Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 792 - 709: Just Watch and See

He Zixi stared at Xu Er’s back and reprimanded in a hushed tone, "Yin Rui! What did you say back then?"

If it hadn’t been for his firm promise that Li Si and Leng Mochen would definitely show up, could she have made assurances to her aunts?

Now, everything was ready except for the crucial part, and yet she was being told that this crucial part wouldn’t show up at all. How was she supposed to explain this to her aunts?

Yin Rui quickly glanced around and lowered his head, explaining, "Honey! Please let me explain!"

He Zixi snapped angrily, "Don’t call me ’Honey’! You can’t even handle such a small matter—what use are you to me?"

She was livid!

Yin Rui patiently tried to placate her, "So many people are watching right now; could you refrain from blowing up for the time being?"

He Zixi also realized she was the center of attention at the moment, with everyone’s eyes on her, so she suppressed her anger and pointed at him in a low voice, "Fine! I won’t blow up! But tell me, why is it that your so-called buddies only Xu Er showed up?"

The hotel had air conditioning running, yet Yin Rui was sweating profusely. "I have no idea! Just now, didn’t Xu Er say? He said it’s likely they wouldn’t show up!

Maybe some urgent matter delayed them? How about this—I’ll call them to check in!"

He Zixi waved him off impatiently, a subtle glimmer flashing in her eyes. In truth, Yin Rui was also unclear about the specifics.

He merely assumed her strong insistence on Leng Mochen and his wife’s presence was to create a stronger impression.

Little did he know, their attendance was at the request of Aunt He Yinyin.

...

Xu Er walked a few steps farther away, then turned back to glance at the sight of Yin Rui lowering himself utterly to endure He Zixi’s scolding. A cold smile flickered across his lips.

He hadn’t come today simply to celebrate Yin Rui’s big wedding day.

Several days ago, Long Wu and Leng Er, those two guys, had spilled all of Yin Rui’s little schemes to him.

So-called good buddies? Who was his buddy? Yin Rui had the audacity?

What a blatant attempt at self-aggrandizement!

If Xu Er had known earlier about Fatty Yin’s cunning maneuvering, he wouldn’t have attended this wedding for anything.

However, it turned out to be an opportunity to infiltrate enemy territory—a calculated move. Thinking about acting when the moment arose filled him with satisfaction.

Xu Er scanned the wedding venue from all angles, and in every regard, it was inferior to his own hotel.

But with Yin Rui rushing to get married, his own hotel had no available slots.

If the relationship were tight, like with Long Wu and Leng Er, he’d compensate personally to clear booking slots for his pals to hold the event.

As this thought passed, his concealed earpiece transmitted Long Wu’s voice: "Are you able to chat right now?"

Xu Er frowned slightly and rubbed his forehead to mask his startled reaction to the sudden outburst in the earpiece.

He glanced left and right, replying in a soft tone, "Yes, it’s fine! Can you lower your volume a bit?"

Long Wu burst into laughter, which only annoyed Xu Er further.

He always suspected Long Wu was unreliable—and, unsurprisingly, he was right.

Originally, Long Wu had seemed to most want to pull this stunt, but the way he worded his refusal left no flexibility at all.

Had he shown up today, not only would he have lost face, but he’d have gained nothing in return.

And Leng Er? Even less likely! Their intention was simply that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

By exploiting this opportunity, they could collect some video footage for potential future use.

Thus, Xu Er became the most suitable candidate.

Add in Bai Shasha, who didn’t stop singing his praises and egging him on, and Xu Er readily accepted the plan.

Currently, in an apartment not far from the hotel, sat Long Wu, Leng Er, and others.

Everyone was outside spectating, while he—a poor sap—ventured alone into the lion’s den. Wasn’t that a tough job?

At that moment, Li Si’s crisp voice came through the earpiece, "Xu Er! Be careful!"

At least that sounded slightly genuine!

Xu Er knew his wife must be nearby, overhearing everything. Unable to resist, he responded with manly bravado, "Got it! Just watch me!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

More laughter ensued from the group.

"Honey! You’re the best!" Amid the laughter, he keenly picked up Bai Shasha’s voice. His lips curled into a broad grin.

Suddenly, the dazzling gowns and suits, the music reverberating through the banquet hall—all seemed to become pleasantly melodic.

Xu Er quietly stowed away his indifference and focused carefully on whether the individuals Leng Er had flagged were nearby.

In the apartment, Li Si curiously examined the equipment, recalling how in movies she’d seen cops or hackers use such high-tech gadgets.

Li Si had been eager to try out these instruments for ages. Bai Shasha shared the same excitement and curiosity, and the two whispered their observations while Leng Mochen and Long Wu chatted leisurely next to them.

Xu Er’s mission was to mingle in the banquet hall and use the devices on his person to gather intel.

Meanwhile, others stationed around the venue ensured Xu Er’s safety.

So far, everything seemed normal!

Xu Er wandered idly around the venue, eventually spotting several women seated at the main guest table from afar.

Two of the women had been shown to him in photos previously by Leng Er’s network research.

He quietly approached and took an adjacent table, seating himself with his back to them. He discretely adjusted his black handbag on the table’s edge to position it optimally.

At this moment, Aunt Yuan, seated among the guests, was leaning over and quietly chatting with someone.

Beside her were two exceptionally captivating women—one an elegant middle-aged lady whose practiced skincare couldn’t fully conceal the thin lines at her eyes and the sagging apple-shaped cheeks of her face.

The other, a young woman with short hair, delicate features, fair skin, and a bright purple dress that radiated her charm. Her deep eyes sparkled enticingly, drawing every eye in the room.

Aunt Yuan glanced admiringly at the younger woman and covered her mouth, chuckling lightly. "Big Sis! Isn’t Little He getting prettier by the day? Even I, as an elder, am smitten with her—let alone those promising young men!"

The young woman, none other than Qin He, smiled sheepishly and replied, "Aunt Yuan, stop teasing me!"

The middle-aged woman, addressed as Big Sis, smiled gently, "What Aunt Yuan says is true! Little He, have you truly decided to marry that Zhai boy?"

Qin He nodded reluctantly, "If not him, it would’ve been someone else. Besides, you understand my current situation. Grandpa clearly favors Qin Xin over me!"

He Yinyin pulled Qin He’s hand with a reassuring expression. "Don’t think like that! From what I see, your Grandpa only feels guilty towards that child.

All these years, we’ve seen with our own eyes how much you’ve been spoiled.

Give it some time to settle; he’ll come around to his senses!"

Qin He meekly nodded, "Let’s hope so!"

Aunt Yuan couldn’t help herself and chimed in, "I don’t mean to meddle, but your Qin Family patriarch has some peculiar notions—a plastic-surgery product dragged in from outside, how could that ever compare to you?"

He Yinyin noticed Qin He’s expression falter slightly and gave Aunt Yuan a reproving look.
