Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 674 - 591: Talk Less, Do More

Xu Er, following the principle of money already being in his pocket, figured that Long Wu could say whatever he wanted—after all, he wouldn’t lose a piece of flesh over it.

No one had been drinking; they were genuinely hungry. After fooling around for a while, they began to elegantly eat the barbecued meat in front of them while chatting.

In the middle of the meal, Li Si felt like going to the restroom. Su Meng, sitting beside her, noticed her get up and asked softly, "Sisi, where are you going?"

"To the restroom! You coming?" Li Si glanced at Leng Ning, signaling the question with her eyes.

Both Su Meng and Leng Ning shook their heads.

Leng Mochen, sitting nearby, affectionately patted Li Si’s lower back and said, "Need me to go with you?"

Li Si turned back and glared at him: "..."

This guy! She could already imagine what would await her when she went home tonight.

That fiery glare meant something entirely different to Leng Mochen, who secretly relished the moment.

Long Wu and Xu Er leisurely watched the scene unfold, exchanging glances. As soon as Li Si had pulled open the door to leave, Long Wu clicked his tongue and said, "Oh my! Leng Er, you and Sisi are always so lovey-dovey—you’re making everyone else jealous! Care to share some tips?"

Leng Mochen coughed lightly, casting a faint glance at him. "Want to know?"

Long Wu shrugged smugly. "Hmm? Spill it; I’m all ears!"

He parted his thin lips and calmly uttered four words: "Talk less, do more!"

Fewer words, more actions—actions that would touch her heart.

Could it really be that simple?

"Pfft!" Xu Er spat out his water directly. What kind of tip was that? Upon closer thought, wasn’t it a bit suggestive?

Leng Ning didn’t understand why her brother could only spare four words, nor could she figure out why Xu Er reacted so dramatically. Feeling perplexed, she glanced around quietly and asked, "Is something wrong with what he said?"

Xu Er coughed uncontrollably, waving his hand with a grin. "Nothing! Cough, cough...nothing!"

"Haha! Leng Er, you’re really something!" To say such suggestive words with a straight face—well, that was impressive!

Long Wu’s sleazy laughter echoed shamelessly around the private room, earning him a fierce glare from Su Meng. He immediately quieted down. "Ahem, enough about that; let’s eat! Eat meat!"

For the love of God, why did he feel so bitter about this? Meat! Meat, dammit! When could he finally eat some meat?

"Long Wensong!" Su Meng couldn’t hold back anymore—even the previously clueless Leng Ning was now blushing. This man was utterly hopeless!

Su Meng’s gaze was sharp as knives, and Long Wu tragically realized he had made another misstep. He genuinely meant it when he said "eat meat"! Why didn’t anyone believe him?

Li Si, oblivious to the near-meat-related catastrophe that unfolded after her departure, stepped out of the private room. The corridor windows were open, allowing a refreshing breeze to brush against her skin—it felt wonderful.

She asked a passing server and learned that the restroom was located at the end of the hallway around the corner.

Li Si strolled leisurely, as this was her first time visiting the restaurant.

The dining environment and food were decent. Along the way, she crossed paths with a male diner, who brushed past her.

She wasn’t sure if it was intentional or not, but he gave her an extra glance or two, leaving Li Si rather speechless.

She wasn’t acquainted with that guy, right?

Fortunately, she quickly reached the vicinity of the restroom. She turned back to glance, but the man had already vanished.

Li Si shook her head, not paying it too much attention.

After washing up at the sink outside the restroom on the glossy black marble surface, she bent down. The icy water flowing against her fair hands refreshed and invigorated her.

She looked up at her reflection in the mirror, smiling slightly. Almost instinctually, she adjusted her hair before turning to leave.

At that moment, a cleaning woman wearing a blue hat, a white mask, and a uniform pushed a cleaning cart into the restroom. The cart was stacked with various cleaning supplies.

Li Si politely moved aside to make way, gesturing for the woman to go first.

However, the cleaning woman stood motionless, her eyes wide with shock and filled with delight as she exclaimed, "Li Si!"

She could hardly believe it—meeting her here!

Li Si found the muffled voice familiar and stared curiously at her. The cleaning woman hurriedly removed her hat and mask, revealing herself—she was none other than Li Guozhi, Li Si’s aunt!

Li Guozhi, seeing that Li Si had recognized her, felt a wave of sorrow rise in her heart. Mixed emotions overwhelmed her. She hadn’t expected this child to grow more beautiful with time. Glancing at Li Si’s elegant attire only underscored her refined presence.

If it weren’t for all that happened in the past, would her niece still have turned her back on her aunt’s struggles? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"You work here?" Li Si asked coldly, her tone devoid of Li Guozhi’s enthusiasm.

She was a bit surprised because the last time she remembered, Li Guozhi was working at a supermarket, stocking shelves and selling milk.

Why was she now doing cleaning work at a restaurant? From what Li Si knew, such jobs didn’t pay much and were physically exhausting.

Li Guozhi instinctively rubbed her hands together, offering an embarrassed smile and nodding. "It’s been a while since I started! Li Si, when did you come back?"

Li Si observed her demeanor, noticing how drastically she had changed.

Li Guozhi used to be in a rough spot, but at least she hadn’t looked as disheveled as she did now. Her hair was unkempt and graying, her figure gaunt.

Her work uniform, stained and oversized, hung on her thin frame, making her look even frailer.

What had she been through? Even though Wu Dachuan was stingy and petty, he wouldn’t have pushed Li Guozhi into such a dire state, would he?

She seemed to have aged multiple years. If Li Guozhi hadn’t been the one to recognize her first, Li Si wouldn’t have thought this was her aunt at all.

Still, remembering what they had done together in the past hardened Li Si. Pitiful people often had pathetic reasons for their suffering.

She wouldn’t let herself play the saint again or be too accommodating.

"I’m here for a friend’s wedding," Li Si replied coldly.

An awkward silence lingered in the air between them. Li Si wanted to leave, but Li Guozhi seemed eager to catch up.

Her eyes glistened with tears as she rubbed her stinging nose, asking with concern, "Did you come back alone? Your grandma’s been talking about you lately!"

The elderly woman had come to terms with things now, living a modest yet pleasant life. She had her monthly income, rented out farmland, played mahjong, and visited neighbors—it wasn’t so bad.

If it weren’t for being dragged into all this herself...

"Is that so?" Li Si’s impatience was palpable. "Well, I’ll be heading out then!"

Li Si distanced herself from their plight—it had nothing to do with her.

Li Guozhi looked pitiful, yet Li Si simply didn’t know how to face her. The past was unforgivable, unforgettable.

"Your kid must be grown by now?" Li Guozhi went on awkwardly, scraping for conversation to keep Li Si from leaving.

Li Si crossed her arms, sneering coldly. "Just say what you mean! What’s the point in beating around the bush?"

Grandma Li sent money monthly as usual, and if there was anything urgent, her lawyer would inform them.

So it clearly wasn’t about Grandma Li—then what was this about?

Li Si had a hunch it was related to Li Guozhi’s current predicament!
