Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 717 - 634: The Future is Long (4th Update)

Chapter 717: Chapter 634: The Future is Long (4th Update)

Li Si watched and listened indifferently; she truly had no idea what was going through this woman’s mind.

How could she be so confident that Li Si would agree to be friends with her?

Does she even have the qualifications? Does she not understand that times have changed?

"Oh, sorry, huh! I’ve never heard him mention it!"

Though her words sounded apologetic, there wasn’t even a hint of regret on Li Si’s face.

Yin Peiwen’s expression shifted slightly. Her brother had already told her yesterday about running into Leng Er and Xu Er at the banquet.

And today, by chance, while dining with her best friend, she immediately noticed Leng Er’s wife when she walked in.

But now, what was this little girl saying? She hadn’t heard Leng Er mention her?

Does that mean Leng Er...but what?

Yin Peiwen quickly collected herself and smiled gracefully: "Oh, I see! No wonder, back then I was closer with Long Wu. But it’s all right; there’s plenty of time in the future!"

Li Si arched her beautiful brows slightly and smiled faintly. "By the way, you don’t know who the person across from you is yet, do you?"

It was only then that Yin Peiwen truly shifted her gaze to Su Meng. "And who might this be?"

Su Meng smiled lightly and said, "I’m Long Wu’s wife!"

Yin Peiwen’s expression afterward—until Li Si and Su Meng left that Western restaurant—was something Li Si recalled later and couldn’t stop laughing about.

Yin Peiwen probably hadn’t expected that the wives of the two men she prided herself on knowing would appear simultaneously.

After Su Meng finished laughing, she looked at Li Si with a hint of unease: "Sisi, don’t misunderstand. There’s absolutely nothing between your Leng Er and her.

I can vouch for that. When she first walked over, I honestly didn’t even recognize her.

When I got together with Long Wu, she had already gone abroad.

Plus, with all the changes over the years, even I barely recognized her."

This woman really had something peculiar about her—coming over just because of a name to make a claim.

Li Si waved her hand with an air of nonchalance: "Oh, come on, what are you worried about? I didn’t take her to heart at all in the first place! As if she’s someone who matters!

We talked about Brother Wu the whole time we met; I didn’t even have the chance to gossip with you yet.

Yesterday, at the banquet, I met her brother Yin Rui, and from what he said, we already knew about Yin Peiwen’s divorce.

So seeing her today wasn’t shocking or concerning in the slightest!

We should just live our own lives. Why care about what’s going on with people like them?

Seriously, are we supposed to doubt our husbands just because of some former charming older sister who’s now divorced? That’d be truly laughable!"

To be honest, though, Li Si did feel a bit annoyed hearing Yin Peiwen say she used to be closer with Long Wu. For some reason, it had sounded grating.

However, given how Su Meng and Long Wu were already at odds, Li Si didn’t want to say anything that would further upset Su Meng.

Thus, she deliberately avoided the topic.

In her mind, she decided she’d eventually remind Long Wu to be cautious about women like this.

Best not to create unnecessary misunderstandings.

Su Meng visibly relaxed a little but suddenly remembered something, her face shifting slightly again. "Sisi! You and Leng Er—one just met them within the last few years, the other had memory loss—there are still some things you wouldn’t know.

When I first got to know Long Wu, I heard about Yin Peiwen being quite something. Back when her family was doing well, a lot of these guys were crazy about her.

But she had an arrogant air, never looking at anyone. The most she did was hang out with your Leng Er, my Long Wu, and Xu Er.

Back then, there was even talk of some fight between two groups of guys over her that led to them becoming friends."

Li Si blinked, her curiosity piqued. "Two groups? Who versus who? It wouldn’t have been my Leng Er and Long Wu, would it?"

Who would’ve thought they’d had a moment of chivalry for this beauty in the past!

Su Meng hesitated, looking uncomfortable, but eventually nodded slowly.

She hadn’t anticipated Li Si’s response to be a burst of hearty laughter.

"How amusing!"

Su Meng simply stared at her, dumbfounded. "Sisi! Are you not the slightest bit worried? Or angry?"

Truth be told, when Su Meng first heard about it, she had felt a touch of jealousy herself.

Even hearing Yin Peiwen talk earlier about being close to Long Wu stirred emotions within her she hadn’t shown outwardly.

Li Si shook her head: "I don’t feel those things at all. I just find it kind of funny! You said it yourself—it was back then, when her family was thriving and they were all young.

Now, they’re all in their thirties, married with families. And even if that woman maintained herself impeccably, she’s still an older, divorced woman compared to them. What’s worth thinking so much about?"

Su Meng began to see Li Si’s point, feeling that it might indeed be nothing to worry about, so she didn’t dwell on it.

Neither of them realized, however, what kind of impact this woman would have on their lives in the days to come.

After parting ways with Su Meng, Li Si didn’t go straight home; she headed over to the Leng Family office to pick up Leng Mochen.

By the time she arrived, Long Wu had taken what he came for and vanished.

Chances were, at that very moment, he was somewhere applying ointment!

"President Leng, when are you getting off work? I’m here to pick you up and take you home!"

Leng Mochen raised his head amidst a towering pile of files, his eyes filled with laughter as he extended his hand toward her. "Come here!"

Li Si pouted as she leaned closer, her voice laced with grievance: "Why didn’t you wake me up this morning? Mr. Jin came by, and I didn’t even know!"

Leng Mochen pulled her tenderly into his arms, gently explaining: "I saw how exhausted you were and thought I’d let you sleep a little more. Darling, is it still sore?"

Li Si slapped his forearm hard and looked up at him accusingly. "What do you think?"

When he got carried away, it was impossible to stop him—who’s to know the pain?

His smile remained, indulgent as ever, while she vented. When she finally stopped hitting him, he carefully held her reddened hand in his palms.

"What were you up to earlier?" Leng Mochen had already known when she stepped out, but he pretended ignorance so she wouldn’t think he was overly controlling.

Li Si glanced sideways at him. "Oh, stop acting! All the people around me are your informants—you knew I went out to eat with Su Meng!

Haha, but I bet you wouldn’t guess who we ran into!"

"Who’d you meet?" Leng Mochen’s curiosity was mildly piqued. "I’m guessing...a woman!"

Li Si exclaimed in mock amazement: "Wow, incredible! You’re right—it was a woman! And it was the woman we mentioned last night!"

Leng Mochen’s brow furrowed slightly, deliberately teasing her: "Don’t tell me it was Yin Rui’s girlfriend?"

He had already received a report that Yin Peiwen had met up with Li Si so quickly.

This didn’t sit well with him.

She toyed with his large hand while smiling, shaking her head. "Wrong! It was his sister, Yin Peiwen! Can you believe how funny this is? She came right up to our table and said she found me fascinating and wanted to be friends with me."

"Don’t bother with her. She’s out of her mind." Leng Mochen entirely dismissed such people.

Where did she get such confidence?

"Still, what is her endgame? I keep thinking this woman is as troublemaking as Qian Rouxuan! As for you, I’m not concerned. It’s Long Wu..."

Li Si was about to bring up an issue regarding Long Wu.

Just then, a faint vibration buzzed from one of the drawers in Leng Mochen’s desk...
