Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 167 - 164: Helpless Love

Ever since Tian Yaruo asked her to forgive that old man, Li Si had completely lost hope in her. Where did she place her own father?

Being hurt time and time again could be overlooked, but to completely forgive everything that old man had done? Was she trying to act saintly and wished for Li Si to selflessly become a saint as well?

If that’s really the only way she’d acknowledge Li Si as her daughter, then Li Si would rather forgo this mother-daughter relationship tainted by so much else!

Tian Yaruo shrank back, visibly hurt. She understood deep down that the words she’d said a while ago had utterly wounded this child. But on one side were her own sister and father, and on the other side was Li Si—what was she supposed to do?

Mrs. Leng noticed her unusual emotions and asked concernedly, "Mrs. Yan, what’s the matter?"

"Mrs. Leng, to be honest, my sister’s Ye’s Enterprise has run into some trouble recently. So today, considering the relationship between me and Li Si, I boldly wanted to ask you and your son if you could lend a hand."

Tian Yaruo stopped pretending and directly voiced her request.

After a moment of shock, Mrs. Leng first glanced at Tian Yaru’s anxious expression, then looked at Leng Mochen and Li Si, her face tinged with amusement.

"Mrs. Yan, what are you saying? If we can help, then of course we wouldn’t refuse! However, you must know that the current CEO of Leng Group is the child of my husband’s eldest brother’s family, not my Mochen. So even if we want to help, there’s just nothing we can do!"

After she finished speaking, Mrs. Leng felt secretly pleased, especially seeing Tian Yaru’s look of repressed anger—her mood was as refreshed as drinking a cold beverage on a hot summer day.

Li Si rolled her eyes in disbelief at her. She really had the audacity to talk about helping Ye Family for her and Li Si’s sake? What did she mean? Her face was truly thick!

Leng Mochen remained silent and brooding, never speaking.

Unwilling to give up, Tian Yaru nudged her sister, urging her to say more. She knew that even if she spoke herself, the others wouldn’t buy it; it might even make the situation awkward.

"Mrs. Leng, I heard that Young Master Leng’s Mo Si Company is quite strong on its own. Recently, the talent show program on satellite TV has been very popular. Would it be possible for him to help out? After all, we are practically family, aren’t we?"

Tian Yaruo forced herself to say these words, feeling suffocated. Asking for help from her own biological daughter’s future in-laws was not an easy position to be in.

Mrs. Leng’s eyes flashed with displeasure. She had originally intended to give her face out of respect for Mr. Yan, but the other party clearly had no concept of face at all.

Why should her precious son help the Ye Family? Even if Ye Cheng had some connections with her husband, Tian Yaru had spoken ill of her family behind her back. If she helped them now, wouldn’t she end up being labeled as the world’s biggest fool?

With such thoughts in mind, Mrs. Leng became blunt in her tone: "My Mochen’s company, indeed, has been performing well. Sponsoring programs has brought plenty of recognition.

However, he’s still in the early investment stages, not yet reaching the revenue phase. Mrs. Yan, forgive me for being straightforward—your Yan Family has always been financially strong. Your sister’s family and yours are already relatives—why seek external investments for help?

This seems unreasonable, doesn’t it? Or could it be that the issue is so dire that not even the Yan Family wants to intervene, choosing to sit idly by? In that case, it wouldn’t be proper for us outsiders to get involved, would it?"

Li Si couldn’t help but silently cheer for Mrs. Leng’s words—32 thumbs up for her! That was so satisfying, especially watching the two sisters from the Tian Family switch expressions like a messy palette.

Tian Yaru felt bitter inside; Mrs. Leng was absolutely right. Strictly speaking, the Yan Family could’ve lent assistance, but this time Yan Xuefeng had done nothing.

If it weren’t for her sister proactively doing her best to help secure funds, she would’ve marched over to the Yan Family and scolded them thoroughly. Back then, the Yan Family was far inferior to the Ye Family—if it weren’t for her introductions and connections, could mere scholarly family ties bring them to where they were today? Ridiculous!

Bitterness filled Tian Yaruo’s heart and mouth. At home, Mr. Yan Sr. had stated that the Ye Family’s crisis this time was extraordinary, claiming even their own company was facing challenges and couldn’t help. She was stuck, and her parents kept pressuring her nonstop to help her sister, insisting—if she didn’t step in, then who would?

She truly had no way to outright refuse; both sides were family, and the act of choosing felt impossible!

"Mrs. Leng, if it’s too difficult, then forget it—we’ll seek help elsewhere! Li Si, with the Spring Festival coming up soon, when are you planning to visit my house for New Year’s?"

Tian Yaruo remained determined to get Li Si on her side. By then, Li Si could possibly help persuade others. The Yan Family was clearly not an option for now, leaving only the Leng Family as her hopeful connection.

Li Si looked at her with disappointment, replying coldly, "I’m busy over the holiday, no time!"

How could she possibly spend New Year with them? Her intentions were laid bare after all—using her as part of the plan to forgive that old man. Clearly, there was no need for Li Si to hold onto any expectations anymore.

Mrs. Leng chimed in at this point: "Mrs. Ye, I recall attending your daughter’s engagement banquet recently. The Yin Family wouldn’t..." She was very pleased with Li Si’s response!

Though Mrs. Leng didn’t finish her sentence, everyone present clearly understood the implications. With the Yin Family being in an arranged marriage with the Ye Family and cooperative projects underway, how they would react to the Ye Family’s crisis was left open to speculation.

"How could they not help? Mrs. Yin treats my Weiwei wonderfully! Mrs. Leng, we truly didn’t think things through carefully. At first, we thought asking for help here could simultaneously create a profitable opportunity, benefiting both sides.

But since you’re not interested, then so be it. Sister, didn’t we have an appointment with President Zhang from Star? We’re likely running late—everyone, we’ll take our leave! We can meet again when time permits."

Tian Yaru straightened her back and wore a flawless confident smile, pulling along an utterly bewildered Tian Yaruo as they left.

Mrs. Leng watched their departing figures and shook her head. "Let’s go too! If I’d known it would turn out like this, we should’ve left first!" She hadn’t expected the absurd drama they’d stage today. Even if she felt vindicated, the scene had been far from graceful.

Recently, she’d heard rumors about financial issues within Ye’s Enterprise, but she hadn’t taken them seriously. Any corporation could face short-term tightening of funds. But seeing today’s events made it clear that the situation was far more severe than the rumors indicated.

Li Si held onto Mrs. Leng’s arm with an indifferent face, though her mind was racing. It appeared that the Ye Family truly was on the brink of collapse; otherwise, why would someone as prideful and arrogant as Tian Yaru stoop so low to plead?

She glanced warmly at Leng Mochen. He may not speak often, but his actions always showed his care for her. In her mind, she realized that the Tian Family’s bullying of her had sowed the seeds, while Ye’s Enterprise’s crisis was now bearing the bitter fruit.

Leng Mochen gave her a mischievous wink and cheekily glanced her up and down. With Mrs. Leng still present, Li Si refrained from openly reacting, retaliating playfully with an air-kiss and silently expressing her gratitude!
