When Xuxu turned around, her eyes brightened.
Bai Jing was wearing a white dress that reached her ankles. Its chiffon material flew in the breeze.
It had only been a month, but her hair had grown tremendously. She had let down her hair, and she was clad in her white dress that she looked like a fairy.
There was a tall and thin man beside her. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black sports shoes. He looked around thirty and had a rectangular face.
When the man caught sight of Yan Rusheng, a smile flitted onto his face.
Xuxu frowned, nudging the man beside her. “You know the man beside Bai Jing?”
“He’s the boss of a small supplier,” Yan Rusheng replied, his voice full of disdain. “He’s the second son of Bai Jing’s stepfather.”
Xuxu was in shock. “You know him?”
Yan Rusheng replied, “Just a few days ago.”
During their exchange, Bai Jing and the man had walked over. Su Yue happily bounded up to her. “Bai Jing, I was just about to call you.”
“Something cropped up at home,” Bai Jing explained to Su Yue, then her gaze flitted over to Xuxu and Yan Rusheng. “Third Brother, Third sister-in-law.”
Although her voice was soft, it didn’t give off the feeling of inferiority, unlike before.
Xuxu smiled at her, then praised sincerely. “Bai Jing, you’re getting prettier.”
Bai Jing felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
The man beside her spoke up just then. “Third Master, Third Madam Yan,” he greeted with a smile.
“Bai Jing, who’s this?” Su Yue asked, sizing him up.
Her tone sounded a little arrogant.
“This is my… Second Brother Lei Yong,” Bai Jing introduced. She sounded unnatural when she called him her ‘second brother’.
Actually, she sounded unwilling.
Of course, Su Yue couldn’t tell, but she didn’t greet him, anyway. Her gaze merely swept over him.
Lei Yong wanted to smile at her, but her gaze had already shifted past him. She didn’t even bother looking at him directly.
He felt a little awkward. Then he smiled at Xuxu and Yan Rusheng and said, “I didn’t expect Third Master and Third Madam Yan to send your sister to school personally.”
Yan Rusheng remained expressionless, so Xuxu replied, “We brought her here to familiarize herself.”
Then she looked at Bai Jing and realized she came empty-handed. She asked in confusion, “Bai Jing, didn’t you bring your luggage over today?”
“I’m… I’m not going to stay here,” Bai Jing replied, shaking her head. She then lowered her head and bit her lip, grabbing onto her dress tightly.
Her veins were almost protruding.
Xuxu observed all this and replied with a meaningful ‘oh’.
“Bai Jing, let’s go over to take a look,” Su Yue suggested, hugging Bai Jing’s elbow and dragging her forward.
Bai Jing didn’t have a chance to refuse.
“This lass, now she finds an interest in new things,” Xuxu mented as she watched her back view, her eyes full of affection.
Then, Lei Yong’s voice sounded from behind them. “Third Master’s sister seems to get along very well with our Bai Jing.”
A cold smile flashed across Xuxu’s face. She turned to face Lei Yong and feigned ignorance as she questioned, “Oh, didn’t Bai Jing agree to live on campus with Su Yue? Why the sudden change in the decision?”
Lei Yong was shocked. He smiled and explained, “You see, my mother feels worried about letting her live in school. And coincidentally, we own a house nearby, so there’s no need for her to.”
Then he looked downwards. It was clear from his calculative eyes that he was planning something.
