As soon as the beggars saw their chance, they scrambled away.
After chasing off the scamming beggar, Su Xuan took Wu Qian shopping for several Lolita outfits and dropped her back at school.
Ring, ring!
Just as Su Xuan was about to drive home, Bai Xue suddenly called again.
This time, Bai Xue's voice sounded as though she had been greatly wronged. She told Su Xuan that her father wasn't ill at all.
The real reason she had called was that her parents had set up a marriage for her and urged her to come home for a meeting. But, as always, whenever her family called about setting up a marriage, Bai Xue would always come up with various excuses not to go home. Out of helplessness, her father pretended to be ill to trick her into coming home, where she discovered the deception and became very angry with her parents.
Bai Xue also told Su Xuan that the prospective match her parents had introduced was the son of the town mayor, a family with some money and power.
