Chapter 823 - 176: Thick-skinned_3
Li Baoxiang was elated, knowing that Mo Heng was willing to study with him; this meant he could pass the examination this year. Although he felt somewhat embarrassed and resentful about not being allowed to stay in Liu’er Alley, he rationalized, "After all, Chang Yonglin grew up calling Pei Qin ’sister’ from a young age, so it doesn’t matter where he stays. Perhaps they think I am an outsider and fear that once I stay there, Bao Lian would take the opportunity to visit!"
At this point, Grandma Li fell silent.
Old Man Li scolded her, "They are not to be trifled with. Go to Zhang Shiqian’s house and tell Bao Lian not to ruin Baoxiang’s affairs. Wasn’t the last incident shameful enough?"
Grandma Li pursed her lips, "Bao Lian only asked him for a little help; if he didn’t want to help, that would have been the end of it. Instead, he embarrassed Baoxiang, which I think was deliberate!"
"Mother! I’ve finally got him to agree to study with me, so please don’t mess this up. If they hold a grudge and trip me up in the examination, my life will be over!"
"I know, I know!" Grandma Li responded with a hint of impatience.
After making arrangements, she went to Zhang Shiqian’s house to find Li Baolian.
Upon hearing that Li Baoxiang would study with Mo Heng in Liu’er Alley every day, Li Baolian’s eyes shone, "I’ll bring snacks to my brother!"
