She looked up at the dresses and bags hanging in the walk-in closet, and anger rose within her.

She had never been so humiliated before, and now these things were placed here, as if reminding her of the embarrassing moment she had just experienced!

However, the moment my fingers touched the bag, I was touched by the soft feel of the genuine leather.

Although Xie Yunqiu dotes on her and the Xie family treats her the same as Xie Ziyuan, unfortunately, Xie Yunqiu is a little short of money, and the Xie family has strict family rules, so it is unlikely that she will spend millions to buy her a bag in the short term.

Jiang Baili was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised her chin and smiled faintly.

Now that these things have been delivered to her, they are hers. Xie Li, a country bumpkin, does he dare to compete with her for them?

At worst, she can just explain more questions to Xie Li while she's preparing for the exam these next few days.

As for the other servants present today, none of them would be so tactless as to spread the news.

She packed her things, tidied herself up, and calmly went downstairs to have her meal.

Downstairs, only the cook and a few maids were there; Xie Li and the housekeeper were nowhere to be seen.

"The housekeeper also went next door with Miss Xie Li," the maid replied cautiously.

Jiang Baili tightened her grip on her phone, but after a moment she smiled faintly: "It's only right that the housekeeper goes with him, after all, Xie Li comes from the countryside and is still lacking in etiquette."

She remained calm and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."

The kitchen staff were busy preparing and serving the dishes.

Jiang Baili sat down at the table with an elegant posture, and stared at the dishes in front of her for a moment.

A moment later, she realized that this was her entire dinner.

She could hardly believe it, and, suppressing her temper, asked, "That's it? Who decided on tonight's menu?"

The cook replied, "That's all. Butler Wu ordered it himself."

"You!" Jiang Baili took a deep breath, but couldn't lash out.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Butler Wu originally set this menu for Xie Li. If Xie Li can eat it, why can't she?

When the news reached Old Master Xie's ears, he was bound to be scolded for being too extravagant.

Grandpa Xie was a very old-fashioned person, especially strict with the education of children; otherwise, he wouldn't have made the selection of an heir as complicated as the ancient imperial examination for the top scholar.

The cook realized she had made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Miss, I'll go cook two more meat dishes right away. I'm afraid it will be an hour before you have to wait..."

Wait an hour? Her stomach is already growling with hunger, she can't wait even a minute, let alone an hour?

Jiang Baili smiled elegantly and said, "No need, let's eat."

He lowered his head and began to eat, his expression unchanged.

For the sake of the successor selection, she endured the grievances and humiliations of tonight for the time being; but don't expect her to endure it forever!

——

Inside the villa next door, the atmosphere was extremely strange.

The old man tried to move closer to Xie Li, looking aggrieved, but Xie Li politely declined and stepped back.

Only Luo Zhihan remained calm, appearing more like the owner of the house than the old man.

“Grandpa Xu, you shouldn’t get so close to Xie Li… She’s shy, you’ll scare her.”

Butler Wu: ...

Which eye saw that Xie Li was frightened? He looked perfectly calm!

However, he dared not utter a sound, and only exchanged polite greetings with the middle-aged man, who was also the housekeeper, Butler Xu.

Grandpa Xu hung his head, looking like a punctured balloon, utterly dejected.

As the group entered the restaurant, the chef and his servants stood in a row, their dishes covered with plates, a setup comparable to a Michelin three-star restaurant.
