Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan were still whispering to each other, while Luo Laosan and his family had already entered the house.
The Luo family brothers and their younger generations all have their own rooms in the old Luo family house, but only Grandpa Luo usually lives there. Everyone else lives in their own house.
The Luo family had always been known for their superficiality. Xiao Lin had already agreed to host the old man's birthday banquet. The Luo family, however, weren't interested in empty fame, and were content to be relaxed, so they didn't argue with them.
Therefore, Xiao Lin came to the old house a few days in advance, and Luo Renbing and his two children also arrived early today. This is why the family came down from the second floor to make their appearance.
Luo Laosan's family wasn't interested in fame, nor did they bother dealing with the scattered relatives from the Luo family's side branches. They arrived even later than Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi. The couple and their only daughter entered through the main gate without making a fuss. Li Xi only realized they were there when the three of them approached.
"Jingxuan, long time no see." Luo Li patted Luo Jingxuan's shoulder with a nonchalant look.
"Third Uncle." Luo Jingxuan greeted politely, then turned to look at Li Xi, "This is my Third Uncle." Then he turned to Luo Li, "This is my wife, Li Xi."
"Third Uncle." Li Xi readily agreed. She couldn't help but look at Luo Jingxuan, her uncle who was always playing overt tricks.
He was seen leaning lazily, his legs crossed, his arms splayed on the sofa. His hair was slicked back, a lollipop dangling from his lips. His shirt was slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbone and the gold cross chain dangling from his neck. Further down, the skull buckle on his belt was casually displayed, gleaming a cold silver light under the villa's lights.
How should I put it? Li Xi's first impression was that he was a gangster, the kind of low-level person who liked to show off. Although the clothes and accessories he wore were expensive, they looked out of place no matter how you looked at them.
Li Xi really couldn't connect him with the man in the original book who liked to play overt schemes and caused the tragic deaths of Luo Yi and his wife with just one word "trouble".
Moreover, this man looks really young, not like he already has an 18-year-old daughter.
"This is my niece's wife. First time meeting her." Luo Li turned the lollipop in his mouth and continued, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare any gift. How about giving you a lollipop?"
As Luo Li was about to take out some candy from his pocket, his wife Yun Mei quickly stopped him, "How can you give someone a lollipop when you first meet them? That's too stingy."
"Yes." Li Xi quickly added, "I don't want the lollipop. If Third Uncle is interested, please give me money. I wouldn't mind even a hundred thousand or a million. Of course, ten million would be even better."
After Li Xi finished speaking, Yun Mei's hand holding Luo Li froze, and the lollipop Luo Li had already held fell to the ground. Luo Li glanced at the lollipop on the ground and laughed. "Hahaha, niece-in-law, is she short of money? What, Jingxuan doesn't give you pocket money?" He patted Luo Jingxuan on the shoulder and said, "Jingxuan, this is wrong. You work so hard to earn so much money, but you don't give it to your wife, but save it for a beautiful woman in your house?"
After Luo Li finished speaking, Luo Jingxuan frowned slightly. Li Xi was also unhappy, but she still raised her smile. "What Third Uncle said, can what my husband gives me be the same as what Third Uncle gives me? We are a legal couple with a certificate. What my husband gives me is mine. What my husband gives me is like money from the left pocket into the right pocket. One less thing to spend. What Third Uncle gives is the love of an elder for the younger generation. What I get is my own money. One money to spend is equal to one earned. Besides, Jingxuan is busy with work every day and comes back to accompany me whenever he has free time. How can he have time to care about the little goblins outside. But Third Uncle, what do you do when you are not working? Does he accompany Third Aunt? Or is he busy flirting with the little girls outside? I heard that men of Third Uncle's age like to cheat the most. Third Uncle, don't you think so? Hahaha."
Li Xi smiled hesitantly, completely unaware of Luo Li's darkening expression. Perhaps she did, but she didn't care. "You made me uncomfortable, and I'm going to make you unhappy too."
Luo Li was silent with a dark face, and Yun Mei was also a little embarrassed. However, Luo Xingyue, who was standing next to him, was so angry that she jumped up and down. She didn't care about her image at all. She just put one hand on her waist and pointed at Li Xi with the other hand, "Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to my dad like that? You have no shame and no manners at all."
"Oh, who is this?" Li Xi pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
"My third uncle's cousin Luo Xingyue." Luo Li and Yun Mei didn't want to talk anymore, but Luo Jingxuan agreed in time.
"So it's my cousin. How could she be so rude? She's like a shrew pointing at others with her hands on her hips in front of so many relatives. If this happened outside, people wouldn't say she's straightforward and cute, but would just say the Luo family has a bad upbringing, raising such a shrewd and ignorant daughter."
"You!" Luo Xingyue wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yun Mei beside her. "My niece-in-law misunderstood. Xingyue has had a good relationship with her father since she was a child, and she can't stand anyone saying anything bad about her father. It was only in a moment of desperation that she lost her composure. Please don't blame me, niece-in-law."
"How could that be? I was just joking with Third Uncle." Li Xi smiled and turned around to look at Luo Li with her big, twinkling eyes, "Right, Third Uncle?
Luo Li snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and didn't want to pay any attention to Li Xi.
Li Xi didn't care. She turned around and faced Yun Mei, smiling and saying hello, "This must be Third Aunt. We haven't officially met yet. Hello, Third Aunt, I'm Li Xi."
"Good boy." Yun Mei smiled gently, took off the bracelet on her wrist, bent down and pulled Li Xi's gloves onto her hands. "Third Aunt didn't prepare any gifts for us. I think this bracelet suits your skin tone very well. I'll give it to you as a gift for us."
Li Xi was slightly surprised, but still followed suit, smiling sweetly, "Thank you, Third Aunt."
Yun Mei smiled without saying anything, said hello, and took Luo Xingyue to talk to other relatives.
Li Xi looked at her gracefully dancing figure and was somewhat impressed by her. She was truly able to keep her composure and was much more formidable than the calculating Xiao Lin. Although Xiao Lin was calculating, at least you knew she was scheming and could guess her intentions to some extent. Yun Mei, on the other hand, was someone who kept everything to herself and would never know when she had offended you.
Yun Mei's family background was that of a scholar. Both her grandfather and parents were teachers. Her grandfather taught in high school, her mother in elementary school, and her father in college.
I don't know how they educate Yunmei behind closed doors, but Yunmei has always been a popular figure in school since she was a child. After all, the teacher is her parent, so even if he is not the teacher of her class, she can still get a lot of protection.
When she went to college, although her father could not give her much protection, Yun Mei was good-looking and had a cheerful personality, so she was always popular until she met Luo Li.
Few people remember their first meeting. Perhaps it wasn't thrilling enough, or perhaps someone deliberately covered it up. Regardless, with Mian Lao Si's abilities, he couldn't find out.
All I know is that they started seeing each other frequently in the second semester of their sophomore year. No one knows who liked whom first, or who pursued whom first. In the end, it was Luo Li who lit the candles, held the roses, played the guitar, and confessed his love at the cafeteria entrance.
Don’t ask why it’s in front of the cafeteria. The reason is that the place is big and suitable for showing off.
