Forced to Date a Big Shot

14: What Should She Buy Today?

Song Wenman did not understand what had just happened. She stood rooted on the spot and only returned to her senses after some time. Suddenly, she turned to look at Xue Xi.

Xixi is only a high schooler and does not have much money with her, so it is impossible for her to have bought such expensive tea leaves.

So these are actually... bought by Xue Sheng?

All these years, whenever there were important events in the family, Xue Sheng would always buy expensive gifts in advance for her to give as gifts. He did so to uphold Ye Li's dignity and elevate the Ye family's status.

That happened too many times in the past, so Song Wenman naturally thought that Xue Sheng had bought it and got Xue Xi to pass it to her in order to back Ye Li up.

She quickly returned to her senses and straightened her back. Looking at Old Lady Xue, she asked, "Mhm, is this tea alright?"

"It's alright!"

Old Master Xue nodded profusely. He held the three liang of tea and walked to the side jubilantly.

He ought to bring this when visiting the Gao family this weekend—it was even more upscale and he would not need to change the box at all!

Old Lady Xue still could not believe it. "How is it possible that you managed to buy it?!"

Song Wenman lowered her eyes as she said in an elegant yet unfathomable way, "Don't look down on university professors. There's a saying that goes 'having students all over the world...' Oh, I forgot that you might not be able to understand it. Do you need me to explain?"

She was actually hinting that their Ye family had connections and they should not look down on Ye Li!

Old Lady Xue's face turned crimson red and she was trembling from anger.

Song Wenman had the talent of speaking in a mild and refined manner, but her words could anger others to death.

The old lady looked indignantly at Ye Li and scolded, "Consider yourself lucky this time. Be more careful when you're working at home next time!"

Ye Li kept silent and nodded her head.

Seeing that everything had been settled, Xue Xi felt relieved.

Thinking about the mathematics assignment that Old Liu gave her, she picked up her school bag and headed upstairs while walking past everyone. Just as she was on the stairs, she paused before turning to look at Old Lady Xue and said casually, "Don't place this tea in the tea cabinet anymore in case anyone spills it again."

"..."

One single sentence was enough to pinpoint where the problem was. Ignoring the fact that Old Master Xue was now deep in thought and Old Lady Xue was suddenly anxious, she headed upstairs straight away.

After entering her room, she closed the door and fished out the papers from her school bag.

Old Liu said that she should avoid using knowledge outside of the syllabus to answer the questions and that the only method to do so was to use the "tactic of a sea of questions." Hence, she needed to keep doing the questions repeatedly.

Once she got into her studying mode, she blocked out the commotion and the crying that were coming from downstairs.

It was only during dinner time when Ye Li came up to call her that Xue Xi turned around and replied dazedly, "Huh?"

Ye Li touched her head and said helplessly, "It's time for dinner."

However, she could not stop and only stood up after calculating the answer. "Oh."
