The noblewoman in front of me exuded an awe-inspiring presence.
Ming Xiaoxiao blurted out, her expression agitated: "Even a wealthy family can't be this unreasonable, can they?"
The gentle expression on Madam He's face vanished completely. She remained silent with a stern face, exuding the aura of an imposing and authoritative noblewoman.
The homeroom teacher, Ms. Ye, finally realized what was happening: "Ming Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? This is none of your business!"
She has always been gentle and kind to all students, especially showing extra care to students like Ming Xiaoxiao who are poor but have good grades.
I've never spoken to Ming Xiaoxiao in such a harsh tone before.
Ming Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. Before she could react, she heard a snicker behind her. "So dramatic."
In that instant, Ming Xiaoxiao felt a surge of anger and abruptly turned her head, ready to loudly rebuke the other person.
At this moment, Madam He finally saw Xie Li, and she stood up abruptly, rushing forward with delight: "Xie Li, you've finally arrived!"
As she spoke, she took Xie Li's hand and led him to sit down on the sofa, her whole demeanor warm, friendly, and enthusiastic.
Ming Xiaoxiao was completely ignored by Madam He, her head buzzing. What was going on? Wasn't Madam He here to settle scores with Xie Li? Why was she smiling so warmly at Xie Li?
Ming Xiaoxiao looked up blankly at the group of people standing outside the door.
Su Ying led the way, crossed her arms, and glanced at her indifferently. Her gaze was clearly nothing, yet it inexplicably made her feel embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Mrs. He's laughter rang out: "May I call you Lili? I really like you so much. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother for what happened this morning..."
Why is this happening? Why? Ming Xiaoxiao didn't understand.
"So it turns out Madam He came to apologize to me, Li Shen. I just don't understand why some people were so agitated just now," a lackey sneered from outside.
He acted as if he were the embodiment of justice, running in to criticize Madam He. If Madam He really came with ill intentions, wouldn't she hold a grudge against him, Li Shen?
This woman is really good at attracting hatred; it seems he'll have to be more vigilant about her from now on.
Ming Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned bright red. What she found even more unbearable was that her homeroom teacher quietly pushed her, saying, "Ming Xiaoxiao, you can go out now."
It seemed as if they were mocking her for being a clown, or as if they were saying she was delusional.
Ming Xiaoxiao could no longer bear it, and with her head down, she hurriedly ran out.
"Xiaoxiao!" Jiang Yifan was also surprised by this development and subconsciously wanted to take Ming Xiaoxiao's hand.
The girl's soft hand slid through his fingertips, carrying a dampness. Jiang Yifan was stunned. She was crying.
"Enough!" Jiang Yifan whirled around, glaring fiercely at his lackey. "Xiaoxiao cried, are you satisfied now?"
With that, he turned and chased after Ming Xiaoxiao.
Ultimately, it's Xie Li's fault. Since she had already reached a reconciliation with Madam He that morning, why didn't she say it?
Ming Xiaoxiao was clearly worried about her and wanted to speak up for her, but she was still ridiculed by them.
Jiang Yifan was absolutely furious; Xie Li had really gone too far!
——
Inside the office, Xie Li was somewhat dazed from the moment Madam He grabbed his hand.
Looking down at the woman's soft hand, the overly intimate contact made her slightly uncomfortable, yet she did not avoid it.
It wasn't until Madam He had two servants present the gifts that she came to her senses: "No need."
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. He said warmly. "These are just some small tokens of my appreciation. I will personally visit the Xie family later to express my gratitude!"
