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

"It was clearly their housekeeper who lost the medicinal herbs, yet the Ye couple are blaming Master? That's utterly absurd!"

"They actually kicked Master out to live here?!"

"Who's this Chen Qiang? Why is he always targeting Master?"

Old Pei looked at each point one by one, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He wanted to continue reading, but Pei Wenyan put the documents away.

"Grandpa, leave these things to me. You should rest well; your health is the most important thing. Didn't you say you'd cook for Grandpa and make meatballs after you were discharged from the hospital?"

Old Pei originally wanted to snatch the documents back, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, he pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll leave these things to you. After you've done them, you have to tell me how you did them and what the results were, so I can vent my anger."

"Don't worry, I will definitely teach those guys a lesson for our ancestor."

Compared to Elder Pei, who was eager to avenge Bai Su, Pei Wenyan had more to think about.

He verbally agreed, but in his heart he was thinking: before doing these things, he planned to ask his ancestors for their opinion.

During lunch, the patriarch mentioned that he didn't need to interfere in the Ye family's affairs.

If he rashly intervenes, he might make things worse and displease the ancestors.

If the ancestor is unhappy, then the grandfather will definitely be even more unhappy.

Therefore, instead of doing it directly, it's better to ask our ancestors for their opinion first.

If the ancestor strongly disagrees, he will not do it.

Since the old man is still in the hospital, it would be easy for him to keep it from him before he even took action.

……

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye; it was Friday.

Xu Zhen finally found out why Bai Su had dealings with the Pei family.

The subordinates reported: "Ye Baisu's grandmother and Master Pei were fellow students in their early years."

"Old Mrs. Bai passed away at the beginning of the month. The two hadn't been in contact for a long time, and Old Pei didn't even attend the funeral."

"But I haven't heard of any conflict between the two. I think they probably just went down different paths, which is why they lost contact."

"The reason they've reconnected is probably because they heard about the old lady's passing. Old Master Pei remembered that she had such a granddaughter, and she just happened to be in the capital. That's why their relationship seems so close. He probably wants to take care of the Bai family's only heir."

Xu Zhen's vision went black.

Bai Su's grandmother was actually Master Pei's senior sister!

This world is so small.

There's just one strange thing.

"Aren't the Ye family aware of this connection?"

The subordinate replied, "They probably don't know. As far as I know, their family is notorious for climbing the social ladder and trying to establish connections. If they knew their daughter had this relationship with the Pei family, they would have already spread the word far and wide; they wouldn't be keeping quiet like this."

"That's right!" Xu Zhen nodded. "If they knew about our relationship with the Pei family, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths for that piece of land. They even approached Mrs. Jiang, hoping she could mediate between us."

It's such a small matter as a piece of land. The Pei family only needs to ask for it, and the Xu family has no chance to snatch it.

With just a word from them, the Ye family could put their name on that piece of land.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea to sow discord between Bai Su and Old Master Pei.

Old Master Pei was angry with them because of Bai Su. If he disliked Bai Su, he would naturally find the Xu family more agreeable.

To achieve this, we need to use those two scoundrels and idiots from the Ye family.

Xu Zhen stood up from his office chair.

"Prepare some gifts; I'm going to visit Mr. Ye."

"yes!"

……

Bai Su has been going to the hospital every day after school for the past two days, and Cheng Yizhou knows this, but he has kept quiet about it.

until today.

He said, "You promised me you'd come to my house. You're not going to the hospital again today, are you?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."

She told Xiaoshanzi yesterday that she wouldn't be going to the hospital today.

Xiaoshanzi's acupuncture detox is done every three days, but he doesn't need to do it today.

When he couldn't answer, Xiaoshanzi remained silent for a while, clearly throwing a tantrum.

Bai Su recalled that Xiao Shanzi wasn't like this before; he was the most composed and reserved among his fellow disciples.

Perhaps it's because of his age and being a patient, but his childlike nature has resurfaced.

However, he eventually agreed, telling Bai Su that she must go on Saturday, and that he had prepared a gift for her.

Cheng Yizhou felt there was something ambiguous about Bai Su's words.

She wouldn't go back on her promise, so she refused to agree to cut ties with the Pei family, right?

When I'm in a bad mood, I talk less.

Cheng Yizhou didn't say much all day, and his mood only improved during the last class.

"After school, I'll go with you to buy some dessert first, and then we'll go straight to my house."

"Okay." Bai Su nodded.

As they were talking, Teacher Chai, Chai Wenjuan, came in.

Like Chen Qiang, she also teaches mathematics.

The last period was math class.

She came in carrying a stack of exam papers.

"We had a quiz yesterday, and the scores are out. Class monitor, please distribute the papers, and I'll announce the scores of the top ten students."

Chai Wenjuan is considerate of her students' feelings, so she doesn't announce the results of students who rank outside the top ten in public.

"First place... Bai Su, 100 points."

Everyone looked at Bai Su, and some even gave her a thumbs up.

