Chapter 867: Chapter 866 Regret Chapter 867: Chapter 866 Regret “Are you talking about He Shasha?”

“Yes!” Leng Ran answered earnestly, “Aunt, the task you gave me, I dare not neglect.”

“That’s good.” Leng Peixi nodded in satisfaction, “Starting with He Shasha is indeed the best opportunity to get in touch with Jiang Nanfei. However, the military school has strict management, which is really troublesome.”

Leng Ran’s lowered eyes were calm and unrippled, but the hands by her side slowly clenched, already soaked with sweat in her palms.

“Aunt, I will work hard. I got in touch with Sha Sha today, and she said that Jiang Nanfei’s leave ends tomorrow,” she said, raising her head with seriousness, “So I hope you won’t interfere with me halfway. I know what to do.”

“Okay!” Leng Peixi agreed straightforwardly.

She looked at Leng Ran with a probing gaze, always feeling that there was something not quite right about the girl.

A Rong, sitting aside, glanced at Leng Ran and shook his head, thinking little of it.

“Have you eaten yet?” Leng Peixi asked.

“I’ve already eaten outside,” Leng Ran stood up, “I’ll go rest in my room. If there’s nothing important, I won’t come back here. I will temporarily stay at the school.”

Leng Ran had also been admitted to a university, but it was just a normal one and not prominent.

“Mhm!” Leng Peixi nodded her head.

Not until the door to Leng Ran’s room closed did Leng Peixi turn to ask, “A Rong, do you really think Leng Ran is that obedient?”

A Rong laughed dismissively, “Of course not.” That girl had already concealed herself very well, but being so young, some subtle movements still revealed her inner emotions.

“But…” A Rong paused before saying, “She is smart, and smart people all have one thing in common, that is selfishness. When she must make a choice, even if she is reluctant, she will only choose the one that is to her advantage.”

“Yes,” Leng Peixi said, downing the wine in her glass and placing the stemmed glass on the coffee table with a clear sound. “Just like how I was in the beginning, she knows what to do.”

So now, even if Leng Ran had her little schemes, they wouldn’t create much of a disturbance.

In the end, she couldn’t escape her fate.

“Aunt! What are you planning to do next?” A Rong changed the subject abruptly and asked.

“What to do?” Leng Peixi responded, puzzled.

“Huo Beijiang! What are your plans about him?” A Rong still remembered the previous incident at the hillside villa when someone attempted to assassinate Huo Kewei and it was the aunt who saved him. At that time, she thought Huo Kewei was her son, which was why she intervened.

This indicated that in her heart, she cared about this son.

But it turned out that Huo Kewei wasn’t him, it was Huo Beijiang.

A Rong was very curious about what she planned to do.

When Leng Peixi mentioned Huo Beijiang, she couldn’t maintain her composure anymore; her red lips trembled continuously, her expression became dark and ferocious. Her slender hand suddenly slammed onto the coffee table, sweeping the stemmed glass to the floor with a fierce swipe, shattering it with a clear noise.

“Damn it all!”

A Rong’s brow jumped, wondering if the aunt still intended to kill Huo Beijiang.

That was her own biological son!

Due to the intense emotional upheaval, Leng Peixi’s breathing became rapid, and after a long time, she slowly calmed down. She asked in a hoarse voice with her head lowered, “A Rong, do you think I made a mistake?”

“Aunt, there’s no right or wrong in what’s been done,” said A Rong with a frown. “If you’re talking about killing Yuan Xueshan, then indeed, it was a mistake. But the man is already dead, and it’s too late to say anything now.”
