Chapter 1295: Illegitimate daughter, so what?
"These are all Tang family matters, so we shouldn't discuss them. Gu Ning is Tang Yunfan's daughter, there is no doubt about that." Old Master Leng said. Although this was not a secret, it was not appropriate to discuss this issue in front of Gu Ning.
"Then she is either a stepdaughter or an illegitimate daughter!" Leng Shaojia blurted out.
"Shut up!" Upon hearing this, Old Master Leng immediately scolded. Although Leng Shaojia was right, it was too hurtful to say this in front of Gu Ning.
And what's wrong with an illegitimate daughter? The illegitimate daughter is also the granddaughter of the Tang family, the daughter of Tang Yunfan, and the apple of the eye of the Tang family.
"Isn't that what I said?" Leng Shaojia retorted unhappily.
"Yes, I am an illegitimate daughter, but so what?" Gu Ning readily admitted that she was an illegitimate daughter, because it was the truth and there was nothing to hide. However, she did not think that she was inferior because she was an illegitimate daughter. It was not important to her whether she had the halo of Miss Tang or not.
If it was important, she would agree to move her household registration to the Tang family and change her surname to Gu.
She is Gu Ning. She has to work hard and strive for the halo she wants. She doesn’t need anyone to give it to her.
"Illegitimate daughters are never allowed to be in public. If the Leng family marries an illegitimate daughter, wouldn't that be a huge shame?" Leng Shaojia said with disdain. After finding out that Gu Ning was an illegitimate daughter, he started to act arrogantly.
"Shut up!" Old Master Leng immediately scolded in a stern voice. Leng Shaojia was getting more and more outrageous.
As for the embarrassing thing Leng Shaojia mentioned, Old Man Leng didn't think it would happen. Even if it did, he didn't care. He liked Gu Ning as a person, not her family background.
Although Leng Shaojia was frightened by Grandpa Leng's scolding, he was unwilling to accept it and pretended to be doing it for the good of the Leng family: "Grandpa, I'm also thinking about the Leng family! The Leng family is the head of the four major families in Beijing! If those people knew..."
"If you say that again, get back to your room..." Before Leng Shaojia could finish his words, Old Man Leng yelled at him again. Leng Shaojia was so scared that he immediately fell silent.
"Grandpa Leng, don't be angry." Gu Ning immediately comforted him, then looked at Leng Shaojia and said nonchalantly: "You are right, illegitimate daughters have always had a bad reputation, but if you have the ability to stop it, then stop it."
"······" Leng Shaojia opened his mouth, but before he could make any sound, his mouth was suddenly blocked by a piece of meat flying across the sky. This was Leng Shaoting's masterpiece.
The fact that he hadn't said anything just now didn't mean that he wasn't angry. It was just that he had promised Gu Ning that no matter what happened, she would handle it herself.
But now, he couldn't listen anymore, so he took action.
This scene shocked everyone. Leng Shaojia was also stunned and unable to react for a while.
"Shaojia, how are you?" After Jiang Shuyuan reacted, she hurriedly took the meat out of Leng Shaojia's mouth and asked worriedly.
But before Leng Shaojia could respond, Jiang Shuyuan looked at Leng Shaoting and said with displeasure, "Shaoting, how could you do this!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will do anything for you." Leng Shaoting said coldly, emitting a terrifying aura. Not only did he intimidate Jiang Shuyuan, but everyone also felt the oppression.
Although Leng Shaoting was usually cold, he had never lost his temper with them, so they had never felt Leng Shaoting's anger. So now that they felt it, they realized how terrifying Leng Shaoting's aura was, and even Old Master Leng was affected.
You have to know that these people are all in high positions, and others have always been afraid of them.
Even the one who is high and mighty would give them some face and not put on airs when he sees them.
"Mom..." Leng Shaojia reacted and was frightened by Leng Shaoting's horrible appearance. He didn't dare to confront Leng Shaoting anymore and immediately sought protection.
"It's okay, Mom will accompany you back to your room to rest!" Jiang Shuyuan immediately comforted her. Knowing that Leng Shaojia would no longer be able to eat after what happened, she took her away from there.
Then, Leng Shaojia followed Jiang Shuyuan away.
"Girl, don't mind it! I have never had any bad thoughts about you. I can't wait for you to become my granddaughter-in-law!" Old Master Leng was afraid that Gu Ning would have bad thoughts because of this matter, so he immediately comforted her.
"Yes! Ningning, we like you very much and hope that you can become the granddaughter-in-law of the Leng family." Yu Ying also expressed her opinion.
"Yes, yes!" Leng Yuanzhen immediately agreed.
"Ms. Gu, I'm sorry. I didn't teach my daughter well, and I hope you will just ignore her." Leng Yuanqian also apologized. Although he didn't want Leng Shaoting to marry a wife with a background, this was not something he could control.
Although he also had the same idea as Leng Shaojia, thinking that it would be a disgrace for the Leng family if Gu Ning, an illegitimate daughter, married into the Leng family, the person with the greatest authority in the Leng family was still Old Man Leng, so he actually believed that even if he opposed it, it would be useless.
The most important thing is that even if he was unwilling in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, and he appeared to be a very good person, so he apologized to Gu Ning, a junior, for Leng Shaojia's recklessness.
In fact, people like Leng Yuanqian who are good at superficial work and can bend and stretch are the most popular people in officialdom, so he holds an important position now.
As for Jiang Shuyuan, although people say she doesn't know how to behave, she has never caused any serious unpleasant incidents with her colleagues at work, and she can do her job well.
But! She is said to be a good person, but at home, she is sarcastic and mean. She looks down on Leng Yuanzhen and his wife, and even their children. She is even more repulsive and hostile to Leng Shaoting.
People may all have two sides! Treat different people and things with different attitudes.
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart." Gu Ning said nonchalantly, but she really didn't care about this matter that much, because she didn't care about Leng Shaojia, so she didn't care about what she said.
Moreover, although Leng Shaojia's words were very targeted, they were also well said, and Gu Ning was still able to face reality.
Seeing that Gu Ning really didn't take it to heart, everyone felt relieved and continued eating.
Except for Leng Yuanqian, no one else was affected by what happened just now and everyone was having a great time.
Leng Shaojia finally came to his senses after returning to his room. However, he seemed to have forgotten the lesson he had just learned. He became angry and complained to Jiang Shuyan, "Mom, Leng Shaoting is too much. She even dared to block my mouth with her meat. My mouth still hurts!"
