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

As they parted, Fu Qiyu asked, "Do you have time tomorrow?"

Tomorrow is Saturday, so Bai Su doesn't need to go to school. She plans to work on her hacking skills over the weekend and tutor Cheng Yizhou as well.

Overall, the arrangements were quite relaxed.

"Yes, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Don't you know what day tomorrow is?"

"Is there some kind of holiday tomorrow?" Bai Su was about to pick up her phone to check when Fu Qiyu grabbed her hand.

"No need to look anymore, tomorrow is your birthday."

Bai Su was taken aback, then smiled sheepishly.

"I was so busy I forgot..."

"It's okay, just remember what you want to remember. I'll remember your birthday for you."

Bai Suhui grasped Fu Qiyu's hand.

"Thank you, Asheng..."

When no one is around, she still likes to call him Asheng.

Fu Qiyu smiled and said, "I'd like to invite you to your birthday party tomorrow night. You absolutely have to make time, okay?"

"Yes, I will."

"Then I'll be leaving first."

Bai Su waved and watched Fu Qiyu get into the car.

However, Fu Qiyu didn't leave. Instead, he rolled down the car window and waited for her to get in first.

"You go first, I'll leave after you go upstairs and turn on the light."

"You should go first, I haven't seen you off yet."

I'm afraid you'll be scared going upstairs alone.

"I……"

"Cough cough cough!" A coughing sound suddenly came from upstairs.

Bai Su subconsciously looked up and saw Cheng Yizhou.

He stood on the balcony, amused, watching the two of them.

"Neither of you need to see each other off. I can watch you both go at the same time, so neither of you will lose out."

Bai Su rolled her eyes at Cheng Yizhou, waved to Fu Qiyu, and went upstairs first.

It's really... a bit embarrassing to have a junior watch the show.

Fu Qiyu didn't care about these things; on the contrary, he hoped that everyone could witness their current happiness.

Because his happiness came so hard.

……

Upon returning to the Fu family home, Fu Qiyu first greeted Fu Linsheng, indicating that he had returned.

Seeing that Fu Linsheng was playing chess with his friends on the computer, he quietly left the study and went to find Butler Fu.

He instructed Steward Fu to do something a few days ago, and three days have passed, so it should be almost done.

Sure enough, Butler Fu took out a stack of documents.

"This is the information I collected regarding the major underground forces in China, as requested by you..."

"So many?"

"There aren't many underground forces, but I was afraid you'd want detailed information, so I looked up detailed information in advance."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Young master, you're too kind."

Fu Qiyu nodded, took the documents back to his room, and began to carefully read through them, page by page.

Bai Su asked him to help investigate the "curse," but he had no clue whatsoever, so he could only start by investigating from that angle.

After all, if you want to do something shady, you might have to go through these people.

The next day arrived quickly.

Bai Su spent the whole morning tutoring Cheng Yizhou, and also helped Sun Yuze solve a technical problem.

By the time I finished, it was already lunchtime.

Just as I stepped out of the study, I saw that Cheng Sihai and Cheng Wuyan had arrived at some point, each carrying a cake.

Cheng Yizhou set off a firework display behind her, startling Bai Su.

"Bai Su! Happy birthday!" Cheng Yizhou said with a grin.

Cheng Sihai and his son also stepped forward to wish her a happy birthday and presented her with a gift.

Cheng Sihai gave her an aquamarine necklace, which looked very valuable, with each gemstone on it being quite large.

Cheng Wuyan presented her with a pair of high heels studded with small diamonds, which sparkled under the light.

Cheng Yizhou, being short of money, didn't buy any expensive gifts, but instead gave him the Lego set he had been working on late into the night.

It's a very beautiful villa, looking like a mini version of the Cheng family manor.

He already knew that Bai Su had designed the manor, so he specially made a miniature landscape for her.

Since Cheng Wuyan was present, Cheng Sihai didn't say much, only congratulating her on turning eighteen.

Bai Su was pleasantly surprised and accepted all the gifts.

"You guys know it's my birthday today?"

"Your birthday..." Cheng Sihai blurted out, but quickly realized his mistake and said, "Of course I remember your birthday."

Bai Su was born on the same day and month as the original owner of the body, so he didn't need to remember it at all; it was automatically in his mind.

Bai Su smiled with relief, but her eyes were red.

She is a person who is easily moved.

"Thank you..."

The four of them had lunch together.

Cheng Wuyan left soon because he had company business to attend to, leaving Cheng Sihai and Cheng Yizhou behind.

Happy birthday, Master.

Only then did Cheng Sihai dare to call him master.

"I never imagined I'd be able to celebrate your 18th birthday a second time."

Bai Su said, "I never thought I'd have to be eighteen again."

"You'll stay eighteen forever!" Cheng Yizhou said.

"What do you mean, 'you, you'? Your dad's not here, have you forgotten what you're supposed to say?" Cheng Sihai glared at Cheng Yizhou.

