Chapter 1735: No Matter What, I Must Go

But if she didn't say anything, Xie Wanyi wouldn't be mentally prepared.

That feeling of being cold-shouldered...

Jiang Motian shook her head.

Then she braced herself and warned: "My family's attitude... might make you feel a bit uncomfortable."

After saying this, Jiang Motian stared intently at Xie Wanyi.

She had decided that if Xie Wanyi showed any sign of hesitation, she would cancel this family dinner.

But Xie Wanyi smiled slightly.

Then he said unhurriedly: "If your family's attitude toward me isn't friendly enough, it's because I failed to perform well; making them feel at ease is my problem. In the future, I will adjust myself so that everyone likes me."

Xie Wanyi's response was so sensible it was heartbreaking.

But how could Jiang Motian bear to let her boyfriend suffer such grievances?

Immediately, Jiang Motian took Xie Wanyi's hand, her tone solemn: "You don't need to adjust yourself for the sake of others; you are great!"

"But for your sake, I can become even better."

"Why must you change? Isn't the way you are now fine?"

Xie Wanyi shook his head gently, then held Jiang Motian's hand in return, his voice firm: "No matter what, I must go; this is a matter of attitude."

Jiang Motian felt Xie Wanyi's persistence.

She also knew that she couldn't talk him out of it.

This made Jiang Motian sigh helplessly.

After hesitating for a moment, she made a concession: "Fine, I'll set a time with Mom."

"Once the time is confirmed, let me know."

"Got it."

Jiang Motian's voice was muffled, and her mood wasn't very high.

However, when she told Jiang Baobao about this decision, the other party's response was quite enthusiastic.

And Jiang Baobao quickly arranged the time for the family dinner.

This family dinner was just a simple meal between family members.

And a chance to give blessings to the young couple who had just gotten together.

But at the dining table, the expressions of the Li Family members were one more serious than the next.

Li Xingyan and Li Beijue both had no smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing Xie Wanyi, they only gave a faint greeting.

Although Jiang Baobao was gentle as always and even greeted Xie Wanyi.

She would immediately look away whenever she happened to meet Li Moning's gaze.

Her mother's avoidance made Li Moning pout her red lips.

She didn't care that there was still a guest present and let out a soft huff.

Jiang Baobao heard this sound, and then she couldn't help but look at Jiang Motian.

Sure enough, Jiang Motian looked displeased.

She was likely harboring a misunderstanding.

Jiang Baobao didn't want the scene to remain awkward, so she took the initiative to say to Li Moning: "We'll talk about your matter later; let's eat first."

"But I want to talk about it now, Mom, just let me rest for two more days!"

Ever since Li Moning had that incident, she had been resting at home.

Li Moning was carefree.

But Jiang Baobao felt this was not a long-term solution.

So yesterday, she had already arranged for her to return to school for classes.

Upon learning this news, Li Moning became unhappy.

She had tried to wheedle her mother several times, wanting her to change her mind.

But... none of it had succeeded.

Jiang Baobao sighed, then said: "You have rested for a long time; it's time to go back to class."

Li Moning didn't feel it had been that long, and she muttered: "Taking a year off school isn't impossible."

Still wanting to take a year off?

What nonsense!

Jiang Baobao shook her head.

Then she put a piece of pork rib into Li Moning's bowl and brought up something else: "I ran into your class monitor's mother last time, and she even said that your class monitor has been missing you."

"Nonsense!"

After Li Moning said this, she realized everyone had looked over.

Realizing that everyone might have misunderstood, Li Moning hurriedly emphasized: "I wasn't talking about Mom, I was talking about the class monitor; my relationship with her isn't that good!"

"Regardless, you really should go back."

Jiang Baobao stated this conclusion and didn't want to talk about this matter anymore.

Seeing this, Li Moning hurriedly nudged Jiang Motian with her arm, wanting her sister to help say a few words.

But Jiang Motian's focus was a bit different.

She asked: "Your personality is so good, and there's still someone who doesn't get along with you?"

"There is, our class monitor's exam scores are always behind mine, so she's annoyed with me. By the way, she even framed me for cheating!"

Li Beijue had never heard of this matter.

Hearing this now, he slammed the table and said indignantly, "What is her name? I'll go find her parents!"

"Oh, that happened a long time ago. There's no need to find her parents, and I handled it myself anyway."

Jiang Motian asked curiously, "How did you handle it?"

"I had the teacher give us a random test paper, then used one class period to compete with her to see who would get the higher score."

"And who won?"

"Naturally, it was me. I got a perfect score."

When Li Moning said this, she straightened her back, looking proud.

She also added, "Ever since then, the class monitor never mentioned the cheating thing again, and she walks the other way whenever she sees me!"

Li Moning was very satisfied with this result.

But Li Beijue did not think so.

He kept his face sullen and muttered again, "But she actually dared to frame you; this is slander, we must sue her!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao advised, "Our daughter handled it very well herself, so don't go stirring up trouble."

"This isn't stirring up trouble, it's standing up for our daughter!"

"That also depends on whether our daughter needs you to stand up for her."

As she said this, the couple looked at Li Moning.

They were waiting for Li Moning to give an answer.

Who knew that Li Moning would roll her eyes and immediately put on a mournful expression.

Then she said with a weak look, "Actually, what happened back then had a big impact on me. I didn't want to go to school because I didn't want to face her."

"That's simple, I'll have her expelled!"

Li Beijue took out his phone, preparing to pull some strings behind the scenes.

This shocked Li Moning.

She hurriedly held down Li Beijue's hand and said, "No need, just let me rest a bit more!"

"This isn't resting, it's avoiding! I cannot let the perpetrator sit comfortably in the classroom. Tomorrow, I will have her suspended and sent home! That way, you can go to school with peace of mind."

Li Beijue looked full of righteous indignation.

But Li Moning was speechless!

In the end, she said as if sulking, "No need, I suddenly feel that my relationship with her is actually not bad."

"Daughter, there's no need to force a smile!"

"I'm really not! Ugh, fine, fine, I will go to school, let's not mention this again!"

Li Moning failed at playing the victim and bit into her pork rib fiercely.

She looked all puffed up with anger.

Li Moning also heard laughter.

Really, who was so blind as to laugh at someone at a time like this!

Li Moning raised her head resentfully.

But she didn't catch who was laughing, instead...

She saw Xie Wanyi eating with focus.

Xie Wanyi was really eating very focusedly.

And he could make people feel that he was enjoying the food.

After watching for a while, Li Moning asked, "Do you like today's meal very much?"

"Mm, it has the taste of home."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyan snorted lightly, "Starting to butter people up already."

These words were truly unpleasant to hear.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
