Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 868 - 785: A Woman’s Heart Is the Most Poisonous
Li Si feels that Nanny Liu is getting anxious now, always thinking that once her daughter is married off, she’ll have peace of mind. She doesn’t even consider that there are plenty of troubles waiting ahead!
Liu Xiaole gave her a thumbs-up directly: "Sisi! You really understand me! I’ve told my mom about this, but she just won’t listen!
Actually, I do understand why she’s like this! Isn’t it just because Liu Jiaqi’s mom keeps showing off in front of her, saying that even though her daughter got divorced, there are still plenty of rich, handsome guys fighting to win her over! It was a big blow to her!"
Ever since Li Si and Leng Ning ran into Yin Xian and Liu Jiaqi being together abroad, Li Si told Liu Xiaole about it as soon as she returned home.
Initially, Liu Xiaole didn’t know that Liu Jiaqi’s new boyfriend was Yin Xian.
It was only after Li Si mentioned it that she realized that what her mom had been talking about — how Liu Jiaqi was lucky, finding another wealthy boyfriend after her divorce — was indeed him!
In Nanny Liu’s own words: It’s true that comparing people leads to resentment, and comparing goods leads to discarding.
Because of this, she’s often been grumbling to Liu Xiaole, who graduated years ago yet had her promising relationship end badly. Although she’s made some small achievements at work now, her love life isn’t going well!
For young women, those good years are only a few. If they’re all dedicated to work, what happens when they become older?
Li Si looked at her strangely: "I remember Liu Jiaqi’s mom used to thank your parents for helping her deal with her husband’s infidelity. Why is she like this now?"
"What does that mean? Times change, people can change at any moment! Especially since Liu Jiaqi’s mom feels proud again. The mistress got into a serious car accident, barely survived, but her legs are disabled..."
Li Si immediately felt there was something fishy about this, exchanging a glance with Liu Xiaole: "Was the accident intentional or not?"
Liu Xiaole smiled mysteriously: "Sisi, after hearing this, do you also think the accident might have been orchestrated by Liu Jiaqi’s mom?"
"Hurry up! What suspense are you trying to build?" Li Si urged her to speak quickly. Clearly, from Liu Xiaole’s expression, there was definitely something going on.
Liu Xiaole pretended to look around before whispering after stroking Buding’s head: "I just happened to hear that Liu Jiaqi’s mom did hire someone to do it!"
Li Si widened her eyes, already guessing it might be true, but still feeling that the saying ’the most poisonous is a woman’s heart’ might not be wrong...
In the banquet hall, Bai Shasha unexpectedly saw Leng Shuang quietly sitting among the guests at the nearby table, along with her mother.
She patted Xu Er’s arm and gestured towards them: "Honey! Did you see? Leng Shuang and her mom are over there!"
Previously hearing from Sisi about Leng Shuang’s return to the country, she wondered if Leng Shuang had changed after all this time; now seeing her, it seemed she had indeed changed quite a lot, appearing at least a bit more honest.
Xu Er, chatting with Long Wu, glanced in Leng Shuang’s direction, knowing that his wife was reminded of the past.
He quickly comforted her: "Honey! You need to focus on pregnancy education! Look at things you like, okay? Like handsome men, pretty women — anything goes! Focus on those things, or aren’t you afraid our child might end up looking like that?"
Bai Shasha chuckled at his joke, glancing at him: "Only you can come up with such analogies! Oh! Xiaole said she was going to find Sisi. She’s been gone for quite a while, why hasn’t she returned yet?"
"Probably chatting with each other! Why don’t you call Sisi and ask?"
Bai Shasha took out her phone: "Okay! I’m afraid Sisi doesn’t know about the thrilling incident that happened outside the hotel just now! Earlier, I didn’t have the chance to tell Xiaole because she rushed off to find someone! I need to tell her to show up quickly!"
Xu Er quickly held her hand: "Shasha! I think, since she doesn’t know, you shouldn’t say anything yet! Let Leng Er share it himself!"
Long Wu chimed in: "Your Xu Er is right! Whether we talk about who did it or not, look at Leng Er’s mother-in-law’s face, it’s better if Sisi shows up later to avoid taking innocent blame!
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, no matter how good it seems usually, when things go wrong, the biological daughter is definitely put first! The daughter-in-law is always wrong!"
After saying this, Long Wu turned to Su Meng with a flattering smile: "Honey! Didn’t I get that right?"
Su Meng gave him an appreciative look, which Long Wu happily accepted, thinking to himself that he got it right again.
Bai Shasha reluctantly put away her phone: "You guys are right! Back when Xiao Ning’s engagement party was disrupted, who would have thought something would happen at this wedding too!
Sisi’s mother-in-law really might blame this all on her again; I’ve witnessed it firsthand..."
Meanwhile, Leng Shuang had long noticed the scrutinizing gaze from Xu Er and Bai Shasha but found herself without the energy to do anything about it now.
Back then, was it not because of Xu Er and Bai Shasha that she impulsively threw the wine bottle?
Not only did she have to apologize, but her grandfather also forcefully sent her abroad for school.
Nicely put as studying abroad, it was actually just punishment banishment.
Yet only a few days after returning home, she encountered such an incident.
Thinking about the text message she received last night made her grit her teeth in hatred...
Leng Shuang’s mom noticed her daughter’s calmness this morning as she obediently followed her to the wedding banquet, worrying internally that her daughter might cause a scene at the wedding.
Thus, her gaze never left Leng Shuang, and seeing her daughter’s ironclad expression, she hurriedly grabbed her hand, looking around and softly advising: "Daughter! Haven’t you forgotten the promise you made to mom this morning?"
Leng Shuang impatiently shook her head: "No! No! I’ve said it several times! Why do you keep asking? It’s so annoying!"
Leng Shuang’s mom tried hard to coax her: "That’s good! My dear! Let’s attend the wedding banquet properly, then leave after the newlyweds toast, okay?
I’ll take you shopping later, you mentioned liking that new bag model, right? I ordered one for you; the store clerk has already called to inform me. We’ll pick it up later! I wanted to surprise you, so I didn’t mention it before!"
In the past, Leng Shuang would have been thrilled, but at this moment, she was numb; with the latest text message, there wasn’t a bit of joy left in her heart.
"Whatever you say! I’m going to the restroom!"
Leng Shuang gritted her teeth and stood up, her mom quickly offering to accompany her: "Perfect, mom needs to go too! I’ll come with you!"
Leng Shuang glared defiantly: "What are you doing? I can’t even go to the restroom without you watching me! Can I have some freedom or not?"
Her exclamation drew the attention of the surrounding guests, making Leng Shuang’s mom feel utterly embarrassed.
"Dear! Please come back soon, okay?"
"Oh! I know!" Leng Shuang impatiently waved her hand, walking away without looking back.
