Bai Ruozhu finished giving some instructions to Ruyi, and then went to have a meal with Jiang Yichun. However, before they could even leave the yard, they heard Mr. Xie talking with someone. When they saw the person, they realized it was Ji Ziyan, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
Bai Ruozhu was startled, as Ji Ziyan had lost much weight and looked as though he had recently recovered from a serious illness. She quickly bowed in respect and said, "Mr. Ji, we meet again, I'm sorry for any trouble caused by Xiaosi."
Every time Xiaosi was mentioned, a dull pain would throb in Bai Ruozhu's heart. Xiaosi had unexpectedly run off with someone, abandoning his studies.
Seeing the two of them, Ji Ziyan was also slightly surprised, but soon said with a hint of regret, "Now that you're back, do try to persuade Bai Zeqing to return. I still hope that he will come back to his studies."
"Mr. Ji is right, I will go find him tonight." said Bai Ruozhu.
