As for Lu Zifeng, he'd never taken Su Yu seriously, even though she was his biological sister. Even though Old Man Lu had recently been focusing on Su Yu's development, he didn't consider her a rival. Having been in the company for so long, his connections and resources were far superior to those of Su Yu, a university graduate who hadn't even graduated yet. So, when he encountered Su Yu at a banquet, he'd essentially ignored her. When others asked him about it, he'd say that Grandpa had let them compete fairly, and that Su Yu was still studying and hadn't joined the company, so he didn't know her situation.
In short, just say whatever you want to distance yourself from the issue.
This is a good thing for Su Yu and Li Xi, at least they don't have to bother dealing with him.
Overall, Su Yu and Li Xi had a pleasant party. They took out any unpleasant feelings on the people who caused them the unpleasantness. They just didn't encounter any interesting gossip.
They are all trivial gossips that don't interest people much in guessing the follow-up gossips.
Until the two of them attended a tea party hosted by the Zhou family's grandmother. The attendees that day were all wealthy ladies and daughters, with a wide age range, from teenagers to elderly ladies in their seventies and eighties. For some unknown reason, Lu Wantang and Li Xi's step-sister were not invited. Li Xi, however, had an invitation of her own.
Finally, I’m not just trying to get Su Yu’s invitation!
However, whether or not she was getting an invitation was not important to Li Xi. As a time traveler without any memories, although she could recall the plot and lines of key characters when she saw them, she had no impression of some passers-by or people the original owner had known.
After asking Mian Lao Si to investigate, Li Xi only focused on those who had more contact with the original body. For example, the people who appeared at the Zhou family's tea party today, to be honest, Li Xi didn't recognize most of them.
Perhaps sensing Li Xi's embarrassment, the Zhou family's old lady specifically called Li Xi and Su Yu to her side, holding Li Xi's hand and smiling warmly, as if she were talking to one of her own children. Although the Zhou family's old lady had no children or grandchildren and was the only one in the family, Li Xi felt that she was looking at the younger generation.
Compared to Li Xi's predicament, the old lady of the Zhou family smiled very easygoingly, "Girl, don't you remember me?"
"..." Li Xi didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head and smile awkwardly.
"I don't think you remember. The last time I saw you, you were..." he gestured with his hands, "so small that you couldn't even speak a coherent sentence."
"Grandma has seen me before?" Li Xi looked up in confusion.
"How could I not have seen you before? I even held you in my arms." Here comes the joke, "I held you in my arms when you were a child!"
"I don't have much impression." Li Xi tilted her head, showing some confusion.
"Back then, your grandparents and your mother were still around. Your father... Lai Yiu-ming wasn't the man he is now." Mrs. Zhou snorted softly, clearly disliking Lai. And rightly so, who would like a scumbag who lets his mistress drive his wife to death and then takes her place?
"Do you know my grandfather?"
"Old acquaintance." When the old lady of the Zhou family said this, her eyes looked into the distance, obviously lost in memories.
Over the next hour, Li Xi and Su Yu were forced to learn the stories of their childhood sweethearts: Mrs. Zhou, her husband, and the old man from the Jing family. For these three, it was a carefree time, filled with laughter and playful banter. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that your parents used me as an example to teach you to study hard, and my parents used you as an example to teach me to be lively and outgoing.
It was a distant time, a rather dull memory. But both the narrator and the listener were captivated and left wanting more. It wasn't until the story reached the point where the three of them had grown up, and Mrs. Zhou and her husband finally married.
Perhaps God is also narrow-minded. He can't stand people being too happy, so he sends down disasters.
