The Undercover Heir is Actually Tycoon's Secret Girlfriend-Chapter 435 - 353

Bai Su crossed his arms, his mouth curved into a meaningful smile.

"Hmm, you go out first."

Rong Zhi: "Okay."

She turned around and left, leaving Bai Yu with a graceful departing silhouette.

The Yan Family’s ancestral house is about a two-hour drive from the Yan Mansion. Zishu Ning left her newlywed husband behind and got into Rong Zhi’s car.

Rong Zhi met Qi Que’s obscure and resentful gaze and leisurely rolled up the window.

"You don’t need to be afraid of him," Zishu Ning spoke in her eternally calm and gentle tone, "He just sometimes looks fierce, but has a good temper."

This Rong Zhi knew.

Qi Que’s demeanor was the kind of suave and casual grace that comes from within, similar to Zishu Ning. Both were gentle and easygoing in nature.

People in love usually complement each other, but they were exceptions.

Zishu Ning rarely talked about her past in front of outsiders, but with Rong Zhi, perhaps because she sensed a brotherly aura from her, she couldn’t help but think of her as one of her own, hence she talked more.

She and Qi Que were childhood friends.

But as she grew older, Zishu Ning busied herself with family affairs and seldom appeared outside. In fact, she was very soft-hearted and introverted, if a proposal seemed feasible, she would listen to whatever others had to say.

Given this personality, she wouldn’t normally become a family heir.

"It was Qi Que who taught me how to manage the family," Zishu Ning neatly folded her hands in front of her, "But I know my qualifications are mediocre, learned bits and pieces, and didn’t dare tell him."

Rong Zhi propped her chin and listened earnestly.

She has been in Four Directions County for quite a while, and even heard other people discussing Zishu Ning at the wedding.

Though not beautiful, she stood out among the five families to become the only female family head; there must be something special about her, only she herself wasn’t aware of it.

Rong Zhi absent-mindedly nodded her forehead, recalling how they described her.

After pondering for a moment, she remembered.

——Renowned throughout the Four Directions.

Once they arrived at the ancestral house, Qi Que was to go with Zishu Ning to pay respects to the ancestors, so Rong Zhi sat drinking tea in the garden in the front yard, the architectural style here resembling that of the Yan Mansion.

Though the era seemed older, more quaint.

She listened to the rustling sound of cicadas buzzing next to her ear, while tapping her phone to chat with Bai Su.

Before long, someone called her name from afar, she turned her head to see Zishu Ning standing in front of the corridor waving at her.

"Come with me."

Rong Zhi stood up and followed.

The two passed around the main house; the surroundings were tranquil and peaceful, compared to the bustling Yan Mansion, it was very quiet here.

"Grandfather doesn’t like commotion," Zishu Ning softly explained, her body carried the scent of agarwood from the ancestral hall, probably she came to find her immediately after finishing the tasks.

Rong Zhi nodded, she had something on her mind to ask, but hesitated feeling abrupt, so she just gave a faint sound of agreement.

"You want to ask about Bai Su, right?" Zishu Ning, however, saw through her thoughts, as they walked across another corridor, seeming to enter deep into the backyard of the ancestral house.

Since she had already pointed it out clearly, it wasn’t worth hiding, Rong Zhi straightforwardly asked, "I do want to ask a bit about his childhood?"

Zishu Ning had a clearly knowing expression that said ’I knew it.’

"Actually, it’s not something to be embarrassed about."

They arrived before a visibly renovated ancient house, Zishu Ning pushed open the door saying, "He was brought back by Grandfather and fostered at the Yan Family when he was young."

Logically speaking, Bai Su belonged to the Bai Family, even if he visited his grandfather’s house to play, it should have been just a short stay, yet he stayed for several years.

Publicly, it was declared he was recuperating, but internally only the insiders knew the truth.

"When I went to find Qi Que back then, I saw him," Zishu Ning continued in a light tone, "A frail little child, compared to peers he was really too weak."
