Chapter 337: Chapter 337

Then perhaps he found out where she worked, and later, stalked her to figure out where she lived. Check latest chapters at nοvelfire.net

Tonight was a coincidence. After she finished talking to Li Si on the phone, she tidied herself up a bit and noticed the time was about right, so she went downstairs to wait.

Who would’ve thought she’d run into Cao Yufan, who had been wandering downstairs for over an hour, leading to everything that happened afterward.

Thanks to Xu Er’s deliberate attempt to lighten the mood, everyone ate and laughed together, brushing off the earlier awkward moment.

Because of this incident, Xu Er and Bai Shasha seemed to grow closer. Who would’ve thought that Xu Er, this silly guy, managed to accidentally win Bai Shasha’s approval?

Long Wu sat on the side, clearly jealous, stealing glances at Su Meng. When will his springtime arrive?

Since Li Si is pregnant, no one felt comfortable staying out too late. Besides, even if they wanted to, some cooperation would be needed.

Before parting ways, Li Si said a few words to Bai Shasha, urging her to stay safe and not open the door for anyone.

She worried Cao Yufan might be unreasonably persistent and even considered suggesting Bai Shasha move to a different place.

Bai Shasha shook her head, insisting it wasn’t that serious. She was used to living there, and the neighbors were nice. She even told Li Si to take care of herself and not worry unnecessarily!

Li Si found herself laughing and crying over this!

Thanks to the old man’s instructions, when Li Si visited the hospital again, she noticed Mrs. Leng looking at her with a gaze full of excitement. Her warm inquiries were so enthusiastic that it was as if the previous unpleasant experiences had never happened.

Seeing the old man looking so much better today, almost as if he weren’t ill, both she and Leng Mochen were quite relieved. Truly, this miracle river seemed to defy logic.

Fortunately, everyone found the old man’s improved condition fairly normal. Heart disease often worked this way: alarming when active, but seemingly fine when dormant. Even Li Si felt at ease.

Leng Mochen was summoned by the old man to discuss the affairs of the Leng Family’s business. Since he was back now, he had to take over immediately. During the old man’s illness, the Leng Family’s internal situation had descended into chaos.

The original shareholders had split into factions, and the newly appointed professional managers were unable to maintain control.

At this point, only Leng Mochen’s return could restore order and balance these complex dynamics.

This time, Leng Mochen didn’t refuse. In the past, he truly didn’t want the Leng Family business from the bottom of his heart, but Leng Mohao couldn’t believe him and had even schemed to harm him.

Now that things had come to this, there was no point in rejecting it anymore.

While the grandfather and grandson conversed happily, Li Si was directly pulled aside to the sofa by Mrs. Leng, who solemnly apologized to her:

"Sisi, I owe you an apology! Everything that happened before was my fault. I don’t expect you to forgive me right away, but in the future, watch how I behave, okay?

I heard from your grandfather that you’re pregnant, so tell me what kind of wedding you’d like, and I’ll help you and Mochen plan it. You won’t have to worry about anything; just give the orders!"

Li Si shook her head: "We don’t want to have the wedding for now. We’re planning to wait until after the baby is born to make up for it!"

She wasn’t polite about it. Since Mrs. Leng was a "surface-level" mother-in-law, Li Si decided to keep up appearances but wouldn’t let herself endure any grievances like before.

Thus, she spoke directly with no hesitation or reservations.

Mrs. Leng’s expression briefly froze. Li Si had truly changed. If it had been in the past, she would’ve introduced any decision gracefully and often deferred to Mrs. Leng’s opinions. But now, everything had shifted.

The confidence and determination in Li Si’s eyes caught Mrs. Leng off guard. This wasn’t the time for nitpicking or complaining—it was time to win her over.

Mrs. Leng quickly adjusted her mood and warmly agreed: "Ah, I see! That makes sense. You’re still in the early stages of pregnancy, and the morning sickness must be uncomfortable. Even if someone were to help take care of everything, a wedding still requires a lot of effort and mental strain.

Let’s go with your plan then. When the time comes, Mochen can give you an exceptional, grand wedding!"

Despite a small sense of regret in her heart, Mrs. Leng let it go when she thought about the child in the womb. Everything now had to yield to the child—what if something happened while planning a wedding? Then where would she cry?

"Thank you, Mom!" Seeing Mrs. Leng act sensibly, Li Si sweetly reciprocated, attempting to appease her.

Mrs. Leng felt much better, her face softening with a genuine smile.

Both sides were determined to at least maintain their surface-level goodwill. Thus, their conversation proceeded amicably. As long as Mrs. Leng abandoned that "mother-in-law has the final say" mentality, Li Si believed they might just get along.
