Even though he was unhappy, Pei Si still told the truth: "I've mentioned it before, but it's not that simple. My mother wants to invite you to dinner."

Xie Li: "There's no need for dinner. I have no intention of getting to know your mother."

Pei Si looked at Xie Li with complicated emotions. Did she know how many people were begging to have dinner with his mother?

Moreover, she actually refused a meal offered by her elders; that's incredibly impolite.

But Xie Li was adamant, and he couldn't bring himself to continue trying to persuade her, so he could only say coldly, "Whatever."

Pei Si left, maintaining his arrogant demeanor as the school bully. Xie Li stood there, shrugged, and since the matter was more or less resolved, she could now discuss annulment with Grandpa Xie.

She made a phone call, was in a good mood, and hooked her backpack over her shoulder as she prepared to leave.

Before he had walked two steps, a passerby reminded him, "Li Shen, drone!"

Xie Li looked up and immediately felt terrible.

Two drones flew in from who-knows-where, wobbling as they carried two banners and two roses, one reading, "Xie Li, I've been waiting for you for so long~"

Xie Li: "..."

She was so busy arguing that she forgot to unmute her phone.

He hurriedly made a phone call and ordered, "Li Chen, put your drone away, or I'll make things even harder for you!"

As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw Li Chen standing there grinning like an idiot, holding a drone, looking like a landlord's silly son.

Seeing Xie Li come out, Li Chen complained, "Brother Li, the security guards at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School are too much! They wouldn't let me in! I've been here so many times, I should be familiar with them by now, right?"

Security guard at the gate: "..."

He looked at the spirited young man with the same hairstyle as a top idol and wearing the uniform of Deyu Middle School with extreme suspicion.

Yes, that's confirmed. The head of the teaching department specifically instructed that it absolutely could not be put in.

Xie Li: "You... never mind, let's go eat."

She felt that given Li Chen's intelligence, saying more would be useless, but the suggestion of tutoring him to get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School was worth considering.

Because Butler Li attached great importance to this meal, he specially booked a private room at a local five-star hotel and made the arrangements in advance, so he entrusted the important task of receiving guests to Li Chen.

Li Chen ignored everyone else again, and coolly drove off on a motorcycle with Xie Li at breakneck speed.

Xie Li had no objection to the motorcycle. She used to use it back in her hometown, and it was convenient to go anywhere. She could drive it herself.

——

Inside an Audi parked at the entrance.

Madam Pei stared at the motorcycle, her expression slightly frozen: "Is that Xie Li?"

Before coming, she specifically asked someone to find a recent photo of Xie Li.

It must be said that the real heiress's appearance and temperament have changed drastically; she is so beautiful that Madam Pei almost didn't recognize her.

She came to school today not simply to pick up Pei Si, but to talk to Xie Li.

When her son went home and said he wanted to break off the engagement, she was the first to object.

The benefits the Pei family gained from this marriage made her and her husband extremely happy. They never expected that a spoiled country girl could be so valuable.

The Pei family is considered a well-established family in Linjiang City, but they just don't have the ability to grow bigger and stronger.

We finally got a chance to marry into the Xie family. Even if the real daughter is a bit unremarkable, what does it matter? It's not like we can't get a divorce.

As long as it brings tangible benefits to the Pei family and gives them time to develop, nothing else matters.

Xie Li truly brought them a huge surprise.
