Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 715 - 632: Having Second Thoughts (Part 2)

Chapter 715: Chapter 632: Having Second Thoughts (Part 2)

Li Si’s heart stirred. She had been thinking earlier about sponsoring hope primary schools and pondering over which organization to choose or whom to trust.

If she had to handle everything herself, it would certainly be impossible.

Capability was one thing, but her energy was limited.

More importantly, she didn’t want this matter to go through Leng Mochen’s hands. After the misunderstandings and cold war from the past period, she had gained a clearer understanding of their relationship. If she kept fretting and hesitating like this, neither of them would truly feel happy or at ease.

The journey of life was long; in the days to come, who could guarantee that misunderstandings of one kind or another wouldn’t happen again?

Therefore, Li Si had become more certain that while the two loved each other, she also needed to leave herself some breathing room and space.

She couldn’t rely on him for everything. She had to learn to be independent and self-reliant.

Over these past few years, whether it was Mo Si or Simeng, even though nominally they were her businesses, how many things had she actually gotten involved in?

Thanks to him taking care of everything, she hadn’t had to worry about anything.

But now, she didn’t think that way anymore.

If earlier she thought "having him take care of everything" was a sweet gesture, then over time, it might become a burden!

As time passed and love turned into familial affection, where would mutual respect and admiration come from?

So, she decided to focus on things she liked doing—to shine her light and radiate her warmth—but absolutely without letting Leng Mochen interfere.

It was truly a boon received at the right time; as she pondered over whom to approach regarding this matter, Jin Jiachao appeared in her line of sight.

Speaking of which, Jin Jiachao was undoubtedly the best candidate. Whether it was his character or virtues, there was no question—he was someone absolutely trustworthy.

However, seeing Jin Jiachao smiling nonchalantly and claiming everything was fine, she could tell that, deep down, he was certainly anxious. After all, Su Ting was Su Ye’s only brother, and it was only natural for him to worry about the situation.

So, Li Si suppressed her intentions and didn’t continue this topic.

Instead, she skillfully brought up Buding, and the conversation flowed pleasantly.

After Jin Jiachao and Li Si finished their meal and bid their goodbyes, Li Si suddenly thought of Su Meng and hurriedly made a phone call.

Fortunately, the call went through this time.

Over the phone, Su Meng was still evidently upset. She bitterly launched into a tirade against Li Si, starting with discovering the photo of Long Wu and that woman, followed by how she attacked Long Wu.

Li Si was so shocked she couldn’t close her mouth for the better part of a minute. Was this still the Su Meng she knew?

The two agreed on a time to meet later in the evening before hanging up the call.

Meanwhile, in Leng Mochen’s office, a dejected man was sitting on the guest sofa like an incarnation of Xianglin’s Wife, nagging incessantly at Leng Mochen, who—in irritation—was half-heartedly flipping through documents.

"Leng Er! Look at the injury on my face! If I don’t cover it with a mask, your company’s female employees will gossip endlessly!"

Leng Mochen rubbed his temple, which was starting to ache with all the ruckus he was causing. "Get to the point! What are you even here for? I don’t have that American time to listen to your pointless rambling!"

Long Wu suddenly became coy and stood up. "Well, isn’t it because Xu Er mentioned you ran into Yin Rui last night? I figured we’d definitely meet up soon over the next few days. But look at me—how can I show up looking like this?

Anyone can tell at a glance that this was done by a woman!"

"I remember your Sisi’s shop has some kind of cream that fades scars overnight! Can you help me get some? You know that if I directly asked Li Si, she wouldn’t give it to me—no way!"

He was well aware that since he hadn’t shown up last night, Leng Er, given his nature, would definitely tell her the whole story.

If he showed up to ask Li Si for help now, he’d undoubtedly be mocked thoroughly.

Leng Mochen shook his head with a helpless smile. "You still feel shame?"

Why didn’t you think about that earlier?

Long Wu, feeling he had lost face, raised his voice. "Er! I’ve never asked you for anything all these years!"

If he weren’t truly avoiding direct involvement and if the cream weren’t something ordinary people could obtain, he wouldn’t be stuck in this situation, feeling so humiliated.

It was said to be highly effective not only on fresh scars but also on surgical scars and stretch marks. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, its quantity was extremely limited, sold only twice a year, and buyers had to bid for it.

But of course, such strict conditions meant nothing to their wealthy circles.

If it could indeed erase scars, people were willing to pay sky-high prices for it.

And this was undoubtedly why Simeng had managed to carve out a prominent position so quickly in Beijing.

Leng Mochen gave him a calm glance and dialed a phone number, issuing a few instructions.

"It’ll be delivered in a while."

Long Wu’s face immediately lit up with joy. "You’re the best! Way better than that punk Xu Er!"

This didn’t just save money but time as well, and he was delighted!

Having achieved his goal, Long Wu couldn’t resist gossiping. "By the way, I heard from Xu Er that Yin Rui is dating the daughter of a jewelry tycoon? That guy sure has some decent luck!

And Yin Peiwen got divorced? She didn’t show up yesterday?"

His expression was filled with that ambiguous look men would understand.

Leng Mochen’s face turned cold. "What, are you starting to have ideas now that she’s divorced?"

To be fair, Long Wu wasn’t a bad person.

But with his mouth, it had always been enough to make people gnash their teeth in frustration.

Long Wu didn’t mind his cold expression—he was used to being frozen out by him.

He smirked mischievously. "She didn’t think much of me back then! You know why I hung around with Yin Rui later? Do you think it’s because of Yin Rui himself? Oh please! Look at his pathetic self! It was all because Yin Peiwen was beautiful, and I wanted to court her.

Unfortunately, she didn’t buy into it at all. Back then, their family was super arrogant. Not like now, when they’ve fallen to the fringes of the circle.

But you remember, right? Yin Peiwen used to have quite a thing for you—she clearly had feelings for you. Later, you didn’t respond, so she ended up with someone else."

Leng Mochen slammed the document shut forcefully. He couldn’t stand this "assigning a potential romantic interest to every woman" type of talk.

"Are you free to the point of idleness?"

Long Wu realized he’d crossed a line again with his gloating.

Today, it was only because Leng Er seemed to be in a good mood that he tolerated him for so long.

Realizing this, he sheepishly sank back into the sofa, pretending to look busy. "Don’t say that! I’m super busy! If it weren’t for the scar on my face, I’d be at the construction site supervising the inspection right now!"

The implication being, with his current appearance, there was no way he could go anywhere.

Leng Mochen’s faint glance pierced him. "Long Wu! Do you know why Su Meng doesn’t trust you? Aside from the things you’ve done, it’s also because of that mouth of yours!"

Some words might be intended as jokes, but women’s thoughts were unfathomable. One day, a playful remark might turn into her taking it seriously.

Plus, his own behavior made it extremely difficult for anyone to truly trust him.

Long Wu was hit right in the center of the target, utterly defeated.

Sometimes, his mouth truly got him into trouble, turning his words into avenues for misunderstanding.

For a moment, the spacious and elegantly furnished office fell into utter silence—with only the sound of Leng Mochen flipping through his documents and the sight of Long Wu staring contemplatively at the ground, lost in thought.
