Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 766 - 683: Provocation

Li Si tilted her head and looked at him, "Alright! So, what did Mrs. Leng and Leng Ning just say? They must have said a lot about what happened to me, right?"

Leng Mochen nodded slightly, "They did! But they didn’t say much, and they won’t bring it up in front of you anymore.

Little girl! Once I’m done with this period of work, shall we go out and relax?"

Li Si blinked at him, "Are you feeling sorry for me, or are you trying to make it up to me?"

"Both, is that okay?" He felt deeply that he owed Li Si too much, more than he could ever repay.

Each time there was danger, no matter the reason, he wasn’t by her side.

Especially when he thought of Yin Xian, his heart still felt uneasy...

Li Si smiled and agreed, "Of course!"

...

The police station, interrogation room.

Under the harsh lights, Tian Yaru’s lips were dry and cracked, her face ashen, her hair messily gathered at the back of her head.

At this moment, where was her previous arrogance?

After hours of grueling questioning, Tian Yaru’s body and mind were on the brink of collapse.

The interrogators slammed the table forcefully, their faces stern: "Tian Yaru! Be honest, and you’ll be treated leniently. Resist, and the consequences will be severe! We’ve already gathered some useful evidence through our investigation.

We’re giving you this opportunity to confess because it’s your first offense and considering your health issues. But if you refuse to come clean, you’ll miss this golden chance."

Tian Yaru felt countless rings of light spinning in front of her eyes, chaotic images flashing through her mind.

She once exuded confidence, beauty, and elegance, the dignified wife of the Ye Family’s president, someone who could effortlessly have anything she wanted.

But all of that began to change after meeting Li Si, step by step!

The Ye Family went bankrupt. She and Ye Cheng moved into her family’s home. They divorced.

And now, it was all because of her that she had fallen to this state!

She was full of hatred, full of resentment...

The interrogators, dissatisfied with her silence, slammed a file folder onto the desk with a loud "thud," pulling Tian Yaru out of her memories.

"Speak honestly! Do you have any accomplices?"

Tian Yaru licked her dry lips, "I have nothing to say. There are no accomplices, I did it all alone!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Then where did you get the sulfuric acid you used?"

Tian Yaru froze for a moment, then replied, "I bought it at a chemical supply store!"

"Address!"

...

The Tian Family

Mrs. Tian Sr. had just taken her blood pressure medication and was half-lying on the bed with a blanket over her. She looked again at Tian Yaruo, who sat silently by her side, tending to her.

Thinking about Tian Yaru, who might still be suffering inside, her red, puffy eyes welled up with tears again, and she whimpered, "My dear daughter! I know you feel wronged, but you also know your sister’s situation. If she ends up being sentenced because of this, what will happen to her? Can her body withstand that?

Li Si is your child, and I know your elder sister went too far, but she wasn’t seriously hurt, was she?

Can’t you..."

The words asking her to plead on her sister’s behalf stuck in her throat when she saw the hurt expression on Tian Yaruo’s face and couldn’t bring herself to say them aloud.

A mother’s love goes both ways, but people are inherently selfish. While Li Si was her grandchild, the weight of her thoughts tilted inevitably towards her severely ill elder daughter.

Tian Yaruo felt completely numb. This so-called familial love made her want to shout: Was Tian Yaru a person, but her daughter wasn’t?

It was clearly Tian Yaru who did something so vicious; why was she the one who had to compromise in the end?

Besides, the matter of what type of punishment Tian Yaru ultimately faced was no longer something Li Si could decide.

Still, seeing her mother’s frail and distressed state, she couldn’t bear to lash out with harsh, cutting words.

"Mom! How can you still think like this? She threw sulfuric acid—it’s no longer a private matter that can be resolved quietly.

This is a case that endangers society’s safety. Even if Li Si wasn’t injured, what right does she have to ask someone to drop the charges?

And didn’t you see her at the police station just now? She probably hates me, hates our family to the bone. How can I have the face to plead with her?"

As she spoke, Tian Yaruo felt disheartened, questioning why she had to face such a scene in her life.

In the living room, Mr. Tian sat on the sofa, interrogating Ye Duowei about what had transpired.

When he heard about the ridiculous thing Tian Yaru had done, he angrily scolded, "What was your mother thinking? How could she do something so foolish? Now that things have come to this, how are we supposed to help?"

Ye Duowei, sitting to the side, quickly burst into tears as she pleaded:

"Grandpa! My mom really didn’t mean to do it; she just lost her temper for a moment. If anything, it was because of me that she did such a thing!

Even if she was wrong, how can her current condition endure suffering inside there?

That Li Si, no matter how much grandma and I begged, remained unmoved. She truly has a heart of stone!"

As she spoke, she carefully observed her grandfather’s expression.

Mr. Tian’s face was flushed with anger as he huffed and puffed, "What about your aunt? She didn’t say anything?"

Ye Duowei raised her head with difficulty, "Aunt is in a tough spot too. On one side is her biological daughter, and on the other is my mother. She’s torn between the two!"

"Hmph! Biological daughter? If not for that worthless girl, would your aunt be in this bad situation? What did her husband do to her? Why does she insist on completely severing ties with him?

No, I need to knock some sense into her. How can she not distinguish between what’s important and what’s not?"

This thought infuriated Mr. Tian even further. He had once lived a senior lifestyle that made others envious.

First, the eldest daughter’s company went bankrupt, then came her divorce. Just when he thought his youngest daughter was his pride and joy, she too became a joke among others.

A flicker of unease crossed Ye Duowei’s eyes. Although she was somewhat manipulative and provocative, she felt justified in doing so for her mother’s sake.

...

After confirming that Li Si was sound asleep, Leng Mochen slowly withdrew his arm and gently moved her head onto the pillow.

Even while sleeping, her brows were still faintly furrowed. He reached out and softly brushed his hand across her forehead to smooth them out.

She shouldn’t have had to endure such a horrifying experience!

Thinking about Tian Yaru’s motivations and reasoning, his lips curled into a cold, ruthless smile.

Initially, he hadn’t planned on taking further action against Tian Yaru. Letting her fend for herself would have been enough.

But sometimes, mercy towards one’s enemies is cruelty towards oneself.

Leng Mochen took out his phone and sent a message:

Come to Beijing immediately!
