Bai's mother did not tell her daughter Bai Xinyi about being fired before. It was only after she found a new job and worked there for two days without being fired that she confessed to her daughter.

"The first month's salary was 16,000, and then it increased to 20,000?" Bai Xinyi was also surprised. Even in City A, only a few white-collar workers could earn that much, so she looked worried.

Mrs. Bai explained with a smile, "I asked around with other caregivers, and most of the caregivers who serve wealthy people earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. My salary is 20,000 yuan, which is relatively high, but not outrageous."

"That's good. But Mom, why did you suddenly want to change jobs?"

After much hesitation, Bai's mother finally told him what had happened. She was worried that if the person behind her couldn't deal with her and instead turned to cause trouble for her daughter, she would have to work long hours from morning till night.

"Mom doesn't know who she offended, that they would go to such lengths to target a cleaning lady like me. But Xinyi, why don't you stay at school? Mom won't be able to have dinner with you anymore, and I'll feel more at ease if you're at school."

Bai Xinyi thought for a moment and shook her head: "Although the school waives tuition and miscellaneous fees, accommodation costs extra. Our school accommodation is very expensive. Mom, that person only targets your work, so it seems he wouldn't dare to do anything else illegal. Don't worry, I will be extra careful. From now on, I can have dinner at school before coming back."

“That’s fine. If the school’s meal allowance isn’t enough, Mom will give you more money every month. You can top it up yourself. Mom will have money after she changes jobs, so we don’t have to be as frugal as before. Just make sure you’re safe and don’t get lost outside.”

“Mmm.” Bai Xinyi was genuinely happy. If she had the chance, she wanted to sincerely thank the person who had helped her family in time. If it weren’t for the kind aunt who hired her mother, she didn’t know how long her mother would have been anxious because she lost her job.

But who exactly is the person behind the scenes targeting Mom's work? She knows Mom well; she's always kind and friendly to everyone, which is why the administrative staff always give her cardboard boxes. She doesn't think Mom would offend anyone.

After thinking it over, she felt that in the end, it was probably still herself, after all, she came into contact with so many rich people at school every day.

So who could it be? Su Ge's suitor? Besides that, she couldn't recall having any conflicts with anyone else. Could it be Xiao Mo? Despite having no evidence, Bai Xinyi couldn't think of anyone else.

If it really is Xiao Mo, then these two are indeed right as their classmates said: acting crazy and irrationally, and then blaming others for their own actions. Just because their family is rich, does that mean they can bully others at will?

At this moment, Bai Xinyi felt an intense urgency to improve her life. If it weren't for that kind aunt, how would she and her mother have fared? You rich people can just casually say a few words, but you never thought that it would be a devastating blow to an ordinary family like ours!

After returning to school, she did not go to find Su Ge, nor did she question Xiao Mo. She acted as if nothing had happened, just like always. As for Su Ge's repeated visits to her, she either ignored him or made other excuses to leave.

If it were an ordinary person, after being rejected two or three times, they would understand what it meant and would stop looking for her. But Su Ge's thought process was really problematic. Even so, she did not give up, so Xiao Mo blocked her after school.

"Bai Xinyi, Su Ge wants to be friends with you, which is a favor to you. Don't be ungrateful. Do you think your mother can rest easy just because she found a new job?"

Bai Xinyi suddenly looked up at Xiao Mo. She had guessed correctly. Her mother's previous job was ruined by this man. So she sneered, "Just because I don't want to be friends with Su Ge anymore, you want to destroy my family?"

Xiao Mo didn't think he had done anything wrong. He said casually, "If you're willing to coax Su Ge every day and make her happy, I can give your mother a higher-paying job. Even after you graduate, you won't have to face setbacks like other college students. There are many job opportunities at the Ji Group for you to choose from."

"And then if Su Ge has any little temper tantrums, you'll punish me and Mom again, right?" Bai Xinyi had long seen through him and Su Ge. The two of them were disgusting, a match made in heaven.

"You and your mother are paid high salaries by me, shouldn't you do this?"

"Pah! Did my mother and I beg you for jobs? Do you think we can't survive without your Xiao family? Why should I be dragged into your relationship? I'm not Su Ge's maid, and this isn't a feudal society. Not everyone cares about your so-called charity."

"Shut up! Who gave you the guts to talk to Brother Xiao like that?" Xiao Mo's underling glared at her angrily, seeing how stubborn she was.

Bai Xinyi declared confidently, "The country gave me the courage."

The underling sneered and threatened, "You think being in the underworld is so easy? You dare to challenge Brother Xiao? Even within the bounds of the law, Brother Xiao has plenty of ways to punish you and your mother."

Bai Xinyi's face paled. She wasn't afraid of having difficulties herself, but she was afraid that something might happen to her mother. If she had known this day would come, she should have stayed away from Su Ge when school started. Su Ge was a jinx!

Why should my mother and I suffer this undeserved misfortune just because I no longer want to be friends with Su Ge?

"The Xiao family has quite the arrogance." Ji Ye and Han Jie slowly walked over and said, while the girl who was sitting at the same table as Bai Xinyi pulled her behind her to protect her.

Han Jie waved his phone at them and pointed to the surveillance camera above: "The data is all in my phone. If anything happens to Bai Xinyi and her mother in the future, the police will contact you immediately."

Xiao Mo remained expressionless, but his underling panicked. Xiao Mo had the protection of the Xiao family, but his family couldn't withstand an investigation.

"Ji Ye, are you going to get involved in this?" Xiao Mo squinted at him.

Ji Ye was the same height as him, and the atmosphere was extremely tense at this moment, but he still looked calm: "Bai Xinyi is a classmate of ours, so naturally we can't let strangers bully her. Because you don't want to be friends with your girlfriend, you threatened her with her family, and you've already taken action. Your Xiao family is really powerful!"

He had already left, but when he heard that Bai Xinyi was being blocked by Xiao Mo's men, he immediately told Uncle Chen to drive back. Fortunately, he didn't hesitate. Bai Xinyi is so innocent. Why should she become a victim of your relationship?

Xiao Mo sneered: "You can protect her for a while, but can you protect her forever?"

Ji Ye scoffed: "With an heir like you, how can the Xiao family be arrogant forever? If I show this video to the elders of the Xiao family, what do you think they will do?"

Xiao Mo's eyes instantly turned terrifying: "You dare!"

Ji Ye continued, "Or if we tell Su Ge your true colors, will she stay away from you? Xiao Mo, we were supposed to keep to ourselves, but if you insist on targeting our class, don't blame me for being ruthless."
