Moreover, it's no wonder she's so sharp-tongued; the Xie family really is outrageous. Her grandmother took such good care of Xie Li, and the Xie family is so wealthy, so giving them a few hundred thousand in return is only fair, right?
Grandma Ming: "If they try to buy back their debt of gratitude, things will get complicated. But..."
She never expected that what should have been a straightforward matter would be handled poorly by the Xie family.
"What's wrong? The Xie family didn't agree to let you work for them?" Ming Xiaoxiao keenly sensed that Grandma Ming's mood was off.
Granny Ming's face darkened, her aged face full of wrinkles: "I'm afraid Xie Li said something."
Zhang Ma was very empathetic and had long since sided with her. She had observed that Zhang Ma held a very high position in the Xie family, and even Old Master Xie had to give her some face.
If she were to ask Old Master Xie or Xie Sidu for help, this matter would definitely be resolved.
The only person the old lady obeyed without question was Xie Li. If Xie Li disagreed, Zhang Ma would definitely not interfere too much.
Grandma Ming never expected things to go wrong like this; Xie Li wouldn't even agree to such a small thing.
Ming Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Did you see that? I told you you overestimated Xie Li. She's cold-blooded and vicious!"
"Furthermore, even if we want to work, we don't need to beg the Xie family or live under their thumb!"
She had never agreed to Granny Ming working as a maid in the Xie family, as it would make her feel like she was completely inferior to Xie Li.
But Granny Ming insisted, and since she wanted to stay in Linjiang City, she needed to find a place to stay.
The staff dormitory at Linjiang No.1 Middle School has always been managed. It's fine for short-term stays, but it would probably be inconvenient to live there long-term.
But she also knew clearly in her heart that if Granny Ming really entered the Xie family, she would probably reap countless benefits in the future.
These past few days, Grandma Ming has taken her shopping and enjoying herself, which has made her realize that this level of spending is actually quite good, similar to that of an average family from Linjiang No. 1 Middle School.
As she enjoyed these material comforts, she became even more afraid of returning to her previous impoverished life.
She has to rely on those men to get whatever she wants to eat, and she can't even ask for it herself. It's so frustrating.
Ming Xiaoxiao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her voice rose considerably: "If you had known that her family was starving when she was little, you shouldn't have been so kind as to give her food! She's a heartless ingrate!"
Grandma Ming clasped her hands together, her expression gloomy.
"I never expected Lili to turn out like this."
He tried to get her to respond several times, but she wouldn't take the bait. He's so rich and lives in a big villa, yet he's so cold and heartless to the old lady who saved his life.
He tried to get rid of her with a bunch of cheap food.
"If I had known, I would have fed her to the dogs instead of her." It was rare for Grandma Ming to stand on the same side as Ming Xiaoxiao.
However, she didn't want to comment too much on Xie Li. Disappointed as she was, she wasn't without other options if she couldn't get into the Xie family.
"By the way, how did you do on your final exams? I heard Xie Li say you did pretty well?"
Ming Xiaoxiao's fingers suddenly clenched. She had always been very confident and assured when it came to exams.
"Xie Lizhen said that? But she skipped a grade to go to the senior year of high school, which means she only learned less than one-tenth of what she learned in high school."
Grandma Ming didn't know much about these things, but she knew Xie Li had dropped out of elementary school. "She's smart, but not that amazing, is she? Skipping a grade without even finishing junior high?"
Ming Xiaoxiao: "Maybe she's just bluffing. You know she's always been one to aim too high."
"Anyway, I'm very confident about my final exams this time. I'm sure I'll get a generous scholarship, and then we can stay in Linjiang City and have a good New Year together."