Because the students in Class Two learned about Bai Su's background, and because news of Dong Suying causing trouble at the door that day had spread, they didn't look down on Bai Su; on the contrary, they all felt sorry for her.

Therefore, everyone sincerely congratulated Bai Su when she won first place.

"We need to study hard so that we can support ourselves in the future and not be burdened by our families of origin." That's what everyone thinks.

Chai Wenjuan quickly announced the name of the second-place winner.

He was the class monitor of Class Two.

"72 points."

"Third place...59 points..."

"Tenth...42nd point."

After the scores of the top ten were announced, everyone looked at Bai Su in surprise once again.

Bai Su's score is far ahead.

Originally, they just thought Bai Su had good grades, but now, looking at the gap between the second-place student and Bai Su, it's like the difference between an ordinary person and a genius.

"The class monitor is the best in math, how come he only got 72 points?"

"Bai Su is a genius! She got a perfect score!"

"I thought I was the only one who found the test difficult, but it turns out it really was very hard."

Chai Wenjuan also praised Bai Su: "You have a great talent for mathematics. Yesterday's test was particularly difficult. Several questions were beyond the syllabus, and some even included advanced math and physics concepts. Everyone should learn from Bai Su."

Everyone applauded and decided to ask Bai Su for help whenever they encountered any problems in the future.

Bai Su has a good temper. When they went to ask questions before, no matter what she was busy with, she would patiently explain the questions to them.

"She has a great personality and excellent grades. The top-performing class deserves to lose her!"

People were discussing it animatedly.

Chai Wenjuan coughed and said, "There is another student I want to especially praise."

Her gaze swept across the entire class, finally settling on Cheng Yizhou.

"This time, Cheng Yizhou also did very well. Although he didn't make it into the top ten, he improved from the bottom to fifteenth place, which is a huge improvement."

Just then, the test paper was handed to Cheng Yizhou. Bai Su glanced at it and saw that he scored 39 points.

At first glance, the score seems low, but judging from the ranking, Cheng Yizhou is at least in the top fifteen.

"Great job. Our efforts these past few days have paid off." Bai Su gave a thumbs up.

This was the first time Cheng Yizhou had been praised for his grades, and two pink clouds floated down his originally arrogant face.

Although she was both happy and shy inside, she pretended to be indifferent, gave a disdainful snort, and said, "What's so special about this? Give me a few more days, and I'll be second place next time."

He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could surpass Bai Su, his "little teacher," but he was confident he could chase after second place.

Moreover, he could have done better this time, but because he hadn't done practice questions for a long time, he forgot that when doing practice questions, you should do the ones you know first and leave the difficult ones for later.

So much so that there were a few questions he actually knew how to do, but he didn't have time to do them because of time constraints.

"Alright, the papers have all been handed out. Let me tell you why most of the questions this time were beyond the syllabus..."

Chai Wenjuan explained to everyone that this exam paper was actually specially prepared by the Academic Affairs Office.

It is for selecting people to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

"In this competition, Principal Zhang ultimately secured three spots for everyone..."

"Based on the results of this test, in addition to the two students from the top class, Bai Su from our class also got a spot in the math Olympiad."

"If you can get into the top 50 in the math Olympiad, you can be admitted to the Imperial University of Peking as an early admission candidate..."

The class immediately erupted in discussion.

"Last year's graduating class also had three spots, but they were all for students in the top-performing classes. This year, our class actually got one!"

"Luckily, Bai Su transferred to our class, otherwise all three spots would have gone to the top-performing class again."

"Now those students from the top classes can no longer look down on others."

"Yeah, our class all got spots, so why do they look down on us?"

There's also a subtle competition between classes.

In particular, Chen Qiang's constant badmouthing of Class Two caused the Rocket Class to be especially hostile towards their class.

Unfortunately, they themselves are not motivated enough, and they never do as well as them in any exam.

Fortunately, this time was different; they "snatched" Bai Su away.

"Quiet!" Chai Wenjuan tapped the table and said, "Let's begin the lesson now. Today we'll be going over this test paper. Although most of the questions are beyond the syllabus, there are still several complex ones that are worth discussing. Everyone, listen carefully..."

Originally, Cheng Yizhou was a little distracted from studying because he was going to invite Bai Su to his home for dinner, but for the first time ever, he took out his draft paper and prepared to study properly.

He will make even greater progress.

It wasn't about saving face, but about getting what I wanted.

He now has a very clear goal.

During their school years, many students do not study diligently because they lack goals.

Bai Su smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction as she watched the tree she had personally cultivated slowly grow into a towering giant.

Cheng Yizhou noticed Bai Su's gaze and snorted a little embarrassedly, "What are you looking at..."

"It's nothing," Bai Su said, looking away.

Cheng Yizhou turned slightly to the side and began to find a new solution to the problem, following Teacher Chai's instructions.

He would glance at Bai Su every now and then to see if she was making fun of him.

Bai Su couldn't help but chuckle.

He's such a child.
