Xie Li felt that he was not up to par; his body simply hadn't adapted to this biological clock.

But the housekeeper didn't insist yesterday, but today she insisted that the maid knock on the door, so she had no choice but to get out of bed.

Upon seeing who it was, she instantly snapped back to reality.

"What are you doing here?" She looked suspiciously at Old Master Xu, who was dressed in a Tang suit, leaning on a cane, and looked very dignified.

When Grandpa Xu saw Xie Li come down, he was taken aback and asked, "Did I disturb you?"

Turning her head, she said to Ding Huizhu, who was sitting gracefully on the sofa, "Why did you wake the child up? He's growing and needs plenty of sleep."

Upon hearing this, Ding Huizhu's lips twitched involuntarily.

Still growing? With Xie Li's height, she has to look up slightly even when she's wearing high heels. Is she planning to stick her head up to the sky if she grows that tall?

Grandpa Xu immediately changed his expression when he saw Xie Li: "It's nothing serious, you can go back to sleep."

Xie Li ultimately did not leave.

After thinking it over, she still felt that she couldn't let her guard down with this old man.

So I simply sat down on the sofa.

At the same time, Xie Yunqiu also appeared on the stairs.

She had probably just gotten up, still wearing her pajamas and a shawl, and looked unhappy.

The maid brought her coffee, and after taking a sip, her complexion improved slightly.

She slightly raised her chin and nodded: "What is it that requires such a grand fuss?"

Could it be that Xie Li offended this old man yesterday, causing him to come to his door early this morning demanding an explanation?

She had a party with friends until very late last night and didn't get home until after 2 a.m. She didn't sleep well, so naturally she didn't look well.

She gracefully put down her coffee and said gently, "Sister-in-law, I think Xie Li is a very well-behaved child, but he has lived in the mountains for too long and doesn't know the rules of a wealthy family."

"Please don't get angry with the child. If there's anything, just talk to him calmly and teach him slowly."

Ding Huizhu's expression darkened slightly, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly.

But a few seconds later, he let go of her hand and said indifferently, "It's kind of you to go to all this trouble."

Xie Yunqiu loved seeing Ding Huizhu so angry she couldn't speak but had to pretend to be elegant and magnanimous. She smiled slightly and said, "There always has to be someone who can speak up for her."

Ding Huizhu remained silent, simply lowering her eyes to drink her tea, her expression indifferent.

Xie Yunqiu was puzzled; this didn't seem like someone who was angry. Just as she was pondering this, she heard a voice in her ear say, "Who are you?"

Xie Yunqiu turned around and immediately smiled, "You must be the old man from next door? I wasn't home yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to come and thank you in person..."

The more Old Master Xu listened, the uglier his face became, until it was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.

Even Butler Wu, who was standing next to them, had an embarrassed expression on his face.

Ding Huizhu looked up at Xie Yunqiu, her gaze indifferent, but as a mortal rival of over twenty years, Xie Yunqiu was very sensitive to her gaze and immediately shut up.

His brow furrowed slightly. What was going on? Why did everyone's expressions look so strange?

"So it was you!" Old Master Xu sneered repeatedly, his aged eyes filled with coldness.

Xie Yunqiu sensed something was wrong, but before she could speak, Jiang Baili appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor. She exclaimed happily, "Baili, come here quickly!"

Jiang Baili had already washed and dressed up, with delicate nude makeup on her face and a haute couture dress on her body.

She is knowledgeable, polite, and poised, making her a pleasant surprise to behold.

Compared to the other person, who wore long sleeves and trousers, had a pale green face, and messy hair, it was like night and day.
