Chapter 95 of "The Exceptional Family" - A Series of Twists and Turns
The door of Santana finally opened, a slender and beautiful leg stretched out from the car door, everyone outside the bar was watching this scene. Hao Xun hurried over to speak, but his eyes suddenly saw a familiar face through the windshield, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Right behind her, a petite figure got out of the passenger seat. The girl looked very ordinary, but she exuded an aura of elegance and nobility all over her body. Her gaze swept across Hao Yun's serious face, and she smiled, "Hao Yun, what are you doing?"
"Ruoxi, is that you? You, you, how did you end up in Xu Yi's car?"
Hao Xun's face was bitter, and he secretly rejoiced that the entrance of the bar was a bit far from the parking lot. Before walking over, he hadn't realized it was Xu Yi who was driving, or else he would have lost face by scolding him loudly.
"Yes, my mom asked me to pick up Xu Yi Ge Ge and bring him over to play together. He just got back from Jiangnan today."
Li Ruoxi's face lit up with a smile, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower.
"Haoran, hello, long time no see."
Xu nodded at Hao Xun after closing the car door.
"Xu elder brother, let's go in."
Li Ruoxi walked over naturally, holding onto Xu Yi's arm and striding towards the bar. Hao Xun looked on in astonishment at this scene. Li Ruoxi was actually being so affectionate with Xu Yi in front of so many people from their circle, what did this mean?
And what did Li Ruoxi mean by her words, did the Li family really want to form an alliance with the Xu family? Even if they wanted to form an alliance, the best candidate would be Xu Zhixuan, not the monk Xu Yi.
Not only was Hao Xun shocked, but the wealthy and fashionable people crowded at the entrance of the bar waiting for Li Ruoxi's dazzling appearance were also stunned. They were stunned by the precious Li Ruoxi, who looked like a princess, how could she appear in such a shabby Santana? This shocking fact even made them directly ignore the man beside her.
"Brother, why did you guys come so late? I've been here for half a day already."
A crisp sound rang out, startling the group of people who were dozing off. They suddenly realized that Li Ruoxi's arm was linked with a young man's arm as they strolled over, and this man was none other than Xu Jia's eldest grandson, Xu Yi.
Although Li Ruoxi's appearance is not stunning, her identity is enough to make the man who marries her benefit endlessly. Moreover, Li Ruoxi is only seventeen years old, and her body has not fully developed yet. Her facial features and figure have not fully blossomed. As they say, "a girl changes at eighteen", who knows, maybe in a few years she'll become a great beauty.
Considering these factors, those spoiled brats came to Li Ruoxi's birthday party in droves under the explicit or implicit instructions of their elders at home. However, no one would have thought that they would be preempted by that guy from the Xu family who had been studying Taoism for twenty years!
"Ting Ting, what's wrong with you? You're driving so fast and didn't even wait for us."
Li Ruoxi glared at Yuan Yuting, released Xu Yi's arm and walked towards a young man surrounded by the crowd. The young man had been watching this scene all along, and only reacted when Li Ruoxi approached him, rubbing her little head, "Little girl, why are you late? For your birthday party, I've been running around like crazy."
"Mom said, let me go pick up Brother Xu Yi." Li Ruoxi smiled and turned around to wave at Xu Yi, "Brother Xu Yi come over here, I'll introduce you. His name is Li Chenggang, he's my eldest uncle's son, my big cousin, and that's Xu Yi."
"Hello."
Xu Yi smiled and extended his right hand to Li Chenggang, with an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant, without the deliberate flattery shown by others, or the pretentious reserve, as if he simply treated Li Chenggang as an ordinary person.
"Hello, Xu Yi."
Li Chenggang smiled and shook hands with Xu Yi, "I heard that Brother Xu has done a lot of research on the Taoist culture that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years?"
Although Li Cheng said politely, everyone heard the irony in his words. You, a monk, also want to have a taste of swan meat like a toad?
"Cheng Gang, don't underestimate Xu Daochang. He has a deep understanding of Taoist traditions and is not only skilled in acupuncture, but also said to be accurate in fortune-telling and physiognomy."
Tong Xiao hehe smiled and slowly squeezed out of the crowd, "Such a Taoist master, our Tong family is too lofty to reach, fortunately, Xu Daozhang announced in front of many people that he had dissolved his engagement with my sister, what a narrow escape."
"What the hell are you talking about, do you have the right to speak here? With your sister's promiscuous character, not only is she not worthy of marrying my brother, but she's also not worthy of being his servant!"
Yuan Yuting got angry, Li Chenggang looked down on his brother-in-law, that's nothing, he has the qualifications for it, damn it, even Tong Xiao, a useless thing who can't even show his face in public, dared to kick him while he was down.
"Yuan Yuting, what nonsense are you talking about? You say who is promiscuous, don't talk about others, take care of your own family matters first. Xu Lin's husband has already found a mistress outside, and you're still pretending to be ignorant here?"
Tong Xiao was furious, he did his best to sell his sister to Lao Rongxuan, but his sister didn't cooperate much, and Lao Rongxuan didn't give him any benefits. Now he is neither here nor there, this has already become a laughing stock for countless people in the circle.
Everyone was stunned. Although the Xu family couldn't be considered a noble family, they were still a big family in the capital city. Xu Lin was also a great beauty in her circle back then. However, she refused the matchmaker arranged by her family and instead married Qian Yunfeng, who came from a working-class background, becoming a legendary love story in their circle.
