Chapter 10 Li Xi: I'm really a cartoonist, Yun Ge
Li Xi took Jiang Xinghe to her room.
Everything was still there. It seems the Xie family was too busy preparing to entertain their distinguished guest to pack up and throw away her luggage.
Li Xi immediately found the computer and carefully checked it.
Still not reassured, she turned back to Jiang Xinghe and asked, "Do you know anything about computers? Can you check if it's been infected with any viruses or anything?"
All the documents on her computer were encrypted, so Xie Jiaoyue and the others couldn't open them.
But I'm afraid they might secretly install a virus.
"I know a little." Jiang Xinghe chewed gum, held his laptop, and sat on the wooden floor at the foot of her bed, leaning against the bed to check for viruses.
Li Xi quickly packed up her important documents and several sets of seasonal clothing.
Finally, she opened a hidden compartment in the wardrobe and took out her father's memorial tablet and portrait.
"The computer is fine." Jiang Xinghe turned off the computer and looked up to see Li Xi standing in front of him holding a black and white portrait of a deceased person, which startled him.
"What the hell!"
Jiang Xinghe was startled and immediately stood up.
"So timid? You've walked the night road before, seen ghosts?" Li Xi stuffed the memorial tablet into his bag, wrapped the portrait in his clothes, and stuffed it into his luggage as well.
Jiang Xinghe then remembered Li Xi's background and asked her, "Is that your biological father? The one who used to be the driver for the Xie family?"
“He’s not my biological father, but he’s almost like one,” Li Xi said. “I was an abandoned baby, hanging from a crooked tree on a cliff, and my father rescued me and brought me home.”
“I was less than a month old back then. My father had been struggling to find a wife because of me, his burden.”
Li Xi slung her bag over her shoulder and sighed, "If I hadn't met him, my father might still be alive, living a happy family life."
Jiang Xinghe was silent for a moment before saying, "You are happier than me."
Although she was an abandoned baby, she received a father's love that healed her for the rest of her life.
He was the eldest son of the Jiang family, but he had a childhood that he could never heal from, even after a lifetime of suffering.
"Let's go." Jiang Xinghe picked up Li Xi's laptop bag, then reached for the other suitcase but couldn't lift it. "What's in here?"
Li Xi said, "Comic books."
"You're a comic book fan?"
Li Xi casually replied, "I draw comics."
Jiang Xinghe laughed at her: "Oh, really? What famous works have you written? Tell me about them."
Jiang Xinghe was also obsessed with comics in high school and read many famous comics. To this day, his favorite is the "Seven Days of Nightmare" series by suspense master Yun Ge.
Li Xi said, "A seven-day nightmare."
Jiang Xinghe laughed loudly, "Who are you kidding!"
Seven Days of Nightmare burst onto the scene five years ago and became an instant hit online. The published physical comic book has already sold over ten million copies.
Yun Ge, the author of "Seven Days of Nightmare," is thus known as the King of Asian Suspense Comics.
Looking at the young woman in black cotton shoes in front of him, Jiang Xinghe couldn't believe she was Li Xi at all. "You also like reading Teacher Yun Ge's 'Seven Days of Nightmare', right?"
"Are you a fan of 'Seven Days of Nightmare'?"
Li Xi nodded. "Yes, I really like her work."
Jiang Xinghe smiled and flicked Li Xi's forehead, feeling a little excited to have met a kindred spirit. "Looks like you have good taste sometimes."
"Since we're both fans of Teacher Yun Ge, I'll definitely help you with your apartment rental."
"Oh, right." Jiang Xinghe dragged his suitcase and carried his laptop bag ahead. He said, "My mother left me an inheritance of more than three million yuan. I plan to talk to Teacher Yun Ge about film and television copyrights."
"We book fans are all hoping that 'Seven Days of Nightmare' can be adapted into a film or television series. What about you?"
Li Xi followed behind and said in a muffled voice, "Think about it."
"But the film and television rights fee for 'Seven Days of Nightmare' must be quite high."
