All, right! s.h.i.+ Mu quickly looked away from s.h.i.+ He and stammered as he nodded.

Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Xue hesitantly. s.h.i.+ Mu immediately understood and quickly explained for himself, Im going to the company for an interns.h.i.+p after the New Year. I can graduate from school soon. My results are outstanding. It wont be a problem for me to find a job.

s.h.i.+ He chuckled at the side at an inappropriate time. He only knew to restrain himself after being glared at by s.h.i.+ Mu.

Bai Xue kept her head lowered, so no one could tell what she was thinking.

Mrs. Bai smiled politely and replied, Xiao Mu is indeed very outstanding. Actually, Xiao Xue used to have good grades. Its all because of me that she cant continue school.

Mom. Bai Xue suddenly pushed her mothers arm and looked over with tears in her eyes, as if she was silently begging her not to continue.

However, Mrs. Bai turned a deaf ear. She placed her hands between her knees and rubbed her hands uneasily. If she can continue school, I believe her future will definitely be worlds apart from now.

Mom! Bai Xues eyes were red as she stood up excitedly to interrupt her mothers next words. Her face was filled with pain. Mom, stop talking. Ive already promised Miss s.h.i.+ to work in her company. I already have a good future.

But you dont have an education! Others will look down on you! Mrs. Bai looked at her daughter with heartache and sighed. I know its not appropriate for me to say this now, but I just want to fight for Xiao Xue. Shes very hardworking in her studies and will definitely learn very well.

Mom, Im begging you. Stop talking! Bai Xue bit her lower lip stubbornly, tears welling up in her eyes.

s.h.i.+ Mu reached out to tug at her sleeve tentatively. Seeing that she did not refuse, he gradually became bolder. He pulled her to sit beside him and advised softly, Xiao Xue, 1 think what Auntie said makes sense. If youre willing, 1 can help you enter Ca.s.sel Academy.

Bai Xue suddenly raised her head and stared at him in disbelief. Her tears finally fell uncontrollably.

She bit her lower lip and stubbornly dried her tears. Her voice trembled imperceptibly. Thank you for your kindness, but I dont need it. Im sorry. I want to go out and be alone. Im so sorry. Excuse me.

Xiao Xue! Mrs. Bai called her name worriedly from behind, but Bai Xue did not hesitate to leave.

What she did not know was that every tear she shed just now was like a heavy hammer that smashed into s.h.i.+ Mus heart, making his heart ache.

His expression darkened. He pulled Mother Bai, who was about to chase after her, and comforted her softly. Just sit here. Ill go take a look. Dont worry, with me around, nothing will happen to her.

Mrs. Bais expectant gaze followed s.h.i.+ Mus back until he walked out of the villa and could not be seen anymore.

Shen Xian sighed and comforted Mrs. Bai while promising that her family would help her fulfill her wish. However, she kept thinking about the two children outside.

Su Tang was sweeping the snow in the courtyard. When she saw Bai Xue running out crying, she hurriedly handed the tools in her hand to the butler and jogged to stop her. Xiao Xue, whats wrong? Did Fourth Brother bully you?

Bai Xue shook her head hard and pulled her arm as she begged in a low voice, Is there any quiet place here? I dont want to be found by s.h.i.+ Mu. I want to stay with you for a while.

Alright, follow me. Su Tang took Bai Xues hand and brought her to a small wooden house at the back of the manor. She poured her a cup of hot tea and said, Dont worry, Fourth Brother wont be able to find this place. He never comes here.

Thats good. Bai Xue hugged the teacup with both hands to warm her hands as she stared blankly at the empty s.p.a.ce in front of her.

Su Tang also poured herself a cup of tea before sitting down beside her. She asked hesitantly, What happened to you just now? Why are you crying like this?

Bai Xue let out a long sigh. Her lower lip was bitten until she felt a sharp pain. She came back to her senses and said with a downcast expression, My mother just suggested to Aunt Shen that I continue school.

Thats good! Su Tang blinked and looked at her in confusion. Dont you want to continue studying?

I want to. Bai Xue looked down at the scar on the outside of her arm dejectedly. But a person like me is not worthy of walking into the cla.s.sroom, let alone letting the s.h.i.+ family pull strings for me. Even if 1 enter Ca.s.sel Academy, Ill only dirty that place.

What makes you think that? Is it because of what happened at school in the past?

Su Tang patted her shoulder comfortingly. Just like every time s.h.i.+ Man comforted her in the past, she patiently advised, You can tell me what youre thinking. Perhaps youll be relieved after saying it?

Will I? Bai Xue looked up in surprise, but in an instant, the light in her eyes dimmed. But can someone like me really be forgiven?

Su Tang frowned in disapproval.. Why do you need others to forgive you? You didnt do anything wrong at all!
