Over the past six months, seeing Shi Zhen so busy every day, Guan Baiyu felt quite uneasy.

He didn't want to be a burden to Shi Zhen.

But there's actually very little he can help Shi Zhen with.

At most, he was just an assistant to Shi Zhen. If Shi Zhen had hired someone else, he could have done those things better, and it wouldn't have cost Shi Zhen as much money as he had spent on him.

If only he could earn his own money!

Guan Baiyu stopped at the school gate after seeing Shi Zhen off, but he didn't rush back. He stood there and watched Shi Zhen walk away.

Guan Baiyu didn't turn around until Shi Zhen was out of sight, and then walked towards the teaching building.

As he was walking, Guan Baiyu saw the gold necklace rush out of the teaching building in front of him.

Of course, although he called her a gold necklace, she wasn't wearing one today; her hair was still permed and sticking up high.

However, since the gold necklace wasn't dyed and he was wearing very ordinary clothes today, others might not be able to tell that he had permed his hair. They might even think that he didn't dry his hair before going to bed and that his hair was sticking up.

But he was very angry at the moment, and anyone could tell.

Guan Baiyu paused, then immediately lowered his head and quickened his pace to rush forward.

The gold necklace was running too fast, and as he passed by, it collided with the other person.

Guan Baiyu was prepared and steadied himself, but Jin Liandao, who was fast, was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

But he quickly got up, glaring at Guan Baiyu: "What's wrong with you?!"

Guan Baiyu apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it was all my fault."

Liang Qinxuan was filled with rage; when he was knocked down, he wanted to beat up the person who bumped into him.

But now that this person has apologized, he has calmed down.

He was running a bit too fast and wasn't watching where he was going, so it wasn't entirely the other person's fault that they bumped into each other.

Moreover… Liang Qinxuan glanced at Guan Baiyu. This person looked quite young, probably a freshman in high school. He didn’t want to argue with him.

"Never mind, just be careful next time." Having tripped and fallen and been distracted, Liang Qinxuan temporarily stopped dwelling on what had angered him earlier, and his expression softened considerably.

Guan Baiyu then asked, "Are you alright? Should we go to the infirmary?"

“No need…” Liang Qinxuan refused, but before he could finish speaking, another voice rang out: “Liang Qinxuan, why are you running so fast?”

Liang Qinxuan's body stiffened abruptly, and he turned to look at the person who had come.

Guan Baiyu also looked over.

Walking towards them was a handsome high school boy with his hands in his pockets and a malicious glint in his eyes: "You don't want to call me brother? But Liang Qinxuan, we'll soon be brothers."

Liang Qinxuan seemed to be bursting with fire. He glared at the person in front of him, his teeth grinding together, and he was about to rush up and hit him.

Guan Baiyu didn't really like this gold necklace before. There was no other reason, mainly because some parts of the gold necklace looked a lot like Yan Jiangtao's.

But now, he has a very good impression of the gold chain.

Just now, Jin Liandao was clearly very angry and in a bad mood, but when he knocked Jin Liandao down, Jin Liandao didn't curse or hit him.

If it were Yan Jiangtao, he probably would have been kicked by now!

It's clear that the person with the gold necklace isn't a bad person.

The newcomer in front of me, however, had eyes full of malice and was clearly trying to provoke the gold necklace.

"I'm not your brother!" Liang Qinxuan retorted angrily.

"Your dad's about to marry my mom, isn't he? Your dad even made you call me brother." The man's gaze was icy.

Although the two only exchanged a few words, Guan Baiyu still managed to glean something from their conversation.

And considering the reactions of these two people...

If neither the gold necklace's father nor the man's mother had partners, they wouldn't be so angry.

Then look at the watch on the wrist of the person with the gold necklace. It's one of the cheaper watches he saw when he went to buy a watch before. But the gold necklace... Although the person with the gold necklace is dressed plainly now, judging from his behavior during the summer vacation, his family must be very rich.

The mother of the man with the gold necklace took a liking to his wealthy father and even started an affair with him.

Guan Baiyu stood next to Liang Qinxuan, looking at the person opposite him with some surprise: "Your mother is going to marry his father? Is she a mistress who took his place? And you're forcing her to call you brother?"

Guan Baiyu has been raised by Shi Zhen for half a year and has grown up a lot, with fair skin and delicate features.

He seemed like a very well-behaved and innocent child.

Now he looked at that person with disbelief, and the person's face immediately darkened.

Liang Qinxuan, who had originally intended to hit someone, suddenly felt relieved and burst into laughter.

"His dad is the mistress, breaking up someone else's family!" The handsome boy's eyes were filled with anger and hatred when he saw Liang Qinxuan smile.

Guan Baiyu now understood the specifics: it was probably a married couple having an affair, and their sons were classmates who had gotten into a fight at school.

In this kind of situation, it takes two to tango; both the man and woman are at fault, and their children are actually the victims.

Since we're all the same kind of people, why argue?

