The CEO admires the strong? I have been able to breathe independently since I was a child

Old Madam Li took Chi Xiao's hand and placed it on her knee. Like any ordinary grandmother, she sighed lovingly, "Nannan's hands are covered with calluses. It must be hard work out there."

If you don't work hard, your life will be miserable.

He smiled slowly, wanting to laugh but not yet.

It was really hard for her to pretend that she had reconciled with the past and suddenly became cheerful and bright.

After all, that’s 2300 yuan a month, the same salary for more than ten years!!!

Oh shift! With her skills and speed, she could be the number one delivery driver in the area, and making 1 a day wouldn't be a problem!

Even if you have a stable job, you are still worse than cattle and horses.

There are no slaves in this country, unless you are the most easily deceived minor in the organization.

As I was thinking, a warm and round object suddenly touched my wrist, and I felt like I was trapped by a heavy object.

Chi Xiao looked down and saw that it was a twisted jade bracelet, imperial green in color, with a delicate texture and a smooth touch, feeling like touching money.

As the saying goes, the closer the color of jade is to that of a beer bottle, the more valuable it is. This jade with a bright green light must be worth hundreds of millions.

Come here and you can eat and get gifts. You can lie down straight for the rest of your life.

"Grandma Li, what are you doing..."

"Don't be nervous, Nannan," Old Lady Li held Chi Xiao's hand tightly and tried to comfort her. "It's a blessing for the Li family that you didn't strongly oppose the marriage. No matter which of my grandsons you marry in the future, I will always treat you as my own granddaughter. It may be a bit abrupt for Grandma Li to say this, but it's what I really think. I've been looking forward to your official visit to our home for more than ten years."

(??????)

Chi Xiao was shy.

She finds it difficult to joke with sincere and serious elders, which may be related to her family education.

"Grandma Li, thank you for your gift." She lowered her eyes a little embarrassedly. "I came to see the birthday girl today and only brought a small gift. I didn't expect you to specially ask me to come over for a chat. I feel a little ashamed that I didn't prepare a gift for you."

"My dear child, grandma is really happy that you are willing to marry into our family."

Li He also used the term "marrying down".

On the humbleness of a wealthy and powerful family.

Coming from a lady from a prominent family, this statement is a bit modest.

Chi Xiao gradually lost himself in the sounds of "good boy", "girl", and "good girl", and really thought that he was an honest person.

"Grandma Li, please stop praising me. I feel embarrassed." Chi Xiao touched his neck unnaturally, feeling the excitement brought by hundreds of millions of jewels.

The two old men laughed in the standard old-money style of rich people. Their voices were casual and relaxed, perfectly demonstrating the emotional stability of the superiors.

"Nannan, your lipstick is all smudged." As she said this, Mrs. Li had a hint of delicate playfulness on her face. "The banquet is about to start. I'll have someone take you to touch up your makeup. You can come with us later, okay?"

...Okay?

That's definitely... not good.

It was Mr. Li’s 80th birthday, and the three men should be standing behind him. It was totally against etiquette to bring her along.

Mr. Li smiled and said, "With such a beautiful girl following us, those old men and women who come here must be envious of me."

Obedience is worse than respect, and she is always happy to join in with sincere invitations.

Not long after, a young woman walked in, followed by several neatly dressed makeup artists.

Old Madam Li ordered, "Put on some makeup for the young lady."

"Yes, old lady."

While putting on makeup, Chi Xiao glanced outside and happened to see two men looking at her furtively.

One is anxious, the other is calm.

After putting on her makeup, she felt that she should do something, so she stood up and went to support Old Lady Li.

"Good boy." Old Mrs. Li praised again.

It was just an ordinary courtesy from a junior to an elder, but I received such sincere praise, which made me feel very happy.

Encouraging education can indeed make people extremely confident.

At this moment, she felt that if she praised her a few more times, she would just call her grandma.

Chi Xiao has always been a principled person. She calls those who are rich and well-educated and treat her well, "Grandma"; those who are rich but uneducated and like to boss people around, "Old Lady"; and those who are poor, swear, rude and unreasonable, "Old Immortal".

After she went out, she looked over there and found that the two grown men were gone.

"Grandpa, grandma." A clear and cool voice sounded behind him.

The old butler and the servants respectfully called out, "Young Master."

Li He walked over, his eyes first attracted by the twisted jade bracelet on Chi Xiao's left wrist, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"You called me?"

"Well," Mr. Li said, with his hands behind his back, "It's inconvenient for you to wear a formal dress, so you hold grandma."

"Okay." Li He reached out his hand naturally, "Grandma, where's the mung bean soup?"

Mrs. Li smiled and raised her hand to poke Li He's forehead. "You kid, you're still thinking about me. Let's drink together later when Xiaoxiao is free."

"it is good."

Chi Xiaoze stood on the right side of Old Lady Li. When they were about to leave together, a young woman came over and helped her adjust her skirt.

"Miss, my name is Yang Lu. You can ask me to do anything at the banquet."

"it is good."

It feels like... it's official.

Mr. and Mrs. Li did not allow Li Ge and Li Qi to come over, but specifically ordered Li He to stand beside them and appear with her.

The banquet will start in five minutes, and the guests outside must have arrived.

Having her appear in this way tells all the guests present that Li He from the Li family and Chi Xiao from the Chi family are destined to be together and are a match made in heaven.

I thought it was just a private chat, but it turned out to be a meal, and I didn’t expect it to be an official announcement in disguise.

It is true that old ginger is still spicy.

Li Ge, Li Qi and the others didn't know what was going on, so they must have been quite surprised.

As I was thinking, I walked to the door unknowingly.

As soon as this wooden door is opened, everyone will look over here...

So exciting!

You can also pretend to be big!

Mu Chen nodded and the doorman opened the door.

The fragrance of flowers hits you instantly, and the soft sound of the wind beside your ears is like bubbling lemon soda in the summer.

The hall instantly became quiet to welcome the most anticipated birthday star of the event.

Ah…it’s the center of attention! It’s a gathering of the best! It’s a shining light!!

Come on! Throw all that envy and jealousy at her! She can handle it!

Silence is a courtesy, but when people saw Chi Xiao standing next to Old Lady Li, huge waves of emotion rose in their eyes.

Like a domino effect, the discussions among the crowd became uncontrollable.

"It seems that the marriage partner is already set in stone."

"Why Li He? I was the one who fell in love with him first!"

"Keep your voice down, it's rude."

"Look at the twisted jade bracelet on her hand! It's a Li family heirloom! Old Madam Li always wears it close to her body and never takes it off. I'm really pissed off!"

"It turns out jealousy is as simple as breathing. I don't want to breathe anymore. I want to die."

"She didn't have to do anything to earn the approval of three generations of the Li family. I'm going to make a scene! I really am going to make a scene!"

"I'm like the pathetic second female lead whose luck was snatched away by the heroine. I can only watch my beloved man being snatched away and cry bitterly! No! I need a super-powerful face-slapping system to rely on! Where's my brother Tongzi!? Show up and stab me to death!"

"How despicable! He easily gets everything others want."

The whispering sounds hit Chi Xiao like spit.

She smiled brightly, pretending to raise her hand and touch her earlobe casually, her lips moving up and down, and between opening and closing, it was as if she could hear her voice:

Life is easy.
