Chapter 127 - 124 Recovery Gift

Chapter 127: Chapter 124 Recovery Gift

Li Si hurriedly rushed to catch the plane back to North City, finally exhaling a breath of relief after boarding. The timing had been far too tight—if she hadn’t acted quickly, she would have missed the flight. Thinking about the gift in her luggage, a smile bloomed on her face. She wondered if he’d like it!

As soon as she deplaned, she spotted the stern face of Leng Mochen waiting for her. Li Si quickly ran up to him and playfully clung to his strong arm. "Don’t be mad! Aren’t I back now?"

Leng Mochen gave her a cold glare. "Don’t let it happen again!"

Seeing her return safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. The wait earlier had been torturous—his heart was plagued with worry about potential mishaps.

"Alright, got it! I’m starving. Take me to eat, will you? Mochen!" Li Si immediately pretended to nod weakly, blinking her eyes like an adorable puppy.

"You! Now tell me—what did you go to Shanghai for?" Leng Mochen lightly tapped her forehead, exasperated. "So embarrassing!"

Li Si flashed him a mysterious smile. "It’s a secret! I can’t tell you now; you’ll find out on your birthday! Come on, hurry up—I’m starving! Everything was so tight and rushed, I didn’t even get to try any Shanghai snacks. Next time, you have to take me to eat some!"

"You silly girl. There’s no need to explain—I already guessed. You definitely went there to buy my birthday present!"

Li Si pulled a pained face. "Ugh! Why do you have to be so smart?"

"I can’t help it—high IQ up in the clouds!"

"Tsk!" Li Si rolled her eyes. Here he was, the classic arrogant idiot in flesh and blood—diagnosis confirmed!

...

Ye Duowei, wearing the eye-catching Patek Philippe men’s watch she found offensive, went to her aunt Tian Yaruo’s home to vent her frustrations.

In the living room, Tian Yaruo quickly wiped the corner of her tear-streaked eyes upon seeing her arrive. She pulled her niece’s hand gently and led her to sit down, smiling softly. "Weiwei, what brings you here today? I heard from your mother that you’re about to get engaged to Yin Xian, isn’t that right?"

Ye Duowei pouted. "Don’t bring that up, Auntie. Guess who I ran into while buying a fancy watch for Brother Xian in Shanghai?"

"Who?" Tian Yaruo’s heart stirred—could it be Tiantian?

"It was that Li Si from last time! She’s absolutely insufferable! Whatever I liked, she copied and snagged the purchase! What an idiot! I don’t even know where she gets her money!"

This was the part she found most baffling. She had privately investigated Li Si’s background and discovered she was just a girl without parents or family. Yet she somehow had enough money to swipe a card for a million without hesitation!

"Weiwei, did you say she bought a men’s watch too?" A jolt ran through Tian Yaruo’s heart—it truly seemed plausible she had some connection with that man named Leng.

Ye Duowei picked up a ceramic teacup and took a sip of tea. Nodding, she said, "That’s right! She even bought the 980,000-yuan one! Here, Auntie—this is the one I got for Kesong. I don’t know if he’ll like it. Is he home?"

As she spoke, she looked around while pulling out the 380,000-yuan Patek Philippe men’s watch and handed it to Tian Yaruo.

Although Tian Yaruo accepted it, she muttered aloud, "He went out to meet some classmates. Weiwei, why would you buy this? You know Kesong doesn’t lack these things. By the way, have you finalized the date for your engagement to Yin Xian? Your mother called me a few days ago saying things were moving along perfectly—engagement now, then in a year or so, a suitable time for the wedding!"

"Oh, Auntie! Kesong may have plenty of possessions, but what I buy still carries my heartfelt sentiment! Just take it—you can give it to him as a recovery gift from his big sister!"

"Alright, I’ll hand it over when he returns. Weiwei, tell me more about that girl Li Si—are you familiar with her?" Tian Yaruo placed the bag on the coffee table, held her niece’s hand, and asked earnestly. Inside, she harbored a pressing curiosity about Li Si’s recent situation.

Ever since Kesong gradually recovered, her thoughts had been tangled with the idea of finding a way to bring that child back. This way, she could not only make up for what she owed her, but also provide better prospects down the road—especially a good marriage, which was critical for young women. She just couldn’t suppress her instinctive dislike for that man named Leng!

Ye Duowei pursed her lips. "Auntie, why are you asking about her? She’s just some girl from a small family—I don’t really know her well. But one thing’s certain: she’s vain and frivolous; otherwise, why would she compete with me for everything!"

"What are you ladies chatting about? Couldn’t help overhearing from far away—who got our Weiwei so riled up?" Yan Xuefeng walked in from outside, speaking with a sly grin on his face.

"Oh, Uncle! You wouldn’t even know if I told you—it’s a girl named Li Si. I loathe her!" Ye Duowei stood up, pouting as she spoke.

Yan Xuefeng froze for a moment, a questioning look directed at his wife. Seeing her lost in thought, he sat down beside her and asked, "Yaruo, how come this name sounds so familiar? Is she someone we know?"

Tian Yaruo chuckled weakly, her heart aching with bitterness. The Weiwei she had loved since childhood actually hated her own biological daughter—what kind of cruel irony was this?

"Uncle, you’re such a busy man—how could you know someone so insignificant? She’s just from a little place—you know North City, right? That’s where she’s from!"

Yan Xuefeng suddenly slapped his thigh. "I remember now—she’s the volunteer who donated bone marrow to save Kesong! What a strange twist of fate—Weiwei, she’s Kesong’s life-saving benefactor. You can’t hate her! Let go of those little tiffs between girls! Where is she? I’ve been meaning to visit her along with your aunt to express our gratitude!"

Ye Duowei stared at him in shock, her eyes widening. "Uncle, are you mistaken? Are we even talking about the same person? Does she really seem like someone who’d donate her bone marrow? Auntie, you’ve met Li Si—you tell us! Isn’t she someone else?"

"Weiwei, it’s definitely the same person! Yan, why don’t we find some time to visit North City? If that child agrees, how about we adopt her as our goddaughter?" Tian Yaruo couldn’t suppress the idea bubbling inside her. The more she spoke, the more feasible she thought it sounded!

If they adopted Li Si as their goddaughter, it would make everything legitimate and convenient for her to bring the girl into their lives and care for her.

"Sounds good—you make the decisions on this! Yaruo, if Kesong can regain his health, I’d do anything—and this is just a small thing!" Yan Xuefeng readily agreed without a second thought.

Ye Duowei looked at the two of them, stunned by the sudden turn of events. Her heart filled with rage and reluctance. "Auntie, Uncle—you two need to think this through carefully! What if, in the future, Li Si grows greedy for your wealth and threatens Kesong’s interests?"

Seeing no change in their expressions, her frustration grew, twisting her face into fury. "And, there’s something else you don’t know—she once tried to take Yin Xian from me! Someone who can be a mistress—how could she have good character?"

Yan Xuefeng’s face showed hesitation. While adopting a goddaughter seemed harmless at first glance, poor moral character might tarnish the Yan Family’s reputation in the future. It was a concern that couldn’t simply be dismissed! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation and monthly votes.
