Chapter 132: Chapter 129: Fated to Meet from Thousands of Miles Away

Tian Yaruo stood aside, biting her lip tightly, trying to hold back the words that almost escaped her mouth. Her mind was in turmoil—Tiantian actually ended up with that man surnamed Leng! She couldn’t accept it. They were so many years apart, and Tiantian could clearly find someone younger and more qualified! But would Tiantian listen to her advice?

Yan Xuefeng laughed heartily, "I see now. So that Mr. Leng from last time is your son? Truly a fine young man. The two of them together—what a perfect match of talent and beauty!"

Mrs. Leng was delighted to hear this and found an opening to converse. "You’ve met Mochen before?"

"Yes! A while ago, he accompanied this child to Beijing for the donation. At the time, I thought they made a great pair, but I didn’t feel it was appropriate to ask!"

Mrs. Leng asked with a trace of doubt, "When was this?" Mochen had even gone to Beijing without returning home. It truly made her heart feel cold!

Li Si sensed the shift in her mood and quickly spoke up, "Auntie, please don’t be upset! The situation was a bit complicated at the time. My elder brother originally intended to visit home, but something came up at the company, so he had to rush back!"

Tian Yaruo chimed in as well, "That’s right! When we wanted to thank Li Si the next day, they’d already returned to North City! If it wasn’t urgent, why would they leave so hastily?" Even though she was dissatisfied, for the sake of her daughter’s future happiness, she had no choice but to force herself to help with the explanation.

"Exactly! I even told my wife that someone who had shown kindness to our Yan Family didn’t even stay for a thank-you meal before leaving! Actually, during this visit, my wife wants to recognize Li Si as her goddaughter. Since you’re her elder, and you’re here today, you can also witness it!"

Yan Xuefeng seized the moment to reveal the true purpose of this visit.

Li Si looked at Tian Yaruo across from her with surprise. What was this all about? Post-event compensation? A guilty conscience?

"I don’t think that’s necessary, right? Li Si, what do you think?" Mrs. Leng disliked messy interpersonal relationships. She thought that since Li Si had no family, even if she married her son in the future, there wouldn’t be as much hassle. Simple people were better!

This was why prominent families often didn’t marry into small, humble households. Apart from considering other benefits, they wanted to avoid the unseemly relatives that might result. She had firsthand experience with such issues, which was why when she first met Li Si, her feelings weren’t entirely warm.

"I share the same opinion! Although I donated, it wasn’t anything major! Recognizing me as a goddaughter is unnecessary—I can’t accept it!"

Li Si thought it was laughable. A mother recognizing her biological daughter as a goddaughter—was this a way to officially become a "mom"? What a clever move. Was she thinking that in the future, if Kesong had any issues, Li Si could conveniently serve as a walking blood bank?

You couldn’t blame her for such dark thoughts; the Tian Family’s actions had always made her disdain them. The ugly behavior of Tian Yaru still lingered vividly in her mind.

After these words were spoken, Yan Xuefeng only felt slight regret, while Tian Yaruo’s face turned pale, showing traces of hurt in her eyes. But with others present, she couldn’t say much.

Thinking for a moment, she said, "Li Si, you can think it over again. There’s no rush—we don’t need an immediate answer. I’ll be staying for a few days in North City!"

"Exactly! Li Si, even though our Yan Family in Beijing isn’t extremely wealthy or powerful, we are at least reputable. If we recognize you, you can live in Beijing—it’s certainly better than being here. Mrs. Leng, why don’t we have a meal together? We can chat more about this matter," Yan Xuefeng encouraged, seeing how determined his wife was on this.

Mrs. Leng mulled over his words, calculating inwardly. "So, you’re surnamed Yan—what is Yan Jinzhi to you?"

"He’s my father. Do you know him?" Yan Xuefeng asked curiously, studying Mrs. Leng carefully as he found her somewhat familiar.

Mrs. Leng smiled warmly, "My husband’s father is Leng Fang!"

Yan Xuefeng stood up excitedly, "Well, isn’t this quite fortuitous! So it’s Elder Leng. My father often speaks fondly of the past and misses those times dearly! You can’t decline this now! Elder Leng’s future granddaughter-in-law saved our Yan Family’s grandson! With this connection, we’re set on this goddaughter!"

Tian Yaruo looked on in shock at the two enthusiastic individuals. "It really is quite a coincidence!" At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease. At least that man surnamed Leng wasn’t lacking in credentials, and his age difference no longer seemed like such a big issue.

"Exactly! That’s what they call a destined meeting from thousands of miles away! Li Si, what do you think—you wouldn’t refuse now, would you?" Yan Xuefeng said with a big smile. Such a golden opportunity couldn’t be missed! Even though Leng Family and Yan Family were in different industries, when had businessmen ever refused mutually beneficial partnerships?

Li Si stood stunned on the spot. How small the world could be, for everything to intertwine like this.

Mrs. Leng patted Li Si’s shoulder and persuaded with a cheerful smile, "Li Si, you don’t know, Yan Jinzhi and Mochen’s grandfather were old acquaintances. Why don’t we recognize this bond and become god-relatives?" Although the words were posed as a question, the implication was clear—she already agreed.

Mrs. Leng’s agreement stemmed not just from seeing the abundant benefits of recognizing the Yan Family, but also from the thought that once Li Si went to Beijing, her son would surely follow. Hence, she strongly pushed for this. Moreover, the way she phrased it—anyone with a little sense wouldn’t dare refuse.

Li Si felt stuck in an impossible position, helplessly forcing a smile. At this point, there was no escaping it! In this situation, did she really have to embarrass them? That wasn’t an option.

Feigning a polite smile, she said, "Alright, why not?"

Her heart was in turmoil, torn between wanting to refuse and seeing Tian Yaruo’s excited expression. She figured—fine, since they wanted to compensate, let them do so. If they had any ulterior plans, she wouldn’t make it easy for them! Better not to stir conflict now and ruin the mood.

Other than Li Si, everyone present was overjoyed. The atmosphere turned harmonious, and the conversation flowed pleasantly.

Suddenly, Yan Xuefeng thought of something. "Mrs. Leng, what is Leng Mohao’s relation to you within Leng Family?"

Mrs. Leng’s face stiffened, her tone tinged with displeasure. "He’s the child of my husband’s elder brother. He’s just temporarily managing the company! If it weren’t for Mochen’s car accident a few years back, it wouldn’t be his turn now!"

Yan Xuefeng chuckled, "Oh, no wonder! Young Master Leng is so promising—surely he’ll grow into a true asset over time!"

Tian Yaruo had a different focus, "I met your son. He’s quite handsome, although he seemed a bit thin. Is his health improving well?"

"He’s recovering very well—perhaps it’s the nourishment of love that’s keeping him fit and healthy! Li Si, this is all thanks to you. When he came to North City, wasn’t it for you?" Mrs. Leng warmly pulled Li Si’s hand into hers, her eyes brimming with joy.

Now, certain things fell into place. No wonder her son insisted on coming to North City. If it wasn’t for someone special, why would he choose this place out of all of China?

Li Si felt undeserving of the praise. If anyone had been taking care of her, it was mostly Mochen caring for her. "Auntie, you flatter me too much! His good health is really due to his strong foundation and your excellent care of him when he was young!"

Mrs. Leng received the compliment with satisfaction, her face lighting up with joy. "You’re such a sweet child! Today your words are flowing so effortlessly—yesterday you still seemed a little shy! Keep this up; Auntie likes it! How about we find a North City specialty restaurant and continue chatting over a meal?"

Yan Xuefeng and Tian Yaruo eagerly agreed. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes, monthly votes—your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
