Chapter 609: Ji Heng arrived in 238, a gift from the Ma Institute scholar (first update)_1
The manager respectfully led Xiao Bingwen inside.
He had just gone downstairs to prepare the cake and, upon entering, immediately saw Jiang Fulai’s face, blurred by the lighting. The relaxed smile on his face vanished, “Mr. Jiang.”
He greeted Jiang Fulai.
Jiang Fulai lazily tilted his head, displaying an air of indolence. His pale eyes briefly swept over Xiao Bingwen. The usually imposing phoenix eyes were much softer today. He gave a slight nod to Xiao Bingwen and then continued to watch Bai Lian being photographed.
Xiao Bingwen tensed up, not daring to look around anymore.
He just sat next to Xu Nanjing and asked in a low voice, “Why are they all in Jiangjing?”
...
Xiao Bingwen was asking about Pu Xiaohan and her friends.
“They all got into schools in Jiangjing,” Xu Nanjing heard from Pu Xiaohan, who said she was accepted into Media University.
“How come they all study so well?” Xiao Bingwen was astonished.
The Xu Family had recently been busy with the old master’s birthday. Xiao Bingwen hadn’t had a break with all the recent collaborative cases. He was only able to take some time off today to help plan for Bai Lian’s birthday.
The two were still talking.
Jiang Fulai glanced at his phone beside them. Ji Shaojun texted that they had arrived.
He switched off his phone and opened the door to go out.
Xu Nanjing also stood up and said quietly, “It seems Alian’s grandfather has arrived.”
As soon as Jiang Fulai stepped out, Xiao Bingwen let out a sigh of relief and also stood up, looking toward the door of the private room, “Miss Bai’s grandfather, huh.”
**
It wasn’t long before the door to the private room opened again.
A group of people came in from outside.
Leading the way were two elderly men, one with a hand behind his back, the other carrying a smoking pipe, chatting together as they walked in.
Behind them followed the composed Ji Shaojun, as well as Shen Qing, who barely dared look around.
Jiang Fulai was speaking to the manager with his head down.
Xu Nanjing watched Ji Heng, then turned his eyes to Dean Jian, who seemed to be having a delightful conversation with Ji Heng. It took him a moment to recognize them.
He knew Dean Jian.
His mother had barely managed to set it up through Old Master Chen, and eventually, Bai Lian knew him personally.
