Ji Shaojun quickly rose from the sofa and opened the door.

It was indeed Bai Lian and Ji Heng.

There was also a child with Bai Lian.

“Hey—” Ji Shaojun recognized him, it was Jiang He whom he had seen that night, and he made way, “Kid, you’re here too?”

Jiang He nodded.

He didn’t talk much.

Shen Qing had never seen Jiang He before, so when she encountered such a delicate-looking child for the first time, she didn’t know how to interact with him and washed a plate of grapes for Bai Lian and Jiang He to eat.

“Going fishing this afternoon?” Ji Shaojun noticed that Ji Heng had brought a fishing rod.

Ji Heng set the fishing rod down, “Xiaochen found a good spot for fishing, we’ll try it out this afternoon.”

“Okay, I will come too, and I’ll let Yongkun eat here tonight.” Ji Shaojun didn’t have many classes these days and was annoyed with the headache brought by the demolition issue, and he also enjoyed fishing with Ji Heng.

Having said this, he went to the kitchen to join Shen Qing and help out.

Ji Heng originally wanted to take a smoke break but, catching sight of Jiang He, he resisted the urge.

The living room in Ji Shaojun’s house was small and not very well ventilated.

The old-style phone rang once; it was Ji Shaorong calling. Holding his empty pipe, he picked it up.

“Dad,” the voice from the phone, Ji Shaorong’s, was calm, “is Alian there?”

“She is.”

Ji Shaorong paused, “Ask her if she wants to come to the Ren Family.”

Hearing this, Ji Heng frowned, glanced at Bai Lian, and knew the intention behind Ji Shaorong asking him this question. He didn’t ask Bai Lian and directly replied, “She won’t come.”

He hung up the phone.

“Did you hear that?” At the Ren Family, Ji Shaorong placed his phone on the table and looked at Ren Qian, “She’s not coming.”

Next to him, Ren Qian managed to show a good expression to Ji Shaorong for once, “It’s like a temple being flooded—Xiaoxu’s mistake caused such an awkward situation between our two families.”

Ji Shaorong looked at Ren Qian but didn’t respond.

“Wanxuan,” Ren Qian then turned to Ren Wanxuan, “Regardless, you need to apologize to your cousin and try to get her to forgive you.”

Ren Wanxuan said nothing and got up, heading straight upstairs.

This time, Ren Qian didn’t stop her. Instead, he continued speaking with Ji Shaorong, “Shaorong, this matter isn’t bad for Bai Lian. Teacher Chou said she’s unwilling to go to the Traditional Calligraphers Association, but as her parents, you should persuade her more. It’s not good for her to be stuck in Xiangcheng all the time.”

“Bai Lian is at her uncle’s place?”

“Yes, her uncle lives in Yongfu Residential Area, Building 7, Apartment 601.” The secretary-general had anticipated what Ren Qian was about to do and recited an address.

Ren Qian was quite satisfied with the secretary-general’s efficiency, pressing the bridge of his nose, “Prepare yourself, you and Minister Xu should have a good talk with Bai Lian.” _{freēwebnovel.com}

At Ji Shaojun’s home.

The door was left ajar.

When the secretary-general and Minister Xu arrived, Ji Heng had already taken Ji Shaojun out for fishing.

Bai Lian was watching Jiang He play with a puzzle.

“Mr. Secretary,” Shen Qing brought out new teacups and brewed tea for them. She then glanced at the cramped living room, unsure where to put her hands and feet, “Please, have a seat.”

She patted the sofa again and again.

The secretary-general looked indifferently at the somewhat yellowed sofa cushion, didn’t speak, and did not sit down.

Minister Xu, seeing Shen Qing’s demeanor, felt much more relaxed.

He took the tea Shen Qing brewed, casually putting it aside and smiling, “Thank you.”

Bai Lian leisurely helped Jiang He place a puzzle piece before standing up. Without looking at them, she pressed Shen Qing down to sit on the sofa, “Auntie, please sit.”
