He couldn't quite understand his young master's insistence on waiting at the door instead of calling Miss Xie Li.

Last time they arrived a step too late, and as a result, the young master got into a fight with a girl. The two were caught on the spot by a teacher from No. 1 Middle School, who immediately made a phone call to Deyu.

Deyu's homeroom teacher was furious. His dream was to surpass No. 1 Middle School, but his student had embarrassed him in front of the teachers of No. 1 Middle School.

Enraged, the homeroom teacher punished Li Chen by making him and that girl clean the toilets for a week.

After cleaning the toilets, you'd be dragged to the office for a half-hour to an hour of ideological education.

Li Chen was also very sad. His homeroom teacher was too cruel. He kept a close eye on him and made it impossible for him to get away to wait for Xie Li a few days ago.

The romantic encounter he had been hoping for never came true.

Li Chen glanced at the school gate again. So, when will Xie Li be able to come out?

Ming Xiaoxiao walked up to Li Chen, and when she saw him turn his gaze back to the school gate, she clenched her fingers. "Li Chen."

She's such a big person, she walked right up to him from the school gate, how could he not see her?

Li Chen finally spared her a glance, his face sour: "You wanted to see me? What's up?"

He hadn't forgotten who had dragged him into a brawl last time, leaving him to clean toilets for a week.

Ming Xiaoxiao's face stiffened, and she bit her lower lip. She was actually very sensitive and immediately sensed the impatience in Li Chen's tone.

They all came from the same school and had been classmates for several years. Li Chen was so kind to Xie Li, who had stopped studying, so why was he so cold to her?

Ming Xiaoxiao seriously suspected that Xie Li had said something to him behind his back.

"...Thank you for helping me that day." Ming Xiaoxiao tossed her hair and smiled at Li Chen.

The girl's smile was pure and sweet, as refreshing as a mountain spring.

Two boys passing by couldn't help but light up, and even after they had walked away, they kept turning back to look at them.

Li Chen: "Oh, you're welcome. I wasn't planning on helping anyway. It was just a moment of impulse, and I regretted it for days afterwards."

burly bodyguard: "..."

He glanced at Ming Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but secretly give Li Chen a thumbs up in his heart.

Young Master is truly remarkable. He doesn't even flirt with the pretty girl. He truly lives up to his reputation as the eldest young master of the Li family!

Ming Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She also noticed the burly man standing next to Li Chen. Although he was wearing a suit and leather shoes, he was very strong and looked like someone who had been doing farm work for many years.

She smiled at the burly man and greeted him quietly.

The Li family leased a hilltop in Tiandu Mountain to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, such as planting trees and raising chickens. I heard they made a lot of money, not only buying a house in Meicheng City but also hiring people, acting like nouveau riche.

Ming Xiaoxiao knew very well that no matter what the Li family did on Tiandu Mountain, they couldn't create a gold mine.

The little money the Li family earned was nothing compared to the wealth of the powerful families in Linjiang City.

She suppressed the urge to turn and leave, biting her lower lip: "Are you looking for Xie Li? I can pass on a message for you..."

"No need!" Li Chen was really annoyed. If he wanted to see Xie Li directly, wouldn't he just call her himself? Did he need her to pass on a message? Were they that close?

"Get to the point." If you don't have something to say, stop babbling on and on; it's annoying!

Ming Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then said very softly, "Sorry to bother you. What I wanted to say is that Xie Li seems to have been caught up in some controversy recently. Everyone suspects that I helped her cheat on the entrance exam for Linjiang No. 1 High School..."
