Chapter 140: A Strong Desire to Control

Jiang Ting, Shi Jiu, and a few other friends all turned to look at the three grown men and the little kid behind Leng Rongrong.

Leng Rongrong’s appearance was not strange. After all, she had made an appointment with them.

But what the hell were those three men and a child from a previous marriage doing?

“They are the family of my bodyguards,” Leng Rongrong explained, then patted Nanyu’s head, “This is m-my godson.”

“Godson?” Jiang Ting stood up audibly. “Damn, why did you acknowledge such an old godson? How come I didn’t know that you have a godson?”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Leng Rongrong.

Shi Jiu also looked at Nanyu with great interest. He shook the liquid in his glass elegantly and seemed to have thought of something. He said in surprise, “Mo Nanyu? That small-time celebrity?”

Nanyu nodded and introduced himself. Then, he also greeted the rest of the adults one by one.

After Leng Rongrong and the others sat down, Jiang Ting kept trying to convince Nanyu to call him godfather.

Of course, Nanyu rejected it because he already had one.

Little Nanyu revealed directly that Mo Linyuan was his godfather.

“You’re calling a bodyguard your godfather?” Jiang Ting exploded.

“I’m very rich. You can call me godfather, and I’ll give you a big red packet. Don’t you like money? You can buy lots and lots of toys with money!”

“Childish.” Little Nanyu glanced at Jiang Ting with disdain. “Do I look like a kid who likes toys? I’m not that childish!”

Jiang Ting was speechless!

“Then, do you prefer a bodyguard as a godfather? If you’re not childish, you should choose me. I’m the most suitable candidate for a godfather. Other people only acknowledge bigshots, but why are you acknowledging a bodyguard?”

“Is there a problem with a bodyguard?” Mo Linyuan was sitting at the side. He had been silent the whole time and didn’t have much of a presence, but once he spoke, he had an aura that couldn’t be ignored. He looked at Jiang Ting with a pair of cold eyes that were filled with gloom.

This man wanted to steal his wife. Now, Jiang Ting wanted to steal his godson?

Jiang Ting glanced at Mo Linyuan, then his bright and handsome face turned serious. “I don’t mean to belittle your job, but the truth is, being a bodyguard is not a high-end job, is it? Although you’re working for Rongrong, your salary shouldn’t be too low. Among ordinary people, you might be considered pretty good, but compared to people of our status, you definitely can’t match us.”

“You are?”

“Do you know the Jiang family? The Jiang family is famous in the capital.”

Jiang Ting glanced at Mo Linyuan, “I am the heir of the Jiang family.”

“So what if you’re from old money?” There was a trace of contempt in Mo Linyuan’s eyes, and his words were full of ridicule.

Jiang Ting choked. As soon as a mouthful of wine went down his throat, he suddenly started coughing violently.

This was the first time someone belittled him who was from a powerful family with some hostility.

Tang Luo was watching the show from the side. He was entertained.

He knew about the Jiang family. They were a big family in the capital. The Jiang family had many talents and was indeed very powerful. They had been on an upslope for the past few years.

However, no matter how powerful the Jiang family was, Jiang Ting couldn’t be compared to Mo Linyuan.

Mo Linyuan’s power wasn’t as simple as controlling the Nether Abyss Empire.

******

Mo Linyuan had always been mysterious and powerful. Not to mention Jiang Ting, who was merely a third generation of power, even someone of his generation, like Jiang Ting’s grandfather, had to be afraid of Mo Linyuan.

Mo Linyuan seemed to look down on Jiang Ting.

After Jiang Ting said a few words, Mo Linyuan casually rebuked him. In the end, Jiang Ting was extremely depressed and did not persuade Nanyu to acknowledge him as his godfather. Instead, he began to reflect on whether he was really a member of a prominent family.

Shi Jiu looked at Mo Linyuan from the side.

From the first time he saw Mo Linyuan, he knew that he was not just a bodyguard. Now, he was even more certain.

Which bodyguard would have such a strong aura? He even dared to offend Jiang Ting. Moreover, his employer came to have a gathering with her friends, and he actually followed her in as if it was his right. After Mo Linyuan sat down, his aura was even more imposing than everyone else present.

Although the people present weren’t the top celebrities in society, they were still some outstanding small figures.

However, the bodyguard didn’t have any reaction. He even looked at them as if he was a high and mighty person looking at a group of poor bosses with a kind of casual disdain in his eyes.

Leng Rongrong, on the other hand, did not pay much attention to Mo Linyuan and the others. She chatted with a few friends she had not seen in a long time, then started playing dice with Jiang Ting and the others.

Just as they were having fun, Leng Rongrong downed glass after glass of wine. Just as she was about to continue drinking, a hand suddenly snatched her glass away and put it aside.

Mo Linyuan had appeared beside her. “You’re almost done.”

Leng Rongrong was speechless.

The rest of them wanted to say something but felt that Mo Linyuan was a bit of a killjoy. But when they looked up and met Mo Linyuan’s cold eyes, a trace of awe flashed through their hearts, and they forgot to say anything.

“I’m going back,” Mo Linyuan said.

Then, he grabbed Leng Rongrong’s wrist without giving her a chance to explain, turned around, and left with her.

When she left the house, Leng Rongrong called Tang Luo to help her with her bag and coat.

“Wait for me!” Little Nanyu jumped down from the sofa and ran very quickly with his short legs, following behind Li Ruhua.

The private room was silent for a few seconds.

“He left?”

“What’s the situation? Are there any bodyguards who take their employers away?”

“This bodyguard is a little disobedient! Is there such a strong bodyguard?”

“I don’t quite understand. Why so suddenly… Didn’t we just get into the fun?”

Jiang Ting was speechless.

He looked at Shi Jiu in confusion and snatched the glass of wine from Shi Jiu’s hand. “Stop drinking. Don’t you think that bodyguard is a little strange?”

“He seems to have a strong desire to control.” Shi Jiu shrugged his shoulders.

“Why did Xiao Rongrong have such a bodyguard by her side? It’s as if he has eyes on top of his head. He’s just a bodyguard, and he’s mocking me for being reliant on old money! Have you ever seen bodyguards ridicule the third generation? He’s just jealous!”

“I’ve seen him just now,” Shi Jiu looked at Jiang Ting with a smile.

“No, I have to ask Xiao Rongrong to fire that bodyguard!” Jiang Ting asked seriously, “What do you think about me being Rongrong’s bodyguard?”

“Not much.” Shi Jiu shook his head.

Jiang Ting became speechless.

On the way back, Tang Luo drove. Li Ruhua sat in the passenger’s seat while Leng Rongrong, Mo Linyuan, and the little one sat in the back.

Leng Rongrong was arranged to sit in the middle, with Nanyu on the left and Mo Linyuan on the right.
