After traveling through time, I relied on rich people’s gossip to reach the top of my life.

Chapter 119: Smoky New Year's Eve Dinner
Li Xi had been talking nonsense all night, which was not very harmful but extremely insulting. Not to mention the younger generation, even the elders wanted to go up and shoot her, but there was a door god-like figure standing next to her, Luo Jingxuan.

No matter how annoyed she was, she couldn't just start a quarrel. It would be embarrassing, and Luo Jingxuan's anger for his beloved would cut off their financial resources, which was not worth it. You have to know that Luo Jingxuan kept them in the Luo family to "make trouble", not because he cared about them, nor did he value family affection, but because of the advice given by Luo Er and his wife when they were still alive - blood is thicker than water, and you should treat your uncles and their families well, even if they are scum.

In the original text, didn't Luo Jingxuan know that it was Luo Da and Luo San who harmed his parents? With his ability, he should be able to find out, but he didn't dare to find out, or he didn't dare to expose it. Because the other party was the "relative" that his parents had repeatedly told him to take care of. Even if he didn't care about this blood relationship, he couldn't ignore his parents' instructions.

Some people may think that this idea is a bit "holy", but for Luo Jingxuan, "taking care of relatives" can be regarded as an anchor point, an anchor point that proves that he is still a "human being".

When Luo Er and his wife had just met with the accident, Luo Jingxuan was filled with anger. Although he did not want to destroy the world, he did not want to give away the property left by his parents. When he saw his parents' bodies being sent to the incinerator, he wished he could destroy the entire Luo family and not let anyone get it.

However, he was too weak at that time. He could not stop his uncles and aunts from seizing the business that his parents had worked hard to build, nor could he influence the shareholders to favor his uncles and aunts, nor could he change his grandfather's determination to send him away.

During the years of being away from home, in the first two years, he always had a strong will to go back for revenge when he was fully grown, to revenge his uncle and second uncle who harmed his parents, and his grandfather who did nothing. But in the following years, the heavy workload, the loneliness of having no one to talk to, and the resentment in his heart made him gradually lose himself. He didn't know why he was studying, why he was living, and the meaning of his existence.

He began to doubt himself, life, and the world. He studied and enriched himself step by step, planned revenge, and grew up step by step, but if you ask him what the meaning of doing this is and what he will do after revenge, his answer is most likely that he doesn't know, it's not important, and he doesn't care.

emm, or to put it another way that everyone understands, he suffers from depression.

How to treat depression? The most common method is medication plus psychotherapy. But these two methods are not very realistic for Luo Jingxuan. It's not that he is afraid of seeing a doctor, but the situation does not allow it.

When the accident happened to Luo Er and his wife, Luo Jingxuan's mentality was actually not too bad. He was in line with the image of a teenager whose parents suddenly got into trouble: sad, upset, depressed, and in disbelief.

By the time he realized that his parents' accident might be related to his uncle, Grandpa Luo had already sent him away. At that moment, the boy's mood can be imagined - as if he was betrayed by the whole world. So in the first few years after being sent away, Luo Jingxuan was very angry and his mind was full of revenge.

However, he was too weak at that time and could not do anything. He could only study hard under the arrangement of his father's friends. The high-intensity study distracted Luo Jingxuan's attention, and also gradually smoothed his edges and corners and wiped out the hatred in his heart. It doesn't mean that he no longer hates or doesn't want to retaliate, but he doesn't know where the end of hatred is.

Luo Er and his wife were good people in the traditional sense, and they were very tolerant of their blood relatives. Needless to say, Luo Da and Luo San, even though they were not very capable, Luo Er still arranged relatively high positions for them in the group, and gave them a lot of shares, so that they could get a lot of dividends, but they didn't have that much say. Although he didn't give his collateral relatives too high positions, as long as they asked for a position with a good salary in front of him, he would always give them a position with a good salary.

