While Li Xi was daydreaming, a text message from Assistant Jiang arrived.
Knowing that Luo Jingxuan was about to come home, Li Xi immediately gathered her thoughts and returned to the kitchen to prepare soup and stir-fry. When Luo Jingxuan arrived home, the last dish was also on the table.
As usual, Luo Jingxuan went back to his room to change clothes, and Li Xi set the table and served the rice and soup.
After a mouthful of warm carrot soup, Li Xi's slightly depressed mood instantly brightened up. Sure enough, there's nothing a bite can't solve. If there is, then two bites are enough.
It was Luo Jingxuan's first time to drink this kind of carrot soup. He was a little curious about how it was made, so he asked, "How is this soup made? It's so white without meat."
"Hehe." Li Xi smiled maliciously. This rich young master was too out of touch with the real world. "Who said that only meat can make the soup white? Add more oil and fry an egg. Simmer for a while, and the soup will be white."
"I see." Luo Jingxuan nodded with an instructive look on his face, then took another sip of soup. "Did you cook at the Li family before? I think you're quite good at it." He glanced at Li Xi out of the corner of his eye.
"No." Li Xi had already thought of a "reason" and rehearsed her response in her mind. Now she was very confident. "Li Yaoming doesn't care about me, and Jian Ruolan keeps saying that she treats me better than her own children. Why would she let me cook by myself? Besides, they probably don't let me into the kitchen because they're afraid I might blow it up or poison it. This is the first time I've cooked since I came to your house."
"Oh? You did it so well the first time?" Luo Jingxuan didn't quite believe it, but he had no reason to doubt it.
"I'm just gifted. Hehehe." Li Xi smiled proudly. It wasn't a lie. Li Xi started helping her parents cook when she was very young. Although she couldn't remember what the first dish she made tasted like, as an adult, she could cook from a recipe, and even if it was her first time, the food tasted delicious.
Therefore, Li Xi believed that she might have some talent in cooking.
Luo Jingxuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her smug look, "Well, you're doing very well. You can open a restaurant now."
"Really?" Li Xi ignored the beef that was about to reach her mouth. She put down her chopsticks and stared at Luo Jingxuan with her big round eyes. "Do you think my cooking skills are good enough to open a restaurant?"
"Okay." Luo Jingxuan also put down his chopsticks and said solemnly to Li Xi, "It has all the flavors and aromas. Many private restaurants' dishes may not be as good as yours."
"Hehe." Li Xi smiled proudly, "If I can't find a job, I'll open a restaurant."
"That's a good idea." Seeing that Li Xi had no intention of discussing the matter further, Luo Jingxuan picked up his chopsticks again. "By the way, the results of the Zhao family's corruption case are almost out."
"Really?" Li Xi became excited upon hearing this. She had been thinking about asking Luo Jingxuan about his progress, but she didn't expect him to bring it up on his own initiative. "I was wondering if you haven't been that busy lately."
Luo Jingxuan chuckled, swallowed the food in his mouth, and slowly said, "Except for the group headquarters, Zhao's industries have been almost completely divided up by capital in recent times. Luo's only took a few projects with more potential. Most of them were taken by others, so I'm not as busy as you think."
"They say the business world is like a battlefield. That's what I learned in college, and what the teachers taught was very practical. But when I really encountered it, to be honest, I didn't understand it at all." Li Xi shrugged and said that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear, but many things, without practice, are just empty talk and are of no use at all.
"Are you interested in this? If so, you could intern at the company during your vacation. Even if it's just with Assistant Jiang, you'll learn a lot," Luo Jingxuan suggested sincerely. From the last "Zhao Haoran Kill Plan," it was clear that Li Xi had some brains and strong logic, though she was still quite immature. With a little practice, she might even surpass him in the future.
"No, no." Li Xi almost shook her head like a rattle. "We have one in our family, and you just need to make money. I can eat, drink, and have fun like a rich wife every day. Isn't that nice? When I'm bored, I'll dig up some rich family gossip and share it with the general public. Becoming a strong woman in the workplace, walking with the wind, etc., is really not for me."
Come on, I've already been a social slave. Now that I have the conditions to play it down, why should I strive? Why should I endure the hardships of the workplace? Dreams and all that? Those were eight hundred years ago. I'm not chasing them anymore.
"Our home?" Luo Jingxuan murmured softly, so quietly that Li Xi, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't hear it clearly.
"What?"
"It's nothing. If you don't want to go, forget it. Just remember that Luo's family welcomes you anytime, that's all."
"Okay. Eat it quickly, or it will get cold later."
"good."
After that, the two of them exchanged a few words occasionally, but they didn't talk in depth. They mainly ate their meals. Knowing that the Zhao case was about to be closed, Li Xi was so happy that she ate half an extra bowl of rice.
The result is predictable: I ate too much.
She had originally wanted to sit down with Luo Jingxuan to discuss the specifics of the Zhao family's current situation, but now she couldn't sit still anymore. Li Xi couldn't drag Luo Jingxuan out to walk around the garden to digest his food, so she could only watch him go upstairs to the study while she slowly moved out, holding her waist.
The night breeze brought a slight clarity to Li Xi's brain, which had been clouded by her meal. The quiet environment allowed her to recall the plot of the book.
In the original novel, after Su Yu was taken back to the Lu family, her identity was initially kept secret, with only specious rumors circulating within the family circle. Furthermore, since she hadn't changed her surname, Su Yu struggled to integrate into the wealthy Lu family's social circles for a long time after returning. She was often mocked and ridiculed at public events.
