"After all, he is an important guest of the Xie family. It is really not very elegant to have this snakeskin bag here."
Xie Li felt that she understood every single word Jiang Baili said, but why couldn't she understand them when they were put together?
She looked somewhat bewildered. "But this is a local specialty I brought with me."
Jiang Baili frowned, feeling that Xie Li was really clueless.
“I know it’s a local specialty, sweet potatoes, right? No one in the Xie family eats sweet potatoes.” She explained patiently, “This kind of thing is not considered fine food, and since no one eats it anyway, it’s better to throw it away.”
"It's not a sweet potato," Xie Li corrected her earnestly. "It's a golden potato."
Jiang Baili took a deep breath, feeling that it was really difficult to communicate with her.
Is this a problem that can be solved by simply changing to a nicer name? If Xie Yunqiu wants to throw it away, so be it. What can Xie Li do about it?
Madam Xie wouldn't stand up for Xie Li over a sack of sweet potatoes; she might even have to thank Xie Yunqiu, otherwise it would be truly embarrassing to lose face in front of the Xie family's legal team.
“I know it wasn’t easy for you to bring this all the way here.” Jiang Baili pondered for a moment, “How about this, I’ll give you five thousand yuan, consider it as me buying it.”
She was in a fairly good mood today, so she figured she'd just give Xie Li some money to get rid of him.
A quick-witted maid immediately chimed in with a laugh, "It's not worth that much money. Sweet potatoes aren't expensive; five hundred yuan would be too much..."
Having already said what he wanted to say, he suddenly stopped talking and glanced cautiously at Xie Li.
Xie Li ignored the strange male servant and looked at Jiang Baili seriously. "Five thousand yuan probably won't do."
"This is a specialty of Tiandu Mountain, and its cost price is probably more than 100,000."
Of course, this price was what Shen Tiezhu told her; she didn't actually know the price of sweet potatoes outside.
Jiang Baili was stunned, feeling a sense of absurdity.
He dares to ask her for 100,000 yuan for a bag of sweet potatoes?!
From the moment they met, Xie Li was a liar, capable of telling outrageous lies.
The first time was on Tiandu Mountain. They followed Huo Yuntang up the mountain and encountered a wildfire. Huo Yuntang was trapped, but Xie Li claimed that she had rescued Huo Yuntang from the fire.
It should be noted that even Huo Yuntang's two bodyguards were helpless in the face of the wildfire, let alone Xie Li, a thin and weak girl, who had no professional tools and was able to rescue Huo Yuntang all by herself.
However, since she took them in and gave them a place to rest, they accepted the favor and considered it as her saving Huo Yuntang.
The second time was on the plane, where she blurted out that she could fly a plane. While everyone else was busy and scrambling to make a name for herself, she recklessly tried to get attention, not only failing to help at all but also causing Xie Shiyou to break his head.
And now, she's actually saying her sweet potatoes are worth 100,000 yuan?!
Does she lie without even thinking it through? Does she really think everyone else is as stupid as her?!
Jiang Baili shook her head, finding it both amusing and speechless.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know your sweet potatoes were so expensive. I was just worrying for no reason." She elegantly tossed her hair, turned around, and went upstairs in her high heels.
Since Xie Li is stubborn and doesn't know what's good for him, there's no need for her to waste any more words.
Isn't five thousand yuan a lot of money? Even if she just throws it into the water and hears the sound, it's better than giving it to Xie Li.
In the living room, Xie Li stood there, completely bewildered.
The servants overheard their argument, and several of them glanced at Xie Li discreetly.
Their gazes weren't exactly friendly.
Xie Li couldn't help but wonder if she had made a mistake, so she took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to her friend.
Xie Li: @Yuanshangcao, how much did you sell your sweet potatoes for?
