Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 132 Li Xi beats someone up, Gu Huaizhou guards the door

Xie Jiaoyue's sharp, miserable screams pierced through the study and reached the ears of the three men outside.

Gu Han didn't even flinch.

Gu Huaizhou gazed calmly at the lake view ahead, without making a comment.

Chu Xu touched his nose and asked Gu Huaizhou considerately, "Boss, do you need me to go in and help Miss Li?"

"Need not."

Chu Xu then fell silent.

Inside the room, Xie Jiaoyue's shrill scream rang out again: "Li Xi! You've gone mad!"

Xie Jiaoyue pushed Li Xi away, got up and staggered toward the study door, but Li Xi grabbed her coat and dragged her back.

Pressing Xie Jiaoyue down, Li Xi once again raised the inkstone and smashed it against Xie Jiaoyue's leg.

The man was in excruciating pain in his thighbone. Xie Jiaoyue cried and begged for mercy, "Stop hitting me!"

"Li Xi, stop hitting him."

Xie Jiaoyue felt like her legs were going to be crippled.

But Li Xi not only did not stop his violence, but instead increased the force in his hands.

"Woooo..."

Xie Jiaoyue cried and dodged, still managing to cry out for help to those outside: "Gu Huaizhou! Butler Gu, help me!"

Even though there was only a wall separating them, the three people outside the door all became deaf.

Realizing that Gu Huaizhou was condoning Li Xi's violence against her, Xie Jiaoyue felt utterly hopeless.

Li Xi hit someone, Gu Huaizhou opened the door—they're such a despicable couple!

"...Li Xi, why?"

"Why did you hit me?"

Having done so many wrong things, Xie Jiaoyue wasn't sure what Li Xi was angry about. She asked blankly, "Because I instigated Jiang Qingkong to drug you? Or because I accused you of being lazy and materialistic?"

Seeing that Li Xi's eyes remained fierce and his violence showed no sign of slowing down, Xie Jiaoyue racked her brains for a moment and then asked, "Why is that?"

"You hate me for ruining your relationship with my brother?"

"still..."

"You knew my dad had installed a camera in the bathroom to secretly film you, but you didn't stand up for you?"

So she knew everything.

Li Xi finally stopped, clutching the inkstone in her hand, her eyes bloodshot, unable to hide her hatred. "Do you still remember the sandwich?"

what?

Xie Jiaoyue looked blank. "What's a sandwich?"

Did she poison the sandwiches Li Xi ate before?

It's a cat.

"cat?"

"What cat?" She didn't remember Li Xi ever owning a cat.

Seeing Xie Jiaoyue's blank expression, completely forgetting the existence of the sandwich, Li Xi's hatred surged, and he subconsciously gripped the inkstone even tighter.

Do you remember that tabby cat?

Li Xi reminded Xie Jiaoyue: "It's that tabby cat that you instructed Zhang Ma to throw into the market, where it was repeatedly run over by cars and died."

Finally, Xie Jiaoyue remembered, "You mean that dirty stray cat?"

Sandwich was originally a stray cat that Li Chang'an took in and kept in his rented apartment.

After Li Chang'an passed away, Li Xi was also sent back to the orphanage in his hometown. The cat lost its owner and home and returned to a life of wandering.

Later, Li Xi replaced Xie Jiaoyue to participate in the horror game. After some time, she was adopted by Xie Mingzong and his wife and brought back to live with the Xie family.

That night, the tabby cat that had been missing for a long time suddenly reappeared.

It turns out that Sandwich had been lingering around the rented house and Xie's house, just to wait for Li Xi and Li Chang'an.

So as soon as it saw Li Xi, it came back.

At that time, Li Xi was mentally unstable and had lost her only close relative. When she suddenly saw the sandwich she had lost and found again, she was overjoyed as if she had found her family.

However, she only had time to spend one night with the sandwich; the next day, the sandwich was gone.

"You're the one who made Zhang Ma throw my sandwiches into the market, causing them to get run over by cars at the morning market, time and time again..."

"When I found it, it was already dead, a bloody mess, its legs crushed, leaving only its cat skin..."

Staring at Xie Jiaoyue's flesh-colored stockings stained with blood, Li Xi's mind conjured up the image of Sandwich's gruesome death.

Li Xi couldn't help but burst into tears, "Xie Jiaoyue, you're clearly not allergic to cat fur, and you even have three Ragdoll cats in your apartment."

"Why can't you tolerate my sandwich!"

After figuring out why Li Xi hit her, Xie Jiaoyue felt absurd, "You actually hit me for a cat?"

"That's nothing but a beast!"

"That beast was filthy, covered in germs. I just told Zhang Ma to throw it away, how could I have known it would be so unlucky..."

Snapped!

Li Xi slapped Xie Jiaoyue so hard that half of her face swelled up.

Xie Jiaoyue was beaten into submission and immediately shut her mouth.

"Xie Jiaoyue, you're a complete scumbag!"

