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

Sun Yuze didn't try to hide anything from Cheng Yizhou when he spoke.

He was born to admire the strong; he respected anyone who excelled in studies or had outstanding abilities, even if that person was just a three-year-old child.

But he wouldn't even glance at someone who lacks ambition.

Cheng Yizhou's face immediately turned ashen.

"Hey! Who are you talking to? What gives you the right to...?"

"Alright, alright." Bai Su knew Cheng Yizhou's temper and had also figured out Sun Yuze to some extent.

He cherishes talent, but he speaks and acts very directly and is not tactful enough, which makes him too straightforward and disliked by others.

Needless to say, Cheng Yizhou was like a gas cylinder that would explode at the slightest touch; you had to handle him gently.

These two people are likely to start fighting when they meet.

She pulled Cheng Yizhou back before things got worse, and then introduced him to Sun Yuze: "This is my deskmate. He's actually quite studious, but he just loves to play."

"Eager to learn?" Cheng Yizhou looked at her, then at Sun Yuze, and sneered.

It seems he arrived at an inopportune time.

"I'm leaving."

Sun Yuze turned to go to the motorcycle, but Bai Su grabbed his sleeve tightly, preventing him from leaving.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

"Wait a minute, I need to talk to you."

Cheng Yizhou was furious; he had been looked down upon for no reason.

He should have left immediately.

To avoid being disliked!

But for some reason, even though Bai Sula could have broken free of his strength, he didn't move.

Seeing that Cheng Yizhou had temporarily calmed down, Bai Su said to Sun Yuze, "Mr. Sun, thank you for bringing me back today. I won't keep you from going back to rest any longer."

Sun Yuze glanced at Bai Su's hand tugging at Chen Yizhou's clothes, wanting to say something, but swallowed his words.

He has no right to interfere in Bai Su's private life right now; he only hopes that she won't be deceived by men because of her young age.

He wanted a top-notch hacker, not a love-struck woman who would die for a man.

I hope Bai Su won't end up like that.

Otherwise, he would have misjudged the situation.

"Okay, then you should go home early too. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, drive carefully."

Bai Su watched Sun Yuze get into the car.

As the car drove away, Cheng Yizhou said sarcastically, "Wipe your drool, it's almost dripping onto your clothes."

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached to wipe her mouth, but there was nothing there.

She then realized that Cheng Yizhou was mocking her.

She didn't argue with the child, and she wasn't angry when she was mocked. She just said, "Go wait for me at that convenience store we went to last time. I'll go back and get something for you."

"What is it?"

As soon as she asked the question, Bai Su had already walked into the residential area.

"That brat..." Cheng Yizhou was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he went to the convenience store cursing.

Fortunately, Bai Su returned shortly afterward.

"What did you go to get?"

Bai Su first took out a cell phone from her pocket, the very one Cheng Yizhou had lent her.

"I bought a new phone, here's this back for you. Thank you for lending it to me."

Cheng Yizhou didn't answer, and his expression turned very ugly.

"So you've hooked up with another sugar daddy and no longer need me, huh?"

Bai Su frowned: "Cheng Yizhou, can't you at least have a little tact in your speech?"

"How am I being unreasonable? I'm just stating the facts. You dare say you're not interested in that guy? Only you would be interested in such an old man."

Bai Su stared at Cheng Yizhou's face for a while.

"Are you mistaken?"

"What did I misunderstand? You were practically drooling when you looked at that guy."

"You can misunderstand me, but don't misunderstand Mr. Sun."

Cheng Yizhou found it unbelievable.

"Oh, you're protecting him now? You've only been in the capital for a few days? You've only known him for a few days?"

"I submitted my resume to him today and I'm about to sign with his company. If he finds out about your misunderstanding, you might ruin the job he's going to offer me."

CV?

Work?

Cheng Yizhou realized that he had indeed misunderstood Bai Su and that "Mr. Sun".

However, he was still somewhat unhappy.

"Are you that short of money? You're about to take the college entrance exam, and you still need to find a job?"

"His company has a promising market prospect."

"You're interested in his company, but what does he see in you? You're not even eighteen yet. Why would such a promising company hire you?"

Bai Su nodded in agreement: "You've finally developed some brains."

That's quite an achievement to have analyzed this far.

Cheng Yizhou nearly jumped up: "What do you mean? I'm worried you've been scammed, and you're mocking me?"

"I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just telling the truth, you have indeed improved. Actually, you are quite intelligent, you just haven't been using your intelligence in the right way. If you study hard, you will definitely be able to learn well too."

"..." Why did he feel that Ye Baisu's way of speaking was very similar to his grandfather's?

"Hacking techniques."

"What?" Bai Su blurted out this question out of the blue, and Cheng Yizhou didn't react for a moment.

"I said, he was interested in my hacking skills."

"What kind of hacker could you possibly have..." Cheng Yizhou suddenly remembered Bai Su's humiliating behavior in class earlier that day.

