Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 731 - 648: How Does It Affect You?

When Li Si hadn’t appeared, Mom and Aunt were doing fine.

The two of them not only had happy families, wealth, and leisure, but their lives were truly fulfilling.

The only issue was that Aunt’s Kesong needed a bone marrow transplant.

But ever since Li Si showed up, her family’s business went bankrupt, Dad and Mom were always arguing, and things spiraled out of control. Not long ago, they even got divorced outright.

Aunt and Uncle also began to have many conflicts because of Li Si, and they even quarreled openly at Leng Ning’s engagement banquet. That incident caused Grandpa Yan to fly into a rage and fall ill, ending up in the hospital.

She admitted that she had said some exaggerated things to Uncle about Li Si and Aunt, which led him to act impulsively.

But ultimately, everything was linked to Li Si.

Still, what’s the deal with this scene before her?

"So what if we’re sitting together? How does it affect you?"

Leng Ning glanced coldly at Ye Duowei, who was losing her composure, curious to see what Ye Duowei was up to.

So what if she was her sister-in-law’s younger sister?

Don’t think she didn’t know about the despicable things their family had done. Back then, it was clearly her sister-in-law who donated bone marrow to their Kesong.

But what did her sister-in-law get in return? During her own engagement banquet with Jin Yichen, it was Ye Duowei’s Uncle who caused a scene.

And now what? Feeling uncomfortable because your ex-husband is affiliated with the Leng family?

Well, it’s far too early for that—the moment you find out that your ex-husband’s girlfriend is also from the Leng family, then what?

Yin Xian was utterly infuriated by Ye Duowei. He had long expected that Ye Duowei would cause a stir if she ever discovered his connection to the Leng family.

But truth be told, Li Si had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. He couldn’t let her take the blame.

"Ye Duowei! You’re completely insane! We’re already divorced and have no connection whatsoever! Who I’m with has absolutely nothing to do with you. Instead of meddling, why don’t you focus on taking care of your sick mother?

And stop worrying about other people’s business. Plus, get this straight—I’m with whoever I want, and it has nothing to do with Li Si!"

Ye Duowei clearly didn’t believe him. Her eyes darted back and forth, trying to read something from their expressions.

But unfortunately, she was bound to be disappointed.

Leng Mo still wore her usual indifferent expression. She understood very well why Ye Duowei cared so much if Li Si had anything to do with her and Yin Xian being together.

To be fair, Ye Duowei and her sister-in-law were blood-related, and she was aware of the various incidents that had happened between them before.

Meanwhile, Leng Ning looked as though she was just enjoying the show. She had seen enough of Ye Duowei’s pathological behavior.

She had actually come today to subtly warn Leng Mo about Yin Xian, but now that Ye Duowei was stirring things up herself, it was even better.

This way, it was crystal clear what kind of people surrounded Yin Xian, so Leng Mo could give up on him sooner rather than later.

"Yin Xian, what’s the point of saying all that? Of course I’ll look after my mom! I’m not asking as your ex-wife; I’m just posing a simple question as a friend. What’s the relationship between your girlfriend and Li Si’s sister-in-law?"

Yin Xian suddenly felt like the situation was escaping his control. He hadn’t expected to face today’s confrontation so quickly.

But then again, some things are out of one’s control no matter how one tries.

The usually silent Leng Mo finally spoke in a calm voice: "So what if Li Si is our sister-in-law?!"

...

Meanwhile, Li Si, who was playing with Buding, suddenly sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose with a tissue, mildly puzzled.

Muttering to herself, she said, "What’s going on? Am I catching a cold?"

But that shouldn’t be possible!

Ever since her rebirth and after eating the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit from that space, it seemed like she’d only been sick once.

That time was right after her rebirth when her willpower was far less resilient than it was now. She fell ill after being deceived by Grandma Li into believing she wasn’t Dad’s child, and after getting drenched in the rain, she caught a high fever.

She laughed and shook her head, thinking how utterly foolish she had been back then.

She believed whatever people told her. If, at the time, she had simply requested a DNA test with Li Guofu, wouldn’t some events afterward have unfolded differently?

But back then, she stubbornly fixated on tracing her lineage the hard way, rather than taking the direct route.

To this day, she still remembered how Leng Mochen had advised her to simply do a paternity test with Li Guofu. Why bother chasing other leads? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But she persisted in her stubbornness, insisting on obtaining even clearer proof. Thinking back now, his frustrated yet helpless expression felt simultaneously amusing and endearing.

Was that when he started caring for her, began developing feelings?

But considering Li Guofu was Mr. Han Sr.’s son, even if she had done a paternity test back then, it wouldn’t have confirmed she was Dad’s child; if anything, it would’ve further solidified the claim that she wasn’t.

Buding wasn’t happy that his mom had started reminiscing after sneezing. He kept calling out, "Mama! Mama!"

He needed to assert his presence—otherwise, how could a tiny tot avoid constantly being overlooked?

Li Si snapped out of her daze and saw her son looking at her with a face full of grievance. She quickly scooped up the little one who had stopped crawling.

"Oh my, is our baby feeling wronged? Mommy was just recalling some past events. When you grow up, Mommy will tell them to you one by one!"

Little Buding babbled while waving his tiny finger in discernible innocence, responding with soft sounds.

Li Si didn’t care if he could understand her or not. She carried him off to the game room.

Later, once Buding fell asleep, Li Si checked the time. He should be awake now, she thought, so she dialed his number.

On the other end, the call was quickly answered. In Y Country, it was now 8 a.m., and Leng Mochen’s voice carried a faint hoarseness.

"Girl! Do you miss me?"

"Of course! When are you coming back? Buding misses you too! With the financial crisis going on, are you staying safe over there?"

Li Si was particularly worried about his safety.

Despite knowing he was also someone who had been reborn, there were situations where certain methods proved ineffective against malicious forces.

Leng Mochen’s good mood was evident in the laughter that came clearly through the phone, "I miss you two as well. Once everything’s taken care of, I’ll come back. Don’t worry, I’m perfectly safe!"

After exchanging sweet words for a while, Li Si told him, "Hubby! Oh, by the way, Xiao Ning returned from the Maldives yesterday. She came home today and brought us lots of delicious treats and fun stuff."

"Do you want to go? Once I’m not busy, the three of us can take a trip together!" Leng Mochen’s voice—deep and magnetic as ever—sounded even more captivating over the phone.

Li Si chuckled, "Of course I’d like to go, but let’s wait until you’re less busy! We’ve been talking about Bali all this time, and we haven’t even managed to make it there yet.

Plans often don’t keep up with changes—believe me, I completely understand!"

She wasn’t exactly craving international travel anyway. Back when it was just the two of them, it had been easier to enjoy romantic getaways as a couple.

But now, with Little Buding in tow, any trip that involved a child meant things could never go quite as smoothly.

Especially since Buding was still breastfeeding—when it came to food, being mindful of her diet while surrounded by delicacies just felt frustratingly restrictive.
