Ch401: Flaunting Her Wealth

The Li family.

When Xue Xi arrived, it was only 5:30 PM. The banquet would start at 6:30 PM and the living room was basically going to be packed.

The hall was decorated dreamily, and it looked like—

“So expensive!”

Xie Yingying sized up the room’s arrangement. She was even careful when she took a step, afraid that she would step on something expensive and not be able to afford to compensate for it.

She had always known that Li Zixia’s family was rich, but she did not expect the life of a rich person to be like this. Everything was exquisite and made her feel restrained. She could not help but tighten her grip on the gift in her hand, feeling that she could not hand it over.

Xue Xi was looking at her phone.

After school started, the Flames of the Roaring Flame Society all went to the capital to attend. The military training was also going to go on for the next few days. Flame Number One was currently complaining in the group chat that military training was very tiring.

Actually, after Gao Yanchen passed away, the Roaring Flame Society had been depressed for a period of time. However, after they went to support Xue Xi in the IMO in Country M, this group had started to become lively again.

However, the group manager would never send another message again.

Xue Xi was reading their messages when she frowned.

Usually, after Flame Number One sent the message, Qin Shuang would definitely jump out to diss him. The chatterbox would also send Xue Xi messages every day and even call her every night to chat.

The chatterbox had a lot to say. She could talk non-stop for half an hour every time, but after chatting for a while, the topic would go back to her husband, Cen Bai.

However, Qin Shuang had not sent her any messages since Friday.

And on Thursday, she only said that she had to busy herself with some matters. She might not be able to contact her much in the future, but this was too little, right?

Suddenly, there was not a single message. Moreover, after they’d been chatting for so long, she actually did not appear.

At this thought, Xue Xi private-messaged Qin Shuang: “What are you doing?”

Unfortunately, Qin Shuang did not reply to her immediately.

Xue Xi put away her phone and looked up.

As it was not time yet, the organizers hired by the Li family were still doing their styling upstairs. The person who was bringing Xue Xi and Xie Yingying in was the Li family’s butler.

After they entered the room, the butler sent them to the staircase.

Gu Peng stood there and was waiting for them.

From afar, she saw Gu Peng wearing a suit and a bow tie. He looked exceptionally handsome, and Xie Yingying could not help but whisper, “Sister Xi, no wonder Senior Gu Peng is deemed the most handsome among the second-years. He looks quite handsome in a suit!”

Xue Xi looked up.

Handsome?

She felt that Xiang Huai looked better in a suit.

As the two of them thought this, Gu Peng took a step forward and said with a smile, “Xiao Xia originally intended to come down personally to fetch you guys, but the stylist was only halfway through her hair, so I came down instead. Follow me.”
