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

When I got home, the first thing I did was change my password.

She wasn't that familiar with Sun Yuze yet. Even though she knew she hadn't misjudged him and that Sun Yuze wasn't that kind of person, it was still better to be cautious.

After changing the password, Bai Su carefully examined the entire room.

As Sun Yuze said, there were indeed some of his things in the master bedroom, but not many.

The house was very clean, so it must have been cleaned regularly by a professional.

Bai Su put her things in the guest room, changed the sheets, and washed up. By the time she finished everything, it was already past 11 p.m.

She checked her phone and saw a message from Sun Yuze: "Let me know anytime if you need anything."

Cheng Yizhou also sent a message: "I've arrived."

There was no news of the Ye family at all.

They didn't care whether she lived or died.

Perhaps they felt that giving her a house to live in was already a sign of their conscience.

Bai Su sneered, replied to the two messages, and then closed her eyes to sleep.

Despite being in a new environment, Bai Su slept better that night than she had ever slept the previous night.

The room was large, the air was fresh, and there was no musty smell.

The bed is soft and large, and it won't make any strange noises.

As a result, Bai Su woke up the next day feeling refreshed and looking much better.

Zizhu Villa is not far from No. 3 Middle School, just one bus stop away.

There's a bus stop right at the entrance of the residential area, which is very convenient.

After getting off the bus, she saw a figure at the school gate that shouldn't be there.

It was none other than Ye Yixue.

She was wearing the Imperial High School uniform, her hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, making her completely different from the students from No. 3 Middle School who passed by.

This drew the attention of the students.

When Bai Su saw Ye Yixue, Ye Yixue also saw her.

Before Bai Su could make a move, Ye Yixue stepped forward first.

"Where did you go last night?" Ye Yixue asked bluntly. "I went to the house your parents found for you, but I didn't see you there."

She got home late yesterday because Cheng Dong invited her to have dinner at a restaurant.

During the meal, we somehow started talking about her having an older sister.

Cheng Dong inexplicably suggested having dinner with Ye Baisu.

Although Ye Yixue was puzzled, she still agreed and made a date to have dinner together that evening.

To his surprise, when he got home, he learned that Bai Su had already been kicked out.

The troublesome nuisance was finally gone. Overjoyed, she remembered Cheng Dong's promise and secretly ran out to find Bai Su.

However, the house that Bai Su's parents found for her was empty.

She had already promised Cheng Dong that she would invite Bai Su to dinner tonight, and if she went back on her word, she was afraid that Cheng Dong would think she was unreliable.

The two of them had finally gotten a little closer, and she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Cheng Dong.

So she started staking out this spot early in the morning.

She had expected that Bai Su, having been kicked out of the house, would be as pathetic as a stray dog, but to her surprise, Bai Su not only showed no signs of distress, but also looked radiant.

"You...you didn't move into the house of that guy you're hooking up with, did you?"

Bai Su looked at Ye Yixue expressionlessly.

Where I went and who I was with is none of your business, is it?

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Mom and Dad?"

"I'm upright and honest, what am I afraid of? It's you who has a mouth, you have something to say to them, just as I have something to say to them."

Ye Yixue's expression changed.

She knew that Bai Su was referring to the peach-patterned dress for the birthday party.

Bai Su caught her red-handed about this, and she was filled with regret.

Ye Yixue bit her lip and said, "If you keep going out like this, even if I don't tell them, they'll find out sooner or later."

"What exactly are you trying to say? If it's just this nonsense, then I'm not wasting my time and I'm going to school."

"Wait!" Ye Yixue took a deep breath and changed her tone, saying, "I did hate you at first, but that was only because I was adopted, and you are my mother's biological child. I was just afraid that because of you, I would be kicked out..."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Bai Su interrupted her rambling.

Ye Yixue looked at her and pleaded, "After spending these past few days with you, I've discovered that you're not the kind of bad person I imagined."

"..." Bai Su raised an eyebrow: "That's not necessarily true."

"No, I can tell. If you were really that bad, you would have told Mom and Dad on me long ago."

"so what?"

"So, I want to make up with you."

Bai Su laughed and said, "Although I don't know what you're up to, we can't be friends."

Why?

"Because we are not the same kind of people."

"How will you know if you don't spend time with them?"

"You still haven't said what you want to do?"

"I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight as a formal apology. Do you have time?"

Bai Su's eyes darted around.

After all that talk, it's just about food?

She felt a little strange, and a little curious.

But in the end, reason prevailed over curiosity.

"We'll see. I might not have time today."

Ye Yixue became anxious.

"You can't look anymore. You need to give me an answer right now."

Bai Su looked at her with a half-smile: "What exactly do you want?"

"As I said, I just wanted to treat you to a meal as an apology."

Bai Su smiled: "Okay, but I might bring a friend."

"Of course. Let's meet at Shangshige Restaurant at six o'clock, how about that?"

