The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 679: Jiang Family’s unique ruler, the invitation from President Jian_2

Last time he mentioned that he only had one relative, which was his aunt.

Bai Lian “hmm”ed, still waiting for what he’d say next, but Jiang Fulai didn’t continue speaking. He just gave Bai Lian a conclusion, “Just letting you know, everyone else doesn’t matter.”

Young Master Jiang, the unique ruler of the Jiang Family, never used to take other people into consideration in his schedule, mentioning them only to change the subject.

After all, even the current second-in-command, Jiang Xijue, hadn’t met Bai Lian in person yet.

The two of them walked all the way to Shanhai Apartment.

...

The street lights weren’t on, and there were many people outside at this hour. A few recognized Bai Lian, but because of the intimidating man by her side, they didn’t dare to strike up a conversation with her—it would have taken courage to even glance his way.

The two made their way back to 303, where Ning Xiao and Tang Ming had already returned and were looking at Zhang Shize’s papers.

Pu Xiaohan was down in 103.

Bai Lian went to 103 to get the fish soup Shen Qing had left for them. Jiang Fulai pushed open the door of the study, set down Bai Lian’s laptop, and helped her print out the documents. The printer buzzed away, and he felt oddly at peace, as though time had stood still, while looking at the door.

103.

By the time Bai Lian came down, Director Lance and Chief Chen were playing mahjong with Ji Heng in the lobby downstairs.

Xu En and Ji Shaojun stood behind Lance, advising him on how to play mahjong.

This group of people was smoking. Although the glass door of the courtyard was open, the scent of smoke was still heavy.

Shen Qing brought out a bowl of soup for Bai Lian and urged her to go up quickly.

Director Lance put down his cigarette. He was rarely this leisurely, and when he saw Bai Lian, he nodded, “The day after tomorrow at six in the evening, I’ll have Old Hu come to pick you up.”

He was talking about the music exchange event.

Bai Lian, who was already standing at the door, heard him and made an “OK” gesture in response.

Pu Xiaohan, who had been asking Xu En questions, saw Bai Lian coming back and went upstairs with her.

After the two went up, Xu En finally had the chance to chat with Ji Shaojun. “I heard that Chairman Mu is going to help you and Mu Lan with a ceremonial return to the Clan?”

Ji Mulan was still recovering; she had bled a lot, and her body was not in good shape. The Mu Family had yet to inform Ji Mulan of the plans, but based on Xu En’s and Ji Shaojun’s understanding of her, she would definitely agree to hold the ceremony.

Speaking of which, Xu En was surprised to find out that Ji Mulan was a member of the Mu Family.

Although the Mu Family had fallen on hard times, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, and their centuries of family heritage were something to be envied, a lineage almost comparable to the direct line of the Xu Family.

A family of true noble standing.

“Play the two of bamboos,” Ji Shaojun stood behind Lance and directed him to play the two of bamboos; then he responded to Xu En, “Our household registration has all been moved there, and Alian’s is still with my dad; she’s not moving it. When will you contact my cousin and move Mu Lan’s registration too?”

Bai Lian’s registration was with Ji Heng’s lonely household registration.

Old Mrs. Xu and Mu Yining were both very envious, but neither had dared to make a move.

As for Ji Mulan, everyone present knew her well; she never concealed her own self-interest.

That household registration was probably something nobody would want to move, except for Ji Mulan.

“Is there a set time?” Xu En, upon hearing Ji Shaojun’s words, was also full of wonder—who would’ve thought that the Ji Family from Xiangcheng would turn out to be descendants of the Mu Family from Jiangjing?

The news was bound to cause excitement in Jiangjing. Xu En was pondering this when he began to wonder about the Bai Family from Beicheng and what they might think of this revelation.

Ji Shaojun was unhurried in his reply, “End of the month.”

Originally set for the beginning of the month, because of Ji Mulan’s situation, the Mu Family had postponed the ceremony to give Ji Mulan time to recover.

Jiang Fulai had just finished printing when Bai Lian came up from downstairs.

Pu Xiaohan was excitedly discussing the “Little Grape” incident with Tang Ming.

Jiang Fulai took an extra look at Pu Xiaohan.

Pu Xiaohan also had a good grasp on her stance toward Young Master Jiang, and she began to explain the “Little Grape” fund incident to Jiang Fulai in a lower voice.

She didn’t study finance and had just been inquiring about private funds from Xu En downstairs.

“Little Grape?” Jiang Fulai leaned back elegantly against the sofa, his distinct knuckles resting on the armrest, his posture relaxed and graceful as he watched Bai Lian sitting at the living room table, picking up a pen to write down answers for Zhang Shize.

He stood upright and made his way downstairs with poise and elegance.

Private funds all have thresholds.

Once the Little Grape fund was launched, some big players adopted a wait-and-see attitude while others were already looking for ways to get involved.

The Yin Family was no exception. On a weekend, Song Min went back to the Yin Family to discuss the matter with Mr. Yin.

Meanwhile, Bai Shaoqi and Mrs. Song were discussing the music exchange event.
