Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 153 - 150 Tian Family’s Calculations

Tian Yaruo stood up irritably, her finger pointing sharply at her: "Did I ever say I wouldn’t help? You also know, I’ve never meddled in business matters, it’s always been my husband Lao Yan who handles them.

I went home and brought it up, and he said business is tough these days. Can’t we take some time to consider? Can’t you even give me that much time?"

The old man and old lady were both visibly moved. "What are you two talking about?"

Tian Yaru sat down sulking, complaining tearfully, "My family’s business has hit some troubles and needs funds. Who would’ve thought that those we used to have good relationships with are now all avoiding us like the plague?

I originally thought my younger sister wouldn’t be like that, but who knew she’d have the same attitude? Tell me, wouldn’t that break my heart?

Younger sister, don’t you forget, the good life you’re living now has my contributions! Without me, what kind of life would you have had with that poor loser?"

"You... How could you say something like that?" Tian Yaruo could never have imagined that this was how she’d been seen in her sister’s heart all along.

So many years had passed. She’d told herself not to hate, not to resent, that everyone had acted with the best intentions for her back then.

But now, wasn’t this scene just laughably absurd and outright maddening? For Tian Yaru to say such things—wasn’t she plunging a knife into her heart in broad daylight?

Mr. Tian was stunned by the news he’d just learned.

Since retiring, he had spent his days raising birds and fishing, hanging out with his old buddies, always feeling a sense of pride, mainly because his two daughters had brought him honor.

His daughters had both married successful men, making him an enviable figure among his peers.

The old lady sadly took her younger daughter’s hand. "Little one, don’t be like your elder sister. She’s just anxious and upset, speaking in haste. She doesn’t really think that way! Eldest daughter, say something now!"

This had been a pattern with the eldest daughter: whenever something didn’t go her way, she’d seize the chance to complain to their father, making life hard for the youngest.

But this time was different. This time, she had gone too far. How could she say such things?

Tian Yaru also realized her misstep and quickly plastered an apologetic smile on her face. "Little sister, I spoke without thinking because I was too anxious. Don’t take it to heart. After all these years, don’t you know how I’ve treated you? This crisis with Lao Ye’s company is very real. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to ask for your help!"

Mr. Tian’s heart still inclined toward the eldest daughter. Seeing that Tian Yaruo remained unmoved, her head still lowered, he couldn’t help but pipe up: "Brothers fight on the battlefield, but united they’re invincible! Are you two sisters really planning to hold grudges? Go back and talk it over with Lao Yan; he should support his brother-in-law’s business when it’s needed!"

Tian Yaruo still said nothing, her face full of conflict.

Tian Yaru masked the malice in her eyes and pretended to be helpless as she suggested, "Little sister, if Lao Yan truly can’t help, why don’t we turn to Li Si?"

Tian Yaruo raised her head in anger and glared at her coldly: "What for?"

It was fine if her daughter wasn’t mentioned, but the moment she thought of it—remembering how her sister had once called her daughter a "little slut"—a fire ignited in her heart, and she couldn’t hold back her fury.

How could Tian Yaru be so blatantly biased? Thinking of all the years she had treated Weiwei well, now the memories left her feeling unworthy and bitterly disappointed.

The old lady gently pressed down on her excited daughter’s shoulder to calm her. "Eldest daughter, just say what’s on your mind, and we’ll figure something out together!" No matter what, in a mother’s heart, her daughters were equally precious.

"That boyfriend of Li Si’s is from the Leng Family. I saw Mrs. Leng at Weiwei’s engagement banquet, and she seemed to be very kind to the girl.

With their financial resources, if we could get Li Si to approach Mrs. Leng or Young Master Leng to help Lao Ye, wouldn’t this crisis be resolved?"

Tian Yaru voiced her thoughts. Even though she looked down on Li Si, she had to admit the girl had some luck, managing to find a fiancé from a family as powerful as the Leng Family.

"Well, if that’s the case, Yaruo, why not reach out to that girl? It’s just a few words—it shouldn’t be that hard." Mr. Tian sighed in relief. He had been racking his brain earlier, wondering how to fix this predicament.

Now that he heard this plan, he felt it wasn’t a big deal at all.

"A few words? Am I naïve, or are you all too naïve? Do you think this is some small matter?"

Tian Yaruo bitterly looked at her family. How could they oversimplify things so much? Didn’t Lao Yan hesitate to get involved because the financial hole at the Ye Family was simply too vast?

And now they wanted her to broach this with Tiantian? She was only dating that man; why would he go out of his way to help them?

Not to mention, how had her elder sister treated Tiantian before? Now they expected her to help, just like that? The mere thought made it seem utterly impossible! Especially since that man, surnamed Leng, was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

"Her aunt’s family is in trouble, and as a niece, how could she not help? Little one, why not give it a try?" The old lady urged softly.

She knew there were issues between them and understood that her eldest daughter had spoken poorly and offended people before. But times had changed, hadn’t they? Wouldn’t someone in trouble be more forgiving and understanding?

"Yaruo, if you’re finding it too difficult, how about this: tell her I, her grandfather, want to meet her and invite her out for a meal! At the table, I’ll gently persuade her. Can she really refuse if I put it kindly?"

Mr. Tian gritted his teeth and proposed the idea. In his entire life, he had rarely lowered his head to anyone, especially not to someone from a rural background he had once looked down on. But for his eldest daughter’s sake, he decided to swallow his pride this time.

Looking at her family’s contradictory attitudes, Tian Yaruo felt a wave of bitterness but ultimately relented, saying, "I’ll try."

Lao Yan didn’t want to involve himself in this mess. Even though she resented her elder sister, she couldn’t avoid helping at this point. Hopefully, a miracle would occur!

Meanwhile, still unaware of all this, Li Si was supervising the renovations at the beauty spa.

Leng Mochen really lived up to his reputation; even his subordinates were highly capable. He had assigned a few exceptionally competent staff members to assist her. As a result, apart from offering occasional input, she mostly had just minor tasks to handle.

The woman she had previously helped, Xia Yu, was also there, busily assisting all around. However, in adhering to her principle of working more and talking less, Xia Yu left Li Si with a heart full of curiosity but no answers to her questions.

Just as Li Si was bored out of her mind, lounging in the office chair on the second floor and itching to climb the walls, Leng Mochen pushed the door open.

"What are you doing?" he asked, holding a blue lunchbox in his hand. Seeing her light up like a puppy greeting its owner, he asked curiously.

"Chen, you really know me inside out! How did you guess this is what I wanted to eat?" She excitedly opened the box, and a delicious aroma wafted out. Oh, how adorable these little buns were!

"Someone told me," he replied casually.

At that moment, she bit into one with delight, the fresh crabmeat instantly filling her mouth with an amazing flavor. Speaking through her full mouth, she asked, "Who?"

"Me!" Long Wu said as he barged in uninvited. He’d thought Sisi was planning something major with this project, but it turned out to just be a beauty spa. Still, it didn’t look bad.

Li Si shot him a sidelong glance. "I don’t believe you. As if you’d know what I want."

"Leng Er, did you see that? That’s the difference between how she treats her fiancé and her brother!" Long Wu clutched his chest dramatically and slumped onto the sofa, crossing his legs and shaking one foot. "I thought this was a great idea and brought it over for you to try, but you’re not even grateful! So heartbreaking!" (To be continued.
