Meanwhile, the secretary outside the door, looking at the closed gate of the Ye family residence, couldn't help but say, "President Pei, I never imagined that the person we were looking for would turn out to be that kind of person..."

"What kind of person?" Pei Wenyan looked up at his secretary.

The secretary laughed and said, "Why do you need me to explain it so clearly? You know what I mean."

Pei Wenyan's expression was indifferent.

"Secretary Chen, I thought you weren't too stupid before, but now it seems I misjudged you."

"?"

"Drive to the address they gave us."

Secretary Chen couldn't even see through such an obvious provocation.

It seems that his men really are all idiots, just as his grandfather said.

The car drove to the small apartment that the Ye family had mentioned.

This time, Pei Wenyan didn't get out of the car; he waited for Secretary Chen to go up and check on things first.

About ten minutes later, Secretary Chen returned.

"Nobody's here...and I asked my neighbors on both sides, and they said they haven't seen anyone move in this year."

The Ye couple wouldn't dare lie, so the only explanation is that the girl never actually lived here.

The Ye couple were clearly unaware of this.

It's clear that the couple didn't care about her at all.

Pei Wenyan's initial slight understanding of Bai Su turned into a greater sense of sympathy.

"Go to No. 3 Middle School first thing tomorrow morning."

Now that we know where Ye Baisu goes to school, we'll definitely be able to find her tomorrow.

……

Meanwhile, the Cheng family.

Cheng Dong returned home with a grim expression.

He hadn't been provoked by anyone for many years; tonight was the first time in that long.

He admitted that after going to the capital, he never told anyone that he was a stepson.

He never told anyone that he had a younger brother.

At first, he felt there was no need to say it, but later he gradually began to enjoy being praised as the future heir of the Cheng family.

But tonight, that girl almost exposed me...

He wasn't afraid of being exposed, because he knew that Cheng Wuyan was more willing to cultivate him as his future successor.

But my mood was still inevitably affected.

We need to find a suitable opportunity, when Cheng Yizhou gets into trouble again, to inadvertently let Cheng Wuyan know that his biological son not only doesn't study properly, but is also having a puppy love affair with a girl from the countryside.

However, he thought that the time would come soon.

Cheng Yizhou was originally an idle loafer who would cause trouble every now and then or quarrel with Cheng Wuyan.

He's not in a hurry.

All you need to do is wait patiently.

However, as soon as she returned to her room, her mother, Lin Yu, came in.

Lin Yu was beautiful when she was young, and now that she is Mrs. Cheng, she naturally has no shortage of money to maintain her beauty. Even though she is 45, she is still beautiful.

It is because of this beauty that has remained within its shelf life that Cheng Wuyan still loves his wife very much.

"Mom." Cheng Dong put down his pen and was about to ask what was wrong when Lin Yu raised her hand and threw a test paper at Cheng Dong's face.

"Look at yourself! What time is it? You still have the leisure to study!"

Lin Yu was furious, but she still kept her voice down and controlled the volume so that the sound wouldn't come out of the door.

Cheng Dong took the test paper off his face and looked at it in his hand.

First, she stared in astonishment, then frowned.

But his brows quickly relaxed again.

"Mom, is this why you're angry with me?"

"What do you mean 'because of this'? Isn't this enough to wake you up? When has Cheng Yizhou ever done any of the worksheets your dad assigned? But now, he's actually doing them! Don't you feel any sense of crisis? What if he becomes your dad's good son again?"

In Lin Yu's mind, Cheng Yizhou was not Cheng Wuyan's son, but a bad person who wanted to take Cheng Wuyan away.

She didn't think much of it when Cheng Wuyan disliked this person for being ignorant and incompetent, but when she saw this exam paper, fear and anger immediately filled her chest.

"He's trying to steal your dad again! And you're just sitting here doing your homework, completely unhurried!"

Cheng Dong remained calm and composed.

"Mom, have you seen this test paper?"

"I graduated years ago, how could I possibly understand it!"

Cheng Dong patiently explained, "Not only did you not understand this test paper, but I also couldn't understand several questions and handed it in to Dad blank. But look at this paper now, it's completely filled with writing... and not only that, all the answers are correct..."

Lin Yu wasn't stupid, and finally realized what was happening.

"You mean, he didn't write this himself?"

"Even if ten more Cheng Yizhous came up, they still couldn't solve this test paper."

Lin Yu's anger dissipated almost instantly.

"It seems that it's because your dad told that old geezer not to give Cheng Yizhou money, so he came up with another idea to scam living expenses."

Cheng Dong frowned: "Mom, after all these years, you still talk like this. I've told you so many times to watch your words, lest someone overhears you, why don't you listen..."

"Zhang Ma is keeping watch outside; she'll cough if someone's around. I'm not stupid!"

Cheng Dong felt helpless.

But then it suddenly occurred to him that this exam paper might be the key to his success.

He whispered his plan to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up again and again.

"That kid is really going astray... This is perfect! This time, I'm going to make sure your dad kicks him out of the country early!"

It's one thing to have a puppy love, but to fall for a wild girl from the countryside is another.

