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

Cheng Wuyan, the father, was very strict in disciplining his two sons.

Especially with Cheng Yizhou, she mostly adopted an encouraging approach to education for her stepson.

Under his deliberate guidance, Cheng Yizhou believed that this was a sign of Cheng Wuyan's favoritism, so he became increasingly rebellious.

Cheng Yizhou was all talk and no action; the most outrageous thing he ever did was skip class.

Therefore, even though Cheng Wuyan often lost his temper, he did not completely despise his biological son.

Early romantic relationships are something Cheng Wuyan cannot tolerate.

He is a very responsible man and believes that dating too early is irresponsible towards girls.

Once it's confirmed that Cheng Yizhou is indeed in a relationship, then Cheng Wuyan will likely completely reject him...

Confirmation is simple: just get close to Ye Yixue.

She must know the girl in the photo for this photo to exist.

Cheng Dong opened his textbook in a good mood and began to review.

……

Beijing No. 3 Middle School.

Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou entered the classroom the instant the bell rang.

Chen Qiang had already arrived in the classroom. When he saw Bai Su, his face immediately darkened.

"you……"

He had barely uttered the words when he saw Cheng Yizhou behind Bai Su, and immediately swallowed them back.

"Hurry up and go inside, it's time to start morning reading."

The two entered the classroom one after the other.

Xu Nuo, sitting in his seat, saw the two of them arrive at the classroom at the same time, and his face instantly darkened.

Ye Baisu was definitely doing it on purpose!

She knew perfectly well that she liked Cheng Yizhou, but she still interfered.

Turning her head, she saw the most gossipy girl in the class whispering something to her deskmate, and Xu Nuo's lips immediately curled into a cold smile.

Just you wait, Ye Baisu, you'll soon learn your lesson!

Bai Su was completely unaware and returned to her seat.

After Chen Qiang left, Bai Su asked Cheng Yizhou, "Did you receive your living expenses?"

Cheng Yizhou glanced at her, about to say that she was obsessed with money and that all she talked about was money, when her phone suddenly vibrated.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the monkey wink at him, so he took out his phone and glanced at it.

Upon seeing the words inside, Cheng Yizhou's expression changed slightly.

"Brother Zhou, I found out. The new classmate has a really tragic background."

Her biological father died before she was born, and she was later abandoned by her biological mother. Her biological grandmother recently passed away, and only then was her biological mother brought her from the countryside to the capital.

Her biological mother remarried long ago and has another daughter who is studying at the Imperial High School.

No wonder your shoes look so worn out...

"Brother Zhou, please be nicer to her. She's quite pitiful. Could you take care of her?"

Cheng Yizhou raised his head and glanced at the monkey indifferently.

His own family situation is a complete mess, so how can he have the leisure to take care of others?

He put his phone away, but when he looked up at Bai Su again, a hint of sympathy still showed on his face.

No wonder they're so poor they don't even have enough to eat or a cell phone.

He took out his phone again and sent a transfer to Bai Su.

"It's yours now."

Bai Su took out her phone and saw that Cheng Yizhou had transferred 50,000 yuan to her.

She frowned and said, "Isn't it supposed to be a 30/70 split?"

He had 50,000 yuan in pocket money, how come he transferred it all to her?

"You talk too much nonsense!" Cheng Yizhou took off his coat, folded it up to use as a pillow, lay down, and started to sleep.

Seeing this, Bai Su stopped saying anything, but quickly transferred the extra money back.

She only takes what she's entitled to.

The morning self-study session ended quickly, but Cheng Yizhou was still not fully awake.

Bai Su is continuing to recite—

She doesn't need extra help with her science subjects, but she still needs to relearn subjects like Chinese.

So many years have passed, and the textbooks are completely different now.

However, she was born with an exceptional memory, and with the support of a system in her previous life, she could easily learn it in a month.

Just then, Xu Nuo walked over.

She rested one hand on Cheng Yizhou's head, and with the other hand, she reached around Cheng Yizhou's head and patted Bai Su's shoulder.

"Bai Su, I forgot to add you as a friend yesterday, let's add each other?"

"it is good."

Bai Su didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement.

After getting Cheng Yizhou's phone yesterday, she registered a new account herself.

The profile picture is the system avatar, and the nickname is "It's not too late".

Song Shiyi was her name in her previous life.

In her previous life, she had many research projects and many things she wanted to do. Now that she's been reborn, it's not too late for anything.

Xu Nuo's nickname is her own name.

After adding each other as friends, Xu Nuo did not leave, but instead chatted with Bai Su to make conversation.

Bai Su was somewhat conflicted.

On the one hand, she didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of her new classmates; on the other hand, she wanted to memorize more texts.

Just as Cheng Yizhou was hesitating whether to interrupt Xu Nuo, he raised his head.

"Don't disturb my sleep, if you want to talk, go outside!" The tone was clearly angry.

He was saying this to Bai Su.

But her inner voice told her that Cheng Yizhou's anger was directed at her.

She fought back her tears, turned around, and left.

Back in my seat, my nose suddenly felt sore.

Cheng Yizhou wasn't like this to her before...

