CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 339: VENTING ANGER BY SMASHING THINGS

"600? That’s quite generous!"

"This is nothing... Just wait till the wedding, it’ll be even bigger."

"Is what Old Zhao said true?"

"Definitely. Let me tell you, President Leng is no ordinary guy; he always..."

The two maids were counting money. The news about Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan getting their certificate had already spread throughout the entire manor, and everyone had received a red envelope.

Because of different positions, the amounts varied; some received thousands, others just a few hundred.

Seeing this, Shen Yiming didn’t react outwardly.

He thought to himself: Good gracious, everyone gets a share, and here I thought I was the only one.

...

Second floor, master bedroom.

Leng Lingxiao entered carrying a tray with a small pot and a bowl on it.

The moment he stepped in, Tang Xiaowan quickly put down her phone and hurriedly covered herself with a summer quilt, revealing only her head.

"Tangtang, did you fall asleep?"

Tang Xiaowan slightly curled her lips and looked tenderly at Leng Lingxiao.

"Not yet. Wow, that smells really good!"

Actually, she was already hungry.

Leng Lingxiao put down the tray and sat on the edge of the bed, lightly kissing Tang Xiaowan’s forehead. "Does your stomach hurt? Is it very uncomfortable?"

"Stomach pain?" Tang Xiaowan was caught off-guard and slightly taken aback, "Oh, yes, it hurts, it really hurts."

"Come on, sit up. Have some soup to dispel the chill, then get a good sleep."

Seeing how considerate Leng Lingxiao was, Tang Xiaowan suddenly felt a bit guilty, thinking she shouldn’t deceive him, even if what she wanted was reasonable, since they had got the certificate after all.

With that thought, her cheeks suddenly flushed.

"Tangtang, what’s wrong? You don’t have a fever, do you? Lie down; I’ll go call the doctor."

"No... no need, I’m fine."

"But your face... it’s so red!"

"Actually, I... it’s always like this when I’m here, don’t worry, I’m fine, I just need to sleep it off, no worries."

Tang Xiaowan stammered out her explanation, intending to come clean but at the last moment didn’t know quite how to phrase it, eventually downing the entire bowl of soup in one go.

Despite detecting a faint medicinal scent, she still kept a smile on her face.

Then, she ate every single dish in the little pot, favorite or not.

Regarding Tang Xiaowan’s pretend menstrual period, Leng Lingxiao still chose not to expose her. He quietly sat by the bed, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Tangtang, have a peaceful sleep.

Hopefully, when you wake up, the test results will be out too, and you’ll have found your mother.

Even if not, you still have me.

...

Jin City, Yishen Group.

Li Zishen had just left his office when he saw Chen Xin coming over, his expression complex, clutching his phone as if he had just survived a disaster.

A bad premonition rose.

"What’s wrong, Chen Xin?"

"Brother Shen, you... look at this."

[Congratulations are in order as the famous investor, Chairman Leng Lingxiao of Lingxiao Group, got married this morning in Chicheng. Reportedly, the bride is a university student, just twenty years old. Moreover, Leng Lingxiao has given 15% of his shares to his Little Wife as a celebration gift.]

This news quickly dominated the headlines, sparking discussions in the comment sections.

— OMG, they actually got the certificate?!

— And she’s just a college student! Only twenty! Rich people sure like them young; wonder what she looks like?

— This is definitely true love! He must really love his wife, so scary, that many shares!

"My god, he is really going to spoil his wife excessively! Among so many companies under Lingxiao Group, how many billions does 15% of shares amount to?"

"Ah, what a pity, guys. We’ve got no chance, it belongs to someone else now!"

"I’m curious, who is this little wife, a daughter from which wealthy family?"

"Didn’t the news report a while ago say that Leng Lingxiao brought a female companion to the Jiang Family charity evening? Could it be that woman?"

As soon as this comment was posted, it blew up the forum, quickly garnering many likes and even screenshots from that day were uploaded, but unfortunately, they were all of backs and it was unclear what the woman really looked like.

At the same time, blessings were also posted by netizens.

"Wishing them happiness and to grow old together!"

"Leng Lingxiao really is a good man. I hope his wife cherishes him!"

"Too sweet, blessings to them!"

Li Zishen didn’t finish reading the comments before he violently smashed Chen Xin’s phone.

A loud crash ensued instantly

It was clear that someone had deliberately released this, and Li Zishen, without guessing, knew it was Leng Lingxiao.

In Chicheng, without his arrangement, which news media would dare to blatantly report on his marital status?

It was a brazen show-off and also a warning!

Li Zishen’s anger was uncontrollable, although he knew that this day was inevitable, he still couldn’t accept it when it really happened.

Chen Xin, with furrowed brows, didn’t dare to step forward to dissuade him and could only quietly stay by Li Zishen’s side.

"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan..."

"How am I not good enough?"

"Why does it have to be him?"

Another person feeling the same was Jiang Kexin in Huang City.

Although the internet didn’t specify names, she knew that the university student was Tang Xiaowan, and what made her even more infuriated was that Leng Lingxiao had actually given 15% of his shares to Tang Xiaowan.

Compared to the complicated shareholding structure of Yishen Group, Lingxiao Group didn’t have so many complications; its structural clarity, with Leng Lingxiao owning 90%, gave him absolute say in the company, together with a vast industrial chain, thus the 15% allocated to Tang Xiaowan seemed very appealing.

With this, Tang Xiaowan had immediately become the second-largest shareholder of Lingxiao Group.

Leng Lingxiao had always been low-key, and this grand gesture of love was something Jiang Kexin, who had admired him since childhood, could not swallow.

Furthermore, her Jiang Family was facing a financial crisis, with many companies on the brink of bankruptcy.

She was filled with hatred, clenching her teeth in fury.

"I humbly went to borrow money; you wouldn’t see me, yet you turned around and gave the shares to her."

"Tang Xiaowan you little bitch, Brother Xiao should have been mine. Why did you suddenly appear and monopolize all his love?"

"The lady of Lingxiao Manor must be me! His wife... can only be me."

"I’m going to kill you; you must die!"

She smashed everything in her bedroom into a mess, throwing clothes and shoes everywhere.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter came.

Followed by a mockery tinged with drunkenness.

"My dear sister, who are you angry with now? I know... it’s Leng Lingxiao."

"Didn’t get the money, feeling embarrassed, huh?"

"Brother has told you already, they really don’t care to deal with you. Dad was right, you really have lost our Jiang Family’s face."

"Look at you! Better marry off early, might still be useful... Any later, I am afraid you won’t be able to marry at all!"

At this moment, already furious, the appearance of Jian Kede was like adding fuel to the flames.

She had been trying so hard, running around day and night, asking for help everywhere, but the deepest stings came from her family.

Mocked by her brother, disapproved by her father, ignored by her mother, she really was born into the wrong family.

"Get out, get out now, get the hell out!"

As Jiang Kexin finished speaking, she picked up a crystal box and violently smashed it at Jian Kede.
