Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 681 - 598: Don’t Recognize

The yelling was too sudden and then abruptly stopped.

Afterward, faint voices came through, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall with dozens of tables. Instinctively, they all turned to look toward the door.

Li Si craned her neck to look at the entrance, vaguely hearing the hoarse and desperate yelling of a middle-aged woman.

"What’s going on?"

What could have happened? Is someone here to cause trouble?

Creating a scene at someone’s wedding—how spiteful can you be!

Holding a wedding ceremony, who doesn’t hope for everything to go smoothly and blissfully?

Long Wu and the others exchanged glances, unsure of the situation, wondering whether it was directed at the Bai Family or if there was another reason.

"Could it be that someone’s here to crash the wedding?" Long Wu’s wild imagination ran rampant, suddenly recalling Bai Shasha’s ex-boyfriend.

Li Si’s expression changed, but she noted that the voice was clearly that of a woman!

Leng Mochen grabbed her hand. "Don’t panic yet!"

He didn’t think it was that!

Long Wu stood up to take a look at what was happening but was vehemently yanked back down by Su Meng, who was furious: "Do you have to butt in everywhere? Stay seated!"

They hadn’t handled anything yet, so what was the point of him rushing forward?

Long Wu could only swallow his frustration as he sat down, his eyes darting back and forth.

In his mind, he was already plotting what he could do next!

Mrs. Bai quickly stepped off the stage the moment the commotion began. Bai Shasha and Xu Er, who were onstage, wanted to follow but were firmly stopped by Mrs. Bai.

"You don’t move! Continue the wedding! This cannot delay the ceremony! I’ll go check what’s happening."

Unclear situations shouldn’t affect the wedding’s progress.

She had mentioned it earlier; her right eyelid had been twitching all day—it must have been a warning for this!

On such a joyous occasion, no one can be expected to react kindly to this kind of disruption.

Mrs. Bai strode quickly toward the entrance, her face stern, followed closely by Mr. Bai. Friends and close relatives also hurriedly got up to follow.

As these people passed by their table, Leng Mochen’s gaze flickered when he saw the man with graying temples walking beside Mr. Bai.

Someday, would he too grow this old?

Due to enduring the loss of a son and various other blows?

The man noticed Leng Mochen’s stare and instinctively glanced over.

Upon seeing Leng Mochen, his solemn face froze for a moment, his eyes subtly gleaming with astonishment.

At this moment, an odd and abrupt thought occurred to him—how similar the temperament and gaze of the person before him were to someone he deeply mourned!

What an absurd notion to have!

The man involuntarily paused and gave Leng Mochen a polite nod.

But Leng Mochen turned his gaze away indifferently, as if the glance had been purely unintended, ignoring the man’s gesture.

Li Si stared curiously at the tall, imposing middle-aged man, silently speculating about his identity.

Mr. Bai was in a hurry to advance, but upon finding the man hadn’t followed, he turned back and called out, "Brother Six?!"

The man took one last deep look at Leng Mochen and the nearby Li Si before quickly catching up.

Long Wu was confused. "Who’s this guy? Leng Er, do you know him?"

There was an inexplicably strange vibe between the two men, difficult to describe.

Leng Mochen responded impassively, "I don’t know him!"

Underneath the table, however, his grip on Li Si’s hand reflexively tightened.

Long Wu glanced toward the entrance. "Tch! If you don’t know him, why are you nodding at him, pretending to be acquainted? But judging by his demeanor, he seems like someone influential!"

Li Si had already sensed something was off and, watching the man’s familiar face along with Leng Mochen’s sudden emotional shift, she silently formed a bold conclusion in her heart. Leaning close to the silently brooding Leng Mochen, she softly whispered into his ear: "Old Lu?!"

His father from his previous life?

Leng Mochen took advantage of the unnoticed moment to slightly nod his head, tacitly acknowledging her guess.

From the moment he stepped into the venue, he had wondered whether he would encounter him!

But he hadn’t anticipated meeting in such a scenario!

That kind of feeling could only be understood by those who went through it.

Li Si suppressed her urge to exclaim in surprise, instead holding his hand tightly, quietly sorting out the bewildering emotions surging within her.

Meanwhile, the emcee on stage worked to liven the mood again, proceeding with the wedding to divert everyone’s attention.

"Now, let’s invite the handsome groom and beautiful bride to exchange wedding rings!"

Pleasant music began playing, and a single spotlight illuminated Bai Shasha and Xu Er on stage.

Bai Shasha couldn’t focus on the romantic moment, anxiously glancing toward the entrance, speculating inwardly who might cause a disruption at such a time. Could it be Cao Yufan’s mother?

Xu Er, full of tenderness, picked up the exquisite diamond ring and grabbed her hand, reassuring her, "Don’t worry! Should we go check it out?"

Bai Shasha forced a composed smile. "No need! Hurry up and put it on me!"

Everyone’s watching!

Her thoughts flashed back to Meng Xi clutching her stomach the day before.

Could she have gotten herself into trouble?

All because of that bastard Cao Yufan! Why did he have to meddle and say those things to her? To her, he was dirt at this point!

Her heart abhorred him to the extreme.

Once rings were exchanged, they moved on to the champagne pouring segment. Most guests focused on the stage, clapping in coordination.

Yet, some people kept glancing at the entrance. Li Si, having suppressed the shock of seeing Old Lu, now worried over whatever might be happening.

Could it disrupt the wedding?

She deliberated whether she should head over to take a look.

Onstage, Bai Shasha’s unnatural, slightly stiff demeanor did not escape her notice.

But she hesitated, not wanting to accidentally intrude on a family matter. After all, she was merely an outsider.

However, her thoughts drifted to Cao Yufan and Meng Xi. Could it be something involving the two of them?

Yesterday, Meng Xi appeared to be pregnant and just happened to overhear the things Cao Yufan said.

If her emotions were too volatile, pregnancy in its early stages could indeed be precarious!

The more she thought about it, the worse it seemed. Her brows furrowed. Still, if Cao Yufan’s mother were causing trouble, it didn’t quite add up either.

If she truly wanted to stir things up and make things difficult for the Bai Family, why limit her outburst to just the entryway?

Li Si grew increasingly restless and turned to Su Meng and the others: "Should we go take a look?"

Leng Mochen certainly couldn’t go, and Long Wu is too impulsive.

Leng Ning spoke softly, "I’m just worried we might be more of a hindrance than a help, like we’re simply nosy spectators."

"Xiao Ning makes sense!" Su Meng agreed.

Li Si gave a helpless smile. "True; let’s wait and see!"

As she continued pondering, she noticed Leng Mochen, who had remained unresponsive for a while.

His gaze carried a complexity but quickly returned to calm. He finally spoke lightly: "If you want to check, go ahead."

"Ah? Okay!" Li Si froze briefly before standing up, her thoughts racing.

She squeezed his hand, silently asking whether he was truly alright with her seeing Old Lu. Would he be okay?

Leng Mochen nodded slowly.

Long Wu stared at Leng Mochen in bewilderment. He keenly sensed something unusual about him.

He usually wasn’t the type to seek out such drama. What was different tonight?

And about that man from earlier—he claimed not to know him, but Long Wu didn’t believe it!

There was clearly a subtle, enigmatic connection in play.

Eventually, Long Wu stood and followed, Su Meng and Leng Ning sharing a look and deciding to go as well.

While still inside the banquet hall, the commotion hadn’t seemed overwhelming, but as they neared the entrance, the argument grew louder!

From a distance, they could discern Mrs. Bai’s voice alongside an unfamiliar woman’s—judging by the accent, she was from North City.
