Pei Si, for some reason, who had been sitting to the side with a sour expression, turned his head, remained silent for a moment, and whispered to Xie Li, "I'm sorry."
Xie Li felt that things were not going well. This Madam Pei was obviously very cunning and wanted to gloss over the annulment of the engagement with ease.
"That's not a good idea," Xie Li thought for a moment. "Since Pei Si has already said he wants to annul the engagement, I think we should respect both sides' opinions."
Madam Pei quickly said, "Lili, you're overthinking it. A-Si just doesn't know how to express it. Actually, he likes you quite a bit and hopes to continue developing a relationship with you."
Pei Si lowered his head and remained silent.
Xie Li sensed something was terribly wrong; was Madam Pei determined to cling to her?
"No, no, no, it's not just Pei Si's problem, I don't like him either." Xie Li quickly declared, "I just want to study hard and get into Imperial University, I have no plans to find myself a fiancé, my grandfather supports my idea, and I believe you will support Pei Si as well."
Madam Pei smiled and said, "Taking the college entrance exam and getting married don't conflict. You can work hard together, and I believe this will be a wonderful time of your youth."
Xie Li: "No, I don't think it's wonderful."
Pei Si frowned. To be honest, Xie Li's words "I don't like him either" had already made him dissatisfied. What did he mean by saying that again?
Is he really that disliked?
"Is being with me not wonderful, but being with that thug is?"
Pei Si pointed to Li Chen, who was squatting by the window. The other man actually sat down on the side of the road with his helmet in his arms.
With his lowly and vulgar appearance, what exactly did Xie Li see in him?
She was even sitting on the other person's beat-up motorcycle, laughing heartily. She had never given her such a friendly look before.
Pei Si felt a heart attack just thinking about this. He had clearly looked down on Xie Li a hundred or a thousand times back then, and he had never given Xie Li a kind look.
Now, however, I feel a vague, inexplicable irritability and...regret.
Xie Li looked at Pei Si with some surprise. She didn't expect that he would dare to turn the tables at this time.
"Li Chen isn't some thug, so please watch your words!"
So they're protecting him now? Pei Si sneered, "What are they if not petty thugs? How many of Deyu's students are good?"
"By the way, he's from Tiandu Mountain, right? I remember that's a poor area, a place the country is trying to help alleviate poverty. No wonder he can't even afford a car."
Madam Pei looked at her son in shock. To be honest, although Pei Si always had a bad temper and spoke sharply, he had never spoken so harshly before.
Is she really concerned about Xie Li?
Then this engagement cannot be dissolved!
Madam Pei also subtly advised Xie Li: "In principle, I shouldn't interfere with your freedom to make friends, but since you said you want to study hard, you should have less contact with Deyu's students."
"You are now a rich heiress, and you will be in contact with the elite circles in the future. Plus, you are beautiful, smart, and ambitious, so you will definitely have a bright future."
But it's a different story for Deyu's students; it's hard to say whether they can even get into university.
Clearly, the two are no longer on the same level in any respect.
Madam Pei didn't think Xie Li would like that kind of boy. Wouldn't the other party see how outstanding her son was?
However, the young girl is still somewhat unclear about the situation, so she doesn't mind giving Xie Li a few pointers.
She adopted the airs of an elder and someone with experience, speaking earnestly and subtly praising Xie Li.
