To everyone's surprise, Xie Li looked up and glanced at him calmly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
That look in his eyes was neither obedient nor submissive; it even carried a hint of the oppressive aura of a superior, inspiring fear in those who looked down upon him.
Madam Pei was a little stunned. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. When she looked at Xie Li again, she was still a quiet and gentle young girl. How could she have such a terrifying aura?
She's probably overthinking it.
However, Xie Li had a rebellious streak, which she hadn't anticipated: "Auntie just thinks you're still young and don't understand many things..."
"Those petty thugs will not only be of no help to your life, they might even be a hindrance. I'm sure your classmates don't associate with Deyu's students either, right?"
Madam Pei maintained her polite smile and gentle, friendly demeanor, as if she didn't mind Xie Li's defiance at all.
Xie Li lowered his head and sent a WeChat message, then suddenly looked up and said, "Yeah, he'll be getting into Linjiang No.1 High School soon."
Pei Si suddenly felt a surge of anger rising within him: "Getting into Linjiang No. 1 High School? You think it's that easy? You got in through connections..."
When Xie Li looked at him with a clear gaze, he suddenly shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
Madam Pei was somewhat surprised, though she didn't show it on her face. It turned out that there really was something fishy about Xie Li getting into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.
Xie Li thought for a moment, "Who told you I got in through connections? Ming Xiaoxiao, or Qu Wenbin? You actually believe such obviously impossible rumors?"
However, Xie Li had no interest in correcting the image she had in the other person's mind, and she continued with the previous topic.
“Li Chen will be admitted to Linjiang No.1 Middle School. I will tutor him to become a student of Linjiang No.1 Middle School.”
She was confident in herself; she hadn't found the exam particularly difficult. Although Li Chen wasn't very smart, he was very obedient.
Otherwise, Uncle Li wouldn't have felt comfortable letting Li Chen transfer to Linjiang City. It seems that the other party was determined to have him take care of Li Chen.
If she could help Li Chen get into the best middle school in Meicheng City back then, she could certainly help him get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School as well.
These words were so self-satisfied that Madam Pei didn't know what expression to make. Are all kids these days so immature and delusional, thinking they can save the world?
Pei Si didn't believe it either. Ming Xiaoxiao had told him a lot about Li Chen, and he knew all about the other party's background.
Therefore, he gave a dismissive sneer.
Xie Li didn't take it seriously and continued, "Besides, Li Chen isn't some hoodlum. His family background is no worse than the Pei family's, and his character is many times better than Pei Si's."
"I bet Li Chen is far more popular at school than Pei Si."
Pei Si instantly exploded, slamming his fist on the back of his chair in anger. "Xie Li, don't go too far! How dare you compare me to a petty thug?"
Madam Pei also felt a mix of emotions; to be honest, Xie Li's words had touched a raw nerve.
Is Xie Li insane for belittling her son over a petty thug?
However, she still comforted her son, then turned to Xie Li and asked, "Why are you defending the other person like this? What kind of relationship do you two have?"
Madam Pei quickly calculated in her mind that if Xie Li really didn't know what was good for her, the Pei family didn't need to rush to her. After all, Xie Li was the one at fault, so they shouldn't expect her to give back the benefits they had already gained.
She wanted to see what kind of ending Xie Li would get after being dumped by the Pei family and wanting to get involved with that hoodlum...
Xie Li: "Then why don't you ask your son what his relationship is with Ming Xiaoxiao?"
