Speaking of money, Li Xi no longer felt tired and straightened her back. "They are allowed to trick Lai Yiu Ming into selling his daughter, but I am not allowed to cheat them out of money? How can that be justified?"
Luo Jingxuan chuckled, "That doesn't make sense. You can just take the money you cheated."
"Hmph, of course I'm taking it. Why would I give it back to you?" Li Xi said as he leaned back.
"I don't want your money."
"That would be great." Li Xi straightened her back again after suddenly thinking of something. "You're not going to find a way to give this money to their children again, are you? That wouldn't be worth it."
Luo Jingxuan smiled and said, "No, it's yours as agreed."
"That's more like it." Li Xi felt relieved and leaned back on the sofa. Then she thought about the question that Grandpa Luo had been struggling with before he came, and leaned towards Luo Jingxuan. "Well, I know a secret, but I can't tell you the source. Do you want to hear it?"
"What is it?" Luo Jingxuan turned his head to look at Li Xi who was leaning on him and whispering in his ear, and raised his eyebrows. This person was getting more and more bold.
Li Xi leaned closer to Luo Jingxuan's ear and lowered her voice, "Luo Xingyue and Shen Zhou's sister Shen Yanran tried to seize a school bully in high school. The bully disagreed and tried all kinds of ways to get rid of them. They teamed up with their classmates to bully the bully. In the end, the bully couldn't stand it anymore and committed suicide by jumping off a building."
"How did you know that?" Luo Jingxuan frowned. If this was true, Luo Xingyue would have a murder case on her hands. Although she was not the one who did it directly, if it were to be exposed, the impact on the Luo family would not be small.
"I told you not to reveal the source of the channel." Li Xi was unhappy and pinched Luo Jingxuan's thigh hard.
Luo Jingxuan hissed in pain, and didn't have time to care about Li Xi's increasingly bold actions. "This is true."
"It's 100% true. But your third uncle and eldest uncle should have cleaned up the mess, so it's not easy to find out."
"I'll have someone check it out."
"So if you find out it's true, what are you going to do?" After telling the secret, Li Xi moved a little further away from Luo Jingxuan.
"I don't know. Of course I have to keep it secret for the Luo family. But this is a human life, I can't cover it up."
Seeing Luo Jingxuan's embarrassment, Li Xi felt a little guilty, but this was a bomb after all, and had to be dealt with as soon as possible. "I should deal with Shen Yanran later. Because she has financial support, her reputation in the entertainment industry is very good, but if she is involved in school bullying, she will be ruined. If I want to deal with her, I will definitely use this matter to my advantage. Even if there is not much solid evidence, I can still make this matter true by catching wind and shadows and spreading rumors. Even if Luo Xingyue is involved, will it affect the Luo family if this matter is exposed?"
"It will have some impact." Luo Jingxuan turned to look at Li Xi, "Why do you want to mess with her?"
"Just think of it as a personal grudge between me and her." Li Xi didn't want to say more, and Luo Jingxuan didn't dare to ask.
"I'll investigate this matter. If I find evidence, I'll give it to you. As for Luo Xingyue," Luo Jingxuan considered his words, "we'll see what role she plays. If she's a key figure, we'll just leave her alone. Then, Luo's company will issue an apology statement, dissociate itself from Luo Xingyue, and set up a foundation to resist school violence. That way, the impact can be controlled."
"What if Luo Xingyue's relationship isn't that important? Will you help her keep it secret?"
"No from a legal perspective, but maybe from a public perspective, for the Luo family's sake."
Li Xi looked at Luo Jingxuan with a complicated expression, unsure whether to accept his answer. After all, in the original novel, Luo Jingxuan, or rather the Luo family, had directly cleared Luo Xingyue of all responsibility. But Li Xi didn't believe that Luo Xingyue's role in this matter was just a minor one. After all, she and Shen Yanran were best friends!
Thinking about these things, Li Xi was a little absent-minded during her meal. Grandpa Luo called her several times, but she didn't hear him. Fortunately, Grandpa Luo thought she was distracted because she was too hungry, so he teased her a few times and let her go.
Luo Jingxuan looked at her absent-mindedly and guessed that his answer just now might not have satisfied her, but he didn't know what she was dissatisfied with.
It was difficult to ask while eating, so he just picked up some dishes for her occasionally. Seeing that Li Xi didn't refuse, he felt relieved.
There were some relatives at the table trying to get close to Li Xi or ask her some questions. Li Xi was already distracted and didn't bother to play along. When someone sitting further away spoke to her, she pretended not to hear. After all, she hadn't heard Grandpa Luo call her before, so no one thought she was being deliberate.
Li Xi, who was closer, picked up some food for Luo Jingxuan as soon as she saw him put down his chopsticks and move his mouth. Then she looked at Luo Jingxuan with a smile and leaned close to whisper in his ear.
Of course, we didn't say anything serious, just asked you to eat this, this is delicious, what this is, how that is made, this is sweet, that is spicy.
Luo Jingxuan was completely used as a shield. When the others saw the couple whispering, they didn't want to interrupt them, so they coughed twice to cover up, then either changed the person who was talking or picked up their chopsticks to eat.
Luo Jingxuan knew that she was not willing to deal with it, and he did not want to listen to their nonsense, so he was happy to cooperate with Li Xi. However, every time Li Xi approached, the girl's breath sprayed on his neck, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
But compared with the verbal bombardment from my aunts and uncles, this is much better, so I choose to ignore it.
After dinner, Grandpa Luo wanted to let the two of them stay overnight in the old house.
Li Xi had been a bit tempted by the courtyard, but then she thought, if the two of them stayed, wouldn't they have to share a room? Whether they shared a bed or had one person on the bed and the other on the sofa, Li Xi felt uncomfortable.
So he went back to Grandpa Luo and pulled Luo Jingxuan away from the old house as if escaping.
After finally getting through the old man’s birthday party, Li Xi had no time to find the next topic for “Rich Family Gossip”.
Because school is about to start!
That’s right, Li Xi, who has been a social animal for many years, is going back to school.
