Chapter 529 Leng Hao Gets Angry
Chapter 529 Leng Hao Gets Angry
"Who your sister likes is her right; none of us have a say in it, and you shouldn’t pry too much." Upon hearing Leng Hao say this, Yuan Kun immediately understood Leng Hao’s intentions. However, he couldn’t possibly show that he was pleased. He still offered a warning smile to Leng Hao, but what he was thinking inside, only he knew. Now that he understood Leng Hao’s stance, the rest would be easy to handle. All he needed was a plan, and there would be no worry that Leng Hao wouldn’t act in haste to oppose Leng Mei. That would make things much simpler.
"But..." Leng Hao, feeling an increased fondness towards his senior brother upon hearing him speak like this, was aware that the senior brother was fond of his sister. Under such circumstances, for the senior brother to still speak in this manner showed the quality of his character. Any other man would never be able to react this way; not rushing to confront Lin Feng would already be commendable, let alone advising him not to take any action. Just for senior brother to be able to say such words, Leng Hao felt that no matter what, he must help senior brother and his sister get together. After all, senior brother was truly talented and virtuous!
However, just as Leng Hao thought of this and was about to mention something else, he was interrupted by the ringtone of Yuan Kun’s phone.
"Ding-dong! You have a text message!"
Yuan Kun, too, was delighted to hear the message alert. To avoid missing any message, he had deliberately set the notification sound to a voice tone when he messaged his friend in Tianhai. He hadn’t expected to wait this long for it. He looked at the contents of the message, and his heart suddenly blossomed with joy, yet on the surface, he appeared to frown in concern for Leng Mei.
"Lin Feng is a washed-up nouveau riche from Tianhai, once very influential in Tianhai. But after he ran into trouble, his family’s fortune plummeted. Now, he doesn’t even count as a second-rate young master in Tianhai. It’s said he is currently teaching at Yingbo University, with no special status, and his financial situation isn’t very good. He lives in the suburbs of Tianhai City, and although it is a villa, it’s the kind that could be easily bought for two or three million."
After reading it, Yuan Kun remained silent, as if contemplating something. This made Leng Hao beside him feel very puzzled. What happened to the senior brother? He was just talking normally, and now he suddenly furrows his brows. What kind of message could make the senior brother change his demeanor so quickly? Leng Hao really wanted to know the content of the message.
"Senior brother, what’s the matter?" Unable to hold back, Leng Hao finally asked Yuan Kun, hoping to understand what was really going on. Senior brother was always smiling; what could make him suddenly frown? Something important must have happened.
"Do you really want to know?" Yuan Kun, seeing Leng Hao’s expression, knew Leng Hao was curious. This was exactly what he wanted. He had already planned what to do in his mind but maintained a conflicted facade on the surface.
"Yes, just tell me," urged Leng Hao, growing even more curious about the message content upon seeing Yuan Kun’s troubled look. Without hesitation, he responded to Yuan Kun’s words, eager to know what happened.
"Alas... did you know, my friend from Tianhai has looked into Lin Feng’s background. This Lin Feng is nothing but a down-and-out young master. Although I don’t know how with his superb medical skills he treated Chief Elder Meng, he is in essence just an ordinary French teacher with no money or family background. So his approach to your sister must definitely have ulterior motives; your sister has clearly been deceived. Have a look for yourself."
Yuan Kun, seeing Leng Hao’s reaction, didn’t drag it out any longer. Sighing and shaking his head, he spoke as if he was genuinely concerned about Leng Mei. But in his heart, he was determined to have Leng Hao, this naive young man, mess up the affair concerning Leng Mei. With such information in hand, there was no way Leng Hao would remain calm about it. After speaking, Yuan Kun handed his phone to Leng Hao, gesturing him to read the content himself, which also avoided any suspicion of falsehood.
"What!" Leng Hao, after hearing Yuan Kun’s words, felt an immediate displeasure. He took the phone Yuan Kun handed over, glanced over the content, and felt even more annoyed. He thought senior brother’s words were absolutely right; Lin Feng’s approach to his sister must have had a purpose. What should he do now? In terms of status and social standing alone, the gap between him and his sister was too wide, and he was leagues below the senior brother. He could not let Lin Feng be together with his sister no matter what!
At that thought, Leng Hao’s expression darkened suddenly because this was not the outcome he wanted at all. What merits did Lin Feng have to deserve his sister? Even if he had exceptional medical skills, none of his looks, family background, age, or personality were a match for his sister. So...
