Chapter 8 Two Cinderellas



After parting with Su Yu, Li Xi went straight back to the Imperial Garden. When she got home, it was dinner time, and as expected, Luo Jingxuan hadn't returned. Li Xi didn't care. After all, she treated him as a cheap husband, and he treated her as a vase.

It doesn't matter whether you are here or not, just give the money.

Li Xi thought indifferently while eating the big meal made by her aunt.

After a satisfying meal and a good sleep, Li Xi got up early in the morning. She planned to have breakfast, get ready, and then go out for the appointment.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Luo Jingxuan sitting at the dining table. After hesitating for a moment, I went up and sat next to him.

"Mr. Luo, good morning." Without waiting for Luo Jingxuan's reply, he shouted towards the kitchen, "Auntie Lin, is my breakfast ready?"

Aunt Lin on the other side also responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll be right there~"

Hearing the reply, Li Xi hummed happily twice, and when she turned around, she met Luo Jingxuan's expressionless handsome face.

Very good, the boss’s aura is fully on.

"It seems like you've adapted well." Luo Jingxuan just glanced at Li Xi, then lowered his eyes and continued eating his breakfast. Li Xi took a look: coffee, bread, and eggs. Very good, but not very appetizing.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Li Xi smiled ingratiatingly, "Haha, it's okay. We are all good people."

Luo Jingxuan glanced at her again and chuckled meaninglessly, not knowing whether it was okay or not.

Li Xi really wanted to give him a big slap, and knock on his head and ask him, "What are you laughing at? Who are you showing off to?"

But she didn't dare. The financial sponsor's aura was too strong, and she, a social animal who had been enslaved by her boss for many years, could only complain in her heart, "I'm old, and the days when I had the courage to battle with my boss online are gone forever."

What a miserable life! No matter before or after traveling through time, I will be tortured by the boss.

Just as she was complaining inwardly, Aunt Lin finally brought Li Xi's breakfast: a bowl of pumpkin porridge, a boiled egg, a plate of 10 steamed dumplings, and a plate of 5 fried dumplings.

Li Xi's anger immediately dissipated as she smelled the aroma of the food. Although the boss looked difficult to deal with, the quality of life he provided was truly amazing.

"Thank you, Aunt Lin. It looks delicious. Hehe." Li Xi is always generous in praising those who make delicious food, and her voice becomes much softer.

Aunt Lin just thought the little girl was cute, smiled and said you're welcome, then went back to the kitchen.

Luo Jingxuan on the side couldn't help but get goosebumps, thinking about the obscene smile on his face the day before. In addition to "pervert", "weird", "problematic" and "considered", he added a few more labels to Li Xi, such as "coquettish", "good boy", and "glutton".

If Li Xi knew what he was thinking, she would probably laugh at him.

But Li Xi didn't know, so she continued to enjoy her breakfast which was a bit too much.

After finishing the meal, I wiped my mouth, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. My stomach was full, but my tongue felt like it could still fight. However, I turned around and saw Luo Jingxuan nibbling his bread with a knife and fork, and I felt embarrassed to add more.

He put the dishes into the kitchen and wanted to go back to his room to tidy himself up. But after taking two steps, he remembered that Luo Jingxuan and Shen Zhou were competitors after all, so he should report to Shen Zhou before going to his cocktail party, so he stopped.

"By the way, Mr. Luo, I have an appointment with my friends to attend the Shen Group's celebration party tomorrow. Will it affect you?"

"What impact can it have?"

"That's good." He was about to go back to his room. When he reached the stairs, he heard Luo Jingxuan's voice.

"Contact Assistant Jiang to arrange for the dress and makeup. Dress nicely and don't embarrass yourself."

"I know." He walked upstairs without looking back and waved to the back.

Of course, no one saw it.

As soon as Li Xi returned to the room, she contacted Assistant Jiang immediately. After confirming the usual makeup team, she sent a message to Su Yu to change the meeting place. Although the styling studio they had arranged yesterday was also quite famous, it was not as convenient as the usual one.

Plus, one of them had just returned to a wealthy family, and the other was not from the local area. What if they got scammed? Furthermore, the team that Assistant Jiang contacted didn't have to pay!

After finishing the liaison work, Li Xi began to clean herself up. Changing clothes, washing her face, and applying sunscreen took only about ten minutes.

After finishing it, Li Xi looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. As a long-time office worker, she was really quick in getting ready to go out.

After packing up and going downstairs, Luo Jingxuan was gone. I guess he had gone to work. This saved me the awkward greeting.

As usual, Li Xi called Uncle Wu to help her prepare a car. When she got in, she found that the driver was the same one from yesterday. After asking, she found out that Uncle Wu had assigned this driver to her and would serve her exclusively from now on.

After saving the driver's contact information, Li Xi leaned back in her chair and thought about life. Oh, no, about the plot.

Tomorrow's cocktail party is also described in the original novel, and there is a small conflict. Lu Wantang brings a group of sisters to show off her power to Su Yu, who is just entering the wealthy social circle. Su Yu responds with a verbal attack, but is then slapped in the face by Shen Zhou.

It would be easy to avoid or perfectly resolve this situation. The problem was that the original owner's sister, Li Meng, would also be at tomorrow's reception and was one of the instigators of the conflict. Li Meng was Lu Wantang's lackey, accustomed to putting down those who were inferior and praising those who were superior. She often followed Lu Wantang around, acting as her pawn and mouthpiece.

Li Xi is not afraid of such people, but she is afraid that relatives will not recognize each other when they meet.

Li Xi got goosebumps when she thought of that embarrassing scene, and she immediately took out her cell phone to contact Mian Lao Si.

[Old Four, I suddenly remembered that I seem to have a younger sister. Do you have a photo of her?]
