Chapter 571 - 488: How Is That Possible
"Hello!" Jin Yichen stood there politely and greeted everyone, instantly outshining Lei Ming, whose face was pale and gray.
After Li Si’s wedding banquet, Leng Ning had told him the details about her ex-boyfriend. Regarding this, he felt deeply "grateful" to Mrs. Lei.
If it weren’t for her appearance, Leng Ning might still be with Lei Ming. Then, how would he have ever had the chance to meet such a wonderful girl like Leng Ning?
"Hmm!" Mrs. Lei’s face was awkward. She had to admit she had at least some sense.
This man was undeniably tall, handsome, and wealthy, though she didn’t want to acknowledge it.
Jin Yichen looked at Lei Ming with a faint smile. "Hello! Wishing you newlywed happiness!"
"Thank you!" Lei Ming glanced at Leng Ning, who was whispering with Li Si, clenched his teeth, and softly said, "Also wishing you happiness!"
But his heart ached terribly. Yet everything was already set in stone; he couldn’t change it.
His wedding with Wang Mei was just next week. The marriage certificate had already been obtained yesterday, under his mother’s relentless urging.
Now that he and Wang Mei were legally married, what right did he have to pursue Leng Ning again?
Mr. Leng tugged at Mrs. Leng. "Let’s go! There’s no need to say another word to people like him."
The group left together, as Wang Meishu over there also sensed that something was amiss. She quickly ended her conversation with Wang Mei. "We have to go now; let’s chat some other day!"
"Alright! Aunt, don’t forget to come to my wedding when you have time! The venue will be at this hotel!" Wang Mei’s voice got quieter as she went on.
Wang Meishu waved her hand dismissively. "Okay! Okay!"
As they left the hotel, Li Si turned to look back at Lei Ming, who was standing alone, while Mrs. Lei was ingratiatingly chatting with Wang Mei.
This whole ordeal felt like just a small episode; Leng Ning didn’t feel much about it at all.
With the date finalized, Mrs. Leng began to busy herself again. Having gained ample experience during Leng Mochen’s engagement, she now had everything well under control.
Since Jin Yichen didn’t have a mother, many matters were awkward for Jin Jiachao, a grown man, to handle.
Therefore, Mrs. Leng took charge of everything herself.
The plans for her daughter’s engagement dispelled all the gloom brought on by Nie Xiuwei.
Now, waiting for the results no longer felt so agonizing.
When the day of the results arrived, the Leng Family all showed up, with Nie Xiuwei smugly standing off to the side.
"Dad! You’re here!" He had dressed exceptionally well today and had arrived early.
Leng Qiankai roared angrily, "Who’s your dad? Stop calling people randomly!"
He nearly exploded from rage over how naturally Nie Xiuwei uttered that phrase, despite its baselessness.
All he could do now was wait for the results to come out and see how Nie Xiuwei would maintain his arrogance then.
Between having done something or not, he himself knew best. He had never been involved with Wei Zi. How could there be a child?
No one could have imagined how shameless this man was.
Nie Xiuwei curled his lips, unconcerned. "What’s the rush? It’s just a little while longer."
Seeing everyone glaring at him coldly, their eyes filled with anger.
Nie Xiuwei turned to Leng Ning and smirked smugly. "Leng Ning, dear sister! From now on, you’ll have to call me brother. I’m your second brother now!"
Mrs. Leng, red-eyed with anger, ultimately couldn’t hold back. In a swift motion, she slapped him across the face. "Shut up!"
Even if the results said he was Leng Qiankai’s son, he would never step foot into the Leng Family.
Nor would they allow their daughter to call him brother! He wasn’t worthy!
Nie Xiuwei didn’t dodge the slap intentionally, enduring it directly.
Clutching his face, he maliciously stared at her. "I’ll take this slap. After all, I’m not your biological son. But from now on, you need to remember, no matter what, I am still a Leng Family child!"
"Shameless!" Mrs. Leng was trembling with rage, and even Leng Ning couldn’t hold back her anger.
This man before her was utterly despicable yet dared to speak such shameless words!
