Grandpa Xu didn't give Jiang Baili any face, and only looked at Xie Yunqiu: "Oh, didn't your daughter tell you? When she came to my house for dinner last night, she found out it was a misunderstanding. I thought that since she knew it was a misunderstanding, she should have returned the things to Lili."
Xie Yunqiu's heart sank. So those gifts were really meant for Xie Li!
Jiang Baili said yesterday that she would go to the restaurant next door for dinner tonight, but she has not told her until now that it was a misunderstanding that has made her so embarrassed!
Xie Yunqiu could easily hear the sarcasm in Old Master Xu's words, and his face immediately darkened: "Old Master, some things shouldn't be said carelessly."
"They're just some small gadgets, is it really worth making such a fuss? Since there's been a mistake, we'll just have someone fix them and return them later."
Now, where was her previous elegance and poise? Her face was clouded with gloom, her eyes were filled with sinister intent, and she had an arrogant and domineering air about her.
Instead of apologizing, they even belittled the gifts in their words.
Ding Huizhu, who had been calmly drinking tea nearby, immediately became displeased upon hearing this.
Xie Yunqiu still made a big fuss that night, acting like a robber who broke into the door and stole things. How can he have the nerve to criticize the old man?
Are trinkets really trinkets? A brand's crocodile skin bag and L brand's haute couture dress?
Ding Huizhu had previously ignored Xie Yunqiu's acts of stealing, but now she felt more confident.
He put down his teacup and said with a faint smile, "Yunqiu is indeed worthy of marrying into the capital; she treats things worth millions as nothing."
“But the Xie family only believes in one principle,” she said, glancing at Jiang Baili indifferently, “not even a needle that isn’t mine can be taken.”
"So that day, to avoid suspicion, even though they said it was a gift for Xie Li, we didn't dare to argue with them, just in case."
"What if it's not ours, and we insist on keeping it? Wouldn't that be robbing us?"
Xie Yunqiu's face turned completely green, and she was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Ding Huizhu didn't care about her. She had been being sarcastic as soon as she came down. Well, she deserved to be slapped in the face now.
Xie Yunqiu, unable to bear it any longer, stood up abruptly: "Sister-in-law, don't speak so rudely. Our Baili is still tutoring Xie Li."
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, then thought of the test papers Jiang Baili had given him, and after thinking about it, he nodded.
Hmm... she found those exam papers quite interesting.
Ding Huizhu composed herself, slowly put down her teacup, and remained silent.
She turned to look at Xie Li. Although the green paste on his face had faded a lot, he still looked terrible.
It made her completely unable to stand up for herself.
Meanwhile, upon hearing that Jiang Baili was tutoring Xie Li, Old Master Xu's aged yet piercing eyes sharply turned to Jiang Baili.
Jiang Baili seemed to have finally found her pillar of support, and she felt much more relaxed.
Even though Old Master Xu's gaze made her feel like she was being pricked by needles, she still managed to force a smile.
"Yes, I was planning to return it to her today when Xie Li came to explain the test paper to me."
"I was so busy making an improvement plan for her after I got back last night that I forgot."
Xie Li was taken aback. So Jiang Baili refused to see her last night because she was helping her make a study plan? She quickly thanked her, "Ah, thank you."
Ding Huizhu lowered her eyes and drank her tea, her expression indifferent; Xie Yunqiu adjusted her shawl, her eyes full of smugness.
Jiang Baili straightened her back and turned to go upstairs.
"Hurry up," Old Master Xu suddenly said in a deep voice.
