Madam Shen had also made a video call, but her words were a warning to Madam Hang.

Looking back, Ding Huizhu also felt that the problem was probably with Xie Li's shampoo. Madam Hang was always petty and uncouth, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to gain some benefits.

Such things are not uncommon even among wealthy families. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. Moreover, with a big brand like Xie Family Huichuntang Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are always people with ulterior motives who want to do something.

However, the Xie family has always acted uprightly and honestly, and has never given anyone cause for criticism.

The reason Madam Hang dared to cause trouble was because Xie Li acted improperly, producing and selling counterfeit goods, which gave them leverage against her.

But now, Madam Shen is actually saying that Xie Li's hair growth serum really has miraculous effects? What a joke!

Ding Huizhu couldn't help but frown: "Madam Shen, are you mistaken? Xie Li is just fooling around. How could she possibly know how to concoct medicine?"

Fearing that Madam Shen wouldn't believe her, she had to explain things clearly, no matter how embarrassed she was.

Although Xie Li was indeed praised by the police for her bravery, one thing is one thing, and that cannot negate the wrongdoing she did.

Ding Huizhu: "To my shame, Xie Li was abducted and sold to a small mountain village in the south when she was a child. Her adoptive parents were dishonest people who sold fake medicine."

"Although Xie Li is not inherently bad, she has been influenced by her adoptive father since childhood and has no concept of counterfeiting and selling counterfeit goods. In fact, I should apologize to you."

"However, Pharmacist Chen checked it last time. Although Xie Li's shampoo was fake, it didn't have any side effects..."

Ding Huizhu knew what kind of people sold fake medicine. While they weren't utterly wicked, they wouldn't dare cause anyone to die, so they only added things like flour—things that wouldn't kill you.

Xie Li's hair growth tonics were mostly made in the same way; he didn't seek merit but only to avoid mistakes, just to get by.

As Ding Huizhu spoke, she became more and more convinced that her judgment was correct, and gradually she became more and more confident.

After all, the investigation materials about Xie Li are still fresh in my mind.

She is Xie Li's biological mother, and she should help Xie Li give an explanation and closure in this matter. She should also let Xie Li see that both the Xie family and the Ding family have extremely strict family rules and do not tolerate their descendants engaging in deception.

"How could you think that?" Madam Shen was utterly astonished, and her gaze towards Ding Huizhu was filled with reproach.

"Xie Li is your biological daughter, isn't she? It's one thing if you don't believe me, an outsider, but you don't even believe your own daughter?"

Su Ying smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, but I think there's a big problem with what you're saying."

"We are Xie Li's friends and classmates. How can you slander Xie Li like this in front of us, showing him no dignity or face whatsoever? What are you thinking? How can you be a parent?"

After asking her sharp question, before Ding Huizhu could react, she immediately smiled, a smile that was particularly elegant and refined.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Auntie. I'm a bit blunt, and I don't like seeing my friends suffer. If I've offended you in any way, please don't be angry."

Xie Li looked somewhat tired after returning. After transferring the money to Ding Huizhu, he didn't participate in any further discussions, only slowly drinking water from a cup.

Upon hearing this, he merely glanced at Su Ying, offering no comment.

Once Su Ying spoke, Chen Lian was even less able to hold back.

"Auntie, what you're saying is really weird. I feel like you're trying to make Xie Li hated. If people who don't know Xie Li hear this, I wonder what they'll think of her."
