There are several considerations behind the idea of clinging to Mr. Lu.
First, although Mr. Lu is not in power, he still has a lot of say in the Lu family, otherwise there would not be today's family recognition banquet; second, Su Yu has just returned to the Lu family and has not done those "crazy" things in the original work. Mr. Lu still loves Su Yu sincerely; third, in terms of blood relationship, Mr. Lu is Luo Jingxuan's grandfather. Although they don't seem to be in contact much now, it will never be wrong for Li Xi, as a junior, to make a good relationship with him.
But before I could hug his thigh, I still had to talk to Luo Jingxuan and ask him if he wanted to acknowledge her as my relative. This would also help me decide whether to meet the old man later as his grandson's wife or his grandson's girlfriend.
Do it as soon as you think of it. After saying hello to Su Yu and the others, Li Xi went to the garden outside and found a secluded corner. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't call Luo Jingxuan.
Li Xi's feelings towards Luo Jingxuan were actually quite complicated. Firstly, Luo Jingxuan was her financial backer, barely a boss, a superior and a subordinate. Secondly, Luo Jingxuan was the first person she had met since coming to this world, and they were a very close couple, though only in name. Thirdly, the usually stern villain boss could calm down and listen to her troubles, patiently answering her questions, and with that handsome face, who could resist? Anyone with a slightly better self-esteem would have pounced on him long ago.
When she first came here, Li Xi thought she could just remain a couple with Luo Jingxuan, spending his money and eating his food, and then divorce him as soon as he found true love. As they got along, she did become somewhat attached to his gentleness, even though it might not be due to her, but to his upbringing.
But if you were to say there was any affection between the two of them, that was truly not the case. So far, except for when he was discussing the "big plan" with Luo Jingxuan, the atmosphere between the two of them would be a little more relaxed, and they had always been very polite.
It's working hours now, who knows if Luo Jingxuan is in a meeting. To be on the safe side, I'd better contact Assistant Jiang first.
[Ding ding, Assistant Jiang. Is Mr. Luo free right now?]
There was probably no meeting going on over there, so Assistant Jiang quickly replied to the message.
Jiang Huai [Good afternoon, Ms. Li. The boss is not in a meeting right now. He's in the office looking over documents.]
[OK, thank you very much.]
Jianghuai [You're welcome.]
After receiving Assistant Jiang's confirmation, Li Xi took a deep breath before dialing Luo Jingxuan's number. This seemed to be the first time Li Xi had taken the initiative to call Luo Jingxuan, which was quite unusual.
The phone rang for a short while before it was picked up.
"Hello, what's up?"
"A little bit. I'm attending a banquet at the Lu family right now. I'm going to meet Mr. Lu later. Do I need to tell him about our relationship?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by two emotionless words: "No need."
"Okay." Li Xi didn't ask any more questions. It was better not to ask too many questions when it came to privacy that might touch other people's hearts.
"Anything else?"
"there is none left."
Before Li Xi could say anything else, the other party had already hung up. Clearly angry, even though he hadn't said anything harsh and his tone hadn't changed much, Li Xi could sense it. However, she wasn't going to try to appease him. Besides their lukewarm relationship, they were just a couple on paper, so there was no point in trying to appease him.
After hanging up the phone, Li Xi prepared to drag Su Yu along to see Mr. Lu. As they reached the door, Tang Tang excused herself, saying she didn't want to join in the fun. Indeed, Tang Tang had stayed simply to keep the two of them company. Even after just a short while, many people had already begun to look at Su Yu with new eyes. The rest of the evening's gatherings would mostly be attended by elders, so Su Yu would have to rely on himself.
The three of them chatted affectionately for a while before going their separate ways.
On the way to see Mr. Lu, Li Xi shared her thoughts with Su Yu. Lu Wantang had suffered a loss today, made a fool of herself, and was likely emotionally unbalanced, looking to take advantage of Su Yu. Her tactics were simple: clichéd but effective. Su Yu wasn't afraid, but she was annoyed. Besides, if she messed up today, not only Su Yu, but also the Lu family's reputation would be ruined.
Su Yu was no fool; she naturally understood the intricacies of the situation, so she went along with Li Xi's plan. As soon as she arrived in front of Mr. Lu, she acted sweet and flattering, even playing chess with him for a while. Although her chess skills weren't up to par, she still managed to make the old man laugh.
Li Xi didn't fight for a spot, just pretending to be Su Yu's good friend who wanted to meet Su Yu's grandfather. She greeted him, exchanged greetings, and chatted with him. When she saw Su Yu being completely slaughtered by Old Man Lu, she replaced Su Yu and took over, but was also slaughtered. Then she acted pitifully and acted like a spoiled child at the right time.
By the time someone called Mr. Lu to attend the banquet, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were already having a great time.
Before the old man could tell them to go first, Su Yu spoke up, "Grandpa, let's go together and let your old friends see your beautiful and thoughtful granddaughter." Then he took Li Xi's arm and said, "Oh, and your granddaughter's graceful and elegant friend."
Grandpa Lu smiled and looked at the two little girls in front of him, and he was quite satisfied. "Okay, you two come with me. Stay by my side and I will introduce you to my old friends."
The two of them agreed with a smile and followed Mr. Lu towards the banquet hall.
Soon after entering the banquet hall, she spotted Lu Wantang, standing in a corner with a sullen expression. If the two of them hadn't been with Old Master Lu, Li Xi had no doubt Lu Wantang would have rushed over to stop Su Yu, resorting to her usual tactics of retreating, crying, spouting ambiguous nonsense, and ultimately embarrassing Su Yu in front of everyone.
