Thus, during his eting with Ren Fanghua, Ling Xuejiu deliberately revealed his family background to gain her favor, and the effect was as he had anticipated. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about soone like Leng Xuan. He also looked into it; Leng Xuan had no significant background or powerful support, just so military service, which was nothing to Ling Xuejiu. If it weren’t for wanting to maintain the deanor of a gentleman in front of Ling Xue, he would have had Leng Xuan thrown out long ago.
Leng Xuan himself was also a bit of a headache at this mont. He knew that Ren Fanghua had no fondness for him and even a bit of an aversion to his living together with Ling Xuejiu. So when Lin Muran said it was an arrangent by Madam Ling, he didn’t feel it was his place to decide otherwise. It seed he needed to find ti to have a good talk with Ling Ao and the others, he thought to himself. Hence, he said, "If that’s the case, then you should stay in the villa for now, and I’ll talk about this issue with Madam Ling. I’m going back to my room now. Uncle Liu, after you go back, rember to send my regards to Uncle Ling and the others."
However, just as Leng Xuan was about to head to his room, he heard Lin Muran’s indifferent voice, "I’m sorry, Brother Leng, but since there’s only one room downstairs and the second floor is the young lady’s boudoir, your room has been taken by . Your belongings have been moved to the storage room; you can go check if anything is missing."
Upon hearing this, Leng Xuan imdiately felt his temper flaring. This guy was too presumptuous. Holding back his anger, he said coldly, "Then where do I stay?"
Lin Muran ignored the anger in Leng Xuan’s eyes and smiled, "Uncle Liu bought a villa next door, didn’t he? You can stay there."
Suppressing his anger, Leng Xuan asked, "Uncle Liu, who gave him permission to take over my room?"
Uncle Liu gave a wry smile; from the conversation earlier, he had also beco unhappy with Lin Muran. However, due to the consideration of their statuses, he refrained from saying much. Now that Leng Xuan had asked, he replied bluntly, "Regarding that, I really don’t know."
Leng Xuan turned his gaze to Lin Muran and said, "So it seems you took it upon yourself, then?"
Lin Muran glanced at Leng Xuan and waved his hand, "Brother Leng, don’t forget, this villa belongs to the young lady. She had no objections when I moved in, so what’s the point of your quibbling?"
At that mont, the two beautiful won bustling about in the kitchen seed to sense that the atmosphere in the living room was not quite right and couldn’t help but co out to see what was going on. Seeing them, Leng Xuan imdiately asked, "Young Lady, did you agree to let him stay in my room?"
Before Ling Xuejiu could answer, Li ngjie cut in, "We didn’t agree to it! It was just that Auntie Ling said he should stay in the villa to protect Ling Xue, so he ended up in your room. It was only temporary, anyway, and since Auntie Ren had approved, we didn’t say anything. Is there a problem?"
"I understand," Leng Xuan nodded. It seed that Lin Muran was relying on Ren Fanghua here. He turned to Uncle Liu and asked, "Can you get in touch with the Old Master?"
Uncle Liu shook his head, "I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult."
Leng Xuan continued, "Alright then, trouble you to make a call to Uncle Ling and tell him, since he has hired so many people to protect the young lady, my staying here is of no use, fare thee well." Saying this, he grabbed his bag and headed straight out the door.
