After graduating from high school, those fake sisters didn’t have the money to enter the finance department of Jiangcheng University. Some went to second-rate schools to live a dull life, while others went abroad to study and gain experience.
After entering university, Yuan Wen Li Xi didn't have many fake girlfriends anymore. She only attended classes for a few days and then slacked off for a few days. She also didn't participate in class activities. After a year, she didn't know most of the students well.
At first, Li Xi was glad that she was not familiar with him, otherwise it would be too easy to be exposed.
Who knew this would be the case after going to school?
Lu Wantang was fine; they'd been classmates for a year, yet the last time they met, they didn't even recognize each other. On the first day of school, they met in the classroom, their eyes meeting, each visibly awkward. The awkwardness faded, and although Li Xi didn't have a fondness for Lu Wantang, they saw him constantly at school, so she decided to avoid provoking him.
Luo Xingming, too, seemed to have just learned they were classmates. The moment their eyes met, Li Xi saw panic in hers. That's right, Luo Xingming was so well-known around school for being such a pushover, how could Li Xi, a classmate of hers, not know about it? So, was Li Xi hinting at something when she said that day at the birthday party?
Li Xi didn't pay much attention to her. Apart from being a little love-sick, Luo Xingming was fine in other aspects. She had a good brain and could be a very good heir if trained well.
Li Xi simply lamented, "Is Li Xi so invisible at school? Her erratic and unruly behavior aside, even with her face right there, no one commented on her, no one approached her, no one discussed her. Is this scientific? Is this reasonable?"
It's unscientific and irrational, but this is fiction. Just a cannon fodder, with no sense of existence in school, that's normal.
Normal shit! If they really had no sense of existence, why would these people hang around in front of me all day? All the dirty talk and all the nasty things they say!
Although they were all talking about topics related to the Li family, such as "The Li family, the unfavored daughter", "The original wife can't beat the mistress", "The illegitimate child becomes the beloved", etc. If it were the original Li Xi, she would have jumped up and fought them for three hundred rounds, but Li Xi didn't care at all when they talked about the Li family. She just found their chattering annoying.
Some people also talked about the last cocktail party, saying that Li Xi was sharp-tongued, rude, and uncultured. However, they didn't dare to confront Li Xi directly for fear of being scolded, so they could only grumble behind her back, which annoyed Li Xi a lot.
"Xixi, how are you doing at school these days? Are you tired?"
"Don't mention it. I feel like I'm being tortured instead of at school." Li Xi put her chopsticks down on her rice bowl, took a gulp of water, and then slammed the cup down. "Today I realized how loud people can get when they start gossiping. They don't dare confront me directly, so they just gossip around me, sometimes at the Li family, sometimes at a cocktail party. It's as if if they say too much bad stuff about me, I'll disappear."
"It can't be helped. Your major is full of rich kids from the same circle, so even the smallest incident will spread to everyone. But they just talk about it."
Su Yu picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of soup, then continued, "Isn't your husband very capable? If you move him out, will they be a little more cautious and say less?"
"It's better not to make my relationship with Luo Jingxuan public." Li Xi chewed the food quickly and swallowed it before continuing, "If I run into trouble and ask Luo Jingxuan for help, I'd be too incompetent. Besides, only our two families know about our marriage now, after all, the reason for our marriage was ridiculous. Let's talk about making it public later."
"You didn't explain the reason for your marriage in detail before. What's going on?"
"Hmph." Li Xi snorted lightly, "You're scheming against me, and I'm scheming against you. Luo Jingxuan is a good guy after all, so I can say it's a blessing in disguise. But I don't want to rely too much on him. I still have to find a way to solve problems myself. Besides, they'll just make a few sarcastic remarks at most, and after a while, when no one pays attention, they'll naturally die down."
"All right."
The two of them ate in silence for a while.
Su Yu was still thinking about what kind of reason for marriage would force Li Xi to give in.
Of course, she didn't know that it was Li Xi in the original text who surrendered. The reason for her surrender was very simple. Li Yaoming cried in front of her with tears and snot, "Xiao Xi, Daddy needs you." Then the original Li Xi willingly married herself.
hehe.
Li Xi stopped thinking about the trivial things at school. She was thinking about what dish to cook when she got home in the evening.
Li Xi used to have a bad habit. When she was upset, she would buy a bunch of root vegetables, such as potatoes, lotus roots, carrots, etc., and take them home to shred them.
The clacking sound of the knife hitting the cutting board calmed Li Xi's restless mind and brought her back to a state of complete peace. Sometimes she would use the chopped vegetables in cooking, and sometimes she would just throw them away.
After chopping too many times, Li Xi felt it was a waste, and slicing thinly was a strain on both her eyes and hands. While her mental stress was relieved, her physical stress returned. So, Li Xi changed her approach to relieve stress—cooking a dish with a slightly more complicated process.
During this time, Li Xi had been feeling a bit irritated by her classmates' chatter and the flood of new knowledge she was overflowing with. Although she didn't mind, she was definitely a bit irritated. So, she decided early in the morning to cook.
I have already decided what to make - braised beef!
After making the decision, Li Xi immediately contacted Aunt Lin and asked her to help prepare the ingredients for her to cook when she returned in the evening. By the way, she also asked Assistant Jiang if Luo Jingxuan would be returning to the villa in the evening. If so, she would add a few more dishes.
After Li Xi and Su Yu finished their meal, Assistant Jiang's reply arrived. Luo Jingxuan was going back to eat that evening and had even ordered braised lion's head. Li Xi rolled her eyes secretly. The boss was really rude.
