Hearing Xia Chenxing's words, Li Ruixu couldn't help but cough a few times. This little woman really knew how to open her mouth. As far as he knew, his grandmother doted on her very much. Her monthly allowance could reach seven figures. She often sent her bags, clothes and jewelry. If this was considered miserable, then not many people in this world were doing well…
Xia Zhiguang was so angry that his eyes were burning. If not for his status as a man and his pride, he would have taught this unfilial daughter a lesson! But at the moment, he could only endure it. He did not say a word and left with a cold snort. He still had something important to settle with Zhuang Meiyu!
It was a noisy banquet. Everyone was exchanging toasts and it was very lively. Xia Chenxing glanced at the man beside her and quietly retreated. She was prepared to escape again. She was not sure why. She, who had always been bold, subconsciously wanted to escape the moment she saw this man. She did not know if it was the aftereffects of the pistol. However, just as she was about to turn around and slip into the crowd, her skirt was stepped on. The man had appeared behind her at some point. His voice was low and magnetic as he said in her ear, "Xia Chenxing, you still want to escape?"
Xia Chenxing turned around and revealed an extremely sincere smile. "Sir, I need to go to the washroom. Please raise your feet."
Li Ruixu smiled and said, "The bathroom isn't in that direction. Do you want me to take Miss Xia there, hmm?"
Seeing that her excuse had been seen through, Xia Chenxing played dumb and said, "Hey! Look at my memory. I remembered it wrongly. There's no need for you to bring me there. After all, I'm a married woman. It's better for you to keep a distance from me. My husband is the eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Ruixu. You must have heard of him."
Li Ruixu was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily and said, "Xia Chenxing, it's useless to mention Li Ruixu. If I wanted to find trouble with you, the Li family wouldn't be able to help you at all." He didn't expect this little woman to know how to use his name to suppress others at the critical moment, but unfortunately, she used it in the wrong place. However, this little woman was really interesting. No wonder his grandmother liked her so much.
Xia Chenxing was shocked. Who was this man in front of her? He actually didn't care about the Li family. No one in W City had ever dared to say that. Could he be some hidden big shot? Although she was a little flustered, her expression was calm as she said calmly, "Sir, we should have written off what happened last time. Although you saved me, I also helped your woman. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to come looking for me now?"
"Well, from what you're saying, it doesn't seem appropriate," Li Ruixu said, pretending to think. He wanted to tease the little woman and see how she would handle it.
"Right? I knew you were a reasonable person. Now that we've cleared this up, I'm going to the bathroom. It's a little urgent. Please forgive me." With that, Xia Chenxing pulled her skirt out from under the man's feet and quickly left with her high heels. In a moment, she disappeared from Li Ruixu's sight.
Li Ruixu looked in the direction where Xia Chenxing disappeared for a long time. At this moment, Xiao Qi walked over and said, "Boss, we've already contacted Liu Er. He agreed to be our insider."
Li Ruixu then came to his senses and said slowly, "Well, that was well done."
"Boss, when are we leaving?" Xiao Qi asked again. He followed Boss's gaze and saw nothing.
Li Ruixi replied absent-mindedly, "You go first. I'll go back later."
Xiao Qi did not ask further. Boss definitely had his reasons for doing things, so he said, "Okay, Boss. I'll go back first."
Li Ruixu simply grunted in reply, his gaze still fixed in that direction. The truth was, he achieved what he set out to do today, but for some reason he had a feeling that the little woman would do something else that would surprise him. That was why he was reluctant to leave. He wanted to wait and see.

Xia Zhiguang's first purpose for hosting the charity gala tonight was to salvage the reputation of the Xia family. His second and most important purpose was to announce something big. He stood on the stage in a well-dressed manner and said many polite words in a serious manner. Then, he got to the point and said, "Those who can come to the gala today are all my relatives and close friends. They are all family. Therefore, I have an important announcement to make on this big day. My daughter, Xia Zhixi, and the young master of the Yin family, Yin Yisen, will hold a wedding in two months. I hope that everyone present can attend."