"OK."

Ye Yixue got into the family car with a sigh of relief. The car slowly drove away, and Bai Su withdrew her gaze expressionlessly.

Something's fishy going on; she shouldn't have agreed.

But she was never one to back down from trouble.

If they don't figure out what Ye Yixue is up to, this person will probably haunt her relentlessly.

Let's just solve it all at once.

Bai Su tightened her backpack strap and entered the school.

Instead of going straight back to her class, she went to the principal's office.

Principal Zhang hadn't arrived yet, and Bai Su waited for him for about ten minutes before he finally arrived.

Zhang Shu was surprised and happy to see Bai Su.

He walked in, beaming, and said, "I was just looking for you."

"What happened?"

"I wanted to ask you, which doctor prescribed the medication for my wife that day?"

He explained, "My wife has been taking his medicine for the past two days and she really feels much better; she can hardly believe it herself."

Bai Su said, "The doctor said to go see him after you finish taking the prescribed medicine. I don't remember his name, but I remember him. I'll take you there after you finish the medicine."

"That's wonderful!"

Zhang Shu said excitedly, "I used to think that traditional Chinese medicine was all a scam, but I was too narrow-minded."

Bai Su nodded: "Indeed, you are being narrow-minded."

"Ahem..." Zhang Shu coughed lightly and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly come to find me?"

Bai Su stated her purpose: "I want to switch to another class."

Zhang Shu was about to ask why when he suddenly remembered what Chen Qiang had told him yesterday.

At first, Chen Qiang's story completely sided with their class monitor, but it wasn't until he repeatedly pressed for details that Chen Qiang finally told the truth.

He had wanted to find Bai Su yesterday, but Bai Su had taken leave and didn't come to class.

Now that Bai Su brought it up, he suddenly remembered this whole thing.

"You've been wronged in this matter. But I've spoken with your class monitor a few times, and he shouldn't have done something like that..."

"It's not her problem, it's Teacher Chen's problem."

Zhang Shu asked, "You don't like him?"

"He doesn't like me."

Zhang Shu thought about Chen Qiang's words from that day and asked curiously, "Why does he have such a strong opinion about you?"

"I don't know either."

"But I still hope you'll reconsider. The students in the advanced class are generally more outstanding than those in other classes..."

"The lotus can rise from the mud unsullied, and so can I."

Have you made up your mind?

"Yes."

"Which class would you like to switch to?"

"Anything is fine." She thought for a moment and said, "Who doesn't get along with Teacher Chen?"

"The teacher of Class Two...they had some conflicts."

"Then I'll go to Class Two."

Zhang Shu frowned: "Are you sure you're not acting impulsively?"

"I'm sure."

"Well... okay, you go back to class first. I need to talk to the teacher of Class Two about changing classes. I'll call you when it's all settled."

"Thank you, Principal Zhang."

Zhang Shu waved his hand: "Go on, the bell will ring soon."

Bai Su turned and left.

She chose Class Two not out of impulse, nor to spite Chen Qiang.

Instead, she is now quite certain that Chen Qiang is intentionally targeting her.

Otherwise, Chen Qiang wouldn't have spoken to Dong Suying like that on the phone, pushing all the blame onto her and even tricking her into issuing a letter of understanding.

She couldn't figure out the reason yet, but if she went to a class taught by a teacher who had a good relationship with Chen Qiang, the situation might be the same.

So, it's better to go to Chen Qiang's rival class.

This was something she had thought about carefully, without any personal emotion, just so she could concentrate on her studies.

Back in the classroom, as soon as Bai Su entered, several classmates came up to greet her, saying, "Good morning."

"Good morning," Bai Su said with a smile.

"You took a day off, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a slight cold, but I'm all better now."

"That's good. We thought it was because of something else..."

He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "Xu Nuo also took the day off yesterday, but she came this morning. She should have gone to get hot water."

Bai Su nodded and said thank you, "Thank you."

The classmate waved his hand: "You're welcome. We only saw her true colors that day; it was absolutely terrifying!"

Bai Su smiled but didn't reply.

She won't speak ill of others, but she also won't refuse people who speak up for her.

The school bell rang at that moment.

Bai Su returned to her seat, and just as she sat down, Cheng Yizhou entered the room.

Today's morning reading session wasn't led by Chen Qiang, but by the class's English teacher.

A very young female teacher was easy to talk to, so everyone became a bit lazy.

Taking the opportunity, Cheng Yizhou asked her, "You said you'd teach me study methods, is that true?"

"certainly."

Bai Su nodded and told him the key points of learning English.

"I'm not learning this." Cheng Yizhou waved his hand. "I've had foreign teachers since I was little, so I'm pretty good at English. You teach me math."

"That works too." Bai Su briefly explained a few ways to learn math to him, and then surprisingly discovered that Cheng Yizhou had a talent for learning math.
