It was still early, when Xie Xihe left the Light of Morning, it was only a little early ten o'clock. She stopped by Chongyuan Pavilion to buy some food, and then took a taxi back to the hospital.

As she expected, Mr. Xie did already know about her dropping out of Elite School, but it was not the school that called him to tell him, but Xie Mingzhu "accidentally" mentioned it when she called to ask for money.

Xue Wanyu accompanied Mrs. Xie to the hospital to visit Mr. Xie. Not long after she sat down, she received a call from Xie Mingzhu.

She was a little surprised why her daughter called in at this time. She spoke to Mrs. Xie and answered the phone, saying: "Mingzhu?"

Xie Mingzhu said "Yeah": "Mom."

Xue Wanyu was confused: "Aren't you at school now? Why did you call in at this time? Did something happen?"

Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said: "Tell the teacher that the school has a new online course. It is a famous teacher column from Tsingta University. It is very helpful for the college entrance examination. Ask us if we want to subscribe."

Xue Wanyu understood. She frowned slightly, but still said in a soft voice: "As long as it is helpful to your study, of course you have to subscribe. How much will it cost? Mom will transfer it to you later."

Xie Mingzhu's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and her voice became even lower: "Fifty thousand."

In fact, it was 21,000, but that day, in order to silence the woman, Sheng Zhihuan agreed to give her 3 million as hush money.

But the Sheng family was very strict, and Sheng Zhihuan had a quota of money that he could freely spend on a daily basis. He had spent most of it on the presidential suite that day, so he didn't have much money at all at the moment.

He could only secretly borrow some from his friends, and made excuses to ask his parents for some. At this time, he was still short of nearly two hundred thousand.

She still had some pocket money that she had saved before, but it was only 100,000 yuan, which was nearly half the amount needed to make up for that hole...

"Why is it so expensive? Those courses before were only around 10,000 yuan, but why did they suddenly cost five times this time?"

Xue Wanyu's slightly tense voice came from the mobile phone, bringing Xie Mingzhu back from her thoughts of running away.

She pursed her lips and said the wording she had thought of all morning: "The previous courses were all hosted by famous teachers jointly hired by schools and universities, but this time the professor is so famous that not even Tsinghua University can ask him to go online.

The class is a class, so the school hired someone after private negotiation with the other party, so the price is naturally different."

That’s what happened.

Although she felt that the price was too high, out of trust in her daughter, Xue Wanyu didn't think much about it. She only hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom knows, and I'll pass it on to you soon."

Xie Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you, Mom."

The two of them talked for a few more words, and Xue Wanyu said: "I just arrived at the hospital now. I have to buy lunch for your grandpa first, so I won't tell you anymore."

Xie Mingzhu's heart moved slightly, and she immediately said: "Are you in the hospital? Have you seen my sister-in-law? Is grandpa okay?"

Xue Wanyu was confused for a moment, but in the next second, she vaguely guessed something.

He immediately swallowed his words and said instead: "I miss your grandpa, right? Wait a minute, I'll put the phone on speakerphone, and you can talk to your grandpa yourself."

After saying that, he pressed the hands-free button, handed the phone to Mr. Xie, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mingzhu's phone number, she is concerned about your condition, please say a few words to her."

Old Mr.

Your mother said, if it doesn’t work, just tell grandpa.”

Xie Mingzhu didn't speak for a while.

Mr. Xie frowned and said, "Why don't you speak?"

After waiting for a few more seconds, Xie Mingzhu's cautious voice came out from the phone, saying with a little uncertainty: "Grandpa, sister-in-law... didn't she go back to the hospital?"

Mr. Xie was heartbroken, his face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he asked directly: "What happened to Xiao Xi?"

Xie Mingzhu's heart tightened, and she suddenly had the illusion of being seen through, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

I was afraid that if I kept showing off any more, I would arouse the old man's suspicion even more, I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said in a low voice: "It's just that my sister-in-law had a conflict with Teacher Xiang as soon as she arrived in the classroom today. The quarrel was quite serious. She said she wanted to change classes or something, and then the two of them

I just went to the teaching office.”

"I don't know what happened later. Not long ago, the school issued a notice saying...that my sister-in-law had dropped out of Elite High School..."

Drop out... Drop out of school?

Mr. Xie only felt his eyes darken for a moment. Although he recovered immediately, his breathing was still a little short.

Mrs. Xie was startled, and quickly picked up the water cup and fed him a few sips, while muttering: "You have forgotten that you have just had an operation, and you are still losing fluids, and you are angry again. You are really going to die, aren't you?"

?”

After all, he couldn't hold it back, and his voice was full of resentment: "As for being so angry, isn't it just one..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Xie Bowen's eyes fell on her, which was exactly the same look as the only time she had a falling out with Xie Bowen in her memory.

Cold and furious.

She completely lacks the elegant demeanor praised by outsiders.

Mrs. Xie's expression suddenly froze.

When I came back to my senses, I was filled with grievance and embarrassment.

He threw the water glass on the bedside table with his backhand and said angrily: "If you can, just live with your precious daughter for the rest of your life. Just think that I don't care about you anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the ward. Unexpectedly, he ran into an argument with Xie Xihe.

Mrs. Xie's face became even more ugly. She snorted heavily and walked past her.

Xie Xihe: "?"

However, it wasn't just a matter of a day or two that her mother didn't like her. Similar situations would happen every three to five. She was used to it, so she just glanced at her casually and continued walking forward.

The conversation in the ward continues.

Xie Mingzhu's voice showed worry and said: "Grandpa, don't be angry first. The most important thing now is to find out where my sister-in-law has gone."

"It has been more than three hours since she left the classroom. Normally, she should have returned to the hospital long ago, but she did not return..."

Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said worriedly: "I'm worried that something like this will happen suddenly. My sister-in-law will be in a bad mood. If something unexpected happens..."

"You're happy now, aren't you?"

A sudden voice from the door interrupted Xie Mingzhu's words.

Xie Xihe walked into the ward slowly, took the cell phone away from Mr.

I’m here, Xie Mingzhu, should I thank you for caring so much about me?”

"But," she chuckled in a nonchalant tone, "it's not necessary."
