Shen Qing instantly relaxed and signaled to Bai Lian with her eyes that this stepfather wasn’t bad.

But Bai Lian didn’t catch her eye.

Ji Mulan observed Xu En’s reaction and knew he had a favorable impression of Bai Lian. As long as Bai Lian didn’t mess up, her face indeed possessed a deceptive charm.

Although she couldn’t take Bai Lian to the Xu Family, she would still try to make sure Bai Lian had opportunities to interact with Xu En.

“Your grandfather told you, didn’t he,” Xu En pondered for a moment, “I’ll be marrying your mother at the end of the year.”

“Sure.” Bai Lian was indifferent to the news, “Congratulations.”

Ji Mulan’s expression softened a lot.

Xu En was taken aback. He wanted to say more when the cellphone he’d placed aside rang. He looked at it and immediately answered.

“Hello.” Xu En’s voice was serious and respectful; it was obvious the person on the other end wasn’t ordinary, “…Yes, I’m in Xiangcheng, preparing to acquire a project.”

The person on the other end of the phone said something.

Xu En exclaimed in surprise and quickly stood up with some excitement, “What?! …Okay, I understand. I will do it well!”

He waited for the other party to hang up first, then he disconnected the call.

Ji Mulan had never seen Xu En speak to anyone with such an attitude, and she couldn’t help but look at him with surprise, then hesitated, “Who was that call from?”

“The butler Xu,” Xu En tried to contain his joy but couldn’t hide it completely as he smiled at Ji Mulan: “He said Miss Xu is coming to Xiangcheng to pick up something and take it back to Jiangjing. He knew I was in Xiangcheng and told me to take good care of her. Mulan, our decision to come to Xiangcheng was right.”

Ji Mulan understood that the “Butler Xu” and “Miss Xu” he mentioned were definitely not the people she knew from Xu En’s family.

“Miss Xu?” asked Ji Mulan slightly inquisitively.

“It’s Miss Xu Yajun,” explained Xu En to the few people at the table, with a hint of awe and rare envy, “She was earmarked by the Traditional Calligraphers Association at the age of eighteen, and her teacher is the president of the Association.”

Xu Yajun’s father and he had been classmates. They grew up together, but unfortunately, because of Xu Yajun’s soaring status, his family held considerable weight in the main house.

While he was still at the same place.

At this point.

Xu En sighed, just hoping that his own son would have a slightly easier time applying for the laboratory this year.

“You guys don’t understand the weight of the Traditional Calligraphers Association in Jiangjing…” Xu En was about to continue when he looked up and saw Shen Qing’s confused expression. Not just Shen Qing, even Ji Mulan, who had just arrived in Jiangjing, seemed silent.

Xu En stopped mid-sentence, remembering these few individuals likely had no clue about the situation in Jiangjing.

Let alone anything about Xu Yajun and the Traditional Calligraphers Association.

There was no point in explaining the significance of the president of the Calligraphers Association to them.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this,” Xu En shook his head and smiled, “You just need to know that Miss Xu is very important.”

After finishing, Xu En didn’t continue eating.

He picked up his cellphone, bid farewell to Bai Lian and Shen Qing, and hurried back to start an online meeting with his assistant and the chief administrative officer.

Ji Mulan also had a lackluster meal.

As she was paying the bill and leaving absentmindedly, she suddenly stopped when she saw Bai Lian waiting obediently for Shen Qing. “Wait until I get a firm footing in the Xu Family…”

“I made it very clear last time, I’m now registered with grandfather,” said Bai Lian, slowly zipping up as she bowed her head, then when she raised her eyes, they were calm, “Don’t bring this up again. I will never leave with you.”

Bai Lian wasn’t the real original character.

She didn’t know what Ji Mulan was thinking, but even if Ji Mulan was truly reflecting and making amends, she couldn’t replace the original person and forgive the Bai Family and Ji Mulan.

Because the harm had been done, leaving the original girl to die alone in that lake.

Bai Lian could never forgive anyone on her behalf.

Ji Mulan stood frozen in place.

Bai Lian nodded slightly to Ji Mulan and left with Shen Qing.

It was only after they got into the elevator that Shen Qing dared to speak to Bai Lian, “You fool, not taking advantage of a good situation. Your future stepfather is from Jiangjing…”

As Shen Qing spoke, she couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder.

Such fortune for Ji Mulan, she thought, not knowing where it came from.

Bai Lian’s hands were in her pockets, and instead of studying vocabulary like usual, she just lazily walked ahead, “Oh.”

“Silly child,” Shen Qing wanted to ask if she knew what being from Jiangjing meant, but remembering that Bai Lian was even willing to give up the Bai family, she fell silent,

Bai Lian had just returned to her class.

Pu Xiaohan waved at her from her seat with a smile, “Lu’s mom said as soon as you’re back, go straight to the principal’s office!”

The principal’s office again?

The principal’s office.

“Mr. Qiu, Director,” the principal looked at Qiu Xuezheng and the Cultural Bureau director who were sitting idly, and cautiously suggested, “Student Bai has gone out. Wouldn’t you two prefer to have lunch first?”
