After Chen Lian finished speaking, she stared intently at Xie Li, her eyes unblinking.

Xie Li: "Why are you looking at me? What's it to me?"

She was somewhat confused, but her judgment of Pei Si was correct; he was just mentally ill.

Shen Lian has never been one to keep secrets. “My mother told me that what Madam Pei meant was that Pei Si liked you, but unfortunately he didn’t understand his own feelings at the time. He only wanted to rebel against his parents’ forceful arrangements, which is why he made a fuss about breaking off the engagement. But now he regrets it.”

“My mother also said that this is very likely true, but Madam Pei is indeed trying to show you goodwill indirectly through my mother.”

After all, the annulment of the engagement almost caused a complete falling out between the two families, and Pei Si's behavior was indeed too immature and disrespectful.

Xie Li was silent for a moment: "Do I look that much like a sucker?"

Chen Lian: "Oh right, you don't collect junk."

Xie Li doesn't accept junk, but Ming Xiaoxiao desperately wants it but can't get it.

Pei Si's words were a huge blow to her, and with a woman's intuition, she immediately guessed the truth: "You've fallen for Xie Li, haven't you? You like her, don't you?"

Pei Si did not answer, but his silence was tacit agreement.

Ming Xiaoxiao cried until her face was contorted, while Jiang Yifan stood aside, looking utterly lost.

This farce unfolded in a way that Shen Lian hadn't anticipated. However, in order to help the three of them end their suffering as soon as possible, she promptly reported the fighting and early romantic relationship to the head teacher.

The head of the teaching department arrived quickly, caught the three of them red-handed, and took them away for criticism and education.

After finishing their melon, the group grabbed their milk tea and prepared to go home.

The New Year is approaching, and although it gets dark early, the milk tea shop is still bustling with people.

Xie Li hadn't taken more than a few steps when he was stopped. Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and her expression was aggrieved and embarrassed.

"Xie Li, I want to talk to you."

Xie Li casually put one hand into his pocket. "I have nothing to talk to you about."

After saying that, she walked straight past Ming Xiaoxiao and headed outside. To be honest, she felt that Ming Xiaoxiao was troublesome and it was better to get away from her as soon as possible.

Ming Xiaoxiao's emotions surged immediately: "Xie Li, why won't you let me go!"

Xie Li paused for a moment: "???"

She was completely bewildered and turned to ask earnestly, "Sister, what's wrong with you this time? I'm going home for dinner."

After returning, Xie Sidu gave up his job abroad and plans to stay in China permanently.

Perhaps to make up for the more than ten years he missed, he insisted on going home every day to have dinner with his family, no matter how busy he was with work.

Gradually, the Xie family home began to feel like home, and Xie Li no longer treated it as just a hotel, but truly felt at home.

Like Xie Sidu, Xie Li values ​​the time spent having dinner with her family.

Ming Xiaoxiao's face contorted in shock. Xie Li actually called her "big sister"! Was she really that old? She was clearly a few months younger than Xie Li!

“Pei Si doesn’t like you at all. He was desperate to break off the engagement back then. He lived with me for so long, we were together a long time ago.”

Ming Xiaoxiao speaks very quickly; she is always eloquent. Seeing the crowd's attention focused on her, she spoke even louder.

"I know you've gotten close to President Xu of Zhenye Group, so you're using Zhenye Group to target the Pei family and force Pei Si to leave me as revenge..."

Li Chen rushed out, his fists clenched tightly, "Are you crazy? You want a beating?"

Ming Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid of him at all. People always sympathize with the weak. If Li Chen really dared to touch her, he could expect to be fired.
