Xue Wanyu exhaled, quickly muted her phone and put it back in her bag, then looked up, but the next moment she met two pairs of eyes looking at her.
Who else could it be besides Xie Xihe and Old Man Xie?
Xue Wanyu's body froze again, and she didn't know what expression to make.
Subconsciously shouting: "Dad, Xiaoxi..."
Xie Xihe tapped the edge of the bowl in front of him with his fingertips and said nonchalantly, "Can my dad and I have a quiet meal?"
Mr. Xie smiled and said, "Wanyu, I know your kindness and appreciate it, but it seems there is no need now. I don't have anyone to take care of here, so you can go back first."
Xue Wanyu: “…”
There seems to be a fire burning in my heart, but I have nowhere to vent it.
I could only force a smile and said, "Okay, I don't know what's going on with Mom, I...I'll go see her."
Having said that, he couldn't stay for another second, so he picked up his bag and walked out.
But just as he reached the door, Xie Xihe stopped him, as he suddenly thought of something.
Xue Wanyu's facial expression twisted uncontrollably, but when she turned around, she had returned to her usual gentle demeanor and said, "Xiao Xi, is there anything else?"
Xie Xihe lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "I seemed to hear you talking about paying the fee before I came in."
Xue Wanyu paused, feeling a bad premonition, but could only reluctantly reply, "Yes, Mingzhu said the school subscribed to a new online course taught by a professor from National Tsing Hua University, so the fee is a bit higher."
"But I thought that all the other students had already made reservations, so I couldn't just leave Mingzhu out. Not to mention what the other students would think of Mingzhu, our Xie family couldn't afford to lose face..."
Xie Xihe glanced at her calmly, interrupting her chatter, and said, "I just wanted to remind you that before paying, it's best to do the math first."
"Calculate how much money Xie Mingzhu paid to the school after joining Elite."
Xue Wanyu frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to say, "No matter how much money is paid, it must be paid", but the next moment she realized the meaning of Xie Xihe's words.
He hesitated and said, "You mean, the elites are looking for all sorts of excuses to collect money indiscriminately?"
Xie Xihe had come across some scattered fragments while looking at Lin Anyang's past. He had no evidence at the moment, nor had he made any special preparations to collect them, so he said, "I remember my sister-in-law's family has a niece who is in Wenhua High School. She's also in her third year. Why not ask about Wenhua's tuition status?"
Xue Wanyu had never thought about it that way before, so she didn't think there was anything wrong. But when Xie Xihe reminded her of this, and she recalled the money she had paid to the school recently, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
He didn't bother to think about what purpose Xie Xihe had in talking about this matter. He just nodded randomly and left quickly.
Xie Xihe casually withdrew his gaze.
Just as I was about to eat, I turned around and met the longing gaze of my old man.
Xie Xihe: “…”
He simply withdrew his hand that was about to pick up the chopsticks, found a comfortable position to lean back at the end of the bed, and then said, "If you have anything else to ask, ask them all at once."
Mr. Xie had been waiting for her to say this, and immediately asked a series of questions: "What's going on with Dawn Light? How did you come up with the idea of interviewing there, and actually get accepted? Aren't the assessments there said to be strange? How did you pass?"
There were too many questions, so Xie Xihe could only answer them one by one.
"After leaving Elite, I was thinking that if the news of my dropping out spread, someone would inevitably come out and make some noise. It just so happened that Dawnlight was right across the street, so I went for an interview."
She nodded her chin towards the door, a smile curling up at the corner of her lips: "Look, the jumping people are coming."
Seeing her casual yet playful smile, Old Master Xie couldn't help but smile too. He tapped her forehead and said, "You mischievous ghost."
Xie Xihe snorted in dissatisfaction and continued, "As for how it was passed..."
She turned her head to look at the glass window not far away, revealing a thoughtful look: "Maybe it's the face?"
Thinking she was about to reveal some earth-shattering secret, Mr. Xie, who was listening attentively, said: "..."
When you say she's fat, she's out of breath, isn't she?
Is this getting more and more naughty?
Old Master Xie was both angry and amused, but when he came to his senses, he found that the anger that had accumulated in his heart had dissipated completely without him noticing after her joke.
When he saw the smiling eyes of his daughter, what else did he not understand?
This girl is trying to make him happy...
Mr. Xie felt a soft touch in his heart.
Let’s get back to the topic.
Mr. Xie frowned and said, "I'm asking you a question. Answer it properly."
Xie Xihe dropped his joking expression and said, "The admissions instructor asked me to touch a stone in their academy. The stone glowed, and the admissions instructor said I passed the interview."
Is it that simple?
Old Master Xie subconsciously wanted to speak, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Xie Xihe's hand: "Isn't that stone brown, very big, almost as tall as a person, and it emits golden light when you touch it, even..."
He thought of something, and his lips trembled uncontrollably: "Did that rock explode?"
Xie Xihe's brows knitted together, he was frightened and confused: "Dad..."
Mr. Xie already knew the answer, or rather, he no longer needed to know it.
He released his grip on Xie Xihe's hand and murmured something unconsciously.
The voice was too soft for Xie Xihe to hear clearly, but he knew that his condition was not right. He reached out to take his pulse and frowned as he said, "If you don't want me to go, then..."
Before he could finish the three words "I'm not going", Mr. Xie suddenly came to his senses.
He stared at Xie Xihe, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go!"
Xie Xihe's face was full of question marks.
Her father was acting so abnormal today that she was completely confused.
Mr. Xie finally came to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Xi, there are some things Dad can't tell you for the time being, but just remember, Dad has no other requirements for you. I just hope that you will live a safe, smooth, happy and healthy life."
"Dawn Light, let's go. Dad will take you there personally the day after tomorrow."
Xie Xihe frowned and said, "You haven't recovered yet. I can go by myself."
Mr. Xie waved his hand nonchalantly: "I know my own body well. Your medicine is very effective. The wounds from the surgery have almost healed. I'll have the doctor come over and arrange for me to be discharged tomorrow."
Xie Xihe looked at him for a long while, but finally gave up and said, "Okay."
Mr. Xie smiled and didn't continue the topic.
