and clean, with black hair that falls to his shoulders like silk. He looks as simple and pure as an inexperienced high school student.

  She stood beside the cabinet, packing up her things.

  "Are you really going back to your hometown?" Ji Xin asked from behind her.

  "Yes." Leng Xi replied casually.

  Ji Xin Mo fell silent for a moment, then went to pack up her own things as well.

  Leng Xi didn't understand. "You're also going on a long trip."

  "Uh-huh, I'll go with you. I've heard that your hometown, Chengde, is very beautiful. I want to see what kind of air and scenery can produce such a pretty woman like you." Ji Xin said with a straight face, thinking to herself: How could I let you go alone? If Ling Han finds out, won't I be in trouble? Actually, she agreed to help Ling Han keep an eye on Leng Xi also because she felt that she owed him. The last time at the hotel... and helping Bai Yi Cheng deceive Ling Han... she felt like it was all her fault, so she wanted to make up for it as much as possible.

  When Ji Xin heard this, Leng Xi was stunned, forced a bitter smile, and didn't say anything.

  They sat on the train, a day and a half journey. Ling Xiu's body wasn't feeling well, she was a bit carsick. The scenery outside didn't interest her either. She kept her eyes closed, sleeping. Sometimes she really fell asleep, sometimes not, but still wouldn't open her eyes. Ji Xin Mian looked at her pale face, also unsure what she was thinking about.

  When they arrived in Chengde, it was already the third day morning. Leng Xi didn't go home but went to the cemetery instead. Ji Xin followed quietly behind him.

  She placed a bunch of small yellow flowers in front of grandma's grave. Leng Creek looked at Grandma's kind smile, pulled her cheek and smiled with a clever smile, still blooming with beautiful colors, but lost some carefree years, added some melancholy sorrow and maturity of the years. "Grandma, Creek is back. Where you are is home..." She touched her belly and couldn't help but get teary-eyed. "Grandma, Creek brought you a gift. Will you like it?"
