The monkey's mouth was the fastest: "He's a new transfer student in our class."

"Oh..." Old Master Cheng nodded, not really thinking about why the name sounded familiar.

Cheng Yizhou curled his lip: "I'm asking you, where is she?"

The monkey then answered Cheng Yizhou's question: "It seems Bai Su had something come up and went back first. Did you need to see her?"

"fine!"

He heard from the monkey that Bai Su had only been in the capital for two days since arriving from the fishing village.

So he was afraid she would get lost if she wandered off alone.

But then he thought, Ye Baisu isn't stupid; she can use her phone for navigation even if she doesn't know the way, so he stopped worrying about her.

The doctor came in at this time and talked to Grandpa Cheng about Cheng Yizhou's condition.

When the old man heard that there was nothing seriously wrong and that he just needed to rest for three days, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your help, doctor."

The doctor nodded and instructed, "Don't let him engage in strenuous exercise these next few days, and especially don't let him fall or bump into the injured area to avoid further injury."

"I understand, doctor."

"Alright, now that the patient is awake, you can take him with you."

Grandpa Cheng responded and instructed the bodyguard to process Cheng Yizhou's discharge from the hospital.

He then went to the corridor and made a phone call to Cheng Wuyan.

However, the secretary answered the phone.

"Sir, I'm so sorry, the chairman is in a meeting inside right now..."

"What time is it? Still in a meeting? Get him to answer the phone!"

The secretary looked troubled, holding the phone as she said, "Sir, today's meeting is very important; it concerns a major project..."

The old man took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger, and said, "Then tell him to finish his work and go home immediately."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Cheng was so angry he wanted to smash it.

Hearing the noise, Cheng Yizhou, who was inside the terrifying room, was worried about him and put his phone back in his pocket.

But for some inexplicable reason, he suddenly remembered why the name of the new classmate his grandson mentioned sounded familiar.

Ye Baisu... Baisu...

Isn't Bai Shijie's granddaughter named Bai Su?

But this new classmate's surname is Ye, so it seems they are not the same person.

It's been so many years since I last saw her. I wonder how my senior sister is doing now.

She lives a secluded life by the sea, far from the hustle and bustle; her life must be more comfortable than mine, right?

Unlike him, who, despite his advanced age, sometimes still has to help with company affairs and worry about the conflicts between his son and grandson...

Just as his assistant finished processing his discharge, Old Master Cheng composed himself, forced a smile, and went back into the ward.

However, Cheng Yizhou still noticed something amiss.

"Grandpa, did you call my dad?"

"Hehe... he did call... he'll come straight home to see you as soon as he's done with his work."

"If he's busy, it's fine to tell him not to come back. My injuries aren't serious anyway."

Grandpa Cheng looked at his grandson and sighed softly.

His son always felt that Yizhou was being unreasonable. But how was he being unreasonable?

He is clearly a very sensible child.

"Let's go back first." Grandpa Cheng didn't discuss the topic anymore. After having someone send the monkey back to school, he took Cheng Yizhou back to the Cheng family home.

At the same time, Bai Su bought herself a mobile phone at a mobile phone store near her home.

The phone is the latest model, and its configuration is already the highest on the market.

With the times changing rapidly, she needs a top-of-the-line mobile phone to support her hacking skills.

She's just started learning hacking and needs to hone her skills; a good phone is essential for that.

Cheng Yizhou's phone is also very good, but it doesn't belong to her, and she will return it tomorrow.

After turning on her phone and inserting the SIM card, Bai Su went straight back to the Ye family home.

Dong Suying is playing mahjong at home with her three wives.

Upon seeing Bai Su return, her face immediately darkened.

You're back so early, what else could it be but skipping class?

However, because there were other people present, she did not make a scene on the spot and pretended not to see Bai Su.

However, the other three ladies spotted Bai Su at a glance.

There's plenty of subtle and overt rivalry among the wives, so some busybodies deliberately said, "Oh? Is it that late already? The kids are all out of school? I don't remember us playing mahjong for more than a few rounds."

Another woman glanced at the time instinctively and said, "It's only three o'clock."

"Only three o'clock? Then this child...did they skip school?"

Dong Suying was immediately extremely embarrassed.

She glared at Bai Su fiercely, her eyes filled with disgust.

This daughter has caused trouble every single day since she came back.

She truly regretted bringing her back.

No, her biggest regret is giving birth to Bai Su!

The woman observed Dong Suying's expression, inwardly sneering, but outwardly speaking with feigned concern, "Skipping school isn't a good thing. Suying, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you can't be too lenient with children this age. Today they skip school, but who knows what they might do tomorrow?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Dong Suying stood up and called out to Bai Su.

"You skipped class, fine, but didn't you even greet those older women?"

