Chapter 116: Chapter 113 Goodbye, Beijing (Second Update)

She walked quickly to the cucumber field. The vines wrapped around the trellis had already turned yellow and dry, and the nearby string beans were the same.

What was going on? After taking a look around, she discovered that all the wilted plants were closer to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree. The same situation happened before with the medicinal field; even though the ginseng wasn’t big, it used to look vibrant and full of life.

Now its surface had developed wrinkles, resembling the lines on the face of an 80-year-old grandmother. On the other hand, the fruit trees farther away didn’t show much change.

Li Si’s eyes lit up as her imagination soared. Suddenly, she thought of a possibility—could the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree be absorbing their nutrients and water? The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!

Xiao Guai followed its owner back and forth, aimlessly wandering. After tiring itself out, it sat on the ground pitifully, clutching a Big-Mouth Monkey toy as it gazed at her.

Li Si sat on the ground, racking her brain to analyze her earlier hypothesis, trying to determine if her reasoning was correct.

She glanced at Xiao Guai nearby and seemed serious as she spoke, "Xiao Guai, do you think it’s possible that the Bone Marrow Cleansing Tree that bloomed is about to bear another Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit? But if I think about it, it still feels unlikely!"

Xiao Guai couldn’t answer her question and could only bare its teeth and make whining sounds.

Li Si stood up, patted the dirt off her pants, and decided it was better to leave after being in here for a while. If her elder brother came to the room looking for her and she stayed silent all this time, things would get complicated!

Just as Li Si left the space, there was a sudden knock at the door. She felt a wave of apprehension for her earlier actions—it was a close call. It seemed she came out just in time!

She quickly opened the door, and Leng Mochen’s handsome face appeared, tight with anxiety. "Why hasn’t there been any reply for so long?"

He had initially wanted to check if she had fallen asleep, but after knocking countless times without any response, he tried turning the doorknob and found it locked from inside. He was one step away from kicking the door down, fearing something might have happened to her. He silently vowed that if this happened again, no matter how much she pouted or begged, he wouldn’t indulge her whims anymore!

Li Si playfully stuck out her tongue. "I slept so soundly; I didn’t hear anything!"

"Your stomach was empty earlier. Come to the dining room and have some porridge." Leng Mochen gave her a thoughtful glance.

She hurriedly nodded and followed him to the dining room. On the table was a bowl of white porridge, still warm. The sight of it brought a sense of warmth to her heart. "Thank you, Brother!"

"There’s no need for thanks between us! Drink it. Feeling better?"

"Lying down for a bit helped a lot!"

Li Si picked up the white soup spoon and savored the slightly sweet porridge spoonful by spoonful.

Leng Mochen watched her intently, his expression serious. "Is it because of Tian Yaru that you want to leave?"

She froze, her stare seemingly asking how he found out.

"It wasn’t hard to figure out! I had Jiang Feng investigate, and after seeing how unusually you acted after returning from the restroom, wasn’t that confirmation?" When he first learned this, he was furious. How much more did the Tian Family want to push this girl before they’d stop?

Li Si briefly explained what happened, skimming over the details related to Tian Yaruo.

However, what she didn’t realize was that from the beginning, Leng Mochen had intended to investigate Tian Yaruo. When Jiang Feng reported that both Tian Yaru and Tian Yaruo were seen at the Sea Sky Residence, he had pieced everything together!

"Brother, you wouldn’t laugh at me for being weak and useless, would you?" Li Si asked pitifully. She knew her weaknesses—soft-heartedness, avoidance, and the tendency to act like a martyr.

Leng Mochen shook his head. "I wouldn’t! Don’t overthink it. Get a good sleep. Tomorrow, we’re leaving this place!" People grow up slowly; he believed that after this incident, her mindset would undergo a transformation.

After finishing the porridge, Li Si felt tired. She returned to her room and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Leng Mochen picked up his phone and began discussing matters with someone on the other end. After hanging up, his face wore a cold smile. "I’ll make you regret what you did today!"

At Beijing Airport, Li Si and Leng Mochen were sitting in a coffee shop, drinking coffee. He was typing away on his laptop, handling work, while Li Si was browsing the latest fashion magazine. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

However, this tranquility was abruptly interrupted by a piercing ringtone. When she picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, her lips curled into a mocking smile. She really knew how to pick the timing for her call—right when she was about to leave.

"Hello." Li Si’s voice was cold. After all that had happened, how could she muster up any warmth?

On the other end, Tian Yaruo’s apologetic and gentle voice came through. "Tiantian, I’m sorry! This is the only chance I’ve had to call you. Is your health better now? You won’t blame me for not visiting, right? I really couldn’t get away!"

"I’m fine. From now on, no need to concern yourself. I’m at the airport, boarding soon. Don’t worry, it’s fine not to get away. After all, we’re just strangers!"

Her voice grew hurried. "Why are you leaving today? What about your birthday in a few days? Aren’t I supposed to celebrate it with you? We agreed before, didn’t we?"

Li Si snickered. "Birthday? Thanks for remembering, but that’s unnecessary now! Go celebrate with your family instead. I won’t be needing you!"

"Tiantian, are you angry? Yesterday I wanted to take the time to call you, but Kesong needed someone by his side. Then Weiwei... Anyway, I’m really sorry!"

"Sorry? A nice ’sorry.’ Is there anything else you want to say to me besides that?" Li Si couldn’t help but press her, wondering if she could say anything more meaningful.

"I..." The other end seemed at a loss for words. Li Si didn’t want to continue this pointless conversation. "Alright, I’m boarding soon. Goodbye! Lastly, I hope you’ll take care of yourself. And pass along this message to Tian Yaru: those who commit unjust deeds will meet their downfall. I look forward to seeing what miserable end she’ll meet!"

Ending the call, she felt a profound disappointment. From now on, she would reclaim her independence. Why not become a carefree, independent woman? That so-called maternal love had been nothing more than an unattainable fantasy.

Leng Mochen glanced at her crestfallen expression and spoke softly, "Little one, don’t be sad!"

"Brother, I’m not really sad—just disappointed! Okay, enough about that. Time is running out. Let’s go!" Li Si stood up, grabbed her bag, and waited for Leng Mochen to put away his computer before they left the coffee shop together.

As they approached the boarding gate, Li Si turned back for one last look behind her. Unable to resist, she let out a bitter smile. What was she still waiting for? Or rather, what was she still hoping for? Farewell, Beijing.

At the Tian Family’s residence, in the first-floor living room, Tian Yaruo sat on the sofa, dazed as she held the phone that had already been hung up. She murmured, "She must hate me now..."

The old lady came down from upstairs. Seeing her like this, she spoke urgently, "What’s wrong? Did something happen to Kesong?"

She shook her head with a bitter smile. "It’s Tiantian. I just called her; she’s already at the airport heading back to North City! That child must hate me deeply now. Mom, what should I do? Is it too late for me to go after her now?"

The old lady held her cold hand and persuaded, "Even if you go, what can you do? It’s just fate for the two of you! Leaving might be for the best—it’s one less worry. Your elder sister mentioned yesterday that she saw her at Weiwei’s birthday banquet. Afraid the child might interfere with your life, she said some harsh words to her. Thinking about it now, that child seems quite understanding. You’ll have chances to make it up to her later!"

"What?" Tian Yaruo raised her head in shock. No wonder Tiantian said those things during the call just now! How could her elder sister do such a thing? This time, it’s all ruined...
