Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 828 - 745: Blunt Words (Second Update)

"Maybe the way we handle things is ultimately different. For him, anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem at all.

But I’m different. I think about a lot of things, and they are mostly very practical issues! Si, do you think this way of dealing with things is a common problem among you rich people?"

"Uh... it seems you’re not exactly poor either?" Li Si teased her, and seeing Bai Shasha glaring disapprovingly, she quickly waved her hands: "Alright! I said something wrong, okay? It’s not about having a common problem; everyone is an individual, especially since you and Xu Er grew up in different environments and have different experiences, so it’s natural to handle problems differently!

And let me be fair here, you always imagine your mom as a monster to avoid at all costs due to your understanding of her! But Xu Er usually only sees and hears the good side of your mom, so when there’s a dispute between you and your mom, how can you expect him, as a son-in-law, to take sides? Can he really support your decisions?

If he really did that, how would you view him? You’d surely be even angrier! And how would your parents feel?

Actually, I think his approach is quite straightforward and effective! By not living under the same roof, certain issues and conflicts can naturally be avoided!"

Bai Shasha hesitated and replied, "But, but you know, even if I marry him and we become a couple, I don’t want him to feel like I’m relying on him. Gifts, shopping vouchers, those are fine, OK! As his wife, I enjoy them with a clear conscience!

But when it comes to buying a villa for my parents, I can’t accept it! Does it mean that in the future, I should let my parents live in a house bought by their son-in-law, and then one day, if Xu Er and I have a fight, he’ll bring it up? And besides, what would my in-laws think?"

Just then, the dishes arrived, interrupting their conversation. Once all the dishes were served, Bai Shasha gestured to Li Si, "Let’s eat and chat!"

"Sure!"

They continued discussing the earlier topic without reaching any conclusions.

Halfway through the meal, they unexpectedly saw Wang Ruotong and Qin He walk into the restaurant.

Both women were stunning in different styles, naturally attracting the attention of the diners.

Wang Ruotong spotted Li Si first and quickly left Qin He to walk over alone.

She acted very warmly: "Li Si! What a coincidence! I went back to school! Just came back to the country, it’s been so long since we’ve met! What have you been busy with lately?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Shasha sitting opposite Li Si and smiled to greet her.

Li Si replied calmly, "Really, I’ve been busy with many things!"

She glanced in Qin He’s direction, maintaining a calm demeanor as if she didn’t know who that woman was.

Li Si had refused Qin He’s previous invitation, so she hadn’t thought much about it since.

But when someone really wants to meet, they’ll always find a way, be it by coincidence or with calculated intent.

Actually, Li Si knew quite early on about the association between Wang Ruotong, her mother, and Qin He.

However, this sudden encounter was truly a bit strange.

Bai Shasha couldn’t help but feel very curious. She had met this girl before and thought, isn’t this the desk mate Si mentioned before?

How is she involved with Qin He, who’s standing not far away?

Wang Ruotong, ever the social butterfly, pointed towards Qin He and suggested, "I came with my cousin’s sister! Why don’t we sit together? An invitation can’t beat a chance meeting!"

Before Li Si and Bai Shasha could respond, she boldly called out to Qin He, "Sister He! Come over!"

Qin He smiled with elegance as she approached, greeting them politely, "Hello, everyone!"

Li Si and Bai Shasha exchanged a glance; both knew who this woman was, so they didn’t respond with much enthusiasm.

Instead, Wang Ruotong laughed warmly, introducing them: "Li Si, Bai Shasha, this is my cousin sister, she’s pretty amazing! Sister, this is my elementary school classmate Li Si and her friend!"

"Tongtong! Don’t say it like that! Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you! I’m Qin He!"

Pausing for a moment, she exclaimed, "Li Si! That name sounds so familiar! May I ask, are you perhaps the same person who is married to President Leng that I know?"

A playful smile briefly flickered across Li Si’s face. She wasn’t sure if this scene was pre-planned or a genuine coincidence.

But since it happened, she saw no need to show any sign of weakness.

"That’s me! But didn’t Wang Ruotong know that? Didn’t she mention it to you?"

After speaking, Li Si glanced at Wang Ruotong; she clearly remembered that Wang Ruotong and her mother knew quite a bit about her situation. How could they not know who her husband was?

Had they really not mentioned it to Qin He? She found it hard to believe!

Wang Ruotong looked slightly embarrassed and didn’t respond.

Instead, Qin He chuckled, "What a coincidence! We hadn’t mentioned that! I really didn’t expect someone as remarkable as Mrs. Leng. I had wanted to meet you before! But fate had other plans!"

Just then, Wang Ruotong abruptly interrupted her previous silence, whispering, "Sis! So the person you mentioned is Li Si’s husband, huh? If I had known..."

But she didn’t get to finish before Qin He interrupted with a stern look: "Tongtong! What are you saying! Stop it!"

Then she, with a slightly hesitant expression, apologized, "Li Si, I’m really sorry, my younger sister just speaks without thinking. Please don’t take it to heart! Really, there’s nothing to it!"

Li Si’s eyes flickered with sarcasm, but outwardly she smiled calmly, "It’s fine, really! Shall we sit?"

She wanted to see what Qin He was up to!

If it were an ordinary person, they might be drawn in by the two-sister act and step right into their scheme.

But Li Si, knowing what their true intentions were, remained composed and unbothered.

Bai Shasha also watched the scene with a cold eye, inwardly thinking it was a shame this woman wasn’t an actress.

Li Si had previously learned from her that during Simeng’s store anniversary, Qin He had sent a flower basket with a note inviting a meeting.

Now that they met, Qin He acted as if nothing of the sort ever occurred. Truly, a businessperson’s words can’t be trusted!

Seeing Li Si’s composed response, Qin He immediately showed surprise and enthusiasm, "Then we’ll impose!"

Saying so, she gracefully sat down, giving a slight tug to the somewhat confused Wang Ruotong.

The four of them sat facing each other, with Qin He scrutinizing the composed Li Si.

Her eyes glinted, and she laughed: "Speaking of coincidences, the last time I met President Leng at a party, I even asked about you, Mrs. Leng!

I really never imagined you’d be Tongtong’s elementary schoolmate! That’s quite some serendipity!"

Li Si replied coldly, "Is that so! I don’t think so!"

Qin He hit a wall, and a trace of coldness finally flickered in her eyes.

It seemed she needed to slightly adjust her plans!

Bai Shasha whispered quietly in Li Si’s ear, "Something’s fishy!"

Though she didn’t know as much as Li Si, the presence of Qin He gave her a sense of impending crisis.

Li Si nodded slightly, "Don’t worry!"
