Chapter 751: Jiangjing’s top circle, taking Wen Zhixia to the Xu Family to admire the plum blossoms!_3

Bai Lian could only hand over the gift to Jiang Fulai, to pass it on for her.

Both were busy, and although they were in the same city of Jiangjing, their opportunities to meet towards the year-end were even fewer than in Xiangcheng.

Bai Lian picked up the elegant sandalwood box and sat down, the box was a bit heavy, she didn’t open it immediately, but talked with Jiang Fulai about the recent laboratory work.

Although Zhou Wenqing’s lab was busy, the atmosphere was very good.

Jiang Fulai, watching her speak energetically about the lab, didn’t ask her any further questions about the lab and Ning Xiao.

“I’m planning to bring a silk scarf embroidered by my grandfather for Aunt Gao,” Bai Lian said while playing with the sandalwood box, telling Jiang Fulai about Gao Yan inviting her to enjoy the plum blossoms.

A few days ago, Gao Yan had invited Bai Lian and Gao Shu to the Xu Family’s plum blossom admiring event.

Gao Shu was busy with the transfer of responsibilities at the drama theater, and Bai Lian had been in the lab all along, so the plum viewing had not been scheduled to date.

“That’ll work,” Jiang Fulai had heard about this from Bai Lian long ago, “I’ve had Ming Dongheng prepare other items for you, you can just take them with you when the time comes.”

In the span of nearly a year, Xu Nanjing and Gao Yan had given Bai Lian quite a few gifts.

And that included the home tutor that Gao Yan had tried, but failed, to gift her.

Bai Lian’s fingertips tapped on the sandalwood box.

Her phone lit up a few times—it was a message from her racing buddy.

Racing buddy: [Engagement on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month]

Racing buddy: [Racing tonight]

Since coming to Jiangjing, Bai Lian seldom went racing, and with the recent lab work, even less so.

However, she was somewhat aware of the affairs of the Wen Family.

Next to her, Jiang Fulai kept talking to her, and without Bai Lian deliberately hiding her phone screen from him, he naturally saw the message flashed up, his face as aloof as ever, his long lashes only slightly drooped, “The race tracks in Jiangjing are very slick right now.”

His slender fingertips closed the laptop on the table in front of them, ready to have a serious conversation with her.

“I know,” Bai Lian said nonchalantly, tapping on her phone, “I’ll bring a friend along, I’m not sure if Aunt Gao would mind.”

Jiang Fulai raised an eyebrow, slowly saying, “If you refrain from dangerous outdoor activities, I could move her plum garden into Shanhai Apartment without a problem.”

Bai Lian sent a somewhat regretful message to her racing buddy—

There was just one issue—Wen Zhixia was very rebellious, which gave Mrs. Wen quite a headache.

Wen Zhiwei was Wen Zhixia’s cousin, and before Wen Zhixia’s return, she had been the candidate favored by the Yue Family.

Hearing this, Wen Zhiwei calmly said, “Grandmother, Shuhe only sent me one invitation. I’ll ask her later if I can bring Zhixia along. You know, those missies have been familiar with each other since they were children. The ones invited this time are all acquaintances; I’m afraid…”

Mrs. Wen rested her hand on the table, shook her head after listening, “Never mind then, you go.”

After Wen Zhiwei left.

Wen Zhixia finally relaxed a bit, leaning back and somewhat inelegantly shot a message back to Bai Lian—

[Dangerous? That doesn’t sound like you.]

[Who are you, and get the hell out of the idiot dog’s body!]

The old lady glanced at her and sighed, “Zhixia, you’ve been back for so long, have you thought about making more friends?”

“Grandma, I don’t necessarily have to go to their banquets. I have friends,” Wen Zhixia straightened up, always putting on a good front for her grandmother. She casually waved her phone, “Look, she even invited me to admire the plum blossoms.”

She shook her phone quickly, not giving her grandmother a chance to see the explosive nickname she had saved, or else her grandmother would most likely have her kneel in the ancestral hall.
