“I’ll talk to Grandma,” Leng Linli said.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm always so useless." Bai Lian lowered her head, her voice filled with deep apology.
Leng Linli didn't speak again, his gaze towards Bai Lian was indifferent.
He knew that Bai Lian must have suffered some injustice outside, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly run back to find him.
"You must be tired too, let me take you home first." Leng Lin's voice was low and sharp as he looked at Yan Zhi.
Bai Lian followed Leng Linli's gaze, only to find Yan Zhi at the end of her line of sight. A flash of jealousy crossed Bai Lian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Bai Lian was unwilling, but had no other choice but to obediently nod: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say, brother."
Anyway, she's already back. As long as she's not sent abroad, she'll have plenty of opportunities.
Looking at the seemingly innocent Miss Bai Lian who had suddenly appeared, Wen Shichu secretly reminded President Leng of the purpose of his visit to Jiang Taigong Yu Mansion tonight: "President Leng, aren't we going in? We're already at the door."
Looking at Yan Zhi's happy expression, Leng Linli said in a deep voice, "Let her be happy for a while longer."
If he really went in, Yan Zhi probably wouldn't be able to smile anymore. Thinking of this, Leng Linli felt a little bitter.
Returning empty-handed, Wen Shichu was extremely disappointed. He felt as if the patient had clearly arrived at the hospital entrance, but suddenly... died.
Just one step away, but Miss Bai Lian ruined everything. Wen Shichu felt that Miss Bai Lian was too clingy to her brother. When her brother and sister-in-law had a conflict, she came to him at this crucial moment. She really didn't have much sense of propriety. No wonder the old lady wanted to send her abroad. However, he was an outsider, so it was not his place to say such things.
Years of work had long since made Wen Shichu unable to show his emotions. He respectfully asked, "President Leng, shall we take Miss back to the old mansion or back to Crescent Bay?"
"Let's go to the tribute garden," Leng Linli said, gradually withdrawing his gaze and stepping out of Jiang Taigong's fish mansion.
Inside the car, Bai Lian kept her eyes down, looking extremely aggrieved, but her eyes gleamed with calculation.
Bai Lian raised her eyes and looked at Leng Linli. Her eyes were glistening with tears, and her voice carried a hint of pleading: "Brother, I've been out of school for two years now. Can I go to work at the company? I majored in secretarial studies in college. I can help you... I don't want to be a freeloader anymore."
Leng Linli frowned slightly, glancing at Bai Lian: "Nobody called you a parasite."
Bai Lian lowered her voice: "But if I do nothing, Grandma will think I'm a useless person."
“You’re overthinking it. Grandma has never thought that way. Even if you never work your whole life, the Leng family can still support you,” Leng Linli said calmly.
"But I also want to be self-reliant, like my sister-in-law," Bai Lian said firmly. She really wanted to go to Leng Linli's side so that she would have more opportunities.
When Yan Zhi was mentioned, Leng Linli's heart softened, and he agreed: "I will arrange the position."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lian was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Okay."
"Shichu, go there tomorrow and transfer the Gongyuan Garden to Bailian's name." Leng Linli closed his eyes to rest, his voice revealing undisguised exhaustion.
Wen Shichu paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Mr. Leng."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lian was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Thank you, brother!"
Leng Linli kept his eyes closed and said calmly, "From now on, Gongyuan will be your own home. If you don't want to go back to the old house or my house, then go to Gongyuan. No one can send you abroad anymore. This is the confidence that the Leng family gives you."
"Yes." Bai Lian nodded, her eyes filled with joyful tears. Her brother still loved her.
Wen Shichu could understand Bai Lian's joy. Gongyuan was in a good location and was very valuable. Even if Bai Lian didn't want to live there in the future, she could easily buy a place for at least 20 million yuan. President Leng was really generous.
Wen Shichu sometimes felt envious. He hated that he wasn't a woman, and he hated that he wasn't as good at crying as Miss Bai Lian. With just a few tears, he could have everything. This wasn't just about saving ten or twenty years of struggle; it was about saving a lifetime of struggle!
**
Early in the morning, Yan Zhi was getting ready to leave for work when she received a gift from her grandmother.
Before she could even open it, Grandma's video call came through: "Zhizhi, it's your third uncle's grandson's one-month celebration tonight. Come over with Xiao Li tonight. I had someone send over the dress; it should be here by now. Open it and see if you like it. Look your best tonight and come meet your relatives."
"Grandma, I think I'll pass. I'm socially awkward in crowded places," Yan Zhi said, making an excuse. Since she was getting a divorce, she didn't want to go and meet relatives, so as to avoid the awkwardness of the new Mrs. Leng meeting everyone in the future.
"You just need to focus on looking beautiful. Grandma will handle everything else. If you don't come, Grandma will come to your company to pick you up after get off work," Grandma said cheerfully, her face kind and gentle.
Yan Zhi knew her grandmother was kind-hearted. She was really afraid that her grandmother would wait for her at the company gate in her luxury car or even go to the company to block her. Then her colleagues would all know that she was Mrs. Leng.
Yan Zhi had no choice but to agree: "...Okay, Grandma, you don't need to go through the trouble of picking me up, I...I'll come over."
Grandma Leng smiled broadly, her face kind: "Alright, then that's settled. Remember to come over early, I haven't seen you for days. Come and talk to Grandma, my dear granddaughter-in-law, bye!"
Grandma finished speaking and hung up the phone with a smile.
Yan Zhi sighed as she looked at the black screen on her phone.
Grandma seemed to want everyone to know she was Mrs. Leng, which was a real problem for Yan Zhi, who was frustrated but couldn't argue back.
Aunt Nan helped open the gift box, and Yan Zhi was stunned when she saw it.
This isn't just one dress; it's a whole bunch of dresses.
Yan Zhi casually picked up a cheongsam. The cheongsam was embroidered with various intricate patterns, exquisite and elegant, and the gold thread inlaid on it made it clear that it was expensive.
