3328 Don’t Want to Be the Leader
What was worse, whenever their husbands’ families had any difficulties, the two girls would come to ask for help. That was what made him feel the most unhappy.
However, he couldn’t ignore his own daughters, so he did everything he could to help.
“You…”
Since that was what really hurt him the most, Elder Zhang was got angry that he got up and left.
Although Leng Changyuan knew that Leng Xiaoyao would be filial to him, Elder Zhang’s words still made him feel uncomfortable. Besides, when he thought that Leng Xiaoyao would marry into another family, he was extremely sad.
In fact, Leng Xiaoyao wouldn’t get married until she was twenty-five years old. She was only eighteen years old, so she still had seven years.
When Leng Xiaoyao came home from school and saw that Leng Changyuan wasn’t in a good mood, she asked him what was wrong.
Leng Changyuan couldn’t hold back and vented about what Elder Zhang had said that day.
At first, Leng Xiaoyao thought that Elder Zhang’s words were ridiculous, but then she realized that she would probably only stay here for two more years. In an instant, she became upset.
However, she didn’t want Leng Changyuan to notice anything, so she suppressed her negative emotions and comforted him. “Grandpa, what Elder Zhang said is complete nonsense! You are the closest person to me in this world. I will always be filial to you and treat you well.”
Hearing that, Leng Changyuan felt much better.
On the other hand, Leng Xiaoyao was still weighed down by her thoughts.
Although she didn’t want to leave Leng Changyuan, she also couldn’t bear to leave her parents and younger brother. If she had to make a choice, she would choose to go back, but the thought of leaving Leng Changyuan behind made her feel heart-broken.
Why did she have to make such a choice?
At that moment, Leng Xiaoyao really wanted to call Li Mochen so she did.
He answered in his low and magnetic voice. “What’s up?” Her heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice. Not only was he handsome, but his voice was also so pleasant that it made her feel a lot better.
He was too attractive to reject. Not only was he handsome, but his voice was also so pleasant that it instantly lifted Leng Xiaoyao’s mood.
“Leng Xiaoyao, what’s wrong? Why are you silent?” When Leng Xiaoyao didn’t respond, Li Mochen became nervous. Although he knew that Leng Xiaoyao couldn’t be in trouble, perhaps because of his concern, he suddenly became flustered.
“Nothing, I was just captivated by your voice.” Leng Xiaoyao came back to her senses and said half-seriously, half-jokingly.
Li Mochen was stunned at the words and his heart beat faster. It seemed that Leng Xiaoyao was interested in him.
This time, Leng Xiaoyao didn’t hear Li Mochen’s response for a while, which made her embarrassed. “Why are you quiet? Did I scare you?”
“Not at all.” Li Mochen immediately returned to his senses, denying it and avoiding the topic. “I made some moves on the Li family. I also had someone watch over them. They shouldn’t cause you trouble again for the time being, but you still need to be careful. Call me if anything happens.”
“Okay, I know.” Leng Xiaoyao responded.
After talking to Li Mochen, Leng Xiaoyao’s mood improved a lot. She went to work and put these things behind her.
Li Mochen, however, was restless and lit a cigarette.
He then turned on his computer and emailed a friend abroad, describing his situation with Leng Xiaoyao.
Ian: Oh my god! Chen, you’ve fallen for that girl. I’m curious about her now. She must be someone special if she’s caught your attention.
Chen: Are you sure?
Ian: Chen, you’re an adult. Don’t you know if you like someone or not? Okay, I forgive you for never liking a girl before, but I’m sure you like this one. Can you tell me her name and send me her picture? I really want to know what kind of girl she is.
Li Mochen didn’t reply to Ian because his mind was filled with the word “like.”
Did he like Leng Xiaoyao?
He wasn’t sure, but he didn’t want to deny it.
Without Li Mochen’s reply, Ian sent him another message.
Ian: If you’re not sure if you like her or not, just look at her for three seconds and see if you have the urge to kiss her. If you do, then you like her. If not, it doesn’t mean you don’t like her, it just means you haven’t reached a certain level yet.
Reading Ian’s reply, Li Mochen felt a little embarrassed.
To kiss her?
That night, Li Mochen couldn’t sleep.
After finally falling asleep, he dreamed about Leng Xiaoyao and wanted to kiss her like he was crazy.
Li Mochen woke up from his dream and felt ashamed and disappointed that he didn’t actually kiss her.
However, it made him even more aware of his feelings. He really liked Leng Xiaoyao.
Li Mochen quickly booked a ticket to City Chang, but received a call from within the Wolf Gang on the way to the airport. He needed to handle something personally. As a result, Li Mochen couldn’t go to City Chang right away.
Jin Zhou was adjacent to the capital city and was the headquarters of the Wolf Gang.
After returning to headquarters, Li Mochen went directly to the conference room.
At that moment, all six high-level members of the Wolf Gang were gathered in the conference room.
“Is the leader dissatisfied with the Wolf Gang? He’s barely in the gang. If the leader feels that the Wolf Gang is a constraint on him, he can quit.”
As soon as Li Mochen entered, someone made a sarcastic remark.
The man was Zhu Jiedong, the minister of Department No.2
There were six parts of the Wolf Gang. Each managed different categories, similar to the group’s shareholders, with authority only under the leader.
“Minister Zhu is right. How can the leader be out all day? We all stay here all day.” added Lin Zeng, the minister of Department No.4.
“Well, I think the leader has things to do when he goes out. Anyway, there’s nothing to do in the gang,” said Cheng Yanghong, the minister of Department No.5. He defended Li Mochen. However, his uncertain tone gave a feeling of trying to cover something up.
The other three remained silent because they unconditionally supported Li Mochen and were the three most trusted among the six department heads.
“I really don’t want to be the leader any longer. Minister Zhu, who do you think would be more suitable?” Li Mochen said thoughtfully.
Everyone was stunned by his words. It was the first time Li Mochen had said that he didn’t want to be the leader! However, no one believed him.
Li Mochen wasn’t just saying it. He really had this plan.
He was going to the Guiyun Land and didn’t know what the situation would be like afterward or how long he would be gone. The Wolf Gang couldn’t be without a leader.
If there was something that needed him here while he was away in Guiyun Land and he couldn’t appear, that would be dereliction of duty.
