Chapter 9: It's Time for You to Apologize
Xue Xi changed her slippers, and when she was about to go back to the room, Ye Li, who was wearing a purple dress and a bit of literary temperament, walked out of the kitchen, smiled gently when she saw her, and beckoned to her.
When Xue Xi walked to the restaurant, she handed her a delicate small bowl in her hand, lowered her voice and said, "Xixi, are you hungry?" Freshly stewed bird's nest with honey and milk, you eat a little first. ”
Ye Li's attitude made Xue Xi's eyes gentle, she took it and took a sip, it was a little fishy, but the mellow aroma of the milk and honey made the aftertaste sweet.
She was about to finish her drink when a reprimanding voice came from the staircase: "Eat, eat, eat, know to eat!" Didn't you see Yaoyao crying like that? ”
Ye Li was startled, her body tensed slightly, and then flattered: "Mom, children, it's normal to be a little unpleasant, I'll accompany you to persuade Yaoyao......"
After finishing speaking, she bypassed Xue Xi and was about to go upstairs, but Old Madam Xue stopped, swept towards Xue Xi with drooping eyes, and when she saw the bowl in her hand, her eyes widened, and she scolded angrily: "Who let her eat bird's nest?" This is stewed for Yaoyao! ”
Ye Li hurriedly explained, "Mom, I know, Yaoyao's is still keeping warm, I stewed two servings today, and I'll give Yaoyao the other one later......"
Xue Yao has a bird's nest every day, which is her habit.
Ye Li felt that they were all daughters of the Xue family, and it was appropriate to give Xue Xi a portion every day, but she didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xue was angry: "Yaoyao eats bird's nest because she is tired from studying every day, and she should make up for it, just Xue Xi's pig brain, it is a waste to give her a meal!" Don't stew her in the future! ”
Ye Li was stunned when she heard this.
Bird's nest is a very daily expense for the Xue family, sometimes it is stewed too much, and some will be eaten by 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 nest in her hand, she didn't have any pursuit of these, after all, in the orphanage, as long as she could eat enough.
She placed the bowl on the table and prepared to go upstairs.
At this time, the old lady stood in front of her again, "Also, you say, did you make Yaoyao cry?" ”
Ye Li waved her hand: "How come, she ...... at night"
Before she finished speaking, she heard a "hmm" sound, she was interrupted, and looked at Xue Xi with Old Madam Xue.
Xue Xi didn't leave at all, her eyes that seemed to be forever covered with a layer of fog looked straight at Old Madam Xue: "It seems to be true." ”
Old Madam Xue looked disgusted: "I knew it was you!" You're a psychopath, you say, 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 the? ”
Old Madam Xue was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had misheard...... Her grades are better than Yaoyao's? How is this possible!
Xue Xi gently tugged the schoolbag behind him, and handed the final report card in the schoolbag to Mrs. Xue
Old Madam Xue subconsciously took it, and it was full of the results of various subjects.
Mathematics: 150 points
Science Comprehensive: 288 points
English: 140 points
Language: 102 points
Old Madam Xue, who often showed off Xue Yao's grades to others, of course knew what these scores represented, and she looked at her granddaughter in disbelief who was "stupid and stupid" in her impression.
Xue Xi's toes gently hooked the legs of the dining chair, and the movement was handsome and sassy, the chair shook and stopped in front of her, and then she pressed Ye Li's shoulder to let her sit down, and then looked at the old lady expressionlessly: "Now, it's time for you to apologize." ”
Apologize......
Old Madam Xue suddenly thought of what the girl said yesterday:
"No, you don't."
"If my grades are better than Xue Yao's, you can just apologize to my mother."
Old Madam Xue's face turned red, and her body trembled a little.
Let her apologize to this despised daughter-in-law? Especially in front of the nanny at home, impossible!
Old Madam Xue furrowed her brows, and suddenly covered her chest: "Oops, oops......"
The sister-in-law next to her stepped forward cooperatively: "Old lady, are you guilty of angina again, I will 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, it wasn't until dinner that Old Madam Xue and Xue Yao went downstairs.
Today, the old man Xue Shengqiang has finally finished an acquisition case and will come back to eat together, so the table is rarely neat.
Xue Xi sat next to Ye Li and saw the titular grandfather for the first time.
Xue Shengqiang belongs to a relatively conservative old man, even if he is seventy years old, he is still like a bell and full of majesty, he first looked at Xue Xi, and then nodded with an uncertain attitude: "It's good to be back." ”
Immediately, he swept around the rest of the people, and when he saw Xue Yao's red eyes, he didn't speak, but looked at the old lady and asked lightly: "These days, are you okay at home?" ”
The old lady replied, "It's all right." ”
"Are you sure?"
The old lady was stunned, a little confused.
Xue Shengqiang stared at her: "Did you forget to apologize to Ye Li?" ”
A sentence made the old lady straighten her body, as if she was about to flip the table in the next second.
How could Xue Shengqiang know about this?
The old lady clenched her fists, only to feel an unprecedented humiliation surging up in her heart, she didn't dare to disobey the old man, she could only look at Ye Li unwillingly: "What happened that day, I shouldn't have beaten you." ”
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 endure it in every possible way, because she didn't want Xue Sheng to be caught in the middle and embarrassed, but now, she has Xue Xi, and she must stand in the way.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xue Xi got up, Ye Li happily knocked on the door: "Xixi, your grandmother is here!" ”
The two went downstairs, and Xue Xi saw an old lady with gray hair sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was wearing a placket with a classical charm, with a smile on her face, and she looked very kind.
Old Madam Xue sat opposite, drooping her eyelids, looking down on people.
Old Lady Ye Song Wenman saw Xue Xi standing up excitedly, her old but warm palm held her hand hard, her eyes were red and said, "Good boy, I finally found you!" ”
Ye Li introduced to Xue Xi: "Your grandmother's house is not in Bincheng, and I originally planned to take you to visit them on the weekend, but your grandmother couldn't wait to come over first after hearing about it!" ”
Xue Xi let out an "oh", looked at Song Wenman, and shouted obediently: "Grandma." ”
"Whoa!"
As the three of them were talking, Old Madam Xue suddenly spoke: "Ye Li, the maid at home doesn't know your mother's taste, you go and make a cup of tea for your mother in person." ”
Ye Li was flattered, she nodded: "Okay." ”
When she walked over to the tea cabinet, Old Madam Xue glanced at Sister-in-law Sun, who nodded to her.
When Xue Xi was sluggish enough to notice that something was wrong, Ye Li's exclamation had already come!
