Xue Xi changed her slippers and was about to go back to her room when Ye Li, who was wearing a purple dress and showing a bit of artistic temperament, came out of the kitchen. When she saw her, she smiled gently and waved to her.
When Xue Xi walked to the restaurant, she handed her a delicate small bowl and lowered her voice and said, "Xixi, are you hungry? You have just stewed the bird's nest with honey and milk. You can eat it first."
a little."
Ye Li's attitude made Xue Xi soften her eyes. She took it and took a sip. It was a bit fishy, but the mellow aroma of milk plus honey left a sweet aftertaste.
She was about to finish the drink when a scolding voice came from the stairs: "Eat, eat, eat, just eat! Didn't you see Yaoyao crying like that?"
Ye Li was startled, her body tensed slightly, and then she said flatteringly: "Mom, it's normal for a child to be a little unhappy. I'll accompany you to persuade Yaoyao..."
After saying that, she walked around Xue Xi and was about to walk upstairs when Mrs. Xue stopped and glanced at Xue Xi with her drooping eyes. When she saw the bowl in her hand, her eyes widened and she shouted angrily: "Who
Let her eat bird's nest? This is stew for Yaoyao!"
Ye Li hurriedly explained, "Mom, I know, Yaoyao's is still being kept warm. I stewed two portions today and will give the other portion to Yaoyao soon..."
Xue Yao eats a piece of bird's nest every day, which is her habit.
Ye Li felt that since she was a daughter of the Xue family, she should give Xue Xi a portion every day, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xue would get angry when she said this: "Yao Yao eats bird's nest because she is very tired from studying every day.
It should be replenished, as Xue Xi’s pig brain is a waste if she eats it! Don’t stew it for her in the future!"
Ye Li was shocked when she heard this.
Bird's nests are a daily expense for the Xue family. Sometimes they stew too much and feed some to the nannies at home.
She never imagined that the old lady would be so mean to Xue Xi!
Xue Xi looked at the bird's nests in her hands. She had no pursuit of them. After all, in the orphanage, as long as she had enough to eat.
She put the bowl on the dining table and prepared to go upstairs.
At this time, the old lady stood in front of her again, "Also, tell me, did you make Yaoyao cry?"
Ye Li waved her hand: "How come, Xixi, she..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a voice of "um". She was interrupted and looked at Xue Xi along with Mrs. Xue.
Xue Xi didn't leave at all. She looked straight at Mrs. Xue with eyes that seemed to be always covered with fog: "It seems to be true."
Mrs. Xue looked disgusted: "I knew it was you! You lunatic, tell me, what did you do to Yaoyao?! Why is she crying!"
Xue Xi was silent for two seconds: "Maybe it's because my grades are better than hers?"
"……What?"
Mrs. Xue was stunned and suspected that she heard wrongly... Her grades were better than Yaoyao's? How is this possible!
Xue Xi gently tugged the schoolbag behind her back, and immediately handed the final transcript in the schoolbag to Mrs. Xue
Mrs. Xue subconsciously took it. It was full of scores from various subjects.
Mathematics: 150 points
Comprehensive science: 288 points
English: 140 points
Chinese: 102 points
Mrs. Xue, who often showed off Xue Yao's achievements to others, certainly knew what these scores represented. She looked in disbelief at the granddaughter who she remembered as "dumb and stupid".
Xue Xi gently hooked the legs of the dining chair with her toes and pulled with a handsome and sassy movement. The chair swayed and stopped in front of her. Then she pressed Ye Li's shoulders and asked her to sit down. Then she looked at the old man expressionlessly.
Person: "Now, it's your turn to apologize."
Apologize……
Mrs. Xue suddenly thought of what the girl said yesterday:
"Need not."
"If my grades are better than Xue Yao's, just apologize to my mother."
Mrs. Xue's face turned red and her body trembled a bit.
Asking her to apologize to this despised daughter-in-law? Especially in front of the nanny, it's impossible!
Mrs. Xue frowned and suddenly covered her chest: "Oh, oh..."
Sister-in-law Sun next to her stepped forward cooperatively: "Old madam, are you suffering from your old problem of angina pectoris again? I'll help you go upstairs to rest."
"good……"
Mrs. Xue was supported by Sister-in-law Sun and fled the restaurant in embarrassment.
Xue Xi: "......"
After that, Mrs. Xue and Xue Yao didn't go downstairs until dinner.
Today, the old man Xue Shengqiang finally finished an acquisition project and will come back to have dinner together, so the dining table is rare and tidy.
Xue Xi sat next to Ye Li and saw the titular grandfather for the first time.
Xue Shengqiang is a relatively conservative old man. Even at the age of seventy, he still has a loud voice and full of majesty. He looked at Xue Xi first, and then nodded with an unclear attitude: "It's good to be back."
Immediately, he glanced around the rest of the people, and when he saw Xue Yao's red eyes, he said nothing. Instead, he looked at the old lady and asked lightly: "Is everything okay at home these days?"
The old lady replied: "It's okay."
"you sure?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
Xue Shengqiang stared at her: "Did you forget to apologize to Ye Li?"
This sentence made the old lady straighten her body, as if she was about to overturn the table in the next second.
How did Xue Shengqiang know this?
The old lady clenched her fists, feeling an unprecedented humiliation welling up in her heart. She did not dare to disobey the old man, so she could only look at Ye Li unwillingly: "I shouldn't have hit you about that day."
Ye Li looked at the old lady's resentful eyes and was shocked.
She knew that this time she had completely angered the old lady.
But she couldn't back down. She used to tolerate everything because she didn't want Xue Sheng to be caught in the middle. But now, she has Xue Xi and she has to stand in front.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xue Xi got up, Ye Li knocked on the door happily: "Xixi, your grandma is here!"
The two of them went downstairs, and Xue Xi saw a gray-haired old lady sitting solemnly on the sofa in the living room. She was wearing a classically styled double-breasted dress, with a smile on her face, and she looked very kind.
Mrs. Xue sat opposite her, her eyelids drooped, looking down on others.
Mrs. Ye Song Wenman saw Xue Xi standing up excitedly, holding her hand with her old but warm palms, and said with red eyes: "Good boy, I finally found you!"
Ye Li introduced to Xue Xi: "Your grandma's family is not in Bincheng. I originally planned to take you to visit them on the weekend, but your grandma couldn't wait to come over after hearing about it!"
Xue Xi said "Oh", looked at Song Wenman, and shouted obediently: "Grandma."
"Ai!"
While the three of them were talking, Mrs. Xue suddenly said: "Ye Li, the servants at home don't know your mother's taste. You go and make your mother a cup of tea yourself."
Ye Li was flattered and nodded: "Okay."
As she walked towards the tea cabinet, Mrs. Xue glanced at Sister-in-law Sun, who nodded to her.
When Xue Xi slowly realized something was wrong, Ye Li's exclamation had already been heard!
