Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 38 Then will you marry my grandson?

Before Xie Jiaoyue's exquisite and gorgeous manicure could even get close to Li Xi, a nunchaku fell from the sky and smashed into her arms.

The nunchucks were so powerful that they almost shattered Xie Jiaoyue's wrist bones!

"what!"

Xie Jiaoyue's arms trembled with pain, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Thank you, Miss."

Xue Hen walked over and stood between Xie Jiaoyue and Li Xi, warning Xie Jiaoyue: "This is the Gu family home, and this young lady is a guest of the Gu family. Please watch your behavior."

Xie Jiaoyue bit her pale lips hard, threatening Li Xi with a ferocious expression, "Li Xi, I will never let you go!"

After saying that, Xie Jiaoyue staggered and ran out.

As he reached the platform downstairs, he turned back and glared fiercely at Li Xi.

Seeing this, Li Xi slowly raised his right arm and made a 'kill' gesture at Xie Jiaoyue.

Xie Jiaoyue almost had a heart attack.

Watching Xie Jiaoyue leave, Li Xi calmly picked up her coat and put it on.

She walked up to the wall of mirrors, placed her hands on the mirrors, and pressed her ears against them, blatantly eavesdropping.

But it was quiet over there, with no sound.

On this side of the glass wall, Gu Huaizhou and Li Xi were holding hands through the glass. He watched Li Xi's vivid appearance as she tried to eavesdrop without blinking.

"laugh."

Gu Huaizhou laughed and scolded, "Coward, what happened to your promise to sleep with Gu Huaizhou?"

Hearing footsteps behind her, Li Xi quickly straightened her coat and turned around, only to see Gu Han walking over with a first-aid kit.

"Miss Li Xi, please have a seat here."

Li Xi sat down.

"Please allow me to treat your wound briefly." Gu Han opened the first-aid kit and took out disinfectant and wound medicine.

The scene before him reminded Li Xi of Professor Gu.

Gu Han gently wiped away the bloodstains on Li Xi's neck with a cotton swab soaked in disinfectant, and then sprayed some medicine on it to speed up the healing of the wound.

"Miss Li Xi, try not to get the wound wet tonight, it shouldn't leave a scar."

Gu Han put the bottle of medicine into a small bag, placed it on the table, and said to Li Xi, "This medicine is very effective and can't be bought in the market. Miss Li Xi can take it back and use it."

Li Xi was flattered. "Thank you, Butler Gu. Please thank Mr. Gu Huaizhou for me."

"You're welcome."

Noticing that Du Yusheng was accompanying Gu Wentao as they walked over from the restaurant, Gu Han took the first-aid kit and left.

As soon as Gu Wentao approached, he noticed the wound on Li Xi's neck. His old eyes narrowed, and he asked Li Xi with a smile, "It's only been a short time since we parted, how did the little girl get hurt?"

Li Xi didn't hide anything and told Gu Wentao the truth, "I got into a fight with someone in the parking lot, and she scratched me."

"But she didn't get the better of me; I shaved all the hair off her forehead."

In fact, Gu Wentao had already heard Du Yusheng mention this matter before.

Seeing that Li Xi could honestly explain the situation, it was clear that he was an honest child. Although the fight was a bit rough, it was all for the sake of avenging his friends.

This further demonstrates that Li Xi is a warm-hearted person who speaks up for his friends.

how to say?

Old Master Gu looked at Li Xi with absolute fondness.

Only then did Li Xi remember to take off the walkie-talkie bracelet from her wrist. She returned the bracelet to Du Yusheng, saying, "Butler Du, this is the bracelet that Butler Zhou left for me. I'd like to trouble you to return it to me."

After Du Yusheng took the bracelet, Li Xi asked Gu Wentao, "Old Master Gu, I heard from Butler Du that you want to see me."

"I wonder what the old man wants to say to Li Xi."

Gu Wentao didn't beat around the bush with her. He said, "You must be the Xie family's adopted daughter."

Li Xi nodded, "Yes, but I moved out of the Xie family a few days ago and severed ties with them."

Li Xi thought Gu Wentao would ask about the reason, and she had prepared her answer in her mind, but Gu Wentao had no intention of asking at all.

"In other words, you came to live in Dongzhou with your father when you were very young."

Li Xi nodded hesitantly, "Yes, I came to Dongzhou City with my father before I was two years old."

Li Chang'an works as a driver for the Xie family and earns a lot of money every month.

During the day, he would send Li Xi to the best-reputed childcare facility near the rented apartment, and at night, he would personally pick Li Xi up from the facility.

If he had to work overtime in the evening, Li Chang'an would take Li Xi to the Xie family's nanny room to rest.

So Li Xi did indeed grow up under the watchful eyes of the Xie family.

Nodding, Gu Wentao asked Li Xi with a smile, "Your father has been gone for ten years, which means you've had this watch for ten years as well."

“Li Xi, tell your grandfather honestly, why did you come to the Gu family to find me today of all times, instead of earlier or later?”

When Gu Wentao saw through her thoughts, Li Xi's expression changed slightly, and her posture became a little stiff.

"Don't be nervous, Grandpa isn't trying to make things difficult for you." Gu Wentao wasn't really blaming Li Xi for having impure motives. He said, "Your father returned to Dongzhou City. He could have used this watch to return to the Gu family to take up his post, but he didn't."

"I think he's making plans for you."

These words touched the softest spot in Li Xi's heart. She lowered her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes.

Gu Wentao sensed her sadness and sighed, "What parent doesn't love their child? Your father is honest and kind, but not stupid. He knew that this watch would be the key to opening the door to the Gu family."

"He didn't use the opportunity because he wanted to leave it for you."

"Am I right, kid?"

pat!

Li Xi's tears fell onto the back of her hand.

Du Yusheng quickly handed Li Xi a brand new handkerchief.

"Thank you." Li Xi wiped away her tears.

After calming herself down, Li Xi said, "My father was seriously injured in the car accident, but he didn't die on the spot. He passed away in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. I was sitting in the ambulance with him at that time."

“This watch was given to me by him before he passed away. My father solemnly instructed me not to come to the Gu family to find you unless it was absolutely necessary.”

"Dad said that important connections should be saved for important moments."

"I see." After learning the whole story, Gu Wentao admired Li Chang'an's father even more. "Your father is truly an honest and kind man."

“Grandpa Gu, you just asked me why I chose to come to see you at this time of year instead of earlier or later.”

Li Xi didn't hide anything and said, "I came here today to ask you to grant me a request."

Gu Wentao wasn't in a hurry to make a promise. He first asked her, "What do you want to ask of me?"

Li Xi forced a smile and said, "I hope the old man will promise me that Xie Jiaoyue will not become your granddaughter-in-law!"

Yo ho.

What a boastful tone!

Gu Wentao feigned anger, his stern face intimidating Li Xi: "I'm afraid that won't work. You know my grandson's situation is special, and Xie Jiaoyue is the only girl he can talk to."

“I’m afraid if she drives him away, my grandson might be a bachelor for the rest of his life.”

"If you won't allow Xie Jiaoyue to marry my grandson, then you will?"

“Old sir,” Li Xi said with a smile, “Actually, they’ve already broken up. I just overheard your grandson rejecting Xie Jiaoyue’s confession, saying that he never had any romantic feelings for Xie Jiaoyue.”

"He even berated Xie Jiaoyue for being delusional. He also had that bodyguard named Xue Hen use nunchucks to chase Xie Jiaoyue away!"

"..."

How dare you admit to eavesdropping!
