Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 763 - 680: There Must Be Ulterior Motives

Xu Er held Bai Shasha close and laughed, "Of course it’s a little secret!"

Long Wu clicked his tongue, "Meng Meng, let’s not listen, lest it corrupts our ears!"

He was worried that the topic of not being pregnant might come up and make Xu Er feel uncomfortable.

Su Meng shot him a glare, her expression seemingly saying, "You just have to insert yourself everywhere, don’t you?"

Long Wu touched his nose feeling awkward, sighing, "Ah, the road ahead is long and tough."

Xu Er exchanged a knowing glance with Long Wu and then turned to Bai Shasha, "By the way, why are you still hanging out with Leng Er?"

Long Wu was also puzzled, "Yeah, what’s the deal with you two being together?"

Logically speaking, Bai Shasha going to the hospital for a check-up wouldn’t involve Leng Er’s company—it was simply against his nature. If it had been his Sisi’s pregnancy, it would make more sense.

Li Si sighed, "It’s such a complicated story! You all better comfort Shasha and me well—we nearly got sulfuric acid thrown at us to ruin our faces!"

Su Meng gasped loudly, "What happened? Spill it, quick!"

Xu Er anxiously looked at Bai Shasha, "Honey! Are you okay?"

How could things escalate to sulfuric acid and disfigurement?

Bai Shasha waved her hand dismissively, "I’m fine!" Thinking back, she still felt deeply guilty. "Actually, it was my fault; if I hadn’t dragged Li Si to that café, maybe none of this would have happened."

"Shasha! Don’t think like that; Tian Yaru was clearly targeting me. If anyone should feel guilty, it’s me.

Had you not been with me, you probably wouldn’t have encountered such a thing!"

Su Meng grew impatient, "You two, stop blaming yourselves! You’re driving us nuts—what exactly happened?"

How did Tian Yaru get involved in this?

She knew about the tangled relationship between Tian Yaru and Li Si.

Li Si concisely explained the events, with Bai Shasha interjecting occasionally. By the time everyone heard the whole story, they were furious.

Long Wu slammed the table, "What kind of person does this? Trying to pull someone down with them even when dying?"

Someone like that deserves to suffer from a terminal illness!

Su Meng patted his hand, signaling him to tone it down.

She felt, no matter the circumstance, they were still people related to Li Si by blood.

As friends, it wouldn’t be appropriate to overcriticize.

Xu Er rarely showed a gloomy expression, "Committing such acts and still daring to plead for leniency? How shameless!"

He then squeezed Bai Shasha’s hand tightly, "Don’t worry, dear, your husband is back now!"

Li Si glanced at the group’s outrage and the deep grimness in Leng Mochen’s eyes. She gently rubbed his hand to console him and smiled, "Alright now! Nothing happened in the end, right? Let’s talk about something else. As for the judgment, whatever the law decides is fine—I will not compromise!"

No matter how the story spreads in the future or what people might say about her.

To Tian Yaru, she would never be lenient nor let her off easily.

Although Jiang Tong had already called earlier to inform her that the two injured bodyguards were now out of danger,

Li Si still didn’t want to let this go!

"Exactly! Why should we compromise? This time it didn’t result in harm, but if something had happened, Shasha and I would’ve been disfigured! We must expose this properly."

Bai Shasha was fuming. When she finished her statement at the police station, all she saw was Tian Yaruo, Ye Duowei, and Mrs. Tian Sr. sitting there.

She truly didn’t know what kind of events unfolded during her absence.

That Ye Duowei was disgusting enough, claiming Tian Yaru merely intended to scare Li Si.

How could she say that? Absolutely ridiculous!

Suddenly, Long Wu’s phone on the dining table rang.

The call interrupted their conversation.

Long Wu glanced at the caller ID with an annoyed look and directly hung up.

"Who is it?" Su Meng, now paying close attention to Long Wu’s phone calls, asked. After certain events, she no longer bottled up her curiosity like before.

"Yin Rui, that jerk!"

Just mentioning this person infuriated Long Wu.

At Uncle Xu’s birthday banquet, his girlfriend had created a scene, and afterward, Yin Rui still came to apologize.

Does apologizing mean everything goes back to normal? Impossible! Yin Rui had become someone he refused to associate with.

Moreover, he planned to crush him hard one day, to vent his anger and Meng Meng’s grievances.

Su Meng felt Long Wu’s gaze but calmly glanced at him without saying a word.

The scene from that day, although Long Wu made many efforts to make up for it later, still remained a thorn in her heart.

No matter how much they might argue or have conflicts as a couple, when outsiders insulted her like that, he acted as an onlooker.

That incident was a real betrayal of trust and left her disheartened.

Warming a heart might take a long time, but chilling it could happen in a single moment—with just one event, one sentence.

When they heard it was Yin Rui, everyone present showed expressions of disdain.

Li Si whispered to Leng Mochen, "How does he still have the nerve to contact Brother Wu?"

She had heard about how Long Wu had made Yin Rui feel humiliated.

Leng Mochen snorted, "It’s obvious he wants something!"

Yin Rui’s girlfriend, He Zixi, came from a family that dealt in jewelry, and Long Wu’s father was a highly respected figure in the antique circle. He Zixi had clearly misunderstood the situation that day.

But now, thinking of He Zixi’s connection to He Yinyin, Leng Mochen’s gaze darkened.

And through recent investigations, he discovered that Lu Qilin was curiously acquainted with Wang Ruotong’s uncle, Liu Yuanqing.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for Jin Jiachao to meet him at that club.

The thought of Lu Qilin’s upcoming meeting with him stirred suspicions. Had someone leaked certain information?

Maybe that’s why He Zixi had been prying so extensively about Li Si?

If that’s truly the case, things could get very troublesome!

Nonetheless, he already had an action plan in mind!

Li Si let out a knowing laugh, "No wonder!"

Who would willingly lower themselves to anyone? It’s always about interests!

Xu Er and Bai Shasha were talking about Yin Rui too.

"Are you really going to his wedding?" Bai Shasha asked casually, but Xu Er could sense her displeasure.

"We’ll see. If I’m busy, I won’t go!" Xu Er replied tentatively, knowing that Yin Rui had attended his father’s birthday banquet.

If Xu Er boycotted Yin Rui’s wedding, it might make him seem petty and incapable of tolerance.

At that moment, a gentle knock sounded at the private room’s door.

Long Wu responded, "Come in!"

Li Si saw it was the waitstaff, who began bringing in dishes on food carts.

The aroma of the food filled the room, making her realize how hungry she was.

After breakfast that morning, she had gone out to pick up Bai Shasha.

When they left the hospital feeling frustrated, it wasn’t yet noon, so she hadn’t ordered food at the café—just a cup of coffee.

Later, not only did she run into Yin Xian and Leng Mo but also dealt with the Tian Yaruo incident and got caught up at the police station. It was only now that actual food was before her.

Leng Mochen noticed her staring at the steak, practically drooling, and couldn’t help but laugh, patting her back gently, "Starving, huh? Eat up!"

Li Si glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Shasha and I are starving, so we’re digging in now!"

As she spoke, she grabbed a knife and fork and began eating.

Everyone smiled and joined her, starting their meal.
