After Transmigrating, I Reached the Pinnacle of Life by Relying on Rich Family Gossip

Li Xi, a new media professional, transmigrated into a book and became the infamous beautiful waste of Jiangcheng. Her biological father didn't care for her, her stepmother didn't love her, ...

Chapter 37 Birthday Banquet 2

"Hello, uncle." Li Xi's smile had not faded yet, so she greeted him with a bright face, as if she was very happy to be introduced to the Luo family.

Luo Ren hummed a light agreement and fell silent. Xiao Lin took over, saying, "This is Xixi, so beautiful. I'm Jingxuan's aunt, and I'll be your aunt from now on."

Xiao Lin wanted to take Li Xi's hand, but she was standing while Li Xi was sitting. If she wanted to take Li Xi's hand, she would either bend down or Li Xi would reach out. Li Xi would not take the initiative, and Xiao Lin, relying on her status as an elder, would not lower herself.

The result was that Xiao Lin's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, neither advancing nor retreating. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Then Li Xi stretched out her hand, but not to pull Xiao Lin, but to spread out her palm and ask for money, "Aunt, this is the first time we meet and the first time I change my words, so I have to pay a meeting fee and a change of words fee." Li Xi looked at Xiao Lin with a smile, and didn't think there was anything wrong with asking for money.

Even Xiao Lin, who was used to seeing a lot of things, was shocked by Li Xi's behavior. She awkwardly placed her hand on Li Xi's outstretched hand and said, "I'm sorry, Xixi, I didn't think of this before. I don't have a red envelope with me. I'll give it to you later."

"I don't mind transferring money, or you can just give me the card directly, auntie." Li Xi deliberately used a playful "da" at the end. People who didn't know the truth would just think she was acting coquettishly, instead of embarrassing Xiao Lin.

Even Luo Ren, standing by, thought Li Xi was unpresentable. She was obsessed with money. He didn't even bother to pay Li Xi any attention, and instead pulled Luo Jingxuan aside to talk about work.

Li Xi paid close attention and understood immediately that Luo Ren was not talking about work with Luo Jingxuan. He was clearly trying to get information from Luo Jingxuan about the previous acquisition of Zhao's industry and the company's next investment projects.

It seemed like he was just jumping on the bandwagon to make some money. Luo Jingxuan answered every question, but Li Xi felt like he was just talking bullshit. Luo Ren asked how he knew the Zhao family was going to be in trouble and was planning to swallow up their assets. Luo Jingxuan replied that he had inside information. Luo Ren then asked how the acquired assets would be managed. Luo Jingxuan replied that a professional team would plan. Luo Ren then asked what projects the company planned to invest in next quarter. Luo Jingxuan replied that the relevant departments were working on the plan.

Listening to their conversation, Li Xi instantly recalled the nonsense literature that was very popular on the Internet.

If I said nothing wrong, then I said nothing wrong.

Li Xi was so happy when she recalled this that she almost forgot that there was Xiao Lin chattering beside her. While Li Xi was eavesdropping on the conversation, Xiao Lin had already sat down next to her and was holding her hand.

"Xixi, how are you getting along with Jingxuan? It was your aunt who brought you together. If you're doing well, don't forget to thank me, your aunt. I have to say that although Jingxuan is a little cold, he is still caring. He often buys things for his two sisters, which makes me feel embarrassed. By the way, I haven't introduced her to you yet. This is your cousin Luo Xingming." As he said that, he took Luo Xingming's hand and placed it together with Li Xi's hand.

He turned around again and pointed at Luo Jingting standing next to him, "This is your cousin Luo Jingting."

Li Xi pulled her hand back uncomfortably, but didn't pull it back. She curled her lips and greeted, "Hello, cousin." Without waiting for a reply from either of them, Li Xi turned to talk to Xiao Lin, "Aunt said you were the one who brought Jingxuan and me together. How did you do it? As someone involved, how could I not know?"

"Uh." Xiao Lin was used to speaking politely, so when she heard such a blunt question, she didn't know how to respond for a moment. She paused for a long time before finding her voice. "At that time, the old man had someone calculate my horoscope to see if I was compatible with Jingxuan. I asked around and found out about you, so I told your parents about it. I am your matchmaker, after all."

"Oh~" Li Xi changed the tone of the simple word "oh" several times, saying it in a thousand ways. "I just told my parents about this matter. I didn't say anything extra."

"Haha, since we're going to tie the knot, of course we'll tell both sides the situation."

"I see. Then should I thank my aunt for bringing us together?"

"No, no, we are all family, hehe." Xiao Lin smiled gently and patted the back of Li Xi's hand.

"Ha." Li Xi imitated Xiao Lin and patted Luo Xingming's hand. "Auntie is such a good matchmaker. I guess she has found a husband for my cousin. I wonder what kind of family they are?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Lin's smile froze on her face, and Luo Xingming's expression also changed.

It's just a weird thing, everyone does that.
