Chapter 33 It turns out Li Xi was an abandoned baby.
The atmosphere at table number 1 was harmonious and joyful, but the Xie siblings' side was shrouded in gloom.
Only Jiang Qingkong was unusually happy.
She said gloatingly, "Li Xi has won over Old Master Gu's favor now. I think she has a better chance of marrying into the Gu family than our sister."
"A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed. Once Li Xi has eaten Gu Huaizhou, this divine grass, how could he possibly look at you again?"
"Xie Xingyun, give up. There's no chance for you and Li Xi in this lifetime."
Li Xi has successfully secured a powerful relationship with the Gu family, bringing her one step closer to successfully seducing Gu Huaizhou.
Jiang Qingkong admired her, and was also jealous of her.
But the thought that Li Xi, having Gu Huaizhou, would never be able to maintain any connection with Xie Xingyun immediately cheered her up.
Don't be upset.
Jiang Qingkong handed a crab leg to Xie Xingyun's plate, deliberately provoking him: "Honey, come on, have a crab leg."
"Eat the delicious food I feed you, forget your ex, and let's make our lives better together. That's more important than anything else."
Xie Xingyun stared at Jiang Qingkong's hateful, smiling face with a gloomy expression, and sneered, "Why aren't you pretending anymore?"
Jiang Qingkong used to love pretending to be well-behaved and innocent.
They just got their marriage certificate yesterday, and they've already changed their tune today.
Jiang Qingkong shrugged and said, "We're already locked together on the household registration book, why should I pretend with you? Whether I pretend or not, you're still my man."
"Besides, I'm definitely not a good woman, and neither are you two siblings. I did drug Li Xi, but didn't you almost rape her too?"
"We're both equal, so who has the right to look down on whom?"
Li Xi has already revealed her true colors to everyone, and now no one in the Xie family can stand her. Why is she still pretending to be a good girl?
I might as well play the villain and fight the Xie family to the very end!
Xie Xingyun was speechless after being confronted by Jiang Qingkong.
He finally understood why Li Xi had made the condition that Jiang Zhulang marry Jiang Qingkong.
Li Xi had figured out Jiang Qingkong's character and knew that after she married into the Xie family, the Xie family would never have peace again.
Thinking of this, Xie Xingyun felt even more depressed.
"Brother. What did Li Xi just give Grandpa Gu?"
They were at table number 6, a long distance from table number 1. From afar, Xie Jiaoyue only saw Li Xi give Gu Wentao one thing, and that was enough to win Gu Lao's favor.
What on earth is that?
After thinking for a moment, Xie Xingyun said, "It might be that watch."
"A watch?" Xie Jiaoyue and Jiang Qingkong were both intrigued by this topic.
Jiang Qingkong's gossip-loving nature was piqued, and she quickly asked, "What watch?"
Xie Xingyun glanced coldly at Jiang Qingkong, then turned to Xie Jiaoyue to explain, "Li Xi has a Patek Philippe ladies' watch next to her. She said it was a gift from a wealthy old lady to her father."
"Her father worked as a bodyguard for that family when he was discharged from the army."
When Xie Xingyun mentioned Li Xi's deceased driver father, Xie Jiaoyue's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"You mean, Uncle Li might have been the Gu family's bodyguard in the past?"
"This is just a guess." Xie Xingyun knew that there was a watch and her father's portrait hidden in Li Xi's room.
But he didn't take this past event to heart at the time.
But considering what happened today, Xie Xingyun felt that this might be true.
Li Xi is really good at hiding things; she kept such an important matter from him all this time.
Xie Jiaoyue frowned slightly and muttered under her breath, "She really got lucky, she got off easy!"

As the banquet drew to a close, Mr. Gu prepared to leave.
As he got up, Gu Wentao instructed Du Yusheng, "Bring Li Xi to see me later."
After Gu Wentao left, the guests also got up and left. Du Yusheng, as the head butler, stood at the door with Gu Han to see them off.
The two chatted during a break.
Du Yusheng asked Gu Han, "Is that Miss Li Xi really the adopted daughter of the Xie family?"
"Ah."
Seeing Li Xi lifting the hem of her skirt and walking gracefully towards them, Du Yusheng praised, "Look at this girl's figure and appearance, she is in no way inferior to Miss Xie."
"Li Xi is beautiful, so her mother must be a great beauty too. I never thought that Da Tie, that rough man, could marry such a beautiful wife."
Gu Han shook his head. "Li Chang'an is not married. This girl is an abandoned child he picked up."
Du Yusheng was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this, "...No wonder."
He said that Li Chang'an's genes couldn't produce a daughter as beautiful as Li Xi.
Li Xi had already reached the gate and bid farewell to Gu Han and the others with grace and poise. "Uncles, I'll be heading back now. I wish you both good health."
After saying that, Li Xi was about to leave.
Du Yusheng quickly called out to her, "Miss Li Xi, please wait. The old gentleman is delighted to see the daughter of an old friend and would like to have a chat with you."
"...Then I'll take my leave."
But Du Yusheng still had to see off the guests, so he couldn't take Li Xi to see Gu Wentao until later.
Thinking that Jiang Xinghe was still waiting for her in the parking lot halfway up the mountain, Li Xi decided to go find him first.

Dinner was also prepared at the driver's guesthouse.
After finishing their meal, seeing that their employers hadn't come out yet, the drivers decided to get together and play cards, specifically snooker.
Jiang Xinghe sat at a small table playing cards with several middle-aged men.
Seeing Li Xi waving at him from the sidewalk outside the window, Jiang Xinghe quickly pushed away his cards and the change in front of him.
"Brothers, my boss is here, please excuse me."
"I'll just pretend I lost this round."
Jiang Xinghe, holding the three hundred yuan he had won, walked towards Li Xi with a smile and generously gave her one bill, saying, "I won three hundred, here's one hundred for you to buy candy."
Li Xizhen reached out and took the hundred-yuan bill.
She told Jiang Xinghe, "Old Gu has arranged to meet later, so I might have to go back later. Jiang Xinghe, you should go back first."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinghe was shocked. "In just one meal, you infiltrated the Gu family and gained Old Master Gu's approval?"
"My darling, from this day forward you are Consort Xi!"
Jiang Xinghe patted his chest and told Li Xi, "When you become successful in the future, remember to take your little sister Huanbi with you when you fly high!"
Li Xi: "...Have some shame."
Jiang Xinghe burst into laughter.
"Alright, I won't delay your important business any longer, I'll head back now."
Just as Jiang Xinghe reached his parking space, Jiang Qingkong's voice rang out from ahead: "Jiang Xinghe! What are you doing here?"
"What? You've really become Li Xi's lapdog?"
Jiang Xinghe looked up and saw Jiang Qingkong standing in front of a black Maybach, arm in arm with Xie Xingyun.
The fitted dress accentuated Jiang Qingkong's slender and graceful figure, and her round, oval face was fair and clean, clearly showing that she was a pampered young lady.
Jiang Xinghe exclaimed, "As soon as I heard that sharp and sarcastic tone, I knew that our Jiang family's little princess had arrived."
With a half-smile, Jiang Xinghe glanced at Xie Xingyun, who stood expressionless to the side, and casually congratulated Jiang Qingkong: "Congratulations, little princess, you've achieved your wish and married your ideal husband."
“I used to wonder what kind of man a girl as proud and aloof as Princess Jiang would like.”
"I only found out today that our little princess is in love with a rapist!"
Jiang Xinghe gave Jiang Qingkong a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Girl, your taste is truly unique."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xingyun's handsome face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
