Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 869 - 786: Watertight

Leng Shuang’s mother wanted to follow but was afraid her daughter might act impulsively again, which would be too embarrassing. However, if she didn’t follow, she worried that her impulsive child might cause trouble, leading to irreparable consequences.

She hesitated for a while but ultimately couldn’t resist and quietly followed!

But where was Leng Shuang’s figure in the women’s restroom of the banquet hall?

For a moment, Leng Shuang’s mother panicked and rushed around to search.

Finally, near the elevator, she spotted the figure of Leng Shuang wearing a pink outfit today.

She hurriedly approached quietly, but where was anyone else?

Only Leng Shuang was standing there alone, dazed, and on the immaculate marble floor was a round, exquisite rosewood food box; Leng Shuang hesitated for a moment but reached out to pick it up.

Leng Shuang’s mother quickly moved to the side, secretly observing her...

In the glittering elevator, Leng Shuang, dressed in a pink suit, was staring blankly at her shoes. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

In her hand, she held an exquisite rosewood food box, and among the double rows of floor buttons, only the 22nd floor was lit, the destination of her errand.

The elevator dinged open!

The noise jolted her out of her daze, and she hurriedly clenched the food box in her hand and stepped out of the elevator.

Looking at the unusually quiet long corridor, she instinctively swallowed hard.

It wasn’t that she was heartless, but she was indeed forced in a difficult situation; if anyone was to be blamed, it could only be Li Si for provoking someone she shouldn’t have.

Even dragging herself into such a predicament! Thinking this, Leng Shuang suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Yes! It’s all her own fault! Besides, the text message said the contents inside were merely sleeping-inducing drugs and wouldn’t harm her!

Leng Shuang finally found room 2202, looking at the closed door with its shiny doorplate number, she took a deep breath...

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded behind her.

Leng Shuang turned to look, to discover it was her mother, who now abandoned her usual grace and was somewhat disheveled, running towards her!

Leng Shuang’s mother seized the moment of her daughter’s stunned expression to snatch the food box from her hand, and Leng Shuang reacted, hurriedly saying in a low voice, "Mom! Give it back to me!"

"No way!" Leng Shuang’s mother’s lips quivered as she questioned quietly, "Leng Shuang! What are you trying to do? Huh? Are you out of your mind?"

Even if Leng Shuang didn’t say, she could somewhat guess; this certainly wasn’t a good thing!

Perhaps the food box, which was quite heavy, contained something harmful.

Thinking this, her heart raced crazily, just wanting to quickly dispose of this hot potato.

Leng Shuang reached to snatch it back, almost hoarsely whispering, "Mom! Don’t be like this! If I don’t do as they say, do you know what awaits me?"

Leng Shuang’s mother widened her eyes, hiding the food box behind her hand, "What is it? What on earth has happened to you? Huh? I’m your mother, is there anything you can’t tell me? Do you have to do foolish things all by yourself?"

Leng Shuang was at a loss for words, "I..."

She found it really hard to say, how could she explain to her mom that she had been photographed in such compromising ways, if she didn’t comply with their demands, it would lead to her public disgrace, how would she ever face anyone again...

Leng Shuang’s mother glanced at the door of room 2202, decisively grabbing Leng Shuang’s hand, dragging her to the stairwell next to the elevator.

"Leng Shuang! No matter what you’ve done, you’re still my daughter! Tell Mom, what is really going on! You know, even if you listen to those who threaten you and do what they say, they won’t spare you!

And, if you harm someone, will the Leng Family spare you? Between us, no matter what, we share the Leng name, we mustn’t let outsiders use us!"

Leng Shuang finally bowed her head, she couldn’t deny having considered this consequence, but those photos felt like a dagger hovering over her head!

...

Inside the room, Li Si and Liu Xiaole chatted and laughed together, feeling time pass especially quickly. Li Si checked the time, "Has the ceremony for Xiao Ning’s wedding finished?"

"Probably! It’s about that time!" Liu Xiaole replied casually.

"Then I’ll call him to ask!" Li Si took out the phone and dialed Leng Mochen.

"Honey! Can Buding and I head over now? Hmm! Alright! We’ll wait for you to come and we’ll go together!"

Just as Li Si hung up, she noticed Liu Xiaole jumped up as soon as she heard the boss was coming, "Oh! Well, Sisi! Since Mr. Leng is coming, I’ll head back to the venue first!"

Li Si couldn’t help but chuckle seeing her scared little face, "Why are you acting like this? You know my husband, there’s nothing to be scared of! Just stay here, we’ll go together later!"

Liu Xiaole shook her head like a rattle: "No way! You aren’t afraid of him because he’s your man! I’m just a small fry, I’m scared!"

Seeing Liu Xiaole so terrified, Li Si couldn’t say much else, so she escorted her to the door.

"Buding! Say bye to Auntie!"

Buding reluctantly waved goodbye to the Auntie who had played with him for quite some time.

"Big darling! See you later, huh!" Liu Xiaole quickly gave Buding’s little cheeks a couple of kisses before briskly leaving.

Li Si shook her head with a smile, this Xiaole!

When Leng Mochen came in, Li Si asked, "Has the ceremony concluded?"

Leng Mochen decided to be honest with her, "Not yet! After you got off the car, something unexpected happened! So it was delayed a bit in terms of time!"

"Ah?" Li Si exclaimed in surprise, nervously grabbing his arm, "What happened? Nothing bad happened again, right? Xiao Ning and the others are okay, aren’t they?"

Initially, she thought since the engagement party was not smooth, they would ensure the wedding went seamlessly, for which they had made various preparations in advance.

But she was sitting there comfortably thinking everything was going well, only to find out an accident did happen!

Leng Mochen comforted her by hugging her shoulder, "Don’t worry! Xiao Ning and the others are fine, they were just scared a bit, but it’s a false alarm!"

"What’s going on exactly? Tell me!" Li Si, anxious, desperately wanted to know what happened right away.

Buding also sensed his mom’s anxiety, hugging his dad’s leg and looking up, "Daddy..."

Leng Mochen lifted Buding into his arms and said, "Shortly after you and Buding entered the hotel, a car suddenly lost control and headed towards Xiao Ning’s wedding car! Luckily, there were a lot of people and cars around, and it was stopped in time! The driver was taken back by Heizi for questioning, and we should get some leads!"

Li Si was furious upon hearing this, but a slight feeling of resentment towards Leng Mochen also emerged!

"So, you knew this when you came to see me and Buding, yet you didn’t utter a word! You really are something! Perfectly keeping it under wraps! Why tell me now! Might as well keep me in the dark forever..."

Li Si grew increasingly irritated as she spoke, realizing the whole time she had been left out of the loop!
