Xie Li: "Let's stop praising each other. By the way, if it were you, how would you help me?"
Luo Zhihan sighed inwardly. Although he had managed to bring the topic back to the present, he didn't want to talk about it anymore.
His heart was pounding wildly, and if he continued talking, he might really lose control of himself.
I could only change the subject: "If you don't want to pay compensation, you can start with Pei Si's private life. If the other party betrayed the engagement first, then the Xie family wouldn't have to bear any responsibility if they wanted to annul the engagement, right?"
Xie Li immediately realized, "You mean Ming Xiaoxiao?"
Luo Zhihan nodded: "Pei Si just accidentally revealed that he took Ming Xiaoxiao in. As far as I know, the two of them have been living in an apartment in Wenlan Garden for some time now."
Xie Li paused for a moment, still having some reservations about Ming Xiaoxiao's involvement.
"Living together doesn't necessarily mean anything." However, it seems that the two of them do indeed have feelings for each other.
That's at least based on what's happening in the grove today.
Luo Zhihan: "Really? But as a recipient of the Spring Bud Project, Ming Xiaoxiao is provided with accommodation in the old faculty and staff building at the school."
Linjiang No.1 Middle School does have faculty and staff buildings, but the old ones are located in the old campus, where the environment is rather dilapidated.
If Ming Xiaoxiao were truly as diligent, hardworking, upright, and principled as she appears, she wouldn't have complained about the dilapidated state of the old faculty and staff building.
Having a cozy little home is always better than living under someone else's roof.
Xie Li frowned thoughtfully for a while, and felt that this leverage was indeed quite useful.
Now that Pei Si already has Ming Xiaoxiao, he has even less reason to cling to the marriage contract.
They can't possibly want both Ming Xiaoxiao and the Xie family's billions in compensation; they can't have it all.
If the other party really dares to do that, Xie Li is willing to disregard morality and expose this matter.
"I understand, it's okay. I'll give him another chance today. If he doesn't, I'm not one to be trifled with. Thanks!"
——
Xie Li finally resolved a major problem, and his mood improved considerably.
However, when she got home, Grandpa Xie called instead.
His body was weak due to poisoning, and after a busy period a few days ago, he fell into a coma for two days.
When she woke up at this time, she originally wanted to ask Xie Li about his tutoring.
As a result, he received a call from Old Master Gu first. The other party was very emotional and expressed his desire to meet Xie Li.
From the other party's apologetic attitude, Old Master Xie vaguely understood the ins and outs of the matter, and for a moment he became somewhat angry.
"I haven't agreed to this yet. It mainly depends on your opinion. If you don't want to meet, then forget it," said Grandpa Xie.
Although angry, Grandpa Xie managed to remain calm and offered Xie Li some advice: "I suggest you see Old Gu. Don't let his mild-mannered appearance fool you; he's actually quite arrogant at heart."
"He has a high opinion of you and feels guilty about it, so he will definitely help you with your studies."
"By the way, don't think he's only good at literature. He just holds a position at the literary society as a hobby after retirement. Actually, he used to teach science, and he's especially good at math and physics."
...
Xie Li listened patiently to Grandpa Xie's analysis.
When she heard that the old master was considering taking her as his apprentice, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Grandpa, I won't take on a master; I already have one."
Grandpa Xie was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.
Xie Li used to farm in Tiandu Mountain and didn't have much schooling, so where did he find a master?
