Speaking of "sad things", Li Xi was not in the mood to discuss with Jing Limo how to take revenge on Lu Wantang and others, nor did she talk much about her own concerns. After expressing their determination to "kill" Li Yaoming, Li Xi left the hospital.

On the way back, Li Xi contacted Mian Lao Si and asked him to collect some scandalous information about Lu Zifeng, Shen Zhou, and Lu Wantang. It would be best if the scandals involving Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou could damage their careers. As for Lu Wantang, besides any evidence that could damage her personal ethics, it would be best if there was evidence proving that she had an intimate relationship with both Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou, excluding private photos of course.

Leaving the hospital, the cold wind blew through Li Xi's mind, and she felt a bit more clear-headed. While tit-for-tat revenge was satisfying, it also turned her into someone like the person she'd been dealing with. Revenge felt good, and with repeated use, it slowly became a habit. She gradually pushed herself beyond her limits, lowering her boundaries, and ultimately becoming the very person her original self would have found most unacceptable.

When reading the original text, Li Xi knew that Lu Wantang was not a traditional "good guy" heroine. On the contrary, she was very scheming and good at using her own advantages and the people around her to achieve her goals. Take what happened to Li Xi in the original text, for example. As someone who was in close contact with Shen Zhou every day, how could she not know about the relationship between Shen Zhou and the original text Li Xi?

No.

It's said that women have a keen sixth sense, especially when it comes to relationships, especially when it comes to Lu Wantang, who has experienced a huge change and whose mind has become extremely sensitive. Later in the original story, Shen Zhou is almost the only one left in her world, and she is completely devoted to him. How could she not notice his intimate relationships with other women?

She simply chose to remain silent, then, with her innocence and attachment, tied Shen Zhou's heart to her. As for Shen Zhou's purpose in having an intimate relationship with another woman, it didn't matter to Lu Wantang. But with her keen mind, she should have known that Shen Zhou had no feelings for the other person. As for whether he was using the other person personally or venting his desires, she didn't care. She wouldn't think of reminding the girl that Shen Zhou had a "lover", and let her sink into it.

Whether you say she is selfish or self-protective, she is definitely not as "kind" as she appears to be.

From an outsider's perspective, Li Xi still admired her. She knew exactly what she wanted and was good at using her strengths to get what she wanted. Even if she hurt others during this period, it was not her initiative. She may even have kindly "persuaded" them. All the bad things were done by the man proactively and willingly. She was just an excuse for the man, a pure little white flower.

To outsiders, she appears to be a dodder, clinging to men, sobbing and whimpering. But in reality, she's a very independent person, often outgoing. It's even fair to call her independent and self-reliant. Her actions and words are all driven by purpose. The perception of her as a dodder stems from her independence, or rather, her chosen mode of existence, which is to exploit her strengths and cling to men.

Just like there's no distinction between high and low occupations, there's no distinction between good and bad ways of living; it's just individual differences. Li Xi actually admired Lu Wantang's behavior. Of course, it wasn't admiration for her dependence on men, but rather her self-awareness and her ability to decisively choose the most advantageous way of living for herself.

However, this appreciation was limited to Li Xi being an outsider. At this moment, Lu Wantang's impulsive and self-serving behavior hurt Li Xi's friends, which was less than pleasant. It also completely destroyed the little bit of goodwill Li Xi had left for her.

Did Li Xi hate Lu Wantang? Of course she did. Did she want revenge on her? Of course she did. But she couldn't possibly hurt someone sexually, even if it was Lu Wantang.

Call her hypocritical or falsely noble, she just doesn't want to destroy someone in this way.

Of course, some might wonder, "If you've exposed her playing both sides, what's the difference between that and exposing her intimate photos?" Li Xi believes there's a difference. Maintaining intimate relationships with two men simultaneously would only create buzz about her being playful and perhaps even lead to teasing her as a "sea king." But exposing intimate photos carries a different kind of impact.

Just think of the nude photo scandal that rocked the entertainment industry. The women affected not only suffered career losses but also suffered from online bullying. The public, scornful and malicious, unleashed a torrent of malice against them. Some even openly fantasized about these female artists.

As an ordinary person, Lu Wantang's private photos wouldn't have such a huge impact. But once they were spread, people would know about them and see them. By then, netizens' comments about her wouldn't just be "mild" comments about her having fun and letting go. They would likely be more filthy and malicious.

As for the men who appear in intimate photos, not only will they not be attacked maliciously, but they will also receive a lot of "sympathy" - look, the girl you hold in your hands is actually very slutty, cheap and coquettish, you have been cuckolded, it's pitiful and lamentable...

Li Xi: "..." The Internet is not a lawless place, please be more polite!

In short, to put it simply, Li Xi didn't want to make Lu Wantang "famous" in this way. It would be enough to just destroy her reputation and plot against her. There was really no need for personal attacks.

After instructing Mian Lao Si to find evidence, Li Xi considered how to fundamentally undermine Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou. Exposing some of their scandals would indeed have a certain impact on their careers. After all, both companies were listed companies, and scandals involving their core management (both of whom were like the crown princes of the company) would likely affect the company's stock price, thus negatively impacting their work.
