Li Xi looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a girl about her own age. She had dyed her hair yellow and tied it into two ponytails. She was wearing a white shirt with a black long skirt and a large red bow at the collar. She also had an eye patch on one eye.
Li Xi’s first reaction was, how childish.
While it's possible that she had an eye injury, the girl still feels too 2D. Compared to being sick or injured, Li Xi thinks the eye patch is just for show and not practical.
But when I think about her last feat, it wouldn't be wrong to say that she's a bit of a middle school student.
While Li Xi was still daydreaming, the two of them had already faced each other.
"Ms. Su, it takes time to look up information. It's only been a few days since I accepted your commission." This was the speechless Mian Lao Si.
"If it takes time, shouldn't you be busy? How do you have time to date here, with..." This was the middle school warrior who suddenly turned around to look at Li Xi, "Wow, with such a beauty."
As he said that, he squeezed towards the stool where Li Xi was sitting, and put one hand around Li Xi's arm, "Beauty, my name is Su Yu, what's your name?" His eyes without the blindfold stared at Li Xi without blinking, as if he was drooling over her beauty.
"Um, my name is Li Xi." Although Li Xi was interested in this middle school warrior, oh yes, Su Yu, she was still a little repulsed by the touch of a stranger, even if the other person was a woman. As she spoke, she was about to pull her arm back.
However, Su Yu didn't seem to feel Li Xi's rejection at all. She grabbed Li Xi's arm and refused to let go. "Li Xi, can I call you Xixi? You can call me Xiaoyu. Hehe."
"Um, can you let me go first? I'm not used to being so close to strangers." Li Xi was still trying to pull her arm free.
"Is that so." This time Su Yu let go obediently, "Then after we get to know each other, will you be willing to get close to me?" As he said this, one of his eyes blinked, which looked quite nice.
Li Xi nodded reluctantly, not knowing how to get along with this enthusiastic Xiaoyu in the future.
Wait, Su Yu!
Li Xi, slow to react, finally remembered why this middle school hero's name sounded so familiar. This was the vicious female supporting character in the original novel, Su Yu, the real daughter in the story of the real and fake daughters! Of course, the viciousness here was only relative to the protagonist. The original Su Yu wasn't actually vicious at first, but was gradually forced into it by the original male and female protagonists.
Moreover, she's not exactly guilty of many vicious acts. For the first two-thirds of the story, Su Yu's primary focus is vying for the original heroine's affections, her parents' favor, and Shen Zhou's affections. In the last third, hurt so deeply by her family and friends, she's left heartbroken and yearning for revenge, leading her to commit acts worthy of legal scrutiny.
Under the halo of the male and female protagonists, it didn't cause much impact.
Li Xi would say that what this kid did wasn't as vicious as what the male protagonist Shen Zhou did. Later in the story, in order to defeat the villainous boss Luo Jingxuan, he staged a honey trap, deceiving the original Li Xi, deceiving her body, heart, and secrets. This led to the original Li Xi's tragic end.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. As poor people who were persecuted by the male and female protagonists of the original novel, Li Xi decided that from this moment on, we are friends.
"Of course, we'll be best friends from now on and can be close to each other anytime and anywhere." She replied with a big smile.
Seeing the beautiful woman's smile, Su Yu also smiled. Her smile was very cute, but it didn't quite match the middle school makeup.
Mian Lao Si, who was sitting opposite, looked at the two girls he had just met. After just a few words, they became friends who smiled at each other foolishly. He sighed and said that he really couldn't understand why girls nowadays would trust a stranger so easily.
He naturally didn't know that the two people opposite him, one had a Chuunibyou and had no resistance to beautiful women, while the other had the original plot in hand, didn't understand himself but knew Su Yu very well.
"It seems like you two hit it off right away. So, I, the extra person, will withdraw first?"
"Don't worry, I'll ask about the progress." Hearing that Mian Lao Si was about to leave, Su Yu, who was obsessed with beauty, finally came to his senses. "It's been a few days, it's not possible that we haven't found anything, right?"
"Basic information is of course no problem." When it came to business, Mian Lao Si became more serious than before. He did not avoid the third person, Li Xi, and started reporting directly.
"What you're looking for is Shen Zhou, the heir to the Shen Group, also known as Young Master Shen. Simply put, this person is a child of the emperor, a child from a wealthy family. He's been outstanding since childhood. I'll compile his life experiences, likes and dislikes, hobbies, and social circles into a document and send it to you later. Let me first tell you what you're most concerned about, his upcoming schedule. In two days, the Shen Group will launch a new product, and a celebration reception will be held at the Miradeng Hotel. You can go if you have an invitation. I'll get one for you." As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his briefcase and handed it to Su Yu. He glanced at Li Xi and added, "You can bring a companion."
Su Yu took the invitation, opened it, and tugged at Li Xi's clothes. "Are you going?"
To be honest, Li Xi was still confused. What happened? The plot has progressed to the point where Su Yu fell in love with Shen Zhou?
"Do you like this Shen Zhou?"
"A little bit, he's quite good-looking. He's also a family friend. Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself to you yet." She slapped her thigh hard. Li Xi felt so sorry for her.
"Actually, there's not much to introduce. You just know whether it's a real or fake daughter." Li Xi nodded.
"I'm the real daughter who was taken away by mistake. They just found her not long ago. There's also a fake daughter in our family, my adoptive parents' biological daughter, named Lu Wantang. She's pretty, but she seems a bit slow-witted. She always stutters and blames me, saying it's all my fault. She bursts into tears mid-sentence. I get really irritable just looking at her, and she cries when I say a few words. My biological parents then blame me, saying things like, 'Tangtang is our daughter too, don't blame her, get along well,' blah blah blah. I can't argue with them, and it's hard to persuade them. This Shen Zhou is Lu Wantang's childhood sweetheart, and they were betrothed to her in our family. They were supposed to be engaged this year, but with the whole "real daughter" thing going on, they haven't decided who to marry yet. There's a lot to consider, between the previous generation's friendship and a business marriage. I just want to get to know him first and get to know him. Whether it works out, and with whom, we'll see."
