Chapter 406: Prove Yourself

After saying this, Fu Yuanxiu coughed twice. He held up his handkerchief and covered his mouth. His slender figure was overly skinny, and his pale face seemed a little sickly.

After he was done coughing, he walked to the sofa and sat down. "We meet again."

Just as he was about to wait for Xue Xi to put down her pride and lower her head, Gu Peng: "?"

He looked at Fu Yuanxiu in shock.

Fu Yuanxiu was the son of Recluse. He did not belong to the wealthy circle, but he had a high status among them.

It was also because he grew up with Fu Yuanxiu that he got to know such a person. However, Gu Peng knew Fu Yuanxiu's personality very well.

This person looked refined and polite, but he was actually very cold deep down.

However, that "Sister Xi" just now was definitely from the bottom of his heart!

Gu Peng looked at Fu Yuanxiu and then at Xue Xi. He felt that his worldview had collapsed. Why did the son of Recluse call Ms. Night Li's daughter Sister Xi?

Could it be that Fu Yuanxiu, this ten-thousand-year-old single dog, has been enlightened and likes Xue Xi? After all, Xue Xi's face is indeed impeccable!

Xue Xi did not care what he was thinking. She nodded at Fu Yuanxiu and asked, "Are you still unwell?"

She remembered that when she was in Bin City, this person also looked sickly and kept coughing. Why was he still the same after she'd not seen him for more than half a year?

Fu Yuanxiu smiled. "Old habits."

After saying that, he took a sip of water and calmed down. Then, he said, "By the way, my father heard that your family has come to the capital and wants to entertain you. When can you come and visit?"

Gu Peng, who had just sat beside Fu Yuanxiu: "?"

He felt that he had been slapped in the face again!

If Fu Yuanxiu simply liked Xue Xi and was being so polite to her because of it, then there was no need for Fu Yuanxiu to say that Recluse wanted her to visit.

So who exactly is this Xue Xi?

Gu Peng instantly sat up straight, and his last bit of contempt for Xue Xi disappeared.

Xue Xi thought about it and said, "Let me ask my mother."

Fu Yuanxiu nodded. "Okay."

...

On the other side.

Li Zixia greeted Gu Yunqing, who nodded and said casually, "Happy birthday."

Li Zixia: "..."

The Gu family's status was very high. For a small birthday banquet like hers, Gu Yunqing did not need to come. The Li family was being polite by sending an invitation to their family, but they did not expect Gu Yunqing to come.

She smiled. "It's my honor that Ms. Gu can come. Why don't you go upstairs to rest?"

Gu Yunqing had a good upbringing and was filled with the aura of a socialite. When she smiled, her smile was kind and beautiful, but it also exuded a sense of superiority.

She nodded gracefully at Li Zixia, then reached out to pick up her dress and walked to the side. "No need. Ms. Li is busy. I'll just walk around."

After saying this, she ignored the people surrounding her who were trying to curry favor with her. She looked around and saw something. Her eyes lit up as she walked toward the area where Xue Xi was resting.
