Chapter 798 - Chapter 798 Chapter 797 The Madman of Hatred_1

Chapter 798: Chapter 797: The Madman of Hatred_1 Chapter 798: Chapter 797: The Madman of Hatred_1 Following behind was A Rong, who held up a black umbrella, lazily trailing behind. The rain slid off the edge of the umbrella, spattering onto the red brick path.

In the villa’s living room, a beautiful young girl was sitting on the couch. Her expression was cold, her clear eyes staring emotionlessly at Leng Peixi who just entered.

“Leng Ran!” Upon seeing Leng Ran, an expression of dissatisfaction briefly flashed in Leng Peixi’s eyes. She wasn’t a fan of this niece. Leng Ran was too much like her when she was young, and her youth was far from pleasant.

Those were her most painful memories.

“Auntie!” Leng Ran stood up from the couch, her calm gaze piercing as she addressed Leng Peixi. “You don’t seem too happy about this return. Did something go wrong, or are you not satisfied with the death you caused?”

Leng Peixi’s face suddenly changed, her carefully nurtured face twisted with suppressed anger and hatred. She stepped forward and grabbed Leng Ran’s throat.

Leng Ran gasped, forced to tilt her chin up, her small face reddening from suffocation.

“Do you want to die?” Leng Peixi articulated every word, “Don’t think that just because you’re my niece, I won’t hurt you.”

“I know you dare.” Leng Ran took a deep breath. Ever since the Leng family fell into the hands of her aunt, everything changed. Her aunt had gone mad, a lunatic who only knew murder, blood, and hatred.

A flicker of sadness and pain crossed Ran’s eyes. If she had known that returning would result in this, she would have stayed in Qi Li Town. Even being in the remote outskirts would’ve been better than returning to the Imperial City.

“But aunt, did I say something wrong? Is it that the Leng family can no longer speak the truth?”

Standing behind Leng Peixi, A Rong silently observed Leng Ran, a glimmer of interest crossing his dark eyes.

This was the first time he had encountered such a stubborn and intelligent young girl.

Leng Peixi let go with a derisive laugh, her gaze sharp and crazed, “You’re right! Very right, extremely right.” She had fulfilled her desire to kill Yuan Xueshan, only for Huo Linong to deliver a blow. The outcome…it was a laughable outcome.

But she, the one who should be laughing, could no longer find the humor in it.

A hint of confusion crossed Leng Ran’s eyes as she held her throat, rapidly trying to deduce what was happening. She’s meticulous and observant, and now realized that Leng Peixi’s behavior was odd.

There had to be more than what she’d let slip.

“Leng Ran.” Leng Peixi coughed, “I heard you attended high school in Qi Li Town?”

“Yes, auntie.” There was nothing to hide about that fact, and Leng Ran knew that her aunt had many sources–she could not hide anything from her.

“And you were classmates with Jiang Nanfei?” The mention of Jiang Nanfei loosened the cold sharpness of Leng Peixi’s expression, replaced by an odd smile.

The sudden mention sent chills down Leng Ran’s spine. She had planned to meet Jiang Nanfei in the Imperial City, and was aware that both Jiang Nanfei and Silly were already there.

However, the situation with the Leng family had gone beyond her expectations. Afraid of affecting her friends, she had been holding back, and had yet to meet them.
