Chapter 292: Chapter 292

Leng Mohao was in a foul mood today. Ever since he took over the Leng Family business from Leng Mochen, most of the employees had followed his instructions without protest. But that finance director, Zheng Yi, always opposed him—what a thorn in the side.

It was time for another accounting check, and a transaction he had handled was once again brought up by Zheng Yi during the board meeting, which made him furious.

He refused to believe it—what company doesn’t have a few bad debts? Isn’t there always a little shady business here and there? The domestic and international economies were thriving right now. He had been riding the wave in the stock market and had seen good returns. It wasn’t as if he couldn’t cover that amount of money.

Why did Zheng Yi have to keep targeting him?

If not for his own secret investigation confirming that Zheng Yi had no connection to Leng Mochen, he would have suspected that this man was planted by Leng Mochen specifically to make his life miserable.

Speaking of Leng Mochen, he couldn’t help but think of that woman, Qian Rouxuan. She took every possible opportunity to push Li Si out, yet her mind was laser-focused on getting her child recognized in the family. Was that even possible?

From what he could see, his uncle and aunt had no say over Leng Mochen. What use was currying favor with them?

As for Zeng Qiuping’s sudden arrival, he was puzzled. His mother rarely came to the company; she was always cautious not to cause any unnecessary trouble for him.

However, seeing her visibly upset, he immediately asked the secretary to bring in two cups of tea. Since she said they needed to talk, he cleared his schedule for the rest of the day.

Once the office was left with just the two of them, mother and son, Leng Mohao looked at his mother, whose brows were furrowed as she sat stiffly on the sofa opposite him. He asked softly, "Mom, what is it you want to talk about?"

Looking at her son before her, Zeng Qiuping still found him as captivating as ever, radiating the charm of a successful man. But why couldn’t he control himself?

That woman, Qian Rouxuan—what kind of person was she? If he had to get involved with someone, why her of all people?

She couldn’t fathom what he found appealing about Qian Rouxuan. Back when that woman hooked up with Leng Mochen, she had bewitched him completely. If her sister-in-law hadn’t intervened, it was very likely this woman would have married into the Leng Family already.

"Son, I need to ask you something!"

"Go ahead!" Leng Mohao sat up straight, sensing that what she was about to say must be serious.

Zeng Qiuping took a photo out of her bag and handed it to Leng Mohao. "What is the meaning of this photo?"

Confused, Leng Mohao took the picture. When he saw that it was of him and Qian Rouxuan, he sprang to his feet in shock. What was this? Could it be that vile woman, Qian Rouxuan, had arranged for someone to secretly take photos of them? Was this a tool she planned to use to blackmail him?

His mind raced, thoughts swirling in a chaotic frenzy. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

When she saw that he didn’t deny it but instead looked shifty-eyed, Zeng Qiuping immediately knew it was true. Check latest chapters at novel✶fire.net

Clenching her teeth in disappointment, she quietly scolded, "Mohao, what on earth are you thinking? How could you get involved with that woman? Do you have any idea that the child she had with Leng Mochen was recently taken into your uncle’s house? If not for your grandfather’s intervention, the child’s status would have already been legitimized and publicly acknowledged! What do you think you’re doing?"

If this got out, wouldn’t everyone familiar with the situation laugh at their family?

What, had he never seen a woman before?

Fighting over a woman with his cousin? And this woman even had an illegitimate child! Wouldn’t people start speculating about whose child it really was?

Leng Mohao didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked directly, "Where did this photo come from?"

He was desperate to know where the leak had occurred. If this was Qian Rouxuan’s doing, then his next move would definitely be to make her disappear.

However, if this was the work of someone else with ulterior motives, he would need to act fast and handle it. If his grandfather found out about this, the old man would undoubtedly be furious with him. This might even provide the perfect excuse to kick him out of the Leng Family business altogether, and his downfall would be catastrophic.

Fuming, Zeng Qiuping pointed at him angrily. Despite her rage, she quickly explained the situation: "The photo was mailed to the house. Even Qiqi knows about it. Earlier, she was all set to storm over here and confront you, but I stopped her.

Unfortunately, then your mother-in-law called, saying she was sick. Qiqi rushed back to her family home in a panic, and she took the photos and the CD with her."

"She’s just as much of a headache. She’s obviously planning to show those things to your mother-in-law to have her figure it out!"

"What? There’s also a CD?" Leng Mohao was so furious he could barely speak. He grumbled inwardly against Zeng Qiuping—why hadn’t she dealt with this properly at home? If his mother-in-law and her family saw the CD, how would he ever face them again?
