Chapter 169 - 166: Sowing Discord
But upon closer inspection, Mrs. Leng realized something was wrong. The boy’s face was flushed, and his eyes were tightly shut.
Could it be...
"Brother Yin and I are just friends! Li Si, I didn’t expect you to be in Beijing too. Mr. Leng, nice to meet you! This must be Auntie, right? Hello, Auntie! Alright, Brother Yin is drunk. I’ll take him away first. We can chat another time!"
Zhou Rou tried to step past Li Si to enter the elevator, but Li Si blocked her with an outstretched hand. "There’s nothing for us to talk about. But you, you’re not leaving yet, no matter what you’re scheming!"
Mrs. Leng shared the same sentiment. "Mochen, help her bring the boy over!"
Without a word, Leng Mochen stepped forward to assist Li Si. No matter how capable Zhou Rou was, she couldn’t overpower two people. Reluctantly, she handed Yin Xian over, forcing a smile. "Li Si, what are you doing? I heard you and Mr. Leng are together now, yet you’re still so concerned about Brother Yin. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?" After speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Mrs. Leng.
Li Si’s heart sank. Zhou Rou’s words—if overheard by others—would surely lead to misunderstandings.
But when she glanced at Mrs. Leng, her expression remained calm despite overhearing the conversation.
At that moment, Mrs. Leng felt there was something suspicious about this woman. Although her words were unsettling, Mrs. Leng chose to ignore them and sternly questioned, "Who are you? What’s wrong with him?"
Zhou Rou hadn’t expected her attempt at sowing discord to backfire into an interrogation. "Brother Yin just drank too much. I was just trying to help by sending him back. Since you know him, I’ll leave him to you. Li Si, we’ll talk another time!"