They often instilled such ideas into Luo Jingxuan. Although Luo Jingxuan disagreed, he never refuted them. After all, Luo's company was quite profitable, so he wouldn't feel bad about giving some of the money away.

Luo Jingxuan was not as tolerant as his parents towards those "blood-related" relatives. He even often felt that they were like blood-sucking leeches on Luo Er and his wife, and he would not even look at them for a second. However, his good upbringing and his parents' advice did make Luo Jingxuan more tolerant of these people.

When Luo Jingxuan first discovered that Luo Da and Luo San had teamed up to kill Luo Er and his wife, he wanted to tear their skin apart. But as he regained his sanity, his overly strong hatred also disappeared. After all, they were blood relatives that Luo Er and his wife had "risked their lives" to protect. According to Luo Jingxuan's understanding of the two people, even if he knew that it was his own brothers who killed him, Luo Er would not turn against him.

After calming down, Luo Jingxuan thought a lot. He thought about the past when his parents were still alive, the words his parents always said, the expressions and decisions his parents might have when they knew about their brothers killing each other, and whether he should take revenge and how he should do so.

The high-pressure study and chaotic thinking almost squeezed Luo Jingxuan's head and plunged him into a vortex of pain. Perhaps it was the body's self-help mechanism that played a role, allowing Luo Jingxuan, who was trapped in the darkness, to find the light. Of course, it was not the so-called salvation, but just finding a balance point - turning himself into a working machine without emotions.

Didn't the people around him notice his abnormality? Yes, they did.

In other words, since he was sent away, Grandpa Luo has arranged for him to receive regular counseling from an excellent psychologist. However, Luo Jingxuan's psychological defenses were very high, and he was full of hostility towards the people arranged by his grandfather, so it was difficult for him to open up to the psychologist. As a result, the doctor could find that he had mental problems, but he didn't know the exact symptoms.

The doctor prescribed some mood-regulating drugs, but Luo Jingxuan didn't necessarily take them. The psychological counseling arranged as appropriate also turned into a confrontation between Luo Jingxuan and the doctor because of Luo Jingxuan's non-cooperation.

It's useless anyway.

The young Luo Jingxuan also clearly knew that there was something wrong with his emotions, but he could not control it and did not want to save himself. He just lived in a daze and trance.

It was not until later that he found a way out and his situation got better. However, he did not break off contact with the psychiatrist, or rather, he quite enjoyed the confrontation with the psychiatrist, which was like a negotiation in the business world and was very interesting.

That is, after spending all these years together, the psychologist has gained a certain understanding of Luo Jingxuan's psychology. Although he is unable to open Luo Jingxuan's heart, he is still very clear about the superficial personality displayed by Luo Jingxuan, such as his "indifference" to blood relatives and his indifference to life.

Psychologists are basically required to keep the patient's information confidential, but the person was arranged by Mr. Luo, so some basic information about Luo Jingxuan would naturally be fed back to the old man. The old man is now indifferent to things, and the information in his hands will soon appear on Mr. Luo's desk.

Boss Luo would not help Luo Jingxuan conceal the truth, and he was already guilty, so he wanted to recruit more people to "fight" Luo Jingxuan together, so that his chances of winning in the future would be higher. So intentionally or unintentionally, Luo Jingxuan's "illness" became known to everyone.

But does Luo Jingxuan care? He doesn't care. Not only does he not care, he also deliberately shows his "indifference" to everyone in the Luo family, letting everyone know that only by being obedient can they get benefits from him. Otherwise, let alone sharing benefits, he will make the other party wish they could neither live nor die.

Therefore, most people in the Luo family didn't dare to provoke Luo Jingxuan, and the younger generation didn't dare to show their bad habits or tricks in front of Luo Jingxuan. Only the Luo Da and Luo San families would occasionally jump around and give Luo Jingxuan some obstacles that he didn't care about (such as arranging a car accident that was not too serious, not life-threatening, but could still make him lose a skin; such as giving him a pretty useless but easy-to-control waste), and they didn't dare to really touch Luo Jingxuan's bottom line.

