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

"Therefore, in this matter, Bai Su is not only not at fault, but is also a victim."

After hearing what Teacher Chai said, Dong Suying was immediately stunned.

How could that be?

The situation she knew was clearly not like that.

The male teacher on the phone at the time clearly kept saying that it was all Bai Su's fault.

Bai Su did not defend herself afterward, and even a male classmate came to her door demanding an apology because of this.

That's not how it works!

She looked at Teacher Chai suspiciously.

"Her homeroom teacher called me at the time; it was a man on the other end, not you... Who are you? Why should I believe what you say?"

Teacher Chai was also surprised: "As Bai Su's parent, didn't you know that she had transferred from the advanced class to our Class 2? Now, I am her homeroom teacher."

Then, incredulously, she asked, "Bai Su must have explained this to you, right? As her mother, why didn't you choose to believe her?"

"Because she's always been a troublemaker! It's no wonder she caused trouble!"

Teacher Chai frowned.

"What kind of parent are you? The child has clearly done nothing wrong, so why insist that the child is at fault? As a mother, shouldn't you want your child to be right?"

The students watching also whispered among themselves.

"Is this really her mother? Knowing that her daughter might not be at fault, she still insists that she is."

"Yes, if she were a biological mother, wouldn't her first reaction be to protect her own child? Why does she insist that she's wrong and doesn't even believe what the teacher says?"

"Even if this girl is disobedient at home, shouldn't we at least find out what actually happened?"

"Poor Bai Su, no wonder she seems a bit withdrawn. Growing up in a family like that must be suffocating."

Whether they knew Bai Su or not, everyone was talking about how Dong Suying, as a mother, had problems.

Hearing the accusations around her, Dong Suying gradually lost face.

She was about to scold the people around her for meddling when she happened to see Cheng Yizhou returning.

She immediately stepped forward.

"You're the boy who came to our house the other day, right?"

Cheng Yizhou came back to pick up his laptop.

He was angry with Bai Su, but he couldn't control himself and turned back.

The notebook wasn't wrong—he convinced himself of this, and then walked back with a clear conscience.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Bai Su and Dong Suying.

His brows immediately furrowed.

Even if he's angry with Bai Su, it doesn't mean he'll stand against her.

He glanced at Bai Su not far away and asked casually, "It's me. Is there something you need?"

Dong Suying hurriedly asked about what happened in the classroom that day.

"It was indeed her who caused your injury, so you came to her door demanding an apology, right?"

Dong Suying was eager to prove herself right.

This demonstrates that she is not the kind of person who scolds children indiscriminately.

People who care about saving face but don't love their children will argue even over small wins and losses.

Cheng Yizhou did not answer immediately, but glanced at Bai Su first.

Seeing that Bai Su didn't stop him from telling the truth like last time, he said, "Auntie, you've got it wrong. I asked her to apologize last time because she lost one of my books. It had nothing to do with my injury. Besides, I was the one who wanted to help her and blocked that triangle ruler. Why would I ask her to apologize for that?"

What Cheng Yizhou said matched what Teacher Chai said.

Dong Suying's cheek twitched.

"You came to her door just... just because she lost your book?"

Cheng Yizhou snorted and said, "I rented that book from the library. If I lose it, I have to pay for it. Of course I want her to apologize to me."

His matter-of-fact attitude left Dong Suying speechless.

It turns out... it really is just as that female teacher said.

Bai Su was completely innocent in that matter.

However, upon realizing this, Dong Suying didn't think it was her fault at all. Instead, she questioned Bai Su, "If that's the case, why didn't you explain it to me clearly?"

Bai Su said expressionlessly, "I told you, but you didn't believe me and you wouldn't listen."

"..."

Dong Suying recalled for a moment.

At first, Bai Su refused to admit her mistake.

But after a few times, she acquiesced.

She thought that Bai Su had finally admitted her mistake.

Looking back now, this tacit acceptance was clearly tinged with helplessness.

But how could Dong Suying admit that she was wrong?

If she got this wrong, she'd bring up something else.

"Why didn't you tell me and your father about something as important as changing shifts? You could have at least told your sister, but you didn't say a word. Were you deliberately trying to hide it from us?"

Bai Su looked up at her.

His eyes held a hint of mockery, yet also seemed to convey a sense of helplessness.

"Have you forgotten? You've already kicked me out of the house."

Dong Suying's face turned pale, and she subconsciously looked around.

The way people around her were looking at her became even stranger.

She couldn't stand it, and her face grew increasingly pale.

"When did I kick you out? You did something wrong and caused your father's project to go wrong..."

But as she talked, Dong Suying became more and more guilty.

The trigger for asking Bai Su to move out was a promise.

But now, everyone says that Xu Nuo was the one who caused trouble back then, and Bai Su was just a victim.

Therefore, her claim that "you made a mistake yourself" is untenable.

Dong Suying gritted her teeth, her cheeks twitching.

"You're causing a scene in public, aren't you ashamed? Come back with me!"

