The Young Matriarch

She knew that the boy only slept for five hours a day, and spent the rest of his time studying.

Duan Xingye’s handsome face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head with some embarrassment, “I’m not smart, so I have to work hard. Besides, I didn’t study seriously in the first or second year of high school.”

Duan Xingye paused, then said in a low voice, “I want to prove to my father that his son is not good for nothing. I want to study finance in university, and later go back to help my fourth uncle to take over the family business, so I need to work a little harder now.”

A warm hand gently landed on the top of his hair and caressed it lightly, Bai Chuwei’s normally lazy voice was surprisingly tender at this moment, “Heavenly Dao will look after those who work hard. Your fourth uncle will be very pleased too.”

That gentle encouragement was like that from a caring older sister.

Duan Xingye was stunned for a moment, his face turning bright red, and he quickly turned his head to cough.

The car stopped at the entrance of Skyline Garden villa complex. Bai Chuwei and Duan Xingye got out of the car and saw Xu Xingchen standing at the entrance, smiling at them like a spring breeze.

Bai Chuwei glanced at Duan Xingye, who still had a vocabulary book in his hand, and her face grew colder when she saw Xu Xingchen.

Before they interacted, Duan Xingye in her eyes could only be considered as a disposable character briefly mentioned in the original text, but after getting to know his efforts, she felt an increasing dislike for Xu Xingchen, the original male lead.

It was because of Xu Xingchen that all of Duan Xingye’s efforts and expectations turned into nothing, and he even lost his life.

Xu Xingchen greeted them and they entered the elevator together and pressed the button for the 32nd floor.

Bai Chuwei raised her eyebrows in surprise, “The 32nd floor is the topmost duplex villa. Xu classmate, your family is quite wealthy, huh? I wonder what your family does?”

The top floor suites in Skyline Garden cannot be had for less than 20 million yuan.

Xu Xingchen and Duan Xingye were both taken aback. There were no girls at school who weren’t curious about Xu Xingchen’s family, but they always asked in roundabout ways, never as straightforwardly as Bai Chuwei!

Xu Xingchen glanced at Duan Xingye, then lowered his eyes and said vaguely, “My father runs a small business, and my mother is into investing, but our family isn’t as rich as the Duan Family.”

Bai Chuwei’s smile grew more profound as she tugged at her lips. His father runs a small business? That probably wasn’t so simple.

When they reached the top floor and got out of the elevator, they hadn’t even had the chance to knock when the door opened from inside.

A beautiful woman in her thirties with a graceful figure came out, her makeup bright and her smile radiant as she looked at them, “Xingchen’s classmates have arrived, come in quickly. I’m Xingchen’s mother.”

The woman’s gaze suddenly fell on Bai Chuwei, her eyebrows inadvertently furrowing.

Bai Chuwei’s natural dazzling, alluring look and her ethereal charisma gave off an elusive vibe.

They changed their shoes and went inside, and Xu Xingchen’s mother, Xu Li, looked at Bai Chuwei with a smile, “This classmate, it’s your first time at our home, may I know which family you’re from?”

Bai Chuwei, “Bai Guofu, the Bai Family.”

The Bai Family, huh…

Xu Li’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment but quickly recovered, and she said with a smile, “Please sit down, I’ll get you some juice. Xingchen, come to the kitchen and bring out the fruit.”

The mother and son went into the kitchen one after the other. Xu Li used the juicer to make juice, glanced at Xu Xingchen, and warned in a low voice, “Xingchen, you’ll be going back to the Duan Family in the future; don’t associate with those low-class girls.”

Xu Li’s eyes showed a trace of contempt, “From my experience, that Bai Chuwei coming to our house is aiming for you!”
