Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 786 - 703: Reap What You Sow

No one could have predicted that they would openly talk about those gambling incidents, turning the tables and silencing the rumors themselves.

In this way, even if doubts arise in the future, there’s nothing to fear. Most people would surely think, if there were truly any issues, who would bring them up so openly like this instead of trying to cover it up?

Moreover, those who had initially planned to use this incident to threaten them would surely be furious.

As expected by Leng Mochen, when this exclusive interview was widely reported through newspapers, magazines, and media outlets, some people couldn’t sit still anymore.

Lu Qilin furiously tore apart the newspaper he held in his hands. He truly hadn’t expected Leng Mochen to possess such audacity and courage — daring to shamelessly define Li Si’s successful bet on jade stones as mere good luck in front of the entire nation’s media.

That day, the words Leng Mochen said had indeed left him scrambling. He was well aware of the secrets he carried.

The truth was that he wouldn’t withstand an investigation. Qilin Association operated covertly, but if someone were determined to investigate, they could certainly uncover something suspicious.

The jade stone business itself was rife with hidden secrets, things that couldn’t be disclosed to outsiders.

What made him most uneasy was that Leng Mochen actually knew about his relationship with He Yinyin. It was a matter far more complicated than what a businessman in his thirties could ordinarily grasp.

With Li Si’s interview released, other families promptly followed suit, riding the wave with similar reports. Many people, already intrigued by the gossip surrounding Li Si’s background and experiences, became even more curious.

Now, Li Si had boldly revealed herself, lifting the veil of mystery.

For a moment, public interest shifted entirely toward the tale of the "Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family," filled with admiration and hope.

This effectively diluted the gambling scandal, making it seem unimportant.

Except for a few individuals with vested interests and knowledge of the truth.

Qi Yayun sulked as she drank wine inside a private hotel room.

"Now that they’ve proactively exposed everything, what do we have left to rely on?"

Sitting opposite her was an elegant woman dressed luxuriously, appearing to be in her forties. There was an undeniable air of dominance in her expression.

She cast Qi Yayun a dismissive glance and said mockingly, "What’s the rush? Exposed means exposed! It was never a big deal to begin with! The things they said were akin to burning paper money at a grave — absolute nonsense meant to fool the dead!"

Qi Yayun couldn’t help but snort in dismissal. "It might not be a big deal to you! But to me, it’s a colossal matter! You know full well — I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to exchange that information for some benefits!

Now this? It’s all for nothing! Didn’t get anything at all!"

The woman’s eyes flashed with sharpness. "How can you say that? Haven’t you already profited enough?"

"And what about that? It’s worth nothing! Lately, I’ve been suffering miserably at the hands of that young member of the Jin Family. You saw it yourself, didn’t you?"

Bringing this up filled Qi Yayun with anger. She admitted she had acted carelessly on account of He Qingchi’s actions, not expecting Jin Yichen to find out.

In fact, Jin Yichen should technically call her ’aunt.’ Yet, he showed no mercy when dealing with her.

The woman sneered coldly, "And who’s to blame for that? You’re entirely responsible for your own misfortunes!"

Qi Yayun frowned in discontent. "He Yuanyuan! Spare me your cold remarks. You were the one pulling the strings when I made those moves! In the end, I got dragged into this mess because of He Qingchi, and you don’t even try to comfort me. Now, you’re mocking me instead!"

She was utterly infuriated. If she had known this was how things would turn out, she’d never have boarded the He Family’s boat.

Nor would she have trusted He Yuanyuan’s lies, tempted by profit to incite He Qingchi into disgraceful actions that implicated her as well.

He Yuanyuan flicked her freshly done nails, her face showing complete indifference. "Well, what do you want me to say about it then? Big Sis asked me to come to Beijing ahead of time — don’t you know why?

And the result? Nothing got done! If it weren’t for your connections to Wang Yi and Li Si, do you really think I’d even bother dealing with you? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As for He Qingchi, I just wanted some amusement watching her embarrass herself! That girl has been an eyesore since childhood!"

Qi Yayun froze at her words, thinking of past rumors, secretly gritting her teeth.

He Yuanyuan was part of the He Family’s main line, while He Qingchi belonged to a branch family. The hierarchy was transparent.

But He Qingchi was unusual; for some reason, she managed to win the favor of the He Family’s matriarch when she was young, enjoying a period of pampering that cultivated her arrogant and domineering personality.

Unfortunately, that pleasant time didn’t last long. After the matriarch passed away, He Qingchi was sent back to Beijing.

And speaking of Wang Yi and Li Si — He Yuanyuan wasn’t wrong in pointing out the truth.

But knowing was one thing, hearing it brazenly spoken out loud was another.

Unable to confront her head-on, Qi Yayun took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and asked calmly, "Fine! Let’s not dwell on past dramas. What should we do next?"

He Yuanyuan’s gaze rippled with intrigue, accompanied by a cold smile. "Just wait! Big Sis will be in Beijing in ten days, attending our little niece’s wedding. Whatever needs to be done, let her decide then!

After all, Li Si is already in Beijing — dealing with her won’t be difficult!"

Qi Yayun remained skeptical. After pausing to consider, she murmured, "Li Si’s husband isn’t someone to underestimate. Will it really be that easy?"

Leng Mochen wasn’t the type of person who would let anyone harm Li Si without consequences.

"What’s so hard about it!? Besides, hasn’t Li Si’s life been quite rocky recently? Didn’t you hear she was almost doused with sulfuric acid by someone named Ru? Oh right, I recall you’re familiar with her, aren’t you?

Wasn’t your ex-husband introduced to you by her? Haha..."

At this, He Yuanyuan let out an unrestrained laugh, leaving Qi Yayun desperately lowering her gaze to hide the fury and embarrassment in her eyes...

Meanwhile, Li Si, the subject of their schemes, was currently at Beijing Airport bidding someone farewell.

Today was the day Leng Family’s parents departed for overseas.

Mrs. Leng, maintaining her usual style, endlessly and affectionately caressed Buding’s little face and arms in Li Si’s embrace, regardless of whether he understood her, softly chattering, "Grandma’s sweet grandson! Be good! We’ll bring you gifts when we return! Don’t forget about us, okay?"

Saying so, she couldn’t resist taking the child from Li Si’s hands to kiss Buding’s cheeks and forehead.

Although Buding was young, he sensed Grandma’s emotions and giggled in response.

"Dad, Mom! Rest assured! Even when you’re abroad, you can make frequent calls. The child won’t forget you!"

Mrs. Leng nodded with satisfaction, holding the child in one arm and Li Si’s hand in the other, smiling warmly. "Sisi, we’re relying on you while we’re away! Mochen is always busy, and if you’re overwhelmed, ask Xiao Ning for help. As an aunt, it’s only right for her to assist."
