Rebirth: CEO's Sweetheart Reaches the Life Pinnacle!-Chapter 70 - 67: Who Made the Call?

"Yeah! Why are you so worked up?" Ye Duowei looked a bit uneasy. Could it be that she already knew something?

"I’m not worked up, I just wanted to ask—do we have some sort of grudge between us? Why do you keep calling me with those harassing calls?" Li Si stared at her and asked. She needed to know the reason today because this whole thing had been driving her crazy.

"What? You’re the one who’s been making those silent late-night calls to Li Si?" Bai Shasha, furious, let go of her hand and joined in questioning, "What’s your motive, huh?"

Jia Yuejing was dumbfounded. What kind of situation was this? Bitter rivals meeting and turning red with anger? But the specifics didn’t seem to align with that scenario!

Ye Duowei lowered her head, tears brimming in her eyes. "Boohoo~~ Why are you accusing me like this right after we first met? I just got back to the country! How could I possibly have your number? And I don’t even know you—why would I call you?"

"Li Si, Bai Shasha, there’s probably some kind of misunderstanding here. I can vouch for this—Weiwei indeed just returned from abroad not long ago, and she didn’t know you beforehand. How could she possibly be the one calling you?" Jia Yuejing felt certain it must be a misunderstanding.

"Whether it’s a misunderstanding, I don’t know. But it’s a fact that I’ve been receiving harassing calls for a while. I had someone check it out, and while some of them came from temporary numbers, one of the registered owners was named Ye Duowei. Could it just be a coincidence? There shouldn’t be too many people with that name, right?"

Li Si felt a wave of frustration. Yin Xian clearly had a fiancée—so why was he still pursuing her? Was he just playing with her again? She subconsciously clenched her fists.

Also, if this girl claimed to be Yin Xian’s fiancée, then why was she calling her? And how could someone who had just returned from abroad know her number?

"This..." Jia Yuejing hesitated. There weren’t that many people in Beijing with the surname Ye, and the name Ye Duowei was unlikely to be a common one. But believing that Weiwei had made the calls also seemed unrealistic.

"It really wasn’t me! Li Si, I just met you—please trust me!"

Li Si pondered for a moment. Could it really just be a case of the same name? She softened her tone. "If it’s not you, then forget it. I just wanted to figure out what’s going on. By the way, what’s your phone number? Could you share it?"

Ye Duowei’s face visibly changed, but she forced herself to stay calm as she pulled out her phone from her bag. "Ah, I just got a new number after returning to the country—I haven’t memorized it yet!"

"Then I’ll tell you my number, and you can call me—that’s the same!" Li Si noticed that Ye Duowei seemed a bit tense all over. Today, she was determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Alright. Go ahead."

"Alright, my number is—" Before Li Si could finish, Ye Duowei suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear!" She looked at Li Si apologetically and said, "I’m so sorry—my phone’s probably out of battery and has shut down! Why don’t you write down your number, and I’ll call you once I get home?"

Could something so coincidental really happen? Li Si didn’t believe it.

"Li Si, since that’s the case, let’s meet another day. Don’t you and Shasha still have things to do? I have something to take care of back at school—I’ve made plans with someone." Jia Yuejing chimed in at the right moment, defusing the awkward tension.

"Fine then! See you another day!"

Watching Jia Yuejing and Ye Duowei’s departing figures, Li Si found herself deep in thought. Could it really have been her? But why? And if it wasn’t her, then why was she so nervous just now? She couldn’t figure it out.

"Don’t overthink it. I’d bet it was her!" Bai Shasha, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. She had spent all that time carefully observing Ye Duowei’s behavior.

"Why are you so sure?" Li Si was curious. Shasha had been quiet the whole time earlier.

"Who am I? A future journalist! If I weren’t keenly observant, how would I catch a good story?" Bai Shasha tossed her an arrogant look.

"Fine, fine, you’re amazing. Go on, explain it to this lowly commoner, would you?"

"When you asked for her phone number just now, her body tensed up slightly. Even though her expression didn’t change much, her breathing became noticeably uneven!"

"Makes sense! Well then, future journalist Bai, can you also answer why she’s been making those harassing calls to me?" Li Si conducted a mock interview with her while already having a vague answer in her mind.

Good thing she hadn’t developed feelings for Yin Xian, or she might have ended up being the fallback plan!

"Are you playing dumb? Do I really need to say it? It’s as simple as her being jealous of you and engaging in petty revenge." Bai Shasha said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You’re brilliant! My admiration for you at this moment is like the mighty Yangtze River, flowing endlessly!"

"Hurry and escort this queen back to the palace, Lizi!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The two burst into laughter.

Zhou Rou returned home that day. Although being a cashier wasn’t exhausting, standing for such a long time and wearing high heels for the sake of beauty had left her very tired.

"Xiao Rou, you’re back! Your face doesn’t look great today," Mrs. Zhou noted. Although she often said harsh things, she genuinely cared for her daughter. Noticing her lackluster state, she immediately asked out of concern.

"I’m fine. By the way, Mom, did you talk to Li Si’s second aunt about that thing I mentioned a few days ago?"

"Funny you should ask. Right after you mentioned it, I ran into her at Central Market yesterday and brought it up. I told her everything," Mrs. Zhou said excitedly, continuing, "And she knows a lot of people—she even said she’d introduce some potential matches for you and your brother! When do you have time? I can drop off some photos of you both at her office."

Zhou Rou scrunched up her face in irritation. "Why let her introduce us? The kind of people she knows couldn’t possibly have good qualifications. And even if they did, do you really think she’d set them up with us? Don’t you know how things stand between us?"

Mrs. Zhou’s expression turned awkward—her face red and pale by turns. It was then that she realized: Given Zhang Meihua’s personality, she’d never allow her to live better than her unless pigs started flying!

"Ah, now that you’ve said it, I understand. Relying on others is no match for relying on oneself! Xiao Rou, aren’t there any promising guys among the customers at your store?"

"Even if there are, so what? Most of them already have wives!" Zhou Rou couldn’t help but think back to the afternoon meeting, where Cui Hao had formally introduced Assistant Jiang and mentioned that the boss behind the scenes was Mr. Leng. He even warned that if anyone kept spreading gossip, they’d face immediate dismissal!

If the man behind it all really was that Mr. Leng, then it would all make sense. There was no way Li Si could have that much money, and it was unthinkable that a mere college student could boss around Manager Cui—no one would believe that!

Thinking of Mr. Leng, her heart raced. Recently, she’d been fantasizing every night—how wonderful it would be if he fell in love with her. At that point, wouldn’t anything she wanted be easily within reach?

But the problem was, Li Si wasn’t exactly cooperating with her lately. If she could somehow use her relationship with Li Si to connect with Mr. Leng, how could he not like her? Again, it was Li Si—Li Si!

How had she not only become prettier than before but also sharper? Back in high school, Zhou Rou had often been the recipient of her generosity—buying snacks, sharing treats, always with an extra portion for her. Why couldn’t things go back to the way they were?
