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

But now, Ye Xiaofeng's words have put Bai Su in a dilemma.

If she insists on leaving now, then she will be considered unreasonable.

Regardless of whether Xu Nuo and Cheng Yizhou's matter can be clarified in the future, the problem of her being kicked out lies entirely with her. She insisted on leaving, and Ye Xiaofeng tried to persuade her to stay.

But she couldn't do exactly what Ye Xiaofeng said.

From the very first day she arrived at the Ye family home, she wanted to leave.

Now that the opportunity has been presented to her, she has no reason to turn it down.

Just as Bai Su made up her mind to leave no matter what infamy she might bear, Ye Xiaofeng's phone rang at just the right moment.

The caller ID showed his secretary.

Ye Xiaofeng stood up and went to the window to make a phone call.

Dong Suying then seized the opportunity to say, "Your father is only keeping you here because of me. If you have any shame, you should move out."

He added, "The apartment I'm giving you to live in is one we bought before our business succeeded. It's a two-bedroom apartment, enough for you by yourself. I'll say it again: if you're truly determined to change yourself, I'll bring you back."

She spoke very quickly, afraid that her husband would come back and start stirring up trouble again.

We agreed to be bad guys together, but now she's the only one being made to be the bad guy!

A mocking glint appeared in Bai Su's eyes.

"Since that's the case..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiaofeng returned.

Bai Su thought she was about to go through another round of trouble, but then she heard Ye Xiaofeng ask her in a deep voice with a dark face, "Bai Su, is the little girl you got into trouble with surnamed Xu?"

Bai Su didn't know why he suddenly asked this, but she still answered, "Yes."

"Snapped!"

Ye Xiaofeng slammed his palm heavily on the coffee table.

The water in the glass visibly sloshed around a few times.

Even Dong Suying was startled.

"What happened?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!" Ye Xiaofeng's pretense was ripped apart by the loss of his interests, and he angrily retorted, "Do you even know who that female classmate surnamed Xu is?!"

Dong Suying: "This... I don't know..."

"She's the eldest daughter of the Xu Group!"

Dong Suying was even more confused: "But wasn't the matter already resolved?"

"Solve my ass!" Ye Xiaofeng cursed, "I was finally about to get that land back, but the Xu family interfered and tried to take it away too!"

Dong Suying stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"How could this be... Didn't we just have dinner with Deputy Director Sun?"

"You know he's just a deputy director!"

"You mean... the Xu family got through to Director Lin?"

"That's right! We have to 'thank' your good daughter for this! If it weren't for her, how could the Xu family have suddenly taken a liking to this land?"

As he spoke, Ye Xiaofeng glared fiercely at Bai Su.

When his own interests are harmed, he doesn't care about being a good stepfather or saving face.

All he wants now is for Bai Su to get out of the Ye family!

He had thought it through. Only if Bai Su got out could he find the Xu family and tell them that he had severely punished Bai Su—kicked her out of the house.

The Xu family might back down.

That piece of land is indeed very profitable, but the initial investment and risks are also very high.

Given the status of the Xu Group, they could have easily bid for a better piece of land instead of this one in the western suburbs.

It's obvious that the Xu family came for Bai Su.

Therefore, he was no longer willing to pretend.

"You!" Ye Xiaofeng pointed at Bai Su's face, "There's no need to wait until tomorrow. You move out right now, immediately! And after you leave, you're not allowed to mention your relationship with the Ye family to anyone. We won't call you back until we're sure you've truly improved!"

Dong Suying was equally furious.

Tonight, she was so busy with dinner with Deputy Director Sun that her face was practically frozen from smiling.

Just when this project was about to be finalized, Bai Su ruined it again.

She is now absolutely certain that Bai Su is incompatible with her and with the Ye family.

As long as Bai Su stays at home, there will never be a moment of peace in the house.

"Hurry up and pack your bags, let's go!" Dong Suying urged coldly, as if she were talking to a cockroach she wished she could tear to pieces, not to her daughter.

Bai Su felt a tightness and discomfort in her chest again.

This is the original owner being sad.

Bai Su gently pressed her hand to her chest, trying to suppress the suffocating feeling, and said, "Since this is what you want, then so be it. I'll go upstairs to pack my things and leave right away."

Dong Suying turned her face away, refusing to look at Bai Su.

She feared that in a moment of weakness or impulsiveness, she might do something she would regret for the rest of her life.

Ye Xiaofeng stared at Bai Su's retreating figure with disgust, as if afraid that she might suddenly change her mind and refuse to leave.

Fortunately, Bai Su did not regret it.

In less than five minutes, she had packed all her luggage.

It's called luggage, but it's really just a bag.

She brought it from the fishing village.

She came with this bag, and she left with this bag.

She was still wearing the same clothes she had come in. She had folded all the clothes Dong Suying had bought for her and placed them neatly on the bed, without taking a single one with her.

Dong Suying walked up to her with a dark face and stuffed the key and access card into her hand.

"The address is written on the sticker on your access card. Take a taxi there yourself; I'm not in the mood to take you!"

