Immediately, the tea room was filled with discussion, and the gazes directed at Xie Li carried a hint of reproach.
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a lady couldn't help but peek out from the private room. "Wenling, you had Ming Xiaoxiao tutor Xie Li?"
"As far as I know, Ming Xiaoxiao's academic performance may not be as good as Xie Li's, right?"
Ming Xiaoxiao clenched her fists tightly, looked up at the woman who had spoken, and her eyes widened instantly.
Xie Li was also somewhat surprised, "Ah, big sister, it's you."
This woman was the manager I met at the jade shop that day. She was wearing a business suit and had a gentle and dignified smile.
But that smile was a bit too much for Ming Xiaoxiao. She held her breath, but couldn't help it.
"Excuse me, ma'am, I don't know you at all. How do you know my grades are worse than Xie Li's? My grades are clearly much better than Xie Li's!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Li, her eyes filled with stubbornness, and stood there with her back ramrod straight.
She is both delicate and strong, and her strength is tinged with a sense of grievance.
She didn't understand why this manager was so protective of Xie Li. It was the same at the jade shop that day. Even though the runner-up didn't receive any additional gifts, he insisted on giving Xie Li a piece of raw jade out of his own pocket.
Could it be that the other party is actually after Xie Li's family and wants to curry favor with Xie Li in order to gain access to the Xie family's connections?
As Ming Xiaoxiao thought about it, she became more and more convinced that her judgment was correct.
Although she considered Xie Li her best friend, she was never the kind of person who would tolerate her friend's dishonesty.
Therefore, looking towards Wenling, he added, "I clearly got a perfect score in the poetry challenge at your store that day."
Wenling has Ming Xiaoxiao's WeChat Moments and had seen Ming Xiaoxiao's post from that day, so they quickly realized what was going on.
Moreover, he later heard someone mention in a veiled way that Xie Li's speed in clearing the level that day was astonishing.
He had analyzed the situation and suspected Xie Li of cheating at the time, and Ming Xiaoxiao's reaction at the time corroborated his thoughts.
What Ming Xiaoxiao said that day was, "Why do you all misunderstand Xie Li? Pei Si is the same, insisting that there was something fishy about the poetry challenge that day."
Although Wenling didn't have much interaction with Pei Si, she knew that as the young master of the Pei family, Pei Si had no reason to lie.
Then he must have discovered something.
“Miss Yuan, you are not aware of the situation, so please be careful with your words.” Wen Ling’s expression was cold. The other party was a businesswoman, and he had always disapproved of her shrewd and manipulative ways in the business world, but he would not reprimand her.
However, the other party's attempt to elevate a good-for-nothing by stepping on Ming Xiaoxiao has crossed his bottom line.
"As their teacher, I know their skill level best."
He paused, his expression turning slightly mocking. "You know perfectly well what really happened with the poetry challenge that day."
Yuan Mei was also somewhat displeased. She was merely stating the facts, but Wen Ling acted as if she were pulling strings behind the scenes. Who was she trying to disgust?
I didn't want to say it, but when I saw Ming Xiaoxiao's aggrieved and tearful face, I immediately got angry.
As someone who benefits from insider information, isn't it going too far to smear a victim like this and then act all innocent and naive every day?
She had seen Ming Xiaoxiao a few times when she came to this teahouse before. Every time she saw her working as a waitress, she would either spill tea or forget to wipe the table.
It doesn't look like they're taking things seriously at all.
She would often stubbornly and aggrievedly apologize, and those men just fell for it.