"Junior Brother, if I’m not mistaken, this Lin Feng is trying to climb up the Leng Family ladder. He’s definitely doing it on purpose to get close to your sister," Yuan Kun, upon seeing the change in Leng Hao’s expression, roughly understood Leng Hao’s thoughts and was secretly pleased. Leng Hao really was too naive, but his current mindset was exactly what Yuan Kun needed. With this in mind, Yuan Kun once again spoke to Leng Hao with a tone of regret, not minding fanning the flames at this moment. Having the fire stoked was just what he wanted.
"Big Senior Brother, I know what to do now!" Leng Hao, hearing Yuan Kun’s words, immediately categorized Lin Feng as a gold-digger pursuing his sister. Yes, Lin Feng was nothing but a destitute young master now, without any credentials to pursue his sister. And he’s even much younger than her; what normal man would choose a woman older than himself? So, as Big Senior Brother said, Lin Feng must be intentionally getting close to the Leng Family, intentionally getting close to my sister.
This is unacceptable! Absolutely not!
Just now, inside the room, Leng Hao had observed his grandfather and sister’s attitudes. Both of them seemed to have a very favorable impression of Lin Feng. He didn’t know what kind of tricks Lin Feng had used to deceive Grandpa and his sister into valuing him so highly. His ability to play the charming young man must indeed be on point to have fooled Grandpa and his sister to such an extent. He must have gone to great lengths!
Although Lin Feng’s medical skills are miraculous and saved Grandpa, and today he even treated Grandpa Meng, that was still useless. The Leng Family’s debt to Lin Feng could be compensated in other ways; under no circumstances could they allow him to be with his sister. He simply wasn’t worthy of her. A once glorified young master now down on his luck, in Capital City, there were numerous outstanding heirs from every family, and Big Senior Brother was among the best of them. None of them had succeeded, so why should Lin Feng be with my sister? The very thought is laughable!
With these thoughts, Leng Hao’s heart grew cold. He had already decided to confront Lin Feng and give him a talking to, making sure Lin Feng knew his place and stayed away from his sister.
"What do you know? Don’t do something foolish. Your sister will be heartbroken, and besides, it’s her choice. We have no right to interfere," Yuan Kun shook his head, looking very conflicted and helpless as he spoke to Leng Hao, but these words were just pouring oil on the fire. Yuan Kun knew well what Leng Hao was like, and no matter what he said, he couldn’t ruin the noble image he had painstakingly built up in Leng Hao’s mind. That was why Yuan Kun appeared so helpless.
Yuan Kun was very pleased inwardly. Leng Hao was really following the path he had envisioned, which was perfect. He was curious about what would happen next but knew he couldn’t witness it, as it was an internal family matter that he couldn’t be part of.
"Others have no right, but I do! I’m my sister’s own brother!" Upon hearing Yuan Kun’s words, Leng Hao admired him even more. To think of his sister’s feelings even under such circumstances – Big Senior Brother truly had her best interests at heart. He genuinely wanted her to be happy, and someone like that was hard to come by. It seemed Big Senior Brother was the most suitable match for my sister.
Thinking this, Leng Hao became even more indignant, doubling down on his resolution to warn Lin Feng off and to matchmake his sister with Big Senior Brother. He was now stuck in a narrow mindset, convinced that apart from Big Senior Brother, who had been waiting patiently, no one else deserved his sister!
"Forget it, I think it’s better if you don’t do that. Your sister will truly be heartbroken. I don’t want to see her sad. I’ll leave now," said Yuan Kun as he reached the door and sighed deeply, seeming incredibly unwilling and conveying concern for Leng Mei. This was all an act by Yuan Kun, who had already deduced that Leng Hao will certainly seek out Lin Feng immediately. To avoid suspicion of instigating, he made a show of leaving. Yet Yuan Kun knew very well that this would have the opposite effect on Leng Hao – it was all part of the plan.
"Big Senior Brother, goodbye," Leng Hao bid farewell as he watched Yuan Kun leave, standing by the door.
Yuan Kun did not respond, simply waved a hand behind him and walked away alone. His silhouette seemed exceptionally sad, part real, part pretend, but convincingly genuine. He truly did not want Lin Feng to get close to Leng Mei and ruin his scheme. However, he was confident that with Leng Hao intervening to drive Lin Feng away, there wouldn’t be any issue. After all, Leng Mei doted on her brother so much. The next scenes promised to be interesting, and with that thought, a cunning smile crept onto Yuan Kun’s face, unseen by anyone...
"Lin Feng!" Leng Hao called out coldly, turning to re-enter the Leng Residence, his mind already racing with ways to make Lin Feng understand that he should stay away from his sister.
