Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 688 - 605: He Can Be Afraid Too
Leng Mochen’s eyes flashed: "Hmm. Mr. Yan Sr. had a heart attack and is hospitalized! The old man might have been triggered by this event! He’s afraid that if one day..."
Recalling the scene in the study just now, even Leng Qiankai felt the timing wasn’t right and persuaded him to wait, to not rush.
But the old man insisted on his decision and had already prepared all the related documents.
Leng Mochen knew what he was afraid of?
Although Leng Mohao has been sentenced to several years, Zeng Qiuping would never give up competing for control over Leng Group.
Because in her heart, she has always believed that everything belonging to Leng Group was theirs!
If she didn’t have designs, she wouldn’t have disregarded the old man’s health and gone against the agreed narrative to complain to the old man.
Her intention is easy to guess! It’s nothing more than wanting to disrupt the current dynamics of the Leng Family and make the old man dislike Li Si.
In doing so, the conflict would reveal itself, allowing her to exploit an opening!
Which is why the old man wanted to clarify everything while he was still lucid, to avoid leaving any potential troubles for the future.
Yet once Leng Group officially transfers to his hands, it would undoubtedly shatter the current temporary balance, stirring up overt and covert battles among the factions.
Right now was the time he least wanted to deal with such matters, yet it happened anyway!
"Was it caused by Yan Xuefeng?"
Leng Mochen nodded, reaching out to smooth her wind-blown hair.
"Yes. Apparently, Grandpa called Mr. Yan Sr., and no one knows what they talked about. But the next day Yan Xuefeng was severely reprimanded, and he had a heart attack right in that moment, landing him in the hospital! Meanwhile, Tian Yaruo had already left the Yan Family with Yan Kesong before that happened!"
Li Si gently patted Buding’s back, her eyes showing a complex expression: "To this day, I still can’t understand why someone as smart as Yan Xuefeng would cause such trouble on the day Leng Ning was getting engaged! It feels somewhat illogical!"
She hadn’t planned on interacting with them anymore, and if they were to cut ties completely, that would have been fine.
But it seemed like some people didn’t think that way; so why should she continue suppressing herself? If it’s time to explode, then explode!
She hadn’t expected the chain reaction that followed to lead to the current situation.
Leng Mochen sneered: "He was too clever for his own good! Besides, someone must have said something to him!"
Speaking of which, Yan Xuefeng truly loved Tian Yaruo! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost his composure because of his concern for her!
Some situations are only truly understood by those involved.
Deliberate exaggerations and embellishments can easily make everything seem like Li Si’s fault.
The move behind all this was played rather skillfully! It left people completely defenseless!
"Who was it? Tian Yaru? Ye Duowei?" She’d heard that these two had recently returned to Beijing.
She learned of Ye Duowei’s return from Liu Jiaqi, and as for Tian Yaru, Leng Mochen had told her directly.
Leng Mochen looked off into the distance, letting out a chilling laugh: "It doesn’t matter who it was!"
Not one of them will end well!
Li Si opened her mouth as if to speak but, glancing around, realized this wasn’t the place for such a conversation.
The two fell into brief silence...
Mrs. Leng emerged from the storage room, spotting Leng Qiankai sitting alone enjoying tea. She glanced around curiously: "Where’s Mochen? Why are you here on your own? Is the old man asleep?"
Weren’t they supposed to have gone to the study to talk?
Leng Qiankai paused as he poured tea, furrowing his brow slightly: "Dad said he was tired and is resting in his room. Mochen and Li Si are in the courtyard!"
Mrs. Leng sat across from him, staring curiously at his expression: "What did Dad say to you all? You don’t look right!"
"The old man wants to officially hand Leng Group over to Mochen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Leng clapped her hands in joy: "That’s good news! Now our Mochen has legitimate control—let’s see who dares to question it!"
What satisfaction! She couldn’t wait to confront Zeng Qiuping and tell her the news!
She also eagerly anticipated what kind of expression Zeng Qiuping would show. Hasn’t she always claimed dominance over the family, insisting Leng Group belonged to her?
Let’s see what she has to say now! This is the old man’s decision!
Leng Qiankai noticed the gleam of happiness on her face and let out a faint sigh. "Sigh..."
He wasn’t sure why, but he suddenly realized the old man had really aged.
Mrs. Leng raised her eyebrows: "What are you sighing for? Does this decision by the old man make you unhappy? Or are you still concerned about Leng Qianhan’s side of the family?"
If he truly thought that way, she would have to intervene.
Considering all that Leng Mohao had done, even one of his actions was incredibly malicious.
Now he’s getting what he deserves, so does Leng Group still have room for him?
What surprised her was that Leng Qiankai voiced something entirely different, "Xiao Yan! My sigh isn’t about those things. I, I just feel uneasy. Just now, during that moment, I truly realized that the old man has really aged and even feels afraid."
Afraid of leaving suddenly, afraid of possibly becoming confused in the next moment. Someone who had always seemed omnipotent in his mind had suddenly turned into this. He felt incredibly sad.
Mrs. Leng’s heart also sank. To be honest, over the past year, she had noticed that the old man was gradually deteriorating.
Perhaps it’s related to the troubles their family has endured—one issue after another, never giving the old man peace.
"Qiankai, Dad hasn’t had it easy! Look at the years behind us; they were nothing like now, with so many problems! Back when Leng Mohao’s scandals surfaced, I realized the old man was under immense strain. Didn’t you notice how he stopped associating with many of his old friends?
Someone who lived his whole life with pride, never ridiculed, suddenly at age eighty faced shame because of his descendants. To someone who values face and reputation, can he truly get through that inner hurdle..."
After returning home from the old family residence, Li Si put Buding to sleep before heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
When she came out, she didn’t see Leng Mochen in the room. Smiling, she figured he must have headed straight to the study to work as soon as they returned.
As she approached the study door, she heard faint voices coming from within...
Li Si quietly pushed the door open. Leng Mochen spotted her with an affectionate smile in his eyes; his left hand held the phone while his right hand motioned her to come closer. Li Si walked over slowly, step by step.
She heard him speaking faintly into the phone, occasionally responding briefly.
She thought to herself that even though it was the national holiday, there were probably still matters that required his attention.
So she tactfully walked to the towering, wide redwood bookshelf along the wall, intending to pick out a book to read.
The study’s shelves were filled with books of all kinds—not just domestic and international classics, but also economic treatises, and even plenty of romance novels that had been added because of her.
She was still hesitating, unable to decide which book to choose, when Leng Mochen hung up the phone.
He strolled over to her, standing behind her petite figure dressed only in a loose bathrobe as she earnestly searched for a book. His gaze was filled with adoration, and he hugged her tightly from behind.
Breathing in the fresh scent of her post-shower fragrance, he leaned closer to her delicate ear and whispered: "Have you found one you like?"
Li Si chuckled as she playfully patted the hands clasped firmly around her: "Not yet! Why don’t you pick one for me?"
"No need to rush. First, tell me—what did you say to Bai Shasha about me?"
The room was wrapped in a peaceful silence, with only the two of them standing closely together. Li Si raised her eyes, a flicker of emotion sparkling within them, as she bit her lip: "Do you really want to know?"