When they chose Li Xi, they actually had many considerations. First, the family background of the Li family was not a bit worse than that of the Luo family, and both the Li family and Li Xi were easy to control; second, Li Xi was not favored in the Li family, and she could be easily bribed as long as she was given some "love"; third, Li Xi had a bad reputation in the circle, she was arrogant, brainless, and had no scheming. Not only could she not help Luo Jingxuan, she might also stab him in the back at a critical moment; fourth, Li Yaoming was afraid of the consequences, and promised to give the benefits of the Luo family to Luo Da and Luo San as a gift.

In the original story, Li Xi was, as they expected, controlled by Luo Da and Luo San, and never got close to Luo Jingxuan. Later, she did stab Luo Jingxuan in the back at a critical moment, but the object of her "loyalty" was not the Luo family, but the male protagonist Shen Zhou.

After Li Xi came through, she cut off the possibility of the Li family sucking Luo Jingxuan's blood, and did not give Luo Da and Luo San a chance to get close to her. To be precise, it was the first time that Luo Da and Luo San met Li Xi on Mr. Luo's birthday. The scene was not what they wanted.

Therefore, they realized early on that the chess piece that was originally the easiest to control on the chessboard had jumped out of the game, so it was naturally not easy to attack her rashly. Later, Luo Jingxuan's various protections also made the two families understand that Li Xi had caught Luo Jingxuan's eye. Not to mention turning against the other party, even making the other party unhappy a little bit could cause Luo Jingxuan's displeasure.

After the incident with the Hua family, the two families knew more clearly the position of Li Xi in Luo Jingxuan's heart. Li Xi was only tied up on the mountain to scare him, but Luo Jingxuan wiped out the Hua family. If Li Xi was really hurt, Luo Jingxuan didn't know what would happen.

Of course, they didn't know that the authorities had targeted the Hua family first, and the so-called Luo Jingxuan's annihilation of the Hua family was just a collaboration with the authorities. They just saw the result and mistakenly thought that the result of Luo Jingxuan's rage for his beloved was the annihilation of the family. It was not the Tianliang King's defeat, but sending people directly to step on the sewing machine.

Everyone in the Luo family except Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi: “…” So cruel.

They didn't know the truth, but it was true that they didn't dare to offend Li Xi. Luo Jingxuan roughly guessed their thoughts, but didn't think of correcting them. It wouldn't be a bad thing if they could be cautious and avoid Li Xi.

Therefore, even if Li Xi "spoke wildly" in front of her family during the New Year, the Luo Da and Luo San families did not dare to confront her. Even the hot-tempered Luo Xingyue had to hold back her temper under the advice of her parents. Others dared not say anything.

After the previous episode, everything around Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan was quite quiet until they sat down at the table.

The Luo family is an old aristocratic family with many side branches. Although not everyone is qualified to come to the old house for the New Year's Eve dinner, there are still many people present today, and there are at least a dozen tables.

The main table where Li Xi and the others were seated was occupied by direct descendants, namely the old man, Luo Da, Luo Er, and Luo San. The old man sat at the main seat of the rectangular table, and on his left were his sons, including Luo Da and his wife, and Luo San and his wife. On the right were his grandchildren, arranged in order of age. In order, they were Luo Jingting, Luo Jingxuan, Li Xi, Luo Xingming, and Luo Xingyue.

Luo Xingming accepted the fact that her seat was moved to the side. Li Xi and Luo Jingxuan were a legal couple, and Grandpa Luo also approved of his granddaughter-in-law. It was nothing wrong for her to take a front seat at the main table.

Luo Xingyue was the most unhappy. Originally, there were four adults (the old man was not counted, he was sitting alone and not included in the calculation) and four children in the family. Yun Mei was the youngest on the opposite side, and she was the youngest on this side, so they were just facing each other. She could see her biological mother when she looked up, and she could eat an extra bowl of rice. Now that Li Xi had joined, not only could she not face her biological mother, but when she looked up, she would face the kitchen door and could see the busy figures inside.

