Chapter 1876 1876: Speaking Frankly
Compared to Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm, Leng Mingqi's expression was very cold!
Cave Void Realm Third Turn!
Too weak!
How could he be worthy of my daughter?!
In Yunxiao Continent, strength is revered, and being weak is the greatest mistake!
As for that young master of the Leng Family, he still looked at Su Chen with disdain!
This young lady is still as foolish as ever, insisting on leaving the well-off Leng Family to run off to that worthless Shenfeng Dynasty!
Now, she even brought back this Cave Void Realm Third Turn man!
A man like this is practically like a cripple in the Imperial City; even if the Leng Family dragged out a random servant, they'd be much stronger!
"Alright, alright, Leng Ning, you just got back, you probably haven't eaten yet, let's go eat first!"
Aunt Zhang noticed Leng Mingqi's unpleasant expression and said with a smile.
Actually, Su Chen understood Leng Mingqi's attitude, probably misunderstanding his relationship with Leng Ning!
And his own cultivation obviously didn't catch the other's eye!
But Aunt Zhang's attitude made Su Chen feel a bit strange!
Just with a thought, he somewhat understood!
After a while, the group entered the main hall!
The hall was large, and the dining table was large as well, filled with a table full of dishes, many of which Su Chen had never seen before!
"Come, Su Chen, it's your first time here as a guest, eat a little more!"
Aunt Zhang said with a smile, preparing to serve Su Chen some food.
"Thank you, I'll do it myself!"
Su Chen politely declined.
"Ning'er, actually, I've found a good husband for you!"
Leng Mingqi spoke up after only eating a little.
"Father, I don't want to get married yet."
Upon hearing this, Leng Ning's face changed and she quickly said.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Leng Mingqi's face darkened as he said:
"Men should marry when grown, women should wed when mature; rest assured, the husband I've found for you will definitely satisfy you!"
Then, Leng Mingqi mysteriously smiled:
"It's a young master from the Gao Family!"
As soon as he said this, Aunt Zhang and her son's faces immediately changed drastically!
The Gao Family's status, ah, they are truly an established middle-tier family in the Imperial City!
Compared to the Leng Family, they're much stronger!
Aunt Zhang, who is currently this Leng mistress, was even taken aback!
Previously, she had heard her husband mention finding a good family for Leng Ning!
At that time, she thought it would be finding a young master from a similarly lower tier family!
Even then, she wasn't happy!
Why was she being so enthusiastic towards Su Chen?
Wasn't it to promote a relationship between the two of them?!
The lower Su Chen's cultivation, the weaker his background, the more satisfied she was!
But she never dreamed that Leng Mingqi would actually look to the Gao Family!
At this moment, Leng Xu's face also turned unpleasant!
On one hand, he couldn't stand Leng Ning doing well, and on the other hand, the more important reason, if she clung to someone powerful from the Gao Family, who would control the Leng Family in the future might be unclear!
"Husband, would the Gao Family agree to this?"
Madam Leng asked somewhat anxiously.
"Rest assured, the Gao Family has already agreed!"
Leng Mingqi's face showed a hint of a smile as he said:
"Thanks to some past connections between the Leng Family and the Gao Family, otherwise the Gao Family wouldn't have agreed!"
"Ning'er, ever since your mother passed away, I've always felt guilty towards you!"
Leng Mingqi sighed and said:
"In the future, when you marry into the Gao Family, I'll be at ease, and it's something I can relay to your mother!"
"Father, but I haven't even met that young master from the Gao Family, let alone have feelings!"
Leng Ning said.
She absolutely didn't want to marry anyone, especially not that young master from the Gao Family!
"I know you don't want to marry a stranger, but your father has already checked; that young master from the Gao Family, whether in appearance or cultivation, is definitely a top choice. Can your father harm you?"
Leng Mingqi took a sip of wine and said earnestly:
"As for feelings, they are a minor matter; feelings can be cultivated!"
"Remember, your mother and I were also arranged by our parents, and initially, we were a bit resistant. But look, didn't we have a good relationship and affection later on?"
At this moment, the face of the current Madam Leng turned somewhat unpleasant!
She said nothing!
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, even stiff!
"Father, I already have someone in my heart!"
Just then, Leng Ning spoke up.
She knew her father meant well, but she truly didn't want to marry now, especially to a stranger!
So, she could only risk everything!
As soon as she said this, the entire hall fell silent for a moment!
The sound of breathing was audible!
"Who!"
Leng Mingqi's face darkened to the point where it seemed water could drip from it!
In an instant, all eyes focused on Su Chen!
In their view, the person Leng Ning referred to was most likely this one!
"Who it is doesn't matter; anyway, I won't marry any young master from the Gao Family!"
Leng Ning said calmly.
Having lost her mother at a young age, even though her father cared for her, as the Family Head, how much energy could he spend on her?
And this stepmother has always shown some hostility towards her!
The coldness she felt in this home since childhood was a fundamental reason for her character!
"Boy, what is your relationship with my daughter exactly?"
Leng Mingqi shouted.
"Isn't my relationship with your daughter obvious?"
Su Chen said calmly.
"Ning'er, didn't you just say that you and this person are just friends?"
Leng Mingqi said coldly.
Before Leng Ning could respond, Su Chen already took over the conversation:
"What more needs to be said! Leng Ning, after all, is a woman, her cheeks are relatively thin!"
At the same time, he gently wrapped an arm around Leng Ning's slender waist!
Hearing this, the others believed it mostly to be true!
Because this was already their assumption!
Leng Ning felt Su Chen's action, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, then she looked at Su Chen!
She didn't expect Su Chen would admit to their relationship just like that!
She clearly understood that Su Chen was helping her, but still, her face couldn't help but blush!
Especially the large hand around her waist, which accelerated her heartbeat!
After all, she had never been so close to a man before!
But this expression seen by Leng Mingqi and the others only confirmed their relationship!
"Husband, I think the two of them are well-matched and compatible; since Ning'er herself likes him, we shouldn't force her too much."
The current Madam Leng gently persuaded.
Actually, her feelings at the moment were somewhat conflicted!
On the one hand, she also hoped to ally with the Gao Family; this way, the relationship between the two families would undoubtedly become much closer!
On the other hand, she hoped Leng Ning and Su Chen would be together, because she didn't see Su Chen as any threat to them, nor a threat to her child's status!
If Leng Ning marries into the Gao Family, that might not be the case!
These feelings were similar to when the Wu Family wanted to marry Ye Mei into the Situ Family in Yandu!
Fortunately, the Wu Family and the Situ Family had an agreement back then, emphasizing the relationship between the two families, as the Situ Family also needed the Wu Family to serve as their representative interests in Jiangnan!
It was also to rely on them!
But the Gao Family was different, the gap between a lower-tier and a middle-tier family was much larger than that, the Leng Family couldn't catch the Gao Family's eye!
Because of this, Madam Leng still inclined to marry Leng Ning to Su Chen, someone she saw as no threat!
