Before Ding Huizhu could ask any questions, Madam Shen smiled and recounted how Xie Li had assisted the police in rescuing the victims and dismantling the illegal organization.

Madam Shen came specifically to escort Xie Li home, and Shen Lian and Su Ying happened to come along as well.

The police said they wanted to thank Xie Li for his bravery and sent someone to Xie Li's home to explain the situation.

"Ms. Ding, we are very sorry, but due to the tight schedule, the banner for recognizing a brave and righteous act is still being made urgently. We will send someone to Xie Li's home later to present the banner and medal!"

The middle-aged police officer said, giving Ding Huizhu a special salute, "Thank you for raising such an outstanding daughter!"

The police had other things to attend to, so after explaining the situation, they said goodbye and left.

As he was leaving, the young police officer couldn't help but mutter a complaint: "Sir, Mrs. Xie clearly doesn't seem like someone who can raise her daughter well. She was just about to hit Xie Li, why are you thanking her..."

These words sounded like a private complaint, but they were clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

Ding Huizhu's face flushed crimson, and she was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.

Only one thought filled my mind: How could this be!

Xie Li actually did a good deed of bravery and righteousness, and was even specially commended by the police!

The person who called her earlier turned out to be a fake policeman, trying to scam her out of her deposit!

Fortunately, she had no intention of bailing Xie Li out, and she didn't panic and transfer the money after receiving a phone call from the other party, so in the end, she didn't suffer any financial loss.

Speaking of financial losses, Xie Li suddenly remembered that she had already refunded Ding Huizhu's tuition fees to the training institution.

"By the way, tell me your account number. I've gotten a refund for the 180,000 yuan tuition fee you paid through the Nuwa Elite Training Academy. I'll transfer it to you now." Xie Li said as he opened his mobile banking app, preparing to make the transfer.

Before Ding Huizhu could speak, Aunt Wan quickly recited Ding Huizhu's bank account number.

"Sister-in-law Wan!" Ding Huizhu quickly stopped her. She was already so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. Asking Xie Li for that money at this time would only make her feel even more ashamed.

Originally thinking that Xie Li must not have remembered since Sister Wan reported it so quickly, Ding Huizhu made up her mind that she would not take the money.

Anyway, it wasn't much money, so it was just compensation for Xie Li.

"No need to transfer it, just consider it your allowance, go buy some good food..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a notification on his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message notification that 180,000 yuan had been deposited into his account.

Xie Li put his phone away and said calmly, "No need, I don't need that little bit of money."

She paused, then added, "You don't need to sign me up for any more tutoring classes. It's a waste of money; I don't need it."

Ding Huizhu's guilt from just now dissipated largely because of those words.

What did Xie Li mean by that? Was he holding a grudge and blaming her for enrolling him in the Yuan training class?

Before she could even process a thought, she heard Chen Lian join in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing).

"Auntie, why did you enroll Xie Li in the Yuan training class? How insecure are you about yourself? Do you think the Xie family's tutoring is inferior to some worthless training institution?"

Madam Shen gave a mock scolding, "Shen Lian, don't be so rude!"

Chen Lian grinned, "Mom, isn't that what you said! What mother would send her child to that kind of training institution!"
