The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 591: 231 Gathering at Jiangjing, Major Shuffle_1

In Bai Lian’s room, she had just finished showering.

She changed into her lounge clothes and was now toweling her hair dry, not liking to use a hairdryer.

Xiaoqi’s call came in just then.

“Sis, have you come out?” Xiaoqi was still outside the hospital doors, looking up at the inpatient building with a cup of coffee in one hand, dressed in a clean and scholarly sportswear.

Mao Kun stood behind him, looking around.

“Yeah,” Bai Lian opened the window of the room, “Have you seen her?”

“She’s in a comatose state,” Xiaoqi had already asked the nurses, “She woke up for a bit in between, but her consciousness was still unclear. She will need another two days, but there’s no danger.”

Bai Lian leaned on the table by the window, gazing outside, “There’s a female police officer in the sub-bureau, Sun Fei.”

“I got it.” Xiaoqi hung up the phone and turned to leave.

“You got it? Got what?” Mao Kun followed him, “Didn’t Sis finish talking? Are we supposed to investigate Sun Fei on our own or…”

Bai Lian and Xiaoqi often left Mao Kun struggling to keep up with their train of thought.@@novelbin@@

“You go have a couple of drinks with the Rose Colored Clubhouse boss,” Xiaoqi sipped his coffee and tossed the empty cup into a nearby trash can, speaking gently.

The Rose Colored Clubhouse was the same place Bai Lian went to find Xu Zhiyue.

Mao Kun, who usually didn’t get involved in business matters, said, “Me?”

“Yeah,” Xiaoqi opened the back seat of the car, explaining patiently, “Don’t hold back, just answer whatever he asks.”

Mao Kun had spent some time in Jiangjing too. Xiaoqi was just a worker, but Mao Kun was genuinely in charge of the Azure Dragon Bar there.

As Wang Youfeng’s adopted son, he was currently still relied upon by Wang Youfeng.

As the number one fighter in the ring, he was not someone to be constrained—

It was no different than mingling with both the underworld and law-abiding society.

Shanhai Apartment.

Bai Lian looked at her phone while methodically toweling her hair dry.

She messaged Shun Yu: [Does Director Shu have time tomorrow?]

It was late, Shun Yu had just gotten home and hadn’t rested yet; receiving Bai Lian’s message surprised him.

Given how dangerous tonight’s events were, he wanted Bai Lian to rest for a few days, only to have her message him shortly after getting home.

Shun Yu put on his glasses and sent a message back to Bai Lian on his phone.

Principal Shi: [Tomorrow morning, go to the Chinese Department Building.]

After sending the message, Shun Yu remembered something and called the university office, instructing them to keep a close eye on the Yunxiao District case.

Having sent the message, Bai Lian’s hair was half-dry.

She put the towel down and walked outside.

In the living room, Pu Xiaohan, having lost appetite for her chips, stuffed them into Jiang He’s hands.

Jiang Fulai was on the balcony, having not seen Xu Nanjing around.

Bai Lian sat next to Pu Xiaohan and watched the variety show with her.

Yan Lu’s popularity in the industry had been top1 in recent months, with many of her edited clips on short video platforms, and many even dug out a long spear video from an episode when Pu Xiaohan was at a martial arts hall.

One segment of the long spear solo dance featured Yan Lu herself. Although Pu Xiaohan hadn’t shown her face, sharp-eyed fans recognized her just from a high zoom blurry backdrop, let alone a solo dance clip.

Pu Xiaohan’s video went viral again after half a year thanks to Yan Lu’s popularity surge.

This was one of the reasons for Pu Xiaohan’s rapid fan base growth in the last few months; the blogger “One Big Bowl at a Time” had become officially certified by the authorities as a “Cultural Heritage.”

On screen, Yan Lu talked about her recent hobby of studying Gomoku but always playing poorly, “I basically finish in less than a minute when playing with friends.”

She was the worst chess player among them all.

In the end, Yan Lu remarked, “When I play with them, I always doubt my own IQ.”

At that moment, the hosts and guests still showed leniency, saying “every trade has its master,” and the viewers comforted Yan Lu in the comments.

It wasn’t until the host brought out a chessboard that the first game against Yan Lu didn’t last a minute.

In the second game, even with Yan Lu intentionally giving away pieces, it still didn’t last a minute.

Host & Guests: “…”

Internet Comment: [Lu Jie, sometimes you really shouldn’t be too modest.]

Yan Lu: “…”

“Lu Jie’s new drama is about to wrap up,” Pu Xiaohan kept in touch with Sister Xin and asked Bai Lian while sitting cross-legged on the couch, “She’s here to record a song, isn’t she?”

With her half-dry hair draped down, Bai Lian’s downcast eyes were sharply outlined under the crystal lights of the hall, “No, Director Jian upgraded the equipment, she wanted to come to try it out.”

As they talked, on the balcony, Jiang Fulai put down his phone.
