Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 870 - 787: Not Her

Leng Mochen saw that Li Si was really anxious with him, and quickly and patiently comforted her, "Don’t be anxious, I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to hold back and would insist on seeing Leng Ning and the others.

After what happened, the venue was so chaotic, how could I let you and Buding be in danger again?"

It was because of this that he didn’t say a word to Li Silu until Leng Ning’s wedding ceremony was about to be completed that he then spoke to her.

Li Si finally regained some rationality, and in her heart she understood that he did the right thing!

Why was she here watching Buding? Wasn’t it because she could only be at ease by taking care of him herself? Even if Leng Mochen had immediately told her at the time, what use would it have been?

What was meant to happen still happened!

Li Si’s mood eased a bit, and her fingers unconsciously patted Buding’s back, "Did Xiao Ning and the others get seriously affected by this?"

She was still relatively concerned about this issue!

Leng Mochen recalled Jin Yichen’s calm response and curled his lips, "No! That kid Jin Yichen is someone who can handle things; how would he lose his composure over this;

As for Leng Ning, she wasn’t affected at the time, though she got a bit scared later, but Jin Yichen comforted her with a few words and she completely calmed down, so don’t worry about it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Si felt somewhat relieved, "That’s good!" but couldn’t help but complain again, "You really should have told me earlier!"

If he had told her earlier, then...

Leng Mochen knew that her complaint wasn’t as intense as before, so he quickly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, okay? It won’t happen again!"

Li Si rolled her eyes at him; who couldn’t see how perfunctory his attitude was in admitting his mistake?

But now, she didn’t want to argue with him too much about these things.

"So, have you found out who is behind this? Do you have any suspects? This is really malicious!"

Leng Mochen’s face darkened, "There is more than one person who could be suspected, but we can’t determine exactly who it is at the moment!"

"Who all could it be? Why do they have to cause trouble at Xiao Ning’s wedding? If someone dies, it would be extremely inauspicious..."

Leng Mochen pondered for a moment, "At first, I suspected Ye Duowei, but then I felt it wasn’t her!"

"Ye Duowei? Why would you suspect her? She doesn’t have any grudges with Xiao Ning, does she? If she’s seeking revenge, it should be against me!"

Li Si didn’t quite understand why Leng Mochen would think this way.

"Tian Yaru passed away early this morning!"

"What?! How could that be so fast? Didn’t they say that even in the late stages of cancer, one can live a few more years? Didn’t she recover several times after receiving critical medical notices?" Even though Li Si was extremely disgusted with Tian Yaru, she never expected her to die so soon.

"That depends on whether God wanted her gone," Leng Mochen placed a hand on her back and continued softly, "So I wondered what today is? Leng Ning’s wedding, a joyous day for the Leng Family, and the Tian Family might stir up something, that’s why I had such a suspicion!"

After all, people like Ye Duowei are quite irrational, and she could even blame Li Si for Leng Mo and Yin Xian dating.

Let alone the sudden death of Tian Yaru?

If they managed to disrupt Leng Ning’s wedding, it goes without saying the Leng Family would be in chaos, and Li Si wouldn’t have a good time either.

Without him elaborating too much, Li Si understood what he meant.

She sighed slightly, "Sigh! No doubt they might blame her death on me, perhaps believing that if I had let things slide, Tian Yaru’s condition wouldn’t have worsened and she wouldn’t have died!"

"Very possible!"

Thinking of the expressions of Mrs. Tian Sr. and Ye Duowei, Li Si couldn’t help but sneer, "Everybody dies! When it’s destiny’s time, that day will surely come! The same goes for you and me!

Besides, I didn’t cause her to get late-stage cancer! Am I supposed to endure and overlook the fact that she threw acid at me?"

Sometimes, Li Si didn’t want herself to become so cold-blooded and unfeeling, but what did she get for being righteous and compassionate?

Were those endless insults and defamations from Tian Yaru worth it?

Maybe in others’ eyes, she was previously a simpleton, a selfless person, and now maybe they’d say she’s heartless, but so what?

Her life, the path under her feet, she still had to walk it herself, regardless of what others say?

She only cared about what this man in front of her had to say!

"No way!" Leng Mochen responded firmly and powerfully.

Things like this aren’t like other things; if they compromise and endure a bit, what about next time?

Wouldn’t it be even more relentless revenge? After all, since throwing acid didn’t work, and the perpetrator didn’t receive punishment, there could be a thousand and one other revenge tactics all directed at them?

Li Si asked again, "Husband! Do you think I did wrong before?"

Leng Mochen tenderly patted her head, "You haven’t done anything wrong! Alright, I told you so that you’d have a sense of what’s going on. After the wedding banquet is over, we’ll have to sit down and discuss who was behind all this!

I knew about Tian Yaru’s death earlier, so even if they get the news later, they will know too, and maybe Mrs. Leng would see this as a reason to make things difficult for you, but don’t worry, I’m here!"

Li Si certainly knew that as long as he was there, she wouldn’t suffer a loss in front of the Leng Family; she nodded vigorously, "Yes! I know that!"

Recalling the past, time and again, she had never actively harmed anyone but was always plotted against and suppressed by others.

With someone’s death, the dead hold the highest status, and she shouldn’t say too many harsh words.

But thinking of those things, complications still arose in her heart, making her frown, "Sigh! But, I still feel somewhat uneasy about this, what should I do? Why am I unjustly suffering like this? Right, why did you later think it might not have been Ye Duowei?"

Leng Mochen pulled her to sit on a sofa with Buding in his single-arm embrace before speaking, "I thought about it carefully later and realized I was a bit off. Would Ye Duowei, suddenly facing her mother’s death, really have so much energy to do these things? Can she be that calm?

"She cannot be!" Li Si shook her head resolutely, "Her personality doesn’t seem capable of these things!"

One could imagine that facing Tian Yaru’s death, Ye Duowei must have been extremely grief-stricken and unable to control her emotions.

Seeing her deep in thought, Leng Mochen continued, "Moreover, that car couldn’t have been arranged last minute! We had made thorough arrangements for the hotel and its surroundings beforehand, you know that! So, she can now be ruled out as a suspect!"

"But if it’s not her, then who else could it be? Han Mingzhe? Lu Qilin? By the way, did you really do that thing you mentioned before?"

The thing she was referring to was what he had mentioned previously – that he would find a chance to discreetly reveal some information to Lu Qilin to let him know who the real person responsible for his eldest son’s death was!

The two had been together for so long, they had developed a deep understanding with each other. So, with Li Si mentioning it slightly vaguely, he knew what she was referring to.

Leng Mochen nodded faintly, "I did! Lu Qilin and Jin Jiachao have personal ties, so Lu Qilin was also here today; he seems to have aged a lot, maybe because of the blow from that incident.

So, for the time being, he can be ruled out as a suspect. As for Han Mingzhe, he has been quite busy lately, so even if he wanted revenge, it wouldn’t be now!"
