Chapter 241: Two Cannon Fodders in Domineering Literature 23
Leng Yihan was adopted by the Leng family when he was three or four years old.
His birth was an accident. Before she was three or four years old, she and her mother wandered around, living a life completely unrelated to the Leng family.
Her biological mother was not a good person either. She was shrewd and calculating, and every step she took was scheming.
Back then, Leng's father hadn't been as reckless as he is today, and he hadn't completely disregarded the dignity of his wife, Zhang Cui. When he was hanging out with Leng Yihan's biological mother, he was only seeking momentary pleasure, never considering long-term plans.
After each happy occasion, Leng's father would just throw down some money as if to get rid of a trouble, and he never thought deeply about what kind of results this fleeting romance would bear.
He still held a certain amount of awe in Zhang Cui at that time. Zhang Cui was his legal wife, managing all the household affairs for him. Although she gave birth to a daughter, Leng's father still held out hope, thinking that "first blossom, then bear fruit" and perhaps she could get pregnant again and give birth to a son to inherit the family business.
Father Leng never thought that the woman whom he regarded as a passerby would be pregnant with his child.
When Leng Yihan's biological mother found out she was pregnant, she didn't tell anyone about it, nor did she seek credit from Leng's father. Instead, she chose to hide it and avoid him. She knew very well that if Leng's father knew she was pregnant at this time, there was a high possibility that she would lose the child.
So, she took the money that her father had given her, fled back to her hometown, and chose to give birth alone.
Although Leng Yihan's biological mother was scheming, she truly loved her child and the two of them had a deep bond. On the one hand, how could she not love this son she had given birth to? On the other hand, she also intentionally cultivated the relationship between the mother and the child, making her son inseparable from her.
It was not until Leng Yihan was almost four years old that his biological mother finally felt that the time was ripe. She came to the house with the child in her arms, intending to force him to abdicate.
Her purpose was clear and direct. Leng's father wanted to recognize his son, so he divorced Zhang Cui and let herself take his place and become the legitimate mistress of the Leng family.
Leng Yihan's biological mother thought she had planned everything out, and that she could rely on her intelligence and the "family card" in her hand to force her to abdicate and successfully enter the Leng family.
However, she was ultimately an ordinary person who had never committed a crime. The tricks she used to deal with ordinary people were nothing compared to a behemoth like the Leng family.
How could an ordinary woman like her guess the secret methods and schemes of the Leng family?
She disappeared silently, as if she had never existed in this world.
Who was responsible? Xiao 5 searched for a long time but still couldn't find any conclusive evidence.
The only certainty is that she was last seen at the Emerald Border, a chaotic and chaotic area where good and bad people mixed together. Since then, no one has seen her again, and no news has been sent back.
As for the mastermind behind the scenes, the three most suspected people are Mrs. Leng, Leng's father, and his wife Zhang Cui. Each of them has enough motivation and ability to shut her up forever.
Zhang Cui, as the legal wife of the Leng family, has the clearest motives.
Her husband was actually having an affair with another woman behind her back and even had a child with her.
Leng Yihan's biological mother not only slept with her man, but also wanted to use her son to take her place. How could Zhang Cui swallow this?
She was not the kind of woman who would willingly endure humiliation and swallow her anger. After many years in the Leng family, Zhang Cui had also learned a lot of skills, not to mention when she married into the family.
The Leng family had not yet become so prosperous as it is now, and she had been with them all the way up. She had as many connections as Leng's father and his family.
She knows how to defend her status and dignity.
If she didn't take action, wouldn't it make her seem too easy to bully? Zhang Cui would never allow anyone to threaten her position, no matter how great the cost.
Old Madam Leng, as one of the helmsmen of the Leng family, has lived for most of her life and has seen many ups and downs. What she hates most is being threatened.
What's more, Leng Yihan was the only male grandson of the Leng family at that time, so the old lady naturally wanted to keep him by her side and educate him so that he could inherit the family business in the future.
However, as a child, Leng Yihan only recognized his biological mother and would look for her wherever he went, which touched the old lady's red line. She would never allow anyone to disrupt the order and rules of the Leng family.
It is easier to understand Mr. Leng. A woman who he treated as a plaything actually played such a big game on him. Do you think he can feel happy?
No matter who takes action, Leng Yihan's biological mother is destined to be unable to escape.
Her intelligence and talent were like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of the power of the Leng family. Her disappearance became a mystery, a mystery that no one dared to delve into.
Leng Yihan's erratic personality might have been caused by his mother's sudden disappearance when he was young.
It is not known how the Leng family explained to Leng Yihan the departure of his biological mother, but it must have caused severe psychological trauma to the young Leng Yihan.
"I think the Leng family's big show will begin in a few months." Mu Chen said in a low voice, with a hint of anticipation and gloating in his tone.
"Yeah, Zhang Cui has been upset these years because she doesn't have a biological son of her own. If she could give birth safely this time, she probably wouldn't let Leng Yihan take the position of the next head of the Leng family so easily." Si Rong agreed.
"Of course, Zhang Cui is not a pushover." Mu Chen continued, his tone cautious, "Leng Yihan was able to grow up safely these years because Zhang Cui didn't give birth to her own son.
Her daughter is also a love-brained person, thinking only of love and affection all day long, and has no interest in family power. This is why Zhang Cui turned a blind eye to Leng Yihan's existence.
"That's right. Zhang Cui's daughter Leng Lingling has been spoiled since she was a child and has been well protected by Zhang Cui. She has no interest in family struggles and only wants to find true love and live an ordinary life." Si Rong interjected, with a bit of disdain in her tone.
Sirong gently stirred the coffee in her hand and frowned slightly: “Only those who have never lived an ordinary day would say such childish words.
It is actually quite unwise to raise your own daughter to be like this in the Leng family."
Mu Chen nodded, his eyes penetrating, as if he had seen through this power game. "Zhang Cui has maintained a stable position in the Leng family over the years. You can't say she's not shrewd or skillful.
Although she appeared to be indifferent to Leng Yihan's existence, that was simply because she herself had not given birth to a son and could not touch Leng Yihan for the time being. But now, she was finally pregnant, and this was the opportunity she had been waiting for for many years.
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "Once she gives birth to a son, the Leng family's situation will completely change. Zhang Cui will never allow Leng Yihan to threaten her son's position. Her years of forbearance and planning will not be wasted because of the existence of a bastard."
A smile flashed in Muchen's eyes: "It's just that Leng Yihan is no longer a child now.
He hadn't stayed in the Leng family for nothing all these years.
Moreover, although he is young, he was raised by Old Lady Leng, and his skills are not bad. Over the years, he has been secretly accumulating strength and cultivating his own power. If he was really so easily overthrown by Zhang Cui, he would not be alive today.
