Chapter 824: Chapter 554: Playing Young

Bai Liuniang listened to Haige’s words and smiled, “If he’s alright, I’m definitely happy. It’s just that the issues with him aren’t clear yet, and until they are, there’s still suspicion surrounding him.”

“There’s a saying, ‘The innocent will remain innocent,'” Zhao Lao said softly, “Haige, your thinking is right. You’re the only one by your godmother’s side, and it’s right not to go abroad. When you’re away, there’s no one to rely on, home is still better. In this Imperial Capital, your family is also quite prominent. If you truly went abroad, even your godmother couldn’t shield you even if she wanted to.”

Being at home and being abroad are certainly different.

In this Imperial Capital, wherever Bai Liuniang goes, no one dares to cross her. Haige being Bai Liuniang’s only daughter, naturally anyone they meet would show some respect.

But if she really goes abroad, with no support, it’s a worrying matter.

“Yes, Gege. Your godmother hasn’t said much, but she’s truly uneasy about going abroad. So, there’s no rush; it has to be handled slowly. At the very least, it must be proven that Xiuze sincerely cares for you and has the ability to protect you before your godmother can be at ease, right?” Wang Lao also chimed in.

Listening to their words, Haige’s eyes moistened, “I know, in my heart, my godmother is like my real mom. Godmother, don’t worry. I won’t go abroad now; even if I do, it’ll be after you agree. Godmother, remember to drink what Xiuze brought you, I’m heading back now.”

“Don’t be so naive about everything, be more mindful,” Bai Liuniang reminded.

“Alright.”

Haige almost jogged out.

Her godmother still cares about her, but the opinion about Xiuze isn’t something that will fade away anytime soon.

…

In the evening, Bai Liuniang looked at the health supplements Haige brought, and said to the butler, “I don’t really like these things. You can take them home and drink them.”

Compared to using health supplements to improve her physical condition, Bai Liuniang preferred eating more healthy vegetables, walking around more, and doing Tai Chi with old friends, which was great.

The butler put the items away, “Okay, thank you, ma’am.”

Bai Liuniang gazed outside, “I don’t know what the situation is like now.”

The news of Old Xu’s disappearance was something Bai Liuniang was somewhat aware of, but she didn’t inquire about it.

The butler didn’t respond, knowing it was the lady talking to herself, and just softly said, “Ma’am, Miss is newly married now and can’t understand your concerns.”

“Of course I know, she, living for love all her life, now that her lover is finally back, is naturally overjoyed. I’m just hoping she won’t be foolish enough to be taken advantage of.” Bai Liuniang remembered something, “I’m worried that this He Xiuze might have a wife and children abroad already. He’s lived abroad for over a decade; it’s impossible he hasn’t set up a home and career. Only Haige blindly trusts him, and it’s unconditional.”

Back in the day, Old Hai was also a prominent figure, but Haige leans more towards romance.

“Ma’am, Miss isn’t a child anymore. If she had children, they’d be grown by now. Miss chose her own path, so don’t worry too much. If she and the son-in-law are truly good, that’s great. If it doesn’t work out, it’s their fate, and no one else can be blamed. Ma’am, go to bed early, it’s getting late.”

“Yes, they’re adults now. Once a path is chosen, even if you have to crawl on all fours, you have to walk it.”

Haige is not a child, but an independent middle-aged person.

No matter the outcome, she must learn to bear it herself.

…

“Sis, it’s the school’s monthly exam tomorrow. You’ll be joining, right?” Xiaonian sat in front of Xiaofeng, “Sis, everyone in the class is curious about you. Even though you haven’t shown up, you’re already a legend in our class. They hear you might come for the exam, and everyone is asking about you, eager to see you.”

“What’s there to see in a married woman?” Xiaofeng chuckled, “You didn’t tell them I’m already married with kids?”

“I did, but they’re just curious about the Exam God, not interested in pursuing you. Whether you’re married or not doesn’t matter.” Xiaonian stuck out her tongue.

Her sister graduated over two years ago and can still score so well, naturally attracting her classmates’ curiosity.

However, most of her classmates were good in studies, with several aiming for Dihua or Dibei.

“Alright, I’ll take a walk around the school tomorrow. Hopefully, I won’t scare anyone.” She’s just going to take the exam, and whether or not she befriends classmates or gets along isn’t her concern.

“You won’t. You actually look a lot like us,” Xiaonian said honestly.

“You sweet talker.”

Since Xiaofeng was going to the school today, Xiaonian and Shuiling came to her house early to wait for her.

Today, Xiaofeng did dress a bit younger, wearing a simple dress with her hair tied into a high ponytail, looking just like a high school student.

“Sis, looking like that, you’re going to knock out a bunch of students,” Shuiling teased, “No one can tell you’re married with kids, you look just like us, a high school student.”

“I’m not that much older than you guys; I just got married early,” Xiaofeng glanced back with a smile, “Let’s go, it’s been a long time since I visited the school.”

Compared to her past life, high school feels far away.

She has some influence from the original high school life, but the memories of people and events are few.
