Chapter 703: 278 is also (the second watch)_2 commonly used by her, Bai Xiangjun.
This showcased their calligraphy heritage to the outside world, representing not just the Calligraphy Association.
They had to be cautious, then even more cautious.

The Mu Family.
When Ren Wanxuan and Dong Chuan returned, the four red lanterns outside the gatehouse had already been lighted up.
In the dim light, they could see Ji Shaojun talking to someone.
The butler stood behind Ji Shaojun.
As they approached, both Ren Wanxuan and Dong Chuan greeted Ji Shaojun very politely and respectfully. Ji Shaojun, who was always indifferent to them, just nodded slightly and then continued to talk to the boy.
His expression was clearly much warmer when he spoke with the boy.
Dong Chuan subconsciously looked at the person opposite, who appeared young, dressed only in a black fleece hoodie, exuding a gentle and easygoing temperament, like an artist who could sketch anywhere with a drawing board in hand.
The temperament was very distinct.
Unexpectedly, it matched well with Ji Shaojun, and considering that Ren Wanxuan and Ji Shaojun’s relationship had always been average, Dong Chuan felt that this young man seemed more like Ji Shaojun’s nephew.
“Who is that?” he asked Ren Wanxuan.
Ren Wanxuan glanced indifferently at Xiaoqi; Ji Shaojun’s kindness towards Xiaoqi made her uneasy. He treated an outsider better than his own niece. “A thug from Purest Street.”
Someone who used to hang out with Bai Lian.
She naturally didn’t have a good impression of Xiaoqi, and now it was even heavier.
“Is that so?” Dong Chuan withdrew his gaze thoughtfully. The temperament didn’t seem like that of a thug.
Outside the gatehouse.
Under the gentle light, Xiaoqi smiled very politely, “Uncle Ji, please feel free to use it. If it breaks, there’s more where it came from. It’s also fine for holding flowers. It was originally intended for my sister to hold flowers, but Mr. Ming had already brought her a vase, so our boss didn’t send it over.”
The vase was so precious that the butler mentioned it to Ji Shaojun, who then called Ning Xiao.
Xiaoqi personally came to explain.
Upon hearing it was initially intended for Bai Lian, Ji Shaojun was somewhat doubtful. “Alright, Xiaoqi, would you like to stay for dinner?”
“Thank you, but I need to get back to oversee the place,” replied Xiaoqi graciously as he bade farewell to Ji Shaojun.
He got in his car and left.
As Ji Shaojun watched Xiaoqi leave, the butler behind him spoke softly, “You seem to like Miss Bai’s friend a lot.”
“I always feel a sense of familiarity with him,” Ji Shaojun replied.

In the car, Xiaoqi sent a message to Bai Lian, clarifying the situation for her.
Shanhai Apartment.
Bai Lian had just gotten home. While replying to Xiaoqi, she opened the sandalwood box on her desk.
Inside was a small black seal, feeling warm, smooth, and delicate to the touch.
Black as lacquer, oily as fat.
An exquisite ink jade dragon turtle seal.
She picked up the seal, examined it against the light of the study, then left for 103.
In 103, Jiang Fulai had already taken off his coat and stood before a table in the living room, backlit, his features deep, his hands clasped in front of his chest, observing a design for new clothing that Ji Heng was drawing for Lance.
Next to him, Jiang He sat at a small table drawing. He had attended a drawing class all day and was now working on his homework assignment from the teacher.
Ji Heng was engrossed in drawing, and Jiang Fulai was the first to notice Bai Lian’s arrival.
He made room for Bai Lian so she could watch Ji Heng’s design drawings.
