Then came the problem. Ever since Yunmei started dating Luo Li, she'd changed. First, she'd gradually distanced herself from the classmates she'd previously gotten along with, and then she'd stopped chatting with her roommates and best friends. She'd put on a standard smile every day, polite and distant to everyone. Her grades hadn't dropped, but she'd stopped participating in the clubs and organizations she'd once been a part of.
Her friends just thought she was in a relationship and wanted to spend more time with her boyfriend. Even if they noticed something was wrong, they didn't know how to tell her because every time someone tried to chat with her, she would reject them with various reasons.
By the time everyone realized something was wrong, Luo Li was the only one left by Yun Mei's side.
Some people thought Luo Li was using PUA to persuade Yun Mei, hoping to wake her up or convince Luo Li to let her go. However, Yun Mei refused to listen, and Luo Li ignored him. After so many setbacks, no one cared about their relationship anymore.
Li Xi couldn't really put her finger on their relationship. Luo Li's control over Yun Mei was evident in her social circles over the years, as evidenced by the fact that all her connections were made by Luo Li. But beyond that, Luo Li was genuinely good to Yun Mei, showering her with gifts, caring for her, and treating her with respect. Speaking of devotion, while Li Xi flirted with Luo Li about having a mistress outside, he was actually quite self-disciplined, never having affairs or keeping other women.
His hobby is a little weird, he raises snails.
Luo Li had bought a villa specifically for this purpose and hired someone to help him raise snails. He spent most of his time in the snail house when he wasn't at home or working. While not a spoiled brat, it was still heart-wrenching enough to cause a heart attack. That's why Yun Mei's expression changed when Li Xi mentioned that Luo Li was secretly flirting with a spoiled brat.
Isn’t Luo Li busy flirting with the Jiaojiaoniang snails?
Although she couldn't understand their relationship, Li Xi didn't envy them at all, and even felt a little disgusted. Regardless of whether Luo Li really PUA Yun Mei, his perverted desire for control made Li Xi speechless.
You're jealous and want your girlfriend to stay away from other men, which is fine, but you're actually making her only have people you approve of around her. That's incredibly depressing. If it were Li Xi, she'd have shot him in the head the moment his intentions surfaced.
This was what Li Xi admired most about Yun Mei's tolerance. Moreover, even after she had mocked her husband to his face, she had still managed to greet Li Xi with a friendly expression and even gave her her bracelet. She was also a ruthless person.
Perhaps it was because of the couple's personalities that they raised someone like Luo Xingyue?
As mentioned before, Luo Xingyue and Chen Yanran are best friends, and they are very good at drinking, clubbing, dancing, and playing with men.
If their genders were reversed, they'd be undeniably playboys. People would at most call them spendthrifts. But since they're women, they're inevitably criticized. But given their wealth, no one dares to say anything.
Of course, whether it is drinking or playing with men, to put it bluntly, it is your own business. It is consensual and there is nothing wrong with it. At most, you will be criticized if you tell others about it.
The problem is, why do they learn to rob and plunder?
Li Xi has not asked Mian Lao Si to conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter. After all, the incident was quite a big deal back then. The Shen family and the Luo family spent a lot of money to suppress the matter, and also used a lot of connections to bury the clues.
The reason why Li Xi knew this was also mentioned in the original text.
After graduating from high school, Shen Yanran entered the entertainment industry, selling the image of a pure and innocent young lady. By the time Su Yu appeared, Shen Yanran was already a rising star.
As the male protagonist's sister, Shen Yanran has a lot of scenes. She mainly supports Lu Wantang, looks down on Su Yu, and helps Lu Wantang to slap Su Yu in the face.
By the middle and late stages of the story, Su Yu has given up trying to get close to Shen Zhou by currying favor with Shen Yanran. She accidentally learns that when Shen Yanran was in high school, she bullied a boy on campus because she failed to get him by force, and the boy eventually committed suicide by jumping off a building.
She also happened to hear Shen Yanran telling her friends that she hated Su Yu, thinking she was just a country bumpkin who was not worthy of her brother Shen Zhou. Her brother also looked down on Su Yu. If Lu Wantang hadn't begged her brother not to embarrass Su Yu too much and to pay her attention occasionally, her brother would have ignored Su Yu.
Su Yu's pupils trembled, angered by the actions of Shen Yanran and Lu Wantang, and disgusted by Shen Zhou's listening to Lu Wantang and occasionally giving her hope. In a fit of rage, she exposed Shen Yanran's school bullying online.
Actually, this matter was done by Shen Yanran and Luo Xingyue at the time, but Su Yu didn't know her, so he didn't involve anyone else. He only mentioned Shen Yanran.
The Internet is a place for gossip. Coupled with Shen Yanran's fame at the time and the sensitivity of school bullying, the term "Shen Yanran's school bullying" quickly became a hot search.
Then an "informed netizen" told the story of what happened at the time, and also implicated Luo Xingyue.
However, Luo Xingyue was a member of the Luo family, and her scandal harmed the entire Luo family. The original text didn't specify when Luo Jingxuan learned of this. All we know is that Luo Xingyue's name had just appeared online when the Luo family took action.
It’s not that the Shen family doesn’t want to take action, but Shen Yanran already has her own traffic, and most of the things that happened were led by Shen Yanran, so it’s difficult to whitewash herself.
When the Shen family was in dire straits, the online condemnation of Shen Yanran had become rampant.
After being cyberbullied, Shen Yanran quits the entertainment industry and develops a deep hatred for Su Yu. The protagonists then experience a series of framing and being framed, disputes, and blows in the face, before the story finally reaches a happy ending for the male and female protagonists.
Of course, with Li Xi's presence, Su Yu has changed her view of Shen Zhou. It remains to be seen whether the conspiracies against Su Yu and Li Xi in the original novel will recur, but they will definitely not end up like in the original novel.
That's getting off topic.
It would take a lot of effort to find out the whole story of Shen Yanran and Luo Xingyue's robbery. There was no need to destroy this god at this stage. Besides, that incident was not only a scandal for the two families, but also a sad story for the victim's family.
Luo Xingyue and Chen Yanran hadn't caused any trouble for him, so there was no need to dig up the matter now. Not only would it alert the enemy, but it would also make it impossible to explain to the victim's family.
Li Xi wanted to discuss with Luo Jingxuan whether to expose this matter. After all, if it was exposed, the Luo family would definitely be implicated. But if it was not exposed, Li Xi felt uneasy. Would she let the perpetrator go unpunished and the victim shed tears?
But how could he tell Luo Jingxuan? When this happened, Luo Jingxuan hadn't yet taken power, and no one knew where he was working hard. The two families had done a good job of cleaning up the mess. Li Xi didn't have Su Yu's golden finger to accidentally find out, and Mian Lao Si had only a short time to investigate, so it was impossible for him to investigate such a hidden matter.
So, how did I know about this?
So sad.
Li Xi was worrying about herself when suddenly a loud shout woke her up from her thoughts.
Looking at the person who spoke from afar, Li Xi's mouth twitched. This birthday party was really lively.
