Bai Guofu looked at Bai Chuwei in awe and answered softly. “She’s your ancestor.”

During the past sixty years, he had grown from a child to an old man with a headful of white hair. However, Bai Chuwei still looked like an 18-year-old young lady and time seemed to have stopped for her. It was impossible to discern her exact age.

Bai Yinyin was so angry that she nearly vomited blood. Her grandfather’s answer made her suspect if he really had Alzhemer’s, now.

Bai Chuwei gently twisted her neck to look at him and asked in a languid voice. “Have you settled the task of my enrollment in Henghua?”

Bai Guofu nodded deferentially. Suddenly, a glint flashed through his muddled eyes as a thought occurred to him.

He then spoke to her in all cautiousness, “It’ll take a few more days to be finalized. Moreover, it would be safer to have parents when you’re studying outside. So, I was wondering if you are willing to be registered as an adopted daughter under my second son, Bai Hongguang?”

In fact, the old man had some selfish thoughts about that arrangement. He had two sons. His eldest son’s family was rather stable, with a capable grandson who was the prime candidate to inherit the company.

However, his second son’s family was, honestly, too lackluster. Bai Hongguan was incapable, and spent his time drinking and indulging in pleasure, causing the old man to be deeply worried for his future.

But if Bai Hongguang and his family managed to get connected with the ancestor, he would not have to worry about his second son becoming penniless after he passed away in the future.

Bai Chuwei’s lips curled up in a meaningful smile. She was well aware of Bai Guofu’s thoughts.

She sighed internally. As expected, the scenario was really unfolding as per its original track. The Bai Chuwei of the original story was an orphan and had enrolled in Henghua as the adopted daughter of the Bai Family. Even with the system malfunctioning, the scenario still remained the same.

Liu Man’s anger shot through the roof and she glared at her husband, Bai Hongguan. She leaned over and whispered angrily. “Did you agree to let that girl get registered under our family? Why didn’t you discuss this with me?”

Since the old man had mentioned it, he must have discussed it with Bai Hongguan in private!
