Chapter 78: Her Heart Feels Warm

Those people were there to stop her yet she now had the chance to leave. Since Gao Yanchen and the rest were fine, Xue Xi did not reject their offer and got into the car. Uncle Li stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

Xue Xi sat in the car and looked back through the car window.

Gao Yanchen had both hands in his pockets. The arrogant youth sneered while Flame Number One shouted. The rest also stopped the reporters. The cluster of flames seemed to be much cuter at this moment.

Xue Xi retracted her gaze. When she reached home, she received Gao Yanchen’s friend request on WeChat. Xue Xi then changed his contact name: Little Flame.

Little Flame: “It’s settled. Don’t worry.”

The message was so arrogant and cute.

Xue Xi alighted and entered with her head lowered. “Thank you.”

Just as she entered, she heard Old Master Xue’s angry voice. “What’s going on?”

Xue Xi’s footsteps accelerated. When she entered, she saw the old patriarch and the old lady sitting on the sofa and glaring at Xue Sheng. “The reporters have all come to the office! If this matter gets reported tomorrow, the company’s stock prices will drop! Why are you so muddle-headed?! Did you have to bribe Huaxia University?”

Xue Sheng instantly shook his head. “Dad, I haven’t been to the capital recently, so where would I have gotten the money? Besides, don’t you think this matter is very strange? There are many people who are guaranteed admission to Huaxia University every year, and there are quite a few exceptions. Why do you keep harping on Xixi? Someone must be behind this!”

Since they were all businessmen, Xue Sheng’s words made the old master think deeper into it. He frowned and was easily diverted by Xue Sheng. “Who is targeting Xue Xi?”

Xue Sheng had a serious look on his face. “I should say, who is targeting us? Xixi is being implicated because of the company’s matters!”

It was the Xue family’s company.

Several competitors flashed across Old Master Xue’s mind. “We must investigate this matter strictly! Those reporters will definitely smear us if they were bribed!”

As soon as he said this, Liu Yiqiu, who had been on guard by the side, blinked and said, “I say, why don’t we ask Xixi to reject the recommendation? That way, we can prove our innocence.”

Ye Li cut her off. “I don’t agree. Xixi is upright and has never done anything wrong. Why should she reject the offer?”

The old lady patted the armrest and said sternly, “What a joke. She’s just a child. How can she be recognized by a professor? No one will believe this if it gets out! How can you say that she’s upright…”

Just as Ye Li was about to speak, Xue Sheng spoke first. “Isn’t it obvious that you’d be telling everyone that we did something wrong if we reject the recommendation?”

Old Master Xue frowned. “Let’s wait and see.”

Xue Xi stood there and quietly watched the argument in the living room.

In the school, the Flames had blocked the reporters for her.

At home, her parents sheltered her from the wind and rain.

Although she had never needed it, she still felt a warmth in her heart at this moment, as though something had been filled.

As she went to bed that night, Ye Li sighed. “Xixi is outstanding, but why do you think Huaxia University is giving her a direct pass?”
