The maid shook her head and went to deliver the exam papers. Jiang Baili drank her coffee, and the feeling of irritation finally dissipated as she thought about having dinner next door that evening.
Xie Yunqiu had just woken up from her afternoon nap when she knocked on the door: "I heard you just went to give a lecture to Xie Li?"
Her expression was not good. "The exam is coming up soon. Do you think you have a lot of time to waste?"
"Mom, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Baili affectionately took her arm. "It won't happen again."
Xie Yunqiu's expression softened a bit. "He's just an insignificant person. You need to remember your place and who your real opponent is."
Jiang Baili's expression shifted slightly. Of course, she knew who Xie Yunqiu was referring to, but...
"She's just an adopted daughter; Xie Li is my real cousin," she gently reminded Xie Yunqiu.
Xie Yunqiu: "You're right. What good is an adopted daughter, no matter how outstanding she is?"
Ding Huizhu placed all her bets on Xie Ziyuan, but unfortunately, Old Master Xie would never acknowledge Xie Ziyuan...
As for Xie Li, she's a complete idiot. After getting to know her these past two days, it would be an exaggeration to even think highly of her.

Xie Li adapted to Jiang Baili's arrangements quickly. When the maid brought the test paper over, she obediently picked up her pen and began to work on it.
She finished the five papers in less than an hour.
After finishing writing, I went out to find Jiang Baili, but she wasn't in the room.
After pondering for a moment with his eyes lowered, he walked downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Butler Wu's eyes twitched violently when he saw Xie Li's figure.
He strode forward and blocked Xie Li's path: "Miss Xie Li, it's almost dinner time, where are you planning to go?"
Xie Li pointed to the test paper in his hand: "I've finished the test paper. Go find Jiang Baili."
Butler Wu smiled politely, "Miss Biao isn't here right now, let's talk about it later."
Xie Li paused slightly, glancing at the butler with a puzzled expression.
She could clearly sense that Jiang Baili was at the main entrance, talking to other people.
However, she didn't seem to care. Her cool gaze lingered on the bandage wrapped around the butler's head for a moment, then filled with sympathy: "You seem to be having some bad luck lately..."
Otherwise, how could he still get hit on the head even after she warned him?
Butler Wu's expression froze; being hit on the head by a picture frame was certainly not an pleasant experience.
Although he knew perfectly well that Xie Li hadn't touched the painting, would he have stopped to admire it on his way downstairs if Xie Li hadn't mentioned it?
She smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, please go back upstairs. The maid will come up to call you for dinner."
The most urgent task is to prevent Xie Li from leaving.
Although Xie Li didn't understand what Jiang Baili was doing, he wasn't that curious, so he obediently went upstairs.
Butler Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her figure disappear at the top of the stairs.
Turning to leave through the gate, Jiang Baili was having someone move several potted plants from the glass room. "The old man invited me over for dinner. I heard he likes growing flowers, so I brought a few potted plants to give to him."
After all, having received such a generous gift, it would be extremely impolite to go empty-handed.
Beside them, a young man stood there, looking flattered: "You're too kind! The old man said that you only need to go there in person; you don't need to bring anything!"
It was the same young man who came this morning.
"But..." the young man hesitated, looking at Jiang Baili, "Excuse me, are you Miss Xie Li herself?"
This question was actually a bit impolite, and Butler Wu's brow twitched slightly, as he had a bad feeling.
