If Jin Yichen wanted to tell Leng Ning about this matter, then there’s no way Leng Ning wouldn’t know what’s going on with He Qingchi by now.
So Li Si felt that maybe Jin Yichen didn’t want to bring it up either, to avoid giving Leng Ning a negative impression of his father.
At this mont, He Qingchi’s figure entered the room, and Leng Ning relaxed her furrowed brow.
"Brother, sister-in-law, have the driver turn to the back entrance. I’ll get off there! Luckily, I can enter through another door."
Leng Mochen tapped on the partition, and the driver turned the car toward the back entrance.
When they reached the destination, Leng Ning smiled and bid farewell to the two: "Brother, sister-in-law, I’m getting off now! Buding, goodbye! Auntie will co visit you when I’ve got ti!"
"Alright! Co to the house when you’re free!" Li Si paused, smiled, and patted her hand. Regarding the matter of Qi Yayun initially plotting with He Qingchi to sche against Jin Jiachao, Li Si had only ntioned it to Leng Mochen. She hadn’t told anyone else.
Even to Leng Ning, she had remained tight-lipped. After all, Jin Jiachao was her father-in-law. Bringing it up could lead to unwelco speculation, which wasn’t ideal.
Especially since He Qingchi had just made an appearance, the fact that Leng Ning didn’t seem aware of anything proved that Jin Yichen hadn’t ntioned those sordid details to her. Well, there’ll be opportunities to talk about it in the future!
Leng Ning’s phone suddenly rang sharply, and her hand froze just as she was about to touch the car door.
"Answer the call first!" Li Si reminded her.
Leng Ning took out her phone from her bag, glanced at the caller ID, and saw that it was Jin Yichen. She smiled as she answered, her voice turning exponentially sweeter:
"Are you done with work?"
Jin Yichen first asked over the phone whether Leng Qiankai and Ouyang Yan had boarded the plane. Leng Ning chatted with him for a while, and then he suddenly asked whether Li Si was with her.
Leng Ning paused for a mont and replied, "My sister-in-law? She’s right next to ! What’s up?"
Jin Yichen chuckled in his deep voice: "Then give her the phone; I have sothing to discuss with her!"
Leng Ning handed the phone to Li Si, "Sister-in-law! Yichen wants to talk to you!"
"Huh?" Li Si, sowhat puzzled, answered: "Hello!"
Across from them, Leng Mochen’s gaze flickered briefly before returning to calm.
"Li Si, here’s the situation. My people followed Qi Yayun and discovered that she t with a woman who seed to be discussing a plan targeting you!
Li Si! I don’t know exactly who this woman is, but you must stay vigilant..."
"Alright! Got it! Thank you!"
After Li Si hung up the phone, Leng Ning’s expression faltered. Suppressing the complexities in her heart, she softly asked, "Sister-in-law! What did Yichen want to talk to you about?"
Today was the day her parents went abroad. As her fiancé, he hadn’t been able to co see them off, but she understood since he was on a business trip in another city.
Yet, for a long ti, Jin Yichen and his father’s exceptional kindness toward Li Si had made her feel subtly uneasy. She had rely refrained from ntioning it so far.
It wasn’t that she was petty-minded—it was just hard to make sense of.
Even though her sister-in-law resembled Jin Yichen’s aunt, Jin Jiai, she had no blood connection to them whatsoever, right?
Li Si, slightly embarrassed, nodded: "He said soone might be trying to harm !"
She hadn’t expected Jin Yichen to ask Leng Ning to pass her the phone. Actually, many tis, from Leng Ning’s remarks, she could sense her subtle dissatisfaction with how generous the Jin family’s father and son were toward her.
But, considering their good relationship, Leng Ning was too polite to say anything.
Leng Ning frowned slightly, "Sister-in-law! Who would want to harm you again?"
Would this ever end?
Li Si felt exasperated as well: "He doesn’t know either! Just overheard it by chance!"
"Oh, I see. Then I’ll get off first!" Even if Leng Ning wanted to ask further, she decided it wasn’t appropriate to press the matter. She got off the car and watched it drive away, pondering when to ask Jin Yichen about it.
Leng Mochen sat down beside Li Si and gently traced his finger across Buding’s soft skin.
"What exactly did Jin Yichen an?"
Li Si glanced at the closed partition in front of them and spoke softly: "Maybe he was also considering Leng Ning’s presence, so he didn’t say much over the phone. He only ntioned that his people were tailing Qi Yayun and happened to uncover sothing unexpected today.
A middle-aged woman t with Qi Yayun and ntioned my na, as well as ’eldest sister,’ ’niece’s wedding,’ and sothing about targeting .
His n only caught bits and pieces of the conversation during opportune monts. What a ss!"
Li Si was genuinely confused, unable to make sense of the cryptic ’eldest sister’ and ’niece’s wedding’ references.
Why were they targeting her? Who had she offended to deserve this? Why were people constantly coming after her?
Leng Mochen stroked his chin in thought for a while. Suddenly, his eyes sparked, and he leaned close to Li Si’s ear to ask cryptically: "Why is Qi Yayun so closely tied to He Qingchi?"
Li Si, holding Buding on her lap with one arm, pondered and answered, "Obviously, it’s because she has an agenda! Otherwise, why would she make an effort to help He Qingchi? I’ve heard that Jin Yichen has been giving them a hard ti recently!"
But He Qingchi still stubbornly kept approaching Leng Ning. Thinking about it, the man was certainly persistent.
Leng Mochen nodded and continued analyzing: "So, the person Qi Yayun t is definitely not ordinary! And ntioning targeting you, the niece’s wedding—
With these clues, recently, the only wedding we know of is Yin Rui and He Zixi’s. Then He Yinyin, being Zixi’s aunt, might attend as well. The ’niece’s wedding’ they’re talking about must refer to He Zixi!"
At this point, a dark storm brewed in Leng Mochen’s eyes. It seed those people were still unwilling to give up.
They were stealthily planning to harm Li Si during Yin Rui’s wedding.
No wonder Yin Rui had been insistent about inviting them to the wedding—it might very well have been under the He family’s orders.
If they went and the wedding venue turned chaotic, anything could happen without warning.
If sothing happened to Li Si unnoticed, even if Leng Mochen were powerful, what could he do after the fact?
Evidently, the exclusive interview had managed to silence so voices and redirect attention, but it hadn’t deterred those truly intent on using Li Si for their sches.
Li Si unconsciously hugged Buding tighter, muttering, "They..."
Her heart filled with regret for her earlier impulsiveness. If she had been more careful then, could she have avoided these headaches now?
But regret couldn’t solve anything. She had no choice but to face the challenges with strength.
Leng Mochen placed a hand over her mouth. "Don’t be afraid! Knowing now is better than discovering it later! At least we can prepare. Whoever is trying to harm you, I will never let them succeed! Do you trust ?"
Li Si nodded firmly. Her dark, luminous eyes were full of tenderness and trust: "I trust you!"
Leng Mochen’s eyes were equally full of affection. "Besides, we’re not completely on the losing side, right?"
His gaze was profound, and the two of them exchanged knowing smiles and nodded in unison.
Their advantages far surpassed what those people could imagine.
