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

Chapter 41 Birthday Banquet (End)

"Granddaughter-in-law!"

The one shouting loudly was today's protagonist, Grandpa Luo, who was supposed to be fishing in the pond in the yard.

Now wearing a straw hat, a vest and large trousers, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket in the other, he walked quickly from the door towards Li Xi and the others, with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing him like this, Li Xi couldn't help laughing. The old man was still as lively as ever.

Before the old man walked up to the two of them, Li Xi pulled Luo Jingxuan to stand up together and gave the old man a sweet smile, "Grandpa, happy birthday."

"Hahaha, have fun together." Mr. Luo, probably wanting to pat Li Xi on the shoulder, raised his hand holding the fishing rod.Halfway through carrying it, I remembered that there was something else in my hand, and hurriedly called for the servant to get it.

After throwing away what he was holding, Mr. Luo turned around and smiled at Li Xi, preparing to repeat his same trick.Li Xi recalled the weight of Grandpa Luo's slap, and before Grandpa Luo made a move, he pulled Luo Jingxuan in front of him.

In the end, Grandpa Luo's slap fell on Luo Jingxuan.Luo Jingxuan was unprepared. He was pulled first by Li Xi and then patted by Grandpa Luo, almost staggering.Fortunately, he was steady and didn't make a fool of himself in front of so many people.

"Grandpa, you just caught fish and you smell fishy. Go and wash it off."

Grandpa Luo was unhappy. He stopped smiling and pouted, "Who am I fishing for? It's not just so that you and my granddaughter-in-law can have something fresh to eat. Forget it if you don't appreciate it. You still dislike the old man's fishy smell, so... I’ve never seen such an ignorant grandson like you!”

The old man became more and more angry as he talked, and finally he groaned a few times.After smelling the smell of both hands again, he used the hand holding the fish bucket to grab Luo Jingxuan's arm and pull him aside.

He looked at Li Xi with a smile on his face again, "My grandson, we won't play with this piece of wood. Come on, tell me grandpa, is this piece of wood good for you? How much pocket money did you give?"

Probably when I smelled my hands just now, I did smell some fishy smell. Now Grandpa Luo stopped pretending to take pictures of Li Xi, so he stood across from Luo Jingxuan, fearing that the smell on his body would be completely suffocated. Granddaughter-in-law.

Seeing the old man's disgusted look on Luo Jingxuan's face, Li Xi felt happy. This was the boss in the original novel who could compete with the destiny hero, but he was defeated in front of him.

Although we get along with each other on a daily basis, I don't feel that he is unattainable day by day.But it's still very pleasant to be able to see Bingcube's crumpled face at such a close distance.

"Grandpa, don't dislike him. He is very kind to me and very generous. I can spend my pocket money casually. Besides, grandpa still owes me a greeting gift. If I am short of money, I will come and buy grandpa's treasure. Hehe hey-hey."

When they talked about the meeting gift, Mr. Luo and Luo Jingxuan both remembered the embarrassing scene when they first met, and their expressions froze.Of course, no one could tell that Luo Jingxuan's cold face was frozen.

Mr. Luo reacted quickly, froze for a moment, and immediately smiled again, "Grandpa's treasure, if you want to take it, just take it. But many of these treasures are registered in the collecting world, and everyone knows that the things are there You can't sell it here. If you are really short of money, you should ask Jingxuan for it, he has money. Hehehehe."

Li Xi looked at the smile on Mr. Luo's face and couldn't help but want to tease him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mr. Luo and Mr. Luo's family coming this way. He had bad intentions again and deliberately raised his voice to ensure that They could all hear, "Why would I want to sell grandpa's treasures? They are grandpa's treasures and my treasures. It's not too late for my treasures. Besides, today, my uncle and third uncle have promised to give me a gift." Yeah. It seems like it’s going to be tens of millions or something. I’ll tell grandpa when the money arrives.”

"Hahaha, okay, okay! I'm telling you, the elders can't shortchange the new wife's meeting gift. It must be tens of millions, but it can't be too little."

Mr. Luo was so cooperative, Li Xi became even happier and smiled brighter, "I don't know, Uncle Gang and Third Uncle didn't say how much they would give, they just said they would give it. I'm still waiting for a surprise!"

"Hahaha, not bad, I didn't expect these two boys to play surprises with juniors at their age. Hahaha."

Mr. Luo smiled happily, and Li Xi also laughed happily.Only Luo Ren and Luo Li suffered. People were walking aside, and the pot came from Li Xi's mouth.Previously, it was said that the meeting gift was a verbal conversation between a few people. After Mr. Luo heard about it, he had to give it even if he didn't give it.

