Ding Huizhu returned to Linjiang City with Madam Huo yesterday.

Firstly, Xie Ziyuan's relationship with Huo Yuntang was rapidly developing, and the presence of elders made it inconvenient for the young people to move around; secondly, it was naturally to discuss the details of the engagement with Madam Pei.

And, naturally, it was to clean up the mess left by Xie Li.

Venus's membership was revoked, and as the matriarch of the Xie family, one of the four great families in Linjiang City, it was only natural for her to demand an explanation.

Unfortunately, the Venus Club didn't give her any face at all and turned her away.

Ding Huizhu tried to comfort herself, at least she had given up some of the Xie Group's interests and settled Xie Li's engagement with Pei Si. After he got married, she wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.

Otherwise, with such a troublesome nature, who knows how much misfortune he will bring to the Xie family in the future.

In retrospect, Xie Li's willingness to take Xie Li was truly a stroke of incredible luck.

Since she was already at her own doorstep, she originally planned to come back and take a look, but Xie Yunqiu called her directly and told her to "come back and stop pretending to be dead."

Ding Huizhu was both angry and furious. Her first thought was that Xie Li had caused trouble at home again!

Upon entering the house and seeing the state of the home, she became even more certain, which made her expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Zhang Ma didn't notice, and instead happily said to Ding Huizhu, "Madam, the young lady has been admitted to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School!"

The old lady's thinking was very simple. After all, Ding Huizhu was the eldest daughter of the Ding family, a family of scholars. She valued her children's education even more than the Xie family did, and she did not allow her two children to relax their studies for even a second.

After Xie Li returned, Ding Huizhu treated him coldly, probably because she felt that Xie Li was not well-educated and had a low level of cultural literacy, and was not worthy of being Ding's niece.

Ding Huizhu will definitely be happy to know that Xie Li has been admitted to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School, and will turn her attention back to Xie Li.

Xie Li's intelligence and studiousness were clearly inherited from the Ding family.

That's why she told Ding Huizhu the good news, as if she wanted to curry favor, hoping to improve Ding Huizhu's opinion of Xie Li.

To everyone's surprise, Ding Huizhu's first reaction after hearing her words was not happiness, but a darkening of her expression.

With his gaze falling on the admission notice in Xie Li's hand, and considering the servant's stammering explanation and Xie Yunqiu's reaction just now, how could he not understand what had happened?

In an instant, anger surged within him, and he snatched the admission notice from Xie Li's hand, casually tossing it into the nearby trash can.

Xie Li: "..."

She paused, realizing she might be getting angry.

It's one thing if Ding Huizhu doesn't come back, but when she does, she likes to snatch her things and throw them away. First it was her medicine bottle, and now it's her college admission notice.

Either way, they were both important to her. After thinking about it, she decided not to suppress her anger any longer.

The girl looked up, her clear eyes meeting Ding Huizhu's: "Give it back to me."

Ding Huizhu was surprised that Xie Li dared to challenge her, and her face immediately turned cold.

"Give it back to you?" Ding Huizhu roared in anger. "Is that yours?!"

She didn't know how Xie Li had managed to do it, but Xie Yunqiu was so angry that she rushed to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School to demand an explanation, so she figured it was because Xie Li and Jiang Baili had switched their test papers.

Now she only hopes that this matter is the responsibility of Linjiang No.1 Middle School itself; otherwise, the fact that her own daughter would be so despicable as to cheat on the entrance exam is a disgrace to her and the Ding family.

The Ding family is quite well-known in the education sector of Linjiang City.

"How is it not mine?" Xie Li felt that Ding Huizhu was being completely unreasonable and couldn't hold back anymore. "Xie Li's name is on it, can't you see that?"
