Chapter 559: 222 Mysterious Bar, bringing Dean Jian to meet Alian_3

Someone was renovating inside, and it seemed that as soon as she came out, the workers inside began the “bang and clatter” of demolishing walls.

She couldn’t hear the noise at home, but once she stepped outside, construction started both above and below her floor.

Bai Lian walked towards the staircase and took a longer look at two other apartments.

She bowed her head to send a message to Xiaoqi and then headed for the entrance of the residential area. Due to the convenient transportation, she hadn’t even reached the bus stop when a silver car pulled up beside her.

It was Xu Wenyao in the driver’s seat, his brows slightly cool, “Get in, where to?”

“Where are you going?” Bai Lian didn’t answer but asked first.

“The company.”

It was on the way, both in Yunxiao District. Bai Lian opened the back door, “Take me to the Xu Family building.”

“What are you doing in Yunxiao District?” There was no traffic jam at this time, and as Xu Wenyao drove onto the main road, he glanced in the rearview mirror.

“Meeting someone.” Bai Lian lowered the car window, her arm casually resting on it.

She looked down at her phone.

It was from Dean Jian—

[Where on earth are you?]

Bai Jian: [In the library, studying hard]

Bai Lian replied deliberately, without a hint of blush or heartbeat.

Dean Jian knew that Bai Lian had always loved studying and even got into Jiangjing University. Seeing her reply, he didn’t say anything—

[Remember to check out the composition I sent you]

Bai Jian: [Acknowledged]

They soon arrived under the Xu Family building.

Several people were standing under the Xu Family building.

At a glance, Xu Family’s old lady was there with Qi Shuyun, and also the Xu Family butler and Ji Mulan. Xu Wenyao’s fingertips paused on the steering wheel. He didn’t get out of the car but only reminded Bai Lian to call him if something came up.

When Qi Shuyun saw Xu Wenyao not getting out of the car, she lowered her head, “Grandma Xu, Miss Liu has another engagement, so we won’t disturb you.”

Her gaze swept past Ji Mulan without greeting.

And then she got straight into her fiery red sports car.

It was only after the sports car had driven away that Xu Wenyao turned off the engine and got out of the car with Bai Lian.

“Miss Liu?” In the midst of her hurry, Grandma Xu barely nodded towards Bai Lian before anxiously inquiring with the butler.

The butler paused for a moment, explaining, “The Miss Liu that Miss Qi mentioned should be a student of Dean Jian, Dean Jiangyin. A master of the guzheng… It seems she is quite close to Old Master Chen.”

This information was naturally not something the butler knew on his own; it had been relayed to him by the Qi Family.

“What?” Grandma Xu looked astounded at the butler, involuntarily clutching her Buddha Beads tighter.

Ji Mulan did not recognize any Miss Liu, nor did she know who the “Old Master Chen” they mentioned was.

But hearing Dean Jian’s name, she guessed that this person must also be on a par with the Xu Family “main branch,” a world beyond her imagination.

She had once taken photos for Bai Lian during Dean Jian’s apprenticeship ceremony.

With that in mind, she turned her attention to Bai Lian.

But Bai Lian wasn’t looking at her; she simply greeted Xu Wenyao, “I’ll be going now.”

Only then did Grandma Xu watch Bai Lian’s retreating figure, pausing for a moment, “Where is she going?”

“To see someone,” Xu Wenyao said indifferently.

Chief Chen was still in Xiangcheng and hadn’t returned. Bai Lian knew someone in Yunxiao District?

Grandma Xu was surprised but didn’t ask further, only turning to Xu Wenyao, “Wenyao, I need to talk to you about that woman Shuyun mentioned.”

At the very end of Cooldy Street.

This was the “Bar Street.”

As Jiangjing’s most economically bustling area, Bar Street was extravagantly captivating, and even though it was just past four o’clock, both sides of the street were already lined with parked cars.

At the end of the street stood a castle-style facade.

It covered a huge area, with a small path of fifty meters from the entrance to the front gate, each side crowded with all kinds of luxury cars.

Bai Lian stood at the entrance, lifting her head to see the four big characters above—

Azure Dragon Bar.

On the third floor of the bar, Mr. Xiaoqi was lounging in a baseball uniform complete with a cap, casually sitting in a chair, one leg propped up as he intently looked at his phone.

Upon receiving a message, he quickly got up and headed downstairs.

Wang Youfeng thought highly of him, and when he came to Jiangjing to develop, Wang gave him management rights of the bar.

Having grown up in an orphanage, Mr. Xiaoqi had rubbed elbows with society after leaving, developing a tough personality. With his natural talent and despite being underage, the old hands here dared not underestimate him.

However, he didn’t concern himself much with bar matters. Although there were many rumors about his life-or-death experiences with Wang Youfeng, few had actually met him.

On the first floor, bar waiters and the manager respectfully stepped aside to make way upon seeing him, “Mr. Xiaoqi.”

Mr. Xiaoqi nodded politely in their direction, his eyes catching sight of Bai Lian as she approached the entrance.