Luo Ren, Luo Li, Xiao Lin, and Luo Xingyue's faces were not very good-looking.

Luo Jingting felt that the matter had nothing to do with him. He was in charge of the company anyway, and the head office received dividends every year. He was not that obsessed with his parents' money.

Luo Xingming could get pocket money from Luo Jingxuan every month. His parents gave Li Xi money, and Luo Jingxuan would most likely give him more pocket money next month. The money was transferred around and finally came in. Your own pocket, no loss.

Yunmei really didn't take it seriously, but was a little happy. Although Luo Li would not treat her badly, most of his money was spent on those snails.After spending this money, Luo Li's pockets will be empty for a while, and he probably won't be able to see snails for a while.She would be happy if she could spend more time on herself.

Li Xi saw the downcast faces of several people from the corner of his eye, and allowed himself to laugh for a while, then "accidentally turned around" and discovered the presence of several people, pretending to be surprised and said, "Ah, I didn't see it just now, uncle and aunt, Third uncle, third aunt, cousin, two cousins, you are here."

Luo Ren and Luo Li ignored her lazily, while Xiao Lin gave an ugly smile and didn't want to speak.In the end, it was Yun Mei who answered, "I saw Xingyue's grandfather coming in, so we came together to say hello."

After saying that, he turned to look at Mr. Luo, "Dad, happy birthday."

"Let's have fun together." As if he didn't notice the dark faces of Luo Ren and Luo Li, Grandpa Luo still smiled happily.

Li Xi also saw that although Mr. Luo was usually aloof, he still had some prestige among his sons.Luo Ren and Luo Li had dark faces, obviously not wanting to give Li Xi a gift of tens of millions.But because of Mr. Luo's face, he didn't refute Li Xi.

After Mr. Luo spoke, the two of them also softened their expressions and said to Mr. Luo one after another, "Happy birthday, Dad."

Mr. Luo smiled as usual and said "Let's have fun together", then turned to talk to Li Xi, "You look a little more mellow than when we last met. It seems that Jingxuan is indeed very good to you. Not bad, not bad ." Then he looked Li Xi up and down again, "This girl just needs to dress up and be energetic! Whatever you want or want in the future, just tell Jingxuan and let him buy it for you. If he If I don’t buy it for you, just call grandpa and grandpa will tell him for you!”

"Okay. Thank you Grandpa."

"If he dares to bully you." Grandpa Luo paused and looked at Luo Jingxuan seriously, "If he dares to bully you, you also tell grandpa and he will help you teach him a lesson!"

Li Xi smiled and said yes.

Luo Jingxuan looked at Li Xi's triumphant look on his face, and then looked at Mr. Luo's protective look on his calf. He was a little speechless. His feelings were not his own?Is it Li Xi?

"Grandpa, I didn't bully her. I gave her enough pocket money."

"Huh! It's best!" Mr. Luo didn't even look at Luo Jingxuan, but only gave various instructions to Li Xi.Why do you have to watch Luo Jingxuan and stop fooling around outside? If the people under your command are disobedient, just replace them; don't save money for Luo Jingxuan and just buy whatever you want.

A lot of verbosity.Li Xi didn't find it annoying, but was a little flattered, so she agreed with a smile.

She was not impatient, but Luo Xingyue next to her was not in a good mood. When Grandpa Luo asked Li Xi to take care of Luo Jingxuan again, he spoke in an impatient tone, "Grandpa, this matter between the young couple, What do you care about? Whether she has money to spend, whether her man is fooling around, what does it have to do with you? "

As soon as she said these words, not only Grandpa Luo and Li Xi's expressions changed, but also Luo Jingxuan and Yun Mei's expressions changed.

"Third daughter-in-law, is this how you teach your daughter? Why should she interrupt what the adults are saying!" Grandpa Luo's smile faded and he became serious.

Li Xi didn't know whether he was angry because Luo Xingyue interrupted, or because Luo Xingyue was disrespectful in his words.However, if the old man wanted to train people, it was for his own sake. Li Xi's gossip radar was instantly activated. Unfortunately, he was the person involved. This would involve him being involved in the "rich family gossip talk" and it would be easy for him to be exposed, so he would just watch the show silently.

"Dad, Xingyue is still young and not sensible. We will talk about her when we get back." Yun Mei said calmly.

"Huh!" Mr. Luo didn't say anything, he just put his hands behind his back and looked at Luo Xingyue expressionlessly.

