"Ah, I'm so jealous! I'm all alone under this tall lemon tree! Sisters, if you ever get rich, don't forget me! Quickly help me find out if there are any eligible bachelors looking for a fiancée? The kind who's 18, just finished their college entrance exams, can eat and sleep well, and is perfect for being a devoted admirer!"
Bai Shu was amused by her classmate and kept laughing. Hearing this, she quickly agreed and promised to introduce her to a potential partner. Then she pulled her aside to choose a cake to eat slowly.
As they chatted, the conversation returned to Xiao Lingchen. Remembering what Qiao Le had said before leaving, the classmate frowned.
"If you are Young Master Xiao's fiancée, the Mu family really needs to be careful. The young master of the Mu family, Mu Sheng... is not to be underestimated. But it doesn't matter, after all, with Young Master Xiao around, Mu Sheng was no match for Young Master Xiao ten years ago when they fought like that, let alone now."
Bai Shu asked, "Who is Mu Sheng?"
The classmate was taken aback: "You don't know Mu Sheng? Didn't Young Master Xiao tell you about these interpersonal relationships in Beijing?"
Young Master Xiao's fiancée is the future matriarch of the Xiao family. Unlike what ordinary people imagine, the matriarchs of wealthy families do not spend their lives eating, drinking, and having fun. They also have to shoulder the responsibility of connecting the matriarchs of the family and engage in so-called "madam social interactions".
But why didn't Young Master Xiao tell Bai Shu about the identities of these people?
“He didn’t say that, but he mentioned it once before. My main task right now is to study, so I don’t need to think about these things…” Bai Shu frowned in thought. “This name sounds familiar. You just mentioned the Mu family. Is he the young master of the Mu family?”
Just as he finished speaking, a soft cough came from behind him. Bai Shu turned around and saw Xiao Shisan grinning as he approached.
"Yes, it's that madman from the Mu family. Miss Bai Shu, you don't need to be surprised why the eldest young master didn't introduce him to you; he did it on purpose."
My deskmate's expression turned strange in an instant, his heart filled with indignation:
Intentionally not introducing her? What does that mean? Does it mean they don't consider Bai Shu as the future matriarch of the Xiao family at all? Or is it that Young Master Xiao only sees Bai Shu as a kept woman and has no intention of bringing her into the public eye?
Perhaps noticing her pale face, Xiao Shisan realized that his words were indeed too easy to misunderstand, and quickly explained to Bai Shu:
"Miss Bai Shu, please don't misunderstand! The young master just felt that you were facing exams before, and he didn't want these trivial matters to distract you. Now that things are easier for you, he's preparing to formally introduce you to the people of the capital at this birthday banquet!"
Bai Shu's deskmate breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his arm, and whispered, "That's great! It's not that he doesn't value you, it's that he values you too much."
Bai Shu felt a warm feeling in her heart, like a warm current flowing through her heart. She had never doubted Xiao Lingchen, and fortunately, he was someone she didn't need to doubt.
Xiao Shisan wiped his sweat with a wry smile. He had almost ruined the young master's life. If the young master found out, he would lose his head!
“Miss Bai Shu, I have followed Young Master for almost twenty years and know him very well. To be honest, you are the person he values most in his life! He is truly devoted to you. Don’t be fooled by his current deep and cold demeanor; when he was young, he was incredibly arrogant and reckless!”
Xiao Shisan sighed, "I remember one time in particular, ten years ago, when the patriarch was seriously injured in an unexpected assassination attempt by an enemy force. The Xiao family was weak, and the Mu family seized the opportunity to take over several businesses!"
Bai Shu said, "It's Mu Sheng's family, the Xiao family's mortal enemy?"