"My mother could never give birth to a beast like you! I only have one brother! No random cats or dogs can impersonate him!
You, a bastard child, dare to so effortlessly claim to be part of my family? Dream on!"
Leng Ning glared at him furiously, chastising him. Even if he truly was related, she wouldn’t acknowledge it! Besides, she believed her father wasn’t lying—he was framed!
Nie Xiuwei’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He hated being called a bastard or an animal the most. He had heard it countless times growing up abroad.
Those who had insulted him like that faced relentless revenge, one even to the point of...
He glared furiously at Leng Ning, thinking he’d have to seriously deal with this sharp-tongued girl someday.
Then he composed himself and turned his gaze to Leng Mochen and Li Si. He had to admit that in the Leng Family, the person he feared most was Leng Mochen.
"Big brother! Sister-in-law!"
Leng Mochen stared at him deeply, while Li Si pursed her lips. "Hubby! Did you hear a stray dog barking? It’s so noisy!"
Leng Mochen patted her shoulder, a smile tugging at his lips. "I did!"
Leng Ning clapped her hands in delight. Her sister-in-law was too awesome!
Even Mr. and Mrs. Leng’s expressions softened considerably.
"You! Hmph!" Nie Xiuwei hadn’t expected the gentle-looking Li Si to say something so cutting.
Alone and outnumbered, he chose not to argue with them further. But once the results were out, he would see how high-and-mighty they could act then!
But the instant he retrieved the result, Nie Xiuwei froze!
How could this be possible?
What about his mother’s diary?
Leng Qiankai, on the other hand, let out a long breath of relief, feeling as if an immense burden had finally been lifted!
At last, his innocence was proven!
Nie Xiuwei held the document, his face full of disbelief, muttering repeatedly, "Impossible! Impossible!"
How could he not be Leng Qiankai’s son?
Leng Qiankai sternly warned him, "Xiao Nie, the result speaks for itself! There’s no connection between us. I won’t hold it against you for being misled, but I suggest you take care of yourself moving forward."
If he still didn’t realize Nie Weiwei had deliberately approached him, then he had truly wasted all these years.
However, blowing up the situation wasn’t his intention. Barefooted men don’t fear those with shoes, and he didn’t want any unfavorable rumors to escalate.
Nie Xiuwei, in a frenzy, blocked his path, his face contorted. "You’re not allowed to leave! I want a retest! This result has to be fake! Fake! You bribed them, didn’t you?
Alright, you fabricated a bogus paternity report to deceive me!"
Leng Mochen snorted coldly. "Self-delusion!"
Nie Xiuwei glared furiously at Leng Mochen. "It must’ve been you! You’re afraid I’m truly a child of the Leng Family and would fight you for the inheritance, so you tampered with the report!"
How could this possibly not be true!
He frantically tried to retrieve the diary that proved his lineage.
Leng Mochen and the others paid him no mind, leaving without a second glance!
Nie Xiuwei chased after them for a few steps, shouting furiously at their retreating figures. "Just you wait! I’ll prove it to you someday!"
His breathing grew ragged, his eyes glinting with madness.
He wouldn’t just accept this! It had to be fake! Fake!
He had to find proof that he was Leng Qiankai’s son! He would make them regret it!
As they left, Leng Qiankai felt immense relief, excitedly holding Mrs. Leng’s hand as they walked.
"Xiao Yan! Do you finally believe me now?"
The heavy weight on Mrs. Leng’s heart also eased, and she laughed. "I believe you!"
Leng Ning followed behind, noticeably relaxed as she smiled and turned to look at Li Si.
"Sister-in-law! You were amazing earlier! You made that man speechless!"
Leng Mochen tenderly pinched her fingers as Li Si teased her with a bright smile. "You’re even more amazing!"
"Haha! We’re both amazing!"
After parting ways with the Leng Family, Leng Mochen headed to the company, while Li Si asked Jiang Tong to drive her to Su Meng’s house.
Since she’d decided not to go to Bali for the time being, she figured she’d take the opportunity to visit Su Meng more.
Perhaps cheering her up would make her feel better. (To be continued. If you like this story, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