At this moment, Luo Xingyue also knew that she had made the old man unhappy by saying something wrong, but she couldn't help but apologize, lowering her head and saying nothing.Yun Mei pulled the hem of Luo Xingyue's clothes and looked at Li Xi apologetically.

After all, it was the old man's birthday, so there was nothing left to do but bickering and taunting others. Li Xi didn't want to make the scene too ugly.Luo Jingxuan crossed over and tugged on the old man's clothes, softening his voice and saying, "Grandpa, you see it's late today and I'm already hungry. Don't be angry. Go change clothes and get ready for dinner. I'm still I’m waiting to eat the fish you caught with your own hands!”

Li Xi didn't want to act coquettishly. Before time travel, she was used to being independent. She had to rely on herself for everything, so being coquettish was useless.After time travel, the people around me are very kind to me, and I can be as coquettish as I want.but!This Li Xi's voice is too soft!Normally when I talk, it's fine. It's clear and crisp, but I just feel gentle.

Once she starts acting coquettishly and becomes soft and waxy, she will be very irresistible.Li Xi once acted coquettishly towards Su Yu, which made Su Yu blush. He also asked her to record her coquettish voice and listen to it for herself. It was too lethal.With so many people here today, Li Xi didn't want to act coquettishly.But Mr. Luo is so angry, or pretending to be so angry, if Luo Xingyue doesn't bow her head, someone has to give her a step back.

After much deliberation, I could only sacrifice myself.However, I felt relieved when I thought that Luo Ren and Luo Li had to give them tens of millions as a meeting gift.It's reasonable for her to act coquettishly when others spend money.

After being coquettish, Li Xi successfully convinced herself and looked calm.

Grandpa Luo picked up his grandson's daughter-in-law and happily went back to the room to change clothes.

Luo Ren and Luo Li looked at Li Xi strangely and left.Xiao Lin smiled at Li Xi and followed closely with her children.

Luo Xingyue shook off Yun Mei's hand, snorted angrily at Li Xi, and left.

Yun Mei did not leave, but only smiled sheepishly at Li Xi, "Xingyue is spoiled by us. Don't argue with her. She has no bad intentions."

Li Xi was noncommittal, but he didn't intend to fall out. He looked at Yun Mei and smiled, "Don't worry, third aunt, I won't argue with her. Besides, third uncle also wants to give me tens of millions in gifts, so just give me this gift." , I can’t be the same as my cousin, can I?”

Yun Mei smiled decently, and wanted to say something to Li Xi, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips, said hello, and went to chat with her seventh and eighth aunts.

After dealing with this group of people, Li Xi felt very tired and indeed a little hungry. Regardless of what Luo Jingxuan was thinking, he sat down on the sofa and leaned back, "I'm so tired."

"I see you are very good at dealing with them, and you even asked for such a large sum of money from your uncle and third uncle." Luo Jingxuan said and sat down.

When it comes to money, Li Xi is no longer tired and straightens her back, "They are only allowed to coax Li Yaoming into selling his daughter, but I am not allowed to extort money from them? How can this make sense."

Luo Jingxuan chuckled, "That doesn't make sense. You can just keep the money you got."

"Huh, of course I'm holding it, can I give it back to you?" Li Xi said and leaned back again.

"I don't want your money."

"It's best." Suddenly something occurred to him, and Li Xifu straightened his back again, "You won't try another way to give this money to their children, right? That's not cost-effective."

Luo Jingxuan smiled and said, "No, I promised you that what you lied about will be yours."

"That's pretty much it." Li Xi felt relieved and leaned back on the sofa.Then he thought about the issue that Grandpa Luo was struggling with before he came, and leaned in Luo Jingxuan's direction, "Well, I know a secret, but I can't tell the source of the channel. Do you want to listen?"

"What is it?" Luo Jingxuan turned his head and looked at Li Xi, who was leaning on him and biting his ear, and raised his eyebrows. This person was getting bolder and bolder.

Li Xi leaned closer to Luo Jingxuan's ear again and lowered his voice, "Luo Xingyue and Shen Zhou's sister Shen Yanran wanted to take away a school bully from their school when they were in high school. People didn't agree, so they thought about it. They tried to find a way to get rid of them. They teamed up with their classmates to bully people on campus. In the end, people couldn't stand it and jumped off the building to commit suicide."

"Where did you know that?" Luo Jingxuan frowned. If this is true, Luo Xingyue has a life-threatening lawsuit in her hands. Although she did not do it directly, if it was exposed, it would have a huge impact on the Luo family. It will be small.

