The Profligate Madam of the Family Chapter 103 - First Friend

Chapter 103: First Friend

“Lord Four, Rule already knows that she made a terrible mistake. Can you not punish her too severely?” Even Xu Shiting, who was also one of the founders of the Nether Abyss Empire, was a little scared when he saw Mo Linyuan’s furious expression.
“She knows that she made a terrible mistake?” Mo Linyuan’s eyes were so cold that they could freeze a person to death. “I am not allowed to punish her just because she knows how terrible it is? What if Rongrong is in critical condition?”
Xu Shiting said in fear, “Didn’t you just say that Miss Leng’s injury wasn’t very serious?”
He had only dared to beg for mercy after hearing about Leng Rongrong’s injuries.
Otherwise, he would not dare to ask for a lighter punishment in front of Mo Linyuan.
Mo Linyuan looked at Xu Shiting.
Xu Shiting shivered.
There was no need to say anything more. This time, no matter how he begged for mercy, it would be useless. Moreover, he might be implicated miserably.
Xu Shiting wanted to cry but had no tears.
“So, how should I punish her?”
Begging for it might be counterproductive, so he could only accept it graciously.
At least, Mo Linyuan knew that Xu Rule was one of his people. So, even if Mo Linyuan wanted to punish her, he would not kill her.
“Either throw her in the crocodile pool, the tiger den, the wild dog den, or the wolf den. Choose among those,” Mo Linyuan said in a dejected voice.
Tang Luo, who was following behind, shuddered.
In other words, Mo Linyuan wanted Xu Rule to receive the same treatment as Leng Rongrong and give her a taste of her own medicine.
“Don’t!” Xu Rule’s face turned as white as a sheet. She grabbed Mo Linyuan’s leg and said, “Lord Four, don’t! Don’t throw me in those places. Otherwise, I’d rather die!”
Those wild beasts were extremely ferocious, and she simply did not have the ability to deal with them.
The crocodile pool alone would surely obliterate her. What more could she say about the wolf den?
Mo Linyuan’s gaze fell on Xu Rule, who grabbed onto his pants.
Xu Rule trembled in fear and quickly retracted her hands. She knelt on the ground, and her tears kept falling. She was so scared that other than crying, she didn’t know what to do.
She just kept shaking her head, not daring to say anything.
“Lord Four, I’m afraid that the crocodile pool isn’t available. All the crocodiles have been dealt with.” Tang Luo reminded him in a low voice.
Mo Linyuan was bereft of speech.
“Choose among the remaining options. I am giving you twenty minutes,” Mo Linyuan said.
“I am picking the wild dog den. I will also choose for her. Leave her in the tiger den,” Xu Shiting said.
There were several wild dogs in the den. They would probably be difficult to deal with. Even so, that wouldn’t be a problem for Xu Shiting. He could last for 20 minutes.
As for Xu Rule, there was only one fierce tiger in the den. After 20 minutes inside, the worst that could happen was her getting injured. At least, she wouldn’t be eaten by the tiger.
Xu Shiting felt that this was the best choice. The hungry wolves were large in number. They were fierce too. Most likely, they were difficult to deal with. The danger level was comparable to a crocodile pool.
Leng Rongrong had been able to last for nearly an hour in the crocodile pool, which was really impressive.
If Xu Rule were to enter, she would probably die miserably in less than 3 minutes.
“Alright, that’s it then,” Mo Linyuan said coldly. “Tang Luo, send someone to keep an eye on them. They can only open the door after 20 minutes.”
“I don’t want to. I don’t want to go to the tiger den. I’ll die!”
Xu Rule pleaded desperately.
“I didn’t ask Leng Rongrong to enter the crocodile pool. Someone else came up with the scheme. It was not me!”
“What did you just say?”
Mo Linyuan looked at Xu Rule like a wild beast, and a dangerous aura flashed in his eyes.
“Someone came up with this idea. It’s that woman! It’s that woman! She’s the one who should go to the fierce tiger den, not me. Lord Four, believe me. I was only tricked to do this!”
Xu Rule told him about the woman.
Mo Linyuan gave Tang Luo a look, and Tang Luo instantly understood that he had to investigate this woman immediately.
“Lord Four, does that mean I don’t need to be punished?”
Xu Rule asked happily.
“Who said you don’t need to be punished?”
Mo Linyuan’s eyes were cold as he looked at Xu Rule.
Xu Rule’s beautiful face fell in an instant.
Was she still going to be punished?
Xu Rule’s face was ashen.
Mo Linyuan turned around and left without looking at her. A few minutes later, someone came to take Xu Rule and Xu Shiting away to punish them.
On the other hand, Leng Rongrong and Little Nanyu were in the villa when the doorbell suddenly rang.
Leng Rongrong and Little Nanyu both looked at the door at the same time.
Leng Rongrong was about to open the door when Little Nanyu said directly, “Mom, sit down. I’ll go take a look!”
Little Nanyu opened the door.
Then, he saw an ordinary-looking girl standing at the door. She seemed to be a little uneasy.
“Who are you?” Little Nanyu’s little face was filled with confusion.
He had never seen this person before.
“I’m looking for Miss Leng Rongrong. May I know if she’s here?” the girl asked thoughtfully.
“Oh, you are looking for my mother. She is here.” Little Nanyu opened the door and said graciously, “Please come in.”
The girl followed Little Nanyu in.
Very quickly, she saw Leng Rongrong sitting on the sofa. When she saw Leng Rongrong, the girl’s eyes were apologetic.
“I’m sorry, Miss Leng. I said I would help you before, but in the end, I didn’t manage to save you. I wonder how your injuries are,” the girl inquired.
“This has nothing to do with you. I should thank you instead. You helped me. I saw it all.”
Leng Rongrong looked at the girl and felt that the woman’s eyes and brows were similar to Xu Rule’s. Moreover, she looked like a beauty, but she was dressed very simply and plainly, so she didn’t look striking. It seemed like she was deliberately pretending to be unattractive.
This girl not only pretended to be unattractive but also kept a low profile.
She was obviously powerful, but she looked very timid.
What a strange girl…
However, Leng Rongrong still quite liked this girl. After all, she had helped her, and she seemed capable.
There was no loss in befriending powerful people.
“What’s your name?” Leng Rongrong asked. “Nice to meet you. Let’s be friends.”
“Xu Rourou.” The girl seemed to hesitate for a moment before she spoke.
“Xu Rourou?” Leng Rongrong raised her eyebrows. She had the same surname as Xu Shiting and Xu Rule, and she even looked somewhat similar to Xu Rule. It seemed like they were related.
“I’m Xu Rule’s sister and Xu Shiting’s niece. I’m sure you’ve heard of them.” Xu Rourou explained, “I’m not as good as them, and I’m not as famous as them.”
“That might not be the case.”
Leng Rongrong laughed. “In my opinion, you should be infinitely better than Xu Rule. Feel free to sit.”
Leng Rongrong chatted with Xu Rourou for a while and found out that Xu Rourou was quite defensive. She had been hiding her strength and kept a low profile.
However, this did not stop Leng Rongrong from liking her.
The two of them got along quite well, and Leng Rongrong made her first friend on this island that she liked.
