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

Bai Su knew that even if she pressed him for details, Pei Yuanshan wouldn't tell her.

Even Cheng Yizhou and Cheng Sihai, who are both unable to keep a secret, refused to reveal more than a word, let alone Pei Yuanshan, who is already a cautious person.

Bai Su had no idea what had happened between them.

However, Cheng Yizhou's words made her realize that her previous guess was wrong.

It wasn't simply a conflict between them; rather, some external factor prevented them from getting close to each other.

What she needs to figure out now is what this external factor is and whether it is related to Xiaobai's death.

But no matter how much I think about it, it's all a tangled mess, and I can't figure it out at all.

Bai Su was already slightly annoyed.

These people had clearly encountered something very serious, but none of them were willing to tell her.

Did they feel she couldn't help, or had their prestige diminished over the years?

Bai Su felt that it was more likely the former.

She is too weak now, so they think it's better to keep it from her.

Perhaps, it was even for the purpose of protecting her.

Bai Su thought about it more and more and felt that this possibility was more likely.

Therefore, if she wants to figure things out, she must first make herself stronger.

Having found her direction, Bai Su was slightly less agitated.

Pei Wenyan saw her out.

On the way, Pei Wenyan brought up the matter that the old man had instructed him to do.

"Grandpa asked me to avenge you and make you pay for all the grievances you suffered some time ago. But after thinking it over, I still want to ask your opinion first."

Bai Su nodded: "You did a good job. Those are my personal matters, I don't need to do anything about them, but there's one person I'd like you to help me with."

"Who?"

Bai Su lowered her voice and said a few words.

Pei Wenyan nodded immediately: "Yes, I will handle it as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your help."

"You don't need to be so polite with me, Grandpa said that your business is his business, and also my business."

He is now quite adept at acting as a junior in front of Bai Su.

"Oh, right." Before parting, Bai Su remembered something: "You asked me to come to your company this weekend, and I'm free on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. When do you need me to come over?"

Pei Wenyan choked slightly.

He said that only to verify Bai Su's identity.

Now that she's passed even the grilled fish test, there's no need to continue verifying it.

Bai Su was indeed the deceased ancestor.

He coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "If you're very busy, you don't necessarily have to go. Give your people some time, and they'll be able to handle it."

"Time is money. I'll help if I can, without delay. I've recently gained some new insights into equipment research and programming, so I'll give it a try."

Since Bai Su had said so, Pei Wenyan then gave a time.

"How about Sunday afternoon? You need to detox for Grandpa at noon, which is perfect since you'll be leaving the hospital then. I'll take you straight to the company."

He also wanted to see if his powerful ancestor was still as formidable as before, fifty years later.

After all, times have changed, and technology is developing rapidly. The methods our ancestors used to follow may not be applicable today.

He wasn't testing whether Bai Su was truly the ancestor anymore; he simply wanted to see her abilities.

After all, Grandpa really praised our ancestors to the skies.

He was such a reserved person, yet he regarded his ancestors as deities.

Just as they reached the hospital entrance, Pei Wenyan was about to ask Bai Su to wait while he went to drive her home when he spotted a van with the Cheng Group logo on it.

He stopped and said to Bai Su, "Grandmother, shall I leave you here?"

Bai Su hadn't seen the car at the door yet, and assumed that Pei Wenyan might be tired today and wanted to go back to rest early, so she nodded.

"Go to bed early. You have company matters to attend to and to take care of things at the hospital. Make sure you get plenty of rest."

"Yes. I'll go then."

"Let's go back."

Bai Su watched Pei Wenyan leave, and as she turned around, she saw the door of a car not far ahead open, and Cheng Yizhou stepped out.

He didn't take many steps forward, but when he saw Bai Su notice him, he waved to her.

Bai Su walked over quickly and asked in surprise, "You've been here the whole time?"

"Yeah, it's hard to get a taxi at night, and I don't have anything else to do anyway..."

"Didn't you say you were going back to look at your notes?"

"I remembered my backpack was still in the car, so I looked at my notes while waiting for you."

"You don't need to wait for me anymore. What if I come out very late?" Bai Su said, glancing back at her.

Pei Wenyan had already walked far away and was no longer visible.

So the reason he didn't see me off was because he saw Cheng Yizhou.

They didn't even want to meet.

Bai Su frowned slightly.

Seeing Bai Su's expression, Cheng Yizhou assumed she didn't want him to wait and was about to say something unpleasant.

But the words were still in his throat, and he swallowed them back.

Bai Su is no longer the Bai Su of the past; she is now... his ancestor.

He had to listen to whatever his ancestors said.

So annoying!

Cheng Yizhou got into the car without saying a word, without waiting for Bai Su to get in first.

After Bai Su got into the car, he spoke again: "Grandpa called me, he's waiting for you at your door."

Bai Su was taken aback: "Purple Bamboo Villa?"

"Um."

"What happened? Why did you suddenly come to my place?"

