Chapter 73 Someone Wants to Buy Li Xi as a Bride!
“Xi Xi”.
Xie Xingyun was somewhat flattered to see Li Xi, who was still willing to come to see him.
Standing half a meter away from Xie Xingyun, Li Xi pointed at his shoulder and said mockingly, "Why aren't you wearing a suit today? Did you hurt your shoulder and put on some liniment so it's hard to move around?"
Xie Xingyun's smile vanished instantly.
“You’ve changed a lot.” Xie Xingyun said in a complicated tone, “You used to care about my health the most.”
Now, his injuries have become her source of amusement.
"People change. After all, just a few months ago, we were having a secret relationship, and now you're a married man."
“Mr. Xie, now that you’re married, you should abide by the virtues of a husband. If you keep coming to see me, Jiang Qingkong will accuse me of seducing you again.”
Hearing these barbed words, Xie Xingyun could only smile bitterly and did not refute them.
After Li Xi had vented her anger, he said, "Whether you believe me or not, it's true that I love you."
Li Xi scoffed.
To everyone's surprise, Xie Xingyun shamelessly said, "There was a reason why I did that to you on the day of the engagement banquet."
Li Xi almost laughed in anger, "Oh? Young Master Xie almost forced himself on me, so you had your reasons. Tell me, what exactly were your reasons?"
Li Xi wanted to see what other excuses this scumbag could come up with.
“My dad went to a casino in Las Vegas a few months ago and made a lot of money there, remember?”
Li Xi thought about it carefully before saying, "It seems that there is such a thing."
But Li Xi didn't know exactly how much he won.
"Actually, that money wasn't earned through gambling."
Upon hearing this, Li Xi was taken aback. "Then how did it come about?"
"Someone bought your future from him."
Li Xi's face immediately darkened.
What does "bought me" mean?
"It means exactly what it says." Xie Xingyun looked at Li Xi with a complicated expression and said, "Xi Xi, foreign forces are watching you."
“They infiltrated the casino, got close to my father, and successfully bribed him with money to persuade him to marry you off abroad.”
"And the man who wants to marry you is a distinguished duke from Continent O, with countless assets and investments all over the world..."
"He wants you to be his bride."
“I investigated that man. He is a severe sadist. It is said that his first three wives were all young and beautiful foreign women.”
“Every single one of them died without knowing why, and died a miserable and pitiful death.”
Li Xi felt a sense of absurdity, as if she were listening to a novel. "Xie Xingyun, there's a limit to your jokes."
"It's true." Xie Xingyun pulled out a photo of a secretly taken document from his phone. The document contained an agreement in both Chinese and English.
And this was indeed the document in which Xie Mingzong agreed to marry her to the old duke.
“You are our family’s adopted daughter. My father has countless ways to send you to the Duke. After I found out about this, I argued and made a scene with my father, but he was unmoved.”
"Jiang Qingkong and I..." Xie Xingyun's eyes flashed with pain. He said, "The fact that we checked into a hotel and were secretly filmed was all a setup by my father."
"Actually, the text message I received that day was from you."
"I wondered whoever came into my room that night, I thought..."
Xie Xingyun's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "That day was my 28th birthday. I thought it was a birthday present from you."
But on his birthday, he lost his lover forever.
Li Xi was skeptical, always suspecting that Xie, the scumbag, was making up a lie to clear his name. "But you almost raped me."
"That's because I want you to move your household registration out of the Xie family!"
"Li Xi, don't you understand? I can't protect you!" Xie Xingyun hated his powerlessness, his tone filled with despair: "If the other party were just a man with wealth comparable to mine, then so be it."
"But he happens to be a duke with a fortune of hundreds of billions of euros!"
What can I do?
There was nothing he could do.
He couldn't change his father's decision, and he couldn't fight against the old duke.
Therefore, he could only resort to such despicable means to ruin Li Xi's reputation in front of all the guests.
Tell me, what right does a promiscuous woman who seduced her adopted brother and ruined his marriage have to stay in the Xie family?
In order to quell the anger of the Jiang family, Xie Mingzong will definitely kick Li Xi out of the house.
Even if Xie Mingzong is concerned about the final payment from the old duke and is reluctant to part with Li Xi, who is just a tool, Xie Xingyun can still find a way to force him to get rid of Li Xi.
Xie Xingyun underestimated Li Xi.
Unexpectedly, she was so strong-willed that she called the police and made a big fuss about it, which not only saved her reputation but also allowed her to extort money from Xie Mingzong and his wife as well as the Jiang family.
To be honest, Xie Xingyun was genuinely happy for Li Xi when he saw her successfully move her household registration and break free from the Xie family's control.
"Let's put aside whether those things are true or not." Li Xi was more concerned about something else. "Why did you come to see me last night?"
"I've come to tell you," Xie Xingyun said in a deep voice, "Wells will arrive in Dongzhou next week to attend an international economic symposium."
Wells?
Xie Xingyun reminded her, "It's that perverted old duke."
Li Xi's expression changed drastically.
"I won't believe everything you say." Li Xi turned to leave.
Thinking of something, she stopped and turned to Xie Xingyun, saying, "You said that on your birthday, you received a text message from me, and I'm willing to believe that."
"You said you really loved me, and I believe that."
After all, during the 12 years she lived in the Xie family, only Xie Xingyun truly cared for her, protected her, and noticed her grievances and sadness.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xingyun was about to show a relieved smile when he heard Li Xi say, "But I don't believe that on the day of the engagement banquet, you forced yourself on me just to protect me."
Li Xi's gaze shifted downwards, staring at Xie Xingyun's lower body. She said soberly, "Xie Xingyun, if you truly love someone, how could you bear to ruin her reputation in this way?"
“You can just tell me about Wells’s perverted ways, and I’ll decide whether or not to play along.”
"Admit it, you just wanted to sleep with me that day."
Never believe crocodile tears, the difficulties of capitalists, or the explanations of scumbags.
In Li Xi's opinion, Xie Xingyun's love was nothing but a load of rubbish!
She wants someone who can be honest with her and face the storms of life with her, not a man who hides everything from her and then silently engages in self-sacrifice.
"Your self-righteous, devoted love seems to me like a worm hiding inside a tiger-skin green pepper! It won't kill you if you eat it, but it disgusts me!"
Xie Xingyun never expected that after he told Li Xi the whole truth, Li Xi's attitude towards him would still be terrifyingly cold.
Staring at her cold and heartless back, Xie Xingyun asked unwillingly, "That Gu Zhen, is he really that good?"
Why bring up Professor Gu?
Seeing that Li Xi had slowed down, Xie Xingyun thought he had caught her red-handed.
He was even more pleased with himself.
"Li Xi, do you think Gu Zhen is completely honest with you?"
"Do you even know who he is? Has he told you his true identity? You haven't even figured out his background, and you're already living with him."
"Li Xi, why are you degrading yourself like this! We've been in love for three years, and I haven't even dared to touch you, but you two have only known each other for a short time and you've already slept together!"
"If he truly loves you, would he treat you like this?"
Upon hearing these words, Li Xi flew into a rage.
Is living with Gu Zhen considered degrading?
I know what Xie Xingyun is most afraid of hearing.
Li Xi deliberately picked those words to provoke Xie Xingyun, "You have no idea that it wasn't Gu Zhen who was playing with my feelings, but that I admired his looks, coveted his wealth, and was interested in his good figure."
"I don't care whether he's honest with me or not, as long as he takes off his clothes and is honest with me, that's all that matters."
"We're together for the thrill and excitement."
