Xiao Xi had no choice but to pull Xie Yujie away.

"Xie Yujie, I've already told you, I don't want to talk to you anymore! What's up?"

Xie Yujie was used to trying to win Xiaoxi's favor, and Xiaoxi's impatience was the norm.

"Xiaoxi, my dad came to see the performance today, and my uncle came too."

"If you're coming, then come. Why are you telling me?"

"Xiaoxi, as I told you before, I'm able to be classmates with you because my uncle pays my tuition."

"And then?" Xiaoxi rolled her eyes.

“I often mention you to my uncle and dad. I told them that you always took care of me at school.”

"You childish brat, what's the point of telling them this? Okay, I'm going home with my dad and brother."

"No! My uncle came all the way from Jiang Province to see me. He said he wants to treat you to a meal to thank you."

"Oh, I remember now, your uncle works in the coal mines?"

"Yes and no, he's a coal mine owner."

At that moment, a pair of long legs came into Xiaoxi's view.

"Ye, is this your classmate? Hello, I'm the coal-mining uncle you just mentioned, Xiao Jie's uncle."

"Huh?!" Xiaoxi was stunned.

She had never seen a man with long hair who was so handsome. His hair was casually tied back, with a few strands falling naturally on either side of his smooth forehead.

His features were deep-set, cold yet charming, with eyes like stars, but the kind of stars that made people afraid to look directly at him. However, Xiaoxi was not afraid.

This young man was actually wearing a light blue linen Taoist robe, embroidered with delicate cloud patterns that were understated yet elegant, giving him a refined and unique look, and making his tall and slender figure appear even more striking.

Xiaoxi couldn't find the words to describe the charm of Uncle Xie Yujie in front of her.

Anyway, he was completely different from the pot-bellied, dark-skinned coal mine owner that Xiaoxi had imagined.

Xie Yujie's father also came. Although he was young and handsome, when he stood next to his uncle, all his brilliance was overshadowed by his uncle.

Xiaoxi, who is obsessed with looks, felt that it was a bit impolite for her to stare at someone earlier, and immediately returned to normal.

She nodded politely, "Hello, Uncle Xie."

"I'm Zhou Ye. I've heard from Xiao Jie that you've helped him a lot. I must treat Ye to a meal this time to express my gratitude!"

Although it was said as an invitation, the tone and aura left no room for argument.

"Ah, Uncle Zhou, there's no need for a meal. Xie Yujie is my deskmate. His occasional help isn't worth such a grand thank you."

When Xie Yujie saw that Xiaoxi refused to eat, he wanted to grab her hand, but he didn't dare. He could only plead with his eyes looking pitiful.

Xiaoxi: Come on, don't look at me like that. I'm still angry. I'm not going.

As a result, Xiaoxi's father came over.

Zhou Ye nodded to Ye Yuan as a greeting.

Dad patted Xiaoxi and smiled, "Xiaoxi, your classmate's uncle is treating you to a meal, why don't you go?"

Xiaoxi looked at her father in surprise: "Dad, really? Where's your basic vigilance as a soldier? Don't you know that little girls shouldn't eat with strangers?"

Ye Yuan: It's just a meal, you're overthinking it.

Finally, Ye Yuan politely nodded to Zhou Ye and left, as did his three older brothers.

Xiaoxi froze on the spot.

And so, Xiaoxi was pulled away by Xie Yujie and got into Zhou Ye's Maybach to have dinner.

They arrived at Shanghai's most luxurious rooftop restaurant.

These things are commonplace for Xiaoxi now, but the main problem is that she doesn't know the people she eats with, which makes her feel uncomfortable.
