Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!

Chapter 549 - 466: High-End and Classy (4 Updates)

Mrs. Leng suddenly realized that the day after tomorrow was Leng Qiankai’s birthday. With things so unpleasant today, she wasn’t sure if Mochen, given his temperament, would attend.

"Your father’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Have you told them about it?"

Leng Ning pursed her lips. "I’ve told them! But whether they’ll come that day, I really don’t know."

Considering she knew her brother well, the likelihood of him not coming was very high.

Who could blame him, when Mother had hurt his beloved sweetheart!

There was nothing she could do to help!

"Fine! Let them come if they want!" Mrs. Leng spoke firmly, though her heart felt complicated. After all, she’d invited old friends, as well as that rather peculiar man she’d met today with the surname Nie; they were surely coming too.

If, by then, her husband was celebrating his birthday while their son and daughter-in-law didn’t show up, wouldn’t that be a disgrace?

Meanwhile, the man Mrs. Leng had thought of, Nie Xiuwei, was currently answering a phone call from North City with a displeased look on his face.

"What? They’re no longer competing for that plot of land?"

All his earlier efforts had been wasted.

What exactly was Leng Mochen playing at? His moves were setting off chain reactions everywhere. Was he not worried about losses?

"What’s the city government’s stance?" he forced himself to ask calmly.

Now was not the time for anger. If he wanted his subordinates to work wholeheartedly for him, he needed to treat them properly.

After listening to the other party’s response, he calmly hung up the phone.

Clearly, Leng Mochen had prepared in advance before returning to North City.

But where exactly had things gone wrong?

He fell into deep thought.

Before long, he picked up the phone again and dialed quickly.

"The plan has changed!"

A woman’s voice on the other end asked, "What happened?"

"Implement Plan B. Plan A is canceled!"

The woman hesitated before asking, "Why? If we go with Plan B and something goes wrong, won’t I be exposed?"

"I’ve already picked a scapegoat. Don’t worry!"

The woman seemed placated. "Alright! Just make sure to keep your promise to me."

"Absolutely, as you wish!" His voice carried a smile, but his face at that moment was sinister and disdainful.

Women who chased after those illusory dreams of love were truly lacking in intellect. Did she not consider her own status? Or his status? Even if he lowered himself to the dust, he still had a legitimate wife and children. Was there really a place for her?

What a ridiculous notion!

But people like her were better; they could be used!

After Li Si fell asleep, Leng Mochen gently kissed her forehead and entered the study.

He reviewed some documents briefly before the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

He frowned slightly as he picked up. "What’s the situation?"

A respectful voice came from the other end. "Report, boss! After monitoring N’s phone calls, we’ve discovered some new developments tonight!"

Leng Mochen straightened up. "Alright! Tell me!"

"Two individuals..."

After hanging up, Leng Mochen subconsciously picked up a pen and wrote on a blank sheet of paper: Man, woman, surrounded by ghosts! Plan B?

These two people were likely employees from the Mo Si branch!

But identifying who they were would require careful investigation. He also needed to prepare in advance!

After thinking for a moment, he checked the time and called Long Wu.

The phone was only picked up after a long delay, and the background on Long Wu’s end was noisy—likely he was at a bar. "Second brother! Don’t tell me you’re like me, sleepless through these endless nights, wanting to chat on the phone? You really are my true love!"

Leng Mochen chuckled and cursed, "Knock it off! Be serious!"

Long Wu must have moved to a quieter space, as his tone quickly turned serious. "Alright, tell me, what do you need me for?"

"Take two recordings and get Heizi to do a voiceprint analysis for me!"

"Holy shit! You’ve even gotten into forensics? Fancy stuff!" Long Wu exclaimed, jokingly. "Who’s on the other side?"

"Shut up! No more nonsense! I’ll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow!"

Long Wu faked a grand tone, "Yes, boss! What’s the reward? If there’s no payoff, you think I’d work for free?"

"You’d work for free even if I asked you to! I’m only interested in women!" With that, he hung up directly.

Poor Long Wu didn’t realize until the call was disconnected that he’d been outsmarted once again by someone with quicker reflexes!

The day finally arrived—it was Leng Qiankai’s birthday. Mrs. Leng was pacing anxiously in the private hotel room she’d booked.

The plan was for three tables: old friends, along with some of Leng Qiankai’s students.

But now, two tables were already full, yet Mochen and his family hadn’t arrived.

As she listened to the murmurs from the seated guests, her mind grew increasingly restless.

Just then, Leng Qiankai entered with four others.

Aside from the three she recognized, walking beside Leng Qiankai on his right was, unmistakably, that Nie-surnamed man.

He was carrying a large, meticulously wrapped frame under his arm. Its contents were unclear.

Now, seeing most people had arrived except for their son and daughter, Leng Qiankai’s face showed a hint of displeasure. But with outsiders present, he refrained from expressing it.

He turned to Mrs. Leng and asked, "Where are Mochen and Xiao Ning?"

Mrs. Leng stammered slightly before explaining, "Xiao Ning and Yichen went to pick up the preordered gift; they’ll be here shortly. Mochen and his family should be on the way. You know how bad traffic is from his place to here!"

Mr. Leng nodded faintly. Sitting beside him, Nie Xiuwei’s lips curled into a smirk.

One of Mrs. Leng’s friends piped up to smooth things over, "It’s fine! If they’re bringing your precious grandson, it naturally takes more time. It does take a while to get kids ready!"

At that moment, a knock sounded at the door. A young girl entered.

Mrs. Leng turned to look and was surprised to see Leng Mo!

How did this child know they were here celebrating the birthday dinner today?

"Hello, Aunt!"

"Ah, Leng Mo, come in, come in!" Mrs. Leng smiled warmly, inviting her in.

Even if she were pretending, she had to put on an act in front of outsiders. Everyone knew after Leng Mohao’s scandal that their families didn’t get along.

Now, Leng Mo showing up willingly proved that, deep down, she still acknowledged them.

"Uncle, happy birthday!" Leng Mo handed him the gift she had picked earlier. "I happened to bump into Leng Ning and her boyfriend, and that’s how I learned it was your birthday today. I quickly found something; I don’t know if you’ll like it!"

Leng Qiankai had always had a favorable impression of Leng Mo and quickly accepted the gift with a warm smile. "Of course I’ll like it! Leng Mo, I’m very happy you came! Please, have a seat!"

Regarding all the trouble between them caused by Leng Mohao, and the current estrangement with his elder brother’s family, his feelings were actually quite complicated.

But once mistakes were made, revisiting lofty ideals didn’t mean anything anymore.

If his son had truly been murdered back then, his lineage would’ve ended entirely.

Leng Mo shook her head quickly. "No need! I still have a surgery back at the unit. I should get going! Uncle, Aunt, goodbye!"

Leng Qiankai understood Leng Mo’s personality well. Just coming today was already a major step.

Forcing her to sit among so many strangers would truly make her uncomfortable.

So after a few polite exchanges, he and Mrs. Leng escorted Leng Mo out of the room together.