"I told you not to mention the source of the channel." Li Xi became unhappy and pinched Luo Jingxuan's thigh.

Luo Jingxuan hissed in pain, and had no time to care about Li Xi's increasingly bold moves, "This is true."

"100% true. But your third uncle and eldest uncle should have swept through the whole thing, so they can't be traced easily."

"I'll ask someone to check it out."

"Then if you find out it's true, what are you going to do?" After telling the secret, Li Xi stayed away from Luo Jingxuan.

"I don't know. Of course I have to hide it for Luo's sake. But this is human life, and I can't cover it up."

Seeing Luo Jingxuan's embarrassment, Li Xi felt a little guilty, but this was a thunderbolt after all and must be dealt with as soon as possible, "I should deal with Shen Yanran in the future. Because she has capital to back her up, her reputation in the entertainment industry is very good, but If she gets involved with school bullying, she will be dead or useless. If I want to get rid of her, I will definitely use this matter. Even if there is not much evidence, relying on rumors and talking about gold, this matter can be confirmed. That's it. Luo Xingyue is involved, will this matter be exposed, will it affect the Luo family?"

"It will have some influence." Luo Jingxuan turned to look at Li Xi, "Why did you want to mess with her?"

"Just think that I have a personal grudge against her." Li Xi didn't want to say more, and Luo Jingxuan didn't want to ask.

"I will investigate this matter. If I find evidence, I will give it to you. As for Luo Xingyue." Luo Jingxuan considered his words, "Let's see what role she plays in it. If she is a key person, just ignore it." She is dead. When the time comes, Luo will issue an apology statement, sever ties with Luo Xingyue, and set up a foundation to resist school violence, and the impact will be controllable."

"What if Luo Xingyue's relationship is not big? Will you help her hide it?"

"It won't happen from a legal perspective, but from a public perspective, maybe it will happen for Rockefeller's sake."

Li Xi looked at Luo Jingxuan with a complicated expression, not sure whether he should agree with his answer.After all, in the original work, Luo Jingxuan or Luo Shi directly picked off Luo Xingyue.But Li Xi didn't believe that Luo Xingyue's role in this matter was just a minor one.After all, she and Shen Yanran are best friends!

Thinking about these things, Li Xi was a little absent-minded when eating afterwards.Grandpa Luo called her several times, but she didn't hear him.Fortunately, Grandpa Luo only thought that she was too hungry and was not paying attention. He teased her a few words and let her go.

Luo Jingxuan looked at her distraught look and guessed that his answer just now did not satisfy her, but he didn't know why she was dissatisfied.

He didn't ask any questions while eating, so he occasionally brought her some dishes. Seeing that Li Xi didn't refuse, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There were also some seven aunts and eight aunts on the table who wanted to get close to Li Xi or talk to each other.Li Xi was already absent-minded and too lazy to make excuses with them.She pretended not to hear when people sitting far away spoke to her. Anyway, she had never heard Grandpa Luo calling her before, so no one thought she did it on purpose.

Those who were closer, Li Xi saw the person put down his chopsticks and started to move his mouth, so he picked up food for Luo Jingxuan, then looked at Luo Jingxuan with a smile, and leaned closer to bite the person's ear.

Of course, there are no serious words, but you can eat this, this is delicious, what is this, how is that made, this is sweet, that is spicy.

He completely used Luo Jingxuan as a shield.When the others saw the young couple talking quietly, they didn't want to disturb them. They coughed twice to cover up, and then either changed people to talk, or picked up chopsticks to eat the food.

Luo Jingxuan knew that she was not willing to deal with it anymore, and he didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he was happy to cooperate with Li Xi.But every time Li Xi came close, the girl's breath sprayed on his neck, making him slightly uncomfortable.

But compared with the verbal bombardment from the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt, this was much better, so I selectively ignored it.

After dinner, Grandpa Luo wanted to keep the two of them at the old house for the night.

Li Xi was originally a little attracted to this courtyard, but then she thought that if the two of them stayed, wouldn't they have to share the same room?No matter whether they were sharing a bed or sleeping alone on the bed and the other on the sofa, Li Xi felt uncomfortable.

So he went back to Grandpa Luo and dragged Luo Jingxuan away from the old house as if he was running away.

After finally enjoying the old man's birthday banquet, Li Xi had no time to find another topic for "rich family gossip".

Because school is about to start!

That's right, Li Xi, a social worker for many years, is going back to school.