Li Xi shook her aching hand, left Xie Jiaoyue behind, and walked out of the study. She said to Gu Huaizhou, "Gu Huaizhou, send her away."

After a pause, Li Xi continued, "Prison is a place for people to reform themselves. Xie Jiaoyue is not a human being, so she shouldn't waste resources in prison."

Gu Huaizhou humbly asked, "Then where do you think would be a better place to send her?"

“South Pacific fishing grounds? South African mines? North African hunting grounds?” Li Xi offered several options.

With each location she mentioned, Chu Xu's gaze towards her grew more respectful.

As expected of the woman the boss has his eye on, she's ruthless.

Gu Huaizhou asked Li Xi, "What do you think about giving her to Zeng Yue's brother?"

Li Xi was taken aback.

She quickly guessed Gu Huaizhou's intention.

Zeng Yue was raped and murdered by Xie Jiaoyue, and eventually committed suicide due to depression.

After her death, Xie Jiaoyue hypocritically helped her hold a funeral and went to pay her respects every year.

Zeng Yue's brother used to be so grateful to Xie Jiaoyue, but now that he knows the truth, he hates her just as much.

Gu Huaizhou wouldn't mention this person without a reason. After thinking for a moment, Li Xi said, "Zeng Yue's brother has come looking for us?"

Chu Xu quickly told Li Xi, "The security department detected the figure of a middle-aged man ten minutes ago. This man is Zeng Yue's brother, Zeng An, a retired naval special forces soldier."

After a pause, Chu Xu added, "Zeng An was carrying a sharp weapon."

The fact that the other party was able to find Gu Jialai before the police shows that he is indeed a smart and decisive man.

He came with a sharp weapon, clearly not intending to let Xie Jiaoyue go.

Without hesitation, Li Xi said, "Miss Xie is a fugitive suspect. It would be better to send her out as soon as possible to avoid tarnishing the Gu family's reputation."

"Gu Huaizhou, what do you think?"

Gu Huaizhou smiled indulgently at Li Xi and instructed Chu Xu, "Send Miss Xie away from the manor."

Chu Xu then led his men to send Xie Jiaoyue away.

Before being shoved into the car, Xie Jiaoyue was still yelling and cursing at Li Xi: "Li Xi! You'll die a horrible death!"

"You're destined to be a jinx!"

"First, you caused the death of your grandmother, then your father, Li Chang'an. Our Xie family adopted you, and we've all suffered because of it!"

"Gu Huaizhou, Li Xi is a jinx; getting close to her will bring you misfortune!"

"you..."

Chu Xu kicked Xie Jiaoyue into the car and slammed the door shut, instantly bringing peace to the world.

Even after the car had driven far away, the phrase "a cursed lone star" still echoed in Li Xi's ears.

She found it quite funny.

"Did you hear that? I'm destined to be a lone star, cursed by heaven." Li Xi asked Gu Huaizhou with a smile, "Aren't you going to stay away?"

Gu Huaizhou affectionately tapped her forehead and led her into the adjacent restroom.

Li Xi had just thrown an inkstone at Xie Jiaoyue, and his fingers were covered in dried black ink.

Gu Huaizhou squeezed out some hand sanitizer and carefully washed Li Xi's fingers clean.

He didn't speak, so Li Xi didn't speak either.

After about a minute, Gu Huaizhou said, "You are destined to be a lone star, while I am destined to bring misfortune to my father, mother, and elder brother."

"Aren't they quite a good match?"

Surprisingly, Li Xi was comforted.

"Nonsense! It was a psychopathic killer who killed them. What does it have to do with you? The fact that you're alive means you're destined for great wealth and honor."

Don't listen to those people's nonsense.

Li Xi disliked hearing Gu Huaizhou belittle him.

Similarly, Gu Huaizhou couldn't stand Li Xi belittling herself. "Xi Xi, your grandmother died of illness, and your father died in a car accident. It has nothing to do with you."

Don't listen to what Xie Jiaoyue just said.

“Of course I don’t believe it,” Li Xi said without hesitation. “If I were truly destined to be a jinx, I would have killed the entire Xie family long ago.”

Seeing that Li Xi was not affected by Xie Jiaoyue's words, Gu Huaizhou was relieved.

"Let's go to the banquet hall."

"it is good."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall had already become lively.

Xue Ni, wearing a peach-pink strapless dress, stood among a group of prominent figures, feeling the discomfort of a lamb wandering into a wolf's den.

She simply grabbed a glass of wine and hid in a corner to surf the internet.

The Xie Jiaoyue incident has had a very negative impact, sparking a nationwide boycott of Xie Jiaoyue and Zhaixing Entertainment.

Netizens say that Xie Jiaoyue is the little princess of Zhaixing Entertainment, and that she was able to do these evil things because Zhaixing Entertainment was backing her up.

Zhaixing Entertainment is a company owned by the Xie family.

The Xie family has recently been plagued by a series of troubles and scandals.

First, there was Zhang Xiang's affair with Qin Xiu that led to an abortion; then Xie Mingzong was arrested and imprisoned for bullying a young girl; and now Xie Jiaoyue's case has surfaced.

