Chapter 55: Slap in the face on the spot
June 16.
At the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, Linghu Villa.
Li Daochong and Qiao Ximo wore traditional wedding dresses of the Shenghua Federation and stood at the door of the villa to greet the guests.
It's just that there are very few people who come to congratulate, the Qiao family is just a small family, and they have no prestige in Tianyuan City, and a thousand invitations were sent out, and less than one-fiftieth of them were actually present.
However, the Qiao family had expected that this wedding banquet was originally for people to see, and the invitations were sent out only for publicity, not for guests.
Li Daochong saw that there were not many people, but he was happy in his heart, and hurried to end this formalistic wedding banquet, so that he could go home and sleep, the final test was approaching, except for cultivation, Li Daochong had no interest in other affairs at all.
Linghu Villa is the most popular wedding holy place in Tianyuan City, surrounded by mountains and lakes all year round, and the light mist is like entering a fairyland.
Li Daochong and Qiao Ximo stood at the door of the villa specially set up to welcome guests, just looking at their appearance, but they were also talented and beautiful, although Qiao Ximo said that she was slender and had a height of one meter seven, but Li Daochong's height was not short, one meter eight five tall, the two of them were a good match.
However, in the eyes of others, Li Daochong is just a straw bag, just a false appearance, and he can't help but feel worthless to Qiao Ximo.
Qiao's family didn't give Li Daochong a good look from morning to night.
Of course, it's not just the Qiao family, but the friends and classmates invited by Qiao Ximo also ignore Li Daochong.
Among the students who were invited to congratulate, only Ouyang Qian was polite to Li Daochong.
Qiao Ximo was quite helpless in her heart, she couldn't tell anyone else about the fake marriage, Li Daochong suffered a lot of white eyes one day today, and she was very upset in her heart.
At first, Qiao Ximo was very worried that Li Daochong would not be able to bear the outburst and cause some chaos, but at the end of the day, everything was fine, and Li Daochong remained silent.
"Li Daochong, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart what they say, I really didn't expect them to say you to your face so excessively, I will compensate you." Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Qiao Ximo plucked up her courage and whispered, she was very worried that Li Daochong would not be able to hold on, and Li Daochong's behavior at Ansino's birthday party last time made her feel palpitations.
"There's nothing to be sorry for, what they said is also true, my current situation is really not worthy of you, you don't have to worry, I have a sense of proportion and will not have conflicts with your family and friends, you can be your fake bride with peace of mind, I will pretend to be deaf and dumb to be my fake groom, let's finish the process." Li Daochong smiled faintly and said in a calm tone.
Qiao Ximo didn't expect Li Daochong to say this, and suddenly the tension in her heart eased a lot, and she even felt a little more secure.
Qiao Ximo found out in a trance that he didn't know anything about Li Daochong, since he put forward the conditions for fake marriage, he seemed to have become unnatural, although sometimes he was stupid, but more often it made Qiao Ximo unable to see through.
"Thank you for thinking so." Qiao Ximo looked at Li Daochong and said very sincerely, and then asked, "Do you really not mind if they talk about you like that?" ”
"The wall is down and everyone pushes it, this world has been like this since ancient times, and if you hear it too much, you will get used to it, and you will be immune." Li Daochong shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly.
Qiao Ximo looked at Li Daochong in surprise, he didn't expect him to be able to say such accessible words, and he looked at him from beginning to end without a trace of impurities in his eyes, as clear as a pool of blue springs, is this still the stupid young master who was abandoned by the family? She was a little confused.
"Will you hate me if I use you like this?" Qiao Ximo asked again.
"No, it won't." Li Daochong is very simple.
"So sure?" Qiao Ximo asked in disbelief.
"Of course, because I don't want the Li family to return the dowry, our purpose is the same, and I am also using you, why should I hate you?" Li Dao rushed straight to the point.
The stunned look in Qiao Ximo's eyes added another point, with such a clear logical speaking ability, how could he think he was a fool in the first place?
"Alright, don't be cranky, someone's coming." Li Dao said in a low voice.
Qiao Ximo, who was a little distracted, came back to her senses and saw several friends get off the Lingfu car and walk towards this side, all of whom were Qiao Ximo's friends.
Situ Lan, Ouyang Qian, Liu Mei and Lu Ming came together, and all four of them were talking about Qiao Ximo and Li Daochong's marriage along the way, except for Ouyang Qian, the other three all thought that this big beauty must have taken the wrong medicine and had to marry Li Daochong.
As soon as the four of them came over, they congratulated Qiao Ximo one after another, only Ouyang Qian also congratulated Li Daochong, and the other three didn't even bother to make a show.
Situ Lan is not worth being a friend, at this time, seeing Li Daochong leaning against the door frame without the slightest welcome, his heart suddenly became angry, obviously on the day of the wedding, he was still listless, Qiao Ximo is such a big beauty to marry you, what else do you want?
