Sending her away is of course impossible. After all, she is the Xie family's true daughter, and the old man insisted on bringing her back. How could they possibly send her away?

But that didn't stop Xie Shiyou from scaring her.

A young girl from the countryside, who has never seen the world, and who has just experienced a plane crash, must be feeling very anxious.

A little scare at this point will make her behave and prevent her from saying anything inappropriate when she gets back.

He glanced at Xie Li with disdain. He wouldn't have dared to do this to anyone else, but Xie Li was just a good-for-nothing, and he could do whatever he wanted to him.

Xie Li's face was expressionless, and it was unclear whether he had listened or not. He simply took out a white bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it.

Xie Shiyou's expression changed slightly, and his gaze fell on the white porcelain bottle: "What are you eating?"

The bottle is smooth and has no text on it, making it look like a counterfeit or substandard product.

Xie Li said, "The medicine." There was really nothing to hide; as soon as the medicine was taken out, its rich aroma filled the air.

Xie Shiyou snatched it away, his face grim, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Xie Li was somewhat surprised that he would ask this question, and he hesitated for a moment before replying vaguely, "...I took it from home."

Xie Shiyou angrily snatched the medicine bottle away, "Can you just take medicine like that?"

"You even took it from home! Your adoptive father is a fake medicine seller, don't you understand what fake medicine is?! Are you out of your mind to eat fake medicine?!"

Ironically, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, was actually adopted by a man who sold counterfeit medicine.

Xie Li was startled by his aggressive demeanor, but she felt she should still humbly ask, "What do you mean by 'Watt'?"

Xie Shiyou: "..."

Damn it, what an uncultured country bumpkin! She can't even understand what they're saying!

Xie Li blinked. She was sincere, but that didn't stop her from taking advantage of Xie Shiyou's momentary daze to retrieve the porcelain bottle.

Xie Shiyou hadn't expected Xie Li to be so bold. But how did the porcelain bottle end up back in Xie Li's hand after he had already thrown it?

Forget it, he couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Anyway, once they got to the Xie family, someone would take care of her!

——

When the car arrived at the Xie family villa, people were talking inside.

A shrill voice was chattering.

"It's funny, the utterly awful country bumpkin we met today actually stood up and said she could fly a plane when the plane crashed!"

"He's completely out of his mind! He doesn't even bother to think before he lies!"

"Belle was truly calm under pressure. Even in that situation, she actively treated the captain, and after getting off the plane, she left quietly without giving any media interviews..."

Xie Shiyou felt utterly ashamed; he felt ashamed for Xie Li.

Xie Li seemed oblivious, only looking up at the magnificent villa in front of him.

The Xie family's old residence stands in Banshanwan, a long-established villa district in Linjiang City, where every brick and tile exudes immense wealth.

Xie Li was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice the villa gate suddenly open, and a noblewoman exuding elegance hurriedly walked out.

"Butler, please take good care of Miss Biao. I have other matters to attend to..."

The two bumped into each other head-on, almost collided head-on.

Xie Li, carrying the snakeskin bag in one hand, quickly helped the lady up with the other to prevent her from falling.

"Who do you think you are? You think you can afford to pay for offending Madam?" A shrill voice rang in my ears.

"Sister-in-law Wan!" Madam Xie called out softly as she noticed Xie Shiyou standing to the side.

She pursed her lips, unsure of what to feel, then looked up and paused slightly.

The child stood there, with clear eyes, showing none of the unease or aggrieved behavior one might expect.

Instead, his eyes held a mixture of curiosity and unfamiliarity.
