Boss Chen was eager for it. He hasn’t tasted Bai  Zhi’s crafts for a long time. So how will he let it go of this opportunity?

“I’m in a hurry today. I didn’t know that it’s your birthday. I didn’t bring any gifts. I’ll make it up to you next time.” Boss Chen said with a smile.

“Then, I’ll keep it in mind. Don’t forget it.”

In the capital, Meng Family.

Xu Furen was staring at Jin Shiwei, who was in front of her. She stared at him with a cold face and said: “Speak, what is going on?”

Jin Shiwei replied calmly: “Madam, you misunderstood gongzi. In fact, they don’t have such kind of relationship. Miss Bai is a doctor, her medical skills are very good, she cured gongzi’s disease before. Later, gongzi and Miss Bai was chased by a fierce tiger. Gongzi saved Miss Bai and was bitten by the tiger. Miss Bai did her best to cure gongzi’s injury and made him recover like before. The two of them became familiar with each other. They became friends. They don’t have romantic feelings for each other. I, Jin Shiwei, swear to heaven that I didn’t say any false words.”

“Besides–”

“Besides, what?” Xu Furen’s expression eased a bit.

“Besides, Miss Bai has a lover long ago. Even if gongzi is interested in Miss Bai. They can’t have such relationship. So I ask madam to put down your worry in your heart.”

Have a lover? They can’t have such relationship?

Is this true? If this is the case, then it’s naturally the best. 

Xu Furen waved her hand: “Alright, you can leave.”

After Jin Shiwei left, Xu Furen asked Wu Mama: “Do you think he’s telling the truth?”

Wu Mama said with a smile: “Is it true? Why don’t we send someone to Qingyuan Town to find out?”

In the Bai Family.

Bai Xiaofeng sat next to Mrs. Liu, who was washing wild vegetables, he calmly asked, “Niang, the school will start in a few days. Is the silver ready? Is there money to buy ink and paper? The hair on my brush is almost gone, we should buy a new, right?”

Mrs. Liu’s sighed and said: “Don’t ask me, ask your grandmother about it. Your grandmother is the head of our family. So why would I have money on me?”

Bai Xiaofeng sullenly said, “I already asked Grandmother. Grandmother said that she has no money, she told me to ask you. What the hell is going on? Should I still go to school or not?”

Mrs. Liu put down the wild vegetables in her hand: “Of course you have to go. You will be a big official in the future and you will bring us joy.”

Bai Xiaofeng frowned and asked, “If you want me to be a big official, then take out the money and pay my tuition fee. What’s the use of just saying it?”

After hearing those words, Mrs. Liu wanted to bring out money to pay Bai Xiaofeng’s tuition fee right away, but where is the money?

Don’t mention the tuition fee, they can’t even eat a proper meal.

“Just wait, I’ll go and find your grandmother.” Mrs. Liu left behind the wild vegetables and hurriedly entered the house. The old lady’s door was not close. Old Lady Bai was lying on the bed trying to ease her mind. When someone came in, she looked up and then closed her eyes again.

“Niang, are you still sleeping?” Mrs. Liu went close to the bed and looked at the old lady with dissatisfaction.

Old Lady Bai opened her eyes and said: “Fart, don’t talk anymore.”

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes. She didn’t expect that the old lady will scold her. If she has the energy to scold someone, she should scold Mrs. Zhang!

Mrs. Liu didn’t leave, instead, she talked softly: “Niang, Xiaofeng’s schooling will start in a few days, we have to pay his intuition fee soon, otherwise, he won’t be able to go to school.”

Old Lady Bai replied: “You are his mother, you give him the money to pay for it, why are you tell me this?”
