Chapter 9 Gu Huaizhou is coming?
"Jiang Xinghe, don't go too far!"
Xie Jiaoyue prides herself on her outstanding looks and is a popular star in the entertainment industry, making her quite popular among the wealthy young men of Dongzhou City.
In addition, she was Mr. Gu's favorite, so those young noblemen had to be very polite when they spoke to her.
Accustomed to being the center of attention, Xie Jiaoyue had never suffered such humiliation, especially from a man.
Jiang Xinghe is not one of those rich young masters who have to fawn over Xie Jiaoyue.
As a spoiled and dissolute young master, Jiang Xinghe neither dabbles in the business world nor in the political arena.
He didn't need to curry favor with Gu Huaizhou to attract investment for his family, nor did he need to give Xie Jiaoyue any face.
Jiang Xinghe smiled and mocked Jiang Qingkong: "Stop pretending to be wronged and innocent. You're allowed to speak sarcastically about Li Xi, but I'm not allowed to say anything to you?"
"If you ask me, you're being unfair as the older sister. What kind of older sister suspects her younger sister of cheating on her with a man just because she hasn't come home at night?"
“If you really consider Li Xi your sister, you should be worried about whether she was hurt or bullied while she was away all night.”
Men who spend a lot of time out and about have a built-in radar for spotting sluts.
As soon as Xie Jiaoyue opened her mouth, Jiang Xinghe knew that this woman was a cunning old fox born in 1982.
Xie Jiaoyue, a seasoned green tea bitch, doesn't need to put on that gentlemanly act of respecting ladies.
Xie Jiaoyue was thoroughly enraged by Jiang Xinghe's words. She looked at Li Xi with disappointment and shook her head, saying, "Li Xi, you've really degraded yourself by associating with a spoiled brat like Jiang Xinghe."
Is hanging out with Jiang Xinghe just a form of self-degradation?
Li Xi frowned and pulled Jiang Xinghe behind her. She then walked up to Xie Jiaoyue.
The two were about the same height, but Xie Jiaoyue was wearing high heels while Li Xi was wearing flat cotton shoes, making her appear shorter.
Li Xi looked up at people with his head held high, but his demeanor was not inferior to theirs.
She said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Second Sister. Since you look down on me as a friend, I'll trouble you to wait a few more days while I try my best to become 'good friends' with Mr. Gu Huaizhou."
"I hope that when the time comes, I will hear my second sister praise my skills."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jiaoyue's eyes turned completely sinister.
She knew yesterday that Li Xi had gotten an invitation from the Gu family from Xie Mingzong, and Xie Jiaoyue felt a lump in her throat about it.
I was tearing Li Xi apart in my sleep last night.
Hearing Li Xi's provocative words, Xie Jiaoyue felt both angry and amused.
"You have no connection with the Gu family. What do you need that invitation for? Li Xi, you're not really dreaming of getting involved with Gu Huaizhou, are you?"
"I'm warning you, you shouldn't covet those who don't belong to you."
Li Xi tilted her head, revealing an innocent smile, and launched into a sharp interrogation at Xie Jiaoyue: "Xie Jiaoyue, what is your relationship with Mr. Gu Huaizhou? Did he propose to you? Or did he offer betrothal gifts to the Gu family?"
"You two don't even have the chance to appear in public, so how did Gu Huaizhou become your man?"
Xie Jiaoyue was speechless.
Everyone in Dongzhou City knows that Xie Jiaoyue is the most special woman in Gu Huaizhou's heart, but Gu Huaizhou has never publicly acknowledged their relationship.
Everything was an ambiguous signal that Xie Jiaoyue was intentionally or unintentionally releasing to the outside world.
"Besides, even a duck that's already in your mouth can fly away. Gu Huaizhou isn't even your man yet, and you're already starting to feel insecure?"
Li Xi smiled and said cheerfully, "Miss Xie, you'd better keep a close eye on your ducks. Don't let them fly to my bed in the blink of an eye and get slept with by me, that wouldn't be good."
