It was a middle-aged man who kept craning his neck and looking around.

It was none other than Ye Xiaofeng.

Ye Xiaofeng went to the hospital with Dong Suying. After being rebuffed by Pei Yuanshan, he returned home furious. Then, Dong Suying reminded him to personally send someone to the fishing village to investigate Granny Bai.

Indeed, some people in the fishing village knew that Granny Bai and the Pei family from the capital were fellow disciples.

Upon receiving this accurate news, Ye Xiaofeng perked up again.

He wanted to invite Bai Su to live at his home.

That day at the hospital, Pei Yuanshan didn't recognize him, not because he didn't recognize Bai Su, but because he didn't recognize himself.

It must be that Bai Su spoke ill of him to Pei Yuanshan that made Pei Yuanshan turn him away.

So what he needs to do now is to win Bai Su back.

As long as Bai Su forgives him, there's still a chance for him to get married into the Pei family.

Cheng Yizhou also saw Ye Xiaofeng, and he subconsciously stepped in front of Bai Su.

He still vividly remembers the last time Dong Suying caused trouble.

But last time, he was having a fight with Bai Su and didn't show up in time.

This time it's different.

No one from the Ye family will have the chance to bully Bai Su again!

However, Bai Su nudged his back, signaling him to move aside.

"Bai Su?" Cheng Yizhou looked at her with some concern.

"You have to believe me, I can handle this little thing."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yizhou reluctantly stepped aside, but still followed her closely.

To prevent Ye Xiaofeng from becoming like Dong Suying, who would readily lay a hand on Bai Su and even claimed to be Bai Su's parent, saying she could hit her however she wanted.

It's infuriating just thinking about it.

Bai Su walked over and stood directly in front of Ye Xiaofeng, asking, "What do you need me for?"

Because of the original owner's identity, she still had some feelings for Dong Suying—disgust was also a kind of feeling.

But Ye Xiaofeng was just a complete stranger to him, so his gaze was even colder.

Ye Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when he saw Bai Su.

"Bai Su..." He reached out to take Bai Su's hand, but Bai Su avoided it.

"Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Hehe..." Ye Xiaofeng awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. I just haven't seen you for several days and wanted to invite you home so the family can have a meal together. I also wanted to ask how you've been lately and see if there's anything I can help you with."

Ye Xiaofeng's attitude could be described as ingratiating.

Bai Su frowned, but quickly guessed the reason.

Xiao Shanzi called her and said that Ye Xiaofeng and his wife had gone to the hospital to look for him, and that they already knew that Xiao Bai and Xiao Shanzi were fellow disciples.

It seems they're aiming to establish a connection with the Pei family.

But after hesitating for two seconds, Bai Su nodded and agreed.

"Okay, when?"

"After school today? I'll have your mom make you your favorite food."

Bai Su asked with amusement, "So, may I ask, what do you like to eat?"

Ye Xiaofeng was stunned, but he quickly found an excuse: "I haven't had much contact with you, so I don't know. Actually, I came here in person to ask you what kind of things you like? Besides food, what about toys and household items..."

Bai Su was too lazy to waste her breath arguing with him: "No need for all that trouble, just make something simple. I'll be at the Ye family's place at 6:30 tonight."

"Okay, okay, then your mom and I will be waiting for you."

Bai Su didn't say anything more and left with Cheng Yizhou.

Looking at Bai Su's retreating figure, Ye Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel nauseous.

How dare a little girl act so high and mighty in front of him?

Once he gets involved with the Pei family, he'll definitely teach her a lesson through family discipline, so she'll know what it means to respect her elders!

Ye Xiaofeng left with a dark expression.

At the same time, Cheng Yizhou couldn't help but ask Bai Su, "Why did you agree to have dinner at the Ye family's house? They treated you like that..."

Bai Su said, "Because I also happen to need to talk to them about something."

"What is it?"

"My household registration is still with the Ye family, and I want to change my name back."

"Should we change it to Song Shiyi?"

"No, this name... might cause some trouble. I'll just continue to call myself Bai Su from now on."

Her legendary past life will continue to be written under the name Bai Su.

"Then I'll go with you!" Cheng Yizhou said.

Bai Su did not refuse.

……

When it was time for the third period, this class was taught by Chai Wenjuan.

After she entered the classroom, she announced some news.

"The spot in the previous math Olympiad competition has been changed from Bai Su to Cheng Yizhou."

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion in the class.

"Didn't Bai Su get a perfect score? How come she lost the spot and it went to Cheng Yizhou instead? I remember Cheng Yizhou didn't get a high score, right?"

"Could it be that Cheng Yizhou used his connections with the Cheng family to steal this spot?"

Everyone looked at Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou without prior arrangement.

However, Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou still seemed to have a very good relationship.

It seems they didn't steal it, they bought it.

Indeed, the Cheng family is so wealthy that even a small amount of their wealth would be enough for an ordinary person to live a life of comfort and security.

"No wonder Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou came to school together. She chose money over her future."

