Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

Cheng Yizhou shoved the basketball into the drawer, his eyes glancing at Bai Su's test paper.

It's only been less than five minutes since she received the exam paper, and she's already on the second page?

It seems that the "3" in class was not a coincidence.

Cheng Yizhou's eyes darted around twice before turning towards Bai Su.

……

The test paper that Chen Qiang assigned today was of average difficulty, and for Bai Su, it was extremely easy.

However, Bai Su did it very seriously.

Because she didn't know what the content and scope of the current college entrance examination were.

These mock exams can help her understand the scope of the college entrance examination in mathematics.

He was writing intently when the guy next to him leaned over.

"Hey, what's your name?"

Bai Su had no intention of paying any attention to this good-natured, good-for-nothing brat.

The pen tip's movements not only didn't stop, but actually sped up a bit.

Unexpectedly, he simply buried his head in her test paper, staring intently at her with his eyes turned to the side.

Bai Su subconsciously looked up.

He was met with a pair of dark, phoenix-shaped eyes.

His eyes were slightly upturned, and like him, they exuded a cynical and wicked air.

The distance between the two was less than ten centimeters.

"I'm asking you, what's your name?"

Bai Su: What's wrong with this little brat?

But in order to get rid of this brat as soon as possible, she patiently answered, "Bai Su."

"Oh—Bai Su, do you love studying?"

Bai Su stared at him: "Sit up straight and get to the point."

"I sat up straight, and you ignored me." She had just ignored him.

"What exactly do you want?" Bai Su's patience was almost at its limit.

Cheng Yizhou quickly said, "I have a set of questions here. If you do them for me, I'll pay you and promise not to bother you again. How about it?"

He could tell that Bai Su's shoes were washed until they were almost white, which meant that she came from a very ordinary family.

She probably needs money.

He needs someone to help him finish this set of papers.

It's a very fair deal.

Bai Su was lost in thought.

She didn't have much money left, but she needed to buy a cell phone.

Moreover, she does need to do some practice problems.

Two seconds later, she spoke: "Give it to me."

Cheng Yizhou immediately opened the schoolbag hanging behind the chair and took out a stack of test papers.

To Bai Su's surprise, the questions on the test paper were clearly not within the scope of high school mathematics, but rather questions from advanced mathematics.

Many of the questions require the use of physics knowledge.

Let's look at the title again...

There was no title; it was just a blank page.

She asked, puzzled, "Where did you get this question from?"

My family paid for it.

After his explanation, Bai Su understood what had happened.

It turns out that Cheng Yizhou's family is a family of scientific researchers. His father would give him a set of questions every week, and only after completing them could he earn his living expenses for the following week.

He hasn't received any living expenses for many months and is relying entirely on the "help" from other elders to survive.

How much is your weekly allowance?

Cheng Yizhou gestured a number.

"five hundred?"

"fifty thousand."

"..."

"What? Are you scared stiff?" Cheng Yizhou stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, making Bai Su's head ache.

What kind of family would give 50,000 yuan a week for living expenses?

No wonder they spoiled this child so much that he was completely out of control.

Bai Su grabbed his hand and shook him off.

"I can do it for you, but the payment will be split 30/70."

"Isn't that too much? At most, it's 20/80."

Bai Su looked into his eyes: "You've got it wrong. I said you're number three and I'm number seven."

"Ha—" Cheng Yizhou laughed in anger: "Why should I only get 30% of my living expenses?"

"Because besides me, you won't find anyone else in the school who can help you with these problems."

"..."

That's true.

He approached the class representative and Xu Nuo, but neither of them would do it.

As for the internet, you can't find the same question anywhere.

And he... couldn't even understand the question.

He would rather spend his time playing basketball than doing boring homework.

Anyway, he's going to be kicked out of the country eventually, so studying is a waste of time.

"Think it over carefully."

Bai Su picked up her pen and was about to rewrite the question.

Cheng Yizhou grabbed her hand holding the pen, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine! But the first week can only be a trial period. I need to see what you're capable of first."

The questions his dad set were much harder than the ones at school. If Bai Su couldn't answer them, she wouldn't get a single penny.

Bai Su agreed.

Cheng Yizhou raised an eyebrow: "Give me your phone number, I want to add you as a contact."

Bai Su said, "I don't have a cell phone."

"Are you kidding me?"

These days, who doesn't have a cell phone?

But judging from Bai Su's expression, she didn't seem to be joking.

"Depend on--"

She really is a poor girl.

He thought for a moment and tossed his phone over.

"Use mine first, I'll send you a message using my alternate account. Let me know as soon as you've finished the test."

After saying that, he grabbed the basketball from the drawer and went out.

Bai Su ignored him and started looking at the set of questions Cheng Yizhou had given her, but the more she looked at them, the more familiar they seemed.

The question style of this set of questions is so similar to her question style.

She used to work in scientific research and would occasionally give her five apprentices some problems to solve.

These questions are very much in line with her question-setting style.

But it must be a coincidence.

Bai Su didn't think too much about it and started doing the questions.

Cheng Yizhou didn't show up for the rest of the afternoon, and none of the teachers in the class mentioned it. It seemed that skipping class was a common occurrence for Cheng Yizhou.

