Of course, it would be impolite to think that way about an elderly person who had invited her to dinner, so she added reassuringly, "If you need someone to accompany you for dinner, you can invite someone else."
For example, Jiang Baili is quite good.
Butler Wu stood aside and couldn't help but glance at Xie Li several times, completely baffled by his thought process.
The old man came to invite her personally, and his manners were so courteous, yet she still put on airs?
The middle-aged man's smile remained impeccable: "The old man specially invited you because he felt you were pleasing to the eye. He even cooked for you himself tonight. If you don't come, the old man will probably be heartbroken."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Li's expression immediately became very wary.
In her memory, she had never had any contact with this old man. As the saying goes, "He who is overly solicitous is either a crook or a thief." Could this man be a bad person?
Shen Tiezhu had reminded her many times that if she encountered someone who was unusually attentive to her, they were most likely a liar...
Xie Li blinked, looking completely innocent. "I'm sorry, Uncle, my stomach hurts. I can't chat with you anymore. Goodbye."
As he spoke, he tried to close the door.
Butler Wu: "???"
The old man could no longer contain himself and excitedly tried to rush forward: "Lili, it's me..."
Xie Li closed the door even faster.
However, at that moment, a snow-white hand suddenly rested on the door.
Xie Li looked up at the hand, which was fair, slender, and had distinct knuckles, without a single callus. It was as perfect as a work of art.
"We meet again." The boy in black clothes smiled slightly, his face glowing white under the light, but his eyes were an extreme black.
Like cherry blossoms on a branch, or like fresh snow under the moon, they are both cool and beautiful, unbelievably gorgeous.
"It's you." Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Xie Li let go of his hand.
“That old man over there is so kind of you, could you come and have a meal with me?” Luo Zhihan asked with a smile.
Xie Li glanced at the young man in front of him, then turned his gaze to the old man.
The old man nodded frantically, looking at her expectantly, as if he wanted to bite his handkerchief.
Xie Li pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright." If there are acquaintances around, then there's probably no need to worry about being scammed.
Xie Li followed the group of people away, while Butler Wu stood there stunned for a moment, feeling like he was about to go crazy.
The old man was one thing; although he seemed to have some presence, he was eccentric and didn't look like a big shot. But the young man who had just appeared had a mind-blowing effect on him.
It wasn't just because of her outstanding appearance, but more so because of her noble temperament and elegant demeanor.
The Xie family is one of the four most prestigious families in Linjiang City. He had been the Xie family's steward for more than ten years and had seen many wealthy young men.
Those were truly from prestigious families, cultivated by a centuries-old lineage.
Even so, he had never seen any young master from a prominent family who could compare to the boy he had just met.
Despite his gentle and refined demeanor, he possessed a strangely awe-inspiring power, and even a single glance from him was enough to deter him from any presumption.
After a moment's hesitation, Butler Wu decided to follow.
Zhang Ma isn't going back to her son's house today; he has to keep an eye on Xie Li.
Xie Li is just a country girl from the countryside, impetuous and reckless. I hope she doesn't offend anyone, or that she might be attracted to the young man's handsome appearance and have some inappropriate thoughts. If that happens, it will be the Xie family that loses face, and as the steward, he will also be held responsible.

Jiang Baili went upstairs for a while and quickly calmed down.
