Ji Mulan instinctively recalled that Ji Heng had also gone fishing that afternoon.
There was someone with a fish… it seemed…
Ji Heng called him Xiaochen?
It was too chaotic at the time, and Ji Mulan hadn’t heard very clearly, but then she laughed at herself, wondering what she was thinking.
How could she associate the ‘Master Chen’ mentioned by Miss Xu and the others with those shady characters?
She and Xu En were aware of Xu Yajun.
However, Ren Qian and Chen Gang didn’t know and exchanged shocked glances. Could this girl actually be so familiar with Master Chen’s whereabouts?
“You want to invite him to dinner?” Xu Yajun looked at Xu En and pondered slightly, thinking that she would likely return after receiving the Lanting Award, “I’ll ask him for you later.”
“That would be great!” Xu En’s eyes lit up.
He found it hard to even meet Master Chen, but it was not the case for Xu Yajun.
Across the table, Ren Qian and Chen Gang looked at each other, Xu Yajun’s tone suggesting she was quite familiar with Master Chen, prompting a new realization about her identity.
Xu Yajun, having no interest in the others, left early to rest after finishing her meal.
After she left, Ren Qian raised a glass to Xu En: “The young lady just now is…”
“Her?” Xu En didn’t hide anything. Being new to Xiangcheng, he wanted to use this opportunity to create some buzz for himself, “She’s my old classmate’s daughter, a student of President Xue of the Traditional Calligraphers Association. Miss Xu Yajun. You might not have heard of her in Xiangcheng, but she’s quite famous in Jiangjing. You know about the Lanting Award, right? She’s a shoo-in for the first prize.”
The Traditional Calligraphers Association, President Xue—Ren Qian and Chen Gang might not be familiar with these names.
But Ren Qian had heard of the Lanting Award.
Ren Wanxuan had wanted to apply for the Lanting Award this year but was rejected by Qiu Xuezheng, yet this Miss Xu was actually aiming for the first prize.
Both of them had their calculations.
Meanwhile, at Ji Heng’s place.
Director Chen and Xiaomao stayed for dinner.
He cooked himself in the evening, preparing fish head with chopped chilis, sour soup fish, and hand-made fish balls for the soup.
The skill wasn’t anything impressive, but it was very homely.
Director Chen took a photo and posted it on social media—
[Thanks, Uncle Ji, this is delicious [image]] frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Jiang He was visible, just a little, in the picture.
