FMLRWS Chapter 681

But Luo Yuan’s family is wealthier than Luo Xi’s family. Luo Yuan’s mother loves to compare her husband with Mr. Luo, and after all these years there has still been no change.

This time, hearing Luo Yuan’s mother boast about her daughter’s handsome and wealthy boyfriend, combined with her daughter being accepted into a foreign university, she called to show off.

She couldn’t mention anything about her own daughter’s marriage, so she felt incredibly stifled. Knowing that the other party’s daughter had been accepted by a foreign university made her green with envy. When she thought about her own daughter’s previously poor grades, she was very uncomfortable.

So this time, she called her daughter, hoping she could come back, preferably with the young master of the Leng family.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xi felt a bit of a headache.

She has to go to work tomorrow. After work, she needed to rush over. She didn’t know if she would make it in time.

And what’s more, she couldn’t even remember what Luo Yuan looked like.

Forget it, whatever happens, happens. She’ll take it one step at a time.

When Luo Xi told Leng Minxing about this, he frowned slightly because he had an important social engagement tomorrow night.

Luo Xi didn’t want to delay his work, so she said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to go. After all, it’s not a very important person.”

Leng Minxing thought for a moment and nodded.

The next day, after work, Luo Xi had Anan drive her to the Luo family’s house.

Because there was no time to change, she hadn’t even changed out of her company uniform and looked just like a company white-collar worker.

When she arrived, she noticed a luxury Mercedes that didn’t belong to her family parked outside.

Luo Xi glanced at it but quickly looked away and entered the villa.

“Mom, Sister Xi is back!” Mo Xiaoxue, dressed like a little white rabbit, saw Luo Xi and called excitedly to the kitchen.

Mother Luo came out. Seeing her daughter who had matured a lot after not being seen for a long time, she said with relief, “I thought you weren’t coming back today.” Not seeing Leng Minxing with her made her a bit disappointed, but she understood he was the company’s president and must have been very busy, so it was normal that he didn’t have time to come. She didn’t ask any further questions.

Luo Xi smiled and said, “How could I not? I haven’t been back in a long time, so this time is just right to see Mom and Dad. I just got a part-time job and got off late.”

“Oh, Xixi is back. Look at you, just got off work?” The wealthy woman sitting on the sofa in the living room looked over upon hearing the voice. Seeing Luo Xi in her professional business outfit, a smug look flashed in her eyes.

Luo Xi glanced at the other woman and couldn’t remember how to address her.

Her mother noticed this and reminded her, “That’s your aunt. Quickly greet her.”

“Hello, Auntie.” Luo Xi nodded and walked over.

Inside, she found her father chatting with a man in a suit who looked somewhat similar to him and was laughing.

Seeing her, her father smiled and said, “Xixi is back, come sit down. Your uncle was just asking about you.”

“Hello, Uncle.” Luo Xi obediently greeted him.

Beside her uncle sat the wealthy woman who just spoke, her aunt. Next to her was Luo Yuan, who was elegantly dressed in Chanel.

Luo Yuan’s curious gaze lingered on Luo Xi, and upon realizing how beautiful she still was, she felt a bit uncomfortable.

This cousin had always been prettier than her. People often compared them, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But when her eyes fell on Luo Xi’s office uniform, Luo Yuan smiled, thinking to herself that no matter how beautiful she was, her father didn’t earn money like her own father, and she wasn’t living as comfortably as her.

“This is Xixi, huh? It’s been over ten years! She’s indeed grown more beautiful. I used to carry you when you were little, Xixi. Do you still remember your uncle?” Uncle Luo said with a smile.

Luo Xi had forgotten long ago but maintained a serious expression and replied, “Of course, I remember. Uncle was so handsome back then.”

Uncle Luo smiled widely at the compliment.

Her aunt beside them said, “She’s grown quite pretty, but I heard she’s not studying properly anymore. Aren’t you still in university? Why are you working instead? What kind of behavior is that? If all else fails, there’s still your father’s company. If not, your uncle could find you a good position in his company.”

Luo Xi grunted and explained, “Auntie, it’s just a part-time job. I’ll be back in school once classes start.”

“Is that so? But I heard your grades are poor. Your father probably used money to get you into university, unlike my Yuanyuan, who got accepted by a prestigious university abroad. Auntie is not trying to put you down, but I think you should learn from Yuanyuan. It’s for your own good.” Her aunt patted her daughter’s head, her tone strange.

Luo Xi’s mouth twitched. She really couldn’t respond to that. Her previous grades were indeed very poor, and getting into university was primarily due to her father’s financial support.

Beside her, Mo Xiaoxue couldn’t help but speak up, “Sister Xixi is really impressive now. She ranked third place in the class last time!”