If Zhaixing Entertainment can still stand strong in China, then all netizens across the country are accomplices.

As a result, within just one day, Zhaixing Entertainment's market value plummeted and its reputation became terrible.

Right now, the entrance to Zhaixing Entertainment is packed with people.

Throwing excrement, pelting eggs, verbal abuse...

There is absolutely no chance of reversing the image of Zhaixing Entertainment.

Xue Ni was engrossed in eating melon seeds, and time flew by.

As it approached nine o'clock, Xue Ni heard the emcee announce that Mr. Gu Huaizhou would be invited to speak on stage, and she subconsciously looked up towards the high platform.

Not only was she looking over there, but Zhou Tiexiong and his son, as well as all the distinguished guests present, subconsciously looked towards the high platform.

The stage lights remained bright, and there was no messy light show.

All eyes were focused on the spiral staircase platform on the second floor.

A young man dressed in a black bespoke suit stood on the platform.

He sported a slightly parted, side-swept hairstyle, and his strikingly beautiful features gave him an androgynous look. Every guest present was amazed by his handsome appearance.

But when the other party lowered his eyes and looked down at them with cold eyes, all the guests who met his gaze felt a chill run down their spines.

No one dared to look directly into those menacing black eyes.

With steady steps, Gu Huaizhou walked down the spiral staircase, strode onto the high platform, and stood beside Gu Wentao.

The butler, Du Yusheng, stood behind Gu Wentao, holding a tray with a uniquely designed badge on it.

The emblem is a combination of a black axe and a silver machete, which is the family crest symbolizing the status of the Gu family's leader.

The Gu family has a glorious history of more than two hundred years. The ancestor who first rose to prominence was a general who guarded the border.

The black axe was the ancestor's signature weapon, while the silver cleaver was the general's wife's weapon.

In the last century, when foreign enemies attempted to invade Dongzhou, Gu Huaizhou's great-grandfather led all the young men and women of the clan, armed with axes and beheading weapons, to defend the front line of Xiangyang Ancient City.

Previously, this family crest was always worn by Gu Wentao.

Recently, witnessed by representatives and distinguished guests from all walks of life in the eighteen cities of Dongzhou, the elderly lion personally placed it on Gu Huaizhou's chest.

From this moment on, Gu Huaizhou officially became the head of the Gu family and the chairman of the Gu Group.

The audience erupted in applause. On stage, an old man and a young man gazed at each other silently, no one knowing what they were thinking.

Perhaps they were remembering three deceased loved ones, or perhaps they were looking forward to an infinitely possible future.

This scene was captured by invited reporters and quickly appeared on the homepage of the financial magazine's official website.

Li Xi held a glass of wine, gazing intently at Gu Huaizhou, who was shining brightly on the high platform.

"Miss Li."

Ying Chengfeng led Ying Li over. He first politely clinked glasses with Li Xi, then explained his purpose with a helpless tone: "Lili saw you just now and insisted on bringing me here to see you."

After a slight pause, Ying Chengfeng affectionately tapped Ying Li's cheek and smiled, "My little lili likes you very much."

Ying Li looked as beautiful as a princess today, wearing an ice-blue princess dress and her chestnut hair styled in a bun.

She smiled and raised her juice glass, wanting to clink glasses with Li Xi.

Li Xi then bent down and clinked glasses with her, "To our beautiful and lovely little princess, Lili."

The raccoon immediately beamed with joy.

She stood beside Li Xi consciously, then suddenly pointed at Gu Huaizhou on the stage, her eyes sparkling.

Li Xi didn't know what Ying Li was trying to say, so she asked Ying Chengfeng, "Dr. Ying, what does Lili want to say?"

"Lili means that Brother Huaizhou looks very handsome today."

Sure enough, girls are born with an eye for good-looking guys.

Li Xi put her right hand on Ying Li's shoulder and said with a sigh, "That guy was pretty handsome tonight, but your dad isn't bad-looking either."

Ying Li glanced at Ying Chengfeng, then curled her lip, her disdain written all over her face.

Ying Chengfeng was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and tried to regain his dignity. "Even the raccoon is tired of looking at my face every day."

The raccoon pouted again.

She pulled her phone from her evening bag, quickly typed a message, and handed it to Li Xi: "My dad is shameless."

"Hahaha!" Li Xi chuckled, amused by the father and daughter.

Ying Chengfeng had obviously seen the text message, and he showed a rare moment of embarrassment.

Looking at the dazzling young man on the stage, Ying Chengfeng suddenly turned to Li Xi and said, "Mr. Gu's condition has improved a lot recently."

"It seems that compared to my psychotherapy, Miss Li is the best antidote without any side effects."

Li Xi blushed slightly, rubbed her burning earlobes, and told Ying Chengfeng, "He seems to be showing signs of regaining his memory recently."

"Dr. Ying, if Huaizhou really regains all his memories, will he lose control again?"
