"Hehe." Hearing this, Li Xi's mouth corners unconsciously curled up into a smile, "I've been waiting for you to say this, some people are so annoying, and their words are rude, I'll show you who they are later, you help me teach them a lesson!" As she spoke, Li Xi's acting addiction came up, and she hugged Luo Jingxuan's arm, and said with a breath in her mouth, "Hubby, you don't know them, they bully me as much as they can when you're not around, I was almost bullied to tears by them! You must stand up for me. Woo woo┭┮﹏┭┮" At the end, she even cried twice in a fake manner.
"Okay." Seeing Li Xi's deliberate act of "the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country," Luo Jingxuan didn't find it contrived, only endearing. Even though he knew the person she was referring to as "bullied to the point of tears" was probably referring to the wrong person, he still resigned himself to being "King You of Zhou," disregarding the lives of others just to win a smile from his beloved concubine. He decided to teach those who had "bullied" Li Xi a lesson later. Well, let's find a reason to bring up the company. After all, most of the people here are just there to get paid for nothing, so staying or not won't have much impact on the company.
"Oh, the young couple has a pretty good relationship. Look, they ignore us old guys and go to talk in private. Hahaha..." It's not that no one noticed that Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan were whispering, but no one pointed it out on purpose. Firstly, there was no need to do so, as the young couple was just whispering and it didn't affect anything. Secondly, these people said they were Luo Jingxuan's elders, but most of them depended on Luo Jingxuan for their livelihood, and no one wanted to offend him. Furthermore, at such an old age, it was a bit inconsiderate to bother young people about their private matters.
However, not everyone is so tactful. Some people even come out to act like clowns. They openly praise the couple's good relationship, but secretly accuse them of disrespecting their elders. They don't listen carefully to what the elders are saying, and even whisper to them.
Hearing this, Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan both looked up at the person who was speaking. Li Xi didn't recognize the person, so she didn't say anything. She just blinked her big, innocent eyes at the other person, but her eyes were full of curses: It's none of your business!
Luo Jingxuan didn't remain silent, but he retracted the gentle look he had given Li Xi and looked at her calmly, "Third Uncle, you're joking. This is Xixi's first time celebrating New Year at the Luo family, and she doesn't know many people. I was just introducing her to the elders, how to address them, and why. I was just talking about you, Third Uncle, saying that although your mother didn't marry into the Luo family, you are indeed my great-uncle's son, so you should be called Uncle."
As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy group of elders fell silent, a pin drop audible. Li Xi's eyes widened in shock, and she almost cried out in surprise. Good fellow, Luo Jingxuan was a man who would either keep quiet or make a splash. He actually revealed such a big news at this time and in this place! He truly was the man who held the Luo family in his hands.
Li Xi was enjoying the melon, but the person involved had a dark face. "Luo Jingxuan, what do you mean? What do you want to do by bringing this up now? Are you trying to kick me out of the Luo family?" His voice suddenly rose, not knowing if he was anxious or angry.
On the other hand, Luo Jingxuan, as always, was as steady as an old dog (ahem), "Third Uncle, you're joking. Xixi and I have a good relationship. We were just chatting and getting to know each other. I didn't mean anything against you."
Wow, she didn't say a single bad thing about him, but every word was pointing at him - asking you to mind your own business! Who's happy? Li Xi is happy. You're taking advantage of your seniority and being exposed!
"You!" Third Uncle wanted to say something, but was stopped by the people next to him.
"Alright, alright, why bother with the kid? He's young and they have a good relationship. You don't need to say anything. Talking too much seems disrespectful to the elderly." "That's right. Stay out of the young people's business."
That was the logic, but Li Xi felt the person trying to mediate was also a bit sarcastic. Of course, the target of their sarcasm was "Third Uncle." After Third Uncle's words, everyone had also witnessed Luo Jingxuan's verbal skills, which were quite impressive. More importantly, what if Luo Jingxuan got angry later and cut off their supply? Rather than angering the "financial sponsor's son/grandson," it was better to give this inconsiderate old man a stern scold. It wouldn't hurt him anyway.
Listening to the elderly men across the street, one after another, "comforting" Third Uncle, Li Xi felt a strange empathy for their brainwaves. After all, she had once lived at the mercy of her "financial sponsor." Alas, the past cannot be retrieved.
After such a farce, Mr. Luo didn't stay long, expressing his exhaustion and leaving early. With the patriarchs gone, the remaining "elders" felt no need to stay and returned to their homes, accompanied by their younger generations. As for the direct descendants of the Luo family, there were also some younger members. Those who wanted to play continued to play, while those who didn't wanted to go back to their rooms to rest. The Luo family mansion was quite large, so there was no shortage of room for them.
Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan returned to the room where Luo Jingxuan lived as a child. It was not a small room, with one bedroom, one living room, a bathroom, a dressing room, and a balcony. It was at least 70 or 80 square meters.
Since marrying Luo Jingxuan, Li Xi has come to the old house many times, but this is the first time she has stayed overnight and the first time she has entered Luo Jingxuan's room. To be honest, it is quite novel. She has been looking around since she entered the door, looking left and right, her curiosity is overflowing.
Perhaps it was because Luo Jingxuan had rarely returned to live here since he left home at a young age, so the decoration of the room still retained the same style as it did back then. In terms of style, it was unexpectedly a bit "youthful". I think Luo Jingxuan's parents decorated the room specifically based on their son's personality and preferences. It was very warm and in line with the preferences of teenagers.
The layout wasn't particularly new, not dissimilar to the bachelor pad she'd lived in before her time travel. The entrance led to a small living room, connected to a balcony. To the right was the bedroom, which included a bathroom and dressing room. Compared to Li Xi's small apartment, it was only a tiny bit larger. (￣▽￣) "The entire room was indigo. While a somewhat dark color, the details, like the colorblocked walls, personalized ornaments, and ambient lighting, imbued the space with a sense of fashion."
