The Rise of Rich Family's Daughter

C23 Broken Roots and Self-destruction



C23 Broken Roots and Self-destruction

0"Are you sure you want to invest?" Zhuang Xiao Mei opened her mouth unhappily. She was not blind. She naturally saw how men looked at her from time to time.    

    

"What I think of is the script. It is a cultural industry with great potential. Can't you have a more open field of vision?" Lu Yan was a little irritated. Zhuang Xiao Mei's tone of voice during this half a year was really too much.    

    

"There is no problem with the script, but will the lead actors be more confident in choosing those big shots? This little girl clearly wants to hook men to the top. You won't be willing to be toyed with by her just like that, right?"    

    

Zhuang Xiao Mei's words became more and more difficult to listen to. These two days, they had a lot of disputes over this matter.    

    

"Do we have to argue about this kind of problem in such an occasion?" Lu Yan swallowed the wine in his hand, then turned around and walked away.    

    

"You!" Zhuang Xiao Mei wanted to throw a tantrum, but in the end, she held it in. In such an occasion, she had to be noble.    

    

Li Xi made herself spin like a proud princess on the dance floor. She could only completely ignore it. Only then could she be unwillingly placed in her heart. She wanted to hook Lu Yan. She wanted to infuriate Zhuang Xiao Mei and make that snake-like woman reveal her venomous teeth. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to pull it out.    

    

This was what she planned and also what she did. However, she kept feeling that there was a sharp gaze everywhere. She looked around more than once. However, she did not manage to catch that cold gaze. She felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.    

    

"Let's talk." After the song ended, Zhuang Xiao Mei walked over with large strides.    

    

"Okay." Li Xi nodded with a faint smile and glanced around before following Zhuang Xiao Mei to the balcony.    

    

The balcony was an extension of the hotel's second floor banquet hall. It was European style. It would be nice to sit in Spring and Autumn to drink tea and chat, but in the hot summer weather, very few people would come here except for smoking.    

    

"Miss Zhuang, about the script, if there is anything you do not understand, just ask me." Li Xi glanced at the man in the shadows with the corner of her eye. She smiled and continued to show her innocence.    

    

"Miss Li, there is no one else here, so you do not need to act with me." Zhuang Xiao Mei stiffly interrupted Li Xi, "I have investigated your background. You are the third miss of the Li family. Big brother is CEO of Fenghua Group. His family is still trying to matchmake you and the Pei family's Little Young Master's marriage. Do you need us to invest in something like this? "    

    

Hehe.    

    

Li Xi laughed self-deprecatingly twice. Her voice seemed to be filled with bitterness. "If you have investigated, you should know that I am just an illegitimate daughter of the Li family. You should also know that I have lived a self-sufficient life in university for four years. Do you think I can get any support from my family? "    

    

Li Xi sniffed and continued, "The Pei Group is very prosperous, but Third Young Master can't see anything. The engagement between the two families originally did not belong to me, but because Third Young Master may be permanently blind. That's why elder sister threw this kind of silk ball to me."    

    

"Miss Zhuang, if you were me, what would you choose? I can only choose myself. I don't want to be an unspoken rule. I don't want to turn myself into a tool to sleep with. Do you understand how I feel? " Li Xi excitedly pulled Zhuang Xiao Mei's arm, "Please, please help me. I really want to take this role. I can really play this role well. Trust me. "    

    

Li Xi used a lot of force to hold Zhuang Xiao Mei's arm. That force was already close to pinching. Zhuang Xiao Mei frowned and threw her arm with a look of disgust, "Let go of me!"    

    

Ah -    

    

Li Xi borrowed the strength to fall backwards and the high heels on her feet also broke off. Li Xi's entire face was in pain as she collapsed onto the ground.    

    

"How can you push me?" Li Xi's painful voice was choked with sobs. That white and tender hand was already covering her ankle and tears fell down.    

    

"You..." Zhuang Xiao Mei looked at her own hand in confusion. She did not know why such a thing would happen.    

    

"Xiao Mei, you are too much." The woman's words were interrupted by a cold voice behind her. Lu Yan had walked to her without her knowing. His eyes were filled with anger.    

    

"Lu Yan?" Zhuang Xiao Mei had a surprised look on her face.    

    

"Are you alright?" With Lu Yan's possession, Li Xi's ankle was swollen and swollen.    

    

"Sorry, I just care too much about this role. I didn't know Miss Zhuang would hate me so much." As Li Xi spoke, bean-sized tears fell down.    

    

"Li Xi, what kind of drama are you playing?" Zhuang Xiao Mei could not remain calm as she shouted, "Lu Yan, don't tell me you think I pushed her down?" The woman had already grabbed the man's arm as she spoke. She could not bear to see him asking other women for warmth. She had endured enough in the past ten years.    

    

Lu Yan was suddenly lifted up by the sudden force. His face darkened. He didn't expect this woman to be so insensible.    

    

"Miss Li, are you alright?" Li Xi was still considering whether she should let Lu Yan carry a princess in front of Zhuang Xiao Mei when He Qiang ran over with a nervous face. She did not know that there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at her in the dark.    

    

"He Qiang?" Li Xi jumped into the act. Where did he come from?    

    

"Do you know each other?" Lu Yan had already taken Zhuang Xiao Mei's hand off his arm.    

    

"He is the assistant of young master Pei." Li Xi once again felt wronged.    

    

"Oh." Lu Yan nodded. Seeing that He Qiang had already possessed her and was squatting down, he also made some space for her.    

    

"Since Miss Li has someone to take care of her, we should also leave." Zhuang Xiao Mei's heart was very stifled. Right now, she only wanted to leave immediately. She did not want to explode in such a place.    

    

"Miss Li, ask your manager to invite the director and the producer over. I will personally take responsibility for this matter. The female lead will definitely be yours." Lu Yan turned around and left a loud and clear sentence. Then, he left the balcony with his fiancee, who had a twisted expression on her face.    

    

"You are crazy, aren't you?"    

    

"Lu Yan, what do you think I am?"    

    

...    

    

He could faintly hear the crazy voice of that woman. He did not expect that Zhuang Xiao Mei, who was good at pretending and acting, would be so restless. Li Xi's lips curled up into an evil smile. It was hard to tell what emotions she was feeling.    

    

"Are you alright?" He Qiang could not understand Li Xi's expression.    

    

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." As Li Xi spoke, she propped herself up. The high heels on her feet were ignored by her.    

    

"My ankle is swollen!" He Qiang raised his hand to support Li Xi. "Do you know that you still have a big show today?"    

    

"What highlight?" Li Xi was confused.    

    

"You don't know?" He Qiang also felt a little dizzy.    

    

Hiss -    

    

As she limped back, Li Xi took a deep breath in pain. She really did not have the mood to understand He Qiang's words. Even if she wanted to leave now, she had to go through the banquet hall. This needed some courage.
