Bai Zepei glanced apologetically at his family. Once again, he had brought back a group of classmates without giving anyone a heads up, inadvertently inconveniencing his family.
Lin Ping'er was welcoming of Bai Zepei's classmates coming to visit, hoping Zepei would make more friends. But the fact that Du Zhongshu was among them made her feel less inclined.
They had initially agreed not to allow Du Zhongshu in the house, but now that Zepei had brought all his classmates along, it seemed unfair to single Du Zhongshu out. How could they even use the excuse they had agreed upon in front of all these people?
The other issue was narrow-minded Fu Shengqing. The Bai family knew he had a habit of picking fights with Zepei, intentionally or otherwise. While they didn't exactly welcome him, they had to maintain appearances, much like with Du Zhongshu.
