CHAPTER 590: CHAPTER 507: WHO EXACTLY IS EMPLOYED BY?

And judging by the photo, Zeng Qiuping seems to be angry about something.

Could it be that Zeng Qiuping had a hand in the incident where Buding was nearly kidnapped?

But then, he shook his head at the thought—Zeng Qiuping’s behavior at the wedding hadn’t seemed unusual.

Nevertheless, Zeng Qiuping undoubtedly resents him, so it’s not impossible he wants revenge.

Nie Xiuwei appearing with Qin Xin at his wedding was indeed suspicious.

At the time, he also thought that the kidnapping was orchestrated by someone Nie Xiuwei sent.

But looking back now, Nie Xiuwei had just returned to the country at that point. Even if Qin Xin had some connections, planting an insider like Xiao Tong in advance would’ve taken considerable effort.

So then, the man with the scar near his eye—who hired him?

Leng Mochen picked up a pen and wrote on the white paper: Zeng Qiuping—the man in the photo.

What’s the connection between these two?

He sent the photo to Heizi and also arranged for his people to immediately investigate Zeng Qiuping’s recent activities and the man in the photo.

As long as they find that man, perhaps all the questions will be resolved.

As for Li Si running into Yin Xian and Yin Qi today, he wasn’t surprised. Beijing may be a big city, but chances of such encounters happening are still pretty high.

But then, Leng Mochen suddenly froze, as a name he’d almost overlooked flashed in his mind—Yin Qi’s ex-husband, Han Mingzhe!

Ever since his scandalous video with Qian Rouxuan surfaced, this man had vanished without a trace.

After that incident, with his reputation in ruins and his marriage shattered, could he have no thoughts of retaliation?

Leng Mochen didn’t believe that for a second!

As for that matter back then—with Qian Rouxuan and Leng Mohao both ending up in jail—the ultimate beneficiary was anyone’s guess. It wasn’t hard to infer that the entire affair was tied to him!

They’d all been distracted by Nie Xiuwei’s sudden appearance.

So, Han Mingzhe could also very well have been acting out of revenge.

After piecing this together, Leng Mochen made another phone call.

By the next day, Li Si went to pick up Bai Shasha to visit Su Meng.

She had already called her earlier and knew she had moved into a postpartum care center.

On the way there, Bai Shasha nervously touched her chin. "Si, you’ve got to keep an eye on me when we’re there. Don’t let me accidentally say the wrong thing."

What worried her the most was her own mouth, which couldn’t hold anything back.

Li Si smiled and tapped her forehead. "You’re actually aware of it! Not bad, knowing your own shortcomings."

When the two arrived at the postpartum care center and entered Su Meng’s suite, it wasn’t just Nanny Su and the nurse there—Su Meng’s aunt and that woman named Hu Li were also present.

They sat in the living room on the sofa, chatting indifferently. The baby was sound asleep in the crib.

"You two are here!" Nanny Su got up with a smile to greet them.

Li Si noticed her complexion looked a bit weary, with heavy dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that no matter how comfortable the environment and good the service, her worries had made it hard to rest properly.

"Auntie! It’s only been two days, and this baby’s grown so much already!" Li Si leaned closer to look at the baby. The skin, no longer as red as it was at birth, had turned fairer.

The baby’s faint eyebrows, long eyelashes over closed eyes, and little mouth moving as if nursing even in a dream—it was adorable.

"Yes! This baby changes by the day! Come, you two sit down and chat! Meng Meng is in the room talking to Wensong!"

Following her lead, Li Si and Bai Shasha sat down. Thinking they’d let the couple finish their private conversation, they decided to wait a bit before going in.

Su Meng’s aunt grinned ingratiatingly and asked, "You two are Meng Meng’s close friends, right? We saw each other at the wedding. Just look at these two lovely young ladies—so beautiful!"

Hu Li pursed her lips without saying a word but kept scanning Li Si up and down, her gaze betraying jealousy.

