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

Fu Qiyu looked into the distance, seemingly lost in memories.

"At first, I was just an ordinary person, but because I worked hard enough, I became the first college student in my village to be admitted to university."

"At that time, everyone was praising me. I once thought I was the most special one, and even thought I might be a genius."

"But after I got into university, I realized that the world has no shortage of geniuses."

"So I put in a hundred times more effort than I did for the college entrance exam, studying day and night..."

"Fortunately, my efforts paid off. I eventually got a job at a research institute and met a very dedicated mentor."

"But I didn't slack off because of that. Instead, I continued to delve deeper into that field day after day. Until I entered the International Research Institute and met a girl I fell in love with at first sight..."

Fu Linsheng became more and more engrossed in listening.

"And then? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Fu Qiyu lowered his head, and a layer of mist welled up in his eyes at some point.

"I was pretty sure she had feelings for me too, so I planned to confess to her after the research experiment ended, but I never expected..."

His voice trembled, and he could hardly continue.

Fu Linsheng couldn't help but start making wild guesses.

"Did she fall in love with someone during her research experiments?"

Fu Qiyu gave a bitter smile and said, "If only that were the case. I would rather she had fallen in love with someone else than be separated from her by death..."

Fu Linsheng stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "She...is dead?"

"Yes." Fu Qiyu nodded: "Back then, our experiment was set up in the desert; it was an explosion experiment..."

"But for some reason, a child appeared in this place that had been isolated."

"She sacrificed herself to save that child..."

"Later, I died at her grave because I was too heartbroken."

Fu Linsheng suddenly froze.

The blood in his body seemed to flow backward in an instant, and his face turned bright red in a flash, and then quickly turned ashen white.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Fu Qiyu noticed that Fu Linsheng's expression was off and worriedly reached out to support his shoulder.

But in the next instant, both of their hands were grabbed tightly by Fu Linsheng.

"What does that child look like? What's his/her name?"

Fu Qiyu didn't understand why his grandfather was asking this, but he still answered truthfully: "I don't know... I was immersed in the pain of her sacrifice at the time. I couldn't even tell the difference between night and day, let alone know what the child's name was. I just spent my days drinking..."

"Then... what's your sweetheart's name?"

A warm feeling appeared on Fu Qiyu's face.

"Her name is very beautiful, her name is... Song Shiyi."

……

"Song Shiyi!"

"Master!"

A huge shout was followed by a huge explosion.

Bai Su suddenly sat up in bed.

Seeing the sunlight streaming through the gap in the curtains, she realized that she had just had a nightmare.

I dreamt of the moment before she was blown up.

A moment ago, she saw two figures in the distance.

The figures are vaguely Chang Sheng and Pei Yuanshan.

Why would I suddenly dream about this?

Bai Su rubbed her aching head and picked up her phone to check the time.

Six o'clock in the morning.

I woke up half an hour earlier than usual.

However, she noticed that there were more than thirty missed calls on her phone.

They came from two different numbers.

One number belonged to Fu Linsheng, and the other was an unknown number.

She glanced at the time of the calls; they were all around 11 p.m.

She went to bed earlier than usual yesterday, and habitually put her phone on silent while she was asleep, so she missed these missed calls.

Just as she was about to retaliate, Bai Su thought it was still early, so she gave up for the time being. She went to wash up first, and then ran two laps around the neighborhood until she was slightly sweaty before coming back to take a shower.

I came out of the shower and my phone was vibrating.

Bai Su picked it up and glanced at it; it was still Fu Linsheng calling.

Why did you call so many times last night, and now you're calling again so early this morning? Is something urgent?

Bai Su didn't even bother to dry her hair before quickly pressing the answer button.

"Feed?"

"My benefactor!" Fu Linsheng's excited voice rang out, "Do you have time to meet with me and my grandson now? I have something very important to tell you."

Bai Su thought something had happened to Fu Lin, but when she heard it was to bring her and his grandson together, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression also became serious.

"I've said it before, I won't agree to this. Don't bring it up again, or I won't see you again."

After saying that, Bai Su hung up the phone.

Fu Linsheng called again soon, and this time Bai Su simply blocked him.

She'll remove Fu Linsheng from the blacklist after he's calmed down for a while.

As for that unfamiliar number... without a doubt, it must be Fu Linsheng's alternate number.

Bai Su added the number to her blacklist as well.

At the same time, the doorbell rang.

Cheng Yizhou came to call her for breakfast.

During this period, Bai Su had been eating at Cheng Yizhou's place.

It's too much trouble for her to cook for herself, and since Aunt Yunlan cooks very well, she's gotten into the habit of eating there.

After sitting down at the dining table, Bai Su asked, "Have you finished the homework I assigned you before bed last night?"

"I'm done writing, I'll go get it for you!" Cheng Yizhou ran off to get it.

Bai Su ate breakfast while checking Cheng Yizhou's homework.

