Forced to Date a Big Shot

Li Zixia: “?”

She was completely stunned and dumbstruck. She looked at Xue Xi in disbelief. “What did you say?”

Xue Xi paused. “My mother is Night Li.”

Li Zixia: “…”

There were many people around and everyone was gathered together to chat. Moreover, people were starting to take their time downstairs.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were entertaining guests who had arrived early. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they welcomed the new guests again.

At a rough glance, there were about a hundred people who were close to the Li family today.

However, at this moment, Li Zixia could not hear the commotion around her.

She widened her eyes and stared at Xue Xi in disbelief. “Xi, Sister Xi, y-you didn’t speak nonsense, right?”

Xue Xi did not answer this question and stared at her.

However, Xie Yingying had already believed it. “F*ck! This news is too shocking! Li Zixia, so the person you’ve been looking for is right in front of you!”

Li Zixia: “!!!”

Still in disbelief! She must be dreaming!

…

On the other side.

Downstairs, Fu Yuanxiu had already arrived. He was wearing a suit and glasses. Although he was tall, he was very skinny. Moreover, he coughed while walking and held a handkerchief in his hand.

Recluse was the president of the Chinese Art Association and the Fu family had been staying in the capital.

Moreover, the Fu family was wealthy. They did not have a thousand famous paintings in their family, but they still had a few hundred. They were priceless. Hence, even though the Fu family did not have much cash since they were not businessmen, they belonged to the classic literary world and had a high status among the wealthy families.

Whoever had a banquet would send an invitation to their family.

Recluse would definitely not come to Li Zixia’s birthday banquet, but Fu Yuanxiu would come to join in the fun. After he entered, Mr. Li greeted him and asked Gu Peng to entertain him.

After all, Fu Yuanxiu was a young man.

Gu Peng and Fu Yuanxiu were considered to be very familiar with each other. The two of them often met, and because they liked national paintings, Gu Peng often went to the Fu family’s house.

After the two of them greeted each other, Gu Peng directly revealed his motive. “I bought a painting. Can you help me see if it’s real?”

Fu Yuanxiu coughed and nodded. He said gently, “Sure.”

Gu Peng brought Fu Yuanxiu upstairs.

When he went upstairs, Fu Yuanxiu vaguely saw a red-haired Xue Xi and was slightly stunned.

Gu Peng saw him stop and followed his gaze. When he saw Xue Xi, who had her back facing the two of them, he said, “Are you looking at that red-haired girl? She is indeed good-looking, but she said that the painting I bought is fake. She is very arrogant! Hurry and help me take a look!”

Fu Yuanxiu retracted his gaze.

He felt that he had seen wrongly. Although Sister Xi was attending school in the capital, she had a head of soft black hair. She was so low-profile, so it was unlikely that she would dye her hair red.

Fu Yuanxiu followed Gu Peng upstairs and stood in front of the painting.

Fu Yuanxiu was stunned when he saw this painting.

Their family had actually sold the real one, but they definitely did not sell it to the Gu family! Moreover, he had seen the real one. After buying that painting, his father had studied it for a few days. He also looked at it every day. The painting in front of him clearly did not evoke the loneliness of that painting!

He frowned and recalled Gu Peng’s words. He asked, “Did you just say that the girl said that this painting is fake?”

Gu Peng nodded. “Yes, and she even said arrogantly that this fake was drawn by her. How laughable…”

Just as he said this, Fu Yuanxiu’s lips twitched. He asked, “Do you know the girl’s name?”

Gu Peng had a look of disdain. “Her name is Xue Xi.”

Fu Yuanxiu: “…”

Seeing the corners of his lips twitch, Gu Peng felt uneasy. “Why?”

Fu Yuanxiu said, “Do you know that Ms. Night Li has a daughter?”

Gu Peng nodded. “I know! We invited Ms. Night Li over today because we wanted to get to know her daughter. After all, Ms. Night Li definitely wouldn’t have time to play with us. Xiao Xia doesn’t have many real best friends either. Compared to those who have a lot of ulterior motives, I hope that Xiao Xia can be with someone who’s in the arts. They are all more aloof, straightforward, and disdainful of scheming…”

Fu Yuanxiu coughed twice. When he finally stopped coughing, he shook his head and sighed helplessly. “Then do you know what Teacher Night Li’s daughter’s name is?”

“What?”

Fu Yuanxiu: “Xue Xi.”

Gu Peng: “?”

He was in disbelief. “How can that be? I don’t believe it!”

Fu Yuanxiu must be joking with him!

Downstairs.

Mr. and Mrs. Li stood at the door and greeted the guests who entered.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Zixia from time to time, but every time she looked over, she would find Li Zixia playing with a red-haired girl. Moreover, she did not know what they were talking about, but Li Zixia’s attitude became very agitated.

Mrs. Li sighed and shook her head. “Is that Zixia’s friend?”

Mr. Li nodded. “Yes. She’s dyed her hair red. It’s actually nothing much. It’s mainly because she said that the painting Gu Peng gave her was fake!”

Mrs. Li frowned. “Where did this girl come from?! She mustn’t lead Xiao Xia astray.”

Mr. Li sighed. “I’m not sure about this either. However, Xiao Xia has already grown up. The child should know what she’s doing! She’ll definitely be able to see what kind of friend she’s made. However, I’ll still invite Ms. Night Li to go upstairs to take a look at that painting later. When the truth comes out, I believe that Xiao Xia will be able to make a judgment herself.”

Mrs. Li nodded.

At this moment, another car stopped outside and a middle-aged couple alighted. The woman was wearing a purple cheongsam and looked very elegant. She exuded an intellectual aura.

The man was dressed in a suit and was tall and mighty. One could tell that he was very handsome when he was young.

The two of them walked over and Mr. Li hurriedly said, “This is Night Li and her husband!”

Mrs. Li instantly became enthusiastic.

The two of them took two steps forward to welcome her.

After greeting each other, Mrs. Li looked behind Ye Li. “Where’s your daughter? Is she not here? Xiao Xia has been nagging about wanting to be friends with her!”

Ye Li smiled. “She’s already here!”

Mrs. Li and Mr. Li looked at each other in shock. “Already here? But we didn’t see her!”

Ye Li said, “I didn’t expect our Xixi to be Ms. Li’s classmate and dormitory mate. What a coincidence!”

After saying this, she looked inside and waved at the distance. “Xixi!”

Ever since she’d learned that Night Li would come, Xue Xi knew that she and her mother would come to the same place. Hence, she had been paying attention to the entrance. When Ye Li called her, she led Li Zixia, who was still in shock, over.

Coincidentally, Gu Peng had also staggered down the stairs. He felt that Fu Yuanxiu must be lying to him.

However, just as he went downstairs, he saw the girl with red hair and an arrogant aura walking up to Ms. Night Li. She called coldly, “Mom.”

“…”
