Xiaochi? Xiaochen?
Xu En nodded. He didn’t care who this Xiaochi or Xiaochen was, as long as the atmosphere wasn’t awkward.
“Alian got 450 on her monthly exam,” Ji Heng began slowly, “She switched from liberal arts to science, and her teacher said she has a lot of spirit. You don’t need to worry about this matter.”
450?
Xu En nodded without saying anything. He was surrounded by geniuses; saying words of praise for a score of 450 would just be too insincere.
But since the elder was so happy,
he didn’t say anything.
“I’m going to see why the dishes haven’t arrived yet.” Xu En smiled as he stood up, leaving the private room to the father and daughter.
After he left,
Ji Mulan, clutching the bag, spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice: “Dad.”
“Hmm,” Ji Heng said, lowering his head as he slowly folded the report card and put it in his pocket, “Is Xu En’s family even better off than the Bai Family?”
Although it was phrased as a question, he was already certain of it.
Ji Mulan came back to her senses, quickly wiping her eyes.
She regained her savvy and beautiful appearance, “Yes, his family has many connections, so I thought of taking Alian…”
“Let Alian stay in Xiangcheng,” Ji Heng lit his tobacco and took a rough drag.
Smoke blurred his face.
“Dad, you—” Ji Mulan was sparked at once.
She had come back this time for Bai Lian.
But Ji Heng raised his hand, interrupting her, “As you said, Xu En’s family is well off, and he’s surrounded by capable and outstanding people. What kind of life could our Alian lead there? There are barriers between Xiangcheng and Jiangjing.”
Ji Mulan paused.
“Also,” Ji Heng sighed, “his family doesn’t agree with your marriage, does it? If you take Alian there as well, to what extent do you two plan to live at the mercy of others?”
That silenced Ji Mulan completely.
The Xu Family actually supported many people; taking in one more person was not a big deal for them. But among those they supported, who wasn’t talented? To Mrs. Xu, Bai Lian might be less important than even the dogs she raised.
Did she really want to take Bai Lian to live such a life?
“Then my marriage to Xu En…” Ji Mulan opened her mouth.
Ji Heng took another drag of his cigarette, looking down, “We will go.”
“Great, great,” Ji Mulan unavoidably became emotional. It was the first time she spoke calmly with Ji Heng, and he was willing to attend her wedding, “I’ll have someone come to pick you up when the time comes.”
