Chen Lian said, "Fortunately, we are all smart and not stupid; Xie Li's hair growth serum is also very effective, so we are not afraid of being slandered."
Ding Huizhu was repeatedly offended by a junior, and even the most composed person would soon lose their temper.
She could hardly resist casting a suspicious glance at Xie Li. If Xie Li hadn't spoken ill of her in front of her classmates, why would these kids have such a strong opinion of her?
In the past, all of Xie Ziyuan and Xie Zian's classmates treated her with utmost respect.
Her suspicion was so intense that she could hardly hide it anymore. Xie Li suddenly raised her eyes and looked at her with a clear, pure gaze tinged with a hint of coldness.
"I never manufacture or sell counterfeit goods, nor do I sell fake medicine." Xie Li was so tired that his eyes were about to close. "Please stop spreading rumors and slandering me, or you'll be waiting for a lawyer's letter."
Ding Huizhu: "!!!"
She could hardly believe her ears. What did Xie Li mean? Was she going to sue her?!
Parents are never wrong. It's just a few guesses based on facts, and there's a high probability that what she said is true. How could Xie Li dare to sue her?
Ding Huizhu was furious and was about to reprimand him—
"Yes, Xie Li is right. If you continue to say things like that, you are really suspected of spreading rumors and defamation."
Madam Shen smiled and took over the conversation, "Just because you're Xie Li's birth mother doesn't mean you can say such things so casually, does it? Making and selling counterfeit goods is illegal! Xie Li hasn't broken the law, so what you're saying is nothing short of slander and defamation!"
"Besides, I've already said that I personally used it and it had miraculous effects. You still say it's fake. Isn't it too arbitrary to make such a conclusion without any explanation?"
"Have you ever considered that denying a child's talent like this could completely ruin her?"
These words were a bit too harsh. Ding Huizhu opened her mouth, but found herself unable to defend herself.
She was clearly doing this for Xie Li's own good, afraid that Xie Li would cause trouble, so she apologized first. But how did it become in these people's eyes that she was deliberately trying to harm Xie Li?
Ding Huizhu's face flushed red. "I'm sorry, I didn't think that much. Both the Ding and Xie families have a tradition of raising children who are responsible for their actions. I don't want to be a parent who blindly protects and spoils their child..."
"You're hilarious. The evidence is right in front of you, yet you ignore it and insist on believing only your own subjective conjecture." Shen Lian pouted.
Madam Shen couldn't help but secretly glare at Shen Lian, signaling her to stop while she was ahead.
After all, she is Xie Li's biological mother, and it's not good to keep humiliating her like this.
They came to speak up for Xie Li and to support her, not to make Xie Li and her mother enemies.
"Madam Xie, I've always been a person who speaks my mind. What is true is true, and there's no need for me to lie for Xie Li." Madam Chen smiled faintly.
“I am very grateful to Xie Li for the fact that my hair has grown to this size, so I am presenting this check as a token of my appreciation.”
As Madam Shen spoke, she produced a check. Ding Huizhu glanced at it and froze. The check was genuine, and the amount on it—
Madam Shen didn't seem to be joking at all. She waved the check in front of Ding Huizhu and then handed it directly to Xie Li.
"Anyway, it wasn't just me. Madam Huo and the others, as well as Madam Yin from the capital, all took a bottle to use. The effect was excellent, and they even wanted to ask me for some."
"They all thought that this hair growth serum was made by a high-level alchemist, something that could only be found by chance and could only look on with envy."
Xie Li glanced at the check but refused to take it, saying, "You've already given me one."