Bai Su handed it back.

"No need, I have my own place to stay."

Dong Suying sneered, "Where do you think you'll find a place to stay? Don't throw a tantrum at a time like this. Even though it's summer, this is the north. Sleeping on the street at night could still freeze you to death or get kidnapped. Don't risk your life for a little bit of so-called face!"

There was no point in wasting time arguing with her, so Bai Su simply put away her keys and access card and walked out without a second thought.

"Stop right there! You haven't taken your taxi fare yet!"

"Grandma left me some money."

After saying that, Bai Su left without looking back.

"Look at her, she doesn't care at all!" Ye Xiaofeng was so angry he was about to slam his fist on the table again. "It's all thanks to the good daughter you raised!"

Dong Suying felt very wronged.

She's only been teaching Bai Su for a few days?

They were clearly corrupted by that old hag.

She doesn't think her genes are that bad.

It's all Old Lady Bai's fault!

He clearly has excellent medical skills, so why does he insist on living in seclusion in the mountains?

Dong Suying did not refute it.

Her husband was in a bad mood, so she didn't bother arguing with him.

……

Outside the residential area.

Cheng Yizhou leaned against the car door and waited for a long time before finally seeing a thin figure appear at the entrance of the residential area.

It was none other than Bai Su.

He resisted the urge to run over and greet her, and instead waited for Bai Su to come over.

As her slender figure appeared under the streetlight, Cheng Yizhou saw that she was carrying a large bag.

The bag looked old and had a patch on it. It was packed full of things, and I had no idea what was inside.

"What are you doing...? Why are you giving me so much stuff? I don't want your junk..."

Cheng Yizhou looked disgusted, but inexplicably felt very happy.

"You're overthinking it. This isn't for you; it's part of my luggage." Bai Su patted her bag.

The contents inside, besides textbooks, were rare medicinal herbs she had brought from the fishing village.

Don't be fooled by how tattered the bag looks; even a single blade of grass inside would be worth a fortune.

Cheng Yizhou asked, puzzled, "Luggage? Isn't luggage usually packed in suitcases?"

"Let's get in the car first." Bai Su opened the car door next to Cheng Yizhou and got in with her bag in her arms.

"Who gave you permission to ride in my car!" Cheng Yizhou complained, but showed no intention of kicking him out.

They even asked, "Where are you going?"

Bai Su recited an address from memory: "Purple Bamboo Villa".

Old Xu, in the driver's seat, turned his head to glance at Cheng Yizhou.

Cheng Yizhou nodded, and Lao Xu then headed towards the Purple Bamboo Villa.

As the car started moving, Cheng Yizhou couldn't help but ask, "You're out with your own luggage so late at night, won't your stepfather and stepmother scold you?"

"No," Bai Su said calmly. "They kicked me out."

"What?!" Cheng Yizhou suddenly raised his voice.

Even Lao Xu, who was in the driver's seat, was stunned when he heard this.

"you……"

Cheng Yizhou was wondering what to say to comfort Bai Su when she smiled and said, "I was just wondering what excuse I could use to leave here, and this opportunity has come knocking on my door. From now on, I have absolutely nothing to do with the Ye family."

Although Cheng Yizhou didn't like studying, he was quick-witted.

Considering that Bai Su had secretly asked him to cooperate with her in acting, he had already guessed what was going on.

"You deliberately used me to provoke them so they would kick you out?"

"Um."

"So what's the deal with this Purple Bamboo Villa?"

"Mr. Sun found me a rental apartment. He was faster than I expected. He found a suitable place for me in less than a day."

Upon hearing that it was Sun Yuze, Cheng Yizhou blurted out, "No way! He can't stay there!"

Bai Su looked at him: "Why?"

"What else could it be? A strange man helped you find the apartment, how do you know if he has a spare key? What if he has ulterior motives?"

"I believe he's not that kind of person, and he wouldn't even look at me. I'm not that charming. You're overthinking it."

Cheng Yizhou wanted to say that he hadn't thought too much about it; Bai Su's face was enough to make many men have evil thoughts.

But his personality prevented him from saying such complimentary things; he simply said, "In short, I feel unsafe."

"Does sleeping on the streets make you safe?"

"The Ye family kicked you out, but they didn't give you any money? Or even find you a place to live?"

"They gave me a temporary place to stay, but I didn't want to go."

"No matter how well the Ye family treats you, they're still better than that guy surnamed Sun."

"You seem to have a big misunderstanding about Mr. Sun."

"It's not a misunderstanding, it's intuition!"

"Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Cheng Yizhou said with exasperation, "How can you be so arrogant, woman? Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry."

Bai Su was getting a little impatient, but remembering that Cheng Yizhou was also concerned about her, she said, "When I get there, I'll have a locksmith change the lock for me, is that alright?"

Cheng Yizhou pursed his lips and remained silent.

He just felt that the guy surnamed Sun wasn't a good person.

But... he had no right to stop Bai Su from staying there.

He is no one of Bai Su's.
