Chapter 565: Who really is Bai Lian 223?_4

“`

Indifferently pulling out a book, she then gently pried a man’s hand from his face with its tip.

She lowered her eyes, her movements deliberate and composed, with a hint of nonchalance.

The man had been pressing hard against his face, but the book seemed to weigh a ton, easily moving aside his hand and revealing his somewhat swollen face and astonished eyes.

Chen Hong did not recognize Xun Chun.

Bai Lian glanced at the man briefly, then stood up and bowed her head to lightly blow the dust from the book that had touched the man.

Then she slightly tilted her head and looked towards Xu Wenyao, asking unhurriedly with eyes dark as ink, “Who is he?”

Xun Chun and Xiaowu both looked at Xu Wenyao in surprise.

Xu Wenyao’s expression was cold; he looked down at the man and quickly recognized him, “Du Qingyu, Qi Shuyun’s cousin.”

Bai Lian knew who Qi Shuyun was.

Having heard Xu Wenyao’s words, she first glanced at Xun Chun and Xu Wenyao.

Then she looked down indifferently at Du Qingyu, and with Xiaowu and the others present and Xun Chun unharmed, Bai Lian put the book back and said casually, “Okay, I won’t interfere then. You handle it.”

Xu Wenyao’s face wore an ugly expression as he looked at Du Qingyu on the ground. He knew Bai Lian was giving him face, “Don’t worry.”

Bai Lian left with Xun Chun and Xiaowu.

After apologizing to Chen Hong, Xu Wenyao drove back to the Xu Family alone.

**

In Mingfeng District, at the Xu Family home.

Xu Zhiyue had returned from the hotel near Jiangjing University only in the afternoon; the elder Mrs. Xu had invited only the Qi Family over for a meal.

Both families intended to mend their relationship.

However, the atmosphere in the hall was very serious at that moment.

Xu Wenyao looked at Mr. Qi with neither servility nor overbearingness, “Du Qingyu stalked them first, and the police found evidence of his tracking.”

The elder Mrs. Xu quickly stood up with the help of her cane, interrupting Xu Wenyao, “Wenyao, what are you talking about? We’re all family here; it’s all just a misunderstanding.”

With that, she signaled Xu Wenyao with her eyes.

But Xu Wenyao remained unmoved.

Mr. Qi put down his phone. Wearing glasses and looking the scholar, he always had a hint of disdain when he looked at the Xu family, “In that case, elder madam, I think there’s no need for our families to associate any further.”

Behind him, Qi Shuyun also pursed her lips as she looked at Xu Wenyao, her eyes full of disappointment, “My mom just wanted to talk to that bar girl, and we haven’t even made an issue out of them hitting Qingyu. Xu Wenyao, you really have changed.”

Xu Wenyao looked up calmly, “You broke the law first.”

This time, he didn’t show the slightest consideration for familial feelings.

Qi Shuyun pursed her lips, “Fine, fine, Xu Wenyao, just don’t regret this.”

She turned around decisively and walked away.

Mr. Qi watched his daughter leave and then gave Xu Wenyao a final glance, “That barmaid is a friend of Bai Lian? You’re willing to break ties with our Qi Family over them?”

Hearing the name Bai Lian, Ji Mulan, who had been marginalized, felt her face darken and she looked up uneasily. Bai Lian indeed had a lot of unsavory friends, especially back in Beicheng.

Xu Wenyao frowned, “You’re a learned man, Alian’s friend isn’t some barmaid.”

Mr. Qi looked at him coldly, but this time he said nothing and left.

“Mr. Qi, Shuyun!” The elder lady came to her senses and chased after them to explain.

But the Qi Family left without listening to her, driving away directly.

The elder Mrs. Xu returned, looking a decade older. She turned to Xu Wenyao, “Do you realize the opportunity our Xu Family has lost due to your decision? Shuyun was about to become a student of Dr. Zuo, and furthermore, she attended Miss Liu’s gathering yesterday. For that woman from who knows where…”

“That’s a friend of Alian,” Xu Wenyao said, looking at the elder Mrs. Xu.

“What sort of friends does she keep?” With the title of top-scoring student in the college entrance exams, that was just a name. In the elder Mrs. Xu’s view, it did not carry the same weight as the importance of the third young Mr. Xu and Miss Liu, “Do you realize the kind of opportunity our Xu Family has missed because of your decision? Go kneel in the back and tomorrow you will accompany me to the Qi Family’s home!”

No matter how smart Bai Lian was, she was only known for her college entrance exam results, and it was uncertain when Director Chen would return to Jiangjing. She could be crushed by anyone at any time.

With that, the elder Mrs. Xu’s gaze swept over Ji Mulan.

Xu En stood up, looking at Xu Wenyao, “Go upstairs and check on Zhiyue.”

After Xu Wenyao left, Xu En bowed his head to the elder lady, “Mom, stay at home these next few days, and don’t leave.”

In the past six months, Xu En’s say in the Xu Family affairs had far surpassed the elder lady’s.

Even she could not influence his decisions anymore.

Having said that, he left with Ji Mulan.

Xu’s assistant followed a step behind Xu En. He had been to Backter Street with Bai Lian, and seeing the elder Mrs. Xu like this, he hesitated, “Elder lady.”

The elder Mrs. Xu looked up coldly, clutching her Buddha Beads.

“You should be grateful,” the assistant looked at her and spoke softly, “Today it was the young master who dealt with this. If it had been Miss Bai…”

He trailed off, lowering his eyes respectfully as he bid farewell to the elder Mrs. Xu, and did not continue further.

Then he left and followed Xu En out.

The elder Mrs. Xu was taken aback. The assistant was a smart man, valued by Xu En, and he wouldn’t speak without reason, “Butler Xu, what does the assistant mean by that?”
