Su Yue smiled at Bai Jing and said, “They sell so many snacks outside, and I ate too much.”

“Okay.” Su Yue’s heart palpitated as she looked at Xuxu. Xuxu was looking at Bai Jing, and she didn’t seem to see through her lie.

Su Yue heaved a sigh of relief and changed the topic almost immediately. “Third sister-in-law, persuade Bai Jing not to return to her stepfather’s house.”

She pulled Xuxu over to Bai Jing’s bed and made her sit down.

Bai Jing’s expression changed when she heard her words. She looked at Xuxu and maintained the smile on her face.

Xuxu gently patted the back of Su Yue’s hand, seemingly hinting at something.

Su Yue wasn’t dumb, so she shut her mouth immediately. She sat obediently and quietly beside Xuxu.

Xuxu looked at Bai Jing and said, “Bai Jing, didn’t I tell you that you can come to me, Su Yue or her third brother if you are in any trouble?”

“It’s actually nothing much. Su Yue was making a mountain out of a molehill.” Bai Jing bowed her head and adjusted her hair, obviously uneasy and trying to hide something.

She just didn’t want him to know. She knew that he liked smart and independent women.

Although she couldn’t be with him, she wanted to change his opinion about her.

Xuxu could tell that Bai Jing didn’t want them to know about her life situation. She pursed her lips and didn’t force her.

“Alright, but you must tell me if anything happens next time. Not just because of your friendship with Su Yue, but also on account that your father saved Su Yue’s third brother’s life. We won’t leave you in the lurch.”

It was just like what Yan Rusheng had said. It wasn’t the first time that they told her that she should confide in them if ever she was in trouble.

She was a grown girl and she knew how to make her own decisions.

It was part of growing up. She had to go through this journey and make her own choices.

She had left with her biological mother so they couldn’t intervene if she didn’t ask for help.

Bai Jing smiled and nodded at Xuxu. “Thank you, third sister-in-law.”

Her gaze didn’t linger on Xuxu’s face. Neither did her eyes meet hers.

Nobody, even Ming Ansheng, Yan Rusheng or his gang, was better at reading people than Xuxu.

Xuxu sensed that Bai Jing was trying to evade the topic. Her smile didn’t falter as she said, “Don’t forget to come over when you’re free.”

She believed that Bai Jing was still a good girl. They were just worried because she was in a new environment.

She could only sigh helplessly.

Bai Jing nodded slowly. She said nothing further, and she didn’t lift her head once.

To Xuxu, it was a sign of Bai Jing distancing herself, but to Su Yue, Bai Jing was feeling inferior.

Su Yue frowned. “Bai Jing, my third sister-in-law will help you. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Bai Jing looked up at Su Yue and forced a smile.

Su Yue flashed a sincere smile, while Xuxu sighed to herself.

She sighed over how Su Yue was naïve.

Xuxu sat around for a while, then she looked at the time. It was almost noon, so she said to Bai Jing, “Bai Jing, I’ll make a move. Remember to come over when you’re free.”

Bai Jing nodded.

Xuxu then said to Su Yue, “Yueyue, I’ll head back first. Will you be going back to school later?”

“Yes.” Su Yue nodded. Indeed, she would head back to school—after she visited Uncle Ming.
