Chapter 56 - 56 Instigating
56 Instigating
Le An had grown up with Le Wan and knew her overbearing personality the best.
Ever since she was young, whenever there was something good, she would be the first one to pick it. Only after she had picked it could others pick it. Otherwise, she would be unhappy and throw a tantrum, and her family would always indulge and coax her.
This time, her grandmother skipped her and gave the necklace to Le Yan. Le Wan would be very angry if she knew about it. If Le Wan could fight against Le Yan, she would be happy to see who would win.
This was what Le An was planning. However, how could Le Wan not see through such a simple act of sowing discord?
“Why, you want it?” Le Wan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Le An.
“It’s just a necklace. It’s grandma’s thing. She can give it to whoever she likes.”
Her collection of jewelry was not bad, but she had a family to pamper her, so she did not lack that necklace.
Le An’s heart ached when she heard that. Although her parents doted on her, her father was not the chairman and could only receive dividends from the group every year. Therefore, he naturally did not have so much money on hand and could not buy luxury goods for her often. Not to mention, Le Wan’s two brothers were also very hardworking, and they would buy all kinds of things for Le Wan.
Seeing that Le An’s expression had turned sour, Le Wan even added,
“Children like us who come from rich families have seen all kinds of good things. Why would we be so short-sighted as to fight for a necklace?”
“Good, good, good. That’s the good girl of our Le family.”
Old Madam Le happened to pass by and heard this. She patted Le Wan’s hand in relief and glanced at Le An. She warned her softly,
“Don’t bring those little thoughts to the table, or you’ll lead your sister astray.”
Le An opened her mouth to explain, but Old Madam Le couldn’t be bothered with her. She turned around and went to do other things. Le Wan looked at her discolored face and chuckled, which made Le An’s face turn even uglier.
“In the past, you still knew how powerful I was and wouldn’t provoke me. Why have you become more and more backward as you grow up?”
Le Wan was too lazy to get involved in their feud.
“If you want to fight with her, that’s your own business. Don’t drag me into it. If you provoke me or bring me trouble, I don’t care who’s right or wrong, I’ll just hit you all with the stick.”
After leaving behind this warning, Le Wan patted her butt and left.
Le An stood in place, ashamed and angry. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she would want to find trouble for Le Yan. In the end, she couldn’t find her after walking around the house. Just as she was about to give up, she heard movement from the greenhouse by the side door. She walked over with light steps.
“Brother Fu, don’t be like this.” Le Yan’s struggling voice came from inside.
“What, we haven’t seen each other for a few days. Don’t you miss me?” Fu Sui’s charming voice followed.
“I came early in the morning to attend your birthday party.”
Hmph.
In broad daylight, the two of them were so bold as to kiss each other here. As she listened to the two people’s flirting, Le An felt nauseated. Suddenly, she had an idea and walked towards Grandpa Le’s room quietly.
She saw the old man drinking tea from a palm-sized purple clay teapot, so she poked her head out and knocked on the door.
“Grandpa, didn’t you say that the orchids were in full bloom and that you wanted to pick a few pots to decorate the living room? Auntie asked me to help, so I’ll go and carry a few pots.”
When Grandpa Le heard this, he quickly jumped up.
“What do you guys know about orchids? let me pick them myself.” He looked as if he was afraid that Le An would damage the orchid.
Ever since he retired, the idle Old Man Le became addicted to orchid cultivation. The rarer the species, the more he liked it. Therefore, the greenhouse was filled with many of the precious orchids he had collected. Every time there was a banquet at home, he would put a few pots of flowers in the living room as decorations. It was to show off how precious his orchids were and how well he had raised them.
As such, Elder Le would naturally not let anyone else do such an important job as picking flowers.
He was older and his hearing was not as good, so he did not hear the sound coming from the greenhouse. He opened the door of the greenhouse happily and looked up. He saw a man and a woman hugging and gnawing at each other. If one looked carefully, their clothes were a little messy.
“Which family’s Yingluo are you from?” He narrowed his eyes and looked at them. Weren’t these two his second granddaughter and the Fu family’s boy?