Li Si had an impression that compared to before, Hu Li now exuded a mature allure, no longer resembling a young girl at all.

Not feeling there was anything to discuss, Li Si merely offered a faint smile.

Bai Shasha had a particularly bad impression of both Hu Li and Su Meng’s aunt, so she didn’t bother engaging either.

Both instead made small talk with Nanny Su. Bai Shasha tried her best not to mention Su Meng’s mother-in-law, while Li Si carefully chose neutral topics.

Their aim was to say things that would ease Nanny Su’s mind.

Su Meng’s aunt tried several times to chime in, lavishly praising Nanny Su’s good fortune, but Nanny Su responded with cool politeness, effectively sidelining her.

Before long, Long Wu must have heard the voices coming from the room.

He stepped out and, seeing Li Si and Bai Shasha, greeted them warmly: "Sisi, Shasha, you’re finally here! Quick, go in the room and have a chat. Meng Meng’s been missing you two!"

"Brother Wu, where are you off to?" Li Si noticed he seemed to be heading out.

"Got something to handle. I’ll be back in a bit! You two take good care of Meng Meng!"

"Alright!" Li Si and Bai Shasha filed into the room one after the other.

Long Wu then turned to Nanny Su and said, "Mom! I’m going out for a little while. Why don’t you take a break in the next room and get some proper rest?"

He could see his mother-in-law was not only exhausted but also weighed down by unresolved concerns. Silently, he sighed to himself in resignation.

As for Su Meng’s aunt and Hu Li, who stood awkwardly nearby, he completely ignored them.

"Sure, Wensong! Don’t worry, go ahead with your work!" Nanny Su responded warmly with a smile.

No matter what, this son-in-law was flawless in his treatment of her daughter. She wouldn’t let her issues with Mrs. Long affect her attitude toward Long Wu.

After all, the one her daughter would ultimately spend her life with was him.

Su Meng’s aunt felt a bit embarrassed. She had come this time, under the pretense of Su Meng giving birth, to try to mend fences. She had previously misjudged things and admitted now that she’d been in the wrong.

Hu Li’s eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, as if scheming something in her mind.

Meanwhile, Su Meng lay on the bed, looking much better than she did right after delivery. Her hair was tied up into a loose, relaxed bun, and a serene smile graced her face.

"You two are here! I just heard a piece of great news!" she said teasingly, winking flirtatiously at Bai Shasha.

Xu Er had called her that very day, and when Long Wu heard about it, he couldn’t help but complain. Who would’ve thought Xu Er’s second attempt would succeed after the first one failed?

Now, all they had to do was wait for the wedding banquet.

Bai Shasha shyly stuck out her tongue. "That’s why I’m here to learn from you!"

Li Si placed her bag on the cabinet and walked closer to Su Meng with concern. "How’s your recovery coming along? Has the milk come in?"

Su Meng smiled and said, "Much better! The baby fed on colostrum yesterday. My milk supply is still a bit low for now, but it should increase in the coming days!"

At first, she had been worried, fearing the baby wouldn’t have enough to eat. The pain from her wound made her anxious and irritable, but things had improved significantly now.

Li Si sat on the chair near her bed and said gently, "It’ll get better soon! In the meantime, let Shasha learn from you about Xu Er’s proposal!

His attempts are getting more and more extravagant!"

From the car trunk setup to the rock climbing, Xu Er consistently took the unconventional route.

Bai Shasha blushed and gave Li Si a playful shove. "What extravagance? I didn’t think so!"

In the heat of the moment back then, she’d acted impulsively. Looking back now, it still felt surreal.

Li Si couldn’t help but tease her. "Wow, your standards for romance are pretty high! Who was it that told me the cliff-side proposal was so magical that they felt like they were in a movie?"

"Ah, stop it! You’re unbelievable!" Bai Shasha, flustered, reached out and pretended to tickle Li Si.
