Xiao Lingchen has a fiancée!
Xiao Lingchen, the eldest son of the Xiao family and the only heir of the family, has brought his fiancée back!
Young Master Xiao said that his fiancée is still too young, so he plans to only get engaged for now and get married as soon as she turns twenty!
The slightest movement within a wealthy family always spreads like wildfire, as if overnight, gossip has filled the entire social circle of Beijing.
Even inside the school walls, people would gather together and chatter as soon as get out of class ended.
"Bai Shu! Bai Shu, welcome back!"
"I cried so hard when you transferred schools, I never expected you to come back now, I'm so happy!"
"Honestly, with your excellent grades, you're already in high school. Transferring would have been a waste of your time! Now that you're back, it's all good. Don't overthink it. We'll help you catch up on your studies, and we'll get you back into the top six on the academic leaderboard!"
As soon as Bai Shu finished completing the transfer procedures and stepped out of the principal's office, a group of girls rushed over, grabbed her, and spun her around excitedly.
The girls' youthful faces were filled with excitement and joy. Some had tears in their eyes, and others wiped away their tears, insisting on helping her carry her things and crowding around her as she walked towards the classroom.
"Thank you all, Youlan, Qinqin, Baixi, Xuanxuan, and Hongdou. If it weren't for you, I really might not have had the courage to continue..."
Bai Zhu was so moved that she felt like laughing at the same time, and also like crying.
These were all her best friends. They had all agreed to take the entrance exam for Yenching University together, and she had worked hard for that goal for many years.
To her utter surprise, her parents suddenly had an accident, which led to her being taken away by her aunt and uncle—no, that heartless couple—and forced to transfer schools and leave.
"Haha, don't say such sentimental things. We've always been with you. Keep going!"
The girls laughed heartily, holding her hands and linking arms with hers, and said earnestly, "What are you afraid of? With us sisters here, nothing is a problem!"
"Yes, it's good that you're back. Your aunt and uncle also hope you're doing well. They'll be relieved when we both get into Peking University!"
"That's right!"
Bai Zhu nodded vigorously.
After Xiao Lingchen took her back to Beijing, he asked her about her plans for school. He suggested that she either hire a tutor at home or transfer to the best private school.
Bai Shu told him without hesitation that she wanted to go back to her old school. He smiled, patted her head, and agreed softly.
The next day, the completed transfer procedures, signed and stamped documents were placed on her desk.
Decisive and efficient, yet deeply doting.
That man—
Thinking of this, Bai Shu bit her lip, feeling a little warm on her cheeks.
She originally only regarded him as a benefactor. He had been kind and compassionate in helping her, and she felt that she could repay him even with the most humble acts of kindness. She had even planned to repay him in the future when she was able to. But then he said...
"Bai Shu, Bai Shu, stop daydreaming! You've been away from Beijing for so long, have you heard about the major events that have happened recently?"
A girl squeezed through the crowd and helped Bai Shu carry her schoolbag: "Do you remember the Xiao family? It's that top-tier rich and beautiful Miss Qiao Le. Wasn't she able to be so arrogant and domineering just because she was a cousin of the Xiao family? The Xiao family has recently been in big trouble!"
Bai Shu was taken aback: "What important matter?"
"Hey, you really didn't hear about it!"
The girl was overcome with grief and indignation when the topic came up, and she grabbed her hand, sobbing.
"My crush has a fiancée! He even said he'd marry her when she comes of age! Tell me, which girl saved the heavens and the sun in her past life to actually—win over my husband!"
Bai Zhu spat it out.