She hacked into the class's surveillance system with her phone and projected the video onto the projector.

This definitely requires hacking skills.

But surely it's not to the point where a "promising company" would hire her right now?

But it doesn't seem impossible.

The questions his father set were very difficult, but Bai Su finished them in just half a day.

She seems...to be really smart.

For some reason, Cheng Yizhou suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

He suppressed his discomfort and asked Bai Su, "You're going to be doing my homework and working odd jobs at that place, aren't you going to prepare for the college entrance exam?"

"There's no conflict. I don't need to work for him full-time. I just need to help out when the company needs me."

"How much does he pay you?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "I can't tell you that."

Cheng Yizhou glanced at her and turned his head away.

Bai Su didn't know where his anger and awkwardness came from, and just thought he was still a child.

Children are like that; they can't be as close to their best friends as they are to others.

Since Cheng Yizhou considers her a good friend, she should be more understanding of him.

"Alright, don't be angry. I have something else to give you." Bai Su tugged at his sleeve.

Cheng Yizhou then slowly turned his face.

"Is there anything else you want to return to me?" The tone was still barbed.

Bai Su didn't argue with him, and simply took something out of another pocket.

It was packaged in a transparent, sealed plastic bag, and the contents inside were a dark, paste-like mass.

"Where did you buy this food? It looks so shabby!" Cheng Yizhou said with a look of disgust, but he still took the food back.

Bai Su explained to him, "It's not for eating, it's medicine. Your shoulder is injured, and I saw that the hospital only prescribed a regular ointment. Ointments have a pain-relieving effect, but the therapeutic effect is generally limited. This medicine of mine is better than the one prescribed by the hospital. I made it myself. Go back, take a shower, and try applying it."

Cheng Yizhou was very surprised.

She can even make medicine?

"Is it poisonous?" He held up the transparent bag containing the plaster and examined it carefully.

I couldn't tell what was inside.

"Don't worry, I still need to make money off you, I won't poison you. It wouldn't do me any good if you died."

"...I think you've fallen for money." His tone was still disdainful, but he secretly and carefully put the small bag of medicine into his pocket.

"You're a rich young master, you don't lack money, of course you don't know the importance of money."

Do I look like I'm not short of money?

If he wasn't short of money, why would he ask Bai Su to write exam papers for a mere 50,000 yuan?

He's almost starving!

Bai Su pursed her lips, not continuing the topic, but instead asked, "Why are you out again in the middle of the night? Did you have another fight with your family?"

"No!" he stubbornly insisted.

But Bai Su saw through it at a glance.

Knowing that Cheng Yizhou wouldn't speak up on his own initiative, she simply started talking about her situation.

"I haven't been able to go to school for the past few days. My family has locked me in my room and won't let me out."

Why?

"Because of the promise."

Cheng Yizhou couldn't understand: "Xu Nuo did something wrong, what does it have to do with you? Why are you being punished? Why aren't you allowed to leave the house?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Because they think I was in the wrong, that I started the trouble."

"Then why don't you explain?"

"I explained, but they didn't believe me."

"How could parents be like this?" Cheng Yizhou was furious. "Sure enough, stepmothers and stepfathers are all the same!"

He cursed Bai Su's parents, and also his own father and stepmother.

"Actually... my situation is the same as yours, or even worse."

Unbeknownst to him, Bai Su had "pried open" his mouth.

The stepmother was mentioned, and then Cheng Dong was brought up again.

He also talked about what happened that night.

"He's convinced I got into a fight at school that's why I ended up in the hospital. Ridiculous, isn't it?"

Bai Su only learned about his family situation at this time.

After a moment of silence, she said, "At least your grandfather is on your side, while I have no one on my side. Does thinking about it this way make you feel better?"

"..." will not.

He wouldn't feel good if she wasn't doing well.

On the contrary... my mood got worse.

It's just not the kind of bad that's violent.

"What can I do to help you?" Cheng Yizhou couldn't help but ask, but fearing that Bai Su would misunderstand, he said, "I can't bear to see others suffer so much."

Bai Su smiled.

This kid is actually very kind at heart.

She said, "I will handle my own affairs. Finding Mr. Sun is my solution."

Cheng Yizhou looked at her and suddenly understood why she looked at Sun Yuze with that kind of gaze.

It wasn't because she liked it, but because this was the path Bai Su had chosen for herself to reach her ideal life.

That's why the way she looked at Sun Yuze was different from how she looked at others.

However, he mistakenly believed that Bai Su liked the man surnamed Sun.

Awkward, and a little frustrated.

Bai Su found her direction and path to the future, but for him, the road ahead was shrouded in mystery.

But then Bai Su said, "As for you, I have thought of a way to resolve the current situation for you."

"What method?"

Bai Su kept him in suspense: "I'll tell you tomorrow. Go back today, apply the medicine I gave you, and get a good night's sleep. Don't think about anything."
