Grass on the Plain: 2000
Xie Li looked at the message, pondered for a moment, and then fell silent.
It seems she really got the price wrong?
Just then, Aunt Zhang finished preparing breakfast and called her over to eat. She casually stuffed her phone into her pocket, not even noticing that several more messages popped up on her phone.
Grass on the Plain: W
Plain Grass: What's wrong? Why are you asking this?
Grass on the Plain: Brother Li, do you want tickets to Shen Xinghe's global tour concert?
Grass on the Plain: Shall we go together?
...
Zhang Ma had been busy in the kitchen and didn't know what was happening in the living room, but the old lady was very perceptive and immediately noticed that the servants' gazes toward Xie Li were strange.
She quietly asked Xie Li, "Miss, what just happened?"
Xie Li briefly recounted the argument he had just had with Jiang Baili, and then said with some worry, "Grandma, I think I said something wrong."
She casually quoted 100,000 for a 2,000 yuan sweet potato, no wonder Jiang Baili stopped paying attention to her afterward.
She actually quite wanted to be friends with Jiang Baili.
"Do you think I should sincerely apologize to her later?" Xie Li pondered.
Zhang Ma, however, kept a stern face and deftly served soup to Xie Li.
"What do you want to apologize for? If anyone should apologize, it should be Miss Biao apologizing to you first!"
Zhang Ma was seething with anger. She was already annoyed by Xie Yunqiu's barging into Xie Li's room with his men last night, and today he was deliberately causing trouble, clearly bullying the young lady!
Yes, the ladies of the Xie family don't eat sweet potatoes, after all, they have to attend various banquets and maintain their image.
But those were specialties that the young lady had painstakingly brought from afar, and she had even grown them herself. How could they be the same?!
The young lady has always lived in the mountains, which sounds like a very hard life. When she came to the Xie family, she didn't think about enjoying a life of luxury, but instead thought about bringing back local specialties for her family. What a wonderful child she is!
The words spoken by Xie Yunqiu and her daughter Jiang Baili were incredibly disrespectful!
"You just throw other people's things away like that? Is there no reason for that? You're the eldest daughter of the Xie family, don't you even have this much power in your own home? Don't be afraid of her!"
"She dares to throw away your things, but wouldn't dare take 100,000 yuan? She thinks she can humiliate people with 5,000 yuan? Who is it that can't stand up to scruples?"
"If you ask me, I wouldn't sell it for a million. It was planted by the young lady herself; it's priceless!"
Seeing that the old lady was getting angrier and angrier, Xie Li silently shut his mouth and drank his soup.
The butler, with a bandage wrapped around his head, peeked into the dining room, shook his head, and silently retreated.
Turning around, he saw Madam Xie walking into the house, and hurriedly went to greet her, bowing respectfully: "Good morning, Madam."
Ding Huizhu's expression was not good. When she saw Xie Li sitting in the restaurant having breakfast, her brows immediately furrowed.
"What's going on? Why are you only getting up at this hour?"
The Xie family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and they have always attached great importance to health preservation, with getting up early being a must.
Besides, there are guests at home. How can you be so lazy to sleep so late? What will it look like to outsiders?
Xie Ziyuan and Xie Zian would get up early every day to run by the lake to exercise, regardless of the weather or whether it was raining.
The butler hesitated to answer, and only said in a low voice, "I had someone knock on the door this morning, but Miss Xie Li was probably fast asleep, so I didn't disturb her."
As he spoke, he observed Ding Huizhu's expression. Seeing that she remained silent, he hesitated for a moment before comforting her, "Miss Xie Li, it's your first day home, perhaps you're not used to it yet..."
But even he himself didn't quite believe what he said.
Xie Li, who supposedly ate three large bowls of rice in one go yesterday, what kind of noble lady eats like that? She must be a reincarnated starving ghost!
