Chapter 548: Chapter 465: Supporting Justice Over Family (Third Update)
Mr. Leng sighed helplessly, seeing that Leng Mochen and Li Si had no intention of chasing after, he followed Mrs. Leng outside.
Leng Ning felt her head was throbbing!
Is it necessary? Such a small issue, why bring up the past! Doesn’t her mom know how unreasonable she was back then?
Leng Ning had no choice since she was her own mother. She had to help mediate: "Brother, Sister-in-law! Please don’t be angry! You know how mom is! She actually means well."
Li Si took the confused Buding who blinked his big eyes from her arms, "Xiao Ning! Some things we all understand without saying! I thought I handled everything well, but as soon as I recall the things she said and did to Mochen, I still feel resentful.
Call me petty if you want! If this happened to you, how would you feel? This has nothing to do with you, let’s just continue as usual! You’d better go back to check on things!"
Leng Ning realized Li Si was right, so she sighed, "Sigh! I don’t know what else to say! I’ll head out first! I’ll come again another day!"
"Alright! Come play when you have time!"
After Leng Ning left, Leng Mochen hugged her and Buding, "Are you really holding a grudge about what happened in the past?"
If that’s the case, he should blame himself, and perhaps admit the truth of his rebirth to Li Si sooner.
So she wouldn’t have to endure grievances like a steamed bun!
Li Si rolled her eyes at him: "What do you think? You didn’t tell me the truth in the past, if I had known your situation earlier, would she dare say those things in front of me? I would have lost it right there!"
But now it’s fine, at least he finally spoke up later.
Thanks to Mrs. Leng’s push back then, otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken for him to say it, maybe until the year of the monkey!
Leng Mochen hugged her tightly: "I’m sorry!"
He didn’t expect his hiding to hurt her.
Li Si couldn’t help but laugh: "Look at you! Blaming yourself! I’m teasing you! Aren’t we supposed to act according to our roles? As the daughter-in-law, when wronged, of course, I have to tell Leng Ning.
This way, even if she wants to advise, she won’t know where to start! But, in the future, we should really keep some distance from them! Distance creates beauty!"
"That’s what I think too!" Leng Mochen’s eyes darkened.
Buding sucked on his finger and listened to his parents’ conversation, seemingly finding it quite amusing.
Xiao Guai might have realized it caused the unhappy ending, too.
It gingerly stayed on the sofa, scratching its head, and now seeing the owner laughing, happily scurried over: "Awoo..."
Li Si looked at it with both anger and amusement at its pitiful appearance, as if it was seeking sympathy.
"Alright! Just hold on a few more days! When we go out to play, you can be the king of monkeys!"
Xiao Guai excitedly howled and ran wildly around the living room.
Li Si suddenly remembered what Leng Ning said about Mr. Leng’s birthday before, "The day after tomorrow is Mr. Leng’s birthday!"
Leng Mochen stroked his chin, smiling mysteriously: "The day after tomorrow? Really a good day!"
Back at home, Mrs. Leng was still furious. On the way, she kept complaining to Mr. Leng about how bad Li Si was.
Mr. Leng listened in silence.
Regardless of her faults, she is now your daughter-in-law, and your son wants to cherish her dearly. What’s the use of criticizing now?
So when he got home, he immediately retreated to his studio, deciding not to come out until the next morning.
When Leng Ning got home, she couldn’t escape. Mrs. Leng angrily nagged at her, "I see now your brother doesn’t care about us. Look how spoiled that Li Si has gotten! Before, she wouldn’t dare speak to me that way! Now, having a son has made her bold and assertive, dare to talk back to me!"
It really irritated her!
Leng Ning helplessly advised, "Mom, that’s a wrong mindset. If you only advised them not to adopt a monkey, would they get upset with you? Didn’t you bring up that woman’s child? Don’t you remember what you did?"
If her mom claims to have forgotten, she has nothing left to say.
Mrs. Leng confessed with a guilty heart, lowering her head. She had to admit, she really went overboard at the time.
But thinking of her son’s attitude today, she stiffened her neck to retort, "Even if I was wrong back then, I was deceived by that wicked woman! If your brother hadn’t waited so long to get married and have children, would I fall for someone’s lies so easily?"
Leng Ning suppressed the urge to roll her eyes: "Mom, do you mean that everything is my brother’s fault then?"
"What’s wrong with your brother! Isn’t it because Li Si didn’t get pregnant back then? If she was easy to bear children, would we have made such mistakes?"
Mrs. Leng’s words were firm, leaving Leng Ning dumbfounded!
She was immensely relieved Jin Yichen only had a father and wouldn’t face mother-in-law issues in the future.
As a daughter, she had to feel sorry for Li Si!
To say every fault lies with the daughter-in-law, is the son without any error? What’s the solution?
"I don’t see what’s so good about that Li Si, she’s captivated your brother to do everything for her! Now the days are still short, but as time goes on, her desires and appetite will grow.
Soon, the Simeng Beauty Salon might not be enough for her ambitions, Mo Si might eventually become hers! Your brother is just working hard for her!"
Mrs. Leng spoke while removing her jewelry, looking at Leng Ning through the mirror.
Leng Ning speechlessly looked at her mother at that moment, wondering how she turned out this way?
From what she knew, Mo Si was founded by Li Si and her brother jointly from the start when her brother went to North City, the Leng Family didn’t manage anything there.
Why did mom make it sound like Li Si was taking advantage of their family?
"Mom! Hearing this, I have to speak up! It’s said to side with reason, not kin. Ignoring the relationships between you, me, and Li Si, just talking about Mo Si and that Simeng, when my brother founded Mo Si, he invested alongside Li Si! Otherwise, why is it called Mo Si? I heard my brother put in thirty million, and Li Si put in twenty million!"
Mrs. Leng turned back astonished: "What? Li Si put in twenty million? How could a girl without parents have such a large sum of money?"
She found it hard to believe, always thinking Li Si was an orphan with a good fate for meeting Mochen to enjoy a luxurious life.
And then started the Simeng Beauty Salon! So when facing Li Si, she always had a sense of superiority!
Twenty million! That’s no small amount!
Leng Ning shook her head: "I don’t know where she got the money, but I know when they partnered, their romantic relationship wasn’t confirmed yet, they were just pretty good friends."
Mrs. Leng bit her lower lip: "Even if that’s true! What about Simeng? She was already with your brother then, did she invest herself too?"
The question seemed to lack confidence now.
Mo Si performed excellently from the start, if she had invested twenty million back then, according to that share, it could easily spawn several Simengs!
And her daughter’s Simeng Branch was under renovation, they learned a lot of insider details from the main store.
The beauty care projects inside were extremely lucrative!
No wonder her sister-in-law Wang Meishu wanted to get involved too!
Mrs. Leng fell into silence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to recommend it, monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile readers please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
