After Wang Feifei's incident, the Wang family did try to cause trouble for Song Sisi, but Pei Xun stopped them.
But in the end, he also felt some distance from Song Sisi. He liked the pure and innocent Song Sisi, not the impure Song Sisi who had her own thoughts.
Pei Xun came out of the classroom, but his eyes fell on Bai Yan and Shen Mubai, and he frowned.
If Bai Yan were still the same country bumpkin she used to be, he wouldn't care who she was with.
But after her transformation, Bai Yan possessed an alluring charm... Moreover, the marriage between the Song and Pei families meant that the choice was actually his, and he could have chosen Bai Yan as well.
If she were as obedient as Song Sisi.
Thinking of this, Pei Xun walked over.
"Bai Yan." That's his name.
Bai Yan turned around: "You called me?" They two don't seem to have any connection, right?
Pei Xun nodded, then said, "You've been spending a lot of time with Shen Mubai lately? With your excellent grades, you could easily choose any top university in the country. Why would you want to hang out with someone like Shen Mubai who's destined to be left behind by society?"
Bai Yan's expression turned cold: "Why are you meddling in my affairs? Are you an Interpol agent?"
Pei Xun's face showed slight anger.
This guy is just being nosy. Bai Yan didn't want to talk to him and turned to leave.
"Shen Mubai's mother is my father's mistress, and Shen Mubai is an illegitimate child!" Pei Xun shouted.
Bai Yan turned around and heard Pei Xun continue, "He is destined to rot in the mud. Even if he has a rich uncle, he will still be ostracized by high society... Bai Yan, but you are different. Believe it or not, as long as I accept you."
"Your and Song Sisi's positions in the Song family can be reversed."
"I know you weren't having a very pleasant time at the Song family's house either."
"As long as I agree, you won't have to waste your study time on tutoring materials anymore... Your life will be bright all the way."
Bai Yan raised an eyebrow: "The condition is that I don't associate with Shen Mubai?"
Pei Xun looked at her: "So you're saying yes?"
Bai Yan: "Pei Xun, if you poured out all the water from your head and let it dry, it would weigh three pounds! You're eighteen this year, not eight. Are you playing kindergarten games here?"
"You think I'm some toy that you and Shen Mubai fought over?"
"I'm not a toy, and in my heart, you can't compare to Shen Mubai. He's my friend, so what are you?"
"An Interpol agent who lives by the sea? Minds everything. If you're so free, why don't you go do some practice questions?"
After saying that, Bai Yan turned and left.
Pei Xun's handsome face turned ashen. He condescended to reconcile with Bai Yan. She was quite something!
Okay, then he'll watch!
On the other side of the shade, Song Sisi saw all of this and left in silence.
Shen Mubai, on the other hand, was holding a bottle of water and hesitated.
He saw Pei Xun go to find Bai Yan, and he also heard what Pei Xun said.
He wasn't nervous at all. He didn't care whether Bai Yan would look down on him or cut off all contact with him after finding out he was an illegitimate child...
Anyway, they're just classmates, it's no big deal...
But when he heard Bai Yan say that he was not trash and that he was a friend, Shen Mubai realized that he had squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand so tightly that it was deformed.
Catching his breath, Shen Mubai tossed the bottled water aside.
That evening, as the two of them sat in the library continuing to study, Shen Mubai was no longer as resistant as before.
Instead, he would always look up and steal glances at Bai Yan.
After being caught by Bai Yan for the tenth time, Shen Mubai couldn't help but raise his hand and ask, "Bai Yan, are we friends?"
Bai Yan said, "If we weren't friends, would I give you a free workbook?"
She was speechless: "I'm selling this for 500 a serving now."
Not to mention the workbooks, the price of her tutoring is beyond the reach of most people.
Shen Mubai: ...
He glanced at Shen Mubai: "Did you hear what Pei Xun said to me today?"
Shen Mubai's eyes darted around, but he didn't want to lie to her, so he could only nod.
But he was also very nervous; he didn't want Bai Yan to ask him about his mother.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy has an exceptionally strong sense of self-esteem... He doesn't want his mother to be a third party, but what can he do? He was born from his mother's womb.
Others can criticize her, but he can't.
Bai Yan looked at his slightly pale face and knew what he was thinking: "Shen Mubai, I don't know what you were thinking before, but I think life is only once. I won't be discouraged just because someone hates me or is annoyed by me."
"On the contrary, I want to live well. The more they hate me, the better I want to live."
"When I stand high enough, those people who hate me will only be able to look up to me."
Shen Mubai was taken aback: "Are you... trying to comfort me?"
Bai Yan smiled slightly. She knew that the ruthless villain in this story was still just a boy who felt inferior because of his mother's identity.
"I'm going to study hard and get into university. Shen Mubai, do you want to go to the same university as me?"
Shen Mubai's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded heavily afterward, "I want to!"
Bai Yan smiled, and for a moment, Shen Mubai thought he had seen an angel.
However, the angel then revealed the devil's face: "Finish all of these workbooks."
"For every question you get wrong, you have to copy it fifty times."
Shen Mubai looked at the mountain of exercise books and his lips twitched.
...
Meanwhile, Song Sisi also returned to the Song family.
We can't let things continue like this!
Everything changed the moment Bai Yan appeared!
