Chapter 65: The Insect of Special Concern?
Just thinking about it made Lanetta feel a bit dislike towards Leo.
Michele saw this and her brows furrowed even more deeply.
He followed the path the mechanical insect had taken and walked directly to the main gate, where he immediately saw Leo standing there.
Michele had been severely beaten and scolded by Ranetta these past few days, and was already full of grievances. When she saw Leo appear, her eyes instantly reddened.
"Waaaaah... Lord Leo..."
Michele cried with tears streaming down her face, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
Leo, who already liked Michele, immediately hugged the boy and comforted him when he saw him crying so pitifully, saying, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson!"
Michele hugged Leo, her face full of dependence, "Yes, it's because Letekar angered Father recently, but he just left, Father... Waaah..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.
It was Letecar who provoked Ranetta and then ran away, and now he has to bear Ranetta's wrath.
Leo's brow furrowed even more involuntarily.
He pursed his lips and asked casually, "Is your father still very angry?"
His visit to Lanetta's house was partly to see Michele, but more importantly, to discuss the fruit and vegetable business.
His father had been urging him about this for quite some time.
Michele had clearly said last time that he would speak to Ranetta on his behalf, but now that Ranetta hadn't made a move, he was naturally getting restless.
He just happened to hear that the royal military seemed to have surrounded Lanetta, and it had been three days now, and the outside world still didn't know what the royal family was trying to do.
So he used the excuse of visiting Michele to see what was going on.
If nothing is amiss with the Lanetta family, he will naturally continue to discuss the cooperation between the two families with Lanetta.
Michelle, unaware of Leo's thoughts, assumed he was simply concerned for him, and thus said, "Although Father is still very angry, he's calmed down considerably because of my words of comfort, but... but I might not be able to go back for the time being..."
He had no intention of going to stay at the Berg family's house with Leo.
Although both families were noble, the treatment they received was worlds apart.
Although he can only drink nutritional supplements, these supplements are also divided into different grades.
Not to mention that everything he lives and uses at Lanetta's place is definitely superior to everything at Berg's house.
Furthermore, he still had many other things in his room that other male insects had given him, and he couldn't bring many of them to Berg's house.
He didn't want to compromise himself, so of course he could only keep delaying going back.
Unexpectedly, Leo didn't say anything when he heard this, but just patted him on the back to comfort him.
Michael breathed a sigh of relief and was just thinking about how to get rid of Leo when he heard him speak again: "I heard that the royal family sent female soldiers to guard Raneta. Has something happened?"
Michele's body visibly stiffened for a moment, but thankfully he didn't ask it in front of Ranetta.
Otherwise, he would definitely have been beaten up because of Leo's words.
But if we don't tell Leo, it will be even more troublesome if he goes to ask Lanetta.
His mind raced for a moment before he feigned reluctance and said, "Yes... Lord Sam accidentally slept with one of the Lanetta family members..."
He glanced at Leo, then lowered his voice and said, "Lord Sam has been drugged by insects, but they can't find anything, so they called in the royal insects to investigate. It just so happened that Prince Eli came to the house at that time..."
His words were a mix of truth and falsehood, and so explosive that it was hard for Leo not to believe them.
He had previously thought that the Lanetta family had done something that the royal family could not tolerate, which was why the royal family sent insects to demonstrate. He never expected that the truth was like this!
Seeing that Leo believed her, Michele secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "So you must never mention this to Father..."
"Yes, don't worry. I happen to have some things to discuss with Lord Lanetta. You can take me in to see him."
As Leo spoke, he straightened his clothes and then made a move to walk through the door.
Michele's eyes widened instantly. He knew perfectly well what Leo wanted to talk to Lanetta about—it was nothing more than a matter of cooperation between the two companies.
The Leo family has never been involved in the fruit and vegetable business before, and now they want to use the Lanetta family to do so. This would have been fine before.
But now the Lanetta family's business is also in trouble, and if the Berg family gets involved, things will only get more chaotic!
Absolutely not!
Thinking this, Michele rushed forward and blocked Leo's path. "Lord Leo, listen to me, my father..."
“Michele Ranetta.” Leo suddenly spoke, looking at Michele with a cold expression. “I need to discuss a collaboration with Mr. Ranetta today. If you don’t have anything important to say, you’d better not stop me.”
Michele was clearly startled by Leo's frightening act.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, what else did Leo not understand?
Michele had no intention of helping their family at all, but fortunately, he was now the lord of Michele, and coming and going in and out of Lanetta was no problem for him.
Since Michele won't help him, he can go by himself.
With that thought in mind, Leo stopped paying attention to Michele and went straight to Laneta's reception room, led by the mechanical bug.
Michele stared at Leo's departing figure for a long time before she came to her senses.
That shouldn't be the case.
That shouldn't be the case.
Leo should have cherished him more. No matter what he said or did, he should have believed him and listened to him.
Michele suddenly became agitated and started biting her thumbnail.
Why did it turn out like this?
Tan Chi is like this, Leo is like this, and even Timothy is like this...
He had originally thought that once he contacted Dr. Froot, everything would be resolved, but now Dr. Froot was completely ignoring his messages.
No, if this continues, he'll turn back into that sub-female that any insect can trample on.
Michele opened her personal terminal and browsed through the contact worm. Her gaze fell on Lord Tan Chi, and her eyes darkened for a moment.
Tan Chi had been the best to him before, so he would make an exception and give him another chance.
He didn't go to Tan Chi because he was trampled by other insects after leaving Tan Chi.
He just felt a little sorry for Tan Chi, who had been kind to him before, and didn't want to hurt him too much, so he decided to give him another chance...
As Michele thought this, she seemed to suddenly gain confidence.
He took out his personal computer and typed a long string of messages to Tan Chi.
Tan Chi was resting his chin on his hand, picking through the items in front of him, when several messages popped up on his personal terminal, all highlighted in red.
"You set up... a bug under special attention for Michele?"
