Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 793 - 710: Until We Meet Again

"Why are you saying this? Xiao He! Actually..."

He Yinyin wanted to comfort Qin He a bit more but was suddenly interrupted by He Zixi: "Aunt!"

He Zixi bit her lower lip, looking as though she had trouble speaking.

He Yinyin’s brows furrowed slightly: "What’s wrong?!"

He Yuanyuan asked with concern: "What is it, Zixi?"

He Zixi leaned in close and whispered: "Leng Er and Li Si aren’t coming..."

She was solely focused and nervous about He Yinyin’s reaction, completely oblivious to the fact that someone sitting at the neighboring table was, incredibly, Xu Er.

Qin He’s gaze flickered, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly.

She knew it—there was no way that man was so easy to deal with!

It turned out to be just as expected! He really hadn’t let her down!

He Yuanyuan’s expression changed slightly, glancing at the unreadable face of He Yinyin: "Big Sister! What now?"

Their original plan was to seize the perfect opportunity to quietly abduct Leng Er and Li Si once they arrived.

But now, they weren’t coming!

He Yinyin shot her a faint glance: "Why panic?"

He Yuanyuan quickly lowered her head, feeling a deep sense of dread toward her elder sister.

He Zixi grew even more nervous and hurried to explain: "Aunt, even Yin Rui was fooled by them. What do we do now?"

Despite her dissatisfaction with Yin Rui’s inefficiency, he was her man now. If there was something to be said, she had to defend him.

He Yinyin smiled reassuringly: "It’s alright! I’m just curious about that woman named Li Si. If she didn’t come, perhaps fate will bring us together next time!

Zixi, today is your joyous day. Don’t let these trivial matters trouble you. Be a happy, beautiful bride! We’ll just sit back and attend your ceremony as guests!"

He Zixi let out a sigh of relief—so long as her aunt wasn’t angry.

"Big Aunt, Little Aunt, Xiao He, I’ll go now!"

He Yinyin waved her hand, watching He Zixi’s retreating back before her expression darkened to look at He Yuanyuan: "Utterly disgraceful!"

He Yuanyuan dared not retaliate aloud, silently enduring the reprimand.

Qin He stepped in just in time to relieve her: "Godmother, Aunt Yuan was just in a moment of urgency! Now that they haven’t shown up, what’s our next plan..."

He Yinyin let out a cold chuckle, her eyes gleaming with confidence: "The plan must change, of course! So long as she’s in Beijing, I can’t believe there won’t be another opportunity!"

Qin He’s eyes shimmered with an unusual light; she lowered her gaze slightly, her lips curving into a sneer.

Little did they know, no matter how tightly they played their cards, they hadn’t anticipated Leng Mochen and his people.

Xu Er’s handbag contained surveillance equipment, recording everything that had transpired without them knowing.

Leng Mochen’s gaze darkened as he watched the footage and sound being transmitted from the rotating camera.

Li Si stared at and listened to everything in disbelief, feeling as though she had become a precious prize that everyone coveted.

Bai Shasha muttered furiously: "Si, these women are seriously audacious! Do they think they can do whatever they please? What happened to law and order?"

Li Si patted her hand: "Don’t rush, Shasha! They may have their strategies, but we have ours. Let’s see who wins this game!"

Sometimes, when faced with a situation, confronting it head-on is better than running away.

From the moment He Yinyin and Qin He set foot in Beijing, Leng Mochen and the others had prepared their countermeasures.

Leng Mochen chuckled as he glanced at her: "Not nervous anymore? Talking like you’ve thought it all through!"

Was this the same person who was so anxious she couldn’t sleep half the night?

Of course, Li Si knew what look he was giving her. She rolled her eyes playfully: "Hmph!"

Long Wu groaned in exasperation from the side: "Hey, you two! Could you not flaunt your lovey-dovey act in front of an injured party here? This is a serious moment, and you show no self-awareness!"

Bai Shasha curiously asked: "Brother Wu! Where are you hurt? I couldn’t tell!"

Long Wu clutched his chest dramatically: "I’m heartbroken—by my Meng Meng!"

Li Si and Bai Shasha couldn’t hold back their exasperated "tsk!" Long Wu’s words had grown tiresome to their ears, yet he still dared claim Meng Meng had hurt him.

Honestly speaking, it was probably him who hurt Meng Meng first!

Leng Mochen glanced at him calmly: "Still not over it?"

Long Wu immediately morphed into a self-pitying character: "That kind of wound doesn’t heal quickly! Let me tell you, what I hate most right now is Yin Rui, that bastard!"

"Xu Er’s here alone? Why?"

At that moment, a woman’s voice came from where Xu Er was sitting, prompting everyone to stiffen and focus their attention on the situation unfolding over there.

Xu Er frowned, eyeing Yin Peiwen with her garish outfit and overwhelming perfume scent: "What? I’m not welcome here?"

Yin Peiwen was stumped by his retort but quickly plastered on a smile: "Of course not! I was just curious; you guys used to be such close friends with Xiao Rui, yet now he’s getting married, and you didn’t show up?"

Xu Er sneered sarcastically: "You said it yourself—used to be! Things change, and we have other priorities now."

Yin Peiwen let out an awkward chuckle: "Fair point!"

Seeing that Xu Er had no interest in speaking further, she found an excuse to leave.

However, Yin Peiwen’s presence and call to Xu Er caught the attention of He Yinyin’s table.

Qin He glanced at Xu Er’s departing figure, a thought flickering in her mind, her face turning slightly grim.

Had this person overheard everything they said just now?

If this gave him reason to be on guard, then...

He Yinyin quietly scolded He Yuanyuan: "Why didn’t you pay attention to who was sitting at the next table?"

What did she bring He Yuanyuan here for?

It wasn’t to simply flaunt around Beijing!

If she couldn’t even figure out who people were, then how could they strike when least expected and gain the upper hand?

He Yuanyuan glanced toward Xu Er’s direction in frustration, but all she could see was a broad figure. She wasn’t clairvoyant—how was she supposed to recognize who was who?

"Big Sister! What should we do now?"

He Yinyin shot her a glare: "Shut up!"

At times like this, acting as though nothing happened was the only option—what else could they do?

Yet a vague sense of unease stirred within her, as if she were already being watched intently.

Could it be Leng Er?

...

Leng Mochen’s gaze sharpened as he watched the footage transmitted to him. Suddenly, he spoke aloud to Xu Er: "Xu Er! They’ve noticed. Leave immediately!"

Long Wu expressed his disagreement in surprise: "It hasn’t even escalated yet! Isn’t it too early to pull out?"

The wedding ceremony hadn’t started, and who knew what might happen next?

Leng Mochen shook his head: "It’s enough! Staying further won’t yield anything worth the risk!"

Besides, he didn’t want Xu Er to be in danger because of this. People like He Yinyin simply had no regard for propriety and were used to striking underhandedly.

Li Si and Bai Shasha agreed—it wasn’t worth staying longer. They had gained all the information they needed, and Yin Peiwen’s sudden appearance had already alerted He Yinyin and her people to Xu Er’s existence.

So lingering would indeed be futile!

Xu Er acted like nothing was amiss, casually picking up his handbag before standing up decisively.

He Yinyin and her companions stared at the sudden movement, each fixing their gaze on him.

What was this man doing? What did he mean by this?

But Xu Er didn’t spare them even a glance, striding confidently toward the door...
