Chapter 115: Rivers and Mountains and Beauty



To be more straightforward, it's Lu Zifeng and the Shen family. Don't ask why Lu Zifeng doesn't represent the Lu family, the answer is that he doesn't deserve it.

Dealing with Lu Zifeng is much simpler. Li Xi has also planned to let Shen Zhou be the main force to deal with Lu Zifeng. Luo Jingxuan only needs to cooperate with the action and trip up Lu Zifeng from time to time.

But Shen Zhou, or the Shen family, is not so easy to deal with.

As a long-established family, the Shen family possesses its own unique foundations, and it's not something that can be overthrown overnight. A truly fair and honest business war would require significant human, material, and financial resources. Even if the Luo family could afford it, it would be a significant loss. Furthermore, this time, the Luo family is the only one doing it themselves, without any favorable conditions to rely on, so the difficulty can be imagined.

As for the handle, as the family that the original male protagonist relies on, it is not without private reasons. It is just that in order to highlight the beauty of the male protagonist and the romance of Mary Sue, the author did not write about many family private reasons.

There are only two slightly negative characters or events that are clearly mentioned.

First, there's Shen Yanran. She needs no introduction, as she's riddled with negative news. But even if her negative news were exposed, it would only impact her most. She's been accused of promiscuous relationships, forced to rob, destroyed families, and even forced people to death. Even if she's known for her connections, it's still just a moral issue, not a violation of the law. Netizens curse her, then forget about her after a while, continuing to use Shen's products and shop at its stores...

After all, "the internet has a memory of only seven seconds."

Oh.

The second is the plot involving Li Xi in the original text: To obtain Luo's trade secrets, Shen Zhou launched a love offensive against Li Xi, deceiving her and tricking her into stealing information from Luo Jingxuan's calligraphy studio. Not to mention that this didn't happen in real life, even if it did, who could provide evidence that Shen Zhou instructed Li Xi to steal the information? Given Li Xi's feelings for him, it's not impossible that she chose to take the blame herself.

So you see, even if they wanted to deal with the Shen family, they couldn't find a way in. Even Luo Jingxuan wouldn't be able to do anything.

After worrying for a long time, Luo Jingxuan finally came back.

Hearing the noise, Li Xi stood up from the sofa in a flash, and without paying attention, she kicked over the small stool that Jing Chu had placed next to the sofa.

A "bang" sound attracted the attention of Luo Jingxuan, who was changing his shoes at the door. He glanced at Li Xi in confusion, and after confirming that she was okay, he lowered his head and continued to struggle with his shoes, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to talk to you about." The sound of Luo Jingxuan's return startled Li Xi, who was still trying to figure out how to trick him. She felt a momentary pang of guilt, and her words were a bit lacking in confidence. She didn't dare look Luo Jingxuan in the eye. Of course, Luo Jingxuan was struggling with his shoes, so he didn't even look up to give Li Xi a chance to meet his eyes.

Listening to Li Xi's words, Luo Jingxuan complained in his heart, "When have you ever sat there waiting for me but only because you needed my help?"

Although he thought so, he didn't say much. "Okay, wait for me for a moment." After that, he quickened the pace of changing shoes, even though it didn't take much time.

"Okay." Li Xi was also used to Luo Jingxuan's "straightforwardness", and now that she was looking at him, she was not nervous or guilty anymore. She even had the leisure to help Luo Jingxuan pour a glass of boiled water.

By the time Luo Jingxuan took his seat next to Li Xi, her demeanor was no different from usual. He was even calmer, showing no signs of impending conspiracy from his wife. After taking a sip of water, his usual icy expression melted for a moment. Someone who didn't know better would have thought he'd drunk some magical water!

"What's up?"

"Xiaoyu was bullied today." Li Xi's emotions were inevitably volatile when she spoke about serious matters, and her tone was a little unfriendly. After she finished speaking, she realized that her tone was not very good, as if she was taking her anger out on Luo Jingxuan, so she stopped and looked at Luo Jingxuan's expression.

Luo Jingxuan didn't know whether he was used to it or was willing to indulge her, but when he met Li Xi's slightly guilty look, he just nodded slightly, motioning her to continue.

With Luo Jingxuan's approval, Li Xi felt relieved and began to talk about what happened at the Lu family's annual meeting today. She also told him her own guesses - who came up with the idea, what everyone's purpose was, and the conclusion that the Lu family would probably make a big deal out of a small matter.

Li Xi felt thirsty after saying this, so she took her own cup and drank guzzles of water. Meanwhile, Luo Jingxuan stared at his own cup, his right hand resting on the armrest of the sofa, his fingers tapping the armrest as he pondered.

He knew that Su Yu had a minor accident at the Lu family's annual meeting. Although he and the Lu family didn't have much dealings, they were both in the business world, so cooperation and competition were possible. Therefore, it was understandable for him to plant some people in the other company to obtain some insignificant intelligence.

The other party didn't know about Su Yu and Luo Jingxuan's family relationship, nor did they know about Li Xi's relationship with Luo Jingxuan. Luo Jingxuan didn't even ask the other party to pay special attention to Su Yu. However, after the usual report on recent work, Assistant Jiang gave an extra reminder, asking if he could pay more attention to Su Yu. If anyone was making things difficult or something unexpected happened, he should help first and then report it.

Assistant Jiang also had good intentions. Su Yu was Li Xi's good friend, and if Su Yu wasn't feeling well, Li Xi wouldn't be happy either. When Li Xi was unhappy, she'd cook a lot of dishes to relieve stress. The food was delicious, but it was just too much, and it was easy to feel stuffed.

The undercover agent initially failed to detect Su Yu's mishap. It was only after hearing the movements of Jing Limo and Mr. Lu's assistant that he realized something was amiss. Drawing on years of spying experience, the undercover agent ultimately determined that Su Yu was in trouble. Because Jing Limo and Mr. Lu's assistant were both on the move, he refrained from taking action. Instead, he informed Assistant Jiang, who relayed the information to Luo Jingxuan.