After saying that, Li Xi turned to Jiang Xinghe and said, "Let's go, come upstairs with me to move our things."
Jiang Xinghe hummed a little tune as he followed Li Xi into the Xie family home.
Upon seeing Li Xi's sudden return, Zhang Xiang's expression changed slightly.
She wanted to throw a tantrum.
But upon seeing Jiang Xinghe, she forced herself to hold back and even put on a warm smile, "Xinghe, why did you come with Li Xi?"
Even if Jiang Xinghe is not valued by the Jiang family, he is still the eldest son of the Jiang family.
Zhang Xiang isn't stupid either.
With Xie Xingyun's current predicament, the marriage alliance with the Jiang family is already on the verge of collapse. If he makes a fool of himself in front of Jiang Xinghe at this time, the impact will be even greater.
"Aunt Zhang," Jiang Xinghe said, "I'm accompanying Li Xi back to move things."
Zhang Xiang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
When will Li Xi and Jiang Xinghe's relationship improve?
But none of that matters.
Zhang Xiang looked at Li Xi and said reproachfully, "Why didn't you call ahead if you were coming back to pick up your things! Since you've already moved your household registration and severed ties with our family, you should hurry up and take your things and leave."
"We have important guests today, so don't let them see us and make us look foolish."
Are we having important guests?
Li Xi looked Zhang Xiang up and down. She was dressed very elegantly today, wearing a royal blue velvet dress, a fur coat, and a set of jade jewelry.
This outfit is even more elaborate than yesterday's engagement party.
It seems that a distinguished guest is indeed coming.
Li Xi didn't ask any more questions and took Jiang Xinghe upstairs.
But he ran into Xie Xingyun on the second floor.
Today, Xie Xingyun also changed into a unique beige suit, with a plaid tie in beige and dark brown around his neck.
Li Xi immediately recognized the tie as a birthday gift she had given to Xie Xingyun a few months ago.
Xie Xingyun's eyes lit up the moment he saw Li Xi.
He instinctively wanted to pull Li Xi aside to talk, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Jiang Xinghe following behind.
Early in the morning, the two arrived at the Xie family's house together...
Xie Xingyun's expression changed slightly, and he asked Li Xi, "Were you with Jiang Xinghe last night?"
Jiang Xinghe raised an eyebrow.
Xie Xingyun and Xie Jiaoyue are indeed siblings; their thought processes are equally bizarre.
Li Xi read the message and replied randomly: "Yes, starting today, you can call me sister-in-law."
Jiang Xinghe: "..."
Well, Li Xi's thought process is pretty abnormal too.
Hearing Li Xi say such angry words, Xie Xingyun calmed down and realized that Li Xi had not stayed with Jiang Xinghe last night.
"Li Xi, I heard you got an invitation from the Gu family from Father yesterday?" Xie Xingyun looked at Li Xi intently, asking thoughtfully, "What are you planning to do?"
"What do you think I'm going to do? Are you afraid I'll ruin your sister's good marriage and seduce Gu Huaizhou?"
Xie Xingyun pursed her lips, not denying it.
After all, Li Xi was heartbroken yesterday, and in a moment of impulse, she might do anything.
"Alright then," Li Xi said, "Then you must do as you wish, try your best to steal your own sister's marriage, and become the young mistress of the Gu family."
"Now, get out of my way, I need to move some things."
Xie Xingyun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Today is Yue'er's 25th birthday. The Gu family called last night to say they would come to celebrate her birthday."
“Gu Huaizhou came to celebrate Yue’er’s birthday in person, which is tantamount to publicly announcing Yue’er’s status as the future young mistress of the Gu family. Li Xi, don’t do something that will humiliate yourself.”
Is Gu Huaizhou coming?
Li Xi was quite puzzled. In her previous life, Gu Huaizhou had never visited the Xie family until her death.