Luo Xingyue: “…” Unlucky.

She was unhappy, and she wanted to make others unhappy. "Second sister-in-law has a good relationship with the daughter that the Lu family found, right? Why did I hear Yanran say that she was a mud-legged girl, uneducated, petty, and vicious, always bullying Lu Wantang? You should be careful when making friends in the future, and don't bring all the rubbish around you." After saying these sarcastic words, Luo Xingyue still felt that it was not enough, and at the end she snorted coldly, looking very disdainful.

Li Xi was not angry, she kept smiling and spoke kindly, she did not look at Luo Xingyue, she just wiped her hands with the hot towel prepared by the dining table, "Sister Xingyue, what you said is not right, the rules for students say, if you have not seen the truth, do not speak lightly, if you do not know it, do not spread it lightly, sister Xingyue has never seen Su Yu, how can you know what kind of person she is? The eldest daughter of the Shen family has been standing on the clouds since she was born, most people in her eyes are mud legs, uneducated. But being petty and bullying the adopted sister, did Miss Shen see it with her own eyes, or did you, sister Xingyue, hear the victim complain with your own ears? I have personally experienced the conflict between Su Yu and Lu Wantang, if we really say who bullies whom, it is Lu Wantang who bullies our Xiaoyu who is not loved and cared for. Ha~" Recalling the scenes of meeting Lu Wantang several times, Li Xi could not help but sneer, "Lu Wantang is indeed a 'good daughter' raised by a wealthy family, Shen Zhou, Lu Zifeng, and a group of little trash, all fell under her pomegranate skirt and are devoted to her!"

Li Xi was in a good mood after she finished speaking, and smiled sweetly at Grandpa Luo who was sitting in the main seat, "Grandpa, it's New Year's Day, and your granddaughter-in-law is telling you some gossip to wish you a happy new year~"

It's not that Grandpa Luo didn't hear the huge amount of information contained in Li Xi's words, but he was already past the age of stirring up trouble, and he didn't want to care about the disputes of his descendants. Whoever wanted to pay attention to the old man, he would coax the old man, and he would respond. So at this moment, he simply ignored the ugly faces of others and said to Li Xi with a smile, "Okay, okay, you wish grandpa a happy new year, and grandpa will give you New Year's money later, a big red envelope."

"Thank you, Grandpa~" Li Xi was even happier to get the promise of a big red envelope for nothing, and she turned her head to show off to Luo Jingxuan. Luo Jingxuan looked at her smiling eyebrows and softened his heart, "I'll make you a big red envelope later."

"Okay, hehe." No one can refuse a red envelope, no one!
They were having a great time here, but the other people didn't look so happy.

The elders on the opposite side did not care about the emotional entanglements between the younger generations, but Li Xi's words were really unpleasant to hear.

Led by Luo Da, they started to attack when Li Xi was talking nonsense to Luo Jingxuan.

"Jingxuan, if Li Xi marries you, she will represent the face of the Luo family. You have to teach her what to say and what not to say. Don't let outsiders laugh at our Luo family."

"That's right. It's not your aunt who is saying anything bad about you, Xiaoxi. Now that you've married and become Mrs. Luo, it's time to change those petty habits you picked up in the Li family. It's better to change them." Xiao Lin's family background was not good, but once she married into a family like the Luo family, her ambition suddenly became high. Not only did she enroll in various classes to improve herself, she also liked to be "educated" and want to be well-educated and well-mannered, and behave like an "aristocrat."

I don’t know what other people think, but Li Xi is annoyed by her statements like this. They always give people a condescending feeling, as if being rich is a great thing, although in today's society, being rich is a great thing.

"Aunt, how can it be petty to talk about gossip? When aunt gets together with your sisters, don't they talk about other people? When they talk about other people, don't they discuss what happened to them? Aren't these gossips too? Aunt, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you~" He was just being sarcastic, as if everyone would do that.