Jiang Xinghe was somewhat disheartened. He said, "If I don't have enough money, I'll have to resort to seduction. I heard that Teacher Yun Ge is gay, and a top at that."
Li Xi finally looked up, glanced at Jiang Xinghe with surprise, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"
"Yun Ge's art style is dark and bold, and the plot is meticulous and intricately linked. It's clearly a work by a man!"
"Oh." Li Xi then asked, "And what's the story behind the rumors about Meng 1?"
Jiang Xinghe paused suspiciously for a moment before saying, "...I was just making that up. I can't get an erection with men, so I can only be a bottom for love."
Li Xi's expression was strange. "You're quite willing to go all out."
The two talked as they went downstairs.
When I got to the first floor, I found that there was hardly anyone in the living room.
The nanny, Zhang Ma, stood on tiptoe in the dining room, peering towards the door. When she saw Li Xi and Jiang Xinghe coming downstairs, she immediately ran over and urged, "You two hurry up and leave!"
"Mr. Gu and his family will be here in a few minutes, hurry up!" Afraid that the two of them would dawdle, Zhang Ma took the initiative to run over and help Jiang Xinghe with his suitcase.
Jiang Xinghe was happy to have an easy time and handed it to her directly.
Hearing the sound of luggage being dragged, the Xie family of four, who were standing at the door, all turned around and looked over.
"Xi Xi." Xie Xingyun quickly came over to help carry the things. He asked Li Xi, "What are your plans for the future? Have you thought about finding a job...?"
"Xingyun!" Xie's father frowned and reminded Xie Xingyun, "What are you still saying? The guests are about to arrive."
Father Xie gave Jiang Xinghe a cold nod and said indifferently, "Xinghe, we have distinguished guests at our house today, so we can only entertain you another time."
Xie's father looked down on Jiang Xinghe.
The Jiang family only has two siblings, Jiang Xinghe and Jiang Qingkong. Since Jiang Xinghe is not valued, Jiang Qingkong is the one who benefits the most.
The Xie family and the Jiang family are related by marriage. If Jiang Qingkong can obtain the Jiang family's property, it will be passed on to her and Xie Xingyun's child in the future.
That means he's the grandson of the Xie family.
Xie's father wished that Jiang Xinghe would be hit by a car and die as soon as he stepped out of the house, so that he would never be able to compete with Jiang Qingkong for the family property.
"Mr. Xie, you're too kind. You're busy, so we'll be going now." Jiang Xinghe had just helped Li Xi put her suitcase into the trunk when the sound of car wheels came from behind.
Zhang Xiang quickly helped Xie Jiaoyue fix her hair and shawl, even carefully adjusting the position of the hair clips on her head.
Xie Jiaoyue exuded a delicate and charming aura even in her hair at this moment.
Li Xi leaned against the car, watching this scene with amusement.
Jiang Xinghe walked over and asked Li Xi, "What's wrong? Are you envious?"
Li Xi said, "Look at Xie Jiaoyue, isn't she the apple of the Xie family's eye, pampered by the whole family?"
Jiang Xinghe glanced over and mumbled, "I guess so. Aren't all the young people in Dongzhou City fawning over her?"
Li Xi shook her head and said, "I was just wondering, what would happen to this bright moon if Gu Huaizhou abandoned her?"
Jiang Xinghe was taken aback.
Only then did he take a serious look at Xie Jiaoyue.
Just as Li Xi said, Xie Jiaoyue, who was carefully dressed up by Zhang Xianghe and Xie Mingzong, looked like a full and noble pearl beauty.
She is beautiful; she is the most beloved child in the Xie family, a noble little princess.
But this honor was entirely due to Gu Huaizhou's favoritism towards her.
Once this favoritism disappears, the beautiful moon will become a waning moon.
Jiang Xinghe suddenly turned around and stared at Li Xi, asking her, "What are you up to?"
What are you doing?
"Let's get Gu Huaizhou."
Jiang Xinghe gasped and gave Li Xi a thumbs up, "Only those with ambition and the courage to dream dare to dream."
