Li Xi stared at Fu Tingyuan's departing figure with icy eyes.
I love you so much, yet you only want to use me. Fu Tingshen, Fu Tingshen, you are nothing but a piece of trash.
Thinking of Ye Zhiyu who is with Lu Chen now, she felt a little envious, at least Ye Zhiyu was happy.
But she can no longer turn back, nor is it possible for her to turn back.
It all comes down to "patience." She just needs to be patient and not let her seize the opportunity.
otherwise...
Hah!!!
[System Regression]
Li Xi had given up all hope for this system; it kept disappearing and was no longer as useful as it had been at the beginning.
Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else.
"Not dead yet?"
The cold, mechanical voice paused for a moment, "What did you say? Li Xi, don't forget who brought you back to life."
"I haven't forgotten, but look at you now, half-dead and completely useless. What, you don't expect me to support you, do you?"
Li Xi's blunt mockery infuriated the system.
But she couldn't be found out, and he almost suffocated himself.
“It’s true that I’ve been in a deep sleep lately. You should give this to Ye Zhiyu. Then her luck will all be ours, and I can permanently help you get everything you want.”
Despite the mockery, Li Xi had already tasted the sweetness of good fortune, and she was not going to give it up.
"Mom, your test is too much... Can't you make it a little easier?"
Fu Tingshen recalled the look in Li Xi's eyes when she looked at him earlier.
Complex, disappointed, disheartened...
He finally mustered up the courage to offer his opinion, but Xu Ronghua glared at him and made him shut up.
"What do you mean by 'too much'? Your grandmother treated me the same way back then, much worse. I've already been good enough to her; I'm already being generous by not making her kneel before me."
When her mother-in-law, Fu Tingshen's grandmother, was mentioned, Xu Ronghua's face twisted in anger.
"She hasn't even entered the door yet, and you're already protecting her like this. Once she's inside, wouldn't that be like letting her shit on my head?"
When I gave birth to you, before I was even out of confinement, your grandmother set rules for me, requiring me to kneel and serve her the whole time. If I did anything wrong, she would beat or scold me. Your father didn't say a word back then.
Now it's your turn. You better hold back, or don't even think about getting my approval.
Fu Tingshen responded with a soft "yes".
Li Xi stood outside the door, listening calmly.
Once they had finished talking, I gently knocked on the door.
"What? The young lady who can't stand being wronged is back."
Li Xi, no longer harboring resentment, knelt down meekly.
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I was being willful and petty, thinking that you wanted to humiliate me. Actually, you wanted to test my will. Now I understand, please forgive me."
Xu Ronghua was quite surprised, but she had just recounted how her mother-in-law had treated her before, and now someone was kneeling in front of her, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
She began to understand her mother-in-law somewhat; the feeling of watching her mother-in-law torment her and not daring to resist was incredibly pleasurable.
It has to be said that Li Xi is better than Ye Zhiyu in this respect. Ye Zhiyu's family background is too high, and she is not easy to control. Not to mention, she sometimes has to flatter her. For a moment, she thought that it would be nice if Li Xi were her daughter-in-law.
The next second, she dismissed the idea. No, useless people must not be allowed into her house.
"Hmm, you're quite sensible. Get up."
"Auntie, I offended you today and ruined your invitation to Zhiyu. How about I cook a proper meal for you tomorrow?"
Xu Ronghua was surprised, but didn't think much of it, assuming that she was just trying to please her.
"Okay, do a better job, don't embarrass me."
Li Xi was very compliant and fetched water to serve Xu Ronghua to wash her feet, making her feel very comfortable.
He mercifully waved for Li Xi to leave.
"Xiao Xi".
Fu Tingshen came out and called out to Li Xi, but she just turned around and didn't call him "Brother Tingshen" as sweetly as before.
Although he felt uncomfortable, the thought that she still harbored resentment towards him and was still humble towards his mother softened his gaze.
"Xiaoxi, thank you for your hard work."
Just one sentence brought tears to Li Xi's eyes. "Brother Ting Shen, with your words, I would do anything with joy."
The two embraced, Fu Tingshen was deeply moved, while Li Xi in his arms remained indifferent.
......
"Know me."
Ye Zhiyu had just stepped out of the house to go to the Lu family's residence when Xu Ronghua called her back.
Seriously, can you please stop calling her all the time?
It's so annoying.
She put on a smile again: "What's wrong, Auntie?"
"It's nothing serious. My daughter and I didn't get to eat yesterday, and Li Xi said she'd make you something delicious to make up for it. You absolutely have to agree."
Ye Zhiyu wanted to refuse, but then decided to target Li Xi.
Tsk, here we go again.
I set up a formation tonight; it's been jumping around for quite a while now.
"OK."
Upon arriving at the Lu family home, they split into two groups to review: Lu Ze and Tao Qingtang in one group, and Lu Chen and Ye Zhiyu in the other.
Lu Ze and Lu Chen's high school textbooks are all well-preserved, so there's no need to look for them specifically.
Ye Zhiyu is younger than them and has not been out of high school for long, so she still has that knowledge in her mind, but she needs to review it again to activate it.
I took out my Chinese textbook and flipped through it. It was quite different from the one I had in the previous life, and I needed to relearn some parts.
And most importantly, in addition to the subjects tested in the college entrance examination, there is also a test on quotes from great figures.
It's a very thick book; she has to memorize it carefully.
"Your mother asked you what you wanted to eat for lunch. She made it for you."
Lu Chen came in carrying a thermos.
Ye Zhiyu shook her head, "I'm not eating here today. Tell your aunt not to bother."
"Is something wrong? I'll go back at noon and come back in the afternoon, it's an extra trip." Lu Chen asked, puzzled.
"Yes, you've heard. Fu Tingshen's mother came and dragged me along to give Li Xi a hard time. Although I wasn't too willing, it's a free show, so why not watch it?"
Lu nodded silently and went out to inform Tian Hongfang.
"What's wrong?" He had been silent since the beginning.
Knowing that Lu Chen would most likely keep it to himself, she threw herself onto his broad back and hugged him from behind.
"Tell me, or I'll choke you."
Ye Zhiyu's hand on her neck felt tingly and itchy, and her Adam's apple slid under her hand. She teased it gently, as if she had found something fun.
"Ayu, stop fooling around."
Lu Chen grabbed her playful hand.
"Then tell me quickly."
"I just think... I wish I had met you sooner."
Ye Zhiyu thought to herself, "If you had met me earlier, when the original owner was still around and chasing after Fu Tingshen, it would have been me. How could anything have happened between us? You might even have been provoked and humiliated by Li Xi."
"There's no such thing as 'if only we had known sooner.' The timing of our meeting was the best opportunity. If it had been a little earlier or a little later, something catastrophic could have happened."
