Leng Family, Cold Autumn

Click! The phone hung up!

Just then, an anxious voice came from inside the wooden cabin.

"What's wrong? What happened to Murong?"

A figure ran out from the cabin, the middle-aged man's dignified expression showing a hint of panic.

He was the current head of the Gu family, Gu Yan's father - Gu Tianming.

Hearing the sound of breaking glass, he hurried out.

Su Murong saw him and waved excitedly: "Tianming, it's great! Our son has finally gotten over Shen Wan'er!"

!!

"What did you say?!"

Gu Tianming walked up to Su Murong, dumbfounded by her words.

What? You've gotten over Shen Wan'er??

Then what was the point of me arguing with you every day and making our relationship so tense?!

And besides! The one who said they would scold you to your senses was Su Murong, but I ended up being the bad guy?!

Thinking of this, Gu Tianming's expression towards Su Murong became a bit resentful.

Seeing her husband's face, Su Murong immediately frowned and her face darkened: "What are you thinking in your mind?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing. So honey, why did little Yan get over her?"

Gu Tianming, his thoughts exposed, coughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.

Seeing this, Su Murong was too happy about the good news from Gu Yan to bother with Gu Tianming. She excitedly said: "Oh, it's that childhood betrothal with the Leng family."

"Since it was arranged by our dad, the girl's side should be fine... Uh, Tianming, what's with that expression?"

As Su Murong spoke, she looked puzzled at Gu Tianming, whose face was gradually turning pale and panicked.

He finally came to his senses, covered his face, and said: "It's over! Why does this kid keep falling for stranger and stranger women?!"

"That betrothed girl from the Leng family... she's... she's..."

Su Murong became anxious and quickly asked: "She's what??"

"She's blind!! Alas!"

Gu Tianming put down his hand and sighed.

Well, it seems the relationship between father and son won't be mended again.

"Ah!"

Su Murong was also stunned when she learned this fact.

No way, son. You just got over Shen Wan'er, and now you're onto a disabled person?!

But! But she had already promised Gu Yan to handle this matter.

This...

Su Murong and Gu Tianming exchanged a glance, both revealing a bitter smile.

Gu Tianming sighed, waved his hand, and said confidently: "Forget it, knowing that kid's personality, when he sees the girl is blind, he definitely won't agree to this marriage."

"He'll most likely choose to cancel the engagement after meeting her in person. We'll just have to give the Leng family some compensation then!"

Hearing this, Su Murong also felt it was a good plan, so she nodded: "I guess that's all we can do for now."

......

.......

Three days later, at the Leng family residence.

In a bright and airy room.

A young woman with closed eyes sat at a desk. She was like a vivid painting, exuding a unique charm.

Her aura was fresh and elegant. Although she couldn't see the colors of this world, her beauty was unaffected.

She had silky black hair, smooth and glossy, gently draped over her shoulders. Her face was full of soft curves, with delicate features and skin as white as snow.

She wore a light, elegant dress, its skirt swaying gently, emitting a faint fragrance.

This person was the eldest daughter of the Leng family - Leng Qingqiu!

She expressionlessly ran her hands gently over the book on the desk, a book specially made for the blind.

To make the hidden enemies lower their guard, she had gone so far as to destroy her own eyes and become a disabled person.

"Five years, I can't believe five years have already passed," Leng Qingqiu murmured to herself.

Her voice was cool and pleasant to hear. Once, countless young talents in Jianghai City had crowded at her door just to hear her speak a single word.

But now, times had changed. The Leng family was no longer the Leng family of the past, and Leng Qingqiu was no longer the Leng Qingqiu of before.

Just then.

Click!

"Second Young Miss, you can't just barge into the Young Miss's study like this..!"

"Get out of my way! I'm so angry! I must talk to my sister about this matter!"

Accompanied by arguing voices, the study door was roughly pushed open.

At the same time, a figure with dyed yellow hair walked in.

Without even thinking, Leng Qingqiu knew who it was.

She calmly continued to feel the knowledge on the book's pages while saying without turning her head: "Ling'er, what's the matter?"

Leng Ling'er was the second daughter of the Leng family and Leng Qingqiu's younger sister.

However, when she entered the study and saw Leng Qingqiu, her angry expression immediately softened. She ran over to Leng Qingqiu's side.

Pouting, she reached out and hugged Leng Qingqiu's head, pressing it against her flat chest and nuzzling: "Sister! The Gu family is too much!"

Leng Qingqiu was cold and distant to everyone else, but she had endless patience for her sister Leng Ling'er.

She sighed, breaking free from Leng Ling'er's embrace, and calmly asked: "What about the Gu family? They shouldn't have any connection with a small family like ours anymore."

In the past, the Gu family and the Leng family did have a sweet period, but unfortunately...

Thinking of the events of that year, Leng Qingqiu's heart was filled with murderous intent.

The Gu family, although there was no clear evidence that they were involved in the events of that year, was still among Leng Qingqiu's suspects.

If she found out they were involved...

Leng Ling'er didn't notice her sister's unusual state and said helplessly: "Ah!! That's exactly the problem!"

"The Gu family arranged a childhood betrothal with grandfather years ago, and now that Gu family young master is coming to discuss this marriage!"

"And the betrothed girl is you, sister!"

As the words fell.

Leng Qingqiu fell silent.

The room became completely quiet.

No matter how much she thought, she couldn't have imagined there was still such a matter?

Come to think of it...

When the Leng family was still a top family, grandfather seemed to have mentioned to her that he had arranged a marriage for her.

But now... their Leng family was no longer the Leng family of the past.

That marriage arrangement...

Meanwhile, Leng Ling'er was still crying beside her: "Sister! I don't want you to get married! Don't marry someone else! Waaah! You're my only sister!"

Listening to Leng Ling'er's words, Leng Qingqiu found it amusing. Given the current situation, how could the Gu family possibly be interested in her?

"Stop crying, the young master of the Gu family isn't coming here to marry me."

Leng Qingqiu shook her head, immediately causing Leng Ling'er to pause: "Huh? It's not..."

Before she could finish, Leng Qingqiu stood up, picking up the cane leaning nearby. She said calmly: "That's right."

"If I'm not mistaken, that so-called Gu family young master is probably coming to cancel this engagement."

But this is for the best.

Leng Qingqiu was calm inside. Since the family incident, she had lost all interest in romance. Since destroying her own eyes, she understood that she could never be like a normal girl, nor could she enjoy life like one.

In this life, she had only one path - revenge!

As long as Ling'er was safe and sound, that was enough!

On the other hand, when Leng Ling'er heard Leng Qingqiu's words, she became upset again: "So you're saying, he's coming to break off the engagement?! How dare he! Just a mere male fish!"

Leng Ling'er's indignant words made Leng Qingqiu sigh helplessly: "Alright, let's go downstairs and wait. Who knows what kind of show they'll put on to break off the engagement."

Meanwhile.

In front of the Leng family mansion.

A Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up at the entrance.

Inside the car.

"Young Master, we've arrived."

The butler in the driver's seat spoke.

"Mm."

Gu Yan in the back seat nodded slightly. He looked towards the Leng family's main gate.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, his eyes also revealing a hint of anticipation.

Well then, let me meet my future big shot!
