After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

Aside from holidays like Chinese New Year, Bai Yu's father's job doesn't usually offer many days off. He just comes home for dinner in the evenings, so it's not a big deal.

New Year's Day is a time for family reunion, and Bai Yu was in a good mood because her grandparents from the countryside were coming to visit.

They all hummed little tunes as they left the neighborhood.

However, early this morning, Su Rongxue, Murong Liyue, Si Yu, Qing Sisi, and Li Cheng all sent their New Year's greetings.

Let's not even talk about Li Cheng, Wen Chiqi, and Feng Zhou. Except for Feng Zhou, they all stayed in their dorm rooms and spent New Year's Day alone.

Even so, I still have to offer my blessings. Although all three of them are just a series of complicated blessings, as long as the meaning is conveyed, that's enough.

Of course, Bai Yu had it even easier; she simply copied the three people's blessings and sent them back—that's something else!

Besides the three who sent their blessings, Su Rongxue, Murong Liyue, and Qing Sisi also sent their blessings, but in different ways.

Su Rongxue wrote a long string of handwritten blessings. I don't know what this girl was thinking. She wrote it like an essay, so long. Doesn't she find it troublesome?

Murong Liyue, on the other hand, was very direct, just like her personality: a 3,000 yuan red envelope accompanied by the message, "Let's spend the next New Year's Day together."

As for Qing Sisi, she really understood Bai Yu's preferences that day. She directly sent Bai Yu game skins, several sets of skins, and even recorded a video and sent it to him.

Upon opening the video, Bai Yu immediately saw Qing Sisi wearing a pink and white JK uniform with white stockings, smiling and making a heart shape with her hands in front of the camera.

Happy New Year, senior! I love you!

Bai Yu was touched by this; the girl was truly lively and cheerful.

Bai Yu thought the other three were alright, but things were completely different when she met Si Yu.

Because Si Yu sent a message that directly asked Bai Yu to spend New Year's Day with him, asking Bai Yu to come over at noon, and saying that she would cook his favorite beef.

However, Bai Yu wanted to spend the holiday with her family, so how could she possibly go to Si Yu's house?

Besides, Si Yu almost made it back to her last time, so Bai Yu didn't dare to go and refused outright.

"Senior Siyu, it's New Year's Day today, I don't have time to come over."

Bai Yu had just sent her rejection message when Si Yu replied a few seconds later.

"Don't you want to live with your sister?"

Since it was just a string of text, Bai Yu naturally couldn't discern any emotion from it.

And his first reaction was, of course, to agree, without a doubt. Chapter 144 A Perfect Match (Fourth Update, Seeking Votes)

"I want to celebrate the holiday at home, so that won't work."

Bai Yu's reasons for refusing were perfectly reasonable, even perplexing.

So after sending this message, Bai Yu didn't see Si Yu reply again.

So he focused on completing the special task assigned to him by his mother.

However, at this moment, Si Yu was sitting alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the TV drama.

She wasn't completely without relatives to celebrate the holidays with; after all, she had an uncle and grandparents. But while she did have them, their relationship wasn't very good.

It wasn't for any other reason than that after Si Yu received all of her parents' inheritance, the company was temporarily managed by her uncle. To put it bluntly, the company was indeed under Si Yu's name, but her uncle wanted to take it over.

There have been many instances where Si Yu has been indirectly or directly pressured to hand over the company's ownership, but Si Yu has always refused.

With her parents gone, some family ties gradually faded and changed. Her grandparents lived their own lives and rarely inquired about Siyu's situation.

It has been more than two years since Siyu last celebrated a holiday with relatives. In fact, Siyu usually spends holidays with friends.

But this New Year's Day, she thought of Bai Yu and decided to spend it with her, so she didn't invite any of her friends.

However, she failed to consider that Bai Yu also had a family, and now she could only live alone.

He held his phone, stared at Bai Yu's WeChat profile picture, clicked on it, then exited, repeating this action over and over again.

"Can't the older sister spend the holiday with her younger brother? She should be able to, right?"

He muttered to himself, not knowing what Si Yu was trying to express.

However, not long after, she seemed to have come up with a good idea. She suddenly stood up, smiled, and ran back to her room to start dressing up.

The solution she came up with was to go to Bai Yu's house and spend the holiday with Bai Yu. This way, she could celebrate the holiday with Bai Yu, and Bai Yu could also celebrate with her family. It was a win-win situation, wasn't it?

This method is simply perfect, but if Bai Yu knew about it, she would be so anxious she'd jump up and down.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, Si Yu dressed up very carefully this time. She rarely wore lipstick, but she did wear it for once. She even braided a few small braids on the left side of her long, straight black hair to make it look better.

Wearing a white sweatshirt and black stockings, Si Yu twirled gently in front of the mirror. Feeling quite satisfied, she picked out her favorite bag from a large pile of bags in her wardrobe and went out.

Before going to Bai Yu's house, Si Yu needs to buy some things, otherwise it would be impolite.

While others buy food and drinks as gifts, Si Yu is rich and buys luxury goods directly.

She didn't treat Bai Yu as an outsider at all. Ever since that pinky promise, Si Yu no longer considered Bai Yu an outsider.