Who would have thought that Qian Yunfeng actually had an affair behind Xu Lin's back? This is no small matter.
"Who else could it be? Your precious little sister's youthful face is known by everyone in the circle, isn't it?"
Yuan Yuting rolled her eyes, "Sorry, I forgot. Your family doesn't have the qualifications to enter this circle anymore. Hmm, how did you get in tonight?"
"Ting Ting, how can you, a girl, talk like that?"
Xu Yi's eyebrows furrowed, he listened to Tong Xiao's words without missing a single word, how did this guy know about this matter? It seems like I need to ask him about the situation, but now is clearly not a good time. He reached out and pulled Yuan Yuting over, "Arguing with someone like that, don't you think it's beneath you?"
"Come on, Xiaoxi, big brother, let's go in, the party is about to start."
A young man wearing casual clothes walked over, patted Li Chenggang's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Brother, Xu Yi was called by your aunt, don't drive him away."
"Xu Yi, hello, I've heard of your name long ago. I'm also Ruoxi's uncle, my name is Li Chenglin."
The leisurely man smiled and stretched out his right hand to Xu Yi, "Let's go, we'll go in for a drink, have a chat while having a drink."
Xu Yi smiled and shook hands with Li Chenglin, the two walked shoulder to shoulder into the bar. He understood what Li Cheng meant, which was a reminder to pay attention to his own identity. It just so happened that he didn't want Li Yu to misunderstand that he had ulterior motives towards her daughter, so he followed Li Chenglin into the bar without even greeting Li Ruoxi.
However, Xu still caught a glimpse of Li Ruoxi's change in expression out of the corner of her eye and directly gave her elder cousin Li Chenggang a cold stare.
The lobby of the bar was already brightly lit, crowded with people, and various beautiful women were dressed in hot and spicy clothes, as if the weather in this city had suddenly turned into a scorching heat.
The host of the evening party on stage was a famous Huadan from Beijing TV Station, and Li Ruoxi also came on stage to say a few words of thanks, and then the party officially began.
Xu Yi sat in front of the bar, picked up his glass and took a sip. Although the music was lively in front of him, his thoughts turned to family matters. It seemed that Qian Yunfeng had no intention of changing his ways, he had already made his choice. If not for fear of hurting his sister, he really wanted to slap that scoundrel to death.
"Sorry, Brother Xu Yi."
Li Ruoxi held a high-footed wine glass in her hand, and the cup was filled with orange juice. "My eldest cousin didn't mean anything else, he probably has some interest in Taoist teachings."
"It's okay, I'm fine."
Xu smiled and raised his wine glass, "Ru Xi, happy birthday."
Li Ruoxi wanted to say something but stopped, raised her wine glass and touched it with Xu's. Li Chenggang suddenly walked over, "Ruoxi, come here, I'll introduce you to my new friend."
"Xu Yi gege, drink slowly, I'll come find you later."
Li Ruoxi called out to Xu Yi and took a sip of orange juice, putting the cup down on the bar.
Li Chenggang pulled Li Ruoxue's hand and left, for Xu Yi, the destined to be a mediocre grandson of the Xu family, he didn't pay much attention. Although Xu Zhengchun went to Su Province as the Executive Vice Governor, it was indeed not a great achievement for the Li family.
Looking at Li Ruoxi's reluctant gaze, Xu Yixin sighed bitterly, damn it, this flattering move seemed a bit excessive, damn it, this little girl really had a crush on herself, and Li Yu wouldn't hate her to death later.
When the time comes, it's really mud falling into pants, either shit or shit.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, slamming the cup on the bar, pointing at the glass with his hand, hesitating whether to have another two cups before going to the National Investment Corporation to look for clues, turned around to search for Tong Xiao's figure in the crowd, or take this kid directly to the toilet for a good interrogation?
"How can a person drink alone here? Look, they're all dancing with young and beautiful girls in the dance pool. Hey, there are also a few new actors over there, they look very pretty and have good figures too, do you want me to introduce them to you?"
Li Chenglin, dressed in casual attire, walked over to Xu Yi's side and sat down. He placed the cup in his hand on the table and instructed Lao Bian, "Lao Bian, get me a glass of vodka like Xu Yi's."
Xu took out a cigarette and threw it on the bar, lit one himself and took a puff. "No need, I'm not interested in these."
Li Chenglin smiled ambiguously and took a sip of wine, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Huh, Xiaohan, when did you arrive?"
Xu Yi was taken aback, and suddenly turned around to see a long-haired girl walking towards him with a high-heeled glass in her hand. The girl was very beautiful, with a melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a towering chest that seemed to be bursting forth. Two small rabbits inside the glass were struggling to move.
"Have a Martini."
The girl's slender fingers tapped the wine glass, her eyes turned to Xu Yi, her right hand flipped over, and her white right hand stretched out in front of Xu Yi. "Hello, you're Xu Yi, aren't you? My name is Xiaohan."
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment before shaking her hand, Xia Huan smiled and said, "Oh right, I forgot to mention, it was Auntie Li Yu who asked me to come here and meet you."
"Hello, Xiaohan, nice to meet you."
Xu Yiyong held Xiaohan's hand for a moment, her skin was very fair and smooth.
At this moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of Li Yu letting Li Ruoxi come to pick him up tonight, it turned out that she wanted to use this opportunity to introduce a girlfriend to him.
