Ding Ruoxu narrowed his eyes. "You just need to get her to leave the Xie family villa. I'll handle the rest."

After the two finished speaking, Ding Ruoxu added a few more words, and the two did not believe that Old Master Xie had a backup.

At most, he had spent many years researching and finally came up with a prescription, which he eagerly gave to Xie Li.

Furthermore, there might be things like the Heart Soup, which require Sacred Heart Fruit, and Xie Li happens to have Sacred Heart Fruit.

Rumor has it that Sacred Heart Fruit comes from Tiandu Mountain, and it seems the rumors are true. Xie Li must have a way to buy Sacred Heart Fruit, which undoubtedly poses an invisible threat to Xie Ziyuan.

A ruthless glint appeared in Ding Ruoxu's eyes. This time, don't blame him for being ruthless!

As Ding Ruoxu was leaving, Ding Huizhu happened to come looking for Xie Ziyuan and greeted Ding Ruoxu.

Suddenly, Ding Ruoxu stopped and stared at her strangely for a long time: "Why didn't you accept the bag of sweet potatoes that Xie Li gave you back then?"

If Ding Huizhu had known how to conduct herself properly and helped Xie Li win people over, that bag of Sacred Heart Fruit might have been delivered to the Ding family instead.

But Ding Huizhu, how could she waste such a precious resource! Utterly foolish!

Ding Huizhu didn't expect him to ask this question suddenly, and subconsciously frowned: "It's just sweet potatoes, nothing special. Besides, does she think she's not rustic enough? Giving sweet potatoes will only make her a laughing stock."

"I think you're the joke!" Ding Ruoxu turned and left.

He took his anger out on Ding Huizhu, who was more trouble than she was worth!

Moreover, he was about to drain Ding Huizhu's money, and he had no patience to deal with Ding Huizhu's stupidity.

Ding Huizhu stood there stunned, completely bewildered by what was happening.

Her heart suddenly tightened. She suddenly remembered that Xie Li had asked for at least 100,000 yuan for that bag of sweet potatoes. Could it be that she had misjudged it?

——

When Xie Li received his university admission notice, the Xie family held a grand banquet to celebrate his graduation.

The hotel was filled with guests in a cheerful atmosphere. A male waiter served Xie Li the juice she had ordered separately, but he almost spilled it because he didn't hold it properly.

Xie Li took the cup, glanced at the young male waiter, whose face was slightly flushed. He whispered an apology, lowered his head, and hurriedly left.

Xie Li fiddled with the cup, thought for a moment, and then drank the juice in the cup in one gulp.

A short while later, a group of waiters served the dishes. One of them accidentally bumped into Xie Li. Xie Li turned around and saw the other person hurriedly leaving, his profile partially visible.

Despite Xie Li's obvious intentions, he thought for a moment and followed after them.

The other person went straight into a guest room, leaving the door ajar as if intending to change out of their waiter uniform. Xie Li pushed the door open and appeared confidently: "Ming Xiaoxiao."

Ming Xiaoxiao stood up, biting her lip. "Xie Li, what are you trying to do?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you what you're planning to do?" Xie Li looked at her coldly. "Weren't you sent back to Meicheng? Why are you still lingering in Linjiang City?"

Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes held a hint of angry accusation: "You've ruined me so badly, do you think I have the face to go back?"

Although based on her grades, there would definitely be schools in Meicheng City willing to accept her, but what does that matter? Without the Spring Bud Project's financial aid, she would have difficulty even earning her tuition fees, and her whole life would have fallen into the mud. How could she accept that?

What she didn't expect was that Ming Chengjun, who had always been kind and friendly to her and expressed his willingness to adopt and take care of her, would suddenly turn on her.

He said she was an imposter who had deceived his feelings.