Therefore, spending money on Bai Yu's family is the same as spending money on your own family.

Of course, the price to pay is that Bai Yu cannot show any sign of abandoning or ignoring her older sister; if she is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable...

After preparing the gifts, Si Yu didn't message Bai Yu to let her know she was coming, since Bai Yu didn't really treat her like an outsider.

As for whether or not he knows Bai Yu's detailed home address, there is no need to worry, Si Yu has already investigated everything.

Bai Yu knows how many people are in her family and who her relatives are.

As the older sister, how could she not know everything about her younger brother?

From Si Yu's own perspective, this idea seems perfectly fine, but from Bai Yu's perspective, it's a huge problem.

The investigation was so detailed that anyone who knew they had been investigated in this way would definitely feel insecure.

This time, Si Yu didn't ride a motorcycle, but instead chose to drive to the neighborhood where Bai Yu lived.

Si Yu is a truly wealthy woman. Although she only drives a family-oriented Mercedes-Benz, she does own sports cars and other luxury vehicles.

However, she doesn't like to be too flashy and prefers a low-key life.

At this moment, Bai Yu was playing computer games at home, completely unaware that Si Yu would come to his house.

Of course, no one would have expected this, and a normal person wouldn't go to someone else's house on New Year's Day, would they?

10:32 AM

Just as Bai Ma was washing vegetables in the kitchen, the doorbell rang.

After wiping her hands on her apron, Bai Ma called out towards the door.

"Who is it?"

As she said this, she went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the door, which made her frown slightly and ask in confusion.

"Is there something you need?"

"Oh, excuse me, but we at XXX Real Estate are having a special offer right now. Since you're a resident here, you'll get a discount on your next purchase, which can reach..."

"No, no, we've already bought one house, why would we need to buy another? No need, thank you."

Before the middle-aged man in the suit could finish speaking, Bai Ma rejected all the real estate offers.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man could only smile politely and turn to the next shop to continue his sales pitch.

Just as Bai Ma was about to close the door, she saw a young girl wearing a white hoodie and black stockings carrying two bags walking out of the elevator.

Aunt Bai knew all the neighbors, so she knew exactly who lived on this floor.

The problem was that she had never seen this little girl in all these years, nor had she ever heard anyone mention her existence, so she took a second look.

Moreover, she was quite a pretty girl, but after taking one more look, Bai Ma closed the door behind her.

But at that moment, she saw the girl glance at both sides of the corridor and then walk straight toward her.

Bai's mother was a kind-hearted person. When she saw the little girl coming over, she assumed that she had gone to the wrong floor or wanted to ask for the room number, since she had never seen her before. So she did not close the door.

"Sister, is this Bai Yu's house?"

A very pleasant voice entered Bai Ma's ears. Although Bai Ma was definitely a great beauty when she was young, and still retains her charm now, she was still very happy to be called "sister".

After all, what woman doesn't like being called younger?

"This little girl knows how to talk. This is Bai Yu's home. I'm his mother. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon hearing Bai Ma's words, Si Yuming knew that the woman in front of him was Bai Yu's mother. He had deliberately addressed her as "sister" before, and now that Bai Ma had introduced herself, she showed a surprised expression.

"Oh? Auntie? I thought you were Bai Yu's older sister."

Goodness, that one sentence made Bai Ma very happy. She didn't even ask what Si Yu had come for, and invited him into the house first.

"This little girl is so good with words. Come in, I'll go and call that brat Bai Yu out right now!"

"It's alright, sister... Auntie, I didn't come here for anything in particular. I just came to visit you and ask Bai Yu for something."

Hearing Si Yu's words, Bai Ma smiled even more happily. This girl is really polite and eloquent, and she's also so beautiful. Chapter 145: Is there some kind of misunderstanding?

"Why would I visit my aunt? Hahahaha..."

Although Bai Ma said she was visiting him for some reason, her actions showed her smiling and turning to gesture for Si Yu to come in and sit down first.

Si Yu did not refuse to come inside. Instead, she picked up the gift she had bought and handed it to Bai Ma, saying very politely.

"This is a small gift for Aunt and Uncle, please accept it."

Seeing what Si Yu was holding, Bai Ma had no intention of accepting it. Besides, she didn't even know Si Yu, and it wouldn't be right to accept something for no reason, especially since Si Yu was an elder.

"How can I accept this from you, Auntie? If you have something to ask Bai Yu, then you have something to ask. There's absolutely no need for you to buy anything. I can't accept something from a young girl like you. Take it back."

With that, Aunt Bai pushed the things back.

But this was exactly what Si Yu had expected. She didn't insist, but simply put the things on the shoe cabinet next to her and smiled.

"Is Bai Yu home, Auntie?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go and call him out right now."

After saying that, Bai's mother turned around and walked directly towards Bai Yu's room. A moment later, Si Yu heard Bai's mother's annoyed voice coming from Bai Yu's room.

"Bai Yu, a pretty girl is looking for you. Is she your classmate? Stop playing around and come out first. What if she has an emergency?"

"Mom, this can't be paused. Wait for me, just one minute, just one minute, it'll be over soon."