All ten questions are highly difficult.

Except for the last question, which I didn't solve, I got all nine other questions right.

"You've made great progress. I'll give you some extra help after school today, and you should be fine for the competition."

"Really?" Cheng Yizhou asked, a little uncertain. "With my skill level, can I really get into the top fifty?"

"Getting first place is indeed a bit difficult for you, but getting 30th or 40th place shouldn't be a problem."

"Then you can help me after school..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Su's phone rang again.

It was Pei Yuanshan who called.

What does Xiaoshanzi want with her at this hour?

Could it be that there's something wrong with her health?

Bai Su quickly answered the call and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master! Something terrible has happened! You need to ask for a day off from school and come to me immediately."

Bai Su was even more puzzled: "Where do you feel unwell?"

"You'll see when you get here. I assure you, you'll be extremely, extremely, extremely happy!"

"...If you keep keeping me in suspense, I'm blocking you."

"No, no, no, Master, I'll tell you the truth, it's Fu Linsheng, his grandson..."

Before she could finish listening, Bai Su hung up the phone.

After all that, it turns out it was all because of that one thing.

Are they all getting senile?

She calculated her age; she's already seventy. How could she possibly marry a child?

It's crazy.

Bai Sula blackened Cheng Sihai's name.

"What happened, Ancestor?" Cheng Yizhou asked curiously.

"It's nothing, some people are just bored and have nothing better to do. Let's eat quickly, get to the classroom early, and we can memorize a few more formulas."

Cheng Yizhou stopped asking questions and began quickly shoveling the porridge into his bowl.

However, after finishing her meal, Bai Su received a call from Ye Xiaofeng.

I thought it was Fu Linsheng and his group again, and I was just about to give them a good scolding, but after the call connected, the other party started cursing first.

"Ye Baisu, are you even human? You're even targeting your own family, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

It is Dong Suying.

She was clearly furious; even her voice was trembling.

Ye Xiaofeng then said, "I thought that no matter how ruthless you were, you wouldn't do something like this. I never expected that you would actually join forces with outsiders to turn against our own people?"

Bai Su remained expressionless.

Director Lin is quite efficient; the Ye couple found out about the news so quickly.

She said indifferently, "I'm a petty person by nature, so don't offend a petty person like me."

"you--"

"You still have a chance to salvage your current losses. As long as you sign, I'll pretend nothing happened. I'll also persuade Director Lin to change his mind."

"Ye Baisu! Aren't you afraid we'll cause trouble in front of the Pei family?"

"You're the ones who should be afraid. They haven't lost patience with me yet. Dealing with you is just a matter of a word for me."

"you……"

"I'll have someone deliver those two contracts to you. You'd better sign them today, or you'll bear the consequences."

After saying that, Bai Su hung up the phone.

"Are they from the Ye family?" Cheng Yizhou asked.

Bai Su nodded: "I hope they can sign this time."

Otherwise, she might actually take them seriously.

"Why go through all this trouble? If you let my grandfather go out, he certainly won't dare not sign."

"It's not that you need to let your grandfather know."

The car arrived at the school quickly, and Bai Su instructed Lao Ding to deliver the two documents that needed to be signed to the Ye family.

"Message me as soon as they've signed."

"Yes, Miss Bai Su," Old Ding replied respectfully.

……

The Pei family.

Pei Yuanshan said to Fu Linsheng with some annoyance, "You have to compensate me! My master has blocked me too."

Fu Linsheng, however, was not in a hurry at all.

"Don't worry, she won't be angry anymore once she finds out why we called her."

As he spoke, he looked at his grandson.

He now looks at his grandson with very mixed feelings.

She was originally his grandson's woman, but now she's the sweetheart of his benefactor...

Will we determine status based on our past lives or on our current generation?

Fu Qiyu guessed what Fu Linsheng was thinking.

He smiled and said, "You will always be my grandfather."

Fu Linsheng's feelings were slightly less complicated.

Pei Yuanshan suddenly suggested, "How about we go to Master's school to find her?"

Pei Wenyan, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "You'd better wait until the old lady gets out of school before you say anything. Don't forget, she studies at No. 3 Middle School, and that grandson of the Cheng family... also studies at No. 3 Middle School."

If you go to the school, there's a high chance you'll run into them.

Pei Yuanshan fell silent.

"Then... wait for her after school. Xiao Fu, you and your grandson... you and Team Leader Chang go to the school gate to wait for her."

"That's the only way."

However, no sooner had Fu Linsheng finished speaking than Fu Qiyu stood up.

"Where are you going?" Fu Linsheng asked hurriedly.

"I'll go wait across from the school now."

Are we supposed to wait here until school lets out in the evening?

He simply couldn't wait.

Anyway, that obstruction was directed at Bai Su's disciples; he wasn't one of Bai Su's disciples.

The curse had no effect on him.
