Class 1 and Class 2 were on the same floor, so the sound of Su Ge and Xiao Mo arguing quickly reached them. However, the process of the two arguing was so speechless.

"Xiao Mo, from now on, you don't need to concern yourself with my affairs, do you hear me?"

"Fine, you said it yourself. You'd better not come begging to me again."

"I would never beg anyone but you. Who gave you the right to stand up for me on your own initiative? Why did you issue a challenge to Ji Ye?"

"Fine, fine, so in the end, you still favor him, don't you? Then what am I?"

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Ji Ye and I are just ordinary classmates."

"Ordinary classmate? Do you think I'm blind? Su Ge, what am I supposed to do with you?"

"I just don't want you to cause trouble because of me, Xiao Mo. I'm here to study and learn. I don't want to get into so much trouble, do you understand?"

The students in Class One, especially Bai Xinyi, all had a distorted expression when they heard this. Her deskmate even asked with a laugh, "If someone like her is considered a good student, then what is someone like you? How dare you say that? You're quite good at deceiving yourself."

"Maybe she's smarter than me and can get high scores without much effort!"

"I guess she uses all her intelligence to scheme against Xiao Mo and Ji Ye. I have faith in you; you'll definitely beat her next time."

"I will try my best."

"I just didn't want you to suffer!" Xiao Mo roared again. "They're all bullying you, is it wrong for me to stand up for you?"

Su Ge sobbed, "They didn't bully me. I was the one who made the mistake first. I disturbed Ji Ye and Bai Xinyi's studies."

"How could you be so foolish? They're not worth your sadness at all."

The students in Class One exchanged speechless glances: "No, it's because she cares."

"Xiao Mo is ridiculous. The woman he likes cares about another male classmate, but what he cares about is that the woman he likes was rejected by Ji Ye?"

"What a crazy couple."

"In short, I won't allow you to do this again." After saying this, Su Ge ran out, with Xiao Mo following closely behind her, and the two of them skipped class together.

The teachers were quite helpless after they found out. They weren't worried about Xiao Mo, since the Xiao family was wealthy and powerful, and whether he studied well or not was not important. They just felt it was a pity about Su Ge. She entered the school with such high scores, but instead of studying hard, she caused so much trouble in such a short time.

However, the other party is the heir of the Xiao family, so they can't interfere too much. Perhaps Su Ge himself is also willing? After all, once he is tied to the heir of the Xiao family, wouldn't he get more in the future than if he worked hard on his own? And it would be much easier and more effortless.

As for whether their relationship, which is so different from their previous one, will have a good outcome, that's beyond their ability to predict. After all, Su Ge is an adult and should be able to make her own judgments.

Su Ge didn't return to the classroom until the third period, her face flushed. People were speculating about what had happened between her and Xiao Mo. She was really good at manipulating Xiao Mo.

Bai Xinyi was now in the last row to the side of her original seat. Seeing that Su Ge was not paying attention to the lesson after returning, but was daydreaming, she shook her head and stopped paying attention. She would not lose to someone like Su Ge. She firmly believed that even the most talented person could not stop studying.

Su Ge didn't go to Ji Ye again throughout the day, which relieved Ji Ye. However, she hesitated to speak to Bai Xinyi several times. After school, seeing Bai Xinyi board the bus without looking back, she lowered her head sadly.

"Brother Xiao, your wife seems really unhappy. Aren't you going to comfort her?"

Xiao Mo's eyes darkened: "Get me that woman's information."

"Brother Xiao, didn't your wife tell you not to interfere? What if she finds out?"

"If you don't tell me, who will know?"

After returning home, Bai Xinyi put down her schoolbag, skillfully cooked the rice, then picked out the vegetables, and went to the window, the brightest spot, to do her homework.

Actually, the mother and daughter were locals and owned a house before. Although the house was small, it was a warm haven for the family. But everything changed when Bai Xinyi was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Bai's father suddenly fell ill with a serious disease. In order to treat her father, the family sold the house. But fate did not favor them in the end. After losing the house, her father still did not survive.

But Bai Xinyi and her mother have no regrets at all; they only resent the capriciousness of fate that took away their family.

They didn't have any other relatives. After her father fell ill, her mother had to quit her job to take care of him. So after her father passed away, it was difficult for her mother, who was of a certain age, to find a job. In the end, she found a cleaning job that was quite strenuous and had long working hours.

She often advised her mother to find a less stressful place, but her mother refused, fearing that a better place would be, and that the two of them wouldn't be able to afford the rent. So, after school, Bai Xinyi would always do as much as she could around the house so that her mother wouldn't have to work so hard when she got home.

Calculating the time, Bai Xinyi finished part of her homework before cooking the dishes. Just as she finished cooking the two dishes, her mother pushed open the door and came home.

"Didn't you say you'd wait for Mom to come back before doing it? School already requires a lot of mental effort," Mrs. Bai said with concern.

Bai Xinyi smiled and raised her eyebrows: "It's precisely because studying is mentally taxing that we need to do some mindless activities to distract ourselves."

“You, it’s all your mother’s fault for not being capable enough.” Bai’s mother always blamed herself, feeling that the family environment had hindered her daughter.

"Mom, please don't say that anymore. You've already done a great job raising me. Come on, eat your food."

"Mom just thinks you deserve better."

"So I'm studying hard so that I can earn money to buy you a big house in the future. Mom deserves the best too."

As Bai's mother listened, her eyes reddened. Everyone says that children from poor families mature early, but aren't they just forced to mature?

Ms. Bai works as a cleaner in an office building. She happily shared what happened today with her daughter: "Today, I met a very kind young lady from the administration department. She gave me all the waste paper and cardboard that her company didn't want, and I sold them for more than fifty yuan!"

"Wow, how lucky!" Bai Xinyi didn't feel embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she was very happy for her mother.

"Tomorrow I'll buy them two pounds of small tangerines and distribute them to the administrative staff. It's not much, but it's a small token of my appreciation."

"Mom, you really love this job!"

"Although the working hours are a bit long, it's really not too tiring, and most of the people in the building are very friendly and won't deliberately make things difficult for you. How about you? How are things at school?"

Bai Xinyi didn't mention her conflict with Su Ge, but instead picked out some positive things to say: "Unlike what's shown on TV, the rich kids in my class are all very kind. They don't look down on students like me who have special talents, and the teachers also pay a lot of attention to my studies."

Mrs. Bai smiled, her wrinkles deepening: "That's good, that's good."
