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

"I can lend you some money, and you can pay me back after you graduate and start working. As for accommodation, I can help you apply for on-campus housing."

Teacher Chai offered practical advice to Bai Su, instead of just casually saying, "She's still your mother, go back and apologize."

Bai Su understood why the students in her class called Teacher Chai "Mom Chai"; she genuinely cared for her students as if they were her own children.

Bai Su replied gratefully, "I have a part-time job outside, so I have an income and a place to stay."

Teacher Chai was somewhat relieved.

She wanted to say something more, but swallowed it back.

"Teacher Chai, thank you for today. Please go back now. I'll come to you if I encounter any difficulties."

"Then feel free to ask anytime, don't be shy."

Teacher Chai left her his phone number.

Bai Su thanked him again, and Teacher Chai insisted on giving her another thousand yuan to use before leaving.

Some of the students who were watching the commotion recognized Bai Su and came up to offer a few words of comfort, but they quickly dispersed.

The incident at the school gate today will surely become a topic of conversation among the students.

But this has little impact on Bai Su.

She doesn't really care what others think of her.

Focusing on being yourself is a lesson Bai Su learned early in her previous life.

For a moment, apart from the students who kept coming out of school to go home, only Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou remained standing in place.

Cheng Yizhou pursed his lips and remained silent, as if waiting for Bai Su to speak.

Bai Su smiled and said, "Thank you for earlier. I owe you one more time. I'll continue tutoring you tomorrow."

She offered him a way out, and Cheng Yizhou hesitated for a moment before accepting it.

"You just need to know who is nice to you and who is only nice to you on the surface."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing!" He wanted to say Pei Wenyan, but... if they talked about that, the two of them would definitely end up arguing again.

He could sense that Bai Su was closer to Pei Wenyan.

This made him very uncomfortable, but he could only accept it for the time being.

He didn't want to argue with her.

The two of them were arguing, but Bai Su remained calm and collected, while he himself was furious.

Bai Su has this skill, just like he did against Dong Suying; he can't even come close to her.

So he changed the subject, saying, "Teacher Chai is so stingy, only giving you a thousand yuan. I have seventy or eighty thousand yuan on me, I'll give it all to you."

He then reached for his phone to transfer the money.

Bai Su stopped him.

"I'm not short of money right now. I've only spent less than half of the salary you gave me last time."

"You think I'm giving you too little?"

"No……"

"Then you can keep it!"

"Then what will you do yourself?"

Cheng Yizhou scoffed: "I will study hard and earn my own living expenses."

"That's a good idea."

"What do you mean? You think I can't earn my living expenses by myself after finishing the exams?"

"No, as long as you study hard, you'll be able to do it very quickly."

Cheng Yizhou was somewhat pleased.

He said, "I'm going back to the classroom to get the test paper. I'll take you home in a bit; your family's driver is picking you up today."

Bai Su agreed.

If you don't agree, Cheng Yizhou will get angry again.

He's such a child.

Fortunately, Cheng Yizhou acted quickly. After taking out the notebook, he led Bai Su into his car.

The Cheng family's car is very impressive and spacious; it's a six-seater.

A partition can be raised in front to separate the driver's seat from the rear seat space.

"Don't forget, my grandpa invited you to my house for dinner on Friday."

Bai Su nodded: "I remember, but I don't know what your grandfather likes? I want to prepare a gift in advance."

"You only have a few coins in your pocket, what kind of gift can you prepare? Don't buy anything."

"Tell me first what his hobbies and interests are. I can buy him whatever I can afford."

She insisted, so Cheng Yizhou had no choice but to say, "My grandfather doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes to study mathematics. You could buy a few books... but never mind, those books are all very expensive, you can't afford them. Just go in person."

Bai Su thought of her third apprentice, Si'er.

He also loves studying mathematics.

After a moment of distraction, Bai Su said, "Then I'll buy some snacks to take back with me."

"Alright."

The two of them didn't mention Pei Wenyan at all during the conversation.

Meanwhile, Xu Nuo exited the school from the west gate and didn't see the commotion at the school gate.

She rushed home, hoping her father would openly sabotage the Ye family so they would know that Bai Su was responsible.

But when she got home, her father immediately told her, "Change your clothes, we're going to the hospital to visit Grandpa Pei."

Xu Nuo wanted to talk about her own situation, but then she remembered that all the big orders her family had came from the Pei family, and if their products had problems, they might have to pay a lot of money in compensation.

If they can persuade Grandpa Pei to restock instead of paying the penalty for breach of contract, their crisis can be resolved.

Comparing the two, now is indeed not the time to talk about Ye Baisu's matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo held back, didn't mention Bai Su, and went upstairs to change her clothes.

When meeting an elderly person, you certainly shouldn't dress too flamboyantly.

She changed into a light green knee-length dress and tied her hair in two ponytails, looking very well-behaved.

She even washed off her makeup.

Older people don't like children who wear heavy makeup.

Looking in the mirror, her clean face bore the innocent smile that the old man loved.

She was satisfied and turned to go downstairs.

Mr. Xu, along with his daughter and wife, went to the mall first to buy a generous gift for Mr. Pei.

the other side.

