Chapter 91 Mind Control
After finishing the call, Guo's father looked at the door, didn't knock, and just spoke to the inside.
"I've already called Li Yanxi to come over. If you want to see him, just come down yourself."
After saying that, Guo's father frowned and pulled his wife downstairs who was about to speak.
When he returned to the living room, he didn't see Guo Xiaoxiao coming down. Guo's father guessed that his daughter might have gone to contact Li Yanxi. He sighed tiredly and greeted the guests.
Gu Yunrong pulled Guo's mother aside to ask about the beauty salon. Lu Yuan and Jiang Ning chatted with each other from time to time, which made the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Li Yanxi finally arrived. Just as he entered the Guo family's house, Guo Xiaoxiao, who had locked herself in her room for two days, also came down.
It's clear from the looks of it that the two of them had contact just now.
Jiang Ning looked at Guo's father and mother. Both of their faces darkened, and their eyes were filled with disappointment in Guo Xiaoxiao.
It was Li Yanxi's first time to visit the Guo family. He had never seen such a luxurious villa. Even though Guo Xiaoxiao had spent a lot of money on him, he currently lived in a large flat in a high-end community, which he rented. How could he have the money to buy a villa of this size?
However, considering that Guo Xiaoxiao is now completely devoted to him, and that she has been on a hunger strike for the past two days, the Guo family will most likely compromise for the sake of their daughter and accept him as their son-in-law.
Li Yanxi sat down on the sofa with a swagger, allowing Guo Xiaoxiao to sit next to him with a shy and honored look on her face.
"Mr. Guo, you called me here to discuss Xiaoxiao and my marriage, right? Mr. Guo has investigated my family's situation and knows it very well. My family can't afford a betrothal gift. Let's just go through the motions. How about 8,800?"
Li Yanxi knew that Guo's father loved his daughter, but so what? The information he investigated was shown to him by his beloved daughter, so it was of no use.
After he said this, he looked at Guo's father with great interest, waiting for him to get angry.
In fact, Li Yanxi still had several million transferred by Guo Xiaoxiao in his card, so he could give a face-saving betrothal gift.
He could afford it, but it was the Guo family who looked down on him so much. He would let them see that even if he only gave such a small amount of betrothal gift to humiliate Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao would still beg to marry him.
"We don't marry off our daughters in our family, so you should keep that money to reserve an urn for yourself!" Guo's father said coldly.
Li Yanxi frowned, but glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao who was sitting next to him with a dull look in her eyes, kicked her with her foot, and said in a frivolous tone.
"Guo Xiaoxiao, tell me, will you marry me? I am the person you love most and the most important to you in this world. Will you fight against your family for our love?"
Jiang Ning, who was sitting on the other side, noticed that when Li Yanxi said this, his tone seemed to carry a strong sense of instruction. When he said this, Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes moved, and then with a determined look on her face as if she was fighting for love, she stood in front of Li Yanxi and said to Guo's father.
"Dad, I want to marry Yan Xi. He's so nice. He even buys me milk tea and flowers, and never forgets to bring me food when he goes out to eat with his classmates. This is the first time I've felt warmth and love from an outsider, and I've decided on him. If you don't let me marry him, I'd rather leave the Guo family, stop being the eldest daughter of the Guo family, and be an ordinary, loving couple with Yan Xi."
Every word Guo Xiaoxiao said was tearing at the heart of Guo's father and mother. They covered their chests and pointed at Guo Xiaoxiao angrily, unable to understand why their daughter would say such words one day.
"If you really marry him, you have to..." Get out!
Before Mr. Guo finished speaking, a voice came into everyone's ears.
[Li Yanxi gave the milk tea to the school beauty as a gift, but she didn't want it. He found the flowers in the trash can. If you look closely, you'll see a card with another girl's name on it. As for the packed food, isn't that the unfinished meal that Li Yanxi and the girl had at the hotel?]
Jiang Ning flipped through the refreshed melons and looked at Li Yanxi with disgust.
[The good of treating your girlfriend like a garbage disposal center can make you feel loved and at home. Is this place really not a garbage dump?]
Guo Xiaoxiao, who was still reminiscing about how good her boyfriend was to her, heard how cheap all that was and that her boyfriend had even asked another girl out to the hotel. Her face froze and she rolled her eyes twice to look at Jiang Ning. Her originally dim eyes seemed to regain some spirit.
Li Yanxi, who was suddenly exposed, looked at Jiang Ning immediately. After seeing that she was a female celebrity who had been in the limelight recently, a frivolous smile appeared on his face again, which he thought was handsome.
"Xiaoxiao, you too, why didn't you tell me that you knew a celebrity? If you had known, you would have brought a gift for Miss Jiang. It's so rude to come here empty-handed."
As his voice echoed in her ears, Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes, which had just shown some light, were covered with mist again, and she apologized in panic as if by reflex.
"It's my fault, Yan Xi, don't be angry with me. I'll do anything you ask me to do."
Seeing their spoiled daughter admitting her mistakes to a man who treated her like that and cheated on her, Guo's father and mother really wanted to tear Li Yanxi apart.
"What's wrong?! What did you do wrong to apologize? Jiang Ning doesn't know him, so why should he give her those gifts he found as a beggar?"
After saying that, Guo's father winked at his wife, and Guo's mother ignored Li Yanxi, pulled Guo Xiaoxiao over to Jiang Ning, and introduced her gently.
"Jiang Ning, this is my daughter. She's about the same age as your sister. You can call her Sister Xiaoxiao."
Jiang Ning responded and called out sweetly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, please sit here. I heard from my sister that you opened a clothing studio. Maybe I'll order clothes from you in the future."
Facing a younger sister, who was also a beautiful one, Guo Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She glanced at Li Yanxi again, hesitating whether she should sit down.
She seemed to be waiting for instructions. Looking at Li Yanxi over there, he was leaning there with his hands folded, as if he was confident that Guo Xiaoxiao would obediently return to him. Jiang Ning took Guo Xiaoxiao's finger and pulled her to sit next to him.
"Mr. Li isn't a child who needs constant care. This is my first time here, Xiaoxiao. Please forget about your giant baby boyfriend for now."
As she got closer to Jiang Ning, Guo Xiaoxiao inexplicably felt that her chaotic mind became a little clearer, and she couldn't help but forget about Li Yanxi.
On the contrary, Li Yanxi, who was called a giant baby by Jiang Ning, and saw that his girlfriend was disobedient, sneered and said.
"Miss Jiang is a big star, but I didn't expect that behind the camera she's such a busybody. Is it because she can't find a man to marry her, so she wants to tear him apart?"
These fatherly words made Lu Yuan, who had been quietly watching the show and waiting for Jiang Ning to make a move, couldn't help but stand up. She looked Li Yanxi up and down with a look as if he were looking at garbage, and spoke critically.
"Even a toad like you who spends women's money and wears fancy clothes but still wants to pretend to be a frog can find a girlfriend. My sister is beautiful, kind, and has a lot of money. She can't even pick a man. Why does she need a toad like you to care about her?"
This was not the first time that Lu Yuan had confronted Li Yanxi. Every time they met, Li Yanxi would be scolded. If Guo Xiaoxiao spoke up for him, she would also be scolded indiscriminately. After a few times, Li Yanxi was afraid of this young lady from the richest family.
With the cowardly spirit of not being able to provoke but also not being able to hide, Li Yanxi picked on the weak.
"Guo Xiaoxiao, why don't you hurry over? I've already said that I'm the only one who truly likes you. Look at the people in this room, who truly cares about you?"
