Chapter 105: Talking Bad About the Dead
Leslie heard a few interesting things while lingering in the dining hall. The relatives gossiped among themselves while some of the older ones dared ask Calix about his choice of marrying the neglected young lady of the Li family.
"If you didn’t favor any of the blind dates, you should tell your aunt here. I have a good candidate for you."
"Why did you pick her? Isn’t she still in a coma? What if she stays like that forever?"
"If you want someone from the Li family, shouldn’t you pick their second young miss? If I’m not mistaken, her name is Gladys."
More and more questions were thrown at Calix. Leslie wanted to laugh out loud but, she didn’t want to hear him nagging at her later. Even now, he subtly glared in her direction whenever he could.
CEO Xu’s defense skills were exemplary. He successfully dodged every question about his sudden marriage but, it didn’t mean he enjoyed prolonging it.
Leslie faintly sensed that Calix was getting tired of it.
Sigh... Surrounded by the annoying and gossipmonger relatives could drain even the liveliest person.
Soon, Leslie was bored. Gerard didn’t say much during dinner too thus, she decided to step out of the dining hall. Perhaps, this problematic cannon fodder didn’t dare to stir anything because Old Madam Xu and the other elders were there.
Leslie approached Calix. While tapping on his right shoulder, she said, "I’m going out. Enjoy deflecting the rest of the questions."
