Chapter 351: 135 Face Slap, Second Work by Bai Lian (Second Update)_1

Shen Qing opened her mouth, but before she had a chance to answer, Qi Shuyun, who had just finished her phone call nearby, came over, “Wenyao, my dad said, Ma Institute…”

She glanced at Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun.

Shen Qing was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a somewhat irregular velvet hat, a terrible aesthetic, Qi Shuyun hooked her arm with Xu Wenyao’s, “And these two are…”

Xu Wenyao paused slightly but remained as gentle as ever on his face as he introduced Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun to Qi Shuyun.

Upon hearing that the two were relatives of Ji Mulan, Qi Shuyun dismissively withdrew her gaze.

“You give me the lunch box and Alian’s address, then I can drop it off at her school on my way back,” said Xu Wenyao to the two.

Hearing that Xu Wenyao would deliver the meal to Ji Mulan’s daughter,

Qi Shuyun glanced at them slightly, her tone still gentle, “But Wenyao, my dad is waiting for us at the university, and you really wanted to attend Academician Ma’s lecture, didn’t you.”

“It won’t delay us…” Xu Wenyao tried to control his tone, reaching out to take the lunch box from Shen Qing’s hand.

He was stopped by Ji Shaojun.

“It’s alright, Wenyao,” Ji Shaojun patted his shoulder, unbothered and smiling, “You take care of your business, we were just planning to go shopping anyway. Whenever you’re free, take us to Jiangjing University for a visit.”

Xu Wenyao watched Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun leave.

“How much time do you have,” Qi Shuyun turned to Xu Wenyao, “you live in the library and don’t even have time to date with me, but you still deliver food for her? Is she that precious? Can’t she pick it up herself? Have you forgotten you also wanted to attend Academician Ma’s lecture?”

Xu Wenyao pressed his brow, the usually gentle expression on his face now showed signs of fatigue: “It’s different, she is studying too, and they are guests. If there’s a next time, I hope you can respect my wishes.”

“Studying, can her studies be more important than yours?” Qi Shuyun pressed the elevator button, “Isn’t Uncle Xu still planning to buy her a spot at an international school?”

Coming from an educational background in the Qi Family and with Xu En having sought their assistance in Xiangcheng, Qi Shuyun naturally knew all about it.

How audacious.

To expect them to deliver meals?

Qi Shuyun thought the Ji Family was really audacious.

Even her dad wouldn’t dare to make her run errands for others.

On the road.

Ji Shaojun also reminded Shen Qing, “You should keep some distance. Does Wenyao look like someone who should be delivering takeout to us?”

“I didn’t say anything, he was just on the way,” Shen Qing quietly said.

Ji Shaojun got along well with the Xu Family, and since Xu Wenyao was respectful and polite, she felt just as comfortable with him as she did with her own family. Not only Xu Wenyao, but she also frequently had Bai Lian run errands for her.

Seeing that Xu Wenyao was also going to Chang’an District, she mentioned it casually. If it were Xiaojiang, who knows how happy he would have been.

Ji Shaojun knew that Xu En’s attitude had clouded Shen Qing’s judgment, but Xu En did not represent the entire Xu Family, “Treat them like how you used to treat the Ren Family, with just a third of that politeness, and don’t be so informal.”

Shen Qing brought plenty of soup.

Ning Xiao and Tang Ming didn’t finish drinking theirs, so they shared a bowl with each member of the group.

Only Bai Lian didn’t have any.

After drinking the soup, the group members were energized as if injected with new vigor and finished the academic report that afternoon.

At eight in the evening, classroom.

Bai Shaoqi still brought snacks for everyone, glanced casually at the people in the classroom, “Bai Lian isn’t here?”

“She had something to do and went out,” Song Min responded calmly.

This reaction made Bai Shaoqi feel odd, Song Min had surprisingly not commented about Bai Lian, and everyone else seemed to be getting along happily.

“You really are tolerant,” Bai Shaoqi remarked.

“She has already played her part,” Song Min said indifferently, having no issue with Bai Lian after she brought the model yesterday, “Writing the report doesn’t require her, so it’s okay if she’s not there for what comes after.”

Bai Shaoqi wanted to say something more.

But just then, Wang Xu sent the full report to the group, “This is the report written by Bai sister and me, everyone take a look.”

Bai Shaoqi inwardly smiled at the words; it was probably time to drop the “Bai sister” since she wasn’t even there.

Beside her, Song Min nonchalantly opened the file and started reading from the title downwards.

He hadn’t written a thesis before, but he had written lab reports.

He had no great expectations for the academic report, thinking that, aside from experimental data, the most interesting part would probably be the mathematical model.

Until he read through the introduction.

What had been a largely indifferent expression turned serious, and he sat up straighter as he continued to read.

The academic report was filled with professional jargon from the introduction onwards, and even Song Min occasionally had to stop to look up the meaning of the terms used.
