At that time, Bai Susu truly felt exceedingly bored.

I hardly ever ate meals cooked by my parents; it was usually the nanny who prepared our food.

Huh, why haven’t I seen Aunt Lan today?

“Mom, where’s Aunt Lan?” Bai Susu asked curiously.

“Your Aunt Lan had something to attend to today and needed to return home, so I gave her the day off,” Mother Ye replied.

Bai Susu’s mother maintained herself very well; her skin was very fair, with scarcely any wrinkles. One could tell she was a beauty in her youth.

“Oh, I see. Mom, you’ve had a hard time, making all this delicious food for me.” Bai Susu said, reaching her arms from behind to hug Mother Ye, resting her little head on Mother Ye’s back, her little cheeks brimming with happiness.

“You child, go watch TV. I can handle things here by myself. Go on, the smell of the cooking oil is strong,” Mother Ye said gently.

This girl, truly is…

“Hehe, I don’t want to. I want to help Mom,” Bai Susu said.

“There’s not much to help with here. You go cut some fruit to eat; I’ll be done here shortly,” Mother Ye spoke again.

“Alright then, I’ll go do that. Remember to call me if you need help.” Bai Susu let go of Mother Ye and turned to walk towards the living room. Approaching the refrigerator, she opened it and saw a big watermelon. Bai Susu then hugged the watermelon into the kitchen to cut the fruit.

After cutting the fruit, she used toothpicks to skewer a few pieces and fed them to Mother Ye.

Only then did she carry the fruit plate out.

“Dad, eat some watermelon. This watermelon has been chilled in the fridge, it’s just right to eat and refreshing.” Bai Susu said happily.

“Hmm, indeed it is very nice,” Father Bai replied with a smile, nodding his head.

The two watched TV, very engrossed in it.

Soon, Mother Ye finished cooking the meal.

At this time, Bai Susu’s second uncle and his wife also arrived, specifically the two of them came.

Five people sat at the dining table, eating the meal.

“Susu, it’s been a while since I saw you last, and I didn’t expect you to grow more charming by the day,” Bai Susu’s second aunt Zhao Yan said with a smile.

A flicker of contempt passed in her eyes. Humph, no matter how pretty she grows, isn’t she still a loss-causing burden!

A daughter is never as good as a son, after all.

“Thank you for the compliment, second aunt. You also seem to grow younger and more beautiful,” Bai Susu replied, rather coldly to everyone except her parents, grandparents, and Ye Fan.

She was never good at these things, so…

“Not at all, your brother Ziming has grown up; I’m getting old,” Zhao Yan said.

“Why didn’t brother Ziming come with you today?” Bai Susu asked.

Bai Ziming was indeed the child of her second uncle’s family, their only son.

That kid, he’s not too bad.

We used to play together in the past, but we rarely see each other now that we’ve grown up.

“That boy is just busying himself with nonsense all day,” said second aunt Zhao Yan, a hint of smugness flickering in her eyes.

Old Master Bai had two sons and one daughter. The daughter married off early, and Old Master Bai’s wife had left this world a few years ago.

Both sons worked for Bai Corporate Group, holding the positions of general manager and vice general manager respectively.

Of course, the older son’s household, which was Bai Susu’s father’s, held the position of general manager, while the second son’s household held that of vice general manager. Because of this, the two families often clashed at work.

There were issues within the company, and they had come together to think of a solution.

And this solution fell on Bai Susu’s shoulders.

“Susu, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you really don’t seem to understand how serious things are. Look at how worried your parents are with your grandfather’s affairs and the company’s issues. Your parents are really distressed!” Bai Ren said at this point, a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

“Second uncle, what do you think I should do to relieve my parents of their stress, to make you think I’m sensible?” Bai Susu asked, her lips curving into a small, indifferent smile.

Heh, she knew that her second uncle and aunt didn’t look too favorably upon her. Their coming to her home today was no simple matter.

They came fully prepared it seemed.

What, did her second uncle want her to marry someone from the Jia Family?

“Of course, you should try everything possible to help your parents get through these hard times and see the company through its difficulties!” Bai Ren said at that moment.

“How exactly?” Bai Susu asked nonchalantly while taking another bite of her meal.

“All you have to do is dine with that young master from the Jia Family, casually ask for him to lend a hand, meet his conditions, and you can help the Bai Family. Besides, raising a daughter is for marriage, isn’t it? She can’t run a business like a son can!” Bai Ren spoke again.

They had a son in their second household.

Their older brother’s household only had this one daughter.

What use could a daughter be except to marry off? A daughter married off is like water poured away.

Anyway, they had long looked down on the first household. With no son, there was no one to carry on the family legacy.

However, it was said that Bai Susu’s mother was originally pregnant with twins. However, Bai Susu came out first, and the boy, born a few seconds later, suffocated to death!

“Second uncle, I must disagree with you there. Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I am less than anyone.. And what’s this about male superiority and female inferiority in today’s society? Whether I do this or not is my own affair; there’s no need for you to command me around!”
