It was still early, when Xie Xihe left Dawn, it was only a little before ten o'clock, so 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 dropout from Jingying, but it was not the school who called to inform him, but Xie Mingzhu "accidentally" mentioned it when he called to ask for money.

Xue Wanyu accompanied Mrs. Xie to the hospital to visit Mr. Xie, and received a call from Xie Mingzhu not long after sitting down.

She was a little surprised why her daughter called in at this time. While talking to Mrs. Xie, she connected the phone and said, "Pearl?"

Xie Mingzhu said "hmm": "Mom."

Xue Wanyu was puzzled: "Aren't you at school right now? Why did you call at this time? What happened?"

Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said, "Tell the teacher that the school has launched a new online course. It is a famous teacher's column at Tsinghua 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 is it, I will transfer it to you later."

Xie Mingzhu's hand holding the phone tightened slightly, and her voice became lower: "50,000."

It was actually 21,000, but that day, in order to silence the woman, Sheng Zhihuan agreed to give her 3 million hush money.

But the Sheng family is strict, and Sheng Zhihuan has a fixed amount of money that he can freely spend on a daily basis. Most of the presidential suite was already used that day, so he doesn't have much money at all right now.

He could only sneakily borrow some from his friends, and then found an excuse to ask his parents for some. At this moment, there was still a shortfall of nearly 200,000.

She still had some pocket money that she had saved before, but it was only one hundred thousand, and it was nearly half of the gap to make up for the loophole...

"Why is it so expensive? Aren't the previous courses all about 10,000 yuan? Why did it increase five times this time?"

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

She pursed her lips, and said the words she had thought up early in the morning: "The previous courses were all famous teachers hired by the school and the university, but this time the professor is so famous that even Tsinghua University can't ask him to go online. class, so the school hires the person after negotiating with the other party in private, so the price will naturally be different."

It turned out to be the case.

Although she felt that the price was too high, but out of trust in her own daughter, Xue Wanyu didn't think much about it, only hesitated for a moment and said: "Mom knows, I will transfer it to you in a while."

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

The two exchanged a few more words, and Xue Wanyu said, "I just arrived at the hospital right now, I have to buy lunch for your grandfather first, so I won't tell you."

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

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

Immediately swallowed back the words, and said instead: "This is missing your grandpa, then wait a minute, I will turn on the handset on the phone, and you can talk to your grandpa yourself."

After speaking, he pressed the hands-free button, handed the mobile phone to Mr. Xie, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's Mingzhu's call. She's worried about your illness. Tell her a few words."

Mr. Xie snorted softly, but his brows and eyes eased a lot. He cleared his cough and said unhurriedly: "Grandpa's side is very good, don't worry, you can go to school with peace of mind, and you can pay whatever fee you want. Your mother said, if you can’t do it, tell grandpa.”

Xie Mingzhu didn't speak for a moment.

Mr. Xie frowned, and said, "Why aren't you talking?"

After waiting for a few more seconds, Xie Mingzhu's cautious voice came out from the phone, and said with some uncertainty: "Grandpa, sister... hasn't returned to the hospital?"

Mr. Xie paused in his heart, his complexion sank 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, which made her feel uncomfortable.

I was afraid that the old man's suspicion would be aroused by being closed again, so I didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately whispered: "It's just that today my sister-in-law got into a conflict with Teacher Xiang as soon as she arrived in the classroom. , and then the two 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 Jingying High School..."

Quit... Quit school?

Mr. Xie only felt that his eyes were dark for a moment, and although he recovered immediately, he still had a bit of shortness of breath.

Mrs. Xie was taken aback, and quickly picked up the water glass to feed him a few sips, muttering: "You forgot that you just finished the operation, and you are still getting angry when you are still receiving fluids. You really don't want to die, don'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 came to an abrupt end here, and Xie Bowen's eyes fell on her.

It was the same look as the only time she remembered when she had a falling out with Xie Bowen.

Cold, furious.

It completely lost the elegant demeanor praised by outsiders.

Mrs. Xie's expression froze suddenly.

When I came back to my senses, the grievance and embarrassment welled up in my heart.

He threw the water glass on the bedside table with his backhand, and said angrily: "If you have the ability, spend the rest of your life with your precious daughter, and think I want to control you!"

After finishing the words, he walked out of the ward, but unexpectedly bumped into Xie Xihe who was walking towards him.

Mrs. Xie's complexion became even uglier, she passed her and left after snorting heavily.

Xie Xihe: "?"

But it's not just a matter of a day or two that her mother doesn't like her, similar situations will happen every three to five times, and she's used to it, so she just glanced at her casually and continued walking forward.

The conversation in the ward continued.

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

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

Xie Mingzhu bit her lip and said worriedly: "I'm worried that something like this will happen suddenly, my sister is in a bad mood, if something unexpected happens..."

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

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

Xie Xihe walked into the ward leisurely, took the mobile phone away from Mr. Xie's hand, and smiled: "When I had conflicts with Xiang Weiwei before, I didn't see you standing up to help me, but now I'm concerned. Here I am, Xie Mingzhu, should I thank you for caring about me?"

"However," she chuckled, in a casual tone, "it's absolutely unnecessary."

Xie Mingzhu's pupils shrank suddenly.
