After learning about the recent gossip surrounding the Xie family, Madam Pei actually admired Xie Li even more, feeling that her decisive personality was exactly the kind of skill a head of a family should possess.
But at the same time, she completely gave up the idea of continuing the marriage alliance with the Xie family. Xie Li was too powerful and was no longer the little village girl she had thought she could easily manipulate.
If I were to actually marry her and bring her home, what if I couldn't control her and ended up fighting her for power?
Pei Si had never seen anyone as ruthless as Xie Lixin. Most wealthy families value harmony, and even if there are disputes over family property, they usually occur between adults.
Xie Li is so young, yet she first caused Jiang Baili to lose her reputation and be sent abroad, and then she also ruined Xie Ziyuan's coming-of-age ceremony, making her a laughing stock in Linjiang City.
These tactics chilled him to the bone.
Xie Li thought Pei Si was probably not very bright. It was one thing to be so engrossed in gossiping, but he was also unable to distinguish right from wrong, which was commonly known as being blind.
She didn't want to argue with someone who was blind. "Oh, you can really get lost now."
Pei Si: "..."
Qu Wenbin's eyes gleamed with calculation. "You caused Xiaoxiao to lose not only the recommendation for the title of 'Young Genius,' but also her guaranteed admission to Imperial University! If you have any sense of responsibility, you should return Xiaoxiao's guaranteed admission to Imperial University!"
It was no secret that the delegation from the Imperial University was visiting Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. Wenling specifically requested Ming Xiaoxiao to accompany them, and he had no doubt about Ming Xiaoxiao's abilities; he was sure she would qualify.
But afterwards, Ming Xiaoxiao tearfully told him that Dean Cao of the Physics Department of Imperial University had met with Ming Xiaoxiao in person, but then revoked her qualification because of Xie Li.
Qu Wenbin was burning with anger at that moment; he felt that Ming Xiaoxiao had been framed.
Xie Li insisted on skipping a grade to go to the senior year of high school, not because he had real talent and was willing to take on challenges, but simply because there was a shortcut he could take.
She must have secured a place at the Imperial University of Beijing through a guaranteed admission program to dare to skip a grade and go straight to senior year.
Xie Li looked at Qu Wenbin for a moment, then suddenly took out his phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at Qu Wenbin.
"Okay, go on, I'll record it. Anyway, Hang Dongxu has already shown you what the consequences of maliciously defaming others are."
Qu Wenbin's face stiffened.
Unlike Pei Si, his family was only considered middle class and he didn't have the ability to fight against the Xie family. If he helped them too much, he might suffer the consequences himself.
This is why he has only ever dared to stir up trouble and launch attacks from behind the scenes.
"Do you still want to deny it?" Qu Wenbin subtly stepped back a little, making Pei Si stand out in front of him.
“I know you’re amazing. You got into the Young Genius Program, skipped a grade from the first year of high school to the third year, and still want to get into Beijing University. You dare to dream? Who would believe that? I just don’t believe you didn’t leave yourself a way out, like getting a guaranteed admission qualification in advance.”
"Could it be..." Qu Wenbin's eyes were full of malice, "that you also like A-Si, which is why you're so jealous of Xiao-Xiao?"
Pei Si frowned, somewhat displeased that Qu Wenbin was bringing up this topic again. He had been hurt too much by Xie Li and was already traumatized.
However, they were now united in their hatred of the enemy and could no longer care about Qu Wenbin's inappropriate wording.
Pei Si was also getting impatient: "You have Professor Min Luoyang and Zhenye Group backing you up anyway, why are you making things difficult for Ming Xiaoxiao? She's already lost enough!"
Xie Li: "Did a donkey kick your head? Go get medical help if you're sick, and stay away from me!"
She really wanted to hit someone; this person was so incredibly annoying!
I can't take it anymore!
Xie Li reached out and grabbed Pei Si's collar, executing a clean and swift over-the-shoulder throw that left everyone stunned.
