Su Yue smiled at Bai Jing and said, "They sell so many snacks outside, and I ate too much . "
"Okay . " Su Yue's heart palpitated as she looked at Xuxu . Xuxu was looking at Bai Jing, and she didn't seem to see through her lie .
Su Yue heaved a sigh of relief and changed the topic almost immediately . "Third sister-in-law, persuade Bai Jing not to return to her stepfather's house . "
She pulled Xuxu over to Bai Jing's bed and made her sit down .
Bai Jing's expression changed when she heard her words . She looked at Xuxu and maintained the smile on her face .
Xuxu gently patted the back of Su Yue's hand, seemingly hinting at something .

Su Yue wasn't dumb, so she shut her mouth immediately . She sat obediently and quietly beside Xuxu .
Xuxu looked at Bai Jing and said, "Bai Jing, didn't I tell you that you can come to me, Su Yue or her third brother if you are in any trouble?"
"It's actually nothing much . Su Yue was making a mountain out of a molehill . " Bai Jing bowed her head and adjusted her hair, obviously uneasy and trying to hide something .
She just didn't want him to know . She knew that he liked smart and independent women .
Although she couldn't be with him, she wanted to change his opinion about her .
Xuxu could tell that Bai Jing didn't want them to know about her life situation . She pursed her lips and didn't force her .
"Alright, but you must tell me if anything happens next time . Not just because of your friendship with Su Yue, but also on account that your father saved Su Yue's third brother's life . We won't leave you in the lurch . "

It was just like what Yan Rusheng had said . It wasn't the first time that they told her that she should confide in them if ever she was in trouble .
She was a grown girl and she knew how to make her own decisions .
It was part of growing up . She had to go through this journey and make her own choices .
She had left with her biological mother so they couldn't intervene if she didn't ask for help .
Bai Jing smiled and nodded at Xuxu . "Thank you, third sister-in-law . "
Her gaze didn't linger on Xuxu's face . Neither did her eyes meet hers .
Nobody, even Ming Ansheng, Yan Rusheng or his gang, was better at reading people than Xuxu .
Xuxu sensed that Bai Jing was trying to evade the topic . Her smile didn't falter as she said, "Don't forget to come over when you're free . "
She believed that Bai Jing was still a good girl . They were just worried because she was in a new environment .
She could only sigh helplessly .
Bai Jing nodded slowly . She said nothing further, and she didn't lift her head once .
To Xuxu, it was a sign of Bai Jing distancing herself, but to Su Yue, Bai Jing was feeling inferior .
Su Yue frowned . "Bai Jing, my third sister-in-law will help you . You don't have to be afraid . "
Bai Jing looked up at Su Yue and forced a smile .
Su Yue flashed a sincere smile, while Xuxu sighed to herself .
She sighed over how Su Yue was naïve .
Xuxu sat around for a while, then she looked at the time . It was almost noon, so she said to Bai Jing, "Bai Jing, I'll make a move . Remember to come over when you're free . "
Bai Jing nodded .
Xuxu then said to Su Yue, "Yueyue, I'll head back first . Will you be going back to school later?"
"Yes . " Su Yue nodded . Indeed, she would head back to school—after she visited Uncle Ming .
