"Ms. Shu, why are you here?"

Shu Xi looked at the minister indifferently, not recognizing him.

But it didn't matter that she didn't recognize him, she knew he was the minister just by looking at his clothes.

She nodded lightly.

"The top floor..."

Shu Xi interrupted him before he finished speaking. She said, "It's just a drink with a few strangers. There's no need to go to such trouble."

The minister immediately understood what Shu Xi meant, and he said, "Okay, then take your time. If you have anything else, tell us later."

Old Mrs. Li's eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across them.

She slammed the table, making a loud noise. Everyone nearby looked at her, but she showed no sign of calming down.

"Shuxi, what do you mean? Didn't you ask us to come out? Is this your attitude?"

Shu Xi shrugged and said nothing.

Old Lady Li scolded again: "If you are like this, I will never let you return to the Li family!"

Shu Xi was amused by Old Lady Li. She said, "When did I ever say I wanted to go back to the Li family?"

"Then what do you mean?" Old Mrs. Li's eyes darkened. She looked at Shu Xi with a look full of scrutiny.

I have to say that Shu Xi is indeed pretty, and Li Ze is not bad looking either, but to be able to give birth to such a pretty daughter, it seems that their mother must have been pretty as well.

Yes, if she wasn't good-looking, how could she have charmed Li Ze so much that he even gave up on arranged marriage and still hasn't married?

Shu Xi said: "I asked you to come here today to explain things to you so that you won't get mad at me and be annoying all day long."

Crazy?!

Old Mrs. Li's eyes darkened even more, and her face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Liu Ming secretly worried for Shu Xi. It must be said that Shu Xi was really bold. Did she know that the consequences of angering Old Lady Li would be very serious?

Old Mrs. Li picked up the tea on the table and poured it towards Shu Xi.

Shu Xi quickly picked up the bone plate beside her to block it, and the water seemed to turn and splashed towards Li Shanshan.

Li Shanshan's carefully put on makeup early in the morning was ruined. The key point is that her clothes were all wet and she looked very miserable now!

Shu Xi raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh, it's raining?"

"you!"

Li Shanshan was furious, but she didn't know who to vent her anger on.

The water was spilled by Old Mrs. Li.

Old Mrs. Li was also stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She said, "Shanshan, let's go."

Li Shanshan said to Mrs. Li: "Grandma, my sister didn't do it on purpose. We finally got to have morning tea with her. It's a rare opportunity.

Otherwise, I'll just go change my clothes."

Old Lady Li said, "No need. She has already done this, and you are still thinking about her. It's really embarrassing for you."

She paused and said, "Li Ze, if you want to take this beast home, you have to step over my dead body."

Shu Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I can go to the Li family at will without your consent. It just depends on whether I am willing or not."

Mrs. Li was immediately furious. She was about to lose her temper when the restaurant manager of the Oriental Marriott came over and said to her, "Hello, please follow me to the top floor for dinner."

Old Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t it said that the top floor was only available to users with diamond cards?

Then she...

She didn't care whether the man made a mistake or not. After all, they were the ones who invited her, so even if they made a mistake, it couldn't be blamed on her.

People nearby looked at her with envy, which made her feel even more proud and she held her chin high.

Just then, an old lady not far away recognized Old Lady Li.

She said, "Mrs. Li, I didn't expect you to go to the top floor to dine."

Old Mrs. Li smiled proudly and said, "It's nothing. I go there often. If you like, how about joining us?"

Old Lady Liu looked at Old Lady Li excitedly and said, "Is this...really possible?"

Mrs. Li said, "Of course, I will be the host today and invite you to have tea."

"Thank you, thank you. I really benefited from your kindness this time. Otherwise, I really have never been to the top floor."

Hearing others complimenting her, Old Lady Li felt even more proud.

She has always liked to be in the spotlight, but the old man and Li Ze are both the kind of people who like to keep a low profile, so she has no chance to be in the spotlight.

It’s different now. So many people are looking at her with envy. She is determined to get the limelight!

She was about to take people upstairs, but the restaurant manager turned around and walked towards Shu Xi.

She frowned. She thought the restaurant manager thought Shuxi came with her, so he went to invite Shuxi as well.

She thought, if it was someone else it would be fine.

But Shuxi can't do that!

She can't let Shu Xi take advantage of her!

She said to the restaurant manager: "No need, she and I are not together."

The restaurant manager looked at Mrs. Li in surprise and asked again, "Are you sure?"

He looked at Shu Xi again tentatively, and Shu Xi nodded: "Yes, there is no need to bother."

Old Mrs. Li snorted coldly, thinking that Shu Xi still had some self-awareness.

She said to the restaurant manager, "Let's go up now."

The restaurant manager smiled politely at Mrs. Li and said, "Sorry, since you are not familiar with Miss Shushu, you cannot go to the top floor."

The smile on Mrs. Li's face disappeared, and a hint of surprise flashed in her cloudy eyes.

She looked at the restaurant manager in disbelief and said, "Are you sure? The person you want to invite to the rooftop for dinner is Shu Xi, not me?"

The restaurant manager looked at Mrs. Li awkwardly, thinking, if it wasn’t Shu Xi, who would know who she was?

If she wasn't with Shu Xi, he wouldn't have come to invite her.

The restaurant manager said, “Yes.”

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and looked at Li Ze: "Li Ze, you really put a lot of effort into it."

Li Ze felt puzzled. He didn't do anything at all: "I didn't."

"You didn't?" Old Lady Li sneered. She said, "If it weren't for you, how could a country girl like her come to a place like this and reach the top floor?"

Li Ze looked at Old Lady Li innocently and said, "Mom, not everyone can go up to the top floor just because they want to."

There are so many noble families in the capital, is there anyone who can really reach the top floor?

Old Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, and what Li Ze said seemed to make some sense.

However, she was still unwilling to believe that Shu Xi could reach the top floor by her own ability!

Just then, a waiter rushed towards Li Shanshan.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li suddenly got angry and everyone's attention was focused on her, and no one noticed Li Shanshan at all.

By the time Li Shanshan noticed who was coming, it was already a little late.
