Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 848 - 765: In a Single Thought

In the hall, Ouyang Yan was in charge of the overall setup, Li Si was responsible for arranging the party scene, and Leng Ning supervised the preparation of the food. The three of them had a clear division of labor.

Leng Ning was very satisfied with her work and occasionally went to Li Si to sample the freshly baked pastries.

"Sister-in-law! How does it taste?"

Li Si swallowed the delicious but rich pastry, "Not bad! But Xiao Ning, please don’t make me taste any more! I really just want to eat something savory now, it’s too rich!"

Leng Ning deliberately leaned forward and blinked: "Actually, me too!" She couldn’t help but burst into laughter after saying it.

Li Si keenly noticed some cream on Leng Ning’s sleeve, not sure where she got it from, and pointed it out to Leng Ning: "Look at you, how old are you now! Still like a child!"

Leng Ning only just realized it, tilting her head to recall: "Really! Where did I get it from?"

She had prepared this dress especially for Grandpa’s birthday party and really liked it!

Unfortunately, now that it’s stained, she can’t wear it!

Li Si laughed and pushed her a bit: "Go tidy up and dress up! When Yichen and Mr. Jin arrive later and see you like this, they’ll be shocked!"

Leng Ning wrinkled her nose: "Sister-in-law! I found a problem!"

Li Si was directing the servants to fix the freshly arranged flowers, and she turned around to ask: "What problem?"

"You’re starting to sound more and more like mom!"

Li Si rolled her eyes at her: "Get out of here!"

What kind of look was that?!

Leng Ning stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "I’ll go back home to change clothes first."

After saying that, she dashed out, and Li Si shook her head with a smile, thinking about how adorable Leng Ning’s personality was!

But does she really have the potential to become like Mrs. Leng? She couldn’t help quickly shaking her head, no! She wanted to be a good mother-in-law in the future!

By the time Leng Mo hurried over to help, the old house had already shed its previous coldness and gloom, refreshed and filled with festivity and life.

"Xiao Mo’s here?" Ouyang Yan greeted her with a smile.

Leng Mo smiled lightly: "Yes! My dad will come over later! Second Aunt, Second Sister-in-law, is there anything else I can do?"

Ouyang Yan looked around and saw that everything was pretty much ready. While there wasn’t really anything else to do, she thought she should find something since Leng Mo rarely volunteered.

"Why don’t you help your sister-in-law and see if there’s anything that needs adjusting!"

Leng Mo quickly replied: "Okay!"

She also looked at Li Si amiably: "Sister-in-law! Buding didn’t come?"

Leng Mo quite liked the little kid Buding, and she didn’t see him in the hall!

Li Si wasn’t stingy with her smile: "Buding is in the study with Grandpa keeping him company!"

Ouyang Yan saw that they were chatting happily and said with a smile, "I’ll go check the kitchen! I really don’t know where Xiao Ning went, haven’t seen her for a while!"

What to do with such a carefree and unreliable daughter! She disappeared as soon as one turned around!

Li Si quickly explained: "Mom! Xiao Ning’s clothes got dirty, she went back home to change, she’ll be back soon!"

Ouyang Yan laughed: "That child! Still behaves like a little kid!"

Li Si looked at her helplessly: "..."

Why is she saying the same thing!

In reality, Leng Mo and Li Si didn’t have much to talk about, and even less common ground, so the only common topic, Buding, after discussing some of his funny anecdotes, it started to feel a bit dull, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Luckily, the hall wasn’t just the two of them, which slightly alleviated the situation.

Leng Mo hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Si: "Sister-in-law! There’s something I don’t know if I should tell you!"

"Huh? Xiao Mo? What is it?"

Li Si had a feeling what Leng Mo wanted to say was significant, as she focused her attention on her.

Leng Mo quietly began to speak: "Did you know..."

At this moment, Leng Mochen entered from outside, and Leng Mo immediately turned her gaze towards him. Her instinct told her that her Second Brother’s expression wasn’t very good.

Li Si also noticed Leng Mochen, and she had a feeling that he definitely wasn’t in a good mood right now.

"Second Brother!" Leng Mo greeted him.

Leng Mochen glanced at Leng Mo: "Hmm!"

"Did you come straight from the company?" Li Si asked casually.

"Yes."

Leng Mo looked at the two of them and knew that it was clearly not the right time to say anything, so she sensibly said: "Second Brother! Second Sister-in-law! I’ll head over there first!"

"Hey! Alright! Xiao Mo, what was it you wanted to tell me?" Li Si asked, feeling that Leng Mo seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped because of Leng Mochen’s sudden appearance.

Leng Mo lightly shook her head: "It’s nothing! Just a small matter! We’ll talk about it later!"

"Okay then!" Li Si watched her back as she walked away, then shifted her attention back to Leng Mochen, whispering: "What’s going on?"

Leng Mochen ruffled her hair, feeling that there was still someone in this world who understood and loved him, making him not feel alone!

His eyes were full of tenderness: "I’ll tell you when we get back!"

Li Si nodded: "Alright!"

She knew this wasn’t the right place for intimate conversations, with so many eyes in the room.

"Why don’t you go to the study and be with Grandpa, and check on our son too!"

"Okay!"

Li Si watched Leng Mochen’s back with some worry, wondering what had happened as she detected some different emotions from him.

In the study, Buding reached out his little arms wanting a hug as soon as he realized his dad had arrived.

Mr. Leng Sr. found it rare to watch the interactions between them with interest, and only spoke after a while: "Mochen, Elder Yan will also be coming tonight!"

A flicker of understanding passed through Leng Mochen’s eyes, and he put Buding down so he could play by himself.

He then sat by the old man’s side: "Grandpa, if there’s something you want to say, just say it!"

Mr. Leng Sr. sighed: "I know that because of Li Si, you haven’t been easy on the Yan family’s eldest! But Mochen, there should be a limit to everything, let it be enough!

In life, when you reach my age, you’ll understand that endless retaliation gets you nowhere. It’s better to let go and make peace with a smile!"

Leng Mochen lowered his head in thought before responding: "I understand! Grandpa, you can rest assured, I will do as you ask!"

As for the pressure on Yan Xuefeng, he had recently stopped it, but clearly the Yan family’s situation wasn’t something that could recover quickly just because he stopped exerting pressure.

Therefore, he was willing to listen to Grandpa and extend an olive branch!

Grandpa seemed very satisfied with this and said, "I’m glad you’re like this, you’re doing better than I did when I was young!"

Mr. Leng Sr. still felt the need to advise further: "Mochen, your grandfather has much to say today!"

Leng Mochen looked at him earnestly: "Go ahead!"

Respect still lingered in his heart for Mr. Leng Sr., even though he wasn’t the original owner, and he naturally let his demeanor soften.

"I watched you grow up, but ever since you woke up after the car accident, your personality has changed drastically! Yet you’ve become steadier and more ruthless than before, at first I was pleased! You were the grandson I was proud of! Like I was in my younger days!

But now, looking back, being too ruthless in actions may eventually harm others and oneself. Everything in this world has cause and effect, and often it all depends on a single thought..."
