Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 735 - 652: Inappropriate
Tian Yaru didn’t expect Yin Xian to act like that. Seeing her daughter standing dumbly to the side, she angrily shouted at her, "Why didn’t you chase after him? Are you stupid?"
The person is already here, and you’re not trying to hold onto him?
Ye Duowei stared blankly at the closed door of the hospital room and bitterly smiled as she continued peeling the apple.
"Say something, won’t you?" Tian Yaru screamed hoarsely. How had her daughter turned out like this?
Ye Duowei initially felt a pang of guilt, but knowing her mother would never give up without a reason, she softly replied, "Chase after him for what, Mom? It won’t make any difference!"
When a man has completely discarded you, no matter what you do, he’ll turn a blind eye.
If she hadn’t exploited Yin Xian’s moment of weakness earlier, he wouldn’t even have shown up.
But these words, she couldn’t say to her gravely ill mother. She instead made excuses, saying that Yin Xian was busy with his career and wasn’t considering personal matters, using them to deflect the issue.
However, when Tian Yaruo, looking haggard with her greying hair, came, Ye Duowei couldn’t hold back. She found an excuse and dragged her aunt into the stairwell, where she broke down in tears.
"Weiwei, what’s wrong with you?" Tian Yaruo asked in surprise.
Her heart sank. Could it be that Tian Yaru’s illness had worsened?
Ye Duowei wiped her tears. "Aunt, I don’t even dare tell my mom, afraid she won’t be able to handle it.
Yin Xian came over earlier. He... He has a girlfriend. When I went to buy food, I ran into them. Guess who it is?"
Tian Yaruo frowned deeply. "Who?"
Why did she have a sinking feeling in her heart?
Ye Duowei gritted her teeth in anger, "Even if I racked my brain for days, I wouldn’t have guessed it would be..."
She exaggerated, blaming everything on Li Si as though Yin Xian’s girlfriend being Li Si’s sister-in-law was entirely her doing.
It seemed like all of it was orchestrated by Li Si.
Tian Yaruo felt deeply saddened. She hadn’t expected that even now, Weiwei was like this—still blaming every little thing on Li Si.
But outwardly, she showed no emotion. She had already lost the affection she once had for her niece, and what followed disappointment was cold-heartedness.
If not for pitying her sister Tian Yaru’s illness, she might have slapped Ye Duowei hard long ago.
Whatever was coming from Duowei’s mouth likely wasn’t the truth anyway.
Even if Li Si wanted revenge, she wouldn’t have manipulated Yin Xian into becoming her brother-in-law.
But Tian Yaruo deeply regretted it—why had she realized the truth so late? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
If, since the start of her encounter with Li Si, she had consistently trusted and supported her instead of being deceived by Ye Duowei’s petty lies, would their relationship have avoided deteriorating into strangers?
Sadly, there’s no remedy for regret in this world.
What the two didn’t know was that outside the stairwell, Tian Yaru had overheard Duowei’s words and nearly collapsed.
She never imagined that not only did Yin Xian have a girlfriend, but it was Li Si’s sister-in-law.
To her, it was an earth-shattering blow.
Her world lost even its last glimmer of hope. She had thought Yin Xian was just too busy with work to think about relationships.
Young people sometimes change their minds and reconcile unexpectedly.
But Duowei’s tears pierced her heart and shattered her fantasy.
Though Tian Yaruo didn’t believe Ye Duowei’s claims, Tian Yaru did. She dragged her limp legs and braced herself against the cold corridor wall as she returned to the ward.
In that short distance, she walked, grinning ruthlessly...
...
Leng Mo felt utterly drained, both physically and mentally, after several surgeries.
She rubbed her tense head as the scene from earlier that noon replayed in her mind.
During surgery, she had managed to suppress those thoughts, focusing completely on her task.
But, the moment she relaxed, her mind naturally drifted to the words of Yin Xian’s ex-wife.
The truth was, she didn’t care for Yin Xian to the extent of wanting to marry him at all costs. It was merely coincidence that he appeared when her mother was driving her to the brink of collapse.
Moreover, her matchmaking encounter with Yin Xian was extraordinarily ironic—she hadn’t known who Yin Xian truly was back then.
Even less did she know his ex-wife was Ye Duowei with ties to her own sister-in-law’s complicated affairs.
On top of that, she later learned of the entanglement between Yin Xuan, Leng Ning, and Jin Yichen, Leng Ning’s fiancé.
Now, how could she not realize her mother had orchestrated everything?
It was all to cause trouble for her second uncle’s family.
If she and Yin Xian were together, no one in her second uncle’s family would feel at ease.
It truly was a two-for-one ploy—an arrow that hit two marks.
If she had known earlier that it involved so many twists and turns, she would never have stepped into this mess.
From Yin Xian’s expression, she deduced that his feelings for Li Si were indeed genuine.
Thinking about this only frustrated her further. How should she face him going forward?
She also had some guesses about Leng Ning’s purpose for visiting today.
As Yin Xian’s sister, Yin Xuan’s involvement sure made it harder for Leng Ning to want any dealings with them.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated on the table, interrupting her train of thought.
Leng Mo picked it up and saw that it was her mother’s number. She put it back down.
No doubt it would be the same old talk about having Yin Xian come to their house.
Thinking of how Yin Xian had pulled Ye Duowei away earlier, and how things had yet to be resolved, how could she invite him over?
She genuinely detested the chaos in these relationships.
All she wanted was to find a normal partner and lead a peaceful, simple life. This was completely contrary to her original intention.
Zeng Qiuping didn’t give up, dialing again and again.
In the end, Leng Mo sighed and answered the call. If she didn’t, her mother might very well burst in.
Even if she didn’t care about others’ opinions, this was the hospital—her workplace.
Wouldn’t making a scene be utterly inappropriate?
"Hello, Mom!" Leng Mo said as soon as she picked up.
No sooner had the words left her mouth, than Zeng Qiuping’s sharp voice shot out like bullets:
"Leng Mo! What are you trying to pull? Huh? Not answering for so long! Are you deliberately ignoring me? Let me tell you, if you keep this up, I’ll go to your office and block you there. Believe it or not!"
Leng Mo sighed helplessly and softly explained, "Mom, I just finished surgery. Can you stop being so suspicious all the time?"
Zeng Qiuping’s tone eased slightly. "Alright! Maybe I was overthinking. Now tell me, when are you bringing Yin Xian home to have dinner? Give me a definite answer!"
"Mom, he... he’s been really busy lately!" Leng Mo had considered saying he was likely caught up with his ex-wife, leaving no time for anything else.
But she knew if she said it, she’d have to waste her breath explaining and defending her point—too tiring. So she opted for this excuse instead.
"Busy? How busy could he be that he doesn’t have time for a meal? Let me tell you, Leng Mo, you know your grandfather and father disapprove of you two, but I, your mother, stand firmly by your side.
You need to toughen up! Think about your brother, who’s still suffering for our family’s sake! Why should all the good things go to your second uncle’s family? It’s not about success but showing some backbone! Stop worrying about Yin Xian’s sister—that’s nothing to worry about! Daughter, are you even listening to me?!"
Zeng Qiuping shouted into the phone when she heard nothing on the other end. "Hello? Hello!"
Leng Mo snapped back to reality, suddenly unwilling to continue the conversation. She responded flatly, "I’m listening, Mom! But I think... maybe we should just forget about it. Yin Xian and I aren’t really suitable for each other. I’m even older than him!"
