"I didn't mean that," said Chu Jianan in a deep voice. He guessed that it must have something to do with the Leng family, but it wasn't related to Leng Xiaoyao. It must have been done by Leng Yuqi's parents.

After all, Leng Yuqi had a bad relationship with Leng Xiaoyao, so Leng Xiaoyao wouldn't stand out for Leng Yuqi. As a result, Chu Jianan didn't think that it could be Leng Xiaoyao.

He had no idea that his actions humiliated the Leng family. In fact, he was beaten this time not just because of what he had done to Leng Yuqi.

"Not because of her? Then who?" asked Mrs. Chu. She was confused and frowned. They didn't know what the reason could be if the Leng family didn't hate Chu Jianan for what Chu Jianan had done to Leng Xiaoyao.

Chu Jianan didn't dare to keep it a secret, so he told his parents about what had happened between Leng Yuqi and him. He didn't want to do that, but he was left with no choice.

"What…"

Knowing the reason, Chu Zhaofeng and Mrs. Chu felt a little guilty. Their anger also lessened a lot.

However, Mrs. Chu was still displeased. After all, it was her son who had been beaten. "Even if you did that, they shouldn't have paid someone to beat you. They can't force you to be loyal to Leng Yuqi."

"I know, but Jianan has betrayed Leng Yuqi. It's his fault. Even if the Leng family is mad and wants to beat him, it's understandable. Anyway, Jianan isn't really injured, so it's equal," said Chu Zhaofeng. Although it also hurt him when Chu Jianan was beaten, he felt that he shouldn't criticize the Leng family for that. After all, he cared about his face!

Honestly, he disagreed with Chu Jianan's behavior and felt it was extremely wrong, so he was also mad at Chu Jianan.

If the news went abroad, the Chu family would be embarrassed!

"He's not injured? Can't you see that Jianan is in pain right now? Do you really think he's not injured?" Mrs. Chu exclaimed. Seeing Chu Jianan in so much pain, she was hurt to the core. "It's Leng Changyuan who forbade Leng Yuqi to be together with Jianan, why couldn't Jianan get together with other girls?"

She played the blame game.

"Shut up! Enough! No matter how much pain he's in right now, the medical check shows that he's not injured. If you want the Leng family to take responsibility, they might sue you for slander instead. And there is no evidence to prove it was done by the Leng family. It's unreasonable for you to rush to pin the blame on the Leng family," Chu Zhaofeng said in anger. He cared about Chu Jianan too, but they needed evidence.

"I…" Mrs. Chu didn't realize that until this moment. She quickly closed her mouth, feeling less angry.

Chu Jianan was suspicious of the Leng family and even believed that it was done by them, but he had more enemies than just the Leng family. Therefore, he couldn't say for sure that it was done by the Leng family.

Therefore, Chu Zhaofeng went to conduct an investigation first. They would see what they could do afterwards.

Leng Xiaoyao and the others went home after having night snacks. Because they all drank a little, they didn't drive. Anyway, Leng Xiaoyao was so strong, she would be safer than them, so they weren't worried about her safety and on one offered to send her home.

As soon as Leng Xiaoyao walked away, Ling Tianqi and his friends suddenly became angry. Pei Heran said, "Tianqi, shouldn't we teach Chu Jianan a lesson for Xiaoyao and the Leng family? I feel what Chu Jianan has suffered today was not enough."

"I agree." Feng Rui chimed in. Although they hadn't spent much time with Leng Xiaoyao yet, Leng Xiaoyao had helped them a lot. They sincerely took Leng Xiaoyao as their friend and idol. Therefore, when the Leng family was humiliated, they were also angry.

"No wonder we're brothers! We have the same idea, but Chu Jianan is already injured. We can't beat him again. What else do you think we can do?" asked Ling Tianqi. After finding out why Leng Xiaoyao beat Chu Jianan, he had the idea of teaching Chu Jianan a lesson, but he didn't tell Leng Xiaoyao right away.

"Isn't the Chu family bidding for the Chengtian project? I heard that Chu Jianan is in charge of it and he got it using connections, but they haven't signed the contract yet," said Feng Rui.

"I'll go get it and rob Chu Jianan of it," Ling Tianqi said evilly.

The Chengtian project wasn't very important, so the Ling family had no interest in it and didn't bother to compete for it.

However, in order to teach Chu Jianan a lesson, Ling Tianqi decided to bid for the project.

Facing the Chu family and the Ling family, smart people wouldn't hesitate to work with the Ling family. After all, one was an average rich family, while the other was a second-class rich family. There was a big difference.

The surveillance cameras outside the bar were already damaged by Leng Xiaoyao. As a result, Chu Zhaofeng's people couldn't get a clue from the surveillance cameras, but from witnesses they learned that it was a girl dressed in black with a baseball cap and a mask.

Chu Zhaofeng and his wife subconsciously thought that Chu Jianan might have hurt another girl.

"Do you have a sexual relationship with other girls in addition to Leng Yuqi and Jiang Yihan?" Chu Zhaofeng asked unhappily. It seemed that his son lived a life with wild abandon.

He knew that it was Chu Jianan's fault, but he didn't bother to heavily criticize him for that. It was normal that men were disloyal. Moreover, Chu Jianan's relationship with Leng Yuqi wasn't public.

However, if Chu Jianan paid for sex and spent too much energy on that, he would be extremely disappointed.

A man who paid for sex all day couldn't be the Chu family's heir.

Chu Jianan was talented in business to some extent, but he wasn't outstanding, so he needed to focus and couldn't be distracted by prostitutes.

If Chu Jianan couldn't be a qualified heir, he had to…

Because Chu Zhaofeng hadn't proven it yet, he didn't continue to think about it. After all, it was an embarrassing secret.

"No." Chu Jianan denied. It was the truth, because he had no interest in paid sex. He only needed women to satisfy him physically sometimes.

Chu Zhaofeng was relieved.

"If not, it must have something to do with the Leng family," said Mrs. Chu.

"Hard to say. You might have messed with some men. Have you had conflicts against anyone recently?" asked Chu Zhaofeng. Even if he was suspicious of the Leng family, he wouldn't jump to conclusions. Sometimes, the person they were most suspicious of might not be the criminal.
