Chapter 744: 295 lab’s golden thigh!_3
Their top boss, Wang Youfeng.
Not to mention Xiaowu, even Mao Kun dreaded him. Xu Chun quickly set aside what she was busy with and asked Hen Zhiwei to check on Xu Wenyao’s status.
Xu Wenyao looked at her and asked, “Do you desperately need money?”
“I have to make money for the boss,” Xu Chun picked up her cotton coat and glanced back at her, “but when it comes to money, who doesn’t like it?”
She left.
Xu Wenyao needed to remove his IV early, as he was considered Bai Lian’s brother. Hen Zhiwei had heard about him from Xiaowu and was also very polite towards Xu Wenyao.
He drove back to the Xu Family mansion after removing the IV.
He played with Xu Siqi in the living room for a while.
He had just finished his graduate examinations and needed to start preparing the application materials for the follow-up interviews in a couple of days.
Old Madam Xu spoke with him for a while, her fingers rolling a string of Buddha beads in her hand. She had lately been thriving and was more spirited than ever, “I had your aunt arrange a dinner with a few professors. Have you decided whose research team you want to join?”
“I have some thoughts,” Xu Wenyao said, leaning on a nearby table and slowly twirling a rattle-drum, his demeanor relaxed.
“If you had gone with the Qi Family at that time…” Old Madam Xu began, but didn’t finish, recalling something, “Your father is dining with an old classmate tonight, you’ve heard of his daughter, Xu Yajun.”
Now, the Xu Family was gaining more influence in Yunxiao District, making Old Madam Xu stand tall and confident in the presence of the Qi Family.
Qi Shuyun was no longer her only choice; her sights began to shift towards other eligible young women.
Xu Wenyao never argued with Old Madam Xu about such matters, and went upstairs to tidy up in the study.
“Wenyao,” Old Madam Xu watched his retreating figure as he ascended the stairs, “are you still entangled with that bar girl?”
Xu Wenyao didn’t respond to her.
Old Madam Xu gazed at his departing back, her expression profound.
“Old Madam,” the butler tucked Xu Siqi in with a blanket, “The young master always has his own thoughts; you needn’t worry too much about him.”
“Butler Xu,” the old lady lowered her gaze, her hands idly twisting the Buddha beads, she spoke slowly, “Arrange a meeting with that woman for me.”

29 Talls Street.
The Xu Family, dinner time.
Old Master Xu put down his chopsticks and accepted the cup of green tea handed to him by the servant, looking at Xu Jueming, “I heard there was some unrest in Jiangjing today?”
Xu Jueming glanced at Xu Jueling and Xu Nanjing at the dining table and replied without much emotion, “Jiangjing has been quite lively recently, even Old Chen has been stirred up. He’s stepped out the Chen Family’s doors four times in just a few days.”
They discussed the latest happenings in Jiangjing.
“What about the Mu Family? I heard that their old man has made an appearance,” Old Master Xu said slowly.
Xu Jueming didn’t pay much attention, “What can they accomplish anyway?”
After dinner, Xu Jinyi walked alongside Xu Jueming, inquiring whether they should court favor with the Mu Family, “I heard the Mu Family has ties to the Jiang Family.”
But such rumors, no one dares to spread casually.
“How could that be, you see even the Gao Family isn’t taking it to heart. What connection could the Mu Family have with them?” Xu Jueming thought it was a smokescreen, “Mu Qiong is gone, the Mu Family poses no threat now.”
With that time, he’d rather strengthen communications with the Ming Family and the Leng Family.
In the meantime.
Xu Jueling and the others returned to the courtyard, and he then asked Xu Nanjing, “What’s with your uncle being so secretive?”
Xu Nanjing was acquainted with Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue.
He was more in the loop than his father.
“Today, it seems someone arrived in Jiangjing,” Xu Nanjing knew only so much, “I heard from Sister Beixuan that the visitor is a high-ranking member of the Dawson Family.”
The Dawson Family, the behind-the-scenes owners of the Azure Dragon Bar and proprietors of the auction house.
Who exactly had come, the Chen Family hadn’t found out yet.
