Chapter 3342: No self-respect?
Li Mochen only felt frustrated, unable to help in any way. At the same time, he also felt that Leng Xiaoyao was heartless. He came all the way here just to see her, but they had to separate after being alone for a while.
"Then I'll take you home." Li Mochen said. He knew that what happened tonight did cause her trouble, so he didn't stop her from leaving.
"I've driven the car, so I can go back by myself. If you go back with me, you'll have to take a taxi back, which is so troublesome!" Leng Xiaoyao refused, not wanting Li Mochen to run around.
"No trouble." Li Mochen said with an attitude that could not be denied. Leng Xiaoyao did not refuse anymore and let him go back with him.
"When are you going back?" Leng Xiaoyao asked.
"I just got here and you're asking me about going back. It sounds so disheartening." Li Mochen said uncomfortably.
"I need to know this so that I can arrange my time!" Leng Xiaoyao was speechless. Why did he feel that Li Mochen had become a different person now, a little childish? Where did his cold personality go?
"It should be until the day after tomorrow!" Li Mochen said.
"Then I'll come out to see you around ten o'clock tomorrow, and we'll go to my technology company." Leng Xiaoyao said.
"Okay." Li Mochen responded.
When they arrived outside the community, Li Mochen got off the car and took a taxi back.
Watching Li Mochen going back alone, Leng Xiaoyao felt indescribably uncomfortable in his heart. His back looked a little depressed.
As soon as Leng Xiaoyao returned home, he went to Leng Changyuan and started crying.
"Grandpa, you don't know, that old man is so annoying. I was having dinner with a friend today, and Mr. Li happened to come to me for something. Because my friend was there during dinner, it was difficult to talk. After dinner and my friend left, I went to the park alone with Mr. Li to talk about business. He wanted to buy some jade from me as a gift for the elders in my family, and then I happened to meet Old Man Zhang. As soon as he came, he asked me if Mr. Li was my boyfriend, and then said that I was still young and had a boyfriend. His tone was very unfriendly. I respected him as an elder, so I responded to him very politely, saying that he was not a boyfriend, but just a friend, and we were talking about business. Old Man Zhang didn't believe it, and he also said that I was not serious or something, which really pissed me off."
"What? Is Old Man Zhang just bored and has nothing to do? How dare he slander my granddaughter..." Leng Changyuan was also very angry when he heard Leng Xiaoyao's words.
Leng Xiaoyao said that he and Li Mochen were just friends. Leng Changyuan had no doubts and did not think there was anything wrong with Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen walking alone in the park.
If they really had some shameful relationship or had done something shameful, why wouldn't they stay away? Why were they walking in the park so openly? Especially since Leng Xiaoyao said that Li Mochen came to her to buy jadeite, he believed Leng Xiaoyao's words even more.
"Yaoyao, don't be angry, Yaoyao, don't be angry. If grandpa meets that old man Zhang, he will definitely scold him severely to vent his anger for Yaoyao..." Seeing Leng Xiaoyao so aggrieved, Leng Changyuan felt heartbroken and was so angry at old man Zhang that he gritted his teeth.
"Yeah!" Leng Xiaoyao responded, as if he had just calmed down.
In fact, she didn't care what Old Man Zhang said outside. What she cared about was Leng Changyuan's mood and face.
Although he would be angry if he told Leng Changyuan these things, he would be even angrier if he didn't say them and let Leng Changyuan misunderstand that she was really like what Old Man Zhang said.
After returning to the room early, Leng Xiaoyao chatted with Li Mochen on the phone.
The next morning after breakfast, Leng Changyuan went out for a stroll. Although he often went out for a stroll after breakfast, he played chess and chatted with a group of familiar old people.
But the main reason I went out today was to look for Old Man Zhang.
When I arrived at the senior citizen activity center in the community, I really saw Old Man Zhang, and he was talking about Leng Xiaoyao.
"Aren't you all praising Old Man Leng's granddaughter? I saw her walking in the park with a man last night! She's not very old, but she's already in love. Tsk tsk! What's the point of being good at studying? Don't you even have a self-respect?" Old Man Zhang said maliciously. He became furious when he thought about how Leng Xiaoyao had disrespected him yesterday.
Everyone knew what kind of person Old Man Zhang was, so few took his words to heart.
However, there are still a few people who just listen to rumors and look down on others. After all, not everyone has a positive attitude to accept the excellence of others.
Their grandchildren are about the same age, and what they can show off now are basically their grades. At first, their grandchildren had good grades and they could show off, but after Leng Xiaoyao's grades improved, they could no longer show off, because no matter how much they showed off, they could not compare to Leng Xiaoyao!
So although some people praise it, there are also people who are jealous.
When Leng Changyuan heard what Old Man Zhang said, he was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. He yelled at him: "Old Man Zhang, what are you spouting bullshit here! What evidence do you have to prove that they are in love? It's just that Mr. Li asked Yaoyao to do something for him, but how come it becomes so dirty in your mouth! How dirty is your mind? You think everything is dirty!"
"Hmph! What serious business can a student have to discuss?" Old man Zhang snorted coldly. He did not feel guilty when he saw Leng Changyuan.
Hearing this, many people expressed their agreement.
"How come students have no serious business to discuss? My Yaoyao knows a lot of things. He is nothing like those stupid grandchildren in your family who can't even read well!" Leng Changyuan glared at him. If it was the previous Leng Xiaoyao, he would not doubt what old man Zhang said, but for the current Leng Xiaoyao, he did not doubt it at all.
"You..." Old man Zhang was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe. Leng Changyuan's words really touched his sore spot: "You said they have something serious to discuss. Tell me, what serious matter could they have to discuss?"
"They have something serious to discuss, why should I tell you? But you, you come out and talk nonsense without knowing anything, don't you think defamation is a crime?" Leng Changyuan said.
"You..." Old man Zhang choked. Of course he knew that defamation was a crime, but he just felt that Leng Xiaoyao did not respect himself.
"And do you know who that Mr. Li is? During the Mo family banquet, Mr. Li showed up and treated even the head of the Mo family politely! The one following him was the young master of the Xiao family in Haicheng! Are you making up stories about him because you think your Zhang family is too stable?" Leng Changyuan said this with contempt.
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Several of them also attended the Mo family's banquet, so they naturally knew about Mr. Li. They also talked about this matter, so even those who didn't go knew about it.
