Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 862 - 779: I Trust You to Handle It

Li Si composed herself and slowly walked downstairs. The hall was indeed quite crowded.

But she immediately spotted her son playing on Ouyang Yan’s lap on one side of the sofa.

On the other side, Wang Meishu and Leng Shuang’s mother were chatting animatedly. She curiously looked at them a bit longer, unable to figure out since when these two became so close!

Li Si glanced around the hall and keenly noticed Leng Shuang was absent. As she walked closer, she saw her mom looking a bit haggard, but she quickly shifted her focus to Buding.

As soon as Buding saw his mom, his eyes lit up, and he immediately tried to jump from Ouyang Yan’s arms towards Li Si.

Ouyang Yan jokingly gave him a light pat on his little butt, "This little rascal! Such a waste I’ve doted on him!"

He was sitting just fine in her lap, playing happily, but as soon as he saw Li Si, it was like he was on springs, constantly bouncing toward her.

Li Si smiled and reached out, "Mom, it’s getting late. I’ll take him upstairs to sleep first!"

They were staying at the Leng Mansion tonight, and tomorrow when the Jin Family came to pick up the bride, Buding had to accompany Leng Ning in the car. Because he was still young, Li Si would hold him during the ride.

It’s not early, and if the child sleeps early enough, he won’t cry from sleepiness when they have to wake up early tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yan promptly said, "Alright! Let the child sleep early! Has Mochen not returned from the old mansion yet?"

"Not yet!"

In the study of the old mansion, Mr. Leng Sr. was playing chess with Leng Mochen. The two were evenly matched, neither giving way to the other.

Finally, Mr. Leng Sr. narrowly won, and a rare knowing smile appeared on his heavily wrinkled face.

"You brat! Don’t think I can’t see through your game with my old eyes! Did you let me win on purpose?"

"No!" Leng Mochen appeared quite innocent, "You played well!"

Mr. Leng Sr. chuckled and pointed at him, choosing not to dwell on the issue. Instead, he turned serious and started talking about Leng Ning’s wedding tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, your sister’s getting married, but I can’t shake this strange premonition. So, Mochen, you must arrange everything well, and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

The Leng Family is in the spotlight now, and at this moment, openly or secretly, many eyes are on them. Leng Ning’s engagement banquet was already marred by an incident from the Yan Family’s eldest. Under no circumstances can her wedding have any mishaps.

If anything were to happen, not only would it be unfair to Leng Ning, but even the understanding Jin Family would feel discontent.

Leng Mochen nodded slightly, "Grandfather, rest assured! I’ve already made some arrangements!"

Mr. Leng Sr. nodded in satisfaction, "That’s good! I trust you to handle things!"

Meanwhile, compared to the Leng Family, the Jin Family’s hall was also bustling, even though there weren’t many relatives from Jin Jiachao’s side, the eager ones just couldn’t resist mingling in.

Jin Yichen’s mother, Su Ye, had passed away many years ago. But aside from his Uncle Su Ting’s family, there remained some tangled distant relatives from the Su Family.

Among today’s attendees was Qi Yayun’s mother, but Qi Yayun herself, perceptively, did not come.

Jin Jiachao was full of joy; his son was getting married tomorrow, bringing a new addition to the family. It wouldn’t be long before he could be holding a grandchild, so how could he not be happy?

Thus, even for those who weren’t too pleasing to the eye, he didn’t want to pay them much mind, just for the sake of keeping things auspicious and joyful.

But as people often do, give them an inch, and they take a mile.

Even though she was quite old, Qi Yayun’s mother had a sharp eye, frequently evaluating the lavish interiors and decor of the Jin family’s villa, her eyes filled with envy.

Finally catching Jin Jiachao as he was completing his tasks and passing by her, she leaned in with a smiling face and asked, "Jiachao, Yichen is getting married, how can his own uncle’s family not be present? What sense does that make?

Your family doesn’t have many relatives to begin with; it wouldn’t look good at the banquet. Perhaps you should notify them now to escort them over, after all, they’re close relatives, surely no overnight grudges remain, right? Don’t you agree..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Jin Jiachao’s face fell, "What does this have to do with you? How we handle our matters don’t need your interference as an outsider! You’d do better to care more about your own daughter!"

He knew well enough why Qi Yayun wasn’t present today.

First, because after the incident with He Qingchi, his son took quite a hit.

Second, somebody exposed scandalous affairs of Qi Yayun with a married man later on, yet she still had the face to appear in front of everyone.

The reason he didn’t let Su Ting’s family come was due to their lack of behavior befitting the occasion.

It was rare for his son to be marrying that Leng Ning girl, why let any mishaps happen in between?

Moreover, Leng Qiankai might still bear a grudge because of the past incident with Yin Xuan, potentially holding prejudice against his son. If any embarrassing issue arose, how could the father and son hold their heads up in front of the Leng Family?

The old lady was infuriated by the bluntly discourteous words but understood her prior big talk and was present with intentions to smoothen relations and foster closeness through attending Jin Yichen’s wedding.

So she gritted her teeth, forcing a smile, "You see! I was only giving some well-meaning advice! Why drag up my daughter Yayun?"

Jin Jiachao snorted coldly, "Why don’t you go back and ask her what ’good deeds’ she’s been up to?"

She had the audacity to act, and he felt no shame in mentioning it!

How could she team up with He Qingchi against him?

Thinking back, if not for Li Si and Yichen persistently following him to that clubhouse,

He might have truly been taken advantage of. At his age, it would have been disgraceful, like the saying, "toad on a foot, doesn’t bite but disgusts."

"I don’t know what’s brewing between you two, but can’t you forgive her once for the sake of young Xiao Ye who passed away...? Weren’t she and Xiao Ye the closest..."

If she hadn’t brought up Su Ye, it would have been better. At the mention, Jin Jiachao was truly provoked.

"Don’t mention Su Ye to me! You’re not worthy to bring her up! Besides, before I really lose my temper, you better leave! There’s no need to attend the wedding tomorrow; the Jin Family isn’t welcoming!"

If it weren’t for Su Ye’s sake, with his temper, how could he have tolerated these people all these years, like leeches trying to attach themselves to him and his son for money and benefits?

"You! How can you be so heartless..." the old lady said, about to cry out until Jin Jiachao shot her a sharp look that immediately stifled her cries.

"Shut up!"

At this time, Jin Yichen noticed his father at a distance, with a face like thunder, and hurriedly approached.

"Dad!"

Jin Jiachao waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

"You better leave right away, don’t make me say it a second time!"

Originally, he thought to let it slide, given it was his son’s big day.

But people truly can’t be indulged!