Cheng Wuyan must be furious!

In order to break up the couple, he would definitely send Cheng Yizhou abroad even sooner.

Once Cheng Yizhou goes abroad, the father and son will not see each other for a long time, and their relationship will definitely become more strained.

At this time, she and her son can properly play the roles of a good wife and a good son.

As long as she can hold out until the old man dies, this house will belong to her and her son.

Lin Yu seemed to already see the day when her son would sit in the chairman's seat of the Cheng Group.

She happily put away the exam paper, ready to perform.

Unfortunately, the two did not see Cheng Wuyan return that night.

They only received a phone call from Cheng Wuyan's secretary.

"The chairman has gone on a business trip unexpectedly and probably won't be back until next week."

Lin Yu and Cheng Dong were both disappointed.

However, they quickly rallied – they had waited all these years, so they weren't worried about waiting a mere few days.

The two quickly calmed down and did what they needed to do, so as not to arouse any suspicion from Old Master Cheng.

That old man is very biased towards Cheng Yizhou; they need to be extremely cautious in his presence.

Moreover, on the day Cheng Yizhou's early romance was exposed, the old man had to be sent away.

These past few days have given them time to make their plans.

……

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and Bai Su got up again with two bluish patches under her eyes.

It wasn't that the house in Zizhu Villa was uncomfortable to sleep in, but rather that she had just learned how to shop online and spent the entire night buying things.

Online shopping is truly addictive; you can't stop, you just can't stop.

She needs to restrain herself for a few days and wait until she has the money later.

After making herself breakfast, Bai Su took the bus to school.

She's not one to waste money; the things she bought online last night were all pharmaceutical tools and herbs.

In her personal life, she was very frugal with herself.

Frugality and thrift were virtues shared by most people of their generation.

Moreover, it's really convenient to take the bus from Zizhu Villa to No. 3 Middle School. You can get on the bus at the entrance of the community and get off at a stop less than 20 meters away from the entrance of No. 3 Middle School.

On the bus that day, Bai Su also ran into three students from Class 2.

When the three people saw Bai Su, they all greeted her kindly, and one of them even gave Bai Su a steamed bun.

Bai Su had already eaten, so she politely declined the other person's offer, but instead offered her a bottle of milk that she had brought with her, so as not to appear arrogant.

Upon arriving at the school, the four of them got off the bus one after the other.

Bai Su was the last to leave, and when she looked up, she saw a tall and handsome man standing at the school gate.

The morning light shone on his face, adding a touch of aloofness.

Students passing by, especially female students, couldn't help but stop and watch.

Those who knew him refrained from exclaiming in surprise.

Those who don't know him are amazed that there are men even more handsome than celebrities.

Bai Su recognized the other person.

It was Pei Wenyan.

She had expected the other party to come knocking on her door, but it happened even faster than she anticipated.

Bai Su walked over quickly.

Pei Wenyan seemed to sense something and looked over at Bai Su.

There was no difference from before; she was still plain-faced and wearing a school uniform.

However, he had previously thought Bai Su was crazy, so he had never seriously looked at what Bai Su looked like.

Looking closely today, I realized that this girl is indeed very striking in appearance.

Her face was perfectly oval, and her features were exceptionally beautiful.

Those eyes seemed to speak volumes, they were incredibly captivating.

It's just that because she's still young and wearing the same baggy school uniform as everyone else, she's not that dazzling yet.

She'll probably be even more beautiful when she gets older.

"Your grandfather is awake?" Bai Su asked bluntly, "Did he send you to find me, or did you come to find me on your own?"

Pei Wenyan looked around and realized that this woman really didn't know how to behave in different situations.

Is now the time to talk about these things?

The old man in his family fell ill, and this was not even announced to the public. Only a few families who were close to the Pei family or had close cooperative relationships with them knew about it.

But it's understandable, since this woman is just an ordinary person from the countryside, how could she know the hardships of people in their social class?

They are the kind of people who have to hide even when they are sick.

"Let's talk in the car," Pei Wenyan said.

Bai Su did not refuse and asked the students from Class 2 who were with her to pass on the message to Teacher Chai.

"My cousin needs to see me, so I need to take the day off today."

Several classmates looked at her in surprise.

"good……"

Some of them knew Pei Wenyan, so they were surprised to learn that Bai Su's cousin was actually Chairman Pei.

Those who didn't know Pei Wenyan were surprised: the Bai Su family's genes were too good; the women were beautiful and the men were handsome.

Did this whole family win the genetic lottery?

I was so envious that my eyes were watering.

……

After Bai Su got into the car, it drove directly to the Central Hospital.

On the way, Pei Wenyan answered her question: "My grandfather is looking for you, and so am I."

He added, "My grandfather is looking for you because he's a bit delirious right now. If he sees you, he might mistake you for someone else. I'm telling you in advance so you won't be surprised."

He paused, then added, "I'm looking for you because... the doctor said you treated my grandfather."

Bai Su said, "Your grandfather shouldn't be mentally unstable."

He only guessed that the person who saved him might be himself.
