In the end, they didn't get to eat at the old house. While Li Xi was still immersed in the fantasy of "I am already a rich woman", Luo Jingxuan received a call from work.
"I have some work to take care of, so I'll leave first." Without waiting for Li Xi's response, he called Assistant Jiang and prepared to leave.
"Wait." How could Li Xi let him leave? Not to mention facing Mr. Luo's interrogation alone, even how to leave would be a problem. "I'll go with you. I also need to buy some daily necessities."
Luo Jingxuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Whatever you want." Then he turned around and called Assistant Jiang, "Find a car to take her there. I'll ask Sui to take me to the company later. Come back after you've dealt with her."
"Okay, boss."
Li Xi watched their interaction, her impression of Assistant Jiang as "the quintessential all-around assistant in novels" deepened. She figured she'd be dealing with this assistant from now on, and secretly resolved to get along well with him. He was the financial backer's money bag.
The three of them walked out in silence, none of them remembering that Old Man Luo had gone to the kitchen to urge them to prepare food. When Old Man Luo finished giving his instructions and returned to the living room, he was greeted by an empty room. He was so angry that he ate two extra bowls of rice that day.
After leaving the villa, Li Xi once again admired the princess hug between handsome guys from close range, and then left in Assistant Jiang's car.
Not long after the car drove out, Li Xi remembered the forgotten old man and gasped, "Assistant Jiang, did we forget about the old man?"
“…”
Assistant Jiang Huaijiang, the all-around competent assistant in novels, was speechless. While the boss often forgot to greet the old man before, he always remembered. This time, he'd forgotten, too excited to eat the melons from the boss's house. What a sin.
"Ahem, it's okay. The old man is used to it. Just apologize next time you see me."
"Is that so? Then next time you come with me, please apologize on my behalf."
“…”
Although they had only been together for less than half a day, Assistant Jiang had already wanted to knock open Li Xi's head several times to see what was going on in her brain and why her words were so speechless.
"This is your family matter. I suggest you apologize yourself." At this point, he suddenly wanted to be naughty, "Or maybe you can just act coquettishly and it will go away."
"Be coquettish. Let me think about it." After hearing what Assistant Jiang said, Li Xi really started to think seriously. After all, women who act coquettishly have the best life. Any problem that can be solved by being coquettish is not a problem.
"..." Assistant Jiang muttered to himself, "I'm a professional, I'm a professional," while driving. Soon they arrived at the shopping mall in the city center.
Li Xi took out her newly acquired black card and swiped it around. From clothes to shoes and socks, from shampoo to foot bath tubs, she made a huge sale before following Assistant Jiang back home, who was carrying a lot of bags.
On the way, I also watched a good show.
It was about three wealthy daughters mocking a young girl, though expensively dressed, who didn't fit in. Li Xi was familiar with this plot. It was basically Cinderella, who suddenly became wealthy but was looked down upon by the already wealthy, leading to a collective bullying. Unable to physically engage in real-world violence, they resorted to using Huabei (a popular shopping app) as a tool. One side acted arrogantly, while the other endured the humiliation.
When reading novels, Li Xi really disliked this kind of plot, especially when it came to the person being bullied. So what if he didn't have money before? He didn't eat his rice. He can talk back, can't you? Why put up with it? Just stand up and smash his head.
So when Li Xi first saw this scene, she wasn't very interested until she glanced at it casually as she was about to pass by.
Oh no, this is terrible. The bullied little cutie stood up to fight back. He took the scissors from the staff and poked at the clothes. After that, he took the tattered clothes and went to check out.
Li Xi gave the girl a thumbs-up in her heart, and then continued to follow Assistant Jiang. By the way, she sighed that this time travel was really interesting. Not only was her life like a TV series, but she could also watch a TV series while shopping. It was interesting.
But why do I always feel that among the young lady who bullied others, there is someone looking at me from time to time?
If this isn't an illusion, then he knows her. Damn it, I'm going to call a private investigator later!!
But how to find it? Even after Assistant Jiang sent Li Xi to the villa in Yuyuan, Li Xi still hadn't figured out how to find it.
Seeing Assistant Jiang directing the servants in the villa to help move things, Li Xi finally decided to seek help from outside.
"Assistant Jiang, we're acquainted now. Could you please do me a favor?"
Jiang Huai looked at Li Xi and was speechless again. Although this person had a nice smile, the words "looking for a sucker" were clearly written on his face. How could he agree to it!
"You said I can do it, and I will do my best."
"Do you know any private detectives?" Seeing Assistant Jiang's righteous face, Li Xi asked without hesitation. After all, for an all-round assistant like Jiang, it would not be a problem for him to have information about private detectives.
"Yes, but what do you need to investigate?" Assistant Jiang's alarm went off immediately upon hearing they were looking for a private investigator. What was this person up to? Was he trying to harm the boss?
"Check something."
“…”
"How about you ask your boss for instructions?"
"OK."
"Then add a friend first."
The confrontation between the two ended with Li Xi getting Jiang Huai's contact information. Afterwards, Jiang Huai introduced Li Xi to everyone in the villa and explained to Li Xi the respective responsibilities of the people in the villa.
Only now did Li Xi know that Luo Jingxuan also lived in this villa, his room was on the third floor, which was generally not allowed to be accessed, while her room was on the second floor.