"Alright, what does it matter what we call each other? Let's cut the cake!"

Cheng Yizhou immediately ran to get the two-tiered cake that was placed to the side.

After lighting the candles, Cheng Yizhou drew the curtains and turned off all the lights.

"Make a wish quickly, ancestor."

Bai Su nodded, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.

She made three wishes.

Her first wish was for all the people she loved to be healthy and for everything to go smoothly.

The second wish is that the "curse" can be lifted as soon as possible, and that the person behind the deaths of Xiaobai and the separation of his disciples can be found soon.

Her third wish was quite grand.

It is a blessing for China to become more and more prosperous.

After making three wishes, Bai Su blew out the candles, and Cheng Yizhou got up to turn on the lights.

However, when the lights were turned on, Cheng Sihai was seen with tears streaming down his face.

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, then quickly handed over a tissue.

What's wrong with you?

"It's nothing... I'm just... just too happy..." Cheng Sihai wiped away his tears and snot like a child, looking somewhat comical.

Bai Su, however, could understand his emotional fluctuations.

"I'm also very happy to be reunited with you all..."

"Master... Waaah..." Cheng Sihai hugged Bai Su and burst into tears.

Bai Su wasn't impatient; she just patted his back tenderly.

She knew that although she and her apprentices were not much different in age back then, they actually regarded her as an older sister or even a mother.

"Okay, don't cry anymore. I'll always be there for you from now on."

Cheng Sihai nodded vigorously.

After finally managing to appease Cheng Sihai, Cheng Yizhou personally escorted him back. However, as soon as he returned to his room, he saw Pei Yuanshan and Pei Wenyan enter the house at some point.

An old man and a young boy were holding a cake at the same time.

The older one was also in tears.

Bai Su: "..."

With mixed feelings, she stepped forward and gently hugged Pei Yuanshan.

She coaxed Pei Yuanshan for a long time, just like coaxing a child.

Two hours later, Bai Su finally saw Pei Yuanshan and Pei Wenyan off.

They each brought a gift.

Pei Yuanshan gifted her a valuable sapphire bracelet.

It wasn't a coincidence; they all knew that Bai Su liked blue.

What Pei Wenyan gave was rather special: all the shares of a technology company.

He even sent Bai Su an email to explain.

"This company is just starting out. I originally wanted to lead it myself, but I feel that it might have a brighter future under your guidance... So, please accept it."

Bai Su thought about it and did not refuse.

She had originally planned to start a technology company.

However, she doesn't have much experience in business yet, and her foundation is relatively weak, which is why she chose to join Sun Yuze's company.

However, after working with Sun Yuze for a while, she has gained some understanding of technology companies.

It's time to take it a step further.

"Thank you, I will work hard to make 'Era' a success."

Era is the name of this technology company.

Not long after, Bai Su received a call from Fu Qiyu.

"Change into something comfortable and come downstairs. I'll take you somewhere."

"it is good."

Bai Su didn't ask where she was going. She simply changed into some comfortable clothes and went downstairs.

In this life, Fu Qiyu is a month younger than Bai Su, and he doesn't have a driver's license yet, so he hires a driver.

The two sat in the back row.

"Where to?"

"Can I keep you in suspense for a moment?"

"certainly……"

"The journey will be quite long, and we'll be taking a plane soon. We might not arrive at our destination until tonight. If you're sleepy, you can take a nap first."

"it is good."

She was indeed a little tired after comforting two elderly women in their seventies who were crying like children.

After adjusting the seat to zero gravity, Bai Su fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because Fu Qiyu was by her side, Bai Su slept exceptionally soundly.

Bai Su slowly opened her eyes as the sun set.

But he discovered that he was already on a private jet.

"When was I...?"

"I carried you up here," Fu Qiyu said, handing you a glass of warm water. "Are you thirsty? Drink some water first, and I'll ask them to bring dinner over."

"it is good."

Bai Su took a couple of sips of warm water and turned to look out the window.

But what they saw in the distance was actually a desert.

"Why did you bring me to the Northwest?"

"It will land soon; you'll find out in a bit."

"Um……"

Bai Su then stopped asking.

About twenty minutes later, the plane began its descent and landed at a small military-civilian airport.

Seeing this airport, Bai Su vaguely guessed where he was going to take her.

Sure enough, an hour later, Bai Su arrived at the gate of an abandoned research institute in an SUV.

This research institute was the very one they had worked at before—International Research Base No. 3.

Although the research institute is no longer in use, it is still under the care of someone.

However, Fu Qiyu had already used his family's connections to make arrangements beforehand, so the two of them were able to enter without any hindrance.

The equipment here has long been removed, but some old tables and chairs have been left behind.

Everywhere the two went, they could find memories of their past lives.

"This dormitory..."

Bai Su stopped in her tracks at the entrance of dormitory 019.

This is her dormitory.

Conditions were tough back then, and she shared a dormitory with Du Moli.
