The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 687

Chapter 687: Meet at 273, out of the mountain _2

Gao Shu hurriedly set down her teacup, dusted off her sleeves, and stood up to look toward the door.

The door was pushed open by a pair of hands with distinct knuckles, and a houndstooth scarf was neatly draped over the arm—this was Jiang Fulai.

Gao Shu’s gaze fell behind him, where a girl in a red-embroidered vest stood, wearing an apricot-colored dress underneath, her eyes cast down.

Last week when she saw Bai Lian, she had been dressed in plain clothes, graceful and restrained.

Today’s red coat was bright and captivating.

It made Gao Shu pause slightly once again.

...

“Auntie,” Jiang Fulai said, as he closed the door of the private room, greeting Gao Shu politely.

Even this address of “Auntie” carried an extreme blandness.

Bai Lian also greeted Gao Shu with ease and without constraint.

Secretary Xue quietly moved aside, watching the young woman inconspicuously, and was quite surprised internally. The Gao Family was known for its beauties—Gao Si had married Jiang Sheng, which became a celebrated match in Jiangjing, followed by Gao Yan’s marriage to Xu Jueling.

In Jiangjing now, there were also the young ladies of the Ming Family whom Secretary Xue had seen, and indeed they were beautiful.

But having seen Miss Bai today, Secretary Xue felt that even Ming Zongyao would have to step back. Merely the temperament Miss Bai possessed was something the Ming Family could not match.

Others, even if it was Elder Chen seated beside Jiang Fulai, would be overshadowed by it.

Yet, Miss Bai remained calm and collected, with an effortless poise.

Jiang Fulai picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for both himself and Bai Lian; outside, the manager had started to serve dishes.

“Is the academic pressure at Jiang University very high? Last time I saw in the news that the probe successfully landed on Mars…” Gao Shu said to Bai Lian beside her. She had heard from Gao Yan that Bai Lian was academically inclined and might end up spending her future in the lab with Jiang Fulai.

Gao Shu studied art, but during the past two years, because of the Gao Family and Jiang Fulai, she had come to understand a bit as well.

Just last night, she asked the Gao Family for some scientific research materials to review, but to the ears of the experts, there were always discrepancies.

Bai Lian subtly steered the conversation away.

The conversation began with scientific research and eventually shifted to art.

“Mom,” Lou Jiu said, placing the slippers beside her without leaving, but instead, he said, “My teacher asked if he could see the script for ‘Blossoms on the Tree.’

The play had not yet premiered, and rehearsals were underway; even the theme song was not settled. Copies of the script for “Blossoms on the Tree” were only held by those involved internally.

Last time, to convince Dean Jian to compose the music, Gao Shu briefly shared the main plot with him.

“Your teacher wants to see the script for the play?” The script was not a secret, and Gao Shu couldn’t figure out why Dean Jian would want to see the script if he wasn’t interested in composing, but she didn’t refuse, “I will send it to you from the study.”

Jiangjing, Shuo Family.

Shuo Qingyu was an elder artist, and recently, two rising stars from the theatre had approached him; he was weighing the pros and cons.

He stepped out from the backseat of Jiu Yinghui’s car.

Jiu Yinghui exited the driver’s seat and looked at Shuo Qingyu with a smile, “Mr. Shuo, I heard your son’s asthma has been troubling him. I have an invitation card from an MTR doctor that I hope could be of some help to you.”

With that said, he handed a gilded business card to Shuo Qingyu.

Shuo Qingyu accepted it, looking at Jiu Yinghui, “Thank you, Dean Jiu.”
