The two servants and the housekeeper, who were kneeling on the ground, all hung their heads as if their tongues had been cut off, no longer daring to speak.
Regardless, just by seeing these people remain silent like cicadas in winter, one could tell that the person speaking held a high position in the Leng family.
Leng Yiyao chuckled and looked up at the second floor.
Sure enough, she saw a graceful figure standing there.
Dressed in a champagne-colored robe, with her lustrous black hair cascading behind her back, she was different from the thick-browed beauties common in D City.
Her eyebrows were thin and long, and even when she wasn’t smiling, her eyes seemed to contain hint of watery light. Her skin was as white as snow, radiating a dazzling brightness as if it had never been touched by the sun, captivating anyone’s gaze and leading it along her fair skin to her slightly upturned red lips. The young lady’s delicate demeanor gave off a bookish scent. If she were walking in the garden in the morning with a book in her hand, she could probably catch everyone’s attention on the university campus from bachelors to professors!
At this moment, she leaned against the railing on the second floor, exuding an indescribable elegance.
Needless to say, this was her nationally renowned older sister, who excelled in all aspects.
Leng Yiyao smiled with a mischievous glint in her eyes, thinking, “Well, at least it’s worth the entertainment. She’s seems to be an atypical white lotus.” She wondered how long her sister had been standing upstairs, observing silently until now.
“Yao Yao is back?” When Leng Yiyi’s gaze swept over from Xiller’s face, she paused slightly, then her face lit up completely as if suddenly noticing Leng Yiyao, looking at her with pleasant surprise. “I was so worried about you! Where have you been?”
The housekeeper hung his head, wishing he could stuff himself into the cracks in the ground.
Leng Yiyao raised an eyebrow, sighed, and shook her head. Indeed, she had overestimated this beauty quite a bit. While her appearance was deceptive, her intelligence didn’t quite meet her expectations. Was this the extent of her schemes? Just a moment ago, she was complaining about the noise downstairs. How come upon seeing an outsider, she abandoned all household matters and redirected her focus solely on exposing family secrets?
In theory, it should be quite embarrassing for an unmarried girl like her to go missing. Was it necessary to announce it to everyone so openly?
Leng Yiyao scratched her ear, staring at her sister with disdain. “I recall that whether in undergrad or graduate school, you didn’t major in performing arts. Why are you and the housekeeper acting like two peas in a pod? I’ve been here for so long, whom were you looking at just now?”
Who else could it be?
The villa only had one outsider at the moment—Mr Xiller.
The renowned gambling king, wealthy beyond measure, and undeniably handsome. He was best buddies to the brother of both Leng Yiyao and her sister since childhood.
Who else could her high-and-mighty sister be looking at?
Leng Yiyao’s words left her sister dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, the usually quiet and cautious Second Miss Leng remained calm and composed, standing in place with a look of amusement, observing everyone as if watching a show.
If earlier the servants were too intimidated to show themselves, now their expressions were definitely peculiar!
The usually decisive and firm Miss seemed as if someone had smeared dog feces on her face, her complexion shifting from pale to red, then red to blue, and blue to purple, resembling a color palette.
Meanwhile, the always calm and cautious Second Miss remained composed, standing in place with a look of amusement, observing everyone as if watching a show.
As fo Xiller, who usually treated the Misses with warmth and respect, at this moment, his expression bordered on indifference…
…A bewildering awkwardness prevailed…
At least, the prestigious and harmonious Leng family, accustomed to presenting a grand facade to outsiders, had never experienced such a sour scene before.
