Looking at her stubborn mother and sister, Bai Ling knew it was useless to say anything. So, she headed to her classroom.

In the classroom, Chu Yuanyuan held the paper sadly and lay on the table, wailing, “Hanxing, how did you manage to do all the questions? I think these questions are difficult!” The gift of learning is beyond envy. She had been worrying about the questions for the whole night and found the answer in less than half a minute when she asked Shen Hanxing to do it. She used to think she was a genius. But after meeting Shen Hanxing, she was devastated.

“See more, do more practice. I do not have any tricks,” Shen Hanxing smiled. “Quickly get up and do a few more questions. You can also be like me if you do more questions and practice.”

Just as Shen Hanxing and Chu Yuanyuan were talking, Bai Ling walked in from outside the door and went straight to Shen Hanxing’s side. “Student Shen Hanxing.” She looked embarrassed and said in a low voice, “Do you think my sister’s condition is so serious that she needs to see a psychiatrist?”

“You believe in me?” Shen Hanxing was a little surprised. She could understand Madam Bai and Bai Youyou’s attitudes. To them, she was an enemy who stood on the opposite side because she married Ji Yan. However, Bai Ling’s attitude was a little unpredictable.

“Although your words are not nice, you are trying to persuade sister to live a good life,” Bai Ling smiled bitterly. “Unfortunately, my sister won’t listen to you.”

Bai Ling did not seem like a member of the Bai family. She was intelligent and sharp. Shen Hanxing’s gaze softened, and she said softly, “I’m not a professional. I’m just giving a suggestion. I think that with Miss Bai’s condition, it’s best to go to a psychologist for psychological counseling.”

“I understand,” Bai Ling smiled bitterly. “Thank you.” Thinking of her mother and sister Bai Youyou’s resistance, she did not know if she could convince them.

The pace of school life was fast and fulfilling. After attending the classes, Shen Hanxing had just left the school when she received a call from Wei Xier. “Mrs. Ji, I’m sorry. I drank too much yesterday and troubled you.” Her voice carried a hint of embarrassment.

“No, Mr. Wei came just in time,” Shen Hanxing was a little shocked when she thought about what happened last night. “Besides, I drank too much and didn’t help much.”

“Mrs. Ji, thank you,” Wei Xi’er thanked her solemnly, and she sounded a little emotional. “You were right earlier. My feelings blinded me. Thank you for not minding my ignorance and drinking with me to drown my sorrows.”

“It’s good to hear you got over it,” Shen Hanxing chuckled.

“Then… Mrs. Ji, can I still go on dates with you?” Wei Xier was a little nervous. She cleared her throat and explained, “My brother Wei Yong has always asked me to get in touch with you, and… I don’t have many friends after I return to this country.” She didn’t want to spend time with those people. Those women only wanted to marry a good husband and only knew how to rely on men to live.

“Of course,” Shen hanxing said gently, “after all, we’ve had drinks together. We are friends, right?”

“Of… of course!” Wei Xier’s voice instantly became joyful. “Then, do you want to have afternoon tea together on the weekend? I know a shop that just released a new recipe.”

Shen Hanxing accepted Wei Xi’er’s invitation. Thus, on the weekend, Ji Yan, who had brought his work home to spend more time with Shen Hanxing, realized that Shen Hanxing had already packed up and was about to leave the house.

“Do you have something on today?” Ji Yan lowered his eyes and asked, “did you make an appointment with someone?”

“Is sister-in-law not going to be at home today?” Ji Qian’s eyes widened, and she said with disappointment, “I thought I could stay with my sister-in-law today.” For some reason, she felt she would be motivated when studying if her sister-in-law was around.

“I made an appointment with Miss Wei to have afternoon tea together,” Shen Hanxing replied. “I don’t think I’ll be back for dinner.”

“Miss Wei? Wei Xi’er?” Ji Qian thought as she sat up straight and pursed her lips. “Sister-in-law, do you want me to go with you?” She keenly sensed that another woman had come to snatch her sister-in-law away!

Shen Hanxing hesitated for a moment. “Maybe next time.” She was usually willing to bring the younger siblings out, but Wei Xi’er was clearly in a bad mood due to a breakup. It would be awkward to bring someone else over at this time.

Ji Qian, who had been rejected, instantly felt disappointed. But she did not dare to retort. She could only look at Shen Hanxing eagerly. “Then sister-in-law, please come back early…”
