Luo Zhihan tapped his knee with his long, jade-like fingers and pondered for a moment: "Lili, let's not talk about Li Chen for now, but the Pei family's matter is probably not that simple."
Xie Li: "Pfft!"
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the boy beside her. He was calm and quietly watching her.
Xie Li: "What did you say? Oh, excuse me, Uncle Wang, could you open the window for me..."
She tried to act nonchalant and gloss over the matter, but Luo Zhihan said, "I know about the engagement."
As she spoke, she reached over Xie Li's body, pressed the window up/down button, and then rolled the window up again.
Xie Li: "...No, I don't think I said anything, did I?"
She just complained about the rumors, without mentioning Pei Si, Li Chen, or the engagement. How did Luo Zhihan know about it?
Luo Zhihan did not answer the question: "Have you ever thought that you actually have a better way to solve these problems?"
She smiled and looked at Xie Li, saying, "You can let me help you."
Xie Li was stunned for a moment, then looked back with a blank expression.
"No, it involves cooperation between two groups and billions of dollars. How are you going to resolve this? Besides, this is my own business, so it wouldn't be good for you to bother."
Although the other party had always been very friendly and easy to talk to, Xie Li felt that he couldn't keep shamelessly bothering others.
Moreover, Pei Si promised to ask his family to annul the engagement when he returned, so we can trust him this once.
If the other party is unreliable... A murderous glint flashed in Xie Li's eyes; she wasn't without a backup plan.
Luo Zhihan looked at Xie Li quietly for a few seconds, then ruffled her hair with a hint of helplessness. "Think it over carefully. You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties."
The car had already come to a slow stop in front of the Xu family villa.
Xie Li: "Oh, you've arrived. Goodbye!"
After getting out of the car, Luo Zhihan smiled as he watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drive away in front of him.

Ding Huizhu was home early Saturday morning, a rare occurrence for her.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ding Huizhu looked around as she went downstairs, her expression displeased. "Where's Xie Li?"
At the dining table, Xie Yunqiu, Jiang Baili, and Xie Zian were all eating breakfast.
Xie Li was nowhere to be seen.
Butler Wu quickly stepped forward: "Miss Xie Li has been busy with her studies lately and has been working very hard. She went to bed very late last night, so..."
Jiang Baili smiled and continued, "That's right, Auntie. Xie Li made a bet with her classmates that she would participate in the No. 1 Middle School Encyclopedia King Challenge. She's probably been busy reading lately. I've seen her reading about ten books a day these past few days."
Xie Zian quickly looked up and gave Jiang Baili a cold look.
"...Inspired and encouraged by Xie Li, I also signed up for a 'King of Encyclopedias' challenge." Jiang Baili added the second half of the sentence with a smile.
Ding Huizhu's expression darkened slightly.
"This is also thanks to Ziyuan's good example. I heard that Ziyuan is the one who holds the record for the highest score in the No. 1 Middle School Encyclopedia Challenge?" Xie Yunqiu glanced at Ding Huizhu with a half-smile. "Bai Li, you'd better keep it up."
"Mom, don't worry, I won't let you down," Jiang Baili said.
She wasn't entirely without confidence.
She knew many people at the No. 13 Middle School in the capital, and had a devoted suitor like Hang Dongxu, so she could get the best materials for the challenge.
On the contrary, Xie Li has been poring over a bunch of mixed and confusing information every day, like a headless fly, completely unable to grasp the key points.
Jiang Baili was confident that she could completely crush Xie Li and Ming Xiaoxiao in this Encyclopedia King challenge.