Xiao Lin was speechless after being scolded by Li Xi, but she didn't want to swallow her anger, "Jingxuan, your wife is too ignorant. The elders are educating her, how can you talk back?"

"How can this be considered backtalk? I was just communicating with my aunt in a friendly way. You asked and I answered. How did it rise to the level of being an elder? It's unacceptable for my aunt to misinterpret other people's words." Before Luo Jingxuan could speak, Li Xi answered directly. What a joke. Luo Jingxuan's tongue is fine for business negotiations, but quarreling with my aunt? It's a waste of talent.

Being looked at by Li Xi's "sincere" eyes, Xiao Lin couldn't be angry or not, and finally could only divert the conflict, "You just said that Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou are both related to Lu Wantang. Shen Zhou is fine, their two families must have been engaged since childhood, so it's normal for them to have a good relationship. Lu Zifeng has been Lu Wantang's biological brother for nearly 20 years, how could they have that kind of relationship. As a member of the Luo family and Jingxuan's partner, you should be more careful in what you say and do."

"Ah, you're talking about this." Speaking of those two rubbish men, Li Xi had more to say. "I still understand the principle that you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want, but what I said is the truth. Not to mention that Su Yu and I have a good relationship, I know a lot of things about the Lu family that are unknown to outsiders. Some of the things I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, I'm not making up stories."

Li Xi's words contained too much information. Even Xiao Lin didn't know how to answer. She had thought she was just talking nonsense before, and the elders really didn't care about the little love affairs she talked about. Once she said this, it became a hammer. It hasn't been long since Su Yu was taken back to the Lu family, right? How could siblings become lovers so quickly? Could they have hooked up before? It's terrifying to think about it.

The elders were dumbfounded after a moment's thought. They really couldn't accept such a relationship. The younger ones accepted it well, and even felt envious and jealous, especially when their own relationships were not going well.

"Brother Shen Zhou and Brother Zifeng are both single. There's no problem with them liking Lu Wantang or being liked by them, right? Feelings are their own business and they're not interfering with others. What's wrong with that?" Luo Xingming was the first to speak. Perhaps he remembered that his boyfriend already had a girlfriend and that he was caught in the act of climbing into bed with a failed attempt some time ago. He lowered his head while speaking, with a dim look in his eyes.

"Yes, it's better than falling in love with someone who already has a partner and not wanting to give up, chasing after that person desperately regardless of what that partner thinks, or even wanting to get married to them."

Li Xi said it casually, but Luo Xingming, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xi, his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to want to eat people. Li Xi was completely unaware, or didn't care and continued to explain his point of view, "They are just one-to-many, a bunch of single arrows. Lu Wantang has never announced that she has a partner, which means she is single. Even if there are many arrows pointing at her, it is not considered to destroy people's feelings, and it may not violate morality, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Luo Xingming wanted to say something, but before he could utter a word, Luo Jingting spoke first, "It takes a lot of courage to fall in love with someone who cannot be understood by the world, and it takes even greater courage to let everyone around you know your feelings. Lu Zifeng is still a man." Thinking of his annoying object, Luo Jingting rubbed his brows with a headache.

Li Xi didn't put on a sweet smile this time, but glanced at Luo Jingting with disdain, "Brother, why do you sound so emotional? Could it be that your feelings are also not tolerated by the world? However, the situation of that bastard Lu Zifeng should be different from that of your brother. Not only is it incest, but it may also be deception and coercion. It belongs to the legal field!"

"What is a legal person?" Li Xi said, expecting Luo Jingting or other peers to criticize her. Unexpectedly, before the juniors could speak, Grandpa Luo asked a soul-searching question first.

"Uh~" Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered. "The term 'legal person' originated in the entertainment industry. It refers to public figures who have committed crimes and brought negative impacts to the public. Lu Zifeng is the prince of the Lu family, so he is also a public figure. I call him a 'legal person' as a nickname."