After returning, even if Bai Su was in the right, she ignored him.

There weren't many bystanders speaking up for Bai Su.

She even wanted to lay a hand on Bai Su.

In short, we shouldn't continue making trouble here.

Dong Suying calmed down and said to Bai Su, "Get in the car, we'll talk this out when we get back."

It's like they've compromised.

But it was only a temporary period of forbearance.

A temporary compromise to avoid losing face.

However, Bai Su stood still and did not move.

She even smiled slightly before speaking: "Mom... this is the last time I'll call you Mom. The day you kicked me out, I never thought of going back. So, I'm sorry, I can't go back with you. From now on, you don't need to come looking for me anymore. Just pretend you don't have a daughter like me."

A sudden clap of thunder startled Dong Suying, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

"W-What did you say?"

"I said I have no plans to go back, and I have nothing to do with the Ye family anymore."

From now on, she will no longer be Ye Baisu.

Of course, she wouldn't be Song Shiyi.

At first, she wanted to change her name back to this one, but after recognizing Xiaoshanzi, she realized that, to the outside world, Song Shiyi was already dead.

Xiaoshanzi was able to accept this news because she was his most respected master.

But others won't.

Putting aside whether you believe it or not, even if you did, you'd still think of her as a monster.

She has made up her mind; she is now simply Bai Su.

It's a completely new white basil.

She hadn't sorted things out yet, but Dong Suying's appearance gave her a push.

But Dong Suying looked completely shocked.

"How dare you say such a thing? Do you think you could survive here without us?"

"That's not your concern," Bai Su said in a calm tone, as if she were talking to a stranger.

Unable to bear it any longer, Dong Suying raised her hand to slap Bai Su.

Bai Su was about to grab her wrist—a stranger, she had no right to hit her.

Dong Suying is not her mother.

She will never be the original owner's mother again.

A person like that doesn't deserve to be anyone's mother.

However, before Bai Su could grab Dong Suying, two hands were faster than her and blocked Dong Suying before she could.

Bai Su looked over in surprise.

One hand belonged to Teacher Chai, and the other to Cheng Yizhou.

Cheng Yizhou's face was ashen, like a lion about to erupt in fury.

Teacher Chai's expression was also very unpleasant.

She said directly, "Mr. Bai, this is a school, you can't hit people."

Cheng Yizhou didn't say anything, but just stared intently at Dong Suying.

It's as if they're saying: If you dare hit Bai Su, I'll hit you back.

Dong Suying was furious.

"You, you all... What's wrong with me disciplining my own daughter! Without me, where would she be? I'm her mother!"

Cheng Yizhou sneered: "Didn't you hear what she said? She has nothing to do with your family anymore, so you're no longer her mother."

"I gave birth to her!"

"Besides giving birth to her, what else did you do? Did you raise her properly? Or did you treat her well after bringing her back from the fishing village?" Cheng Yizhou had Monkey investigate Bai Su's background, so he knew these details.

Dong Suying's face turned pale and then flushed.

Finally, he managed to choke out, "Let me go!"

Both of them let go of Dong Suying.

It wasn't that I was afraid of her, it was that I disliked her dirty hands.

But neither of them left, keeping a close eye on Dong Suying, wary of her hitting someone again.

Dong Suying was so angry she laughed.

Her gaze swept past Teacher Chai's shoulder and landed on Bai Su behind her.

"You'd better think this through. If you don't come with me today, I really won't care about you anymore. You can forget about living in that house. Even if you starve to death on the streets, we won't take care of you."

Bai Su walked forward calmly.

There was neither sadness nor anger.

She simply said calmly, "From now on, I have nothing to do with you anymore."

"Fine, fine... You're really something! Don't come begging to me later! I won't soften my heart!"

"Please take care," Bai Su said, urging them to leave immediately.

Even when asking someone to leave, their tone was very polite.

It was Dong Suying who seemed to be going crazy.

Bai Su, on the other hand, remained dignified from beginning to end.

Dong Suying was so angry that she trembled all over.

She wanted to say something more, but Cheng Yizhou spoke up: "Aren't you leaving? Do you want us to call security to kick you out?"

—If you let the security guards kick her out, she'll be even more embarrassed.

She can't bear the shame.

She should just consider this daughter lost!

Dong Suying turned around and got into the car with a dark expression.

"Drive!" she ordered the driver in a very rude tone.

The driver didn't get out of the car, but he saw Dong Suying about to hit someone, but was stopped by two people.

He dared not utter a sound, fearing he would be implicated, and quickly started the car.

The car kicked up exhaust fumes and drove away quickly.

Teacher Chai expressed concern for Bai Su a few times, but did not advise her to reconcile with her family.

Advising Bai Su to apologize to her family at this critical juncture will only make people angry.

Moreover, Teacher Chai also felt that there was something wrong with Dong Suying's parenting.

She carefully chose her words and asked Bai Su, "Do you have enough money? Do you have a place to stay?"
