Beside her, Ming Xiaoxiao glanced at Xie Li, then turned to the tall boy behind her and said, "...Thank you for bringing me to see Xie Lin and Shen Xinghe."

Pei Si hasn't been having a good time lately.

He took Ming Xiaoxiao in out of good intentions, but unexpectedly, it was exposed and Ming Xiaoxiao was punished by the school.

In addition, Ming Xiaoxiao had run into him several times recently while working, and stubbornly refused to accept any monetary compensation from him, which made him feel increasingly guilty towards Ming Xiaoxiao.

His expression was indifferent. "It's nothing. I've contacted my dad's secretary, and they'll arrange for Xie Lin to meet with you alone later."

Xie Lin was originally Pei Si's spokesperson, just a minor idol, so he could use his personal connections.

Since Ming Xiaoxiao said she was also a fan of Xie Lin, he would grant her this small wish.

He never expected to see Xie Li, especially so close by. He could only force himself to remain indifferent and ignore her, fulfilling his vow to treat her as a stranger.

He ignored Xie Li, but Qu Wenbin wouldn't. He was the first to discover that Ming Xiaoxiao had been ostracized that morning.

When he saw the crew leaving from afar, Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and he guessed that something was amiss.

As expected, the question was answered correctly.

She was originally recommended by her classmates to participate in the show, but she was tricked by someone else, and the person who tricked her was the big star Shen Xinghe.

The other party invited Ming Xiaoxiao to join their team, then proceeded to verbally abuse her, and finally left their assistant to threaten Ming Xiaoxiao with cyberbullying.

That was bad enough. Later, he logged into the live streaming platform to watch the live stream and found that Shen Xinghe had invited Xie Li, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Shen Xinghe is a big star, and he didn't know Ming Xiaoxiao before, so it's impossible for him to target her like this for no reason.

The only possibility is that Xie Li said something to him, or even used him to suppress Ming Xiaoxiao.

Qu Wenbin: "What is Xie Li doing? Is he trying to get away with this? If he doesn't follow celebrities, why is he taking away other people's opportunities?"

Seeing Pei Si looking over, he smiled calmly, "Ah Si, look, she's still targeting Xiao Xiao."

"You clearly said you'd have nothing to do with each other from now on, but you're actually putting me down in all sorts of ways. Could it be that she still likes you?"

Pei Si's face was tense, and he looked at Xie Li with a complicated expression.

A slight ripple stirred in her heart, but the thought of how decisive Xie Li had been made back then hardened her heart again.

Qu Wenbin: "How about I test the waters for you?"

Pei Si: "Boring!"

He turned his head away, clearly intending to ignore Xie Li, but Qu Wenbin had been by his side for so long, how could he not see that this wasn't a genuine rejection?

If you really want to refuse, you should just stop yourself sternly.

Qu Wenbin suddenly raised his voice, "Xie Li, you said you don't follow celebrities and even complained about Shen Xinghe's autograph, so why did you push Xiaoxiao away?"

His voice was loud, and the students, who were already wary of the school bully and his gang, all looked over when he spoke.

Qu Wenbin didn't care; many people had heard what Xie Li had just said to Li Chen and Shen Lian.

Among so many students, there must be some who are die-hard fans of Shen Xinghe, so Xie Li's words were really offensive.

Moreover, his eyes flickered, just as the person in question arrived.

Shen Xinghe didn't expect that someone would stir up trouble as soon as he arrived.

When he saw Ming Xiaoxiao standing next to Pei Si, he immediately understood.

I didn't realize this woman was so capable.
