Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 846 - 763: Same Here

Li Si said to Bai Shasha dismissively, "People are naturally multi-faceted! Do you only show him one side of yourself?"

Bai Shasha giggled mischievously, "No! Haha! First of all, I do keep up a bit of an act in front of him! I haven’t yet revealed my true tomboy nature!"

"Come on! How come I haven’t noticed any tomboy traits in you?"

"I grind my teeth, fart, and smack my lips in my sleep!"

Li Si gave her a thumbs-up, "Impressive!"

Su Meng exclaimed, "I’m convinced!"

Among the three of them, Xu Er’s parents are still open-minded, with no apparent conflicts so far.

As Bai Shasha would put it, this might just be the calm before the storm, who knows what conflicts might arise once her mom arrives?

Li Si deeply felt that it’s not that they were too pessimistic, but that reality was simply like that.

Marriage is not just the union of two individuals; it’s also the collision of two families.

Regarding concepts and certain ways of thinking and habits, it’s inevitable that there will be some discordant voices when facing a newborn.

Ultimately, it depends on how Xu Er and Bai Shasha resolve things and how they navigate between their parents to find a balance.

Bai Shasha asked Li Si, "Don’t just talk about me! Si, how’s your mother-in-law lately?"

Ouyang Yan had also undergone many changes recently, so Li Si felt it wasn’t too bad.

"Pretty good! If things continue like this, I’d be quite content!"

"Keep dreaming, nothing’s happened yet. Just wait till something does; your mother-in-law might be a handful!"

Bai Shasha had experienced Mrs. Leng’s change of face when Qian Rouxuan and John’s child was scratched by Xiao Guai, so she felt anything was possible.

Li Si nodded helplessly, "Indeed! I shouldn’t be so idealistic about everything. But since nothing’s happened yet, I’ll just enjoy each good day as it comes!"

Even if Leng Mochen had changed at the core, in the eyes of others, she was still the daughter-in-law of the Leng Family, wasn’t she?

So, as someone’s daughter-in-law, she had to be filial to her in-laws, and naturally, some things Mrs. Leng did could be forgiven!

"Glad you understand! Don’t be fooled by temporary illusions of bliss! Stay alert!"

Bai Shasha finished speaking and noticed Su Meng listening silently, looking thoughtful. She hurriedly asked Su Meng, "Meng Meng! What’s up with you? Silence is golden?"

Su Meng moved her lips but ended up telling the two of them about her growing discontent with Mrs. Long.

Listening to Su Meng breaking her usual style, passionately describing the things Mrs. Long did that upset and angered her, Li Si instinctively exchanged a glance with Bai Shasha, both seeing the concern in each other’s eyes.

It seemed the issues between Su Meng and Long Wu involved not just the two of them but also both of their mothers.

When Su Meng was having her baby, that scene outside the delivery room would eventually become a ticking time bomb, and if it explodes one day, who knows what awaits them...

...

Leng Mochen’s prediction was accurate; sure enough, following a series of actions by Long Wu, Lu Qilin soon proactively contacted Leng Mochen for a meeting.

In a tearoom, the two sat facing each other, both wearing enigmatic expressions.

After a long silence, a complex expression flashed across Lu Qilin’s face, and finally, unable to hold it in, he spoke first, "I didn’t expect President Leng to be so young and accomplished, with such extensive connections. I am impressed! Truly impressed!"

Who would have thought that he, the one who always played with eagles, got pecked in the eye by an eagle!

Leng Mochen looked at him coldly from across the table, slightly curling his lips, "Right back at you!"

If it weren’t for Lu Qilin’s Fengya Pavillion causing trouble in the first place, intentionally stirring up issues, he and Long Wu wouldn’t have taken any measures against them.

As the saying goes, tit-for-tat is only fair.

"Since we’re sitting here, let’s have a good talk!"

The few batches of large amounts of goods Fengya Pavillion had received recently were all high-grade counterfeits. Plus, people kept causing a ruckus, making normal business operations incredibly challenging.

They were all people from the antiques circle; a little asking around would reveal the truth, eventually pointing to Long Wu as the one pulling the strings.

Linking it to previous incidents, it became evident they were retaliating against them!

Leng Mochen relaxed back in his seat with an indifferent expression, "Alright! What do you want to discuss?"

He had some predictions about the meeting with Lu Qilin today, but his expression remained unchanged.

Lu Qilin looked at him solemnly, "Alright then! I won’t beat around the bush. Let’s get straight to the point! Actually, from the first time we met, I had a very good impression of you! I even thought of becoming friends with you despite the age gap!

But, until later by chance, I found out that my youngest son, Lu Zhengming, was imprisoned for economic crimes related directly to you!

What kind of grievance existed between you two for you to destroy a person’s life this way?"

He investigated the matter extensively but found nothing conclusive. The only link was that Leng Mochen’s wife, Li Si, was from North City, and there was no connection between her and his son Lu Zhengming either!

In short, the things Leng Mochen did to his youngest son completely baffled him. Ask yourself, who would go to such lengths to harm Lu Zhengming without any grievance?

A deep irony flashed in Leng Mochen’s eyes, and he sneered, "I have no idea what you’re talking about. How would I even know your son? Let alone send him to prison?! I didn’t even know I had that much power?"

So Lu Qilin really knew it was him who did it! With that, everything before fell into place! What a ridiculous situation? Perhaps even in his dreams, Lu Qilin wouldn’t have guessed that the son he dearly protected, Lu Zhengming, not only killed him in the past life!

But in this life, he also ended up being the one who killed that Lu Zhenghang!

Seems like he should find an opportunity to reveal this to Lu Qilin without exposing himself, to let him know what "good deeds" his youngest son had done!

Lu Qilin had anticipated his outright denial, so he remained composed, sarcastically retorting, "President Leng, a truthful person doesn’t act in deceit. Since you’ve done it, why quickly pretend not to know and deny it? Since I’m questioning you so confidently, I naturally have enough evidence proving it’s your doing."

"Oh? There’s evidence?" Leng Mochen squinted, "Then please, Mr. Lu, present it to convince me genuinely!"

He didn’t believe Lu Qilin would have direct evidence of his involvement! Even if there was, at most, it would be like Qin Xin’s vague suspicions back then!

Because it was due to Lu Zhengming’s own issues that he had the opportunity to act!

Moreover, when dealing with Lu Zhengming back then, the timing was perfect, it happened exactly when Lu Qilin was not in the country.

Therefore, it was executed smoothly and rapidly, otherwise, knowing Lu Qilin’s capabilities later, it wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with Lu Zhengming!

Now, looking back, it all seems to be destiny! Destined to be in his favor!
