Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 91 - 88: Rumor Post

After Bai Shasha’s engagement banquet, Li Si and her friends also welcomed the start of the school year. Aside from her constant conflicts with Kong Dan in the dormitory, life as a junior was still quite enjoyable.

Since Bai Shasha and Cao Yufan got engaged, the two were often inseparably sweet together. Li Si wisely gave them space at the right times, so she had recently been spending more time with Jiang Fan, and the two had been getting along increasingly well.

That day, the two had just packed their bags and walked out of the library after studying, only to see Bai Shasha running toward them, panic written all over her face, gasping for breath as she tried to speak.

"What’s wrong, Shasha? Don’t rush, take your time to explain!" Li Si helped her regulate her breathing. What was wrong with her, running so hard that sweat covered her forehead, making a chunk of her hair wet?

With urgency still written all over her face, Bai Shasha caught her breath. "How can I not be anxious? Listen, Si, who did you offend? A post on the school’s forum has photos of you and your brother, along with a lot of malicious comments. Everyone’s saying you’re being kept by a sugar daddy**! I just found out—it’s been circulating for two days already!"

"This is outright slander! You all have to believe me!" Li Si was furious. How could anyone deduce something like that from just a photo?

"Of course, we believe you! But it’s better if we head back to check it out now!"

The three hurried back to Room 302 in the dorm, opened a computer, and logged into the school forum. The post was already pinned at the top.

Li Si quickly clicked on it. The photos appeared to have been secretly taken. The two of them were sitting across from each other, eating. Only Brother Leng’s back was visible as he lovingly tapped her nose with his finger while she smiled brightly. The venue seemed to be the Korean restaurant she went to with Leng Mochen a few days ago.

Looking at the text content above, it was no wonder Shasha was so anxious—with phrases like shameless, clinging to sugar daddies, demanding the school administration take disciplinary action and expel her! Some of the comments below were outright aggressive, making Li Si furrow her brows. Who was it? Who hated her so much?

The person behind this was clearly someone who knew everything about her! But the people aware of her relationship with Brother Leng and who might hold a grudge against her were limited to Zhou Rou and Zhang Meihua. So, which one of them did it?

Just then, someone entered the dorm—a humming Kong Dan carrying her lunchbox.

Kong Dan deliberately glanced at Li Si’s computer screen and then smirked smugly. "Oh ho, looks like you’ve been exposed so quickly, huh?"

"What do you mean?" Li Si asked angrily. Ever since the semester began, Kong Dan had been passive-aggressively picking fights and creating trouble for no reason.

"What else could I mean? It’s a simple case of actions having consequences. You’ve been caught red-handed, haven’t you? Now everyone at school knows exactly who you are, sparing some people from being fooled by your pretense! Stop pretending already."

Kong Dan felt immense satisfaction. Whenever she recalled the slap Li Si gave her, it made her grit her teeth with hatred. Today, someone had finally stepped in. If only she knew who it was, she’d thank them properly.

"What’s wrong with you! What did I even do? What’s the reason for you going to such lengths to attack me? Don’t tell me you’re the one who posted it?" Li Si couldn’t help but suspect Kong Dan since her recent behavior raised suspicions.

However, upon second thought, Li Si felt it unlikely to be Kong Dan. If she were behind it, she’d probably keep quiet and not openly antagonize her like this!

"That’s right, fess up! Was it you? We share a dorm, yet you act like this—someone so rotten and backstabbing isn’t going to end up well!" Bai Shasha was furious, angrily pointing at Kong Dan and cursing.

Jiang Fan calmly grabbed Bai Shasha’s arm, "Alright, calm down first. Li Si, let’s go talk outside."

From the moment Kong Dan arrived, Jiang Fan had been closely observing her. The person who posted the thread probably wasn’t her; otherwise, she wouldn’t display her involvement so blatantly.

Bai Shasha snorted coldly and followed them out of the dorm.

At a school café, Jiang Fan analyzed the situation. The culprit must be someone familiar with Li Si and someone she had significant conflicts with.

"Eliminating Kong Dan from suspicion, Zhou Rou or my relatives might seem suspicious! Other than that, I can’t think of anyone else I’ve had any major disagreements with," Li Si scratched her head, frustrated. Who was ambushing her from the shadows?

Bai Shasha’s eyes lit up as she came up with an idea. "I’ll ask Cao Yufan to check the IP address of the post. Maybe we can find some clues!"

"That’s a good idea. Also, we should try to get the post deleted as soon as possible. Otherwise, the teachers will definitely summon you for a talk since this is causing such a stir!" Jiang Fan spoke methodically, and Li Si nodded in agreement. It seemed she needed to call in reinforcements too.

The only person Li Si could think of for help was none other than Leng Mochen.

At Mo Si Company, Jiang Feng was reporting the investigation results.

Leng Mochen remained silent for a long time, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk, emitting a rhythmic thudding sound.

"So, your findings suggest that Li Si’s mother got remarried and even has children now?"

"That’s correct. I learned this from an old neighbor of hers during investigations. However, we still haven’t determined her current whereabouts."

Jiang Feng had gone to Tian Yaruo’s hometown, Hebei Langfang, and, after some effort, found a longtime neighbor of hers who confirmed hearing of Tian Yaruo’s remarriage and child, though specific details were unclear.

"Keep investigating, but be cautious not to alert the other side!" Leng Mochen needed to think about whether or not to share these developments with Li Si.

"Understood, Mr. Leng!" After Jiang Feng left, Leng Mochen stared out the window for a long time, deep in thought, without turning around. When Li Si rushed into the office, she couldn’t find him there.

Hearing of Li Si’s arrival, Du Xue came in through the door, her face adorned with a standard smile. "Miss Li, are you looking for Mr. Leng?"

"Ah! Yes, just a bit of business! Where’s my brother?" Li Si picked up her pink cup and took a sip of water to soothe her parched throat.

"Mr. Leng is currently in a meeting with department heads. Miss Li, if your matter is urgent, feel free to tell me; I can relay the message for you!" Du Xue maintained her warm and sisterly demeanor, though a trace of coldness flickered in her eyes. Li Si, preoccupied with her urgency, failed to catch it.

"Oh! It’s not that big of a deal. I’ll wait till he finishes the meeting to talk to him!" She suddenly recalled some gossip she overheard recently and instinctively chose not to involve her. Secretary Du’s rumored infatuation with Leng Mochen—could it be true?

"Very well! Miss Li, I’ll be right outside; let me know if you need anything." Li Si nodded, and Du Xue gracefully stepped out of the room.

Li Si ended up waiting for hours. At first, she played mobile games to pass the time. Eventually, she lay down on the spacious leather sofa and fell asleep.

When Leng Mochen finally finished the meeting and entered his office, he was greeted by the sight of Li Si sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Her fair little face, long lashes shielding her bright eyes, a dainty nose, and rosy lips—Leng Mochen instinctively softened his steps and crouched beside her.
