Chapter 221: Chapter 197 Unspeakable Secret_2

Could it be this child?

Qian Rouxuan seemed to fear that Mrs. Leng might find something out and hurriedly made an excuse to leave.

Mrs. Leng watched the backs of the mother and son as they departed, lost in thought.

What she didn’t know was that Qian Rouxuan had a triumphant smile on her face as she turned away.

Although things didn’t go as planned, she still managed to engage Mrs. Leng in conversation.

The wedding of the eldest son of the Leng Group attracted the whole city’s attention. How could she not be aware of it?

In fact, when she brought John here today, she hadn’t intended to scheme anything. She just felt a bit unwilling.

Initially hoping to encounter Leng Mochen by chance, she never expected to bump into his mother instead, which aroused her suspicions. It was a worthwhile trip after all.

Thinking of Leng Mochen brought a smug smile to her lips. He was engaged, so what? As long as she turned back and coaxed him, breaking up with that woman would be easy.

After Mrs. Leng returned, she didn’t alarm anyone else and seemed somewhat preoccupied for the rest of the time. However, someone wouldn’t let her off the hook.

Zeng Qiuping, at the wedding banquet, was all smiles, boasting to everyone that their family found a good daughter-in-law. Not only did she have outstanding looks, but she also came from a good family and was well-bred!

She even deliberately mentioned this several times in front of Mrs. Leng, who was visibly unimpressed. Finally, after the newlyweds finished toasting at their table, she lingered a bit longer before leading a few people away.

On the way back, Leng Mochen and Mr. Leng were in the car in front, while Mrs. Leng, Li Si, and Leng Ning shared another car. As soon as they got in, Mrs. Leng dropped her smile and couldn’t help but complain, "Xiao Ning, Sisi, look at your aunt, as if nobody knows she married a daughter-in-law from a good family! She acts all high and mighty, wanting to let the whole world know!"

"Mom, if you don’t like watching this, then don’t! How she acts has nothing to do with us, right?" Leng Ning softly tried to comfort her mother. She really didn’t see anything wrong with it.

Even if Li Si didn’t come from a rich family, she and her big brother had a great relationship. In her view, marrying someone should be for a lifetime, and it should be with someone you get along with, like Leng Mohao and Liu Jiaqi. For her, their relationship seemed more like staying together for appearances.

Mrs. Leng also realized she had lost her composure in front of her daughter-in-law and the chauffeur, and quickly tried to make amends: "Look at me, getting old and chatty. I drank a bit today, so I talked a lot! Sisi, don’t take it to heart!"

In fact, Mrs. Leng’s mind was in turmoil, otherwise she wouldn’t have said these things even if she had thoughts.

"Not at all!" Li Si looked at her, lightly patted her hand, and answered with a smile.

But in her heart, she wasn’t without any thoughts. However, she smiled it off because as long as Leng Mochen loved and cared for her, no one else could hurt her.

Over the Labor Day holiday, after attending the wedding, Li Si and Leng Mochen spent the rest of the days sticking together.

Since Mo Si ventured into real estate, Leng Mochen had also been busy. They finally got some free days and decided to drive to Q City for a relaxing road trip.

This coastal city seemed to have a salty sea breeze in the air. The temperature was neither cold nor hot, making it the perfect season for tourism.

Pipis at this time were the fattest, and since both of them loved seafood, there were always a few freshly cooked seafood dishes on the table during those days.

They explored sights like Shanhai Pass and Beidaihe, eating and playing, walking and stopping along the way.

Finally, they went to Shitang Road, bought some shells and seafood products, and Li Si returned home with Leng Mochen, satisfied.

Leng Mansion.

"Mom, isn’t Xiao Ning here?" Li Si casually asked when she saw Mrs. Leng sitting alone on the sofa in the living room.

"She went out to meet some classmates! Sisi, how was your trip?" Mrs. Leng’s complexion was calm, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be a hint of worry in her brows, as if she had something troubling that she couldn’t express.

"It was great!" Li Si gently nudged Leng Mochen.

He understood, "What’s wrong with you?"

Mrs. Leng shook her head uneasily, "Nothing really, just feeling a bit tired lately. Mochen, come upstairs with me. I need to talk to you! Sisi, have some fruit first. Excuse me for a moment!"

"Okay!" Li Si watched them go upstairs. Leng Mochen winked at her, assuring her.

Li Si found Mrs. Leng’s attitude strange today, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and her expression was unnaturally strained. Had she done something recently to upset her? She couldn’t think of anything.

She could only wait for Leng Mochen to tell her what was going on later. Meanwhile, she distracted herself by playing games on her phone, passing the time as she waited.