……

As the school bell rang, Bai Su had already finished almost half of the questions.

She put the test paper into her schoolbag and was about to get up when the class monitor, Xu Nuo, stopped her.

"Bai Su, how do you get home after school?"

Bai Su thought for a moment and said, "Let's take the bus."

She doesn't have much money on her right now, so she has to be careful with her spending.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo immediately smiled and said, "Taking the bus is too tiring. Why don't you ride in my car?"

Since the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, Bai Su smiled in return.

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"

"No way, where do you live?"

Bai Su remembered the Ye family's address and recited it: "Tingjia Garden."

Xu Nuo's smile suddenly stiffened.

She thought that Bai Su's shabby clothes meant her living conditions couldn't be much better, but she never expected that she would live in Tingjia Garden.

The houses there are twice as expensive as hers.

Xu Nuo managed to maintain her smile and led Bai Su into her family's car.

On the way, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you and Cheng Yizhou talk about during the break between the first and second periods?"

Taking money to help with homework is not exactly honorable, so Bai Su vaguely said, "We just talked about some things related to studying."

This doesn't count as lying.

But Xu Nuo immediately assumed that Bai Su was lying.

Cheng Yizhou never reads books, so how could he possibly talk to Bai Su about studying?

Do you think she's stupid?

But she still managed a forced smile: "I see... Cheng Yizhou doesn't like reading, so it's rare for him to discuss academic matters with others."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I get along quite well with Teacher Chen. I'll talk to him tomorrow and ask him to let you change seats. Cheng Yizhou is too noisy and will disturb your studies."

"No need for that, thank you."

For Bai Su, it doesn't matter where she sits.

She came to school just to find out what the college entrance exam is about now.

She had a sufficient amount of knowledge, and once she understood the scope of the exam, she didn't need to study much anymore.

Moreover, she also had a deal to complete with Cheng Yizhou.

Bai Su's refusal made Xu Nuo very unhappy.

Everyone in the class knew that she liked Cheng Yizhou; it was an open secret, and they often teased the two of them together.

In Xu Nuo's heart, Cheng Yizhou was already half her boyfriend.

However, Bai Su's appearance filled her with a sense of crisis.

Now that she has made it so clear, Bai Su still refuses.

Is he genuinely stupid, or is he pretending?

"But……"

Just as Xu Nuo was about to speak again, his phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at her phone instinctively, but there were no calls. Instead, she saw Bai Su pull a phone out of her pocket.

At a glance, Xu Nuo recognized it as Cheng Yizhou's phone.

It's very easy to spot because of the basketball logo on the back cover of the phone.

In an instant, she couldn't even maintain her fake smile.

"Feed?" Bai Su held up her phone, and a monkey's voice came from the other end: "Who are you?"

"I am Bai Su."

"Bai Su, how come you have Zhou Ge's phone?"

He lent it to me for a few days.

"Oh... I see... then I'll hang up now."

After the call ended, Bai Su put away her phone, pondering for a moment how she would immediately begin developing an antidote for Pei Yuanshan once she returned home.

She already had a rough prescription in mind, completely unaware of Xu Nuo's darkened face.

The car soon arrived at Tingjia Garden.

Bai Su thanked Xu Nuo.

"Thank you for taking me home, Xu."

"You're welcome..." Xu Nuo's hands were clenched tightly under his sleeves, and the smile on his face was even more stiff than his mask.

Bai Su was confused, but thinking that Xu Nuo didn't seem happy to take her home, she decided to go home by herself from now on.

After saying goodbye, Bai Su carried her schoolbag and entered the residential area, unaware that Xu Nuo had taken a picture of her from behind.

After taking the photo, Xu Nuo immediately sent it to the most gossipy female classmate in the class.

"It seems like the new classmate is being kept by a rich guy..."

"What?! This is huge gossip!"

Xu Nuo replied, "It's just a guess, it's not certain yet, so don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."

Xu Nuo knew, however, that this big mouth would definitely tell everyone.

She curled her lips into a smile, a cold glint in her eyes.

She wouldn't have done this otherwise, but Bai Su was shameless enough to use Cheng Yizhou's phone.

This is a small lesson!

Back home, Xu Nuo was in a much better mood.

However, as soon as I entered the door, I heard my parents sighing.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?" Xu Nuo walked over and asked.

With a distressed look on her face, Mrs. Xu said, "There's been a problem with our order with Pei's company. The person in charge is making our company pay compensation..."

"How much compensation do you want?"

Xu's mother didn't give a specific number, only saying, "We might have to sell the house."

Xu Nuo was struck dumb: "How could this happen..."

Mr. Xu said, "It hasn't come to that yet. Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. This order is a contract with Old Master Pei. He's in the hospital right now. As long as he wakes up, I'll go and beg him. Maybe we won't have to pay compensation..."

Xu Nuo's eyes turned red with anxiety.

When will he wake up?

"Who knows? Hopefully he'll wake up soon..."

On the other side, as soon as Bai Su entered the room, she heard Ye Yixue complaining.

"Sister, really, how could you say such big things?"
