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 49: The Eve of the Banquet

After dinner, Su Yu and Lu Xiaoran took Li Xi to visit the garden. First they looked at the exotic flowers and plants, then visited the pavilions and towers.

Walking in the landscape garden, Li Xi couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, it was September now, the sun got dark later, and the weather in the evening was comfortable. If it were winter, it would be pitch black and the wind would be cold, which would really not be suitable for strolling in the garden.

The Lu family's back garden is truly remarkable, however. It's exquisitely detailed, with winding paths, flowing water, and a rich sense of depth. While it's not as impressive as the imperial gardens of the Summer Palace and Old Summer Palace, which Li Xi had visited, or the private gardens of Jiangnan, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden, the overall charm of the garden is quite impressive. For a wealthy family's private garden, it's quite impressive.

Li Xi had no doubt that if Lu's residence was open to the public, there would definitely be many people willing to pay to come and visit the garden.

After strolling around the garden and digesting the meal, Su Yu took Li Xi back to the room. It was a guest room, but not far from Su Yu's room.

It is said that the room Su Yu was assigned to after returning was arranged by Lu's mother. She said it was the room with the best lighting and the largest area in the villa. In fact, it was quite far away from the rooms of other people in the Lu family.

In the past, Su Yu felt wronged and wanted to be closer to her family, but now, she felt that this was just right. The room itself was in good condition and quiet.

When Li Xi agreed to stay, Su Yu had originally planned to let her share a room with her. The room was large, the bed was big enough, and it was perfectly adequate for the two of them, but Li Xi declined. Just kidding, Li Xi hadn't slept in the same bed with anyone in years (don't get me wrong, the "others" here were only women), and with Su Yu's personality, if Li Xi were to sleep with her, she'd definitely be taken advantage of.

Even if it was just for the sake of her own "innocence", Li Xi would not agree to live in the same room with Su Yu. Su Yu had no choice but to ask the servants to clean up a guest room. Worried that the servants would be lazy, Su Yu watched them from beginning to end.

After sending Li Xi back to her room, Lu Xiaoran wanted to stay and chat or play games for a while. But Su Yu slapped him on the back of the head and kicked him away. What a joke! Even if it was a guest room, it was still a girl's room. Why was he, a man, joining in the fun?

Watching the siblings playfully playing, Li Xi felt relieved. It was also good that her time travel could give them a different ending than the original novel.

Su Yu's ending, needless to say, was tragic. Absolutely tragic. She was rejected and slapped in the face by the person she loved, abandoned and driven away by her family. In the end, she was left alone, helpless, and filled with hatred. But what had she done wrong? She simply desired a little love from her family, a longing for a relationship all her own.

It is somewhat narrow-minded to classify her as a vicious female supporting role just because she stood on the opposite side of Lu Wantang.

As for Lu Xiaoran, he simply preferred his biological sister, Su Yu, and when Lu Wantang and Su Yu clashed, he believed her more. This led to Lu Wantang holding a grudge against him. Not only did she scheme to deprive him of his inheritance and shareholding, she also persuaded Lu's father, Lu's mother, and Lu Zifeng to trick him into a barbaric country, cutting off his financial resources and leaving him to fend for himself abroad.

Although the original novel did not explicitly state Lu Xiaoran's ending, it is unlikely to be any better.

When Li Xi first came here, she had no intention of interacting with the main characters. Even Shen Zhou, who had harmed her original self in the original novel, hadn't considered revenge. After all, she had finally become a well-fed and well-off young lady with a wealthy and handsome husband. Li Xi felt that she could enjoy her retirement life early, just being a good-for-nothing, and being a pretty good-for-nothing was fine.

But sometimes, fate is so wonderful. She met Su Yu, met Mian Lao Si, and accidentally heard the gossip about Zhao Haoran. Everyone and everything urged her to move forward. Now she not only actively participates in the plot, but also maintains a self-media account dedicated to exposing the gossip of wealthy families.

The relationship with Luo Jingxuan is also much better than the original text. They can have dinner together and chat about gossip, and can also take advantage of Luo Jingxuan's favor.

If you think about it, it's quite incredible.

Li Xi's current thinking is to take things one step at a time, go as far as she can, and get along with people as they can. She won't force things, won't agree with others, and won't compromise.

"Rich Family Gossip Talk" is here to stay. When there's no big gossip, you can share some small gossip. Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, as long as it piques people's curiosity.

For example, recently, after posting the follow-up to the Zhao Haoran incident, there had been no major gossip to share with them. Su Yu was busy with the birthday banquet again. She certainly didn't need her help with the preparations, but this was her first official appearance as a daughter of the Lu family, so her manners and conversation couldn't be bad. So, in the period leading up to the banquet, Grandpa Lu had someone specifically trained Su Yu. He wasn't trying to turn her into a ladylike lady in a short time, but at least he wanted her to not embarrass the Lu family at the banquet.

The tasks of sharing blog posts and operating self-media were temporarily handed over to Li Xi.

Li Xi was planning to make a special feature about the gossip about several wealthy families she had learned about through the original novel, but she couldn't bring it up without evidence. So, she compiled some gossip about a wealthy family she had seen in that past world and shared it with netizens.

It is said that a wealthy man in a certain province passed away suddenly. At the funeral, several women suddenly appeared, all with children and holding paternity test certificates in their hands. They said that the children were the rich man's children and asked for a share of the inheritance.

At first, everyone thought it was just a case of lovers and their illegitimate children fighting over an inheritance. But two days later, a woman who had won the Oscar for Best Actress also came forward, claiming her son was the son of a wealthy man. She had initially refused to accept the unspoken rules, but her agent drugged her and sent her to the wealthy man's bed, where he raped her and she became pregnant.

She hadn't wanted to have the child at first, but her boyfriend at the time, worried about her health, supported her in having the child and even married her. Both their families and the child knew about this, but they didn't dare speak out for fear of retaliation.