"I don't know either."

The car started quickly and headed towards Zizhu Villa.

When they arrived at the door, they didn't see Cheng Sihai.

Cheng Yizhou remained calm, pushed open the door to the emergency exit, and led her to the door of another unit on the same floor.

The door was open, and the lights inside were very bright.

"Why are you going to someone else's house...?"

As they were talking, Cheng Yizhou led them inside.

Cheng Sihai was seen instructing his servants to move things.

Bai Su had already realized what was going on and stepped forward: "You bought the house next door?"

Cheng Sihai was busy calling people to move things when he heard Bai Su's voice and realized she had arrived.

"Master," he said boastfully, "I'm quick, aren't I? This will be my home from now on, and I can come and keep you company often."

Bai Su: "..."

She didn't know what to say.

I was very touched, but I also felt it was a bit too much.

"You have your own family, why waste this money?"

And it shouldn't just be a waste of money.

It will take a lot of effort to buy the house next door in such a short time.

"How can something that concerns you be considered a waste of money?"

He added, "I've already heard from Zhouzhou that this isn't a house you bought. If you don't want to live there anymore, you can move here anytime. The property deed is in your name."

Cheng Yizhou's lips twitched.

He's grown up, and he's still his grandfather's grandson, yet he still doesn't own a house of his own.

However, he wasn't jealous, just a little surprised.

Grandpa actually went to this extent for Bai Su.

One can imagine what Grandpa would think if his thoughts were exposed.

It's very likely they'll kill him.

Cheng Yizhou closed his eyes, feeling very irritated.

Cheng Sihai had already introduced Bai Su to the servants who had been assigned to this area.

"This is Lao Ding, and this is Yunlan. One of them can run errands for you and be your driver, and the other can cook for you. If you don't like being bothered, you can come over for a meal, or have her deliver it to your door."

Bai Su nodded, not refusing Cheng Sihai's offer.

She lives alone, and finding food and transportation is indeed a problem.

"They are very reliable; they are the same people I used before, so you can rest assured," Cheng Sihai whispered to her.

Bai Su smiled and said, "Fifty years have passed, and you are indeed more reliable than before."

Cheng Sihai used to be exactly like Cheng Yizhou.

Cheng Sihai couldn't tell whether Bai Su was praising him or insulting him, but the word "reliable" was a good word, and he was happy with good words.

Even if it's not a good word, it's still something his master wants him to improve, and that makes him happy.

At this moment, Old Xu walked over and said, "Sir, the bed is ready."

Bai Su's eyelids twitched: "You're sleeping here tonight?"

Cheng Sihai said, "Of course, Master, I just want to be closer to you. My son is away these days, and I get angry just looking at that mother and son at home. I might as well relax here."

"……no."

"Why, Master?"

"Even if your son isn't here, he and his mother will still be curious about where you went. What if they find out about this..."

"If we found it, we found it."

He wasn't afraid of them investigating.

"So, do you want them to trace it back to me?" Bai Su asked solemnly. "I don't want any more incidents before the college entrance exam."

A promise, the Ye family, and Chen Qiang—that's enough to give her trouble.

She also needs to be with Cheng Dong and Lin Yu and her son, otherwise she will be distracted.

Despite Cheng Sihai's persistent pleading, Bai Su still refused.

"Let's go back quickly, it's getting late."

Her attitude was firm, so Cheng Sihai had no choice but to go back.

But he kept Cheng Yizhou.

"With him around, you can ask him for anything anytime. Besides, he's often out having fun, so Lin Yu and her son won't suspect anything."

Bai Su was about to refuse when she came up with an idea.

One thing that made Lin Yu and her son suffer a setback and made Cheng Wuyan see through their intentions.

She nodded in agreement: "Then let Yizhou stay."

Cheng Yizhou's heart was beating a little fast, but a hint of dissatisfaction showed on his face.

"Grandpa, are you using me as her bodyguard?"

"What do you mean 'she'? She's your ancestor! Forget being her bodyguard, I'd even let you ride her like a horse, as long as she's happy."

"..." Cheng Yizhou's face darkened.

Bai Su spoke up at the right moment: "Alright, stop joking like that."

She said to Cheng Yizhou, "I do need you to come with me somewhere tomorrow. If you don't have any other plans, you can just stay here for the night?"

"Since you're begging me... Ah!" Before the words were even out of his mouth, Cheng Sihai gave him a hard knock on the head.

"How dare you speak to your ancestors like that?"

"Grandpa, I..."

"What do you mean 'you'? I have to be extremely respectful to my master, let alone you? If my master tells you to stay, then you stay!"

Bai Su had to mediate again.

After this commotion, another half hour passed, and Cheng Sihai, feeling a bit sleepy, finally left.

Seeing that Cheng Yizhou's blanket was too thin, Bai Su went to her side and brought over another one.

They also gave gifts to Lao Ding and Yunlan, who stayed behind to work.
