Ding Huizhu was hung up on, and when she called back, she was blocked.
Ding Huizhu's face turned completely black.
She didn't want to ask Xie Li for help, but she couldn't bear to disappoint Xie Ziyuan. This was Xie Ziyuan's first time showing such a clear interest in material things in front of her over the years, and she couldn't bear to let her down.
I originally thought a young man would answer the phone, so I just said it casually and the other party agreed casually.
With just that simple sentence, she never expected the other party to actually argue back and block her!
She turned her head and glanced at Xie Ziyuan. Seeing that Xie Ziyuan was still smiling at her, she hardened her heart and ordered the butler and assistant, "Hand over the spare key to that Rolls-Royce Phantom..."
She still held considerable influence in the household. The housekeeper had a backup of all the car keys, and she ordered him to give them to her. How could the housekeeper's assistant dare to refuse?
She was determined to use him today, even if Xie Li was unhappy!
But as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the roar of a car engine. Turning around with a relieved look in the butler's eyes, she saw the Rolls-Royce Phantom drive straight out of the underground garage and head towards the gate.
Ding Huizhu instinctively took two steps after him, shouting, "Stop! Stop!"
But it was no use; the car sped away.
Ding Huizhu was stunned for a moment, and didn't even dare to turn around and look at Xie Ziyuan.
Xie Ziyuan found it extremely boring. Ding Huizhu had just been so confident, but after making a phone call, the car was driven away.
She turned and got into her previous car, her eyes lowered to hide her displeasure and resentment: "Mom, let's ride in this car."
Ding Huizhu got into the car, trying her best to maintain a calm expression: "Ziyuan, Mom will make it up to you later..."
Xie Ziyuan gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say anything more.
Ding Huizhu suspected she saw a fleeting coldness in her daughter's eyes, but upon closer inspection, her daughter still smiled serenely, appearing peaceful and content.
Without thinking much, she angrily accused Xie Li: "He won't even lend you his car, he's so stingy and doesn't deserve any respect."
As for Luo Zhihan's statement that Xie Li did not attend Xie Ziyuan's birthday party and did not need to ask Xie Ziyuan for help, she thought it was just stubbornness.
They were raised by farmers, so they are short-sighted, only concerned with immediate gains, and completely unaware of the crisis that is right in front of them.
Does she really think that just because Grandpa Xie held a family reunion banquet for her, she can act with impunity? If none of Xie's relatives and friends show up and offer their blessings, then her family reunion banquet will be nothing more than a lonely affair.
Even Grandpa Xie might switch sides at the last minute and go directly to Xie Ziyuan's birthday banquet.
Then Xie Li would have become a complete laughing stock in Linjiang City.
Those wealthy families are the most opportunistic, and Xie Li is also loud and doesn't know how to hide his true colors. Compared to them, who knows how they will try to take advantage of Xie Li in the future.
Wherever I go from now on, I'm afraid I'll never be able to hold my head up high again.
——
At the Yunhe Grand Hotel, members of both the Ding and Huo families arrived early.
Grandma Ding, who rarely goes out, made a special trip over. When she saw Xie Ziyuan, she touched her hand and looked her over happily. Then she took off the bracelet from her wrist and put it on Xie Ziyuan.
Ding Huizhu's eyes widened suddenly, and she tried to stop her: "Mom, this gift is too expensive..."
Grandma Ding glared at her, "My granddaughter is worth it!"
That was a family heirloom of the Ding family, and legend has it that it was bestowed upon the Ding family ancestors by the palace. It was also a symbol of the Ding family's scholarly tradition.
