Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 169 - 166: Sowing Discord

But upon closer inspection, Mrs. Leng realized something was wrong. The boy’s face was flushed, and his eyes were tightly shut.

Could it be...

"Brother Yin and I are just friends! Li Si, I didn’t expect you to be in Beijing too. Mr. Leng, nice to meet you! This must be Auntie, right? Hello, Auntie! Alright, Brother Yin is drunk. I’ll take him away first. We can chat another time!"

Zhou Rou tried to step past Li Si to enter the elevator, but Li Si blocked her with an outstretched hand. "There’s nothing for us to talk about. But you, you’re not leaving yet, no matter what you’re scheming!"

Mrs. Leng shared the same sentiment. "Mochen, help her bring the boy over!"

Without a word, Leng Mochen stepped forward to assist Li Si. No matter how capable Zhou Rou was, she couldn’t overpower two people. Reluctantly, she handed Yin Xian over, forcing a smile. "Li Si, what are you doing? I heard you and Mr. Leng are together now, yet you’re still so concerned about Brother Yin. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?" After speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Mrs. Leng.

Li Si’s heart sank. Zhou Rou’s words—if overheard by others—would surely lead to misunderstandings.

But when she glanced at Mrs. Leng, her expression remained calm despite overhearing the conversation.

At that moment, Mrs. Leng felt there was something suspicious about this woman. Although her words were unsettling, Mrs. Leng chose to ignore them and sternly questioned, "Who are you? What’s wrong with him?"

Zhou Rou hadn’t expected her attempt at sowing discord to backfire into an interrogation. "Brother Yin just drank too much. I was just trying to help by sending him back. Since you know him, I’ll leave him to you. Li Si, we’ll talk another time!"

"Stop right there! Zhou Rou!" Li Si coldly blocked her again. "I told you, if we meet again, we’re no longer friends. So don’t try to stir up trouble. What did you do to him?" She had just touched his skin—it was burning abnormally hot. Clearly, he was already unconscious.

"I apologize for everything I’ve done to you before, but today has nothing to do with me! If you don’t believe me, wait until Brother Yin wakes up and ask him yourself!" Zhou Rou appeared to be wronged, but Li Si clearly didn’t buy it.

Mrs. Leng couldn’t discern the truth of the situation but could tell something was definitely wrong. She spoke up, "Mochen, Sisi, let’s take him to the hospital!"

Although it was a good deed, she didn’t want to accidentally cause a problem. After living for so many years, she had seen enough examples of good intentions going awry. Just from a glance, it was clear that something had happened to that boy from the Yin Family.

Taking the opportunity, Zhou Rou stepped into the elevator and quickly closed the doors. Li Si regretfully watched the elevator descend before turning her gaze to the unconscious Yin Xian. Helplessly, she assisted Leng Mochen in supporting him.

Leng Mochen intentionally glanced at her icily, though he knew she was acting out of goodwill. After all, Zhou Rou was a malicious person. If something happened to Yin Xian and they encountered him but chose not to help, it would weigh heavily on their conscience in the future.

Li Si felt utterly wronged. She secretly glared at Yin Xian. She really didn’t want anything to do with him. The entire Yin Family seemed strange. Who knew if helping him this time would turn out good or bad? ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

At long last, they managed to get him to the hospital. While waiting on a bench in the corridor, Mrs. Leng finally spoke, "Sisi, did you know the Ye Family’s son-in-law before?"

There had been no time to think about what that young woman had said earlier. But now that things had settled down, Mrs. Leng recalled her words—it was obvious they held a particular implication.

"Auntie, two years ago I came here on a trip and rescued a lost little boy. He was her nephew, the child of her older brother. That woman we saw at the banquet asking about our relationship was his aunt." Li Si explained everything honestly, trying to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.

She had finally encountered a mother-in-law who treated her well, and she cherished it deeply!

Once again, Mrs. Leng sighed, "Sisi, you’re such a kind and compassionate child! Don’t worry, I won’t think too much about it. A person as bad as her doesn’t deserve any credibility!"

Leng Mochen had already gone back to the company. Otherwise, he would’ve surely chided Li Si, saying she wasn’t kind-hearted but just overly soft.

The two continued chatting for a while until a doctor finally emerged. They learned that Yin Xian had been drugged. If they hadn’t intercepted him in time, who knows what might’ve happened?

The drug was illegally obtained and administered in excessive amounts, causing harm to his body. That was why he had lost consciousness. Fortunately, they brought him in quickly; otherwise, the consequences would’ve been unimaginable.

When the Yin Family arrived at the hospital after hearing the news, Mrs. Yin furiously cursed whoever had harmed Yin Xian. Upon learning it was Li Si and Mrs. Leng who had saved him, she profusely expressed her gratitude. Yin Qi, standing aside, had a complex expression and remained silent.

Seeing that everything was under control, Mrs. Leng and Li Si took their leave.

When Yin Xian woke up and heard the full story, he still found it hard to believe! He never expected that seemingly gentle Zhou Rou would do something like this. As for the money, if it was gone, it was gone; he had no complaints.

But for Li Si and the Leng Family to step in and save him—it made him feel ashamed and utterly humiliated.

Mrs. Yin didn’t want Ye Duowei to escalate the situation, so she was kept entirely in the dark.

Time quickly passed, and it was now the day before Lunar New Year’s Eve in 2006. The weather in Beijing was wonderful, and Li Si, along with Su Meng, went to the supermarket early to buy lots of festive supplies. They planned to spend the New Year together.

As for the Leng Family, they had already arranged to pay them a New Year’s visit on Lunar New Year’s Eve. This allowed Li Si to breathe a sigh of relief. Originally, Mrs. Leng wanted her to visit today, but she felt it wasn’t appropriate to go so soon since they weren’t married yet.

Ever since Mrs. Su recovered, she had become the chef of Li Si’s household. This delighted Li Si, who had longed to eat her mother’s cooking for so long, making her feel incredibly happy.

Looking at the table full of vibrant dishes, Li Si picked up her drink and unexpectedly felt her eyes grow warm. Although it was just the three of them celebrating the New Year this year, she felt immeasurably comfortable, cozy, and content.

Reflecting on last year, when she had spent the New Year in the countryside with no sense of family or festivity, she felt even more grateful for all she had now.

"Come on, let’s make this a joyful day—no crying allowed! Here’s to a happy and prosperous new year for all of us!" She noticed the emotional expressions of Su Meng and her mother, so she preemptively lightened the mood.

Su Meng raised her glass, looking at Li Si with heartfelt sincerity. "Sisi, there’s no need for me to say too much—I’ll never be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime. Wishing you a happy New Year in advance!"

Sometimes, she could hardly imagine what would have happened if it weren’t for Li Si’s casual act of kindness. Su Meng might still be living in despair, not even knowing who she truly was. After several sessions of hypnosis, she had managed to recall many memories from the past.

The thought that she might have awakened only after her mother had passed away was unbearable. If that were the case, she would have preferred to remain lost in oblivion.

"Exactly! If our Meng Meng hadn’t met you, she might never have found her way home. Auntie sincerely thanks you too. Wishing you academic success and good health in the new year! I’m not very good with words, but I just hope you’ll have peace and happiness in the future!"

Mrs. Su wiped her eyes and smiled as she spoke. Although her husband was no longer there, having her daughter back was a source of great joy, and she wouldn’t cry.

The three of them, filled with genuine emotion, drank the red liquid in their glasses and shared a smile.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Li Si teasingly nudged Su Meng. "Oh, looks like someone’s here to see you!" (To be continued.
