Xie Yunqiu adjusted her shawl, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Who knows? The housekeeper just said we don't need to wait for her."
But she knew at least a little bit of the truth.
The glass of milk that Butler Wu was holding seemed too deliberate.
This is consistent with Ding Huizhu's usual style; she will stop anything that makes her lose face.
This method is so underhanded. Drugging one's own daughter, ha... doesn't he care if people laugh at him?
However, Xie Li might be willing to cooperate. After all, he had made a boast and was about to be embarrassed if he couldn't make it back. He needed to find a way to save face.
The driver was still worried, so he got out of the car and walked into the villa himself, presumably wanting to ask in person.
However, he soon turned back, got into the driver's seat, and prepared to start the car.
"Butler Wu said that Miss Xie Li said she was feeling a little unwell, so she won't be going today."
Jiang Baili and Xie Yunqiu exchanged a glance, and Jiang Baili said with some regret, "I was hoping to get into No. 1 High School together with my cousin Xie Li."
The driver sighed; saying he wasn't feeling well sounded like an excuse. But as a servant, he had no right to say anything, so he started the engine and prepared to turn.
Xie Yunqiu was looking out the car window when suddenly her gaze froze.
Jiang Baili looked in the direction she was looking, puzzled, but the car had just turned a corner and she couldn't see anything.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing much," Xie Yunqiu said calmly, coming back to his senses. "Old Wang, hurry up, don't be late."
Just now, she must have been seeing things, right? How could she have seen Xie Li jump straight down from the third floor?
That's the third floor!
——
Xie Li's actions were also out of desperation.
No matter how much Zhang Ma knocked on the door, there was no response. Her room was at the very back of the third floor, and even if she shouted herself hoarse, no one might hear her.
So she chose to jump out of the window, the least risky option.
Who knew that it would scare Zhang Ma so much that she almost died on the spot.
Unfortunately, he still missed the car. Xie Li stared at the car's rear for a moment, then gave up on the idea of forcibly chasing after it.
Turning around, he asked Butler Wu, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, "Are there any other cars at home?"
Butler Wu and the maid looked at her in shock: "Miss Xie Li, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, it seems someone accidentally locked my door. Grandma is still locked in my room." Xie Li then asked seriously, "Could you arrange another car?"
Butler Wu didn't have time to ask Xie Li why he was there; he quickly put on an apologetic expression.
"All the cars in the family were sent out today."
Xie Li was a little disappointed; she didn't know the way, so having a car would have been the best option.
If you don't have a car, then you can only...
Just then, a car horn sounded at the gate. Luo Zhihan got out of the car, still dressed in black, with fair skin and black hair, and an exquisite appearance.
He smiled slightly and looked at Xie Li, "Would you mind if I sent you to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School?"
——
After Xie Li got into the car, he hesitated and said, "I feel like the butler and the others are acting a little strange."
He looked extremely frustrated.
I don't understand.
Luo Zhihan casually rested his fingers on the armrest of the chair, his smile clear and bright. "They're probably overjoyed."
Xie Li said "Oh," and added, "Thank you. What a coincidence! I was almost late."
If she relies on herself, there's a high probability she'll be late.
Luo Zhihan: "We agreed to be classmates, and I don't want anything to change along the way."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Xie Li looked conflicted and hesitated to speak.