"Hey, Ximo, how did you marry such a sick guy? This face is as pale as paper, is there something wrong with the body? Can't hold on after standing for a while? Don't know the number of rites? Situ Lan frowned, her voice was undisguised, and everyone present could hear it.
Situ Lan has known Qiao Ximo since she was a child, the two were almost inseparable in high school, absolute close friends, friends married to such a person, Situ Lan was naturally indignant in her heart.
Qiao Ximo heard Situ Lan say such words, she relaxed her mood just now, and suddenly mentioned her throat again, and just wanted to speak, she was interrupted by Liu Mei.
"That's it, standing like you don't stand, you live like an addict, did you hear Sister Li Daochonglan's words, don't lean against the door, be respectful, Ximo marrying you is a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life." Liu Mei next to her interjected, fueling the flames is her specialty, Situ Lan is an honor student in the super class, and Liu Mei will never let go of any opportunity to please her.
"Li Daochong, you are deaf, let you stand up." Situ Lan couldn't get used to seeing Li Daochong's disregard for Qiao Ximo, and he still looked like he was going to die on the wedding day, which can be imagined in normal times.
"I can't even stand next to the bride, just like you, if Ximo is bullied in the future, I'm afraid that you will hide faster than anyone else." Liu Mei continued to help.
As the third person in the super class, Lu Ming stood aside and didn't speak, looking at Li Daochong with a smile, but wanted to see how this rumored fool would respond to the public scolding of the two women.
Among the four people, Ouyang Qian was the only one who wanted to help Li Daochong speak, but she couldn't afford to provoke the other three, so she could only keep silent.
Li Daochong didn't expect his unintentional move, but it attracted such a vicious speech from the two women, and there was a hint of displeasure on his indifferent expression, and he was about to speak, but his lower hand was tightly held by Qiao Ximo.
Li Daochong pursed his lips and didn't speak, Qiao Ximo felt that he should come forward to speak at this time.
"Sister Lan, Meizi, ...... today"
"Tut, Qiao Ximo, I didn't think you would really marry this fool in the end, whether it's true or not, it really ruined your appearance, but if you change your mind and marry me, the dowry doesn't have to be returned, do you want to think about it." Li Xiandong shook his head and said regretfully.
Qiao Ximo was interrupted as soon as she spoke, and more than a dozen people from the Li family came like a rainbow, all of whom were young people of Li Daochong's generation.
Almost all of them are a group of children of the side lineage, only this Li Xiandong, who spoke, is the grandson of the three elders of the Li family, and he belongs to the direct line.
More than a dozen people surrounded Li Xiandong, in addition to dressing, and came to the gate of the villa with a group of younger brothers as if they were following the boss to inspect.
In this formation, everyone avoided it for fear of getting into trouble.
As soon as Liu Mei, who was still domineering just now, saw the Li family coming, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Situ Lan and Lu Ming.
Although Situ Lan and Lu Ming are not the queen of the big family, they are both students in the super class of Xuancang University, and with this identity, even the people of the four major families will not easily provoke them, of course, they are even more reluctant to provoke the Li family.
Situ Lan and Lu Ming glanced at each other, stood aside and did not speak.
Li Xiandong, who came over, didn't look at Li Daochong, a pair of eyes stared at Qiao Ximo's chest without shying away, and the group of Li family children who followed him all smiled evilly, and the people who came were not good.
"Li Xiandong, please speak with dignity, if the Qiao family who came to congratulate you welcomes you, if you are here to make trouble, then I have to call the police." Qiao Ximo said with a cold face.
Li Xiandong's face changed, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, Qiao Ximo, why did you marry that fool, everyone knows it, don't pretend to be pure in front of Lao Tzu, in order not to return the dowry, even marry a fool, are the women of your Qiao family so cheap?" ”
"...... you" Qiao Ximo was so angry that she couldn't speak, her face was red and white, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
"What am I? What's the benefit of you marrying this fool, Lao Tzu scolds you in front of him, do you think he dares to squeak? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu just touched you, and this fool definitely didn't react. Li Xiandong said and stretched out his hand to Qiao Ximo's chest.
Bang! There was a muffled sound.
Li Xiandong flew out upside down and fell more than ten meters away, almost fainting in one breath.
"You can get out." Li Daochong, who had been leaning against the door frame, said coldly.
The entrance of Linghu Villa.
For a moment, there was a deathly silence.
Situ Lan and Liu Mei looked at Li Daochong with their mouths wide open and shocked expressions, "If Ximo is bullied in the future, I'm afraid that you will hide faster than anyone else." The words that Liu Mei just said turned into a big hand and slapped her face fiercely, forcing her face to swell.
