Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 861 - 778: We Will

Leng Ning smiled and nodded, "Of course! Oh! Dad! Don’t worry! You spent so little time at home all those years, and yet Mom, my brother, and I got along just fine!

So you really don’t need to worry about it! Besides, isn’t my sister-in-law and Buding here with us now? Mom won’t be lonely!

Moreover, Dad, you and Mom are in the twilight of your love story, so instead of us showing more concern for Mom, it would be effective if you said something caring or did something heartwarming..."

Leng Qiankai shook his head helplessly: Well! He only said a few words, but look at his daughter, she has a lot to say about them.

Leng Qiankai cleared his throat, interrupting Leng Ning’s chattering, "Xiao Ning! Tomorrow you are getting married. Dad wants to remind you of a couple of things: once you enter the Jin Family and become their daughter-in-law, you need to put away your little temper and stubbornness and get along well with Jin Yichen and old Jin. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Even if I don’t say it, you can see that the Jin family has a good family atmosphere, so in the future, there might be disagreements, but major conflicts are unlikely..."

Ever since the misunderstanding with Jin Jiachao was cleared, even he had to admit that Jin Jiachao was a decent person.

As for Jin Yichen, although he still had some concerns, there wouldn’t be any issues with his character.

But, dating and marriage are two different things. Watching his daughter step into marriage, how could he not say more, impart some of his insights and experiences? Of course, these insights and experiences might not be entirely correct either.

Leng Ning quietly listened to her usually reticent father, who now was saying this long and winding speech, and felt a wave of sadness wash over her.

Tomorrow, she would marry Jin Yichen and build a small family with him, no longer the little girl who could throw tantrums at will in front of her parents...

Ouyang Yan watched as her daughter was called into the study by her husband, and understood they were about to have a pre-wedding talk, which made her feel somewhat miserable.

The daughter she doted on since she was young was suddenly getting married, it’s hard for a mother to feel entirely happy in such a situation.

Even though she knew her daughter was marrying well and wasn’t going far, so they could meet or have meals together or come back anytime.

Still, she felt a pang of bitterness, so she picked up Buding from the housekeeper and moved to the sofa in the living room to chat with someone, to dispel the unpleasant feelings.

Wang Meishu saw Buding and, as always, kept flattering her as if compliments were free, something Ouyang Yan was used to and thus didn’t react much.

But Leng Shuang’s mother, curious as always, asked questions left and right.

Ouyang Yan answered a few casually, noticing Leng Shuang’s mother didn’t look too well. Even though makeup was applied, the blue under her eyes and red blood veins in her eyes showed she hadn’t rested well.

Ouyang Yan then asked lightly, "You don’t look well! Haven’t rested enough?"

Leng Shuang’s mother quickly waved her hands, "No, I’ve rested well! Do I look that bad?" she said while unconsciously touching her face.

"A bit! By the way, why didn’t Leng Shuang come?"

In fact, since the incident where Xu Er got injured by Leng Shuang, Ouyang Yan had long wanted to avoid further interactions with Leng Shuang’s family.

But as Leng Shuang’s mother had been helpful recently, she maintained appearances.

Leng Shuang’s mother’s face stiffened unnaturally, quickly putting on a smile, "Oh! That kid! Of all times to get sick, she caught a cold and fever as soon as she returned to the country, while tomorrow is Xiao Ning’s wedding day. She’s afraid of infecting Xiao Ning, so she stayed home!"

Feeling a wave of bitterness she couldn’t share with others as it was too embarrassing and shameful.

Ouyang Yan thought she was lying but didn’t expose her, thinking it was better if Leng Shuang didn’t come. Xiao Ning was unhappy last time when she praised Leng Shuang a bit too much!

"I see! That child is considerate! But actually, it’s fine, the young are healthy; they don’t infect so easily!

Not coming today, no need to bother her at this hour! But have her come earlier tomorrow!"

Leng Shuang’s mother felt as though Ouyang Yan had seen through her lie.

Moreover, Ouyang Yan’s words seemed suggestive, but what could she say? She could only smile and respond, "Of course! Tomorrow I’ll have her come early! As sisters, she should help more while her sister is getting married!" Yet her face appeared unnaturally stiff and wooden.

At this point, Wang Meishu chimed in while listening to their conversation, "Your daughter’s sick? Is it because she just came back and hasn’t adapted to the place, climate, or temperature? When we returned back then, we also got infected by viruses very easily..."

Wang Meishu’s reply full of empathy, made Leng Shuang’s mother feel a sense of shared understanding, chatting with her eagerly.

"Yes! It was unexpected! Otherwise, how could she not be here?! It’s a big day for her sister!"

"No worries! Everyone can understand!"

Ouyang Yan glanced at the two, disliking their phony gestures, and turned away to console Buding, preferring not to see or deal with it.

After Leng Ning was called away by Leng Qiankai, Li Si helped take care of Leng Ning’s good friends for a while. Seeing it was getting late, just as she was about to get up, Leng Ning returned with red-rimmed eyes.

"Xiao Ning?!" Li Si gave her an inquiring look.

Leng Ning covered her mouth, smiling and shaking her head, "Sister-in-law! I’m fine! Ah! It’s all Dad’s fault for saying such emotional things, making me..."

Li Si understood, for some reason suddenly thinking of her own dad, if he were alive, would he have said emotional words to her the night before her wedding?

Suppressing the emotions rising within her, she smiled, patting Leng Ning on the shoulder, "I understand! Xiao Ning! Look how blessed you are! Take care! I’ll go put Buding to bed! Don’t chat too late with your friends! You need to be a radiant bride tomorrow!"

Noticing the subtle change in Li Si’s expression, Leng Ning suddenly gave her a warm hug, "Sister-in-law! We will all be very happy from now on!"

Li Si returned the hug just as tightly, whispering, "Xiao Ning, we will!"

She understood the meaning behind Leng Ning’s sudden hug and was deeply touched!

Upon leaving Leng Ning’s room, Li Si let out a breath, thinking of the emotional words Leng Ning attributed to her father stirred her emotions, recalling how on her wedding day, no one had said anything emotional to her, not even a word.

With her father gone and her self-centered mother, she claimed indifference on the outside, but deep down? How could she not long for familial love?

Luckily, she now had her own little family, so those regrets didn’t matter anymore.

Living, one must look forward, right?

Li Si shook her head, smiling at her sudden sentimentality; it’s Xiao Ning’s happy day, what was there to be sentimental or melancholic about?
