Chapter 317: 122 Call for Pickup God, Break Out of the Encirclement (Second Update)_1

What shocked Xu Wenyao was,
the car had a Jiangjing license plate.
It came to a steady stop in front of the two, and the passenger-side window rolled down.
Xu Wenyao finally got a clear view of the person in the driver’s seat. The person was wearing a Bluetooth headset, seemingly in the middle of a conversation just a second ago. The black shirt at the wrist was casually rolled up, and slender fingertips rested on the steering wheel, only glancing at Xu Wenyao briefly.
It was an aloofness that seemed to emanate from the bones.
Just one glance was enough to feel the chilling disdain.
“Goodbye.” Bai Lian opened the car door, nodded slightly at Xu Wenyao, her demeanor neither cold nor warm, measuring the distance perfectly.
By the time Xu Wenyao came back to his senses, the window had closed, and the blue car had already driven away.
“Wenyao,” Ji Mulan called out from inside the courtyard as she saw Xu Wenyao standing still at the entrance, “Why are you still standing outside?”
“Ah,” Xu Wenyao snapped back to reality, hiding his inner doubts, “It’s nothing.”
As he walked towards the house, he glanced back in the direction the car had gone.
He felt that he had seen that person somewhere before.
In the car.
Bai Lian, as usual, pulled out an English book and listened to the English original.
“That one just now,” came Jiang Fulai’s casual voice from the driver’s seat, “is the guy who’s good at physics?”
He emphasized the words “good at physics” very heavily.
“His name is Xu Wenyao, and he’s also from Jiangjing University.” Bai Lian looked up at Jiang Fulai.
Jiang Fulai: “Huh, never heard of him.”
Bai Lian was surprised, “The Xu Family said he’s very impressive.”
Jiang Fulai spared her a glance, “You ‘heard’?”
“Then you’ve heard a lot. What else did you hear?” he asked politely.
That topic was going nowhere, so Bai Lian decided to change the subject, asking about the special training camp instead.
Bai Lian had little expectation for Xu En’s and Ji Mulan’s wedding, but with Ji Heng, Ji Shaojun, and Shen Qing going to Jiangjing, Bai Lian wasn’t too at ease.
“January 19th?” Jiang Fulai mused upon hearing the date, looking at Bai Lian, “That’s close to the Lunar New Year, the special training camp will be on break. Are you going to Jiangjing?”
“I probably will,” Bai Lian said lazily, leaning back in her seat and pressing the play button on her English listening device, “My grandparents are going.”
“Oh.”
