Along the way, Xue Xi was thinking about the strange things that happened today.

Her green fingers gently covered her chest, and her expressionless eyes showed a bit of confusion. There was nothing abnormal in her body when she was at school in the afternoon.

But the pain in the morning is still shocking when I think about it.

If you don’t fall in love, you’ll die...Why does this happen?

When she returned home, she didn't know anything. When she was absent-mindedly about to go upstairs, Xue Yao's surprise voice came from behind: "Uncle Fan, Aunt Fan!"

Xue Xi's footsteps paused slightly, and only then did he discover that a guest had arrived at home.

The old lady was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a smile, but Ye Li was sitting beside her in despair, her eyes were red at the moment, and she had obviously just cried.

Opposite the three of them were two middle-aged men, a man and a woman. The woman first smiled at Xue Yao, her eyes fell on Xue Xi, and after scanning her up and down, she slightly curled her lips, her tone was frivolous: " This is Xixi, right? The long one is Peugeot..."

Xue Xi paused, before she could speak, the old lady hummed: "Yes, I grew up in an orphanage without any tutors. I can't even call people. I am dumb, like our Yaoyao, since I was a child. Smart and sensible, hardworking and studious."

"..."

Xue Xi closed her mouth decisively.

Xue Yao smiled sweetly, sitting beside the old lady in a trot, holding her arm coquettishly, and asking in an affectionate and flattering way: "Uncle, Auntie, why are you here?"

The two suddenly showed embarrassment and didn't speak.

But the old lady said indifferently: "Come to discuss the marriage contract between the two families! You will soon be over your 18th birthday. After your birthday, I will give it to you and the Fan family..."

"Mom!" Ye Li's words were suddenly interrupted, "This engagement is from Xixi, you can't do this!"

The old lady drooped her eyes and said in a serious tone: "The Fan family and we are close friends. We made a marriage contract back then, so that the two families can work together to further the relationship. If you have to let Xue Xi get married, it will not hurt Fan. Home? It's not marriage, it's revenge!"

Ye Li stood up abruptly and cried out aggrievedly: "Xixi married, why is it a vengeance?"

She felt very sad that the daughter she had worked so hard to find was so rejected.

The old lady didn’t think she was too much at all, “Since you ask so, then I’ll make it clear. How good Fan Han is, we all know that since childhood, he has been first in all aspects, and the future of this child is promising. What about Xue Xi? How can she be a idiot worthy of Fan Han? Do they have a common language?"

"Fan Han discussed academic issues with her, did she answer? Fan Han went to the banquet, can she dance? Can she play the piano? She knows nothing! When two people are together, it is a joke to say it !"

"But our Yaoyao has always been very good. She is with Fan Han. This is the name of a beautiful girl and a golden girl."

Ye Li was blocked and speechless. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. The old lady didn't give her a chance to speak. Instead, she looked at Xue Xi: "Xue Xi, what do you think?"

When this was said, several people in the living room looked at her.

Faced with this look, sullen, or worried eyes, Xue Xi twisted his eyebrows.

Although she only came back one day, she has figured out the situation of this family.

The eccentric grandma, the weak mother who treats her sincerely, and the malicious cousin, the two elders of the Fan family who obviously despise her...a bit annoying.

As for that Fan Han—in class today, she noticed such a person. How could this group of people say that they were so good? At least not to mention the rest, but only in terms of looks. Compared to the men in the shop, she was far behind. .

A trace of impatience flashed in Xue Xi's beautiful big eyes, and she slowly said, "Just so."

After speaking, she withdrew her gaze indifferently and walked upstairs, leaving only a living room staring at each other.

How could this gesture seem like she is not so rare for Fan Han?

Madam Fan frowned, a little unhappy in her heart.

After a while, the old lady laughed: "Since Xue Xi has self-knowledge, this is all set! Let's discuss the children's engagement."

The atmosphere was relaxed in vain.

In this case, Xue Yao is not suitable to stay on the scene. She stood up and said, "Then you guys, the cousin may not have a very good exam today. She handed in the papers in only half an hour. I'll see if she needs help. "

She ran upstairs shyly, and she did not forget to complain to Xue Xi.

Ye Li tensed her chin. She looked at Fan's mother and saw that her eyes flashed with disdain. She hurriedly explained, "There is only nine years of compulsory education in the orphanage. High school courses are not taught at night, and it is normal. , I was thinking about finding a tutor for Xixi..."

The old lady sneered and interrupted her: "Is it useful to ask for a tutor? I think it's a waste of money. It's better to buy more clothes for Yaoyao... Our Xue family's children are very clever, this kid is so dumb, and you have your family. The gene of the genius may also be a neuropathy in the future!"

Ye Li blushed immediately.

She clenched her fingers, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes.

Ye Family... Father was originally a university professor, but he suddenly got mentally ill a few years ago. Since then, the old lady who didn't like her has often mocked her.

Now cursing her daughter again...

Ye Li stood up quietly, "Mom, I'm fine with what you say, but you can't say that to Xixi!"

"Snapped!"

Although the old lady is old, she is not slow at all. She slapped Ye Li's face severely and interrupted her: "It's your turn! You dare to talk back to me in front of the guests! Now we If you want to discuss Yaoyao's marriage, it's nothing to do with you, get me up, don't be ashamed here!

Ye Li's cheeks were hot, and he looked at the old lady in disbelief.

After a while, she covered her face and ran upstairs.

-

Although the room Xue Xi lived in was not as exquisite and beautiful as the one decorated by Ye Li, it was spacious and bright enough.

She threw her schoolbag on the desk at random, and immediately lay on the bed, with her hands behind her head, staring at the light purple gauze curtain that fluttered in the wind.

Maybe it was because she grew up in an orphanage. She had no ambitions since she was a child.

The only preference is to learn.

She has an almost pathological thirst for knowledge. But the things that are usually accessible are too shallow, and only advanced content can be found in higher education institutions.

Therefore, her goal is to enter the best university.

It's just that we have to wait another year.

While thinking, there was agitation from downstairs.

Thinking that Ye Li was still downstairs, Xue Xi got up and opened the door to meet her who had just gone upstairs.

Ye Li stopped, and turned his face subconsciously, not wanting her daughter to see her appearance, but when she passed by Xue Xi, she was clasped by her wrist. Xue Xi's eyes were sharp and her voice was very cold: "You, What's wrong with your face?"
