Chapter 65.
Qian Yirong's departure did not attract any attention, but before leaving, she asked Qu Xueer to take care of Xu Baiqing. After all, the Mu Mansion was Mu Zexuan's territory, and the Qian family had such an idea.
After leaving the Mu Mansion with a heavy heart, Qian Yirong's ambition for career grew stronger than ever. She didn't have the qualifications to be Xu Baiqing's backer now, so after returning home and changing out of her dress, Qian Yirong quickly got into work mode.
However, she was still concerned about Xu Baiqing's situation, and she would ask Qu Xueer about Xu Baiqing's situation almost every ten minutes without getting tired of it. Later, Qian Yirong didn't need to ask any more questions, as Qu Xueer would report to Qian Yirong on time and at a fixed time.
Fortunately, nothing happened at the subsequent banquet. After all, although the Qian family became familiar to the Mu family, they still couldn't get a seat at the top table due to their current size.
Even if Mu Zexuan was superior to Xu Baiqing, it was impossible for him to bypass his parents and arrange for the Qian family to live with him. Moreover, since this was Grandpa Mu's birthday party, he, as the grandson, naturally had to accompany them at the banquet.
However, his mother noticed that he looked in Xu Baiqing's direction from time to time, and she became even more dissatisfied with Xu Baiqing, but she did not show it in front of her son.
She didn't want her son to become more concerned about her because of her opposition, and to become estranged from her and her son. However, she didn't intend to just leave it alone. Naturally, she would find a way to make Xu Baiqing leave her son on his own initiative.
After a turbulent birthday banquet, Qian Chaowen got the result he wanted, not to mention that after the banquet, Mu Zexuan came to see them off. The envious eyes of some people made him even more complacent.
Xu Baiqing exchanged glances with Qu Xueer. She was not very enthusiastic in the face of the attentive Mu Zexuan, but this did not make other people in the Qian family dissatisfied. After all, Mu Zexuan's attentiveness to Xu Baiqing made them decide not to interfere with Xu Baiqing and Mu Zexuan's relationship.
Maybe Mu Zexuan just likes Xu Baiqing treating him like that. As long as Xu Baiqing can keep Mu Zexuan in his hands, she can do anything. On the other side, Qian Yirong also received Qu Xueer's last report. After knowing that Xu Baiqing went home after the birthday party, she completely put her mind at ease and devoted herself to the work at hand.
Not long after Mr. Mu’s birthday party ended, school was about to start, and Qian Yirong still needed to go to school. Although she had confirmed that she would not stay in school for too long, she still had to complete the necessary procedures.
So Qian Yirong got up on time on the first day of school. When she arrived at school, she saw Xu Baiqing waiting at the school gate. The sunlight shone from behind her, making her already fair skin seem transparent. The air was surrounded by dust like gold powder illuminated by the sunlight. She did not have her usual smile on her face. The expressionless Xu Baiqing was cold and distant, giving the impression of someone who kept people at a distance.
Qian Yirong paused for a moment, but Xu Baiqing seemed to have a sensor and caught her figure in an instant. He raised his eyes and looked over. Real joy welled up in his indifferent eyes. The corners of his mouth raised, and a happy expression appeared on his face.
"Sister." Xu Baiqing said loudly.
In front of outsiders, Xu Baiqing always called her sister, but ever since Qian Yirong realized his feelings for her, this name seemed to have taken on a different meaning.
"Have you been waiting here for a long time?" Qian Yirong asked.
"It won't be long. I know my sister will come today to handle some procedures, and I won't have many chances to see her at school afterwards, so I'm waiting for her here. Isn't that good?" Xu Baiqing blinked, and the expression on his face deliberately became a little aggrieved as he looked at Qian Yirong.
"How could that be? I'm so happy that you came to wait for me." Even though Qian Yirong knew that she was pretending to be wronged, she didn't want to see such an expression on her face, so she quickly said.
"Xue'er hasn't come yet. Sister should wait for her, right?" Xu Baiqing had already found out clearly long ago, but still asked even though she knew the answer.
"Well, to complete the formalities, we need Xue'er's help." Qian Yirong nodded.
"Anyway, school starts today and there's nothing to do, so I might as well stay with my sister." Xu Baiqing revealed his true intentions.
"...If you want, you can." Qian Yirong paused and agreed. After all, Xu Baiqing was right. She would rarely go back to school except for exams, and she would not have that much time to spend with Xu Baiqing. She was a little reluctant to leave. If she could stay with Xu Baiqing for a while longer today, then she might as well stay a little longer.
The two people were waiting for Qu Xueer at the school gate. They were not standing in a very remote place, so the news that Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing were standing at the school gate spread quickly.
But the rumors were all sorts of mess. Some said Qian Yirong blocked Xu Baiqing at the school gate to teach him a lesson, and some said Xu Baiqing had successfully driven Qian Yirong out of the Qian family and was now taking revenge on her. In short, all kinds of true and false rumors emerged one after another.
