### Chapter 14: The Unleashing of Wasteful Habits
Upon hearing Mo Linyuan's words, Leng Qingqing couldn't help but chuckle softly. "Young Master Mo, do you harbor some misunderstandings about your wife? She is my half-sister, but she lost our mother at a young age and was abandoned in the countryside. What noble status are you referring to? Young Master, I advise you to recognize reality. Leng Rongrong holds no esteemed position, and neither do you. Do you still fantasize about being that illustrious Young Master of the Mo family, commanding both wind and rain?"
A cripple and a country bumpkin.
To think one could dream of being someone of lofty status…
Mo Linyuan remained silent, his dark eyes fixed intently on Leng Qingqing.
His gaze seemed to say, "Go on, continue speaking."
Fearless, Leng Qingqing pressed on. "Young Master Mo, to be frank, do you believe your disability can be cured? If it could, it would have been resolved long ago. While you once wielded power, you are now a mere puppet, nearly cast out from the Mo family. Do you truly believe you have a chance to turn things around? You will never rise again in this lifetime!"
With that, her gaze shifted to Leng Rongrong. "And you, too, marrying a cripple with no powerful backing—do you think your life holds any promise? It's utterly hopeless! You'd better release Young Master Li quickly, lest the Li family exact revenge on you both!"
"Never turn things around?" Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes, a terrifying glint flashing within.
"Do you genuinely think you can make a comeback?" Leng Qingqing laughed derisively. "How naïve! With your legs crippled, has your mind become equally impaired?"
Mo Linyuan: …
With a swift motion, Mo Linyuan struck Leng Qingqing across the mouth with his baton.
She had been joyfully standing with her hands on her hips, but the sudden blow left her lips throbbing painfully, swelling almost instantly.
"You… how dare you do this!"
For a woman, nothing is more precious than her appearance. When Leng Qingqing felt her swollen lips, she was instantly furious.
Leng Rongrong let out a burst of laughter.
The sight of Leng Qingqing's now swollen lips was simply too amusing.
"What are you laughing at?" Leng Qingqing was on the verge of madness, her lips burning with pain, utterly unaware of her appearance.
"Just look in the mirror, and you'll understand!" Leng Rongrong laughed heartily.
With a pale face, Leng Qingqing glanced at the reflection in the car's glass window and saw her grotesquely swollen mouth, inciting her rage.
Covering her mouth, she dared not speak, merely glaring fiercely at Mo Linyuan.
He flicked his baton and uttered a single word: "Scram."
Both Leng Qingqing and Li Lechen, who had just risen from the ground, immediately turned to leave. As they walked away, they cast vengeful glances back at Leng Rongrong and Mo Linyuan.
"Just wait and see; we won't let you off so easily!"
After this parting shot, Li Lechen and Leng Qingqing fled.
Leng Rongrong: …
She turned to Mo Linyuan and asked earnestly, "Should we be worried about them? It sounds like this Young Master Li has some formidable connections. I've always lived in the countryside, so I'm not well-versed in the situation here."
"Not worth fearing," Mo Linyuan replied coldly.
Leng Rongrong nodded. "Then there's no problem. I'm not particularly scared; I'm just concerned about you being bullied. What if I'm out working, and someone comes to trouble you?"
With this thought, Leng Rongrong glanced at Mo Linyuan twice. "Would you like to adopt a dog? One that can guard the house?"
Mo Linyuan replied, "…If it makes you happy."
"I raised a large wolfhound in the countryside; it's quite formidable. Perhaps I should bring it here to guard you?"
Leng Rongrong mused that if she were to be away, having Storm protect Mo Linyuan wouldn't be a bad idea.
Mo Linyuan seemed quite capable himself, and having Storm around would surely enhance security.
Moreover, if anything happened at home, Storm would promptly inform her, given its remarkable intelligence. She also had a unique ability to communicate with animals.
Although Mo Linyuan wasn't particularly fond of animals, he didn't refuse when he saw the excitement radiating from Leng Rongrong.
After leaving the luxury car dealership, Leng Rongrong took Mo Linyuan shopping for various items.
She bought furniture, food, and anything else that her household lacked.
She also treated herself to several new outfits.
Without hesitation, she selected a few pieces for Mo Linyuan as well, purchasing them outright.
Later, she bought two sets for Tang Luo, as he reminded her of a younger brother.
Though she feigned poverty, Leng Rongrong was quite extravagant with her spending.
She paid no heed to prices, buying anything that caught her eye with a flourish.
This behavior created a stark contrast to her initial modest attire, especially with Mo Linyuan being a cripple. Upon entering luxury boutiques, they were initially met with disdain, but her unabashed shopping spree stunned everyone.
People stared, agape, at Leng Rongrong.
What began as an assumption that she was a poor girl soon flipped; she turned out to be a veritable heiress.
Women often lack rationality when shopping, but Leng Rongrong had completely lost her sense of restraint.
She could have filled her home with goods from every shop.
How could a countryside girl be so adept at shopping?
Not only the sales associates but even Mo Linyuan and Tang Luo were bewildered.
Two cars had been ordered, and yet she was capable of such extravagant spending?
Who exactly was this young mistress, and how did she have so much money to spend?
Leng Rongrong kept the source of her wealth to herself, and Mo Linyuan and Tang Luo, while curious, didn't press for details.
After all, they had initially thought her a struggling peasant girl, only to discover she was anything but; she was not poor, nor was she simply a villager…
She was familiar with various high-end brands, knowledgeable about the best products, and had sharp insights about vehicles.
Her speech was equally poised.
This was not the demeanor of someone raised in the countryside.
After a day of shopping, upon returning home, Leng Rongrong declared herself tired and retreated to her room to rest.
Only then did Mo Linyuan turn to Tang Luo. "Investigate her. I want all her information."
"Understood..." Tang Luo nodded. "Young Master, I noticed that the balance on the Young Mistress's card is quite extraordinary…"
"That's obvious," Mo Linyuan replied with a glance at Tang Luo. He didn't need to check the balance; just looking at the card gave him an inkling of the wealth it held.
This amount of money surpassed even the richest individuals in the city.
