Although he already had a preliminary understanding of the Luo family through the original novel, Li Xi still asked Mian Lao Si to compile a file of the Luo family. After all, no matter how elaborate the original novel was, it did not have any photos.
Rather than waiting in the dark for people to introduce themselves one by one, Li Xi would rather take the initiative first.
However, as Luo Jingxuan said, the rich are the boss. Li Xi only saw that they looked familiar and had no interest in studying them thoroughly.
So, a few days before the birthday party, Li Xi continued her life of playing dirty. She would never run if she could walk, never walk if she could stand, never stand if she could sit, and never sit if she could lie down.
Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, I watch TV and play with my phone. Apart from the occasional melancholy moment when I think about the upcoming school term, I can say that I am very happy.
On the day of the birthday party, Li Xi slept until noon. When she woke up and looked in the mirror, she noticed her face had gotten bigger. She didn't know if it was from staying up all night the night before, or if she'd gained weight because she'd been eating too much and not consuming enough.
If it were the old Li Xi, she would have gone to the beauty salon, booked a massage, and tried everything to make her face smaller. But the salty fish Li Xi didn't care at all, and even winked mischievously at herself in the mirror.
Then I happily went downstairs to eat. After eating, I watched some TV series on my phone before being called by the driver to go out with me.
The Luo family's pedigree was there, so even a family banquet would be quite grand. Although she wouldn't wear a formal dress like she did when she attended Shen Zhou's family's cocktail party last time, she still had to dress up a little.
Li Xi is self-aware of her own aesthetic taste. She has no problem looking good in everyday attire, but for more formal occasions, the results she creates can feel a bit cheesy.
So the day after Luo Jingxuan informed her about the family dinner, Li Xi asked Assistant Jiang about the scale of the dinner and asked him to arrange her makeup and clothes.
During this period of slacking, Assistant Jiang even arranged for a team of people to come to Li Xi's home and take her measurements. This was said to facilitate the delivery of new seasonal items and the making of dresses for her in the future. However, Li Xi felt that Assistant Jiang was simply too bothersome to constantly ask her for help with makeup and styling, so he decided to just do it once and for all.
The staff who came to take measurements also said that they would come directly to the villa to do Li Xi's makeup and hair on the day of the banquet. It was Li Xi who felt that it was too much trouble for them and said that she would go to the studio herself.
Because Assistant Jiang had contacted the styling team, she didn't know the staff who had come to the villa to take her measurements. So it wasn't until she stepped into the Xuancao studio and saw Tang Tang that Li Xi realized it was Tang Tang who was doing her makeup this time.
"Sister Tang Tang, long time no see."
"Baby, long time no see." Seeing Li Xi's figure appear at the door of the studio, Tang Tang moved. By the time Li Xi finished greeting her, Tang Tang had already hugged her. Not only did she hug her, she also rubbed her face against Li Xi's.
The moment Tang Tang hugged him, Li Xi's muscles tensed up. Although he had had contact with her last time, he was still not used to her enthusiasm.
"Haha." Li Xi smiled awkwardly and struggled to break free from Tang Tang's embrace without leaving a trace. Fortunately, Tang Tang only held her for a short while before letting go. "I'm sorry to trouble Sister Tang Tang this time."
"What's the trouble? We're friends. I'm happy to serve you. Besides." Tang Tang led Li Xi to the room while chatting. At this point, she looked at Li Xi and raised her eyebrows twice, "Luo Jingxuan is quite generous."
"That's right, the rich are the boss." Li Xi has been saying this almost every day these days. When she heard Tang Tang mention Luo Jingxuan, she said this without thinking.
After he finished speaking, he remembered what he had said and felt annoyed. "No, I meant that Luo Jingxuan is not short of money."
"Hahaha. Luo Jingxuan is indeed not short of money." Tang Tang put her arm around Li Xi's shoulders, holding her stomach and laughing heartily.
Li Xi laughed awkwardly for a while, then asked about today's makeup, "Sister Tang Tang, today is just a family dinner, so we shouldn't need such a formal dress and makeup as last time, right?"
"No need." Speaking of work, Tang Tang immediately put away her smile and began to introduce things to Li Xi seriously. "Today is Grandpa Luo's birthday. Although it's not a big celebration, many Luo family members went to the old house to attend the birthday party. In this case, we have to make a good appearance, so I chose a champagne-colored one-shoulder dress for you. The style is relatively simple, without any cumbersome design, but it is very elegant."
As they chatted, they arrived at the room where Li Xi and the others had done their hair. This was a private room reserved for VIPs, complete with a dressing room and dressing area. The dress Tang Tang had mentioned was already in the room, visible upon entering.
As Tang Tang had said, it was a simple design, and Li Xi liked it at first sight. She imagined herself wearing it, and she was definitely a cool and beautiful woman.
"Go try it on. I've measured your size this time. As long as your weight hasn't changed much during this period, it should fit you well." As soon as Tang Tang entered the house, she asked Li Xi to change her clothes.
Hearing this, Li Xi was too embarrassed to say that she had found her face had gotten bigger when she woke up in the morning. She just blushed quietly and took her clothes to the locker room.
After changing clothes and looking at herself in the mirror, Li Xi couldn't help feeling relieved. Fortunately, only her face had grown bigger, and she didn't gain any weight, so the clothes fit her perfectly.
"How is it? Does it fit?" While Li Xi was rejoicing, Tang Tang was admiring her beauty. In her heart, she couldn't help but despise Luo Jingxuan. He had such a beautiful wife at home, but didn't love her well. He just worked every day. He deserved that he had no wife to love him.
"It fits." Li Xi looked at Tang Tang in the mirror and smiled sheepishly. She moved aside unnoticeably. It wasn't that Li Xi was shy, it was just that the way Tang Tang looked at her was so infuriating that she felt like she was going to drool in the next second.
