Ding Huizhu's smile froze for a moment.
However, Luo Zhihan was not finished speaking. The young man looked at her. She was as elegant and graceful as a jade tree. Even a simple standing posture revealed her elegance and composure. Although she looked gentle and polite on the outside, a closer look at her eyes revealed coldness.
"While cheating and stealing exam papers are certainly reprehensible acts, it is equally wrong to accuse someone of cheating without evidence."
"In serious cases, we can sue you for defamation."
Ding Huizhu's smile vanished completely.
However, she was always cautious, and this young man had an extraordinary demeanor, with every gesture exuding the refinement and wealth of a noble family.
Therefore, even though she felt offended, she didn't dare to show her displeasure on the spot. Instead, she asked, "May I ask who you are...?" She maintained the politeness without showing any warmth.
As the matriarch of the Xie family, she had seen this kind of spectacle before and wouldn't completely lose her manners.
"Luo Zhihan of the Luo family in the capital," Luo Zhihan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Ding Huizhu was slightly surprised. The Luo family in the capital was a well-known wealthy family in the capital, but unfortunately, they ranked last among the four great families in the capital.
Even so, the Xie family is not someone they can afford to offend.
Ding Huizhu's mind raced. "So it's Young Master Han. May I ask what brings Young Master Han to the Xie family?"
She could only befriend such a powerful family. Moreover, her two children were still in the capital, and she had long wanted to cultivate relationships with the capital's influence to help Xie Ziyuan's future development there…
Could it be because of Ziyuan?
As far as she knew, the young master of the Luo family in the capital was well-known, and everyone who mentioned him would say it was a pity.
The young man was exceptionally handsome from a young age, and his character and talent were both outstanding. Unfortunately, he was born a few years too late, and the heir of the Luo family fell to his elder brother, Luo Ci, and the head of the Luo family declared that there would be no change in the matter.
No matter how outstanding Luo Zhihan is, the Luo family will never belong to him. In fact, to prevent him from threatening Luo Ci's position as heir in the future, the Luo family has always left him to his own devices.
Having lost their inheritance rights, they naturally lost their value in the eyes of the powerful families.
But if it were a simple marriage alliance, or if no financial interests were considered, I estimate that more than 80% of the wealthy young ladies in the capital would want to marry him.
Such a person should not be offended; they can be of assistance, but you should never confide in them.
Xie Ziyuan is the heir of the Xie family whom she has carefully cultivated; she cannot let her down with someone like this.
In an instant, Ding Huizhu thought of many things.
"I'm here to see Miss Xie Li, the eldest daughter of the Xie family," Luo Zhihan said calmly, her smile slightly cool. "Unfortunately, it seems you've misunderstood Xie Li?"
Ding Huizhu was stunned, never expecting this answer.
Moreover, the claim that she is the eldest daughter of the Xie family...
The thought that Xie Li was going around saying that she was the eldest daughter of the Xie family made Ding Huizhu's temples throb again.
"Young Master Han is too kind." Ding Huizhu tried her best to compose herself. "Xie Li is busy and probably can't entertain guests for the time being. However, I recently brought some local specialties from the capital. If Young Master Han doesn't mind, why don't you come and try them?"
She was polite on the surface, but her words already implied that she wanted to see him out.
"No need." Luo Zhihan couldn't possibly go and eat any specialties from the capital. The young man was polite, his smile as gentle as fresh snow after a storm, but unfortunately, there was still a slight coldness in his eyes.
"I just have a few words to say: Xie Li did not cheat, nor did he take anyone else's score."
"Linjiang No.1 Middle School is investigating the exam papers and will give the Xie family a reply later. Please wait patiently at home."
