Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 29 A Unique Favor: Only Li Xi Has the Bracelet

When Xie Xingyun met Li Xi's calm gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

Li Xi needs herself!

Xie Xingyun subconsciously took a step forward, about to speak up to prove Li Xi's innocence, when his left hand was suddenly grabbed by Jiang Qingkong.

Jiang Qingkong quickly fiddled with the wedding ring on Xie Xingyun's ring finger.

"Xingyun."

Jiang Qingkong's voice was gentle, yet full of warning, "You are my husband, and you promised my parents that you would never have anything to do with Li Xi again."

Xie Xingyun frowned. "We can't just sit idly by and watch Li Xi be framed."

But Jiang Qingkong said again, "Get this straight, this is the Gu family home! Li Xi caused trouble at Old Master Gu's birthday party, are you trying to cause trouble for the Xie family and your sister?"

"Brother." Xie Jiaoyue also called out softly to her brother, standing behind Xie Xingyun to remind him, "Grandpa Gu hates it most when someone tries to play tricks on him right under his nose."

Thinking about his sister's relationship with Gu Huaizhou, Xie Xingyun also hesitated.

He could disregard Jiang Qingkong's feelings, but he couldn't upset his sister.

If I were to affect Xie Jiaoyue and Gu Huaizhou's marriage because of myself, then the situation would become very serious.

Seeing Xie Xingyun's hesitant reaction, Li Xi scoffed lightly.

Li Xi suddenly looked down at the walkie-talkie on her wrist and said politely, "Butler Zhou, I need to trouble you to come over and clear up this misunderstanding for me."

The guests were all a bit confused by what they saw.

What is Li Xi wearing on her hand?

President Chang immediately recognized Li Xi's bracelet as a Gu family employee bracelet, because it was designed by his wife!

This product still needs further testing and is expected to be available for sale this winter.

Five months ago, the Gu family ordered a batch of walkie-talkie wristbands from their company, each wristband bearing the Gu family crest.

The bracelet on Li Xi's wrist bears the Gu family crest.

Mr. Chang felt a little flustered.

Didn't President Jiang's daughter say that this woman is just an orphan who was recently kicked out of the Xie family?

But why is she wearing a bracelet that's used by Gujia's internal employees?

Noticing the guests' confusion, Li Xi observed carefully and discovered that none of the other guests were wearing Gujia bracelets.

Did Butler Zhou only give the bracelet to himself?

Li Xi took the initiative to explain the origin of the bracelet to them, "This is a walkie-talkie from the Gu family, which allows for real-time communication."

She looked up at President Chang and gave him a mysterious smile. "President Chang, as soon as you got close to me, I turned on the intercom function on my bracelet."

"The guests couldn't hear our conversation, but the Gu family's butler overheard the whole thing."

"Even if I told you the truth, no one would believe me. Let's wait patiently and trust that the Gu family's housekeeper will prove my innocence."

This reversal was completely unexpected.

Jiang Qingkong was taken aback and turned to Xie Jiaoyue beside her, whispering, "Jiaoyue, is that thing on Li Xi's hand really the Gu family's walkie-talkie?"

"...yes."

It really is.

A few days ago, when Butler Gu Han went to the Xie family to celebrate Xie Jiaoyue's birthday, she noticed that Butler Gu was wearing a black bracelet on his wrist.

Gu Han's bracelet was the same style as the one on Li Xi's wrist, but a different color; Li Xi's was dark red.

How could Li Xi have this?

the other side.

As soon as the conversation between Li Xi and President Chang was transmitted through the bracelet, Butler Zhou headed towards the banquet hall.

She had just arrived at the banquet building when she ran into Butler Du and the old man, who were getting out of their car.

Butler Zhou paused slightly, turned to Gu Wentao, and called out, "Old sir, you've arrived."

Gu Wentao asked casually, "Why are you walking so fast? What's the rush?"

Butler Zhou dared not conceal anything and quickly explained Li Xi's situation to Gu Wentao and Butler Du.

