After traveling through time, I relied on rich people’s gossip to reach the top of my life.

Chapter 12 Reception
After eating and drinking, the two wandered on the street for a while before they separated.

When Li Xi returned home, Luo Jingxuan was not there.

Luo Jingxuan is a workaholic, Li Xi can feel this both in the original article and in getting along with him these two days.

What puzzled Li Xi was why Luo Jingxuan became a workaholic.Luo Jingxuan has been investigating the accident involving Luo's father and Luo's mother, but at the end of the original text, Luo Jingxuan did not find out, and there was no follow-up.On the contrary, Shen Zhou, as the male protagonist, accidentally learned the truth and coerced and induced Luo Da and Luo San to act as insiders in the business war and work with him to cannibalize the Luo family.

That is the business war in which Li Xi betrayed Luo Jingxuan in the original text.

From the perspective of the male protagonist, this is no problem.But if it were Luo Jingxuan, the logic would be a bit unreasonable.

Luo Jingxuan always suspected that his parents' accident was not an accident, and he never gave up the investigation.It's just that when something happened, he was still young and incapable of finding out the truth.In the following years, I was bullied for a long time due to the unexpected death of my parents. I lived a depressed life for a long time, and I became more or less mentally ill.

Such a person, after he became full-fledged, did not devote all his efforts to investigating the truth of the year, but concentrated on his work.It seems that he has forgotten his parents' accident, his life of being bullied, and the gloom in his heart.

Does this make sense?

If you want to say that he is the male protagonist and is devoted to the sun, then that's it.He is the villain boss character.Apart from fighting in the ring with the male protagonist and defeating the male protagonist, he did nothing like a villain and worked hard all day long.

Is this reasonable?

Anyway, Li Xi thought it was quite unreasonable.While reading the novel, I still felt a little bit sorry for him.

Although, this feeling of distress had already dissipated when he saw Luo Jingxuan's freezing face.

Now, Li Xi is also very lucky that Luo Jingxuan's character is a workaholic, otherwise it would be too much to face an iceberg beauty every day.

There was no iceberg beauty to air-condition this night, so Li Xi slept soundly.

When I woke up the next morning, I didn't see Luo Jingxuan, and my mood was even brighter.

After leisurely wandering for most of the day, we had another early dinner.Li Xi wandered out of the door.

When I arrived at Hemerocallis Studio, I didn’t have time to say much, so I started applying makeup directly.Su Yu came early in the morning, and when Li Xi arrived, the makeup work had already been finished.

"You're here at this hour, aren't you going to have dinner with your husband at home?" Su Yu couldn't help but feel sad when she mentioned the word "husband". How could such a beautiful woman get married blindly?
Hearing what she said, Li Xi didn't think anything of it, and replied to her in a good-tempered manner, "It's okay, I just overslept during my nap."

Tang Tang, who was holding a makeup brush, was shocked.It wasn't that Su Yu's tone was so sour, but that she imagined the scene of Luo Jingxuan and his beloved wife having dinner together with smiles on their faces.Just couldn't see it.

He was worried that his words would damage Luo Jingxuan and ruin the relationship between the newlyweds.

Although they all knew the reason why Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi got married, they would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage.It's not bad for such a lovely girl like Li Xi to cultivate with Luo Jingxuan.

So Tang Tang simply shut up and focused on the work at hand.

Li Xi and Su Yu didn't talk much.The makeup hands and tools were moving around on the face, and she was talking frequently, and her mouth could easily kiss Tang Tang's hand.Li Xi simply pursed her lips and said nothing, only letting go of her lips when applying lipstick.

By the time Li Xi's makeup was finished, it was almost time to go to the reception.The two of them greeted Tang Tang and took Li Xi's exclusive driver's car to the Miladon Hotel.

They were almost at the door when Li Xi remembered to ask, "Aren't we almost sure that Shen Zhou is a scumbag? Why do we still come to the cocktail party to see him?"

"..."

Speaking of which, the two of them got the invitation letter to the cocktail party first, and then discussed whether Shen Zhou was a scumbag or not.When the two of them chatted later, they both tended to regard Shen Zhou as a scumbag.

But no one proposed not to attend the reception, but instead prepared their dresses and makeup happily.

Now that I think about it, I feel something is wrong.It seemed that both of them had forgotten that there was an option not to go to the reception.Is it because the plot is too powerful?After all, this cocktail party is considered an important plot point in the original text.

It's not impossible to go back home now, but since you're here, it's good to watch the show by the way.

Su Yu thought for a long time and said, "I'm here now. Let's have fun."

The two reached an agreement and entered the venue with the invitation letter.

