Chapter 147 - 144 Tian Yaru Gets Slapped in the Face
Thinking of this, Tian Yaru secretly glared at Li Si, then plastered a smile back onto her face and said to Mrs. Leng, "Sorry, I originally wanted to joke around. It was thoughtless of me—so rude! Speaking of which, isn’t it such a coincidence? Li Si has acknowledged my sister as her godmother, so it seems we’ve got some family ties now. We should definitely keep in touch more often in the future!"
Mrs. Leng maintained a calm expression, but her heart was already boiling with rage. If she hadn’t overheard those comments spoken behind her back, she might have been caught off guard and conversed casually with them. Looking at Tian Yaru’s current smile, Mrs. Leng found it full of hidden intentions—such a two-faced and malicious woman.
"Li Si acknowledging a godmother is entirely her personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the Leng Family. Besides, it’s far from what we’d call family ties. Mrs. Ye, I recommend you watch your words."
Mrs. Leng’s heart was filled with scorn. How naïve this woman must be, thinking she could use something like this to latch onto their family. Back then, agreeing to the arrangement was only out of consideration for Mr. Yan Sr. Who were these people really? To dare gossip about her son and herself behind their backs—Mrs. Leng felt that not storming out immediately was already showing restraint.
Tian Yaru couldn’t bear Mrs. Leng’s cold demeanor any longer and seized a convenient excuse to leave with Ye Duowei. As they exited, she didn’t forget to cast a hateful glare at Li Si.
Li Si looked at Mrs. Leng in awe and admiration. Today, Mrs. Leng had been unstoppable—slapping faces left and right, resoundingly. It was so satisfying.
Mrs. Leng noticed her gaze and shook her head, amused. "What, are you thinking I’m being a bit merciless?"
"Not at all! In fact, I admire you! To deal with people like that, you need to use appropriate methods!" Li Si quickly shook her head. "Besides, I wouldn’t want my acknowledgment of a godparent to cause trouble for you or the family!"
She was speaking from the heart. Though her decision to acknowledge the godparent had been somewhat forced at the time, she didn’t want that to become an excuse for the Tian Family or Ye Family to exploit and use it as leverage to climb closer to the Leng Family.
Mrs. Leng nodded inwardly. When Li Si said those words, her eyes were clear—Mrs. Leng trusted her sincerity.
