Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 63 - 61: The Pitiable Have Their Despicable Traits

Chapter 63: Chapter 61: The Pitiable Have Their Despicable Traits

Uncle Bo’s Home Cooking was brightly lit and bustling with noise.

Leng Mochen and Li Sigan entered the hall, and Cui Hao greeted them warmly. Cui Hao genuinely admired Leng Mochen. He had dabbled in the stock market before, made some money and basked in his glory, but eventually got trapped and hit rock bottom.

If it weren’t for meeting Li Si, he wouldn’t have had the chance to know Leng Mochen now. So, he was equally grateful to Li Si.

Just a few days ago, Li Si handed over her business to Leng Mochen. During their chat, the topic of stock trading came up. Leng Mochen pointed out a stock for Cui Hao, who used his remaining funds to invest, resulting in continual gains recently.

"Mr. Leng, Li Si, this way please!"

"Arrange a spot for Jiang Feng to eat!"

"Got it!" Cui Hao called over a nearby waiter to make the arrangement.

The group reached a private room on the second floor. "You don’t need to stay with us. Old Cui, go ahead and take care of your own business!" Leng Mochen wasn’t accustomed to having others watching him while dining.

"Alright then. Enjoy your meal! Just call me if you need anything!" Cui Hao nodded attentively and left.

Li Si sighed and said, "Brother Leng, see that? This is the difference in how people treat others! Back when I was still President Li, he didn’t behave like this with me at all!"

"You silly girl, can you seriously compare people? You’re still too inexperienced! When you can stand on your own, you’ll realize these things don’t matter." He patted her head and said it with a smile.

"Me? I don’t want to become a career woman. With you charging forward in front, I’d rather just stay a happy foodie!" Li Si had long understood she didn’t have the aptitude for managing business, so she happily left it to those who were capable.

"Alright, that’s a good mindset! No matter what happens, you’ve got your big brother to cover for you!" Leng Mochen playfully flicked her nose. Over time, their relationship had grown closer, often involving small affectionate gestures. She no longer felt shy about it.

"So I’m basically enjoying the shade under your big tree! The only issue is that this tree seems a bit skinny—too lean!" She deliberately looked him up and down. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Leng Mochen still hadn’t gained weight recently, whereas Li Si, who frequently indulged in good food, had put on a few pounds. If not for the restorative river water stored in her space, she would’ve gained even more.

"What’s wrong with being lean? What’s that phrase again? Oh, right—don’t be fooled by my slim appearance, my entire body’s muscle!"

"What nonsense? The way I remember it is: Don’t be fooled by my slim appearance, my bones are full of meat! Don’t be fooled by my dark complexion; my face radiates brilliance!" Li Si insisted that was the correct version.

"Are you even dark-skinned? Among black people, you’d be considered pale!" Leng Mochen teased her on purpose. Truthfully, Li Si was very fair-skinned, her complexion flawless, without visible pores. In the sunlight, one could see fine baby hairs on her skin—a detail he had noticed.

"Forget it, enough talk! I’m mad! Open your big shiny eyes and look closely, carefully. My skin is rosy white—where exactly do you see ’dark’?"

Li Si puffed out her cheeks in frustration. This guy was so sharp-tongued, completely oblivious to how much girls care about their looks, especially their skin. Isn’t it common knowledge that women of all ages spend every day smearing all kinds of products on their faces, all in pursuit of that perfect, fair, and dewy complexion?

"Oh, are you actually mad? Silly girl, I was just joking with you!" Leng Mochen couldn’t help smiling when he saw her cheeks puffed up like a little frog. When he laughed, his features appeared even more exquisite and lively, especially the faint groove in the center of his chin.

"Hey, Brother Leng, look! There’s a little groove in the middle of your chin! Is this what they call the famed ’beauty slit’ or ’beauty groove’? You should smile more often—you’re even more charming when you do!" Li Si marveled, wondering why the creator was so partial to him, even gifting him a rare beauty groove found on very few people.

"Really?" Leng Mochen instinctively touched his chin. This silly girl knew quite a lot; he had never known this faint mark had a name.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. "Come in," Li Si thought it was the waiter bringing their dishes.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Rou walked in. "Li Si, is it really you? I thought it looked like you when I saw you downstairs. Brother Leng, hello! We’re meeting again!" Her sudden appearance left both of them surprised. Leng Mochen gave her a cold glance.

"Yes, we’re here for dinner." Ever since that unpleasant falling out with Zhou Rou, Li Si hadn’t seen her for a while.

"Li Si, are you still mad at me? I was wrong last time; I said things I shouldn’t have. After all these years of friendship, are you really going to ignore me over something so trivial?" Zhou Rou stood weakly by the table, looking aggrieved.

Li Si felt even more repulsed. What was wrong with this woman? Who had actually wronged her?

"Zhou Rou, I have some business to discuss with Brother Leng. Let’s talk about our issues another time, okay?"

"Alright then, Li Si. You both chat. Brother Leng, goodbye! Let’s plan to get together with Shasha sometime soon. I’ll call you then!"

"Fine." Li Si didn’t want to make things too awkward, so she agreed reluctantly.

Before leaving, Zhou Rou gave Leng Mochen a lingering look full of emotion, but he completely ignored her. Her body stiffened momentarily, and she left with a hint of sadness.

Frowning, Li Si said, "Brother Leng, now that you’ve taken over this place, dealing with personnel arrangements is entirely up to you. I’m not going to meddle!"

"Got it. What’s going on between you and her?" Leng Mochen poured a cup of tea for Li Si as he asked.

"She was my classmate in high school. We used to get along pretty well back then. Her father passed away, leaving a bunch of debts, and her family struggled. She worked at the back office. Anyway, I felt bad for her and brought her here to help her out. Though she probably doesn’t know I’m the owner here."

"Then she should be grateful to you instead! Why the unpleasantness?"

"Don’t even mention it, Brother Leng. Sometimes I just don’t understand how people change so much! After the New Year, she and Shasha and I went out to eat, and she brought her brother along. The whole situation felt off. She even said some pretty outrageous things. When Shasha and I got mad and argued back, she accused us of looking down on her. Then she left angrily!" Li Si was exasperated. She had meant to help, but it seemed she’d only created a problem.

"That classmate of yours—there’s something lurking in her eyes. Such things are beyond the comprehension of someone as pure as you. Ever heard this saying?" Leng Mochen had quietly observed Zhou Rou and noticed her underlying anger when she left. Yet, she spoke with sweetness—a sign of hidden scheming.

"What saying?"

"Pitiful people often have irritating traits."

"So true! Brother Leng, tomorrow whatever you say, I’ll jot it all down in a little notebook. If I ever lose my head, I’ll flip it open to remind myself!" Li Si dodged the hand Leng Mochen raised to pat her head and continued, "Or maybe I should stick it to the wall!"

"You silly girl—what am I going to do with you?"

"Chill with me!" The two of them bantered playfully, paying no attention to the ears eavesdropping just beyond the door.

Zhou Rou tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes flashing with hatred. Li Si, if you want to be unkind, then don’t blame me for being heartless! Just wait and see!
