A few old men also put on airs and gave way to each other before they were arranged to take their seats at the head of the table.

“Boys are so responsible. I remember that Xi Yan has been very smart since she was young, right?”

“Boys develop relatively late. In the past, they only cared about playing. Xi Yan only concentrated on studying when she was in her third year of high school. She directly entered a key university. You can see how smart she is.”

“Xi Yan is like Jing Xing. Jing Xing used to be very good at studying too. He was even a graduate student who went abroad.”

“Speaking of which, it’s all because our XI family’s genes are good. Jing Xing’s genes are good, hahaha.”

This was also the first time that this group of elders’topic revolved around Xi Yan. All sorts of Nice words were piled up on Xi Yan like it was free.

Everyone smiled kindly and amiably. They were kind and amiable. From their words, they had high hopes for Xi Yan.

Xi Yan seemed a little shy. “Huh? I don’t think so. My dad always thinks I’m stupid, but he thinks highly of my cousin. He’s much smarter than me.”

XI jingxing quickly said, “Dad is deeply in love, but in the end, who doesn’t think their child is good?”

Li Meiyun was very upset. She didn’t want to come, but Xi Jingren insisted on coming. She snorted when she heard that.

“I finally understand. It turns out that the importance jingxing placed on Yaohua back then was all fake? Of course, a nephew can’t compare to a son. Yaohua is Xi Yan’s Whetstone, right?”

Yan Xi didn’t forgive them for the burglary last time. They couldn’t even come to their house to plead for mercy. Xi jingxing even threw a tantrum. Xi Yaohua was sentenced, and the relationship between the two families had completely soured.

Li Meiyun had a big opinion of XI jingxing. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

XI jingxing said, “Sister-in-law, you can’t say that. I value my son and nephew, but Yaohua’s character isn’t good. You Can’t blame anyone else.”

“Didn’t you say that you don’t need to care about your own family? Chen Xiangxiang, you can protect her again and again. Why Don’t you care about Yaohua?”

XI jingxing could not help but raise his voice. “Have I not protected yaohua enough? I’ll forget about all the mistakes he’s made in the company. Attacking Yan Yan has crossed my bottom line.”

“Enough!”Xi Jingren pulled Li Meiyun forcefully. If he continued, he would be pestering her.

The others were also gossiping and criticizing Li Meiyun for being insensible.

“Xi Yan is the next heir to the Xi family. Yaohua is too quick-witted and overthinking things.”

“Why didn’t you persuade him? Be careful when you make friends. There are no good people in the Chen family.”

“We’ve learned our lesson this time. Let’s go inside and make a fresh start.”

Before they came, everyone had already discussed it. Since XI Yan was so considerate and treated everyone to a meal, they were naturally willing to defend Xi Yan.

In truth, they still had to wake up early. After XI Empire went bankrupt, these people had lost a lot of money and their lives were not as comfortable as before.

Xi Yan was not only successful now, but he also had the Yan family backing him. Yan Xi’s younger sister was so capable… these people naturally cared about him.

Coincidentally, Xi Yan had also sent out an invitation to hold a family banquet. Everyone understood and understood Xi Yan’s meaning.

The Yan family valued Xi Yan even more. After all, Xi Yan’s surname was still xi, so of course, they felt that the Xi family was more important. They wanted to bring the XI family back to the top.

Everyone was very excited. This was great. They finally didn’t have to live a hard life anymore!

Xi Yan didn’t care what these people said. Instead, he stretched his neck and looked at the door.

XI jingxing asked gently, “What’s wrong? Are You Hungry? Daddy will help you urge the waiter to serve the dishes.”

He got up and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure quickly bounce away and turn around to leave.

“Xiangxiang!”Xi Yan walked out and called out hurriedly.

Chen Xiangxiang hesitated for a moment and turned around. “Brother… Uncle XI.”

“Why are you here?”Xi jingxing stared at Chen Xiangxiang with an unfriendly gaze. He was a little nervous and unconsciously raised his voice. “Who told you to come here? Is It Aunty?”

Inside the room, Xi Luorong heard the commotion and quickly walked out with her walking stick. Her expression changed slightly.

“I asked her to come. Since it’s a family banquet, Xiangxiang is also a part of the Xi family, isn’t She?”Xi Yan turned to Chen Xiangxiang. “Xiangxiang, you can go in with Aunty.”

Chen Xiangxiang went forward to hold Xi Luorong’s arm and called her grandmother obediently.

She knew that Xi Lulong probably still had a problem with her, and Li Meiyun hated her to the bone, but so what? She had to come for Xi Yan.

“System, has Xi Yan’s strategy status changed?”Chen Xiangxiang could not help but summon the system.

She had actually been here for a while, but she had been standing at the door and did not go in. Naturally, she heard the conversation inside and understood Xi Yan’s plan.

This was great. Xi Yan must not have been able to stand Yan Xi’s meddling and being constantly suppressed, which was why she wanted to help the XI family.

Back then, she had not put in much effort to guide Xi Yan, and the points she had received were also quite considerable. If Xi Yan’s favorability points could be increased, it would also solve her current predicament.

The popular system: “It’s still in the unconquerable state.”

Chen Xiangxiang: “Impossible! You must have seen wrongly! He took the initiative to express his goodwill to me. Just now, he even spoke up for me and acknowledged me as a member of the XI family. His favorability points are definitely higher than XI Jingxing’s!”

Even XI jingxing still had 55% of his favorability points, so how could Xi Yan not have it? It must be higher than that.

The popular system:”… targets that fail in conquering strategies are usually very difficult to conquer again. Host, it’s best if you don’t show off.”

Chen Xiangxiang frowned and didn’t continue. She suspected that the system was either deliberately hiding or malfunctioning.

However, no matter what, she wouldn’t easily give up on the opportunity to raid Xi Yan.

Especially after the other party took the initiative to invite her to sit between him and Xi Jingxing, the intention of supporting her was obvious.

Even the elders who had been dissatisfied with her earlier changed their expressions. They even started to chat with her and ask about her current situation.

Chen Xiangxiang responded appropriately. She raised her delicate and pitiful face and said with a smile, “Big Brother, you’re amazing. You managed to turn the tables in the last half semester of the third year of high school. Everyone admires you.”

The girl in front of her was full of admiration, and her eyes were full of genuine admiration. Xi Yan remembered when she first came to the Xi family, she seemed to have the same look in her eyes.

It was soft and wet, and it could arouse the deepest protective desire in a person’s heart.

Xi Yan said, “It’s just so-so. Haven’t you always been better than me in terms of academic results? By the way, how were your results in your recent monthly exam?”

Chen Xiangxiang shook her head slightly. “Brother, you’re too modest. I’m not as good as you. Girls usually don’t have enough energy after they finish their exams. I. . . have been having some trouble studying recently.”

After a pause, she looked up at Xi Yan. “Brother, can you teach me?”

“No! If you don’t work hard, Don’t blame it on your gender. Why hasn’t Yan Yan ever said something like that?”Xi Yan suddenly refused with a straight face, his expression especially cold.
