Chương 23: Helping You Maintain Your Act of Pretending
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Li had once seen Nie Yi from afar at a banquet. He was the only son of the Nie family, one of the four wealthy families. Director Jiao knew Nie Yi's identity. Now that the two of them saw him, they were very respectful. After all, if they cooperated with Nie Yi, it would be very difficult for them.
"Hello, Young Master Nie." Jiang Li greeted him even more obsequiously.
"Young Master Nie… I..." Director Jiao also wanted to greet Nie Yi, but his head was still pressed against the table, and his neck was pressed against the glass. His head was hurting, and so was his neck.
"What are you doing?" Nie Yi asked again.
When Jiang Li saw that Nie Yi was also speaking up for them, he berated Jiang Piaopiao and her husband in an even harsher tone, "Hurry up and let go! Young Master Nie is here! He was the head of the Nie family in the future, one of the four wealthy families. Stop embarrassing yourself!"
Nie Yi widened his eyes in horror, "What are you saying?"
Seeing Nie Yi's reaction, Jiang Li felt a little uneasy, "I mean, isn't this wheelchair guy a loser?"
Nie Yi's eyes widened even more! He and Leng Mu had known each other for many years, but he had never seen anyone who dared to say such things about him, and it was even in front of him.
However, Nie Yi soon understood. His wife was here, and Leng Mu still pretended to be weak.
Jiang Li looked at Nie Yi's confused look and asked uneasily, "You know this person?"
"Yeah!" Nie Yi nodded.
"What did Young Master Nie just say?" Jiang Li was so scared that his body trembled, "You didn't side with us?"
"Did a donkey kick your head? Who do you think you are? What would I do for you?" Nie Yi said bluntly.
Once again, the immobilised Jiao's entire body trembled. To get the support of the young master Nie, one of the four wealthy families, what kind of powerful character was this?!
Nie Yi recalled Gu Ye's advice, realizing that he couldn't reveal Leng Mu's act of pretending. He then said casually, "I met him in the business. I called him brother because he was older. Now that he's in a car accident and his business is not doing well, he has to call me brother."
Jiang Li frowned, feeling that something was wrong…
Director Jiao suddenly felt no pain in his body, "Then let go of me quickly! A useless pretentious cripple! Young Master Nie, you know him. Hurry up and make him let go!"
Nie Yi lightly coughed twice and gave Leng Mu a look. He said, "Xiao Leng, do me a favor and let it go today."
Leng Mu didn't let go and slightly raised an eyebrow, "Xiao Leng?"
Nie Yi's heart suddenly trembled. His tone was not right. But he felt wrong too. Helping him maintain his act of pretending, how was he wrong?
Jiang Piaopiao was worried that something unexpected might happen, so she advised, "Hubby, let go. If anything were to happen, dealing with such a person would not be worth it."
"Alright." Leng Mu said gently and threw the glass piece away.
Director Jiao collapsed onto the ground, feeling like he was lost. He wanted to kill this cripple! But because Nie Yi was here, they could only discuss it later.
Nie Yi also scolded Director Jiao and Jiang Li, "Although my brother's business is not doing well now. But I was indebted to him in the past. No matter what grudges you have, don't mention this again! No one was allowed to cause trouble for him and his wife. If you hear me, get lost!"
Jiang Li didn't dare to refuse and dragged Director Jiao away. He couldn't do anything about it. Director Jiao was so scared that his legs went weak. He couldn't walk by himself.
After the two of them left, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became a little awkward. Of course, mainly Jiang Piaopiao and Nie Yi thought so.
Nie Yi saw Jiang Piaopiao's worried face and couldn't help but comfort her, "Sister-in-law, I know him! He lacked a great background and relied on his dead wife to make a fortune. He didn't have any real ability. After his late wife died, her family no longer cared about him. You don't have to worry."
Leng Mu did not speak, but his expression was terrifyingly dark. He would not let go of anyone who dared to touch his wife! At this moment, he thought about torturing them without arousing suspicion from Jiang Piaopiao..…
Nie Yi glanced at Leng Mu and knew what he was thinking. He didn't disturb him. After all, Leng Mu couldn't let go of the anger. Then, she continued practising her acting skills, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter what, Leng Mu has helped me before. I will help you settle it."
"There's no need to trouble you." Jiang Piaopiao rejected him. Although she knew little about those wealthy families, she knew favors were the hardest to return.
Leng Mu's current situation was complicated.
She didn't want to get Leng Mu involved because of her. Leng Mu had already helped her a lot.
