"It's the Tang family's family affair, and we shouldn't talk about it. Anyway, Gu Ning is Tang Yunfan's biological daughter, which is the undeniable truth," Master Leng said.

"She must either be a step-daughter or an illegitimate daughter." Leng Shaojia blurted it out.

"Shut your mouth!" Master Leng snapped at Leng Shaojia. Although it was the truth, he was worried that Gu Ning might feel hurt.

Actually, even if Gu Ning was Tang Yunfan's love child, she was very important in the Tang family.

"Am I wrong?" Leng Shaojia argued.

"Yeah, you're right, but so what?" Gu Ning admitted it with alacrity. She had no intention to hide her history, because she had already become successful on her own. It didn't matter whether she was Miss Tang or not. As long as she wanted, she could change her surname to Tang at any time.

However, she kept her name as Gu Ning, and she was determined to fight for her future on her own.

"Oh, an illegitimate daughter. It's super embarrassing if the Leng family marries an illegitimate daughter," Leng Shaojia said with obvious disdain and looked satisfied after knowing that Gu Ning was an illegitimate daughter.

"Shut up!" Master Leng was angry. In fact, Master Leng didn't think it was embarrassing at all. He appreciated Gu Ning, not her family background.

Leng Shaojia was a little scared, but was reluctant to give up. "Grandpa, I said that for the Leng family's own good. Our family is the top family in the capital. What if…"

"Go back to your room, now!" Master Leng interrupted her before she could finish.

"Grandpa Leng, it's fine." Gu Ning comforted Master Leng at once. She then turned to look at Leng Shaojia. "You're right that nobody likes an illegitimate daughter, but I'm unstoppable. Do whatever you can, and you'll see who's the winner."

Leng Shaojia opened her mouth, trying to say something, but her mouth was struck by a large piece of meat all of a sudden. It was thrown over by Leng Shaoting.

He remained silent the entire time, but it didn't mean that he wasn't mad. He had promised to let Gu Ning deal with it herself, but he couldn't tolerate it now and took action right away.

The scene shocked everyone around the table, and Leng Shaojia was totally stunned.

"Shaojia, are you alright?" Jiang Shuyuan went to help Leng Shaojia in a hurry.

"Shaoting, how could you do that?" she questioned Leng Shaoting in anger.

"If you dare to say something like that again, I'm able to do anything," Leng Shaoting coldly said.

Although Leng Shaoting always stayed alone and kept a distance from others, he seldom vented his anger at them.

Not to mention Leng Shaojia, even Master Leng felt a little shocked and frightened.

"Mom…" Leng Shaojia hid behind her mother's back. She didn't dare to act against Leng Shaoting anymore.

"It's fine. Let's go back to your room now," Jiang Shuyuan said and left with Leng Shaojia. Both of them had lost their appetite.

"Ningning, please don't mind it. I don't think there is anything wrong with your history, and I can't wait to see Shaoting marry you!" Master Leng said.

"Right, Ningning, we like you too, and we really hope that you can marry into our family one day," Yu Yin said as well.

"I agree!" Leng Yuanzhen nodded.

"Miss Gu, I'm sorry. Please accept my sincere apologies. It's my fault that my daughter behaves so badly," Leng Yuanqian said to Gu Ning. He didn't want Leng Shaoting to marry a girl with a powerful family background, but it was something out of his control.

Even though he had the same idea as Leng Shaojia and thought that it was humiliating for an illegitimate daughter to marry into the Leng family, he didn't dare to say it aloud.

Besides, Master Leng was the decision-maker in the Leng family, and nobody could change his decisions.

Leng Yuanqian was a senior official in the government, so he was highly flexible.

Even though Jiang Shuyuan forgot her manners in their home, she had no disagreement with her colleagues. Everyone had a different side in different situations.

"I'm fine. I don't mind it at all," Gu Ning said. She indeed couldn't care less about Leng Shaojia. Although Leng Shaojia was attacking her, she had the courage to face the truth.

Seeing that Gu Ning was fine, the others felt relieved and kept on enjoying the meal. And except for Leng Yuanqian, the others were back in a good mood.

"Mom, how could Leng Shaoting do that to me! My mouth is so sore now." Leng Shaojia complained the moment she was in her bedroom.
