Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 772 - 689: Troublemaker (First Update)

Leng Mochen arrived home, and Mrs. Leng noticed his expression was not good. Thinking about Mr. Tian Sr., who he might have encountered, she asked with concern, "Mochen, are you alright? Did you run into someone or something?"

Leng Mochen replied indifferently, "Yeah. Why are you here?"

He didn’t see the figures of Li Si or Buding in the living room.

Mrs. Leng chuckled awkwardly, "Isn’t it because I’m worried about Sisi? After everything she went through yesterday, talking with her a bit should make her feel better."

She definitely wouldn’t reveal the suspicions she previously harbored in her heart.

"Did you see those Tian Family members? Haven’t they left yet?"

"No, they haven’t left!"

Mrs. Leng stood up angrily, "What are they trying to do? Clinging on shamelessly like this, do they expect us to relent and meet them?

I really can’t understand the way people like them think!

This won’t do! I’m going to call the property manager! What kind of work are they even doing?"

"Don’t bother. They should have left by now!" Leng Mochen lowered his eyes, hiding the frustration in his heart. "Where are Sisi and the child?"

Mrs. Leng took his words as a cue to sit down, "They’re in the room getting changed! By the way, isn’t Sisi’s birthday coming up soon? What are you planning for it this year?"

Leng Mochen replied, "We’ll discuss it when the time comes."

At that moment, Li Si came downstairs holding Buding, who was dressed in a fresh outfit. Seeing Leng Mochen had returned, she smiled warmly, "Why are you so late to come back? Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet!" Leng Mochen finally showed a hint of a smile. "What’s on the menu?"

Buding sucked his fingers, his big eyes blinking as he stared at his father.

Li Si sat beside him, holding Buding, "What would you like to eat? I had Western cuisine earlier at lunch with Mr. Jin and Yichen."

Leng Mochen’s eyes flickered, "They came over!"

Jin Jiachao’s actions were becoming increasingly difficult for him to read!

First, he mentioned Lu Qilin was coming to Beijing to meet him, while simultaneously warning him to be cautious of Lu Qilin.

Yet today, he first made a call to arrange a meeting for Lu Qilin with him, and then showed up with Jin Yichen himself. What on earth was he trying to achieve with all this?

"Yes! They heard from Xiao Ning and decided to drop by for a visit!"

"Sisi, come, give Buding to me!"

Mrs. Leng smiled as she took Buding, watching the relationship between the couple with a mixture of emotions—joy and melancholy.

Leng Mochen had begun to harbor suspicions about Jin Jiachao’s conduct.

Once Mrs. Leng left, he grabbed Li Si and began talking about his meeting with Lu Qilin.

Upon hearing about how her two gambling stones both skyrocketed in value recently and that others had now caught wind of the matter, Li Si felt deep regret.

"Sigh! If I’d known I’d later live in Beijing, I would’ve been so much more cautious and careful back then."

Leng Mochen looked at her scrunched-up face and comforted her, "Stop overthinking it. Even if you’ve had extraordinary experiences, it’d be impossible to predict and plan for where you’d end up living!

I told you this because I wanted to remind you. Jin Jiachao might seem harmless towards you and me.

But sometimes, unintentional good intentions could be exploited by intentional bad actors. So, while I don’t object to your collaboration with him on the Rising Sun Plan, you must remain vigilant. Lu Qilin doesn’t seem like he’ll let things slide easily!"

Li Si took his words seriously and, after pondering for a while, said, "I’ll be more careful! But why is that person so determined to drag me into this? Is it purely for profit? It doesn’t feel like it!"

If Lu Qilin truly had that level of power and influence, why would he negotiate with Leng Mochen like this? He could easily employ a different approach or method! 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She found it all peculiar, an inexplicable sense of unease.

Leng Mochen felt relieved and pinched her cheek, "Your little brain is finally working! You can even spot something strange now!"

"Ugh! Stop underestimating me, will you?" Li Si glared at him, unwilling to back down, "Come on, tell me! What’s the real reason? I don’t believe for a second that you don’t know anything!"

Given what she knew about him, he would never engage in a meeting unprepared.

If he agreed to meet Lu Qilin, he must have thoroughly planned beforehand.

Leng Mochen’s brows furrowed slightly, his expression becoming complicated, "He found out it was me who orchestrated Lu Zhengming’s imprisonment!"

"What?! So everything he’s been doing has been to get revenge on you!" Li Si’s face showed a hint of alarm. If Lu Qilin knew that it was Leng Mochen who sent Lu Zhengming to prison, then as a father, retaliation would be inevitable.

But as she thought about the tangled web of cause and effect, it all seemed impossible to untangle.

In both her previous life and this one, Lu Zhenghang had died because of Lu Zhengming—one time through an elevator accident and another through a devastating car crash.

In both instances, Lu Zhengming left no evidence linking him as the mastermind.

This time, Leng Mochen retaliated by using certain methods to punish Lu Zhengming in a different way, avenging the past.

But in the eyes of Qin Xin and Lu Qilin, Leng Mochen’s revenge seemed incomprehensible.

Even if they investigated to the extreme, they wouldn’t uncover the origins of their grudge.

And Lu Qilin would never know that Leng Mochen was a reincarnation of his son from a previous life.

"Not necessarily!"

What Lu Qilin would do next was something he couldn’t fathom right now.

Li Si’s brows furrowed, her eyes flashing with concern. Lately, it felt like trouble was brewing everywhere, and these people were popping up one after another like mushrooms after the rain.

Length Mochen saw her expression and smiled faintly, "What’s there to fear, little girl? Even if he tries something now, I won’t go soft on him!

Showing mercy to him would mean being cruel to ourselves! I won’t let those things ever happen to us again."

The events of his previous life were long gone.

They ended the moment he died, dissipating completely. As far as he was concerned, Lu Qilin was nothing more than a stranger now.

There’s no reason to hold onto any sentiment. Besides, in his previous life, did he ever receive any genuine care from Lu Qilin?

Does he still need to dwell on such matters?

"But!" Li Si thought about the issue of her gambling windfall being leaked, feeling troubled, "Who could have revealed that information? And if my matter really gets exposed, there will definitely be countless people’s eyes fixated on me.

At that time, I’m afraid my troubles will be endless!"

That kind of life would be the hardest to endure, the most unbearable!

Leng Mochen reassured her by patting her shoulder, "It’s not clear who leaked it yet, but it must have been one of those who witnessed your stone gambling at the time. There’s no point dwelling on it now!"

Li Si nodded helplessly, "Right. Obsessing over it now would be absolutely pointless! Honey, do you think I’m just a magnet for trouble? Why do I keep encountering problems like this?

I feel like my past self had nothing but a brain full of mush! Why didn’t I think to act cautiously then?"
