Wang Xiangxiang felt her sore spot was hit, and she always felt that Xie Li's gaze was mocking her, which made her angrier the more she thought about it.

"Don't think the Xie and Huo families will back you up. Do you believe I can make you regret this?"

She didn't really take a maid's granddaughter seriously.

Xie Li responded with an "oh," and then said seriously, "I don't believe it."

Anyone can say hurtful things, but she has been able to calmly face others' hurtful words since she was very young, because usually those who say hurtful things to her are eventually dealt with by her fists.

Wang Xiangxiang: "..."

Wang Xiangxiang was furious, mainly because she had brought a group of girlfriends with her, and this country bumpkin was challenging her authority, making her lose face in front of her girlfriends!

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll be going now." Xie Li didn't really want to cause trouble. She had carefully read the school rules today, and fighting was obviously strictly prohibited.

She just wanted to study hard, not fight.

Wang Xiangxiang: "..."

Wang Xiangxiang didn't dare look at her sisters behind her. Her gaze swept around the school gate for a moment, then she suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Belle!"

Jiang Baili was gracefully preparing to get into the car when she heard this. She paused, and after her gaze fell on Xie Li, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Wang Xiangxiang walked over excitedly, "Belle, I've come to see you."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but complain to Jiang Baili, "Your family's maid's granddaughter, how dare she insult me!"

Jiang Baili hummed in agreement, her expression somewhat indifferent.

Wang Xiangxiang, oblivious to the situation, continued angrily, "Isn't she your servant? Can you teach her a lesson? How dare a servant be so arrogant?"

"By the way, did she get into Linjiang No. 1 High School? The Xie family is so kind, even sponsoring a village girl? Or is it because of Brother Yun Tang..."

The thought of that possibility immediately made Wang Xiangxiang's face turn pale; she was so jealous that her face almost contorted.

“No,” Jiang Baili said softly, “She wasn’t sponsored by the Xie family; she got in on her own merit.”

Wang Xiangxiang: "???"

Wang Xiangxiang looked incredulous. "No, didn't she say she hadn't gone to school back on Tiandu Mountain? She hadn't even finished junior high!"

When she heard about it, she immediately kept her distance from Xie, afraid that her stupidity might be contagious.

On the other side, Xie Li saw Wang Xiangxiang leave, quickly walked to the car, opened the door, got in, and closed the door in one smooth motion.

She didn't want to waste any more time here; it was almost time for the curfew set by Butler Wu.

After being prompted by her friends, Wang Xiangxiang learned that Xie Li had actually run away, and she was furious.

"How dare she act like a scoundrel? Has she no shame?!"

Her sisters, with cigarettes dangling from their lips and a sleazy air about them, said, "You can run away, but you can't hide."

Dealing with an ordinary middle school student is a piece of cake.

Jiang Baili had been invisible to the other girls from the beginning. Upon hearing this, her gaze lingered on the face of the girl with dreadlocks who was in the lead for a moment, then subtly moved away.

He turned to Wang Xiangxiang and said, "Of course she took the test herself. I tutored her for a few days."

"But something strange happened. My exam paper was switched with another girl's. She was from the same village as me and was the examiner's assistant that day."

She seemed to be chatting casually for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sorry, I accidentally said too much. Xiangxiang, are these your friends?"

Wang Xiangxiang nodded and pointed to the girl with dreadlocks, "This is Sister Qian."

Sister Qian smiled and whistled at Jiang Baili, her smile wicked, "Hello, beautiful lady."
