Xie Yuanjiu came to her side and whispered, "She is indeed young, but as I've told you, Shen Ningning has lived a miserable life since childhood. That's why she's more cunning than others and likes to compete for everything."
As she spoke, Xie Yuanjiu patted Li Yuyi's hand.
"Don't be angry anymore. How about I apologize to you on her behalf?"
Li Yuyi looked at Xie Yuanjiu.
"Why should you be the one to apologize? It's not your fault. I feel so wronged on your behalf. To think the Xie family sent you back to your ancestral home all for a wild brat like that."
Xie Yuanjiu lowered her gaze, staring blankly at a random spot, a profound sorrow in her eyes.
She said nothing, yet Li Yuyi could feel the immense injustice she had suffered.
Li Yuyi squeezed her hand. "Don't worry. When I return to the Capital City next year, I'll take you with me."
Xie Yuanjiu shook her head. "My uncle drove me out. Without his permission, how could I dare go back so casually?"
