Chapter 1655: Chapter 1674: Not Her
“Since when? Since when did you start betraying me?” Leng Peixi prided herself on her ability to control and manipulate people’s hearts. Although Leng Ran was viewed a bit higher than other younger members of the Leng Family in her eyes, she ultimately underestimated them.
She always saw her as just another young member of the Leng Family like Leng Tianqi. Moreover, what she did went beyond this. Feng Sha’s performance and his words towards Leng Ran, seemingly relationship-related actions, were all instructed by her.
The goal was to completely control Leng Ran and test her sincerity from the side.
She had great confidence in Feng Sha’s abilities, and Feng Sha had helped her with many similar things before, never failing once.
Leng Ran fiercely shook off Leng Peixi’s hand, nearly vomiting in disgust, “Since you deprived me of the right to attend college, using my brother to force me to take over the Dark Street business. Without me, how could the Dark Street business that the Leng Family has inherited for hundreds of years be so thoroughly swept clean by the police? You think that by having Feng Sha occasionally show me kindness, I would fall for it like that brainless Leng Tianqi? You’re too full of yourself.”
“Is that so, is that so! So it seems that you deliberately orchestrated the enmity between you and Jiang Nanfei and He Shasha, just to deceive me! You really made it seem so real, full of struggle and pain. I couldn’t believe you had such acting talent.”
“I indeed did it on purpose, but they didn’t know. Otherwise, how would you be reassured? How would you trust me?”
Leng Peixi murmured to herself, calming down after a while, puzzled, she asked: “You are also a member of the Leng Family, why would you do this? This doesn’t fit the character and behavior of the Leng Family members.”
Much of what Leng Peixi said was true; members of the Leng Family were inherently different from ordinary people, and all these years, no traitor had ever emerged from the Leng Family.
Leng Ran was absolutely the first, and would also be the last.
“Haha! Maybe I have a bit more conscience.” Leng Ran looked blankly at her own hand, a hint of disgust flashing through her eyes. Only she knew the excitement and thrill she felt when dealing with those dark, dirty things.
At those times, those emotions were indeed real, and she had indeed thought those things.
There was indeed something twisted in her that only a member of the Leng Family could have, but she hated those things even more, hated the Leng Family. The more she came into contact with them, the more painful her inner struggle became. On one side, her brother was being threatened, and she couldn’t even see him.
On the other side was a perilous situation, but she ultimately chose her conscience.
Furthermore, she genuinely did not want to become estranged from Jiang Nanfei and He Shasha, or become enemies with them. During these days, He Shasha always looked at her with a hostile gaze, which caused her genuine pain.
“You!” Leng Peixi wanted to get angry as before, but she quickly suppressed her inner fire, speaking coldly: “Very well, very well indeed, another one smarter, the young people nowadays are indeed stronger than we were then.”
For some reason, Leng Peixi was unexpectedly not angry at this moment. Perhaps she was truly struck by Huo Beijiang’s tactics and Leng Ran’s betrayal and countermeasure.
Not far away stood Ning Di, Yu Xiaoxiao, and Yin Nan side by side. The situation had progressed to a point where there was no longer a need for them to do anything further, nor was there a need for them to intervene. The rest could be left to the police.
A hint of displeasure appeared on Yin Nan’s handsome face, “If not Leng Peixi, then who?” He acted to avenge Huo Dongfeng. But now everything about Leng Peixi had become clear, everything she did was evident, except Dong Feng’s matter was not her doing.