After a while, the Mu family's car arrived. Mu Zexuan got out of the car in a panic and saw Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing at the school gate. They were obviously standing together, talking and laughing, but Mu Zexuan felt that Qian Yirong had bad intentions towards Xu Baiqing.
"Qian Yirong, what are you doing?" Mu Zexuan's voice interrupted their pleasant conversation, and Xu Baiqing couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You don't have eyes, can't you see it?" Qian Yirong said unhappily.
"Who knows what you're going to do?" Mu Zexuan retorted. He looked at Xu Baiqing with concern and asked, "Baiqing, are you okay?"
Xu Baiqing immediately knew that Mu Zexuan must have thought that Qian Yirong wanted to bully her again. She really didn't know why Mu Zexuan had such a big prejudice against Qian Yirong. She had said many times that Qian Yirong had a very good relationship with her, but Mu Zexuan just turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.
"Why is it so lively here?" Just when Mu Zexuan was about to quarrel with Qian Yirong again, Qu Qingyu's voice interrupted.
"Sister Rongrong, Sister Bai Qing, I'm here." Qu Xueer stepped forward, pushed Mu Zexuan aside, and greeted the two of them.
"Xue'er, you're here," Qian Yirong immediately ignored Mu Zexuan and said, "Bai Qing plans to come with us, let's go."
"Okay, let's go together." Qu Xueer said as she took one of them's arms, and the three of them walked towards the school together.
"Why are you following?" Qu Qingyu grabbed Mu Zexuan who wanted to follow and asked.
"I'm worried about Bai Qing and Qian Yirong being together." Mu Zexuan answered while still looking at Xu Baiqing.
"No one likes a man who is too clingy." Qu Qingyu was speechless. Although he knew that Mu Zexuan was infatuated with Xu Baiqing, he didn't expect that he would be so clingy like a dog-skin plaster.
"Is... is that so?" Mu Zexuan stopped and asked uneasily.
"Of course," Qu Qingyu affirmed firmly, "You haven't changed Xu Baiqing's opinion of you yet. Following her now will only make her hate you even more, right?"
Mu Zexuan fell silent. What Qu Qingyu said was right. Now he wanted Xu Baiqing to know even more that she had misunderstood him. Mu Zexuan, who had never pursued anyone before, could only hope that he could find Qian Yirong's flaw as soon as possible.
Mu Zexuan could only return to the classroom reluctantly. Anyway, he was in the same class with Xu Baiqing, so he would have to wait until Xu Baiqing returned to the class. Mu Zexuan waited anxiously for a long time, but before Xu Baiqing came, he received a piece of news that made him very happy.
"Mr. Mu," someone approached Mu Zexuan and asked cautiously, "I heard that Qian Yirong no longer comes to school except for exams. Is this..."
It was obvious that he wanted to ask whether this matter was related to Mu Zexuan. After all, Mu Zexuan's malice towards Qian Yirong was basically exposed, and everyone could see who he was doing it for.
"What?" Mu Zexuan was also surprised. He had known until now how much Xu Baiqing valued Qian Yirong. If he really kicked Qian Yirong out of school, not only would he not be able to find evidence that she bullied Xu Baiqing, but it would also easily push Xu Baiqing further away. So he had no intention of kicking Qian Yirong out of school at all.
"Didn't you do it?" the man was surprised.
Mu Zexuan then realized that it would be easy to suspect him if something like this happened to Qian Yirong. Although the news was good for him, Mu Zexuan didn't want to take the blame for nothing. He was about to find Xu Baiqing to explain when he saw Xu Baiqing, who looked unhappy, enter the classroom.
"Bai Qing, Qian Yirong's affairs have nothing to do with me." Mu Zexuan said in panic. He didn't want to be misunderstood by Xu Baiqing and make his already bad image in Xu Baiqing's heart fall further.
"I know," Xu Baiqing glanced at him and knew why he said that. Seeing the curious eyes of the rest of the class, she knew that this matter had spread widely. She didn't want others to think that Qian Yirong was expelled from school, so she explained, "Sister doesn't want to waste time in school. She made an agreement with the board of directors. As long as her test scores can be consistently in the top 10% of the grade, she can not come to school."
Everyone who heard this was even more shocked than when they heard that Qian Yirong was expelled from school by Mu Zexuan. Qian Yirong's grades had always been at the bottom, yet she dared to make such an agreement with the school board.
You have to know that if you fail to reach the agreement with the board of directors, you will definitely be expelled. In the eyes of everyone, Qian Yirong is definitely going to be expelled. But they still can't help but wonder if Mu Zexuan did something. After all, it is impossible for Qian Yirong to fulfill that kind of agreement.
Mu Zexuan was also shocked by what Qian Yirong did. In his opinion, Qian Yirong was vicious and stupid. She actually made such an agreement that was completely bad for her. Mu Zexuan couldn't help but feel excited. If Qian Yirong's grades could not reach the top 10% of the grade, he would have a legitimate reason to kick her out.
