Chapter 230: 086 The Grandpa with Secrets, Top-notch Legal Team_1

“Alian,” outside, Pu Xiaohan watched Xinming close the back door and couldn’t help but look at Bai Lian, “Something feels weird.”

Bai Lian looked up at the doorframe, her phone idly twirling in her hand.

“Not sure,” she gripped her phone tightly, pausing to think, “You go home first, ask around.”

When the students from Class Fifteen left, they did not have the same ease as when they arrived.

But no one from Class Fifteen could have imagined—

What sort of thing could the usually sunny Zhang Shize have done — at worst, it might be a family emergency, the most serious being Zhang Shize falling ill, or perhaps a car accident?

Pah!

Pu Xiaohan slapped herself in the face.

Such a jinx.

That was what most people in Class Fifteen thought.

Bai Lian took the opportunity to visit her aunt in the hospital.

Ji Heng had only come by during the afternoon to bring Shen Qing chicken soup; it was ill-timed, as Xu En and Ji Mulan were there, and the room was filled with the health supplements they had brought.

Seeing Bai Lian arrive, Xu En greeted her with a smile, “Alian is off school.”

It was all very typical; he always knew how to keep a proper distance in his dealings with others.

He never crossed the line.

Bai Lian didn’t have much animosity toward him, but that was about it. With Ji Mulan standing beside her, Bai Lian just hummed in response — the most courtesy she was willing to show.

“Mr. Xu, what brings you here tonight?” Ji Shaojun had just finished teaching not long ago and poured water for Ji Mulan and Xu En.

Today, they hadn’t made use of Bai Lian.

Mainly because Ji Shaojun felt Bai Lian had animosity toward Ji Mulan, and he was afraid Bai Lian would splash water on Ji Mulan’s face.

Xu En smiled. After exchanging routine greetings with Shen Qing, he reflected a moment, “One of my business partners is in ICU, I’m going to see him later.”

“I see,” Ji Shaojun nodded, not prying further, “Then you should go quickly.”

Xu En also knew that Ji Mulan and Bai Lian, mother and daughter, didn’t get along well. He wasn’t clear about the past between the two, but he could feel that Ji Mulan’s attitude toward Bai Lian had been problematic for some time.

After he left with Ji Mulan,

Ji Shaojun turned to Bai Lian, gesturing for her to help herself to some water, “You and your mother…”

He wondered if there was any possibility of reconciliation between them.

After all, they were mother and daughter.

Now, Ji Mulan’s relationship with Ji Heng was somewhat mended.
