Chapter 11: First Confrontation



After finalizing their makeup for the cocktail party and discussing details about the dress based on their figures and preferences, Li Xi, Su Yu, and Tang Tang said goodbye and left. Before leaving, they added each other as friends.

After leaving the studio, the two did not go home immediately, but found a place to have dinner.

Originally, Su Yu was just looking for a restaurant with good reviews online. As soon as she sat down, she saw someone she knew. Her smile fell, and she pointed at two people not far away and introduced them to Li Xi. "Look at those two people over there. The woman is my crybaby sister, and the man is my big brother."

Li Xi looked in the direction of her finger and saw a man and a woman sitting by the window.

To be honest, those two didn't look like siblings at all. At least the look in Lu Zifeng's eyes when he looked at Lu Wantang wasn't pure at all. Li Xi believed that if such a scene happened in private, Lu Zifeng's hands would definitely not be honest.

Although Li Xi knew that Lu Zifeng was a pervert when she read the original novel, it was really disgusting to see him drooling over the person who was her biological sister not long ago and is now her adopted sister.

Li Xi spat at them in her heart, then put away her frown and turned back to talk to Su Yu calmly, "What bad luck! Should we change places?"

Li Xi didn't plan to tell Su Yu about the dirty secrets between Lu Zifeng and Lu Wantang for the time being, lest she pollute her ears. Although she didn't know how long this illicit relationship could be kept secret.

There will definitely be something interesting to watch. Veteran new media personality Li Xi has already thought of the headline she'd use if she were to expose this, and is also certain of how viral it would be if it were to be revealed. It's a shame she's now a worthless, useless person who no longer works in new media.

Li Xi was just thinking about it. She had just become rich and had no intention of starting a career yet.

Although Su Yu understood her family's attitude towards her and felt a little disappointed, she didn't break off relations with them. She felt awkward seeing the Lu family, but she wasn't ready to turn around and leave.

"Forget it. They won't notice anyone else when they're together anyway. Let's just eat our own food."

Li Xi thought about it and realized that there was no point in changing her decision for someone irrelevant to her. It took the two of them a lot of effort to find this store.

Thinking of this, he temporarily put aside the two people from the Lu family and happily ordered dishes.

However, God was probably very unhappy today and didn't want Li Xi to have an easy time.

The dishes arrived, and before the two had taken a few bites, a commotion came from the direction of the Lu brothers and sisters. Li Xi looked back and saw two men fighting over one woman.

It wasn't chaos, but there was definitely tension. The noise was probably caused by Lu Wantang accidentally bumping into a chair while hurriedly getting up. When Li Xi looked over, she was holding onto the chair.

A man in a suit sat on the empty side of the table. The window table wasn't very large, and with one side facing the window, the two people who had originally sat facing each other seemed a bit cramped with the addition of another person.

Moreover, the two men stared at each other with eyes that seemed to be smoldering with anger. From this posture, Li Xi guessed that the man was Shen Zhou.

Sure enough, after a while, Su Yu came over and introduced, "The new guy is Shen Zhou, whom I mentioned to you before. His character is still to be considered, but his face is really nice."

Hearing her say this, Li Xi also became interested. She ignored the tense atmosphere and looked at his face instead. Although she only saw Shen Zhou's profile, she could confirm that he was good-looking.

However, there was nothing surprising about it. The people sitting at that table were the male and female protagonists and the second male lead in the original text, so their looks were definitely guaranteed.

It’s just that Li Xi was prejudiced against Lu Wantang and Lu Zifeng, so when she first saw them, she simply ignored their looks.

Now I was watching them with the intention of watching the fun, but I noticed their faces instead.

"That's true. But." Li Xi seemed to have thought of something, and turned to Su Yuyi and said seriously, "Look carefully at the way he looks at Lu Wantang. I think there must be something going on between them."

Hearing this, Su Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, after you reminded me last time, I carefully recalled the details of their relationship and I also felt that there was something fishy going on between them. I even wanted to try to get in touch with him. Isn't that a lie?"

Su Yu said this with a bit of indignation. Although she had never been in a relationship, she knew that this kind of behavior of having one's cake and eat it in one's bowl and looking at the pot was called raising fish.

"Don't be angry yet. Whether it's a lie or not, we won't make a conclusion yet, but we must be on guard. We also need to test it. I'll help you try it at the cocktail party tomorrow."

"Can you? Even though you're married, you're still young. How much experience do you have? Can you identify a scumbag?"

"..." Li Xi was stunned by her question, "Although I'm married, I don't have any experience at all."

"..." This time it was Su Yu's turn to be speechless. "You're married, but you have no experience? You had a fake marriage?"

"A flash marriage. A blind, dumb marriage." Li Xi's face was blank. God pity them all, whether they were office workers before the time travel or the pretty loser after the time travel, they all had zero experience.

"What?" Perhaps because he was too shocked, Su Yu basically shouted when he said this.

When Li Xi heard this, she felt that something bad was going to happen, and she began to comfort the person calmly.

Then Li Xi experienced what it meant to have a toothache even when drinking cold water. Before Su Yu could be appeased, the three people in the standoff had already spotted her.

So when Li Xi heard the voice and tried to speak softly and act coquettishly to ask Su Yu not to be angry, a timid voice came from the side.

"elder sister?"

Li Xi was acting coquettishly when she heard such a voice. She immediately got goosebumps all over her body. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Lu Wantang, who was tugging at the hem of her skirt with both hands and her eyes were constantly wandering. She said bluntly, "Who are you?"
