Chapter 27: Playing with the Sword



After coaxing his old wife, he turned around and scolded Li Xi, "How can you talk like that? Ruolan is your elder. Apologize!"

Li Xi rolled her eyes, turned around and walked to Luo Jingxuan, hugged Luo Jingxuan's arm and started crying, "Boo, woo, woo, hubby, they all bullied me. It's not enough to make my mom angry to death, they also want to make me angry to death so that they can take my inheritance. Boo, woo, woo, hubby, my life is so miserable. Boo, woo."

“…”

Not to mention the direct victim, Luo Jingxuan, even Lai Yaoming and Jian Ruolan were shocked to the point of goosebumps. Where did this whimpering monster come from?

Jian Ruolan stopped crying, and Li Yaoming forgot to scold her. In an instant, the only sound in the hall was Li Xi's sobbing.

Finally, it was Li Meng who broke the silence, "Li Xi, are you done with your mourning?"

Because today was a family dinner, Li Meng and Li Jian were both at home. However, neither of them liked Li Xi, so they stayed in their rooms until they heard the noisy sounds in the living room and came out.

Who knew that as soon as she came out, she would hear Li Xi's sarcastic "嘤嘤嘤", and coupled with the sadness of being provoked by Li Xi at the last cocktail party, Li Meng spoke without any politeness.

Li Jian followed behind Li Meng. Although he didn't say anything, his arrogant expression showed that he agreed with Li Meng's words.

Seeing his precious daughter, Lai Yiu Ming was no longer angry and greeted her with a smile, "Mengmeng is down."

Li Meng said "hmm" in annoyance and wanted to continue to argue with Li Xi.

But Li Xi's mood had changed. She stopped whimpering and just held Luo Jingxuan's arm tightly. "Everyone says your mother is well-educated, gentle, generous, kind and obedient. How could she give birth to such an uneducated child like you? You keep crying, crying your mother's sorrow."

Li Xi's words had two "your mother"s. The first was meant well, the second a slightly dirty catchphrase. But due to the different punctuation, both became insults. This was even more jarring to Li Meng's ears.

"Li Xi! You! You cursed my mom!" He thought of the playboy and himself who had been dismissed by Li Xi with a few words last time. Knowing he couldn't win the argument, he turned to Li Yaoming to complain, "Dad, look at Li Xi. Have you been hanging out with some shady people for too long? Your words are so unpleasant."

Lai Yaoming naturally heard the malice in Li Xi's words and was angry, but he couldn't respond to Li Meng's words. After all, Li Xi had spent the most time with Luo Jingxuan since their marriage. If he responded to Li Meng's words, it would be tantamount to acknowledging that Luo Jingxuan was a questionable person. That would be offensive. He still relied on Luo Jingxuan for his support, so how could he offend him for a child?

"Mengmeng, stop talking nonsense. Li Xi is married to Jingxuan, and there are many elites and talents around her. There are no questionable people." After pretending to scold Li Meng, Li Yaoming looked at Luo Jingxuan with a smile on his face, "Jingxuan, you are right, right?"

Luo Jingxuan nodded expressionlessly, remaining silent. In truth, he was a bit distracted. Li Xi held onto his arm tightly, and he wanted to pull it away, but he was afraid of touching something he shouldn't. But if he didn't pull it away, he could still clearly feel Li Xi's body heat, which made him very uncomfortable.

He was precocious and had never really enjoyed physical contact since childhood. When his parents were still around, they'd occasionally share kisses and hugs, but after they passed away, he rarely interacted with anyone. Aside from a recent injury that forced him to rely on his bodyguard, he rarely interacted with anyone. And certainly not with a sweet, soft little girl.

It wasn't nervousness, nor was it rejection; it was simply a profound lack of familiarity. It was so intense that I lost my ability to think. I saw Lai Yiu-ming looking at me, his lips moving. I had no idea what he was saying, but I could still nod.

Li Xi could hear clearly, but she didn't really want to bother with Li Yaoming. Rather than argue with him, it would be better to poke Li Meng with words. This little brat was also mentioned in the original text as Lu Wantang's henchman, often appearing in the background of "bullying" Su Yu.

Occasionally, she'd jump to the front of the stage, only to be slapped in the face by Su Yu every time, demonstrating the meaning of having princess syndrome but no princess life. It was hilarious, Shen Zhou helping Lu Wantang slap Su Yu in the face, and Su Yu in turn slapping Lu Wantang's henchman, Li Meng. It was tit for tat.

Li Xi didn't know why the author arranged it this way. But she was sure that Li Meng, this little brat, had a low IQ and was easy to bully.

Speaking of Li Jian, he is rarely mentioned in the original novel, but Mian Laosi's investigation data is very complete. To put it simply, he is the school bully in name but a dwarf in strength.

He also has a bit of a Chuunibyou syndrome, and he admires the school bullies in Japanese comics who dominate the school and wants to practice it in his own school. His ability to stir up trouble is ten times stronger than Li Xi's.

However, Li Xi's provocations were all about talking, acting like a spoiled brawler, and getting on with a lot of people. Li Jian's provocations were about direct fighting. But he hadn't really learned martial arts, so he just fought blindly.

Then, those people in the school, because of Li Jian's family background, didn't dare to fight him. Every time they fought with Li Jian, they just showed off their skills and didn't dare to really fight. So Li Jian always won.

Over time, Li Jian's reputation for winning nine out of ten fights spread. Many people began to avoid him. Gradually, Li Jian became known as the "school bully." He became insolent, believing himself invincible. He acted like a stuntman at school, forming cliques and factions.

The information given by Mian Lao Si includes many photos of Li Jian fighting. How should I put it? It feels like watching photos of extras cooperating in fighting scenes. It's quite funny.

When Li Xi used to get along with the two of them, well, they just couldn't get along. But since Li Xi was a "trash," she always lost, leaving her pissed off and getting scolded by Lai Yiu Ming. So, every time they fought, Li Xi ended up crying.
