Xie Li has no interest in the Huo Group, but they will show no mercy when it comes to her family whom she cares about!

She glanced at Huo Yuntang and said, "This isn't the ancient martial arts world. Put away your internal energy. If you want to fight, I'm ready anytime."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yuntang's inner strength, which was about to explode, was instantly enveloped by an even stronger and more domineering, yet restrained, inner strength.

In that instant, Huo Yuntang's gaze changed completely.

He had previously suspected that Xie Li was a martial arts practitioner, but now he knew that Xie Li was not only a martial arts practitioner, but was also several levels higher than him!

For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of fear and even wanted to run away.

It was terrifying. The oppressive aura was almost suffocating him, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. But when he looked at the secretary, assistant, and housekeeper Xu next to him, they were all completely unaware.

This only shows that Xie Li's control over internal energy has reached its pinnacle.

Huo Yuntang could hardly believe it, yet he had no choice but to accept it.

Was she really just an ordinary village girl farming in the mountains? Thinking of his last memory of falling into the fire, the girl was like a mountain fairy, pure and beautiful, arousing in him a desire to possess her.

But now, he only felt terrified when he looked at Xie Li.

——

"My grandma was arrested and taken to the police station for stealing?" Ming Xiaoxiao received this message right after class, and she was completely devastated.

What will happen to her then? Who will support her?

Ming Xiaoxiao went to see Pei Si. She had fallen to such a miserable state; Pei Si would definitely not want her to suffer.

Whether it's saving her grandmother or taking her in, these are all opportunities for her to gain sympathy by playing the victim and win back Pei Si's heart.

However, Ming Xiaoxiao was stopped at the entrance of the Pei family villa.

Last time, when Ming Xiaoxiao almost broke into the Pei family while the servants weren't looking, and even made Madam Pei so angry that she almost fainted, several servants were implicated to varying degrees.

Seeing Ming Xiaoxiao was like facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing Ming Xiaoxiao's pitiful tears, the security guard showed no pity whatsoever. "Miss Ming, please leave!"

Last time, he was too soft-hearted and they had their wages docked. Ming Xiaoxiao didn't even say thank you. He wouldn't let that idiot fall for it again.

The security guard was cold and ruthless, and a sudden downpour in early summer was all seen by Ming Xiaoxiao as a test from heaven for her.

So when Pei Si's car appeared at the villa's entrance, what he saw was a brave girl, soaking wet, with her curves fully revealed, yet standing tall and resilient.

Ming Xiaoxiao's face was slightly pale from being soaked by the rain. She smiled bitterly and said, "A-Si, I know you still hate me, but you shouldn't let a security guard humiliate me like this."

security guard:"???"

He was completely dumbfounded. The rain had just started suddenly, and when he saw that Ming Xiaoxiao hadn't brought an umbrella, he took the initiative to get one for her so that she could at least be protected from the rain.

As a result, Ming Xiaoxiao angrily threw the umbrella he was holding onto the ground and stood there getting soaked in the heavy rain.

Now he's turning around and accusing her of humiliating him? Explain what he humiliated her about!

The villa area here has strict security, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. He told Ming Xiaoxiao to leave, his tone stern but without the slightest disrespect. He hadn't done anything wrong!

Pei Si looked at Ming Xiaoxiao with a strange expression. "You're overthinking it. You want to humiliate me?"

He turned to the security guard and instructed, "Please escort this young lady out. This area isn't a place where just anyone can come and go."
