As for the rest of the day, Bai Yueyue was dragged by Li Jieyue to attend extra classes, and it wasn't until midnight that she returned to her room to rest, exhausted, with Hu Meier's help.

Hu Meier was absolutely certain that Bai Yueyue must not be seen by anyone in the room. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if outsiders discovered that the "octopus" lying on the bed was Bai Yueyue.

"Miss, I have prepared the water. Please allow me to help you change and wash up." In Bai Yueyue's room, which could barely be considered her utopia, Hu Meier would appropriately relax her requirements so that Bai Yueyue could truly unwind.

"Ugh~ I'm so tired, let's call it a day." Bai Yueyue buried her face in the blanket, swinging her legs back and forth. She had finally finished a major task, and now she was being dragged into hellish tutoring. This was really painful!

"Miss, Mei'er understands your hard work, and Mei'er will do her best to let you rest well, but please maintain basic etiquette! So, please forgive Mei'er's rudeness." If Bai Yueyue were to go to sleep without washing up, it wouldn't be relaxation, it would be a disaster.

"Oh, Mei'er, don't take off my shoes! Please at least wait until I'm seated. Hahahaha, Mei'er, this is extremely disrespectful, don't touch my feet, hahahaha..."

After Hu Meier forcibly changed Bai Yueyue into a bathrobe, she silently stood aside.

Bai Yueyue's face was flushed because her feet were ticklish. She said angrily, "Mei'er, this is disrespectful! I am the master!"

This is too much! Have I spoiled Mei'er too much? She doesn't even respect me!

Upon seeing this, Hu Meier immediately knelt down and said, "Because given Miss's personality, she might really not take a bath. Miss is so tired today, her body must be very exhausted, and resting like this would be very uncomfortable. Moreover, Miss has to go to welcome Lord Qin Limin tomorrow, so she should start maintaining her proper demeanor from now on. Meier begs Miss to punish me for my rude behavior."

So you'll do it again next time, right?

Bai Yueyue knew that Hu Meier was thinking of her, and Bai Yueyue wasn't really angry. After all, Hu Meier was her most reliable personal attendant.

"Well then, Hu Meier, please add the factory inspection to my weekly schedule before I come out."

"Yes, Miss."

I told you I actually dote on Hu Meier!

Today passed peacefully, though not very pleasantly. In fact, to prevent herself from dreaming about those unpleasant scenes while sleeping, Bai Yueyue used magic to stop herself from dreaming.

As usual, he got up and, as usual, forgot to use the bell, allowing Hu Meier to enter the room at the door.

This time, since she was meeting her elders, Hu Meier prepared a more demure makeup and outfit for Bai Yueyue.

"Mother, would you like to come with me?" Bai Yueyue asked after breakfast.

"Yes, Qin Limin told me to go too," Li Jieyue replied. Qin Limin didn't tell her the reason, but Li Jieyue had already guessed that it must be related to the capital, and might even involve the imperial family. Qin Limin had been ordered not to reveal it.

Another troublesome matter. The mother and daughter simultaneously made the same gesture, indicating their dislike for the hassle.

Upon arriving at the Qin family residence, Bai Yueyue followed Li Jieyue out of the car. Several people were already waiting, but Old Master Qin Zhenming was not present. This relieved the two women, as it at least indicated that the other party's status wasn't that high.

"Aunt Li Jieyue, welcome." Qin Zijing stepped forward first to greet her, and Qin Ye followed behind her.

Hmm, Bai Yueyue confirmed once again that Qin Ye was no match for Qin Zijin.

"Bai Yueyue, we also welcome you back," Qin Zijin said to Bai Yueyue, who was standing next to Li Jieyue.

"Brother Qin Zijin, I am also very happy to be able to return to the Qin family and spend time with you all again."

Pah! I didn't want to come here. Besides, does Qin Ye look like he's welcoming me?

They just met yesterday, yet they both engaged in this hypocritical conversation.

As for Qin Ye, although he disliked Bai Yueyue, he wouldn't say it in this situation, and simply chose to ignore her.

Bai Yueyue didn't mind, even though she thought the other person was childish and that their way of expressing dislike was stupid. Being able to calmly conceal one's inner emotions like Qin Zijing was the proper behavior for a noblewoman, but as long as the other person didn't cause her trouble, that was fine.

However, Bai Yueyue was also clear that Qin Zijin had definitely suppressed Qin Ye, not in terms of daily life, but in terms of knowledge and experience.

Qin Ye is already seventeen years old, but he has never lived in the Qin family before. Although he is also a nobleman of the Qin family, he is not proficient in noble skills at all, and cannot even hide his emotions in a basic way.

This is not something that can be solved simply by saying that she is young, because Bai Yueyue herself has only been studying for less than half a year, but her performance is much better than Qin Ye's.

Brother Qin Zijin, is it really okay for you to treat your younger brother like this? And what about our adoptive father and grandfather? Aren't you going to do anything about it?

Bai Yueyue didn't know what they were thinking, but she knew at least one thing: unless there were special reasons, Qin Ye probably had no chance of becoming the head of the Qin family.

"Lord Qin Limin is back." With this announcement, everyone knelt down to welcome Qin Zijin, led by Qin Zijin.

Li Jieyue, on the other hand, received a summons from Qin Zhenming and went to Qin Zhenming's room with her personal attendant.

After many days, Bai Yueyue saw her godfather again.

However, Qin Limin looked noticeably haggard. With the help of his personal attendant, he got out of the car and went to Bai Yueyue's side, disregarding his status, he squatted down and rubbed Bai Yueyue's face.

"Hmm~"

After a minute, Qin Limin finally let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had vented all his anger.

"Godfather, how can you rub a lady's face like that? It's so rude!" Bai Yueyue said unhappily. Fortunately, her makeup was on point today and Qin Limin hadn't rubbed it off.

And Godfather, this is happening in public! Look at Qin Ye's expression, he's practically dying of jealousy!

Qin Limin had no time to pay attention to Qin Ye, and instead whispered to Bai Yueyue, "Isn't this all the trouble you caused me?"

Huh? What do you mean I caused trouble? I was perfectly well-behaved. I even finished dealing with the village incident! Although Bai Yueyue was somewhat dissatisfied, she didn't show it because another guest had arrived.

The person who got off the bus was a woman. Hmm, she looked to be in her sixties or seventies. She was wearing glasses and was very well-groomed. But why would someone of her age come all the way from the capital to Asia City?

Bai Yueyue was very curious about her and wanted to know what kind of person Qin Limin had specifically asked her and her mother to come.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Zhou Qing, the vice president of the Supreme Research Institute. He has come to Asia City for inspection on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor."

Ugh, now I get it! This person was sent by the Imperial Clan, so it's obvious they're after me. Godfather, isn't this just sending me to my doom?! You should have protested more!
