After meeting Su Yuan, Li Xi temporarily put aside the guilt of neglecting her partners and began to enjoy her winter vacation. Every day, she either took Jing Chu out to have fun or lay on the sofa with the TV on.
Occasionally, Su Yuan would invite her to brand events, offering to introduce her to celebrities, but Li Xi always declined. Before time travel, Li Xi had also been a fan, so passionate she'd almost tattooed the words "die-hard fan" on her face. However, before her idol's downfall, she'd declared she was tired and ready to quit.
Since then, Li Xi no longer chases stars. She doesn't even have the desire to get to know a star in depth. She just occasionally flatters his or her looks.
After traveling through time, she had even less thoughts about this. Firstly, the people around her were all very good-looking. After all, most of them were key characters in the original text, such as the male and female protagonists, the male supporting role, the female supporting role, and the villain. Even she herself had the title of "pretty waste".
Secondly, she may be "old" and has no energy to chase stars. Every time she watches TV, she focuses on the "plot" and rarely pays attention to the people.
In her deliberate or unconscious neglect, she didn't recognize any celebrity. Even the celebrity Su Yuan had put her on a wealthy gossip forum last time, she didn't recognize him in a different photo or style.
After rejecting Su Yuan's invitation, Su Yu was taken to study by her teacher. Not to mention Luo Jingxuan and Jing Mo were very busy at the end of the year. It was great that they could come back and have a meal together. Asking her out to play was simply impossible.
So, during this period of time, Li Xi naturally took it easy.
It was not until Su Yu conveyed the netizens' thoughts to her that she remembered that she had been late updating the Rich Family Gossip Talk for a long time.
Li Xi: "..." Holidays make people degenerate.
Li Xi had actually thought of the topic long before, which was the ups and downs of Zhang Dezong, or to put it more bluntly, the story of a Phoenix man trying to find a "rich wife".
In Li Xi's opinion, whether it's Zhang Dezong's rise to power through women or Lin Yuanyuan's scheme to "kill relatives for the sake of justice," both are worth netizens' time to gossip about. It's just that I've been lying down too comfortably these past few days and don't feel like writing at all.
Now that he was reminded, Li Xi had no choice but to pick up his tools and start working. Of course, before starting work, he carefully studied the information sent by Mian Lao Si, thinking about which ones could be included in the article.
While Li Xi was busy typing, Jing Chu went back to the state he used to be when Li Xi was taking exams and playing alone. Li Xi felt a little guilty when she saw him playing alone during her breaks.
By this time, the kindergarten Jingchu attended had already started. After all, in his home country, there was no Spring Festival. There was only the Lunar New Year, so winter break was around January 1st. By the time he went back to China for Spring Festival, winter break would have already ended and school would have started.
Just because of Li Xi's suggestion, Jing Mo brought Jing Chu back to China and even kept him there for the New Year. There weren't any suitable children in Yuyuan for Jing Chu to play with, and the adults were all busy with their own things. Jing Chu had to play on his own most of the time.
In fact, during the time when Li Xi was taking exams, she also thought about sending the child to the Jing family. After thinking about it, she decided not to. Firstly, there were only a few elderly people in the Jing family's old house, and they were really unable to take care of a child. Secondly, Jing Chu himself was not very willing to go there. Not long after Jing Chu returned to China, Jing Mo took the child back to the Jing family once. Li Xi did not go with them. She didn't know what happened. She only knew that the child clamored to go back to Yuyuan that day and never went there again.
Li Xi suspected that the Jing family's relatives might have said something to the child. They were already unhappy that Jing Mo had inherited the Jing family as a figurehead, and Jing Chu was an adopted son, very likely to take over from Jing Mo in the future. From their perspective, it was like handing over the family business to an outsider, a serious blow. If they couldn't handle Jing Mo, how could they possibly handle a little brat like Jing Chu? A few ambiguous words could sow a pall over a child's heart.
However, Li Xi had no control over the affairs of the Jing family. Jing Mo would take care of those who bullied Jing Chu. All she could do was accept the child, welcome the child, and spend time with the child whenever she had time. Although playing with the child was physically demanding, she was still willing to make the child happy within her "ability".
In fact, she doesn't have much time or the time she's willing to spend playing with her children, which makes it hard for the children to play alone.
Li Xi sighed, but she wasn't planning on doing anything. Firstly, her manuscript wasn't finished, and secondly, her patience with children was limited.
Over the past few days, she had lost the cautiousness she had initially shown towards Jingchu. She now treated Jingchu more as an independent person, a friend on equal terms. Instead of a child who depended on adults to survive, she was more considerate of her own emotions when interacting with him. Although this was not very "adult" behavior, Li Xi did not think there was anything wrong with it. Children nowadays mature very early. If you treat them like a child, they might not be happy!
So after a brief moment of guilt, she threw herself back into typing.
Finally, under Su Yu's supervision and the eager anticipation of thousands of netizens, the "Wealthy Family Gossip Talk" finally resumed updating. It was still a long, thick, illustrated gossip article titled "The Attack of the Little Gigolo."
Li Xi hadn't originally intended to use such an unfriendly adjective to refer to Zhang Dezong. It was only when she reread the information that she noticed a problem: many of Zhang Dezong's marriages had children.
Although all but the eldest son were born in wedlock, these children all came from single-parent families. Even those from well-off families often had their mothers remarry. The fatherly love these children lacked could never be repaid, leading to a significant number of them suffering from mental illness.