After Cheng Yizhou dropped Bai Su off at the Purple Bamboo Villa, he wanted to follow her up.

He asked Lao Xu to buy some things: two quilts worth 10,000 yuan each, and some skincare products that girls would like.

I was going to tell Bai Su this morning, but she took the day off.

Bai Su said, "Thank you, I can take it up myself. I need to go to the hospital later to visit a patient."

Cheng Yizhou thought of Pei Yuanshan.

He knew about Pei Yuanshan's illness; his grandfather had mentioned it.

But he didn't mention anything about visiting her in the hospital.

This is their family secret, and also a promise they made many years ago—to never see each other again, in life or in death.

That's why he studied at No. 3 Middle School.

Because the other people's grandchildren either chose Imperial High School or went to No. 1 High School.

Or, like Pei Wenyan, those who are a bit older have already graduated.

In addition, since he had stopped liking to study since junior high school, his grandfather put him in No. 3 Middle School, hoping that he could grow up happily in a more relaxed atmosphere, without expecting him to achieve anything academically.

But he doesn't think that way anymore.

He needs to study hard so that he can reclaim what rightfully belongs to him.

Bai Su pointed this out.

He also understood it.

Therefore, Cheng Yizhou didn't say anything more and gave her the skincare products first.

"The blanket is too big and heavy. I'll help you carry it upstairs on Friday."

"it is good."

Bai Su left with her things.

Cheng Yizhou watched Bai Su enter the residential area until she was out of sight, then he told the driver to drive away.

……

When Bai Su returned home, she first put away the things Cheng Yizhou had given her, and then went to her study to begin making medicine.

The study has now become her "pharmacy," but it looks a bit empty because many of the things she just bought haven't arrived yet.

She made a pill using the most primitive method, carefully put it in a porcelain bottle, and then went out again to take a car to the central hospital.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Pei Wenyan came up from the ward door and said in a very soft voice, "Grandpa, you've arrived."

Bai Su nodded and asked about Pei Yuanshan's condition in the afternoon as she walked towards the ward.

"Grandpa is doing well. He took two naps this afternoon, and his spirits improved each time. He even asked me twice when you were coming over."

"It's good that he's in good spirits; he'll get better soon."

Pei Wenyan hummed in agreement and said, "It's all thanks to you."

As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the ward.

Pei Yuanshan seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.

Upon seeing Bai Su, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Master, you've arrived."

After saying that, he was about to get out of bed.

Bai Su quickly stopped him: "You need to rest and recuperate. Just lie down and relax."

Pei Yuanshan obediently lay down.

Upon seeing this, Pei Wenyan pursed his lips slightly.

He had tried to persuade his grandfather many times to lie down and rest, but he just wouldn't listen.

He lay down after Bai Su said just one sentence.

Pei Wenyan now believes Bai Su's identity to be about 80% of the truth.

Of the other two points, one is in doubt, and the other is something he himself hopes is true: Bai Su is the ancestor.

Otherwise, it's not a good thing for the old man to listen too much to a swindler.

He even felt that if Bai Su asked for the position of chairman of the Pei Group now, his grandfather would agree.

Therefore, he would rather there be such a mysterious thing as rebirth in this world than for Bai Su to be a fraud.

Bai Su had no idea what Pei Wenyan was thinking; she was carefully taking Pei Yuanshan's pulse.

"Your pulse has stabilized a bit more. I was worried that you might get too excited when you see me, which could cause health problems again."

Pei Yuanshan said, "Don't worry, I will get better soon."

He was very excited, but he told himself that he had to get better so that he could serve his master.

"Dinner? Have you eaten? I need to take my medicine after dinner."

Giving him medication while he was unconscious that day was a last resort. Now that he's awake, we should proceed as usual.

"This medicine is very good for the heart and also has a detoxifying effect, but it can be a bit harsh on the spleen and stomach."

"I haven't eaten yet. I've been waiting for you. Wen Yan said you thought the food at Xinfu Lou was delicious, so I had him call the head chef from Xinfu Lou and rent a place across the street so he can cook for you anytime."

"...It's too much trouble."

"Your affairs are never a bother. I wish I could do them for you myself."

"If there's a chance, when you're discharged from the hospital, make me your best meatballs."

Pei Wenyan looked at the old man in surprise: "You can cook?"

He had never seen the old man enter the kitchen since the beginning of his career.

I've never heard of the old man making meatballs.

Grandpa Pei said, "This is what your ancestor taught me. Meatballs are the only dish I've ever mastered. But I've been too busy lately and haven't had a chance to cook since."

I don't want to cook either.

Without people to provide feedback, who will eat the food?

He then praised Bai Su, saying, "Your ancestor's cooking skills are far superior to those of the chef at the New Mansion."

Pei Wenyan glanced at Bai Su again.

Bai Su knew things that even he didn't know.

My doubts have lessened.

Seeing that Old Master Pei was already giving instructions on what dishes to prepare, he quickly wrote it down and told someone to go to the other side to have the chef start cooking.

Just then, a bodyguard came in to report: "Someone wants to come in and visit Elder Pei."
