Even if she was a village girl, the girl next door was still pretty and delicate, like a fairy; Xie Li, on the other hand, had her face covered in a greenish paste in the middle of summer, and her hair was probably singed by a fire while cooking, with half of her head looking like it had been chewed by a dog.
Standing next to that young girl, with his long arms and legs, he looked like a gorilla.
Xie Shiyou only glanced at him and concluded that even if this pheasant flew into a wealthy family, it would never become a phoenix.
Is this really the person whom Grandpa Xie has high hopes for as the successor to the Xie family's traditional Chinese medicine practice?
Why is he in such a hurry to bring the person back before he'll even start the Xie family heir selection plan? Is the old man going mad from his illness?
I was a little nervous when I came, but now all I feel is impatience.
His time is so precious, yet Xie Li deliberately lingers, I don't know what kind of airs he's putting on.
Xie Li was slightly surprised. She remembered that she had clearly told Xie Shiyou that she would not leave until the day after tomorrow.
However, she could also see Xie Shiyou's impatience. "Alright, then wait for me for a while."
Anyway, when she learned a few days ago that the Xie family would be coming to pick her up, she made sure to bring everything she needed.
She pushed her bicycle into the house, fiddled with things inside for a while, and soon came out carrying a backpack and dragging a snakeskin bag.
Upon seeing this, Xie Shiyou could hardly conceal the disgust in his eyes: "Miss Xie Li! I'm afraid you can't take these things to the Xie family."
"Why?" Xie Li blinked. "It's my first time visiting, so I want to bring a gift."
Shen Tiezhu said that wealthy families are very particular about etiquette, so when visiting the Xie family, one should bring more gifts.
Although Shen Tiezhu is a bastard who always acts inhumanely, he is old and a city dweller, so he must have some experience and what he says should be true.
"And you even want to bring a gift?!" Xie Shiyou was so angry he almost laughed.
"Do you know what the Xie family represents in Linjiang City? The Xie family has everything, why would they care about your pile of junk?"
His face was full of disdain. "Alright, throw away all your junk. Stop looking like you're not presentable."
As he spoke, seeing that Xie Li was still planning to put the snakeskin bag into the trunk of the car, he couldn't help but feel angry and tried to snatch it away and throw it aside.
Xie Li seemed startled by his actions and let go of his hand in a daze.
Xie Shiyou grabbed the snakeskin bag, but before he could even feel smug, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his arm and was thrown forward, falling headfirst into the trunk.
Xie Li: "..."
She felt it necessary to explain, "These are all grown by myself; they're probably hard to buy outside."
She knew the city was bustling and had all kinds of goods.
But things you grow yourself always have a different meaning, right? Besides, she's quite good at growing things.
Xie Shiyou: "..."
She makes it sound like what she grows is so precious. But all she does are some mountain produce and such. How precious can they be?
However, he also realized that although this person was a simpleton, he was quite cunning. He thought that by casually bringing back some mountain produce, he could please his biological parents...
The idea is good; she's a poor country bumpkin, and all she has to offer are some local produce.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the Xie family in Linjiang City not only lacked nothing, but her biological parents also had no shortage of daughters.
If she's trying to play the family card, she's probably mistaken!
With that in mind, Xie Shiyou didn't bother to remind her anymore.
This ungrateful country bumpkin will make a fool of himself in the future; just wait and see.
