Chapter 403: 156 brought back to the Bai Family to ride on their poprity_2


    The two chatted for a brief moment before Bai Shaoqi hung up the phone, hastily clicking into the video notification as it came through.


    Upon seeing Jian Zhongyou’s message, she was more shocked than anyone else.


    Her upbringing was unlike any other; from a young age, her mother taught her and Bai Shaoke to endure what others could not, saying that only when they became strong would others take notice and bend the rules for them.


    It was clear Bai Shaoke had seeded—the Bai Family had even personally requested for her brother to return.


    Bai Shaoqi knew she was slightly behind her brother.


    Until now—


    She took a deep breath, attempting to stay calm, but an undeniable joy shimmered in her eyes; she had no idea what Jian Zhongyou intended, but she understood the power of online supporters, and public opinion was on her side.


    She had originally started the video ount to build her poprity and to keep up with Jian Zhongyou, aware that he had always been promoting ssical music.


    Her videos also swayed towards Jian Zhongyou, so from the beginning, fans had been tagging Jian Zhongyou under each of her videos.


    Immediately after, Bai Qiming’s call came through.<div>


    Clearly, the Bai Family was paying close attention to this as well.


    Bai Qiming’s voice was gentler than ever today, “Shaoqi, if you need anything, just tell the family. Do you have enough money?”


    On the other end of the phone.


    A great-uncle from the Bai Family n watched Bai Qiming, couldn’t resist snatching the phone away, “Shaoqi, your great-uncle will send you some money right away, and what about your gift to present to your master? We will prepare it for you immediately.”


    After the call.


    The n’s great-uncle brought his hands together in prayer, and kindly said, “Not bad, not bad at all. Qiming, it’s really Guo Yueqing who knows how to raise children. Look at these two kids, both remarkable. You and Yueqing should find a chance to bring her back home.”


    It’s never good to have a child out of wedlock spoken about openly, and so initially, the Bai Family only brought Bai Shaoke and Bai Shaoqi home.


    As for the mother of the two, it was as if they knew nothing about her. Guo Yueqing was very tactful, stating from the start that she could stay out of the Bai Family’s door, even willing to let the children be registered under Ji Mn’s name.


    Ji Mn refused to put up with this disrespect and simply divorced.


    The Bai Family did not bother with Guo Yueqing, but now… both children were more outstanding than the other.


    Bai Shaoke was epted by Jiangjing University, and now Bai Shaoqi was about to be a disciple of Director Jian, withizens starting to hype them up, analyzing Director Jian’s stature—


    He was a figure on par with the chancellor of Jiangjing University.


    Thinking of this, a deeper smile appeared on Bai Qiming’s face.


    The Bai butler also offered his congrattions, adding tea for the two, whereas for another member of the Bai Family still in Xiangcheng, “Bai Lian,” the entire Bai Family had already forgotten about her.

    The following day, the eighth day of the new year.


    Xiangcheng No. 1 High School’s senior year began early.


    Today was Saturday, and Bai Lian had gone to the prison early to visit Zhang Shize, thoughtfully bringing his notebook for him before heading to school.


    As soon as the new year began, about half of the ssmates who turned up were huddled around Weng Qi.<div>


    Seeing Bai Lian enter the ssroom,


    they shouted without any fear for their lives.


    “Sister Lian,” Weng Qi had a white towel draped over his right shoulder and a rag in his hand, diligently wiping Bai Lian’s desk and chair clean as she stepped through the ssroom door, “Please, have a seat.”


    He bowed and made a gesture of invitation with great respect.<div>


    Bai Lian nced at him and then tossed her backpack onto the desk.


    Weng Qi threw the rag onto an unupied desk in the back and reached out to massage Bai Lian’s shoulders, but upon looking down at Bai Lian’s pristine white shoulder and then at his own hands,


    “You should go copy homework,” Bai Lian said, motioning Pu Xiaohan to hand the holiday homework to Weng Qi.


    Weng Qi was constantly tagging the entire ss over the holiday.


    Bai Lian had monopolized the source of homework he could copy.


    As school resumed, Weng Qi came to “acknowledge his fault.”


    “Thank you, sisters,” Weng Qi tearfully received the homework notebook from Pu Xiaohan, havinge early today specifically to copy homework.


    “Have we be inte famoustely?” Those who hadn’t finished their homework copied from others, while those who hadpleted theirs discussed together.


    “Yeah, did you also see that local feature? That guzheng piece was pretty good…”


    “…”


    Pu Xiaohan shared a music clip from her video with Bai Lian, “It’s this ‘Gambling with Liquor,’ I learned the climax part from Grandpa Jian, and he helped me record it.”


    She only posted a video once every half month, and they were of very high quality.


    She hadn’t taken on any ads or promoted any products, and during the New Year period, she asionally live streamed the bustling scenes of the city’s east side without showing her face.<div>