Her aunt laughed at this, “Third place? You didn’t cheat, did you? It’s not that I doubt you, just that your previous grades were really too poor…”

Luo Xi: “…”

Mother Luo’s face turned pale from anger.

Luo Yuan gave her mother a reproachful look and said, “Mom, how can you put down my cousin? These days, grades aren’t that important. With Cousin Xixi’s beauty, she might marry a rich man and live a luxury life, right, cousin?” She said curiously and winked at Luoxi.

Hearing this, Aunt immediately asked, “Xixi, you’re not young anymore, soon to be twenty-one. Do you have a boyfriend? My Yuanyuan was pursued madly by a rich second generation recently, who even gifted her a Lamborghini worth over five million yuan.” She looked at her daughter.

(TL: Alright, please skip this age thing. It’s all messed up.)

“A limited edition Lamborghini,” Luo Yuan said, covering her mouth with a laugh.

“Right, that Lamborghini—it’s over five million! You must find someone like that in the future, someone who is generous and rich to his girlfriend.” Her aunt smiled proudly, her eyes sweeping over Luo Xi from head to toe. “You probably don’t have a boyfriend, do you? If not, should I introduce someone? I have a nephew who just returned from studying abroad. He’s quite handsome but a bit older. But let me tell you, older men know how to treat people better. What do you think? Should I set up a meeting for you?”

“No, thank you, Auntie.” Luo Xi quickly shook her head.

“Why not? Look at how pitiful you are, coming back so sad. You just took a taxi, right? You’re over twenty and still without a car. It’s really pathetic. You have to do part-time jobs, it’s so pitiable. My Yuanyuan can just sit at home, and her boyfriend gives her a good allowance every month, plus a car to drive around. Don’t you want a boyfriend?” Her aunt was full of praise for her daughter, and her eyes were practically overflowing with pride.

Luo Xi smiled helplessly. “I already have a boyfriend.”

“You have a boyfriend? Really?” Her aunt exclaimed and looked at her in surprise, then curiously blabbered on, “Where is he from? Does his family have a company? How old is he? Is he handsome?”

Luo Xi’s mouth twitched. “He’s quite handsome, his family has a company, and he’s twenty-six.”

Upon hearing this, her aunt curled her lips and said, “Twenty-six is a bit too old, isn’t it? Men at that age are usually eager to get married. You still have school, so it’s definitely not the right time to marry. Plus, most men at that age love to deceive young girls. Don’t be fooled. Also, he seems stingy for wanting you to work. Tsk tsk, you can’t have a man like that.”

Luo Xi felt a headache coming. “Working is my choice. He can’t do anything about it.”

“Cousin, you really don’t have any ambition. Nowadays, college students are all busy with their studies or want to study abroad. Why are you only thinking of working? Our Luo family has never had anyone like you who does part-time work. People will laugh at us if they find out.” Luo Yuan giggled.

“Exactly. Second brother, why don’t you try to persuade your daughter? How much money can you make working? Oh right, Xixi, what’s your monthly income? Five thousand yuan?”

Luo Xi shook her head. “I haven’t received my salary yet, so I don’t know.”

Hearing this, her aunt smiled even more brightly. “I bet it’s only two or three thousand. Yuanyuan’s boyfriend is only twenty-five years old and makes a hundred thousand a month!”

Luo Xi: “…..”

Father Luo felt his face getting red and looked awkwardly at his daughter.

He never expected his daughter to be targeted like this.

Growing up, whenever the two families gathered, it was always a comparison of grades and clothes.

Now that they’re older, it’s about who has the wealthiest boyfriend and who is doing better.

It’s really giving him a headache.

“You’re really something. Xixi just got back, and you keep asking questions. You’re scaring the child.” Her uncle hurriedly reprimanded, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Her aunt chuckled coldly. “After not seeing her for so many years, as Xixi’s Auntie, of course, I should care more about her life.”

Luo Xi thought to herself, “This care is something I really can’t accept.”

“By the way, why didn’t you bring your boyfriend? Call him over to meet. Auntie can help see if he’s suitable for you. By the way, Yuanyuan, isn’t your boyfriend also working in Yun City? He should be off work by now. Bring him over to show your second aunt and the others,” she said and looked smugly at Mother Luo, whose face wasn’t looking too good.

Luo Yuan nodded and sweetly went to make the call.

Luo Xi rolled her eyes and said, “My boyfriend has to work late today. He probably can’t come.”

Just as she finished speaking, someone ran in from outside and announced, “Madam, the young master of the Leng family has arrived.”

Father Luo and Mother Luo’s eyes lit up, and they quickly stood up.
