Leng Tianxiao looked at the paper in front of him and slowly took it.
Actually, shedding tears in front of strangers was something that would never have happened before.
But now, hearing about what my younger sister went through...
Having said everything she needed to say, Qi Jiu, who was about to get up and leave, sighed as she looked at Leng Tianxiao, whose expression was still not good.
"Ruo Ruo understands life better than you do."
She smiled as she watched the person opposite her pause. "You should know a little about me now, but you didn't see the look in Leng Ruo's eyes when she met that heavy-duty murderer that day."
Her slender fingers toyed with the teacup, slowly.
"She thought I was just an ordinary student. The moment I appeared, I saw panic, even despair, in her eyes."
She was no match for the murderer; she felt that if she died, neither would she. Perhaps that's why she was so eager to improve herself.
These words were not originally within the scope of what she was supposed to say, but she understood that if she didn't say them today, Leng Ruo, that blockhead, probably wouldn't say them either, and her brother might never understand.
Although they would support Leng Ruo unconditionally, if they understood each other, there would be no conflict between them.
Consider it a favor to Leng Ruo.
Sure enough, as soon as he uttered those words, Leng Tianxiao's expression changed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
That's all I have to say. If Ruoruo isn't here, I won't stay any longer.
Seeing Qi Jiu get up, Leng Tianxiao immediately realized what was happening and stood up from his seat.
"I send you."
The two people had just come downstairs one after the other when they saw two somewhat hunched figures in the lobby on the first floor.
They were wearing Tang suits, and judging from that, these two people were not ordinary people.
They looked to be quite old, and their commotion quickly attracted the attention of the two people on the first floor.
"Young Master?"
Leng Tianxiao nodded, and was about to see Qi Jiu out when he heard another voice behind him.
"Young Master, who is this gentleman beside you?"
Qi Jiu immediately stopped and looked back. She saw two elderly people opposite her, dressed in Tang suits, staring intently at her.
There was caution, probing, and even some hostility.
"This is Miss Shen, Qi Jiu."
Leng Tianxiao silently stood in front of Qi Jiu, blocking most of the view of the two people opposite him.
Is this to protect Qi Jiu? No, ultimately, this action is simply to protect the two people on the other side, to prevent them from getting into unnecessary trouble.
Leng Tianxiao was naturally aware of Qi Jiu's abilities.
"Young Master, don't you know that the Leng family doesn't receive guests easily?"
An elderly man dressed in a black Tang suit looked rather displeased. He snorted coldly at the person behind Leng Tianxiao, his dissatisfaction written all over his face.
Seeing his elders' attitude, Leng Tianxiao couldn't help but feel worried for the Leng family. Were they going to push the Leng family into a fire pit?
He subconsciously turned around and glanced at Qi Jiu.
The little girl was looking at him with a smile on her face, as if waiting for his next move.
"Second Elder, the guards outside have already informed me. Besides, Miss Qi came for Ruoruo's sake, so she can't be considered an ordinary guest, can she?"
Leng Tianxiao's face fell instantly, and he immediately went against the so-called Second Elder.
He knew perfectly well whether it was better to offend the two elders or to plunge the entire Leng family into crisis.
Looking at the scene before her, Qi Jiu subconsciously thought of what Leng Tianxiao had said when she first arrived here.
They disagreed.
It seems the internal strife within the Leng family is quite serious.
It turns out that the Leng family wasn't as united as they seemed on the surface; Leng Tianxiao had brought her to the study to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Ruo Ruo?" The Second Elder suddenly smiled.
"Even if Young Master is lying, can't you find someone reliable? You and I both know where Ruoruo is right now. I know Miss Shen and Ruoruo go to the same university, but what could possibly be going on? What could Miss Qi possibly know?"
The two people opposite him had nothing but mockery and disdain in their eyes.
Leng Tianxiao looked at them, and his handsome face instantly darkened.
What he hates most is seeing his elders in the family with such disdainful expressions. It's like they don't respect him at all!
Did the Leng family think they were superior because they had connections on the international stage before? Ridiculous! The Leng family doesn't have that kind of ability anymore!
"Elder, your words are too disrespectful. The reason why our Leng family has fallen to this state is simply because we can no longer make a living internationally. Our reputation in City A is not even as good as that of the Shen family."
"you!"
The Second Elder's eyes widened in surprise, as if he hadn't expected Leng Tianxiao to say such a thing.
"Tianxiao! How can you talk like that! We're family! How can you side with outsiders!"
Leng Tianxiao laughed, a mocking laugh.
A family? The Leng family is now rife with infighting; where is the semblance of a family? It's truly foolish of them to be so arrogant and domineering now, relying on their past prestige!
"Third Elder, am I wrong?"
Seeing that Leng Tianxiao was still thinking about unleashing a barrage of attacks, Qi Jiu suddenly appeared from behind him.
What's the point of saying anything now? It's better to reveal the truth. Why waste so much breath? These fools won't understand Leng Tianxiao's good intentions.
"Does the Second Elder look down on my Shen family?"
The Second Elder opposite him snorted coldly, looked at Qi Jiu who was smiling brightly, and turned his face away. "This is the Leng family, not the Shen family. I'm afraid you don't even have a place to speak here."
He laughed again as he spoke. "Looking down on the Shen family? If this were before, I wouldn't even know what the Shen family was!"
Seeing that the Second Elder was unrepentant and even became more and more outrageous, Leng Tianxiao slowly withdrew from the battlefield.
Speak up, say whatever you want, he's not going to care about this anymore! Foolish!
As long as the final result can save the Leng family, that's fine.
"Oh? Is that so? Does the International Security Bureau have a place to speak? I'm here on behalf of Ruoruo to relay a message to Leng Tianxiao. Ruoruo is in an international assassin organization, while my organization has free access. Does that mean we have a place to speak?"
With just one sentence, he startled the second and third elders on the other side three times.
They shed their previous arrogance and looked at Qi Jiu with scrutiny. Time passed, but they couldn't figure anything out in the end, so they could only look to Leng Tianxiao for help.
Unexpectedly, Leng Tianxiao simply turned his head in another direction, pretending not to see it.
Second Elder: "..."
Third Elder: "..."
Qi Jiu seemed to have lost patience and put the sunglasses from her collar on her face.
