The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604: 234 Fermentation, Top Secret (First Update)_2

“Lately, Nanjing and Beixuan seem to be up to something,” Xu Lao, dressed in a Tang suit and holding a white jade teacup, remarked as he looked at Xu Nanjing sitting idly by his side, peeling sunflower seeds with evident boredom. “There’s been quite a commotion.”

All the clubs in Yunxiao District were shut down for comprehensive reforms, and a large batch of people from the agency had been replaced, from the top down.

It wasn’t just online speculation; the commotion was so great that even Xu Lao was aware of it.

Chen Xiao chuckled, “Nanjing is doing quite well.”

Whenever Xu Nanjing was mentioned, Xu Lao couldn’t hide his satisfaction, “Indeed, his abilities surpass those of his father.”

As the two of them chatted, Xu Jueming, seated below, showed minute changes in his expression.

...

The weighty door to the resting room was flung open, “Old Master, Young Master Jiang has arrived.”

At those words, the room fell into an instant hush; Xu Nanjing hurriedly stood up and looked towards the door, as Xu Lao and Chen Xiao also set down their cups and stood.

Xu Jueming glanced at his son and daughter, his expression turning even grimmer.

He knew that Xu Nanjing had a good relationship with Jiang Fulai, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Fulai to actually come.

Outside the door, several figures slowly walked in.

The man in the lead wore a white shirt, a silk striped tie, and a black suit that was rarely seen outside, which made his face appear even more cold and his gaze icy.

“Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen, sorry for my late arrival.”

Jiang Fulai looked back and Ming Dongheng stepped forward two paces, handing a gift to Xu Lao.

“You’ve arrived at the perfect time, Young Master Jiang,” Xu Lao said with a smile, his face creased with pleasure.

Not until Jiang Fulai had taken a seat next to Xu Lao did the others gradually take their seats.

Xu Jueming approached Jiang Fulai with Xu Jinyi and Xu Jin to greet him, “Young Master Jiang.”

Jiang Fulai’s eyes slightly lifted as he nodded faintly, pride mingled with his chilly demeanor.

Today was Xu Lao’s birthday celebration, and the conversation revolved around light-hearted topics.

Jiang Fulai did not join in, simply picking up the teacup by his side, lowing his gaze and gently blowing on it. His appearance was cold and distant, capable of chilling you from several meters away, deterring anyone from asking him anything.

The noise in the resting room had quieted down considerably from before.

A few minutes later, Jiang Fulai’s phone chimed. He took it out and looked down.

It was a message from Bai Lian.

She was eating in the canteen with Ji Shaojun, Yang Lin, and others, and sent him a screenshot of a bank balance—

[999662.9]

Jiang Fulai disregarded the account, his slender fingertips tapping on the phone’s screen, and directly replied: [Is Uncle Ji still there?]

His expression seemed noticeably softer.

After sitting for a few more minutes, he gripped the phone.

He stood up and politely said his goodbyes to the Xu family members.

Xu Lao hadn’t expected him to leave so hastily, but in the end, he didn’t question him, assuming that Jiang Fulai, being a workaholic, must be returning to his lab.

They took a private elevator from the third floor to another exit, passing only through areas with security.

Once Jiang Fulai had left, Xu Jueling remembered the earlier discussion and turned to look at Xu Nanjing, “What exactly is going on in Yunxiao District?”

Because of Chen Luping’s connections, Xu Jueming also knew of Yu Hongyi. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}
