Since they were already friends, Bai Xinyi directly told Ji Ye her guess the next day.

"Is that so?" Ji Ye's expression didn't seem like he really knew. "Before, because Xiao Mo went crazy, I did tell my family a little about the situation. I didn't expect Aunt Song to hire your mother directly?"

Then he smiled sincerely and said, "But Bai Xinyi, you don't need to feel guilty. I heard Aunt Song say before that the caregiver was irresponsible. If Aunt Song really hired your mother because of that, then it's a win-win situation. You don't need to feel guilty."

Seeing his composure, Bai Xinyi stopped thinking about it and said, "Xiao Mo, thank you and Auntie. My mother said she will do this job well."

"That's right. Aunt Song is usually very busy and has worried many times about not being able to find someone she likes. Auntie has helped Aunt Song out of her urgent problem."

After the two talked it over, the matter was considered closed. Bai Xinyi did not feel inferior because of it, and Ji Ye did not do anything to look down on them. The group played together as before.

The class was unusually quiet without Su Ge. Everyone was either studying, watching dramas, putting on makeup, or sleeping, without disturbing each other. Only Zhuang Yueqi kept looking at Ji Ye with resentment.

She dared not approach him now. Now that Ji Ye knew about her past in H City, what chance did she have?

Why would Ji Ye investigate me out of the blue?

Zhuang Yueqi skipped class and left, but no one in the class paid any attention to her, just like no one paid any attention to Su Ge back then.

"You're the one who revealed it, aren't you?" After thinking it over, Zhuang Yueqi could only think of Mei Jiao, who had subtly shown hostility towards her during their first meeting.

Zhuang Yueqi crossed her arms and looked at her: "You have a possessive attitude towards your own brother? Don't you even know if you're worthy of him?"

Mei Jiao was unaware of the details and only felt that she was acting strangely, so she stared at her coldly.

Zhuang Yueqi, however, mistakenly thought she had guessed correctly and immediately exploded: "Mei Jiao, you and your daughter are so close, but you're stabbing each other in the back, aren't you? Do you think you're some kind of good person? You're clearly after Ji Ye's wealth, but you insist on pretending to be loving and affectionate. Who are you trying to disgust? Do you think Ji Ye doesn't know your little schemes? If I can't have it, you'll never have it either."

"You're talking nonsense. My brother and I are related by blood. How can we be the same as you?"

"Blood relationship? Ask yourself, is your kinship with Ji Ye really pure? Ask your mother, has she ever genuinely cared for this son all these years? She's just panicking now that she sees Ji Ye has grown up and can't control him anymore. Bah, even more shameless than me."

Zhuang Yueqi mocked mercilessly: "On the one hand, you want to use me to ease the tension between you, and on the other hand, you're afraid that I'll win over Ji Ye. I've never seen such shameless people as you."

"Zhuang Yueqi, you're asking for it!"

Mei Jiao lunged forward and scratched Zhuang Yueqi's face, leaving deep bloody marks with her fingernails.

Zhuang Yueqi was stunned at first, but after feeling the pain from the blood on her finger, she went crazy and lunged at Mei Jiao fiercely.

The two were engaging in the most primitive form of fighting, scratching each other's faces with their fingernails, pulling hair, and tearing clothes, making the surrounding students afraid to approach.

It had only been a few months since the start of the semester, and Mei Jiao was still very conscious of her image. Because she was Ji Ye's half-sister, the teachers liked her very much, so the teachers who heard the news quickly rushed to the scene.

Then, Ji Ye received a message that the junior high school wanted him to come over. After learning that Mei Jiao had a conflict with Zhuang Yueqi, he quickly figured out the reason.

Then came the cold rejection: "We don't usually keep in touch. You should contact her family about her situation."

The junior high school teacher was embarrassed. From the implication of his words, it seemed that he did not acknowledge Mei Jiao as his sister.

Well, they can't force it no matter what. Mei Jiao's mother will probably arrive soon. It's just that I didn't expect Ji Ye to have such a distant relationship with his mother.

After the teacher left, Han Jie came over and asked, "Why would Zhuang Yueqi go to the junior high school to cause trouble for Mei Jiao out of the blue?"

Ji Ye scoffed: "They originally came together for mutual benefit, and now that they haven't gotten what they wanted, isn't it normal for conflicts to arise?"

Han Jie was speechless: "What do they take you for? I've seen people scheme, but I've never seen anyone scheme like this. How old are you? You're already putting your mind to this. It's making me feel uneasy. You can't just start investigating every woman you meet, can you?"

"I've arranged to meet my uncle this weekend."

Han Jie's eyes lit up: "That's right. Now the person in charge of the Mei family is your uncle, and the cooperation between the Ji and Mei families is still going on. The Mei family is declining, and your uncle certainly doesn't want to lose the cooperation with your Ji family. At that time, he will restrain your mother and Mei Jiao's behavior."

"This is the only way for now."

Soon after learning that her daughter had gotten into a fight with Zhuang Yueqi, Mei Xue, who was having afternoon tea with Zhuang Yueqi's mother, was stunned and the two rushed over.

Seeing the bloodstains on their daughter's face, and her disheveled hair and clothes, both mothers were furious.

"Yuan Xiuxiu, is this the good daughter you raised?"

"Meixue, your daughter is just as good!"

Besides her current husband, Mei Xue's most cherished possession in this life was her daughter, whom she had given birth to later. She had never seen her daughter bullied like this before, and she trembled with anger: "Yuan Xiuxiu, what are you and your daughter? How dare your daughter hit my daughter?"

Yuan Xiuxiu was not afraid: "If it weren't for what your daughter did, my daughter would never have done this."

“My daughter has always been well-behaved, unlike your daughter who is like a madwoman. I will never let you get away with this.”

"Mei Xue, do you think I'm afraid of you? I, Yuan Xiuxiu, may not be as good as I used to be, but how much better are you? You want to take revenge on me? Don't you even know if you have the ability? Bah!"

Yuan Xiuxiu was even angrier. Her daughter's pretty face was now her source of pride and a way to make up for it. The bloodstains were so deep; what if they left scars? Mei Jiao looked disheveled, but she was not as badly injured as her daughter.

He then looked at Mei Jiao with a gloomy expression: "At such a young age, to be so ruthless, what a fine upbringing!"

Mei Xue sneered: "How dare you say that? Your daughter is so young and she's already trying to seduce my son. You're shameless."

"My daughter got close to your son, wasn't that arranged by you? Who's really losing face here? A mother wants to get close to her own son, but she has to find another girl to date him first. Mei Xue, just admit you're coveting your own son's property."

Mei Xue's secret was exposed, and she was furious and embarrassed: "Yuan Xiuxiu, aren't you and your daughter the same?"

Yuan Xiucai didn't care about the attack: "Ji Ye is an outstanding child, isn't it normal for my daughter to admire him? What mother would scheme like you?"

The conflict between Mei Jiao and Zhuang Yueqi was never resolved. As soon as Yuan Xiuxiu said this, Mei Xue also rushed forward in anger. The teachers' hearts skipped a beat like startled grasshoppers, and then they hurriedly pulled them apart.
