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, ...
After their last encounter, Li Xi knew that Tang Tang wasn't attracted to women, but simply admired their beauty. But being looked at like that always made her feel uncomfortable.
Tang Tang didn't pay attention to these things, she was just immersed in her own world of beauty. "This little dress is simple in design, and the hairstyle doesn't need to be too complicated, just curl it and tie it into a half ponytail. As for the makeup, emm..." Tang Tang supported her chin with one hand, looked at Li Xi in the mirror, then looked at Li Xi in reality, and finally clapped her hands, "Let's go with peach blossom makeup."
Li Xi knew nothing about peach blossom makeup or pear blossom makeup. She nodded and let Tang Tang fiddle with her head.
While getting her hair permed, Li Xi suddenly remembered that one of the four great families in Jiangcheng was the Tang family. Tang Tang and Luo Jingxuan were childhood friends, so she wondered if she was a member of the Tang family.
The original novel describes the Tang family sparingly, mentioning only one thing: they are a family of doctors. Several generations have been doctors, initially practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more recently, some have also studied Western Medicine.
Of course, there was nothing much to say about this. The Tang family's pedigree was there, and their doctors held a high status in Jiangcheng. Even in the world of fiction, the overbearing CEO Shen Zhou had a family doctor on call, but he was definitely not a member of the Tang family. When a member of the Tang family was needed, it was usually for a difficult or complicated case. Mentions of them were always praised.
Except for one person. This generation of the Tang family has an outstanding young man who has been learning Chinese medicine from his grandparents since he was a child, and then studied Western medicine and surgery when he grew up. He is an internationally renowned thoracic surgeon.
But one day, this person suddenly abandoned medicine to pursue philosophy—the kind that studies fundamental and universal questions about the world. Since then, he's been treating patients, and even his interactions with people have been limited. Whenever they chat, he often ends up with philosophical topics like "Do we have free will? Everything has its roots and its ends, and everything has its beginning and its end. A white horse is not a horse. Everything goes to extremes and then reverses."
The original novel doesn't explain why he became like this. After all, it was just a few words mentioned by others in casual conversation, and it wasn't very detailed.
If Tang Tang is also a member of the Tang family, then she is probably the second rebellious member of the Tang family who refuses to learn medical makeup.
Of course, this was just Li Xi's speculation, and she wasn't about to ask Tang Tang for confirmation. Although she'd met Tang Tang through Luo Jingxuan, Li Xi genuinely liked this free-spirited young lady and enjoyed chatting with her. It would be even better if she could cuddle less with Li Xi.
While putting on makeup, although it was difficult to speak frequently, Li Xi still took the opportunity to chat with Tang Tang. She acted as if she was afraid that Tang Tang would run away and not chat with her, which made Tang Tang laugh.
The whole makeup process passed in the laughter of the two. When the makeup was finished, Assistant Jiang called.
Although she had met Grandpa Luo last time, it was her first time meeting the other members of the Luo family, so this time Li Xi had to go with Luo Jingxuan. Assistant Jiang contacted her and asked her to meet Luo Jingxuan downstairs in the company.
Li Xi had no objection. After saying hello to Tang Tang, she contacted her own driver and went to Luo Jingxuan's company.
This was Li Xi's second time at Luo Jingxuan's company, but this time she wasn't planning to go upstairs. It would be quite a walk to get there and back, and she'd have to rely on Assistant Jiang to pick her up, so there was no need to bother him.
So Li Xi and the driver waited in the garage. Although the driver was Li Xi's personal driver, he didn't have much contact with Li Xi, because Li Xi rarely went out.
There was basically no chatting. It seemed that every time Li Xi sat in the car, she was thinking, either about the original plot, or about who to send to the hot search and how to send it.
The few times they communicated occasionally were just things like "when and where to pick me up". So far, Li Xi didn't know the driver's name and only called him "Master".
Only when she was alone with the driver did Li Xi realize this. This was something that was unbelievable to her before she traveled through time. Even the security guard at the gate of the residential complex, let alone the driver, would ask for their name whenever she had a few interactions with him.
Every time I interact with someone, I will add a title, such as Aunt Lin or Uncle Wu, to show politeness and respect.
But Li Xi had no desire to get to know this driver who served her. This made Li Xi reflect on whether she had become too arrogant after traveling through time and space and had even lost her basic courtesy.
This won't work.
But it seems a bit pretentious to ask him now, so I'd better ask Uncle Wu when I get back.
After making up her mind, Li Xi prepared to chat with the driver for a while, "Master, we will go to the birthday party later and there will be food. What do you want to eat?"
The driver didn't expect Li Xi to chat with him. He glanced at Li Xi in the rearview mirror and pursed his lips. "Usually, in situations like this, the old house will prepare meals for us accompanying people, but we won't eat with the gentleman and the lady."
"I see. So what do you usually eat when I'm out?"
"If you have a long time, find a restaurant nearby to eat. If you have less time, you can eat bread, biscuits, sandwiches, rice balls, etc." The driver looked at Li Xi again, feeling a little embarrassed and blushing slightly, "Anyway, you won't let yourself go hungry."
"I never had a personal driver before, so I didn't pay much attention to these things. I just thought you would go back to the villa after dropping me off. Now that I think about it, every time I called you to pick me up, you came very quickly. I thought you should be nearby. It was my negligence." Li Xi felt a little apologetic. She was really getting ahead of herself.
"No, no, no." The young man was already embarrassed, and after hearing what Li Xi said, he became completely tense. "It is my duty to pick up Miss Li and protect her safety. Miss Li, please don't feel burdened."
