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

"What did you say? Cheng Dong dropped out of school and ended up in the police station?"

She grabbed the classmate who was relaying the message and asked him.

Their homeroom teacher is this student's aunt, which is why he was able to find out the news immediately.

Upon seeing that it was the stunningly beautiful Ye Yixue, the boy patiently said, "Yes, the chairman of the Cheng Group personally came to process my withdrawal from school. My aunt told me."

"What did he do wrong?"

"I don't know about that... However, I do know a secret: Cheng Dong is not the only son of the Cheng family; he is merely an adopted son..."

Ye Yixue felt a little dizzy for a moment.

Things she couldn't understand before suddenly connected at this moment.

For example, when she took Bai Su to dinner with Cheng Dong, Bai Su mentioned a place name, and Cheng Dong immediately panicked...

For example, the reason why Cheng Dong insisted on having dinner with Bai Su was because of Cheng Yizhou.

He was very wary of Cheng Yizhou, the real son of the Cheng family, which is why he desperately wanted to understand everything about him, including Bai Su, who was close to Cheng Yizhou.

So all her efforts and longing turned out to be for someone who was just an insignificant adopted son.

Bai Su, on the other hand, easily took advantage of her proximity and got together with the real young master of the Cheng family...

She hated it so much!!

Just then, the homeroom teacher walked in.

"Everyone, please return to your seats quietly. We have a new student enrolling, and I'd like to introduce him to you all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a handsome young man walked in.

His skin was very fair, and his phoenix eyes seemed to exude an invisible pressure.

That face was like the most exquisite sculpture, attracting the attention of every girl present.

Ye Yixue was already devastated by Cheng Dong's situation, and when she saw the boy who came in, she was stunned without realizing it.

"Fu, come on, introduce yourself to everyone," the homeroom teacher said with a smile, inviting him in.

The boy's face didn't show much expression; he simply nodded slightly and introduced himself to the class, saying, "Fu Qiyu, I hope you will all guide me in the future."

As soon as he said that, some people immediately guessed his identity.

"Fu Qiyu? Isn't that... the heir to the Fu family, the richest family in the world?"

"Yes, it really is him... I've seen reports about him online. He studied abroad for a long time, started inventing when he was thirteen, and has already obtained more than seventy invention patents. He is known as the pride of China by people abroad."

"That's strange, I feel like I've seen him before... Oh right, I saw him coming out of the principal's office two weeks ago. Why is he only reporting for duty today?"

"That's not important! Cheng Dong left, and Fu Qiyu came. Our class is going to be surrounded by girls from other classes again."

The homeroom teacher tapped the blackboard.

"Alright, quiet down. The college entrance exam is just around the corner, why are you making so much noise?"

The classroom then quieted down.

"Qi Yu, you can sit in the seat that Cheng Dong used to sit in."

The homeroom teacher pointed in a certain direction.

Ye Yixue's heart skipped a beat.

Fu Qiyu was positioned directly behind her.

After Fu Qiyu sat down, Ye Yixue inexplicably felt an invisible pressure.

She was someone who had been to big events, so she knew very well where this pressure came from—it was Fu Qiyu's powerful aura.

He... seems to be more outstanding than Cheng Dong.

"Alright, let's begin class. Qi Yu, please use the old book on your seat for now."

Cheng Wuyan processed Cheng Dong's withdrawal from school, but did not take any of his belongings, and asked the school to handle the matter.

This is perfect for Fu Qiyu to use first.

Fu Qiyu nodded, picked up a book, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

For the past two weeks, he has been trying to find his ancestors.

He searched almost the entire capital but couldn't find her.

The name Bai Su isn't very common, but none of the people with the surname Bai and given name Su are her...

Where did she go?

Did she not even come to the capital?

It seems he needs to expand the search area at home, and not just limit it to the capital.

Soon the class was over, and the homeroom teacher called Fu Qiyu to the office for a talk.

"Qi Yu, it's like this: our school has secured twenty spots in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Those who rank in the top fifty in the competition will be directly admitted to Imperial University early..."

"I understand that you had excellent grades while studying abroad. So I'd like to ask if you've ever considered participating in the International Mathematical Olympiad? Of course, this is also the principal's idea."

The meaning is clear: if he's willing, the Imperial Court can open this back door for him.

When is the International Mathematical Olympiad?

The homeroom teacher replied, "Next Monday."

"Okay, I'll participate."

Given Fu Qiyu's personality, he would never have agreed to do something like this through back channels.

But now, besides studying, he has something even more important to do: find his ancestors.

But his grandfather gave him a strict order: he must prioritize his time on the college entrance exam, or he would stop helping him find someone else.

Now that he has the opportunity to be admitted early, he naturally doesn't want to spend too much time on the college entrance examination.

Once he gets into the top fifty, he can stop coming to school and focus on finding people.

"Then it's settled..." the homeroom teacher said happily.

Fu Qiyu has excellent grades. If he can participate in the competition, there will be even more students from the Imperial High School who will get into the top fifty.

