Master Bai heaved a sigh of relief. He then continued to introduce Su Yu to the others gently. “These are your second uncle and second aunt. That’s Xuerou. She’s the same age as you. You’ve already met her older brother, Bai Ziteng.”

Su Yu looked over and saw that there was indeed a girl who was about the same age as her beside her second aunt and second uncle. This girl and her mother looked very calm, nodding reluctantly at her out of respect for Master Bai. Her second uncle, on the other hand, was rather enthusiastic and greeted her affably.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt,” said Su Yu.

Master Bai was overjoyed. He didn’t expect Su Yu to be able to integrate into the family immediately, but at least she didn’t resist. This was a good start.

Then, he pulled Su Yu’s hand and asked, “Are you hungry? Don’t just talk, let’s eat first. Ronghua, tell the waiter to serve.”

“Okay, Dad.” Bai Ronghua quickly stood up and pressed the service bell.

The waiter quickly brought the dishes to the table and the whole family picked up their chopsticks, looking very happy and harmonious. Master Bai kept putting food into Su Yu’s bowl as he asked her about the past. Su Yu had nothing to hide. As long as the old man asked, she would answer truthfully.

But as he asked, the old man suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something. He asked hesitantly, “Yu, I heard that you’ve already dropped out of high school. Have you thought about which school you want to go to for your third year? Is there any school that you like?”

Senior year? School? Su Yu had been drinking her soup with her head lowered. When she heard this, she suddenly lowered her eyes and her expression darkened.

If Master Bai had not said anything, she would not have wanted to continue her studies. To her, high school and university were just for a diploma and she didn’t need these. But now, she couldn’t directly express her thoughts. After a pause, she said, “Not yet,”

Bai Xuerou, on the other hand, took the pause negatively. She sneered as she thought, ‘If she couldn’t get in, then she couldn’t. What did he mean by not thinking about it? Grandpa was really too much. He even asked her which school she liked. With her grades, could she just go to any school she liked? The school had to be willing to accept her!’

Pei Jinyu glanced at the girl who was eating with her head lowered. He sat up straight and leaned against the back of the chair, casually saying, “Feng City First High School is not bad.”

“Feng City First High School?” Master Bai’s idea was to bring Su Yu back to Yu City to study. However, when he thought of Su Yu’s other identity, she was Pei Jinyu’s fiancée! The power structure in Yu City was complicated. If Su Yu were to return to Yu City directly, she would most likely run into a lot of trouble, and an old man like him would not be able to protect her.

After much consideration, the old man said, “Feng City First High School is indeed not bad. The teachers are also good. Yu, what do you think?”

Feng City First High School? Su Yu pursed his lips. She didn’t want to stay in Feng City, but when she saw the anticipation in the old man’s eyes, she couldn’t refuse. She could only nod and say, “I guess so. It’s all the same to me.”

“Then we shall enroll you in Feng City First High School!” Master Bai made the decision.

He was recuperating in Yu City, and Rongxuan was also working in Yu City. If Su Yu stayed in Feng City, he would have to ask his second son’s family to help take care of her. His eyes locked on Ronghua’s family and he frowned. “Your second brother has his own house in Feng City. He still has a year left in high school. If you don’t like to live on campus, you can live with him”

With the exception of Bai Ziteng, everyone from the second family had rather unsightly expressions. Bai Ziteng had his own house, but why would the old man arrange for her to live outside of the family? Was he being wary of them? Bai Xuerou was still young, so she immediately showed an unhappy expression and pouted. Bai Ronghua was calm, but he was also a little embarrassed. Song Qingyu, on the other hand, quickly took a sip of tea to hide her emotions.

The atmosphere turned cold. At this moment, Pei Jinyu said, “I’ll be staying in Feng City for a while. I can help to take care of her.”

Su Yu suddenly looked at the man, and their eyes met. His eyes…

*cough* Su Yu choked on a mouthful of soup and quickly looked away.

…

In a certain room in Jade Fragrance Restaurant.

Su Man and Su Weiguo’s family ate the entire meal in a daze. They had been thinking about Su Yu’s matter and there were several times when they were simply distracted during the conversation. Fortunately, Wang Yali and Lu Wei had a good relationship so they were able to facilitate Su Man’s admission to the AIEL Academy of Art. Su Man’s complicated feelings were finally relieved.

Eventually, they were able to have a pleasant conversation during the meal.

When they were done, Wang Yali, Su Weiguo, and Madam Jin stood up to send Lu Wei and her daughter off. Su Man followed behind.