Bai Su didn't want to disturb them, but upon hearing this, she turned around and walked over.

Hello, aunties.

The three ladies immediately smiled and said, "Hello, you are very beautiful."

The woman, always eager for drama, chimed in, "Being too beautiful isn't always a good thing. Bai Su, you must have just transferred here, right? How come you're skipping classes right from the start?"

Dong Suying was even more annoyed.

She was having a very lucky day, winning several big hands.

But with Bai Su's return, her good mood was completely ruined.

"Do I take you to school so you can skip class? If you didn't want to study, you should have told me earlier, and I wouldn't have bothered taking you! It would have saved me time and energy!"

Bai Su's dark eyes met Dong Suying's gaze coldly.

She has absolutely no trust in her own daughter.

Even if there's no trust, can't you ask one more question?

Bai Su said in a cold voice, "I didn't skip class. Something happened in the class, so I came back temporarily."

"Something happened in the class? What could possibly happen in the class? Why is it that something happened at school just because you went there?" Dong Suying clearly didn't believe her.

The woman added fuel to the fire, saying, "Bai Su, skipping class is a small matter, lying is a big deal. Quickly apologize to your mother, and we'll let this matter go."

Bai Su looked at her expressionlessly.

"Our family matters are none of your business, are they?"

The woman choked, her face turning cold and somber.

"I was trying to teach you a lesson with good intentions, and this is how you react? Suying, your daughter is truly hopeless!"

Dong Suying suddenly felt that she had lost all face.

She angrily shouted, "Ye Baisu! Apologize to your Aunt Zhao right now!"

"I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize?! She's the one who should apologize, and of course, you too. You assumed I skipped class without even asking what happened. Do you even deserve to be a mother?"

"You, you..."

Enraged, Dong Suying raised her hand to slap Bai Su.

But how could Bai Su let her hit him?

He dodged it with a sidestep.

Dong Suying became even more furious.

"You still have the nerve to hide?" She rushed over to grab Bai Su, but was stopped by the other two ladies.

"The child is already so grown up, don't hit her, save her some face."

"Yes, let's talk things out."

After some persuasion, Dong Suying's anger subsided slightly.

She cannot make a move in front of guests.

At the very least, we have to wait for the guests to leave first.

Bai Su is, after all, her daughter. If she hit her in public, Bai Su would lose face, but wouldn't she also lose face?

Thinking of this, Dong Suying temporarily ignored Bai Su and first asked the three ladies to leave the house.

"I'm so sorry to have you see this..."

"How could that be? What child hasn't made mistakes?"

But the troublemaking woman didn't forget to say, "It's good for a child to admit their mistakes and correct them, but the problem is, you have to make her realize her mistakes."

Dong Suying forced a smile.

After she calmed down a bit, she realized that the woman had been trying to provoke her.

She knew that this woman's daughter was a rival to Cheryl at school.

This man was overjoyed to have a daughter like Bai Su, which is why he added fuel to the fire and waited to see her make a fool of herself.

"I will teach her a good lesson..."

"That's right."

The lady walked away with a smile.

The schadenfreude in his eyes almost overflowed from their sockets.

Dong Suying was furious, but she hated Bai Su even more.

If it weren't for Bai Su, how would the other party have had the opportunity to add fuel to the fire?

Seeing the group walk away, Dong Suying's smile immediately vanished. She closed the door with an icy expression and returned to the living room.

However, the living room was empty; Bai Su wasn't waiting for her there at all.

"That brat!!"

Dong Suying was furious. She rushed upstairs and ran to Bai Su's room.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, his cell phone rang urgently.

Fearing it might be an important call, Dong Suying could only suppress her anger and answer the phone.

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you Ye Baisu's parent?"

Dong Suying was taken aback, but then quickly realized that Bai Su must have skipped class and the school teachers had come to her.

Looking back, she raised Xue'er from the age of six to seventeen, and Xue'er never caused any trouble at school.

There has never been a single instance of a teacher calling to reprimand someone.

Bai Su had only been home for less than three days when her teacher called her.

She simply couldn't understand how her daughter could turn out like this!

Didn't that old woman claim she would take good care of Bai Su?

Is this what they mean by "being able to lead well"?

Dong Suying was disappointed in her son, but dared not show it too obviously in front of her teacher. She could only bite the bullet and say, "It's me, I'm Ye Baisu's mother."

"Hello Mrs. Ye, I'm Chen Qiang, Ye's homeroom teacher. Something happened in class today, so I'm calling to let you know."

Something happened?

Not because of skipping class?

She hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Chen Qiang on the other end of the phone said, "It's like this, Ye, she's new to the school and hasn't quite settled into her new class yet. She got into a little argument with a female classmate, but accidentally caused another male classmate to get injured and be hospitalized..."
