She thought it was Jiang Baili, since the only person who could get Grandpa Xie to allow her into the study now would be Jiang Baili.

Upon closer inspection, he came face to face with Xie Li.

Ding Huizhu's smile froze for a moment, then her brows furrowed: "How could it be you?"

As she spoke, she reached out to pull Xie Li out, saying, "This is the old man's study, not a place you can just come in!"

She had thought highly of Xie Li that afternoon, but unexpectedly, Xie Li started causing trouble that evening.

Does she really think she has the ability to understand Mr. Xie's books? There's a limit to nonsense!

Xie Li suddenly raised his hand and broke free from Ding Huizhu's grip. The force was so great that Ding Huizhu's hand slammed against the door next to him with a loud crack.

Ding Huizhu's anger flared up—"Do you even understand human language...?"

"Madam!" Butler Wu was slightly surprised, not understanding Ding Huizhu's sudden anger.

He hurriedly stopped her, respectfully advising, "Madam, it was the old master's instruction that Miss Xie Li can come to the study to read books at any time from now on."

Ding Huizhu suddenly felt embarrassed. She composed herself and said apologetically, "I didn't mean to..."

Xie Li remained calm, his expression unchanged.

She had long been familiar with Ding Huizhu's inexplicable and unreasonable temper, and simply couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to her.

He turned and went inside, sat down at the desk, and turned on the desktop computer.

After that, I fiddled with the phone a couple of times, put it on the computer desktop, then put on my headphones and started playing on the computer.

Seeing this, Butler Wu dared not disturb Xie Li and quickly smiled and asked Ding Huizhu to leave.

Ding Huizhu originally thought that Xie Li, having been allowed into Old Master Xie's study, would definitely seize the opportunity to study diligently.

Even if it's just flipping through those medical books and gaining a rough understanding of the basics, it would be enough to explain things to Grandpa Xie.

Xie Li actually started playing on the computer right in front of her? Was he playing a game or watching a video?

Does she even know what it means to be able to enter Old Master Xie's study in the Xie family?

As expected, he's hopeless and can't understand Grandpa Xie's intentions at all.

Ding Huizhu was furious. Since this had happened right under her nose, she had to do something about it, even if Xie Li was ungrateful and thought she was meddling!

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Butler Wu answer a phone call, "Old Master!"

This form of address made Ding Huizhu react quickly. She nodded reservedly and said to Butler Wu, "Let me say a few words to the old man."

Butler Wu was taken aback for a moment, but still respectfully handed over the phone.

Ding Huizhu took the phone, first inquired about Old Master Xie's health, and then brought up Xie Li's matter.

"You've gone to great lengths to let her study in the study, and I thank you for your kindness. It's just that this child is a bit stubborn; she started playing games on your computer as soon as she came in... I'll try to talk to her about it."

Ding Huizhu is not the kind of person who would simply hide her child's mistakes.

Xie Li's actions couldn't be hidden at all, so it would have been better for him to have the right attitude from the beginning, take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and actively make improvements.

"Playing games?" Old Master Xie's voice deepened slightly, clearly indicating his anger.

Ding Huizhu felt a little embarrassed: "Yes, it's my fault for not disciplining her properly, but please don't worry, I'll go right away..."

"What are you going to do, discipline her?" Old Master Xie's voice was calm, but contrary to Ding Huizhu's expectations, he immediately defended Xie Li.
