Chapter 371: 143 Wedding Banquet, Unexpected Guest (Part 2)_1

On the other side of the phone, the voice was very respectful, “Mr. Chen, I was just about to leave.”

“Fine, I’ve sent you the address,” Director Chen said and then hung up the phone.

It’s just that he had no spare invitations.

Director Chen didn’t contact Xu En, he only sent a message to Bai Lian to inquire about the invitation.

Bai Lian was in class at the moment, and he didn’t dare to call her.

One minute later.

Miss Bai: [1]

Only after getting a reply did Director Chen start the car and leave.

Bai Lian and Ning Xiao’s group of three didn’t leave until nearly ten o’clock.

“Where are you going?” Wang Xu was unaware that they intended to leave early, “Today is the last day.”

“Something came up,” Tang Ming spoke for the other two, patting Wang Xu on the shoulder, “We’re going to a wedding, remember to send us the recording.”

“Sure,” Wang Xu nodded vigorously, patting his chest, “Today’s lecture is on physics, Pei Qin’s specialty, I’ll make sure he prepares it well for you guys.”

“Thanks,” Tang Ming punched his arm.

Yu Guang saw Bai Lian and Ning Xiao walking away and immediately grabbed his backpack to catch up.

Chang’an District was separated from the Yunxiao Hotel by Xingjiang District, and if traffic was bad, it could take more than an hour to get there.

By the time they went downstairs, Jiang Fulai and Jiang He were already waiting in the car.

“Professor Jiang,” upon seeing Jiang Fulai, Tang Ming and Ning Xiao instinctively straightened their backs.

“Hmm,” Jiang Fulai responded indifferently, then his gaze shifted to Bai Lian, “Are you really going back tonight?”

“Yes,” Bai Lian had already packed her things, leaning lazily against the chair back, speaking to Jiang Fulai, “I have to rush back before the New Year; it’s a bit hurried.”

Flying from Jiangjing to Beicheng took half a day, and a train from Beicheng to Xiangcheng also took 12 hours.

Initially, Xu En thought about having the Ji Family stay in Jiangjing for the New Year.

But Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun disagreed.

Not to mention them, Ning Xiao and Tang Ming also need to hurry back for the New Year, as they had no relatives in Jiangjing.

Today, because there were many people, Jiang Fulai had a stretch executive car brought out.

Bai Lian sat in one row with him while behind them was a booth seat where Jiang He and Ning Xiao sat, eating fruit.

When Bai Lian mentioned going back, Jiang He, who was being fed grapes by Tang Ming, immediately crawled over and leaned behind Jiang Fulai’s seat, staring at Bai Lian.

He was pushed away by a finger from Jiang Fulai.

Jiang Fulai’s fingertips rested on a folder, though he hadn’t flipped through a single page, only calmly calculating the time, “There’s no need to rush.”

“But there’s not enough time.”

Boyuan Base also finished today.

They had a flight at nine o’clock tonight to Beicheng, and from there they would have to catch an early morning train to Xiangcheng the following day, arriving only in the evening.

Jiang Fulai tapped the folder intermittently, his expression cool, his voice clear and distinct, “Leave at six o’clock tomorrow morning, I just happen to be going back to the lab for a bit.”

Bai Lian: “…”

That really is just right.

She leisurely took out her phone to call Xu Wenyao. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

Xu Wenyao took a minute to answer the phone, “Hello, Alian, it’s a bit noisy and I didn’t hear, are you there yet?”

“Not yet,” Bai Lian said unhurriedly, “I have one guest here without an invitation, could you help me check on it when the time comes?”

“Without an invitation, what’s his name?” Xu Wenyao inquired.

“Surname Shen, called Shen Min.”

Xu Wenyao wrote down the name on a sticky note, “Okay, I got it.”

Yunxiao Hotel, wedding venue.

Ji Mulan was getting married from the hotel, taking a round to Xu En’s new house and then returning to the hotel’s wedding venue

At this time, the guests were arriving one by one, with Xu En and Xu Wenyao both outside greeting the guests.

Xu En had invited all his staff in Jiangjing to the event, plus some friends from the industry, classmates, and relatives, totalling several hundreds of people. Even if the greetings started at nine o’clock, and he met three or four people a minute, it would still take three hours.

The hotel was clearly well-versed in handling such a large event, assigning twenty hosts and dozens of servers, making it seem not too busy.

Madam Xu arrived not too late either.

She arrived at the wedding venue at ten o’clock, assisted by the Xu Family butler, sitting majestically in the main seat at the table set up under the stage for the wedding.

Ji Mulan was getting her makeup done in the back, she heard that Madam Xu had arrived.

She went forward to greet her, and surprisingly, she too was nervous, “Madam Xu, why have you come?”

She had thought that Madam Xu wouldn’t come today.

The wrinkles on Madam Xu’s face were deep, exuding an intimidating presence that made people reluctant to look directly at her, she didn’t respond to Ji Mulan, scanning the room instead, “Haven’t seen the person yet?”

She had come so early just to wait for Bai Lian.
