CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 213: NEW DISCOVERIES

Li Si frowned as she analyzed the situation, guessing there might be something going on inside. Meanwhile, her hand gently massaged Su Meng’s temples.

After a while, Su Meng waved her hand. "Much better! Sisi, thank you! You don’t have to rub anymore! I’m fine now!"

"How about we go to the hospital and have it checked out? How could you suddenly have a headache out of nowhere?" Li Si suggested with concern. In all the years she’d known Su Meng, this was the first time she’d seen her have such an abrupt headache.

Su Meng looked in the direction where the two people had left, pondering for a moment before saying, "I’m feeling much better now, but just now—it was really weird!

I think that woman in the white dress looked so familiar, but when I tried to recall it carefully, my head hurt so much I couldn’t bear it. I couldn’t remember anything. Sisi, who is she? Do you think she might have had something to do with me in the past?"

Li Si understood Su Meng’s speculation. A feeling flashed through her mind for a split second, but it passed so quickly that she couldn’t catch hold of it.

"That woman is Mochen’s ex-girlfriend. Maybe you met her back when you were hanging out with Brother Wu? After all, Brother Wu is close to Mochen, so it’s only natural they’d bring their girlfriends along when hanging out!" Li Si analyzed calmly.

Su Meng felt a pang in her heart as she grabbed Li Si’s hand. "Sisi, those things are all in the past. As long as he loves you now, that’s all that matters!"

Li Si was briefly stunned before breaking into a smile. Her heart warmed at Su Meng’s words. Su Meng was worried she might be jealous about Leng Mochen’s past, but fortunately, she’d already come to terms with it. Otherwise, jealousy would have been inevitable.

"I know! Meng Meng, I don’t care about his past at all. Who doesn’t have a past? The important thing is to live in the present!"

Seeing that Li Si truly didn’t care, Su Meng relaxed. As she mulled over those words—to live in the present—she suddenly felt as though certain things had become clearer.

Li Si’s eyes lit up. "Why don’t we go find Brother Heizi and let him know about this? If there really is something off, investigating might uncover some answers!"

Su Meng wholeheartedly agreed with her idea. Li Si grabbed her phone and called Heizi, learning that he happened to be on duty today. The two left the mall and drove straight to Heizi’s workplace.

Two flowers bloom; one branch each.

Meanwhile, Yin Qi and Qian Rouxuan parted ways directly in the mall parking lot. Both walked away burdened with heavy thoughts, their minds weighed down with emotion.

On Qian Rouxuan’s side, her trembling fingers gripped the steering wheel, but she didn’t start the car.

In this moment, waves of turmoil surged within her. Someone who should no longer exist had suddenly appeared before her, alive and well. The sight had thrown her completely off balance, leaving her flustered and panicked.

What puzzled her, though, was that the person seemed not to recognize her.

Even so, she had to act quickly.

This woman’s appearance was like a ticking time bomb. No—it couldn’t be allowed. She needed to think of a way. Since she had made her disappear once before, she could do it again.

And then, there was Li Si. Initially, she’d thought Li Si would be easy to deal with, but now she seemed sharp-tongued and opinionated. Last time, when John got injured, Leng Mochen seemed unusually attentive to her. According to her previous plan, breaking them up would be incredibly challenging.

Her earlier remarks—no matter how foolish Yin Qi might be, even she would start to grow suspicious. This indicated that Yin Qi had already figured out something. Regardless of whether she had spoken to Leng Mochen about it yet, Rouxuan needed to act preemptively and remove all unstable variables!

As the thought came to her, a cold smile surfaced on Qian Rouxuan’s lips. Instead of dealing with them separately, why not take advantage of the opportunity to remove them both at once? When Li Si disappeared without a trace, she and John would have already integrated into the Leng Family. After some time had passed, people would naturally forget about her. Who would still remember someone like her?

She would become Leng Mochen’s legitimate wife, basking in endless wealth and honor for the rest of her life. John would emerge with dignity as the first great-grandson of the Leng Family.

As visions of the future filled her mind, she smiled smugly in delight.

Yin Qi hurried back to the Han Family residence. Mrs. Han was in the living room, keeping Beibei company as she painted. Seeing Yin Qi’s unsettled expression, she asked with concern, "Xiao Qi, what’s the matter?"

With a weak smile, Yin Qi replied, "Mom, it’s nothing, just a bit tired from shopping. I’ll go upstairs and rest for a while. Is Mingzhe home?"

"Mingzhe’s upstairs, I think he’s in the study. Go rest if you’re tired. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat," Mrs. Han said, noticing that Yin Qi didn’t want to elaborate further and deciding not to press the matter.

Beibei proudly held up her freshly painted picture of a baby duck. "Mommy, look! Did I do a good job?"

Yin Qi took the painting, but her mind was elsewhere. She merely glanced at it briefly and feigned delight with a smile. "It’s amazing! Our Beibei is so talented! Mommy is a little tired, so why don’t you stay with Grandma for now, okay?"
