Chapter 120 Lin Xi is connected to the deaths of Li Sheng's family.
"Xixi, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Xu Wantang asked with a smile.
“Xixi likes spicy food,” Song Xu said, appearing at some point. “What are you all doing standing at the door?”
"It's nothing," Xu Wantang said when she saw Song Qingshi come down as well. "Why did you all come down?"
"President Song." Lin Xi greeted Song Qing politely when she saw him.
“What do you mean by ‘general’?” Xu Wantang patted Lin Xi’s hand. “At home, he’s not qualified to be a general manager. Xi Xi, you can just call him uncle.”
Song Qingshi coughed and said, "Yes, Xixi, you can just call me Uncle Song from now on."
"Uncle Song." Lin Xi obediently called out, wondering to herself, Song Xu's parents are too easy to talk to, and too enthusiastic towards her. Don't they really have any prejudice against each other based on social status?
"We're all family, don't be so reserved," Xu Wantang said softly, seeing that Lin Xi was a little nervous. "Let's go sit down."
"Mom, was someone just here?" Song Xu asked casually when he saw three drinks and two boxes on the coffee table.
"Ah, Lu Yunqi just arrived." Xu Wantang's casual tone made it sound like she was talking about any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
She pulled Lin Xi to sit with her, while Song Qingshi could only sit next to Song Xu.
"Xiaoqi just arrived?" Song Xu asked hastily, noticing Lin Xi's unpleasant expression. "What was she doing here? Why did she leave so quickly?"
"What, you're quite reluctant to see her leave, aren't you?" Xu Wantang glared at Song Xu. "She came here to speak ill of Xixi, not wanting Xixi to marry into the Song family."
"Hmph, I knew this kid was not only bad-minded, but also bad-natured. Luckily, I insisted on stopping your marriage with the Lu family, otherwise you would have regretted it."
Lin Xi glanced at Song Xu indifferently. So he was going to be with Lu Yunqi? No wonder Lu Yunqi was so hostile towards her.
She recalled the photos of Lu Yunqi on her computer, and could tell that Song Xu had taken them with great care.
Song Xu noticed that Lin Xi's eyes were not quite right, and his heart skipped a beat. He had finally made some progress with Lin Xi, and he couldn't let Lu Yunqi ruin it.
"Mom, don't talk nonsense," Song Xu quickly defended himself. "I've never had any romantic feelings for Xiaoqi. I only see her as a younger sister. Right now, Xixi is the only one in my heart."
Lin Xi didn't respond, but gave him a meaningful look before looking away.
Seeing her son's discomfiture, Xu Wantang chuckled to herself. She hated the brother-sister dynamic the most; it annoyed her just looking at it.
For some reason, her two mentally challenged sons only liked their younger sister. Since she didn't want to have any more children, she let Lu Yunqi take advantage of her from a young age.
When she was little, she was alright; she seemed innocent and cute. But as she grew older, Lu Yunqi became more and more adept at pretending, and her feigned cuteness made people feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Yunqi focused all her energy on pleasing men, which caused her academic performance to plummet. Xu Wantang grew increasingly disdainful of her, but out of consideration for the relationship between the Song and Lu families, she had to maintain appearances.
Lu Yunqi's matter must be brought to the forefront, otherwise it will become a thorn in Lin Xi's side and will affect the relationship between Lin Xi and Xiao Xu sooner or later.
She was still hesitant about whether to accept Lin Xi, but after Lu Yunqi came today, and compared them, she suddenly felt that Lin Xi was very outstanding. She was emotionally stable, spoke and acted with propriety, and did not seem like she came from a humble family. She was more like a lady from a well-to-do family.
Xu Wantang rolled her eyes at Song Xu, "You'd better explain things clearly to Xixi. Stop using the brother and sister analogy. Now that you have a girlfriend, all the sisters have to take a backseat."
Lin Xi looked at Xu Wantang in surprise, "Aunt Xu..."
“Xi Xi, this kind of thing can’t be taken lightly,” Xu Wantang said, holding Lin Xi’s hand and glancing at Song Qingshi. “Men always have all sorts of excuses to get in touch with women, like ‘sister,’ ‘work relationship,’ ‘client’… Don’t believe any of these.”
“Wife,” Song Qingshi coughed awkwardly, “Why are you telling Xixi these things? The men of the Song family are very devoted.”
Xu Wantang snorted, "So what if you're devoted? You can't stop people with ulterior motives from using these pretexts to get close to you. How many have I dealt with for you?"
“What does that have to do with me? I’ve never actively pursued any woman,” Song Qingshi retorted.
"If you didn't provoke it, did I provoke it back?"
...
Lin Xi listened to Song Xu's parents talking back and forth, which didn't sound like an argument, but more like they were showing off and displaying their affection.
She envied Song Xu for having such parents, unlike her... The images of her biological parents were already blurred, but what they did to her was deeply etched in her mind, a shadow that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
“Xi Xi,” Song Xu sat down on the other side of Lin Xi and held her other hand, “You have to believe me, there really is nothing between Lu Yunqi and me.”
Lin Xi raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, "Then what's the deal with the photos on your computer?"
"What photos?" Song Xu was completely confused.
"There are many photos of Lu Yunqi on the computer you lent me, and they are very beautiful," Lin Xi asked.
Xu Wantang and Song Qingshi fell silent, listening intently to their son's gossip.
Song Xu quickly remembered, "Those photos were taken when I first started learning photography. Xiao Qi offered to be my model, so I took a few sets of photos and saved them on my computer. I almost forgot about them if you hadn't mentioned them."
"Xiao Xu, what photos did you take of Lu Yunqi?" Xu Wantang asked anxiously. "You didn't take any nude or semi-nude photos, did you?"
“Of course not,” Song Xu licked his lips as he mentioned this. He remembered that Lu Yunqi had actually asked him to help take a set of sexy artistic photos. “Even if Xiaoqi wanted to, I would never agree.”
Xu Wantang knew her son too well. Hearing him say this, she knew that Lu Yunqi had such thoughts, and she felt even more contempt for her.
She's so young and already knows how to seduce men. The Lu family is a wealthy and prestigious family, how could they raise such a disgraceful daughter?
It's no wonder that Madam Lu couldn't be raised properly...
Thinking of Song Chen and then looking at Lin Xi in front of her, Xu Wantang couldn't help but admire Grandma Lin; she had raised both children very well.
After hearing Song Xu's explanation, Lin Xi felt a little less troubled, but it hadn't completely disappeared. Aunt Xu was right; if she wanted to be with Song Xu, then there couldn't be any other women between them.
...
Lu Yunqi left the Song family with a lot of pent-up anger in her heart. Xu Wantang thought Lin Xi was good, right? Then she would show Xu Wantang what kind of trouble Lin Xi really was!
She took out her phone and made a call. "Have someone anonymously report to the police that Lin Xi and Li Sheng's family of three are involved in their deaths."
