Chapter 11 If you're so capable, go to the hospital for a checkup.
Lin Xi paused, then heard Li Sheng's mother's voice.
“Aunt Lin, please calm down. Xiao Sheng’s father and I are here to propose marriage sincerely. There is 20,000 yuan in this card. As long as you agree to their marriage, the money in this card is yours.”
"Whether Xixi goes to university or not is up to her. As long as she and Xiaosheng consummate their marriage first, and then get a marriage certificate when she reaches the appropriate age in two years, our Li family can support Xixi's education."
"Of course, it would be even better if Xixi didn't want to go to university. Xiaosheng's dad and I can help her find a job, where she can easily earn two or three thousand a month."
"Get out!" Grandma Lin shouted angrily. "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves? What kind of person is your Li Sheng? How dare he make a move on my Xixi? Get out of here right now!"
“Aunt Lin,” Li Sheng’s mother patiently advised, “Xi Xi isn’t your own granddaughter. If you let her finish college, she’ll definitely fly away when she’s all grown up. Who will take care of you in your old age then?”
"You might as well let Xixi marry our Xiaosheng. We can help you keep an eye on her and keep her from going anywhere. She can stay by your side and take care of you. It's a win-win situation. Isn't that great?"
Lin Xi was furious when she heard this at the door. She pushed the door open and walked in with a cold face, glancing at the several crudely packaged gift boxes on the table.
She reached out, picked up the gift boxes, walked to the door, and threw them out.
"Xixi, what are you doing?" Li Sheng's mother looked at the gift box that had been thrown away with heartache.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, turned around to grab a broom, and swung it at Li Sheng's parents, saying, "Get out of here, and don't ever come to our house again."
Li Sheng's parents were kicked out of the house and were hit several times with a broom. Li Sheng's father cursed, "Lin Xi, you little bitch, how dare you hit us! You've been slept with by so many men, only our Xiao Sheng is still devoted to you. A piece of trash like you will never get married in your entire life..."
Before Li Sheng's father could finish speaking, a basin of water was spilled out and poured right into his mouth.
"Pah!" Li Sheng's father spat out the rotten vegetable leaves in his mouth, smacked his lips, and loudly demanded, "What kind of water did you splash?"
"Rice water and vegetable washing water," Grandma Lin said, holding a basin in one hand and her other hand on her hip, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll change it to poop and pee and throw it all over you."
The noise was so loud that all the neighbors on the second floor came out to see what was going on.
“We’re not making this up,” Li Sheng’s mother said, looking disheveled and furious. “Our Xiao Sheng saw Lin Xi get out of a luxury car with his own eyes. The man in that car was in his fifties or sixties.”
"Lin Xi has been wearing makeup and going out early and coming back late these days. What kind of good girl does that? I wonder what she's up to outside. Pah! Shameless."
"What you're doing is spreading rumors, I can sue you!" Lin Xi said angrily, her face turning red.
She used to sympathize with Li Sheng's parents, thinking they were unlucky to have raised a son like Li Sheng. Now she thinks they deserve it, that they deserve to be dragged down by Li Sheng for the rest of their lives.
Li Sheng's mother curled her lip, "Sue us? What right do you have to sue us? If you're so capable, go to the hospital and get a physical exam. If you're still a virgin, I'll apologize to you, okay?"
"You..." Lin Xi's chest felt tight, and she had difficulty breathing. What did it matter to them whether she was a virgin or not? There was no point in arguing with them.
The neighbors who had been watching the commotion began to whisper among themselves.
"Lin Xi isn't responding anymore. Could it be that she really went out to sell herself?"
"I've heard that many female students in college go astray."
"She hasn't even gone to college yet, how could she have gone astray?"
"It's all about the money. To be honest, Lin Xi does have some assets, look at that waist... I wonder how much it costs to sleep with her once."
"We're neighbors, so I'm sure I can give you a discount, hahaha!"
The mocking and teasing voices reached Lin Xi and her grandmother's ears. Lin Xi trembled with anger. These people were doing it on purpose. They were just like the Li family, unable to bear seeing her and her grandmother happy.
Hearing the neighbors slandering Lin Xi, Grandma Lin felt her blood rush to her head. Suddenly, she felt a terrible headache and her body swayed. With her last bit of consciousness, she grabbed Lin Xi's arm and mumbled Lin Xi's name, "Xi Xi!"
Lin Xi turned around and saw Grandma Lin leaning straight back. She caught her in time, her expression flustered, "Grandma, what's wrong?"
Upon seeing this, Li Sheng's parents exchanged a glance, picked up the gift box from the ground, and ran back to their own home.
The other neighbors also went back into their rooms and closed their doors.
The once bustling corridor fell silent instantly, with only Lin Xi holding her grandmother and weeping bitterly.
Lin Xi took out her phone, her hands trembling violently, and it took her several tries to dial the emergency center number.
...
The next day, Song Xu arrived at Xingyue Hotel on time, his eyes searching for a familiar figure at the registration desk.
Good morning, Mr. Song!
Unfortunately, he didn't see the person he wanted to see; the receptionist was a strange girl.
Xiaoli was especially happy to take Lin Xi's place today. When she saw Song Xu walking over, her eyes seemed to have hooks, as if she wanted to pull him into her arms.
Song Xu simply responded politely and turned his gaze back towards the venue.
Xiaoli's expression changed in disappointment, and the corners of her mouth turned down.
The lobby manager saw all this and scoffed inwardly. She walked over, tapped the table, and warned Xiaoli, "Keep smiling and don't covet things you can't reach."
Xiaoli's face turned from red to white. She bit her lower lip and forced a smile. "I don't know what you're talking about."
The lobby manager had someone remove the chair behind Xiaoli, saying, "People can have dreams, but they can't have delusions."
How could someone like President Song possibly be interested in someone as ordinary as Xiao Li?
Although Lin Xi's appearance is not stunning, it is still above average. Most importantly, she has a calm temperament, neither obsequious nor aggressive, making her very comfortable to be around.
The lobby manager greatly admired this kind of girl, and she believed that President Song must feel the same way, which was why he favored Lin Xi so much.
Tears welled up in Xiaoli's eyes. She couldn't understand what she had done wrong. She had only greeted President Song, and the lobby manager had mocked her like that.
The lobby manager didn't even glance at her before turning and leaving.
Xiaoli held back her tears and secretly made up her mind: Lin Xi, I will beat you sooner or later!
Song Xu sat in the meeting room, but his thoughts were elsewhere. Lin Xi had texted him when she got home last night and sent him the taxi receipt. She should have been alright, but why didn't she come today?
He took out his phone, twirled it in his hand for a long time, and finally opened his chat with Lin Xi, sending her a message: "Why didn't you come to greet us today?"
About ten minutes later, Lin Xi replied: "I'm sorry, Mr. Song, my grandmother is hospitalized and I have no one to take care of her, so I have to stop my part-time job."
Song Xu frowned slightly, then sent a message without thinking: 【Which hospital?】