"You hate his dad so much, why do you still make him call you brother?" Guan Baiyu looked completely innocent and confused. "You're so old, you can choose whether to live with your father or your mother, right? If you hate his dad who broke up your family so much, then don't go with your mother to his house! And don't force him to call you brother! Otherwise, people will think you're hoping your mother will remarry."

The man's expression changed.

Liang Qinxuan laughed even harder: "That's right, Chen Shaojin, you hate my dad so much, why are you still with your mom after your parents divorced? And why are you coming to my house with your mom? Aren't you disgusting! Are you after my dad's money? Are you eager to be his adopted son? Let me tell you, you're dreaming! Even if your mom gives birth to that child in her belly, I won't let her take what's mine!"

A month ago, Liang Qinxuan was just an ordinary high school student whose biggest worry was failing his exams, but in the past month, his life has undergone earth-shattering changes.

He and Chen Shaojin used to be friends.

He even brought Chen Shaojin to his home.

Later, when he learned that his father knew Chen Shaojin's mother, he felt it was fate, and that he and Chen Shaojin might be friends for life.

Unexpectedly, his father had an affair with Chen Shaojin's mother!

His mother already knew, and she had originally tried to keep it from him, but when Chen Shaojin's mother came to visit with her pregnant belly half a month ago, she could no longer hide it.

It was only then that he learned that Chen Shaojin's mother was pregnant, the child was his father's, and she had already divorced her husband.

His father was determined to divorce his mother and marry Chen Shaojin's mother.

He was furious and ran out, but Chen Shaojin followed him, found him, and said it was all his father's fault, and even hit him...

The two of them got into a fight, and after the fight...

Chen Shaojin was the one who started the fight, but after he said those words, everyone thought it was his fault, and that his father had hit him!

After two weeks of turmoil at home, his parents finally got divorced.

His father insisted on having custody of him, saying that the family factory would be his in the future. He was unwilling to let Chen Shaojin's mother take everything from the family, so he chose to stay with his father.

As soon as his mother left, Chen Shaojin's mother moved in with Chen Shaojin.

He's been arguing with people at home every day for the past few days, and this morning before he left home, they even had a fight.

So when he arrived at school, he was in a bad mood. He didn't expect that as soon as he entered the classroom, he would be looked at with strange eyes by many people.

Chen Shaojin told his classmates that his father had broken up his parents' marriage by being a mistress.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Chen Shaojin mocked him and even told him to call him "brother".

He cursed Chen Shaojin, but his classmates sided with Chen Shaojin. He was furious, so he ran out of the classroom and bumped into Guan Baiyu.

With just a few simple words, Guan Baiyu immediately stripped Chen Shaojin of his dignity, which pleased Liang Qinxuan greatly.

Seeing Chen Shaojin's face turn pale and then red, Liang Qinxuan was overjoyed and reached out to put his arm around Guan Baiyu's neck: "Thanks, buddy."

Guan Baiyu quickly dodged when he reached out his hand.

He didn't know why he was avoiding her, but he didn't want to be so close to Liang Qinxuan.

His brother never even put his arm around him.

"Excuse me... Are you alright? Do you need me to help you?" Guan Baiyu asked.

Liang Qinxuan said, "No need."

He initially felt rejected when Guan Baiyu dodged, but after Guan Baiyu apologized, he changed his mind and lowered his hand, saying, "Thank you! Let me treat you to dinner!"

The last time they met, this man treated Shi Ting to dinner, and now he wants to treat me to dinner again.

Guan Baiyu said, "No need, no need, I have meal tickets... But you're a second-year high school student, right? Do you know which cafeteria has good food? I just arrived and don't know anything."

"The food at Cafeteria No. 2 is delicious. Let's go to Cafeteria No. 2!" Liang Qinxuan said.

"Okay." Guan Baiyu agreed, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Great, he struck up a conversation with this gold necklace so quickly!

He had bumped into the person with the gold necklace earlier to see what kind of person they were. If they were a good person, he would take this opportunity to get to know them better. Now, this has saved him a lot of trouble.

That's how Guan Baiyu and Liang Qinxuan met. Meanwhile, Shi Zhen was still figuring out how to get to know Liang Qinxuan.

It's highly unlikely that you'll get to know them.

He's a student at No. 1 High School, the son of a big boss, and what about him? He's an uneducated guy who sells popsicles at a street stall.

The two are so different!

Moreover, even if he knew Liang Qinxuan, he couldn't help Liang Qinxuan. He had no chance to interfere in other people's family affairs, and he didn't even know what had happened in his past life!

Shi Zhen had no choice but to let the matter drop.

He returned to Anshan Town and continued to busy himself with the collection and distribution of wool sweaters. In the evenings, he would also set up a stall in town to sell popsicles and cold drinks.

Now, other cold drink stalls have appeared in the town, but he can still make a lot of money. In addition, he also sells wool sweaters in the village... Right now, Shi Zhen has not only made back the money for the freezer, but also has a surplus.

But after the summer vacation, the weather will gradually get colder, and it's definitely not feasible to keep selling cold drinks.

He needs other ways to make money.

Without Guan Baiyu's help, he wanted to hire someone else.
