Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 715 Look how insightful President Bai is!

After Lu Yuanqiu asked the question, the living room fell silent.

The expressions on everyone's faces were priceless; even Bai Qingxia's eyes were wide open, looking quite surprised.

Li Bowen obviously knew Ruan Yueru, and given the basketball incident, it's not surprising that Lu Yuanqiu connected the two.

Before this, they could hardly have imagined that Li Bowen from No. 10 Middle School would know Ruan Yueru from No. 7 Middle School. What a coincidence!

If that's the case... could it be understood that the girl Li Bowen secretly admires is actually Ruan Yueru?
Cao Shuang fell silent, his expression blank. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at his good friend's expression and repeated to Li Bowen, who was also stunned, "Is it Ruan Yueru?"

"Yes...yes." Li Bowen's throat bobbed, feeling a bit awkward, like being stripped naked and scrutinized. He then asked in surprise, "So you two know each other? No wonder she was so sure I couldn't beat you at basketball...By the way, are you two very close?"

Cao Shuang's gaze remained fixed on the wooden horse that had been "split in two." Since Li Bowen was so certain that the other wooden horse was with Ruan Yueru, it felt as if this wooden horse was the only token of their love. This conclusion left Cao Shuang's mind in a state of confusion.

Lu Yuanqiu: "We are indeed very familiar with each other...and we are both from No. 7 Middle School, so it's not surprising that we know each other."

Li Bowen: "But you're not in the same grade."

"But we've played games together."

"Just because you've played a game together doesn't mean you have to be very familiar with each other, right?"

"that is because……"

This time, Lu Yuanqiu didn't finish his sentence.

He turned to look at Cao Shuang, his face showing a troubled expression of "Brother, how am I supposed to explain this to this kid?" The reason they were so close to Ruan Yueru was because of Cao Shuang's relationship with Ruan Yueru.

If Cao Shuang had been any more assertive and confirmed his relationship with Ruan Yueru, Lu Yuanqiu would have been able to boldly say: "Because she is my brother's girlfriend!"
"Why is that..." Li Bowen unconsciously became a little wary and asked with a keen sense of smell.

He was sizing up Cao Shuang.

“Ruan Yueru and I are good friends,” Cao Shuang readily replied. “And you, how did you meet her?”

Li Bowen: "We've known each other since we were kids. We were in the same class in elementary and middle school, and our parents also kept in touch."

"Childhood sweethearts."

"uh-huh."

Does she know that you like her?

"Pfft!" Li Bowen almost choked on his own saliva, his face flushed as he looked at Cao Shuang: "You really caught me off guard by changing the subject like that."

Zheng Yifeng put down the photo in his hand. He also felt that the topic had changed too quickly. Shouldn't today be a meeting between a nephew and his uncle? How did it turn into a meeting between rivals in love?

He and Su Miaomiao walked to the sofa and sat down next to Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia.

The four of them sized up the two people like onlookers.

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at the clock: "It's still early, let's chat. When did you start liking her?"

Cao Shuang also appeared to be listening attentively.

Li Bowen sat quietly for a moment, his neck drooping, scratching his head: "The main thing is that she's changed so much lately, she's gone from a tomboy to... to a woman, it feels weird..."

Lu Yuanqiu: "That's weird?"

Li Bowen touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "It's kind of cute."

Lu Yuanqiu subtly raised his hand to cover his mouth, hiding the smile that he couldn't quite suppress on his face.

Bai Qingxia turned her head to glance at him.

Lu Yuanqiu seemed to sense something, and became serious, performing a breathing exercise in front of Bai Qingxia.

In his opinion, Ruan Yueru's change must be because she had someone she liked. However, it wasn't a good time to bring it up. Both Li Bowen and Ruan Yueru were about to take the college entrance exam. If this kid was impatient and went to Ruan Yueru to ask her questions, it would affect both of them. "Xiaowen, dinner is almost ready. Tell your friends to get ready to eat."

The nanny came out of the kitchen and called out.

"Alright! Let's eat first, everyone."

In the restaurant, Cao Shuang, realizing that she seemed to be sitting next to Li Bowen, deliberately went around to sit diagonally opposite Li Bowen, so Lu Yuanqiu could only squeeze closer to Bai Qingxia.

Li Bowen glanced at the empty seat next to him, then looked up at the opposite side, looking a little confused. However, he didn't pay much attention to it and immediately picked up his bowl to eat, showing no airs of being the host.

"Speaking of which...nephew, did you know that my sister passed away in the United States?" Li Bowen's mouth was full of food, and his speech was somewhat unclear.

Zheng Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "I know."

He thought his maternal grandparents' version of events was also about the car accident in Lucheng... It seems this was just a reason his father made up, and Zheng Yifeng actually believed it for over ten years.

"Do you know how your sister died?" Zheng Yifeng asked tentatively.

Li Bowen didn't think it was a topic that couldn't be discussed in public, and nodded directly: "I know, it's the flu. It's strange, is the medical level in that place really that bad?"

Is this yet another version of the story emerging?

Both Lu Yuanqiu and Zheng Yifeng felt a sense of doubt.

If the "murder" mentioned in the letter is true, then Li Bowen obviously doesn't know the truth either.

Lu Yuanqiu had a lot of questions, but it would be better if Zheng Yifeng raised them.

Zheng Yifeng: "Did your parents tell you this?"

"Ah."

"Ok."

It seems we won't get any useful information from Li Bowen.

The main purpose of this trip was to confirm two things. First, to ask my maternal grandparents if they knew the true cause of my mother's death.

The second thing was to find out from my maternal grandparents where my mother was in the United States back then, and whether there was anyone I could contact.

After finishing their meal, it wasn't appropriate for Lu Yuanqiu and the other two to stay there and wait. After saying goodbye to Zheng Yifeng, they left Li Bowen's house.

outside the community.

"What's wrong? You look so down." Lu Yuanqiu patted Cao Shuang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Li Bowen has a crush on her, it's not like he's already dating Ruan Yueru."

Cao Shuang sighed and squatted down by the roadside: "I always felt that the two of them were a better match. They're so handsome, they're from similar social classes, they're childhood sweethearts, they're inseparable... Damn it, who am I?"

“If it were before, if I met a guy who liked the same girl as me, I would definitely have told him to his face. But this time, I couldn’t say it at all. I felt like a joke.”

His tone grew increasingly forlorn as he spoke.

After hearing this, Bai Qingxia also squatted down on the other side, seemingly empathizing with the situation.

Standing in the middle, Lu Yuanqiu looked around and could only squat down as well. The three of them squatted on the side of the road outside the community, the green leaves above their heads rustling in the wind.

"Actually, all you need to do is make sure that Ruan Yueru likes you," Bai Qingxia suddenly said, lifting her mouth from her folded arms.

Cao Shuang turned his head and met Lu Yuanqiu's gaze. Feeling that he was in the way, Lu Yuanqiu leaned back, revealing Bai Qingxia's pure and beautiful profile.

“Look how insightful President Bai is,” Lu Yuanqiu said, pouting.