"If it were me, I would choose money first. The job market is so competitive these days. Even if you get into a prestigious university, you're not guaranteed a good job. It's better to get immediate benefits than to struggle your whole life."

"But if it were me, I would still choose my future. Earning money through my own abilities is what truly matters."

"Hilarious! Does money even have a black and white distinction? Bai Su's choice is wise. Maybe the Cheng family has promised her a bright future in addition to money. As long as she can get into the Cheng Group, why worry about her future?"

"But I still think it's a waste to give this spot to Cheng Yizhou. This isn't just about one person; it represents the honor of our school. If Bai Su participates, she'll definitely get a place. She's the only person in our school to get a perfect score on that test."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, saying all sorts of things.

These sounds naturally reached Cheng Yizhou's ears as well.

In the past, he would have insisted on a three-hour "battle" with these people, but now he can calmly accept everyone's opinions.

"I will prove with my abilities that I have not wasted this opportunity," he assured Bai Su.

Bai Su smiled and said with relief, "I will help you too."

"Alright, quiet down, let's begin the lesson." Chai Wenjuan patted the table and started explaining the problem.

Soon it was time for get out of class to end, and Chai Wenjuan called Bai Su to the corridor.

"As I mentioned before class, your spot was transferred to Cheng Yizhou, but the registration hasn't been completed yet. If you regret it now, it's not too late..."

"Thank you, Aunt Chai, but I don't regret it. I also believe that Cheng Yizhou will definitely get good results."

Bai Su also started calling Chai Wenjuan "Mom Chai" because she was just like a mother, extremely patient with every student and always considering their needs.

Chai Wenjuan sighed: "Since this is what you want, then let's do it this way."

"By the way, Professor Chai, I wanted to ask, how did the decision to change the quota come about so easily?"

She recalled that Zhang Shu couldn't guarantee that he would get the math group's approval.

"That's what puzzled me too," Chai Wenjuan said. "Normally, it would be difficult to get two-thirds of the people to agree, but Chen Qiang led the way and almost all the teachers raised their hands."

Bai Su understood instantly.

It turned out that Chen Qiang's plan backfired; he intended to make things difficult for her, but ended up helping her unintentionally.

Chen Qiang was one of the people who least wanted her to get into a top university. Even if he didn't do these things, he might still find a way to force her to give up her competition spot.

Chen Qiang must be very pleased with himself right now. It's really interesting.

However, Chen Qiang's time to be smug is running out.

Meanwhile, in the capital.

Jiang Zhenghao, the principal of Dizhong High School, received a call from Chen Qiang.

On the phone, Chen Qiang kept talking about how hard he had worked to squeeze Bai Su out of the competition, trying to let Jiang Zhenghao know that he had done a great job.

Jiang Zhenghao snorted coldly.

"Idiot! You know how difficult the Mathematical Olympiad is. It's better to let her participate than not to. Letting her focus all her energy on the competition will not only be a waste of time, but it will also delay her college entrance exam preparation."

"This..." Chen Qiang was a little embarrassed.

"Forget it! I checked her grades from her previous school, and they were absolutely terrible. Even if she puts all her effort into studying, she won't get into a top school. I have things to do, so I'll hang up now."

Jiang Zhenghao hung up the phone immediately and then quickened his pace into the office.

An important guest was waiting for him in the office.

He pushed open the door and entered, adopting a fawning expression.

"Mr. Cheng...it's an honor to have you here. What can I do for you?"

The person in the office was Cheng Wuyan.

He said calmly, "I'm here to process Cheng Dong's withdrawal from school."

Jiang Zhenghao was instantly shocked.

"Did I do something wrong?"

The Cheng family paid a considerable amount of tuition fees to the Imperial Middle School each year and also built a new library for the school, from which he profited a great deal.

If Cheng Dong transfers to another school, he will no longer have these benefits, so he is very anxious.

"It wasn't you, it was Cheng Dong who did something wrong. He... got into some trouble and is still at the police station, so I'm here to process his withdrawal from school."

Jiang Zhenghao asked in surprise, "Cheng Dong is at the police station? He's your only son, aren't you going to help him?"

"An only son?" Cheng Wuyan asked, frowning. "Who told you he's my only son?"

"No one needs to tell anyone, right? The whole school knows about this... Do you have another son? I've never heard Cheng Dong mention him?"

Cheng Wuyan's face turned ugly.

Unbeknownst to him, Cheng Dong had always considered himself the only son of the Cheng family.

He thought he knew Cheng Dong quite well, but now it seems he knew far too little.

Cheng Wuyan took a deep breath and said, "He is not my only son, but my adopted son. My biological son is someone else."

"This, this..." He really hadn't expected this.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. Let's get the paperwork done now, I don't have much time."

Jiang Zhenghao had no choice but to process Cheng Dong's withdrawal from school.

The news quickly reached Ye Yixue's ears through the homeroom teacher of the Imperial High School's Rocket Class.
