51 Accepting Jiang Xue as a Student

On the one hand, Jiang Xue was astounded by the sky-high tutoring fees; on the other, she was sceptical that a basic art tutorial would cost so much. Moreover, why was the boss behaving so differently? Earlier, he had been the picture of politeness, eager to secure a big business deal, but now, he was as cold as the Antarctic.

Li Si sniffed arrogantly as he said, "It's not an outrageous sum. 350,000 yuan is hardly much. If you can't afford it, then you're welcome to look elsewhere for cheaper options."

In a much softer voice, he muttered, "Is she really the Young Miss of Kunlun Construction's boss? She can't even afford 350,000 yuan. Isn't that a little too shabby? Humph!"

Jiang Xue flushed in embarrassment at Li Si's words. She snuck a glance at Liu Cheng seated beside her and resolved herself. She could not lose face in front of Liu Cheng, or all her effort building her image would crumble.