Before Li Xi traveled through time, he also attended a cocktail party organized by the company.However, the scale was not large, and the purpose of the event was to reward employees. The attendees were all colleagues, and they were dressed casually.The atmosphere is similar to a gathering with friends.

Before coming, Li Xi had already thought that the cocktail parties held by wealthy families and large companies should be different from the "wine parties" he had experienced.Really, it was only when Li Xi came to the scene that he realized that something was different, completely different at all.Not to mention the obvious things like venue, drinks, food, and clothing, the difference lies in the amount of money.

What's really different is the atmosphere.

At the cocktail parties that Li Xi had attended before, the main theme was eating and drinking.Everyone also chats, but most of the topics are about family issues.

The theme of the cocktail party I am attending now is celebration, but the main theme is social interaction.There are many people, but not noisy.There was food, but almost no one ate anything. They only had small cakes.

Although everyone had a glass of wine, few people actually drank it, that is, they took a sip while chatting with others.

It was both Li Xi's and Su Yu's first time to attend such a cocktail party, so they were inevitably a little nervous and couldn't help but look around.

The two beautifully dressed little girls were very eye-catching in themselves, and in this state, they quickly attracted the attention of a group of people.

Seeing a group of well-dressed men and women walking towards them, Li Xi was okay, after all, she didn't recognize most of them.

Su Yu's expression changed instantly.He took Li Xi and introduced him, "Those who came here are all Lu Wantang's friends. They are all young masters and ladies from wealthy families. They bullied me a lot before. Although I am not afraid, they are very annoying."

When Su Yu said this, Li Xi looked at the faces of several people carefully.Looking at it, I found the "bully" who had fought with Su Yu in the mall that day.Among them is his cheap sister Li Meng.

No wonder I always felt like someone was watching me that day, and it turned out to be Li Meng.Fortunately, he didn't recognize anyone at the time. If he had known that Li Meng was there, Li Xi would have gone over to take the video.

The title "stepsister bullying scene.gif" must be very exciting.

While Li Xi was thinking wildly, the group of "not easy to mess with" young masters and ladies had already arrived in front of the two of them.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in the lead, who was wearing a fragrant grandma's haute couture, was holding a drink in one hand and holding her chest in the other. Her words were full of arrogance, "Hey, isn't this the wild pheasant that the Lu family just found? Why did you come to the reception instead of playing with your Two-dimensional?"

Without waiting for Su Yu to answer, he continued, "Oh, yes, the protagonist of this cocktail party is Brother Shen Zhou. You want to come to see him, right?" He snorted contemptuously, "You don't even know what you are, either. I dare to miss Brother Shen Zhou."

Uncle can tolerate being ridiculed in person, but aunt cannot.Su Yu immediately wanted to step forward and give someone a slap in the face.But Li Xi grabbed him.

"Hey, where did this wild dog come from? It barks when it catches people. Does it have rabies?"

"Who are you calling a wild dog?"

"You're going to scold whoever answers the phone?"

"You!" Grandma Xiang was so angry that she threw the wine in her hand in Li Xi's direction without thinking. Li Xi took action long before she got angry.Stepping to the side, not only did he avoid it, but he also pulled a little boy watching the theater next to him to block the knife.

The boy's face was splashed with wine, and the boy who was smiling just now changed his face instantly, "Zhao Yuan! You are looking for death!"

Zhao Yuan was also panicked. She looked at the gloomy face of the boy opposite and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Turning around and seeing Li Xi's half-smiling look, she felt uneasy and turned to anger, "It's her, what I want to splash is She, she is the one who used you to stop drinking."

The boy glanced at Li Xi, who smiled sweetly at him and said, "I am also a victim. We can form a victim alliance. Pen refill." After he finished, he showed his heart to others.

Attracted by Li Xi's smile, the boy turned to stare at Zhao Yuan, "You spilled the wine, how dare you blame others? You are so irresponsible, how did your parents teach you?"

Being scolded and humiliated in public, Zhao Yuan couldn't keep her face, so she didn't even apologize. She just gave Su Yu and Li Xi a vicious look, "Wait for me." After saying that, she picked up her skirt and ran away.

The boy who had his drink thrown at him sighed angrily, "What the hell?" and left.

Li Xi thought that he probably went to change clothes.

The remaining people looked at each other in confusion, hesitated and dispersed.In an instant, only Li Xi, Su Yu, and an arrogant Li Meng were left.

"I said, have you become tough after marrying into a rich family? No one dares to choke? Tsk." Li Meng didn't call anyone, and there was a hint of admonishment in his tone.

Li Xi secretly spat out something bad, but she didn't forgive anyone.

"Heh, do you think the daughter of a superior mistress also likes to be a mistress?"
