A Rong didn’t need to look at Leng Ran to know what she was thinking. He raised his hand and ruffled her hair, “Little girl, you still have much to learn! The way you are now won’t do–you’d be sold and still help count the money!”
After A Rong spoke, a seriousness appeared in his eyes, and his voice grew colder, “I know you’re not reconciled to being manipulated and threatened by others. But right now, you’re too weak, too naive. If the Leng Family didn’t have Leng Peixi, you would be chewed up without a trace left.”
“Without your aunt, you wouldn’t survive! I hope you can quickly abandon your naive thoughts. Choose the path that is most beneficial to you, and don’t be foolish at a critical moment.”
Finally, he murmured in a very low voice, “Otherwise… the current Leng Peixi will be your future.”
Regrettably, his voice was very low, and Leng Ran’s mind was elsewhere, so she didn’t hear him.
Leng Ran, annoyed, pushed his hand away and said crossly with a cold expression, “Mind your own business! Since you know it’s a trap, why walk into it?”
“This is called a ‘known trap’ strategy. Bei Jiang has laid out his stance openly, but your aunt knows it’s a trap and still decides to walk right into it,” A Rong said gravely as he looked at Leng Peixi upstairs, his eyes filled with seriousness and a resolute stance in the face of death.
He was ready.
“She could have avoided going,” Leng Ran felt a bitter hatred for Leng Peixi’s obsession, abnormality, and madness. Yet, she was ultimately her own aunt and indeed was protecting her now. Watching as Leng Peixi walked into her own death was something she still couldn’t bring herself to do.
“Stop aunt! Don’t let her go,” Leng Ran’s tone carried a plea.
A Rong looked at Leng Ran unexpectedly, surprised that she was softer-hearted than he had imagined. This wasn’t a good thing. The softer her heart now, the colder it would become later, the more she cared about others now, the more she would resent them later.
“It’s useless!” A Rong had long known Leng Peixi couldn’t forget what had happened in the past, especially not about Linong.
Now that she knew that Bei Jiang was her son, and that this son wanted to kill his own mother for his rival, how could she possibly remain calm?
It would be strange if she didn’t lose her mind!

The Fu Family was located in the city center. During the day, Yi Ming had taken Jing Tong to the compound, making a spectacle of himself. In just one afternoon’s time, everyone in their circle knew about it. Yi Ming had to attend a gathering spontaneously, and it was filled with business people.
Yi Ming, who had always been held in high esteem wherever he went, tasted mockery for the first time.
Bei Jiang’s demeanor during the day was a signal. It told everyone that they could disregard the Huo Family’s stature.
Having been successful in business for many years and used to having his way, Yi Ming had offended quite a number of people behind the scenes. Usually, with the Huo Family as his powerful backing, and the strength of the Fu Family itself, he was an untouchable colossal figure, and generally, no one dared to touch him.
Now it was different, having lost the Huo Family’s support and even having offended them. His business rivals, like sharks that smelled blood, were already baring their teeth.