"That's it. Grandpa is still old, and can't keep up with the trends of you young people. I can always hear new words from you. It's interesting. Hahahaha"

Hearing Grandpa Luo's laughter, others had to laugh along even if they didn't agree or were unwilling to do so. Li Xi laughed sincerely and even flattered him, "No, no, Grandpa is not old. He just doesn't like to pay attention to things on the Internet and is not familiar with them. If Grandpa wants to understand, he can control the overall situation in minutes."

“Hahaha…” Mr. Luo’s smile widened. “You are such a good talker, kid. Pick up your chopsticks. The dishes are all here. If you don’t eat now, they will get cold.”

Old Master Luo was talking nonsense, no one would refute him, and he really didn't want to argue with Li Xi anymore. He couldn't argue with her, and he couldn't use his status as an elder to pressure others, and he couldn't turn his face away from others. He was accidentally poked in the sore spot by the other party, which was so frustrating.

After the meal started, no one wanted to speak, and they just started eating in silence. Only Mr. Luo and Li Xi occasionally chatted with each other, and Li Xi occasionally whispered to Luo Jingxuan, which was surprisingly harmonious.

Because of everyone's silence, this New Year's Eve dinner was eaten very quickly, at least twice as fast as the reunion dinner that Li Xi and her friends had at noon. Li Xi didn't know what other people were feeling, but she ate happily anyway. The chef of the Luo family's old house was a chef that Mr. Luo had hired from a five-star hotel at a high price in the early years. The dishes he cooked were all delicious and tasty.

Li Xi, who had expected to have a bad meal, unexpectedly ate a lot. After finishing the meal, she collapsed in the chair and didn't want to move at all. She was so full.

As a "good husband" who had lived with Li Xi for more than half a year and had eaten with her many times, Luo Jingxuan saw Li Xi's embarrassment at a glance. He silently took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his assistant asking him to prepare digestive tablets, and then whispered to Li Xi if she wanted to go out for a walk.

"Want to go for a walk in the yard? Help digest the food." Seeing Li Xi's suspicious eyes, Luo Jingxuan lied calmly, "I'm too full."

"Oh, okay, okay." Li Xi first glanced at Luo Jingxuan teasingly, then nodded at him as if she understood what he meant, and turned to find Grandpa Luo, "Grandpa. I ate too much and felt bloated. Jingxuan and I are going to the yard outside to help digest the food. I'll come in later to stay up with you to celebrate the New Year!"

After getting Mr. Luo's approval, Li Xi smiled proudly at Luo Jingxuan, and her little expression seemed to say, I covered it up for you, now no one knows you ate too much, come and praise me!

Luo Jingxuan suddenly felt amused. His eyes, which had been gloomy since he entered the Luo family's old house, finally softened. He thanked Li Xi softly, "Thank you."

"There's nothing to say thank you to each other. It's only natural." As Li Xi said this, she wanted to pat Luo Jingxuan on the shoulder like a good brother. But when her hand was halfway raised, she remembered that Luo Jingxuan was taller than her. It felt weird for a short person to pat a tall person on the shoulder. It didn't seem like brothers at all.

Luo Jingxuan saw Li Xi's intention, twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and leaned slightly towards Li Xi, matching the height of Li Xi's hand.

Li Xi smiled awkwardly, and her hand that had been suspended in mid-air finally patted Luo Jingxuan's shoulder, and patted him several times, saying as she patted, "Sister, no, my wife will protect you!"

It feels good to say it, but the embarrassment at the end will always linger in your heart.

Help! I actually called myself Luo Jingxuan’s wife!

Wow, the updates have been very unstable in the past two months, but they are definitely not ejaculated! I will post the fourth one! According to the outline I wrote before, there are actually not many event nodes in the back, mainly the endings of the protagonist group and the original protagonist group (there are corresponding events), with one or two gossip revelations in the middle.
