He recalled Su Yue telling Xuxu she wanted to invite a friend over to her birthday party . She mentioned that this friend of hers was from a poor family and that she had also lost her mother .

So, she was likely the one that Su Yue mentioned . After mulling over it, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile . “I’ll bring you over to her . ”
He knew that the girl felt fearful and inferior for attending such a function for the first time . Hence, he laid down his haughtiness . He was even friendly and warm to her .
The girl stared at his face and was lost in her own thoughts for a moment . She nodded her head afterward . “Thank you . ”
Yan Rusheng pressed his lips together . He strode towards Su Yue .
With her head slightly tilted down, the girl followed behind Yan Rusheng . She had her eyes on her feet while tightly gripping the sides of her dress with both hands .
There were people continuously walking past them and the look on her face got increasingly nervous .
‘Slam!’

As the girl was walking with her head bowed, she didn’t take notice of the waiter walking past her with plates in his hands . She bumped straight into him .
All the plates fell from the waiter’s hands, and it had frightened the girl that she paled . She scrambled to bend down to pick them up, “I’m sorry . I’m sorry . ”
And apologized repeatedly .
Her weak voice sounded full of fear and panic .
Yan Rusheng turned back and witnessed the scene . Without further thoughts, he went back to the girl and gently assured her . “It’s alright, let them clean up instead . ”
When the waiter saw Yan Rusheng, he immediately bowed and apologized, “Third Young Master, I’m sorry . I wasn’t careful and bumped into this lady . ”
Yan Rusheng snarled, “Be more careful next time . ”

The waiter promptly nodded . “Yes . Yes . Yes . ”
Yan Rusheng diverted his gaze back to the girl as she raised her head to look at him at the same time . She was still visibly shocked and a hint of adoration flashed across her eyes .
“What’s wrong?”
At that moment, Xuxu walked towards them and stood next to Yan Rusheng . She scanned the surroundings before fixing her gaze on the girl .
She seemed to hazard a guess and turned around to call out for Su Yue . “Yueyue, is she your classmate?”
Su Yue sprinted towards them and saw the girl squatting on the floor . She grinned . “Bai Jing, you’re here . ”
She bent down and helped her up .
After the girl saw Su Yue, the nervous expression on her face eased . With an apologetic voice, she explained, “My dad was home for dinner and I had to cook for him before leaving home . That’s the reason I’m late . I’m sorry . ”
“It’s alright . ” Su Yue held her hand and turned around to introduce her to Xuxu and Yan Rusheng . “She’s the one that I always mentioned to you, my Third sister-in-law who doted on me most . ”
“This is my Third Brother, ” and she continued, “He’s handsome right? Do you agree?”
The girl smiled, feeling rather embarrassed .
The question had stumped her and she didn’t know how to respond . It amused Xuxu upon seeing Su Yue’s behavior . She least expected that Su Yue would be so gossipy towards her friend .
But she actually liked this feeling .
It was rare for her to have a friend that she liked . Xuxu didn’t dawdle and immediately stretched forth her hand to hold the girl affectionately . “Bai Jing, don’t stand on the ceremony . Let Su Yue show you around and eat whatever you fancy . ”
Bai Jing nodded her head . “Thank you, Third sister-in-law . ”
Just like Su Yue, she addressed her as Third sister-in-law .
Su Yue smiled and looked at Su Yue . “You’ll take good care of your friend right?”
“Mm . ” Su Yue nodded . “I want to bring her to my room first as I’ve something for her . ”
With that, she held Bai Jing’s hand and walked towards the main entrance .
