Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 692 - 609: If You Can’t Speak, Shut Up

"Xu Er was so moving today! Look, he even made Shasha cry and mess up her makeup!"

Leng Mochen turned his head to look at her: "You’re looking forward to something like that as well?"

Just now, the women on the scene practically went wild—some screamed, some were so moved their eyes turned red.

Do women really like this kind of thing?

Li Si’s eyes lit up as she nodded vigorously, then suddenly thought of his aversion to dancing and smirked mischievously. "Of course! But I know you—there’s no way you’d do something like this in public!"

If, one day, he ever did something like that in public, she would be 100% sure he had swapped souls.

Leng Mochen reached out and lightly patted the back of her head, then unexpectedly laughed: "Good that you understand me!"

She truly understood him!

Li Si squinted her eyes in enjoyment, laughing as she took his arm, letting him pull her along as they walked forward.

In her mind, she considered that perhaps someday, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have him perform something just for her.

But why, with the image she conjured in her head, the aloof him dancing something sexy, did it make her laugh uncontrollably?

...

At Xu Er and Bai Shasha’s wedding banquet, the luxury cars in the parking lot remained silently parked, basking in the scrutiny and whispering of passersby.

Among those gathered to gawk were two young women, flamboyantly dressed and drawing attention.

Yet, for some reason, their outfits gave off an unsettling sense of "trying too hard."

"Hey, Meiling! Quick, take a picture of me with this car!" The girl in a pink dress called loudly to the woman in red standing beside her.

Yao Meiling pursed her lips, reluctantly taking her phone yet again. Watching Li Fei, who was grinning smugly at the camera while making a peace sign, she couldn’t help but feel coming out with her today was a huge mistake!

Aside from getting a bracelet worth a few hundred yuan as a consolation prize, she had to endure Li Fei’s endless chatter and princess syndrome.

Li Fei flitted between the luxury vehicles, her excitement unabated, repeatedly asking Yao Meiling to take pictures of her.

"Hurry up! What are you spacing out about?" Noticing Yao Meiling’s absent-mindedness, Li Fei grew displeased.

If not for the fact that she had no friends in Beijing and found shopping alone unbearably dull, she wouldn’t have invited her out today!

Yao Meiling plastered on a fake smile and turned to her. "Fei’er! Why don’t we head to the birthday banquet instead? Today is Brother Mingzhe’s mom’s birthday; given your connection, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to bring me along, right?"

Today was Han Mingzhe’s mother’s birthday. Although the event was held on the quieter side, plenty of guests had shown up.

Yao Meiling was well aware of her own standing—there was no comparison between her and someone like Zheng Huanxue.

Back then, when Han Mingzhe kept her as his mistress and arranged for her to join Mo Si International Furniture, he clearly had his motives.

But now, things were different!

Zheng Huanxue and Han Mingzhe had officially broken up. Didn’t that mean her chance had come?

Sure, she knew Han Mingzhe was angry with her, but wasn’t she just as much a victim when their relationship was exposed?

That was why she had spent the past few days in Beijing humorously placating Li Fei—not because she genuinely liked her, but hoping Li Fei could help her.

After all, Li Fei’s father was Han Mingzhe’s uncle’s biological son, which technically made them real relatives!

Otherwise, Yao Meiling wouldn’t have tried so hard back then to leverage Li Fei to meet a rich and handsome man like Han Mingzhe in the first place.

Li Fei’s face darkened, her downcast eyes flashing with embarrassment and anger, though she couldn’t fully disclose the truth to Yao Meiling.

So even now, Yao Meiling remained unaware that she once had a fling with Han Mingxue!

This was precisely why, despite coming to Beijing with her parents, she hadn’t attended the birthday banquet.

In fact, she had only learned yesterday that Grandpa Han had insisted on bringing their family to Beijing because he’d fallen ill recently and had been diagnosed with a severe illness.

He intended to use this opportunity to mend fences with Grandma Han and make necessary arrangements.

Crossing her arms, Li Fei suppressed her emotions and feigned calmness as she retorted: "Meiling, don’t twist things like that! Sure, we’re technically relatives, but don’t forget—it was you who got caught by Li Si back then and exposed!

After that, because of you, my uncle broke up with such an excellent girlfriend.

Do you think I’d dare to take you to the banquet? Grandma Han would scold me like crazy! If it weren’t for the fact that we’re both from North City and I have some sense of loyalty to our friendship, do you think I’d still hang around with you?

My parents would kill me if they knew!"

Whether her reasoning was true or not, Li Fei’s words sounded so convincing that Yao Meiling found herself tongue-tied, though her heart seethed in disbelief.

She wanted to argue her case, but knowing it would be futile and only completely ruin their relationship, she held back.

Since Li Si had been mentioned, an idea struck Yao Meiling. Looking at Li Fei, she couldn’t resist the urge to make her uncomfortable.

Pretending to be empathetic, she said, "Fei’er! Honestly, I feel bad for you! Compared to you, Li Si isn’t better in any way, yet she got so lucky and found herself a rich guy!

With your family’s current ties to the Han Family, why not stay in Beijing for good? Surely, you won’t have trouble finding a wealthy husband!"

Li Fei’s expression instantly hardened into a stony mask as she clutched the hem of her dress tightly, suppressing the urge to explode, and snarled: "Yao Meiling! If you don’t have anything nice to say, just shut up!"

Of course, she wanted to stay in Beijing! But was relying on the Han Family to snag a wealthy husband even a possibility?

Leaving aside other complications, her past with Han Mingxue already made everything too tangled to bear.

If it hadn’t been for Han Mingzhe’s sudden visit to North City to see Grandpa Han and a chance meeting with Li Fei, where they bonded over discussing Li Si, she might not have had the courage to come back to Beijing at all.

The shouting had begun to attract the onlookers gathered initially for the luxury cars, and now several pairs of curious eyes turned to them.

Yao Meiling, stunned by Li Fei’s outburst, was briefly at a loss. What she had said wasn’t wrong, was it? Given Li Fei’s family’s current connection to the Han Family, wasn’t staying in Beijing a great opportunity?

But when she glanced at the contemptuous and dismissive expressions of the surrounding crowd, her patience, already stretched thin, finally snapped, and her voice rose as well: "Li Fei! You’re taking this too far!"

She had her limits! In the end, wasn’t she catering to Li Fei not because of Li Fei herself but because of the Han Family and Han Mingzhe behind her?

...

Li Si, who had just approached the parking lot, stopped to watch the lively scene of people enthusiastically taking pictures with the luxury cars under the blazing sun. She smiled kindly as if reminiscing. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Once upon a time, she had done the exact same thing!

Leng Mochen ruffled her hair as though understanding her thoughts. "Let’s go!"

The two exchanged smiles and walked past the crowd, heading toward their car.

Today, the car they had driven out was a Rolls-Royce 101EX.
