17 Too Late to Blink

As soon as she arrived at the old house, An Qi noticed the difference immediately. As compared with before her departure, the walls of the old house were much brighter in color, and the number of servants had increased significantly.

An Qi was glad to see the changes in the house, as they were indications that her father was able to let the past unhappiness go and enjoy his retirement. However, it also was a bit disconcerting, as all of this was just what An Qi had imagined.

As she passed by many busy servants, who were cleaning the house, An Qi suddenly felt that someone was watching her, but when she looked up to check her surroundings, she saw nothing. After that, she shivered inexplicably.

While he was making his way from the yard to the main gate, the servants greeted An Shijie politely, but An Shijie paid no attention to any of them. Seeing her father's cold reaction made An Qi feel even more alienated from him.

An Yufei quietly followed behind An Qi as she listened to her grandfather telling her mother about the changes that he had made in the old house. At that moment, the answer to why her grandpa had appeared in Dong Manman's house came upon little Yufei. It seemed that the reason why her silly mother was cheated on was not entirely because of the charms of Gu Xiaonan...

Meanwhile, in the conference room of Leng Group Building…

Leng Yuchen was clearly in a foul mood. As such, whoever he looked at during the evening's meeting would subconsciously hunch their shoulder and leaned back, trying to avoid his glare. Sheng Jie wondered how he had managed to return to the company with Boss Leng.

While Leng Yuchen listened to the financial minister's report, Sheng Jie opened his mobile phone timidly, seeing that his SMS inbox was full of voice messages from Old Sheng.

Oh my God, who still uses SMS these days?

As he gazed at his inbox in shock, he thought that his father was indeed a man who was still living in the last century!

In the SMS message, Old Sheng reminded Sheng Jie to take good care of the second young master to ensure that they would not make any extraordinary moves towards the first young master, who would be returning home soon.

Come on, is this really my biological father? He's actually worried that the first young master would be threatened by the second young master?

His old father should have been worrying about his own son! After all, if he were to watch over the second young master for the first young master, he might end up not being able to see the morning sun tomorrow!

Being a man was difficult. Being a servant was difficult. But, it was even more difficult to be a man servant in the Leng family! On top of that, Sheng Jie was caught in the middle of several generations, making it tougher than ever for him!

While Sheng Jie was looking at his phone, Leng Yuchen's fierce look forced Sheng Jie to snap back to attention during the meeting. It was lucky that he was getting more skilful at changing his facial expressions, which was a skill that perfectly depicted the definition of bootlicker!

Several of the shareholders glanced at each other. If it was not for the fact that Sheng Jie Old Sheng's son, which meant that he was on the side of the first young master, he would probably be punished for his momentary distraction. On second thought, it seemed to them that it might not be such a bad idea to keep such a useless person around the second young master.

Sheng Jie rolled his eyes in secret and continued to focus on Leng Yuchen. He was not bothered at all by the others' contempt. In fact, ever since Boss Leng showed him his hacker skills, Sheng Jie was like a loyal dog, sticking closely to him. He was only lacking a wagging tail!

At the moment, Leng Yuchen did not bother about Sheng Jie as he continued to listen to the reports from his subordinates. But, unconsciously, his mind drifted back to the beautiful shadow...

After the meeting, Leng Yuchen rubbed his swollen nose and said to Sheng Jie, who had just come to deliver tea. "Go ask Mengang about the woman who came here this afternoon!"

"Okay." Just as Sheng Jie was about to salute him and leave, a familiar figure flashed past the long corridor, causing some of the people to stop breathing for a moment.

Is the chairman back? This was the first thought of several of the shareholders. After all, looking at the figure alone, it was like a carbon copy of Leng Tianlong!

As the figure approached, he kept whistling rhythmically. It made him appear less dashing than Leng Tianlong, more like a British yuppie than a proper person of high status.

Other than Leng Yuchen, the rest of the people were confused. Gradually, Leng Yuchen responded by unexpectedly humming along with the figure's whistle!

In fact, the reason why Leng Yuchen knew the rhythm so well was because the song was created by he and his brother, Leng Jin! He believed that no one in the world could whistle the song so skilfully, except for Leng Jin.

Sure enough, as the man approached, the vocal cords of all of the shareholders, which seemed to be unlocked in an instant, while they are gasped in surprise before uttering comments of amazement...

"This is Mr. Leng, the first young master, right?"

"Are you sure? I have been working at the Leng Group for nearly 10 years. Apart from seeing his name on the annual bonus list, this young man seemed to be nonexistent. I didn't expect to see him today."

Those who were commenting were scrambling behind Leng Yuchen to have a good look at the man. Several people who had a good relationship with the Sheng family, once they got a good look at him, could confirm that the figure was indeed Leng Jin.

Sheng Jie stared at Leng Yuchen. Even though he had known that the first young master was coming back, he had never thought that the first young master's entrance would be like this!

Sheng Jie also tried to hum a few times, but his clumsy tongue was not flexible at all and he botched the attempt entirely. While Sheng Jie was hanging his head and sighing, thinking that Leng Yuchen was in imminent danger, Leng Jin walked towards them.

At that moment, Sheng Jie's eyes were full of admiration. The young masters from the Leng family were indeed a notch above the rest. Just their physical appearances alone were enough to cause everyone be in awe of them.

"Hi, Xiao Yuchen, long time no see." As soon as they met, Leng Jin displayed the seniority of an elder brother, raising his hand with a smile and attempting to rub his younger brother's head.

Sheng Jie could clearly see that, although Leng Yuchen was humming along, his face remained expressionless. Having been around Leng Yuchen for a long time, Sheng Jie could read him well. Leng Yuchen always appeared cold, but had a warm nature deep inside.

This was clearly seen when the plain-clothed comrade had visited his father, Old Sheng, and those comrades were all working for Boss Leng, they did not arrest his parents. Instead, after the phone conversation between the father and son had ended, Boss Leng ordered them to release his parents.

At this moment, Leng Yuchen looked like he had dark circles under his eyes. They were so dark that it almost seemed as if a demon was living in his eyes!

Leng Yuchen maintained his composure and looked away, causing Leng Jin's outstretched hand to hang awkwardly in the air. Seeing this, cold sweat broke out upon Sheng Jie's forehead.

After all, Leng Jin was the first young master of the Leng Group, and he was supported by a group of old timers. As such, Sheng Jie was worried that Leng Yuchen's reaction would arouse their dissatisfaction once again.

However, his worries were needless, as before anyone could respond, Leng Jin's outstretched hand inched forward and clenched into a fist tightly. The speed that this happened was so fast that before Sheng Jie even had the time to blink his eyes, it was over…
