Driver Wang stared at Wang Cuihua warily, sizing her up. "If there's nothing else, please leave. Don't disturb other people's classes."
Wang Cuihua was also driving him. She was wearing a black suit and leather shoes, and her demeanor was very elegant. Her face looked well-groomed, and she looked like a wealthy person.
Wang Cuihua's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward: "You must be Mr. Xie? I'm Xie Li's adoptive mother! I've always wanted to visit you..."
She rubbed her hands together and gripped the driver's hand tightly. This was a social etiquette she had been taught; she couldn't show any weakness in front of wealthy people.
She is Xie Li's adoptive mother, who raised Xie Li for more than ten years. The kindness of raising her is greater than the kindness of giving birth to her. Everyone in the Xie family should treat her with respect and treat her with utmost care when they see her!
Driver Wang awkwardly withdrew his hand, saying, "Ma'am, you've misunderstood. I'm just the Xie family's driver."
Wang Cuihua's expression froze, and she suddenly felt flustered.
She never expected that this person, dressed so well and with such an extraordinary air, was just a driver and a servant!
How rich must the Xie family be?!
If the Xie family could just let a tiny bit of money slip through their fingers, it would be enough for the three of them to eat and drink well for the rest of their lives!
Thinking of this, Wang Cuihua's eyes gleamed with longing. Since he was just a driver, she didn't need to go out of her way to curry favor.
Turning around, she originally wanted to shake Xie Li's hand, but seeing Xie Li's cold eyes, she thought for a moment and then ran towards Xie Zi'an, who seemed easy to talk to.
"You must be the eldest son of the Xie family, right? Good boy, I am your sister's adoptive mother. You can call me Auntie." In their countryside, calling someone Auntie shows respect.
Xie Zian felt a little uncomfortable. The older woman's gaze was too warm, and it was warm yet kind.
He thought for a moment, then looked at the dirty and tattered duffel bag the other person had placed beside him. “Did you come from somewhere else? If you don’t have a place to stay, you can come to our house with the driver. I’ll tell my grandfather, and he will definitely take good care of you.”
After all, it was almost time for class, and it wasn't convenient for them to stand there and talk.
Wang Cuihua's face showed a hint of timidity. "Go to your house..." Her smile was somewhat forced. She paused, then turned to Xie Li, "Li Li, can you keep me company?"
"I took a train for more than ten hours to get here. I didn't sleep at all on the train last night, and now I'm sleepy, hungry and tired."
As she spoke, she looked at Xie Li expectantly.
"You, you'll let me, your mother, have my way, right? I'm ugly, poor, and old, not as good as your rich lady mother, but... but I'm still your mother!"
As she spoke, she began to wipe away tears, her expression sorrowful.
She was genuinely afraid that Xie Li wouldn't acknowledge her anymore.
People always told her that she had wasted her love on her daughter, since the other party was a rich family's daughter. Why should she adopt a poor, penniless, and incompetent foster mother?
Xie Li looked at her with a cool gaze.
Wang Cuihua stopped crying, feeling wronged. She knew Xie Li didn't like seeing her cry.
"I... I wasn't playing any tricks. I just missed you. Also, your birthday is coming up. It's your eighteenth birthday! You city people have all this coming-of-age ceremony stuff, and I wanted to give you one."
Xie Li didn't believe a word she said. "Tell me, where is Shen Erzhu? What's the point of sending you here alone? If he wants something, let him come and get it himself!"
Wang Cuihua was so anxious that tears were about to fall again. "Really, I didn't! I came alone. I took the train last night, and it was a hard seat. Look, here's my train ticket!"