Although this is a back door, if Fu Qiyu had taken the test last week, he could have gotten a spot based on his own abilities.

Moreover, Fu Qiyu did not take up the spots of other innocent students; they simply gave him the spot of Cheng Dong, who had already dropped out of school.

So this doesn't count as using connections.

……

Before we knew it, it was time to get out of school in the evening.

Bai Su packed her schoolbag and received a call from Pei Yuanshan, only then remembering that today was the day he was discharged from the hospital.

She actually finished all the work... and even agreed to go to the Ye family because of it.

After thinking it over, Bai Su still didn't want to disappoint Pei Yuanshan, so she said, "Wait for me, I'll be right there."

As for the Ye family...

Bai Su looked at Cheng Yizhou.

"Could you... go ahead for me?"

Cheng Yizhou's face darkened: "No, I want to go with you."

"Okay, then you come with me to the hospital first to pick up Pei Yuanshan from the hospital."

"I've been thinking about it, so I'll go to the Ye family first and scout things out for you," Cheng Yizhou chuckled dryly.

Bai Su shook her head, thinking to herself, "Just as I thought."

Her disciples, including their grand-disciples, were all terrified by the so-called curse.

She needs to become strong as soon as possible and find out who's behind this!

The two split up; Cheng Yizhou went to the Ye family first, while Bai Su went to the hospital to pick up Pei Yuanshan from discharge.

The saying "the older they get, the younger they become" is indeed true. Pei Yuanshan used to be the most independent among his apprentices, but now, he even insists on being picked up by her when he is discharged from the hospital.

But Bai Su wasn't impatient. She knew that her old apprentice knew he was getting old and didn't know how many more years he had to live, so he was very attached to her.

The same applies to Cheng Sihai.

He wanted Bai Su to live at the Cheng family's house so that he could spend as much time with her as possible while he was still alive.

So Bai Su has decided that no matter how busy she is, she will see them every day.

However, the two refused to meet, so she could only try to meet at different times each time.

She eagerly awaits the moment when the truth behind the "curse" is revealed, so she can witness their reunion.

She can also travel to fewer places.

However, during this trip to the hospital, besides Pei Yuanshan and his son, Bai Su also met someone else.

He was a man in his early sixties with a large mole under his brow bone.

Bai Su's eyelids twitched violently when she saw him.

This is……

"Master, this is Fu Linsheng. He's the little boy you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save..."

There were no outsiders in the ward, so Pei Yuanshan introduced Bai Su to Fu Linsheng beforehand.

Therefore, there were no obstacles to the two recognizing each other.

"I never imagined... that you were still alive..." Fu Linsheng was moved to tears and immediately knelt down before Bai Su.

Bai Su quickly tried to stop him, but he insisted on kneeling.

"Please accept my bow! Otherwise... I fear I will die with regrets."

Bai Su had no choice but to accept Fu Linsheng's kneeling and kowtowing.

Pei Wenyan, who was standing nearby, saw this and thought to himself, "Luckily, there are no outsiders in the ward."

Otherwise, if outsiders knew that China's richest man was kowtowing to a high school student, it would probably shock the whole world.

"Alright, get up quickly..." Bai Su helped Fu Linsheng up and asked him, "Were you injured after that?"

Fu Linsheng shook his head.

"I only suffered minor, superficial injuries..."

At that time, Bai Su held him tightly in her arms. After the explosion, Bai Su's body was burned to a crisp, while he... only suffered minor external injuries.

Fu Linsheng then recounted why he had ended up at the testing ground.

"Back then, during the internal strife within the Fu family, I, as the most legitimate heir, was targeted by a collateral branch of the Fu family because of my young age. They tricked me into going there..."

"They want to kill me so they can fight for the Fu family's inheritance."

"They thought I was going to die, but they never expected that you would risk your life to save me."

"After that, I swore in my heart that I would make those who harmed me and you pay for their crimes with blood. And I finally did it... but I will never have the chance to repay you again."

Bai Su said, "Saving you was my own choice, you don't need to think that way. Besides, I'm still alive now."

"Yes, you're still alive! This is the best news I've heard in the last fifty years! I have no way to repay you, so I wanted to give you this..."

Fu Linsheng handed over a document.

Bai Su glanced at the title and realized it was a share transfer agreement for the Fu Group.

Fu Linsheng transferred all his shares, and was just waiting for Bai Su to sign the transfer agreement to take effect.

Bai Su shook her head and refused.

"I can't accept this. I didn't save you for these reasons."

"Of course I know you are of noble character, and saving me was just an instinctive act on your part, without any ulterior motives. But besides that, I really can't think of anything else to give you."

"You don't need to give me anything. Seeing that you're doing well and have even developed your family into what it is today, I'm already very gratified."

"My benefactor, you must accept this..."

Fu Linsheng kept trying to persuade her, but Bai Su refused to accept it no matter what.

Fu Linsheng thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "In that case, I'll give you my grandson!"
