The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: 184 Yan Lu really has a big shot behind her_2

Bai Lian had told him her name, but he never changed it, calling her “Oldie.”

Latterly, Bai Lian stopped bothering with small talk and let him call her as he pleased.

Bai Lian typed with one hand; she was now proficient at it, but her responses were still brief—

[1]

He Wen: [I got a holiday, and there was a hefty subsidy for the New Year. Do you have time to come out? I’ll treat you to a meal]

He Wen: [And about the recent research papers]

In the scientific research community, these were the big events. He Wen had talked about it with his team members, but some things could only be “gotten” by those on the same wavelength. When Jiang Fulai introduced Bai Lian to He Wen, it was also because he felt that the two had extraordinary talent in mathematics.

Bai Lian: [1]

After replying to He Wen, she switched back to the reading app.

Sister Xin was walking to Bai Lian’s left.

She was the only one who took things relatively in stride, since she was directly involved in Zhang Shize’s case; from Chi Yundai to Bai Lian, every person involved was extraordinary.

The group said their goodbyes on the road outside Purest Street.

Only after Bai Lian’s figure had vanished at the entrance of the alley did Mei Yi’s agent lean in closer. Staring at the mouth of the alley, his heart still pounding, he said, “Sister Xin, that friend of Teacher Yan Lu, who is it?”

Two honorifics in one sentence.

Mei Yi’s agent started to address her with “Teacher” even.

“Yan Lu is still a newcomer,” Sister Xin said with a helpless smile, correcting Mei Yi’s agent’s address, “Just call her Xiaolu. Don’t worry, I assure you that tonight’s agenda with Teacher Mei won’t be boring.”

That was all Sister Xin had to say.

Mei Yi’s agent nodded, seeing that Sister Xin didn’t want to elaborate and choosing not to press any further.

On the way here, they had thought this place to be excessively rundown, but as night fell, the bright streetlights cast a layer of mystery over these old houses.

Mei Yi’s agent had actually noticed how excessively reverent Yan Lu and Sister Xin were towards Bai Lian, which didn’t seem typical of just friends. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

There were rumors in the circle that Yan Lu must have some big backer, but within the nearly secret-free industry, no one knew who it could be. Later, everyone let it go, assuming Yan Lu was just lucky.

But now…

Mei Yi’s agent withdrew his gaze from the alley, realizing that Yan Lu really did have someone supporting her.

He went back to the roadside, boarding the production team’s vehicle to wait for Yan Lu and Mei Yi to finish their recording.

In Ji Heng’s courtyard.

Ning Xiao had just finished a problem when he received a message from Wang Youfeng, saying he was at the corner.

Ji Heng had just handed a thermos to Ning Xiao when he suggested, “Why don’t you ask your uncle to join us for dinner?”

“He’s busy, needs to go back to check on my grandmother.” Ning Xiao politely declined on Wang Youfeng’s behalf. Wang Youfeng had a terrible temper, fierce and intimidating, and Ning Xiao had introduced Bai Lian and the others to him only because he had no other choice.

After saying this, he took the thermos and left.

Around the corner, Wang Youfeng stood under a streetlight making a phone call with his mobile.

Seeing Ning Xiao, he gestured for him to come over.

Ning Xiao silently handed over the thermos to Wang Youfeng, who then hung up the phone, took the thermos, and raised his eyebrows at Ning Xiao, “Not bad, huh? Going to a classmate’s house and coming back with both food and gifts.”

He spoke offensively, and Ning Xiao rarely dealt with him.