She used to make excuses to come to the back row to talk to the monkeys, but Cheng Yizhou never said anything like "get out and talk."

It's all because of Ye Baisu!

Xu Nuo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with hatred.

Another class has passed, and it's time for the long break.

The weather is bad today; it's drizzling outside, so the morning exercise break has been cancelled.

Xu Nuo came out of the bathroom and happened to hear Monkey talking to Cheng Yizhou in the hallway outside.

She unconsciously slowed her pace.

Then I heard the monkey say, "Brother Zhou, did you see the message I sent you? The new classmate's family is really pitiful, please don't bully him."

She wanted to hear what Cheng Yizhou had to say, but the two of them had already left.

Xu Nuo narrowed his eyes and found a moment to speak with the monkey alone.

"You're saying that Ye Baisu is pitiful?"

The monkey looked at her: "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"It's nothing, I just find her pleasing to the eye and want to be friends with her. But she seems quite withdrawn, and when I overheard you say that, I became a little curious."

The monkey lowered its guard and told her about Bai Su's family situation.

Xu Nuo immediately said, "I see. I'll take better care of her."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, class monitor." The monkey chuckled.

Xu Nuo glanced at him: "Why are you so concerned about Bai Su now?"

"I...I'm just responding to the teacher's call, isn't that right? Didn't the teacher say we should be united and friendly?" Two pink clouds appeared on her face.

Xu Nuo chuckled and walked away.

But it felt like something was stuck in my chest.

When he was in his second year of high school, Monkey wrote her a love letter, but she rejected him.

Turning his head, the monkey found himself in love with Bai Su...

The fire in her heart was like a snowball, growing bigger and bigger.

But soon, she came up with an idea.

……

It was lunchtime soon.

At No. 3 Middle School, meals are paid by swiping a meal card. Bai Su's meal card hadn't been processed yet, so she went to the school's convenience store, bought a sandwich and a carton of milk, and found a quiet spot to eat slowly.

When we finished eating and returned to the classroom, no one else had come back yet.

Taking advantage of the quiet, Bai Su began to recite the text.

Before long, the students returned one after another.

But not long after, a crying sound was heard.

She looked up and saw that several classmates had surrounded the crying girl.

Bai Su didn't pay any attention and quickly looked away to continue reciting her lessons.

No matter what happened, she didn't even know the other person's name, so any comfort she offered would be pale and futile.

However, not long after, the girl who was crying on the table suddenly stood up and came to her seat.

Did you take my phone?

The girl still had tear stains on her face, but her eyes revealed a clear glint of malice.

Bai Su put down her textbook and looked up at the other person.

She was certain that she didn't know this girl at all.

All I knew was that she was in the same class as me.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The girl sneered and said loudly, "My phone is lost, and you were the first person to return to the classroom. I have the right to suspect that you stole my phone."

Bai Su's cold and aloof expression revealed a deep and brooding darkness.

"I was indeed the first one back in the classroom, but I didn't take your phone."

"You're lying!"

The girl raised her voice, glanced around at the students watching the commotion, and said, "You all don't know yet, do you? She came from Xinghua Fishing Village. Her family is very poor, so she found a man to keep her."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Su's eyes.

"Do you know that spreading rumors is illegal?"

"Heh, so stealing isn't illegal?"

"I told you, I've never seen your phone, let alone taken it."

"But nothing had ever gone missing from the class before you transferred here!"

"You're concluding I stole your phone based on this alone?"

Bai Su's eyes were bright and sharp, like an invisible mountain, suppressing the girl's initial confidence.

But after much deliberation, she still concluded that Bai Su had stolen the phone.

Xu Nuo told her that Bai Su's family was very poor, which was why she found a man outside.

In addition, other classmates said that Bai Su was the first to return to the classroom. She believed that these two points alone were conclusive evidence.

"If you didn't steal it, then stand up, and I'll check your table and I'll know."

Bai Su lowered her eyebrows.

"You can search my desk, but you'll have to search everyone's desks too."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately voiced their dissatisfaction.

"Why are you searching my phone? I didn't take hers."

"that is!"

Many students keep a secret in their desks and don't want their desks to be searched.

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately turned her anger towards Bai Su.

"If I don't find my phone on your desk, I'll look elsewhere, of course. But I have to search your desk first, since you're the prime suspect."

What if I say no?

The girl's patience was completely gone. She reached out to grab Bai Su's arm, but at that moment, a tall figure suddenly stepped forward and pulled her away.

"Zhang Susu, what's wrong with you?"

The person who arrived was Cheng Yizhou.

He was about to skip his afternoon class when Monkey called him, saying that Bai Su had been accused of stealing something, so he immediately ran back.

Seeing that it was Cheng Yizhou, Zhang Susu felt slightly uncomfortable.

Like many girls, she liked Cheng Yizhou.

"I'm not crazy, I just lost my phone. I suspect Bai Su stole it, but she wouldn't let me search her table, so I..."

Zhang Susu was afraid that Cheng Yizhou would think that she had bullied the new classmate, so she quickly recounted what had happened.

She knew Cheng Yizhou wouldn't like her, but she was confident that he would definitely be on her side.
