Jiang Baili sat there, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.
She recalled Xie Li's conversation with his assistant on the day of the exam; the two clearly knew each other...
The male servant was terrified. He had wanted to take the opportunity to flatter Miss Biao, but he never expected that he would end up making a fool of himself.
Seeing Jiang Baili's sudden change in expression, he tentatively asked, "Perhaps, Linjiang No. 1 Middle School got the name wrong?"
He knew, however, that Linjiang No. 1 Middle School was not some low-quality school, and the probability of such a thing happening was extremely low. But, what if it did happen?
Jiang Baili nodded, took out her phone, and calmly said, "I'll go verify it."
As she turned to go upstairs to make a phone call, she bumped into Xie Li face to face on the stairs.
Xie Li was holding a luxury goods bag in his hand, while the servant behind him looked miserable, as if he wanted to offer advice but dared not.
Jiang Baili was still holding the admission notice in her hand. In an instant, her fingers gripped it tightly, and every cell in her body tensed up.
Xie Li glanced at the admission notice in her hand out of curiosity, and noticed the school emblem and words of Lijiang No.1 Middle School on it.
The two people passed each other.
Aunt Zhang chased after her, saying, "Young Miss, please slow down."
Xie Li went downstairs and, looking at Jiang Baili's straight back, casually asked, "Grandma, has the admission notice from Linjiang No. 1 High School arrived yet?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ma's heart tightened, and she comforted Xie Li, "The young lady's admission notice might arrive this afternoon."
A hint of disappointment and confusion flashed in Xie Li's eyes. She clearly felt that she had done very well on the exam this time.
Is it going to be like in elementary school, another instance of feeling good about myself and being delusional?
She pulled down her mask, looking somewhat dejected. It seemed she had underestimated city people.
When Butler Wu heard from the servants that Jiang Baili's admission notice had arrived, he rushed over to congratulate her, only to bump into Xie Li, and felt a moment of awkwardness.
Seeing Xie Li walk out of the villa with the packaging bag, he surprisingly did not stop him.
Anyway, the marriage arrangements with the Pei family have already been finalized. Ding Huizhu has already exchanged tokens and betrothal letters, and they are just waiting for the official announcement.
Turning around, she saw Xie Yunqiu gracefully descending from upstairs. She had just heard the announcement and went straight downstairs, completely unaware that Jiang Baili had already gone upstairs to the study.
As she walked, she waved and called out to Butler Wu, "Butler, I want to throw a grand banquet for Baili to celebrate her admission to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School."
"This is the first legitimate grandchild of the Xie family to be admitted to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. I think the old man will be very happy to hear the news and will be happy to host a banquet for relatives and friends."
His gaze swept lightly over Xie Li's retreating figure. "After all, Linjiang No. 1 High School isn't a place just anyone can get into."
That's true. Old Master Xie Buyun was a very old-fashioned person and paid special attention to the education of his children and grandchildren.
Since Jiang Baili has been recognized as having the right to inherit, it means that Xie Buyun thinks highly of her. Now that she has been admitted to Linjiang No.1 Middle School, she has greatly brought honor to the Xie family.
Although Xie Yunqiu's words implied that Xie Ziyuan was not a biological daughter of the Xie family and that Xie Li was an incompetent fool, Butler Wu could only force a smile and agree.
Xie Yunqiu felt extremely relieved.
——
Xie Li walked to the villa next door and found that there was another person inside.
Luo Zhihan was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and when she saw her come in, she seemed not to be surprised at all.
"Sit down." He closed the book, his fingers long and slender with distinct knuckles. "What, you don't like it?"
My gaze fell on the luxury bag she was carrying.
