Otherwise, Xiao Ning would have gone abroad long ago. Isn’t it because she’s worried she won’t eat well overseas and won’t be used to many things that she’s holding back?
At this time, the barbecue on the iron plate was ready. Qian Rouxuan carefully cut it into small pieces and gave it to John. She smiled at Mrs. Leng gratefully and said, "Actually, Auntie, what you just said—my mom also mentioned these things to me. I’m feeling conflicted too! If I go abroad, I’ll worry about home. If I stay, I haven’t figured out what to do in the country yet." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nove1Fire.net
"Since you said so, I really need to make some plans. If I get busy in the future, John will definitely need you and Uncle Leng to help take care of him!"
Mrs. Leng nodded happily, took a sip of warm water, then said, "What’s there to worry about? Besides your uncle often being away, I have plenty of time. When the time comes, you don’t need to worry about John. I’ll help with his pick-up and care!"
Then she turned to John, who was nibbling on pieces of barbecue, and smiled. "John, if Grandma takes you to kindergarten in the future, will you be happy?"
John excitedly put down his fork and affectionately ran over to Mrs. Leng, wrapping his arms around her neck. "Happy! Grandma, will you always stay with me?"
"Of course!" Mrs. Leng beamed with joy as she promised. She believed her life would become more fulfilling with John around.
Qian Rouxuan smiled softly as she watched the two of them, convinced that step by step, she would achieve everything she wanted!
After hesitating for an entire night, Leng Ning finally decided she should talk to her elder brother. What if—what if he was still in the dark about the mess their mom created?
She initially thought about calling her sister-in-law too, but after a moment of reconsideration, she put down her phone. What would she even say? What if...
When Leng Mochen received Leng Ning’s call, he was in the middle of a meeting. He made a gesture, got up, and walked out of the conference room.
Leng Ning rarely called him, so this time, it must be something urgent.
The voice on the other end sounded hollow, probably because she was in some open space. "Brother, I—have you visited dad and mom’s house recently?"
Leng Mochen rubbed the bridge of his nose. "No!" He had a vague sense of what she wanted to say. If there was anyone in the Leng Family whom he truly cared for, it was none other than Leng Ning.
"Sigh, Brother, I... I actually wanted to ask, did you know Qian Rouxuan’s child is yours?" Leng Ning gritted her teeth and finally said it. But right after, she grew uneasy. Would her elder brother...
"I know! But not necessarily! How did you find out?" He looked at the scenery outside the building. The people he had sent abroad still hadn’t returned with any news, but he believed that as long as she had lived there, clues would inevitably emerge.
The domestic surveillance was ongoing too. He didn’t believe she could leave no trace at all!
Leng Ning sighed. "I went home yesterday. Dad and Mom brought the kid back. If I hadn’t seen him once before, I might have been completely kept in the dark by them!
Brother, what do you plan to do about this? If my sister-in-law finds out, wouldn’t she be heartbroken?" Leng Ning truly liked Li Si, so she started worrying about him as soon as this happened.
"Xiao Ning, thank you! But don’t worry; I’ll handle it! You don’t need to tell your sister-in-law about this. Trust me, it’ll all be resolved very soon!"
He had already known ever since the Leng Family parents brought the child back home.
He hadn’t taken any action for now, simply observing how things would unfold.
"Don’t worry, Brother. I won’t tell sister-in-law! Go ahead and get busy. Tomorrow’s my birthday party—can you and sister-in-law come? I want to introduce my boyfriend to you both!"
"Sure! We’ll be there!"
"Great, I’ll wait for you!"
After hanging up, Leng Mochen rubbed his chin in contemplation. Some things—it was time to take care of them!
With this thought, he picked up his phone, made a call, said a few instructions, and hung up.
He had always found Qian Rouxuan’s sudden appearance suspicious. As for who might be behind all this, he already had some idea.
He wasn’t the type to play the role of a convenient father. With enough money, why couldn’t the paternity test results be faked?
Those little tricks were only good enough to fool the Leng Family parents’ fervent desire for grandchildren.
With this thought, he called Li Si.
It took a while for the call to go through. Li Si answered with a curt and displeased "Hello." Judging by the background noise, the environment on the other end seemed chaotic—he even heard Mrs. Leng’s sharp voice in the background.
"Where are you?" he asked nervously.
Li Si had clearly mentioned earlier that he was taking Xiao Guai to visit Bai Shasha. How did he end up encountering Mrs. Leng instead?
