Chapter 1185: Chapter 1184 Cooperation

“Hello, I’m glad to meet my sister’s classmate here.”

Looking at Zhuanzhuan’s smile, Leng Ran’s entire body bristled with sweat, and the cold winter wind howled into his pores.

It was only after Shi Cin gently tugged at her clothes from behind that she snapped back to reality.

“Hello, Jiang Zhuanzhuan.” Leng Ran suppressed her emotions and nodded distantly to Zhuanzhuan before striding into the living room.

Leng Peixi wore a faint smile at the corners of her mouth and quietly scrutinized the two of them. Upon Leng Ran’s entry, she pointed to a seat opposite her, “Sit down! Tell me, how did today’s operation go? You hadn’t returned before I made a bet with Zhuan. She said you couldn’t possibly succeed. But I had faith in you, after all, you are the niece I personally trained.”

Leng Ran’s face turned ashen, and she apologized, her head bowed low, “I’m sorry, aunt, I let you down.”

The smile on Leng Peixi’s face slowly solidified; her voice coated with a layer of frost, “Did the operation fail?”

“Yes!” Leng Ran’s back had never bent as low as it did today.

She had been forcefully brought back by Leng Peixi and was also forced by Leng Peixi to do the work. Initially extremely reluctant, she later came to terms with it, although in her heart there remained a sense of arrogance similar to her disdain for Leng Tianqi.

Even though she was no different from Leng Tianqi, because it was her aunt forcing her to take over the Leng Family, she felt inherently superior. But now, that so-called pride was utterly shattered in the presence of Jiang Zhuanzhuan.

“Useless!” Leng Peixi, enraged, kicked over the tea table in front of her, and the living room filled with crashing sounds; each one seemed to strike Leng Ran’s heart, sharply scraping her eardrums.

“You’re worthless, failing to accomplish anything after so long; what use do I have for you?” Leng Peixi pointed at her nose and scolded, “Don’t think just because you bear the Leng surname, you are superior.”

Leng Ran’s face turned deathly pale, her pallor bloodless. Leng Peixi’s words struck her head like a heavy cudgel.

“Aunt…” Leng Ran barely began to speak when Leng Peixi gripped her throat; she couldn’t utter another word, a suffocating sensation overwhelming her. At that moment, she truly believed her aunt wanted to kill her.

She had no rationality, no hesitation, and certainly no such thing as familial love.

“Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to kill you,” Leng Peixi, her breath heavy with the scent of perfume, came closer and said word by word: “I gave you so many chances, yet you truly overestimated yourself, neglecting me, Leng Peixi.”

Leng Ran’s face turned a suffocating shade of blue, yet she still desperately said, “Aunt, I dare not. I will try harder. Please give me one more chance.”

Zhuanzhuan sat on the couch, watching Leng Ran with a smile, her eyes having an indescribable madness, uncanny. Her hands crossed, fingertips lightly tapping, she did not forget a polite nod as she met Leng Ran’s eyes.

But Leng Ran read something utterly humiliating in her gaze.

Jiang Zhuanzhuan was saying, “Look! You’ve begged for mercy. From now on, it’s like your spine has been broken, your knees shattered. For the rest of your life, you’ll be like a dog, crawling on the ground begging, achieving only your master’s pity.”

“Hmph! I’ll give you one chance,” Leng Peixi harshly threw Leng Ran to the ground, dusted off her hands, and sat back on the couch.

No one around dared to speak, not even the usually joking Feng Sha, who stood solemnly at the door.

“Leng Ran, since you handle things so slowly, I will assign you an assistant to help you,” Leng Peixi switched to a satisfied smile, her tone becoming kindly as she patted Zhuanzhuan’s shoulder, murmuring softly: “Zhuanzhuan, I’ll be counting on you from now on.”