After listening, Gu Wentao grasped the key point, but missed the mark. "You mean, the Miss Li that Huaizhou arranged for you to receive?"

"In case something happens to her, they specifically instructed you to leave the Gu family employee bracelet with her?"

“Um…” Zhou Guanxian was also unsure. Fearing misunderstanding, she truthfully said, “I don’t know who specifically gave the instructions, but I did receive instructions from Butler Gu Han.”

Gu Wentao's eyes darted around, and he exchanged a glance with Du Yusheng. They both felt that something was amiss.

Gu Han, that old guy, is just Gu Huaizhou's mouthpiece.

Without Gu Huaizhou's arrangement, how could Gu Han have taken it upon himself to do these petty things?

It seems this Miss Li is no ordinary person.

"Let's go take a look." Gu Wentao wanted to see just who this Miss Li was, that she could receive such special treatment from his grandson.

"Mr. Gu has arrived!"

As soon as Gu Wentao arrived, the guests who had been gathered around President Chang to watch the show dispersed and headed towards the banquet hall entrance.

They gathered together, then automatically parted to make it easier for the birthday celebrant to move around.

The guests greeted Gu Wentao with beaming smiles.

"Grandpa, I wish you good health and a long life!"

"Grandpa, it's been years since we last met, but you're still as spry as ever, which makes us younger folks envious!"

"Old Gu..."

This is the kind of spectacle you get when a movie star walks the red carpet.

With his hands behind his back, Gu Wentao greeted the guests with a smile and waved to old friends he recognized.

Arriving at the center of the banquet hall, Gu Wentao stopped, looked up, and gazed with a pair of smiling, Buddha-like eyes toward the buffet area.

His gaze lingered on a middle-aged man in a brown suit. "Chang Qing, right?"

Being called out by Mr. Gu, President Chang was flattered and quickly squeezed through the crowd to stand in front of Gu Wentao.

"Old Gu, I didn't expect you to still remember me."

In front of Gu Wentao, President Chang was as obedient as a grandson.

“Of course I remember you.” Gu Wentao pointed to Du Yusheng behind him and said, “Yusheng has praised you to me several times, saying that the security bracelets produced by your company are very convenient to use.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yusheng quickly raised his wrist, revealing a black bracelet. "That's right, this bracelet is lightweight and convenient. Unlike walkie-talkies and headsets, it doesn't take up much space and it's not easy to fall off."

General Manager Chang was secretly delighted.

With Gu Wentao praising him in public, it will be much easier for him to attract investment later on.

"It is an honor for Huanzhou Technology to have received Mr. Gu's appreciation. Our products come with a lifetime warranty, and any malfunctions during later use can be repaired free of charge!"

After saying this, General Manager Chang smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the guests present, then proceeded to promote Huanzhou Technology on the spot, saying, "When you go back, please also promote Huanzhou Technology."

The guests politely echoed their agreement a few times.

“This stuff is really good.” As soon as Old Master Gu spoke, the banquet hall quickly returned to silence.

Mr. Chang noticed that Mr. Gu suddenly had a bracelet in his hand, a dark red one.

Gu Wentao fiddled with the bracelet and praised it with a smile: "This thing is very thoughtfully designed. It can not only locate calls, but also automatically record and archive them."

"You can use voice to activate its smart functions anytime, anywhere." As he spoke, Gu Wentao said to the bracelet, "Play the previous call archive."

A mechanical female voice said, "Rewinding."

"Rollback complete."

The next second, Chang Zong's ambiguous, deep voice came from the bracelet—

"May I ask your surname, Miss?"

The young woman's voice said, "My surname is Xiang."

Mr. Chang: "That's a rather unusual surname. My surname is Chang, and I'm the CEO of Huanzhou Technology. What's Miss Xiang's name?"

Li Xi: "Dream on."

Gu Wentao pursed his lips, thinking to himself: She's a quick-witted little girl. So Huaizhou likes this kind of troublemaker.
