Chapter 381: 147 Ji Heng has status, scholars from Ma Institute come to deliver mechanisms (second watch)_3

“Who?” Madam Xu’s heart skipped a beat.

Mr. Qi beside her also looked toward Bai Lian.

Bai Lian glanced at her, “An old man who enjoys shopping and morning runs.”

Shopping, old man.

This obviously didn’t match Director Chen, so Madam Xu chuckled and fell silent.

“You all go back first,” Bai Lian crossed another word and looked up at Xu En, signaling them to leave first.

Xu Wenyao stood aside, having taken off his down jacket, he was only wearing a gray sweatshirt, and said to Xu En, “Dad, you go back first, I’ll be fine here.”

On the second day of his marriage, Xu En still had a pile of things to take care of.

Xu En didn’t refuse, “Alright, then Alian, I’ll head back first. After the New Year, we’ll come to Xiangcheng to see you.”

Madam Xu had thought she might see Director Chen, and since she wasn’t there, she had no desire to stay.

Xu En looked at Mr. Qi and asked, “Shall we go together?”

“Let’s go,” Mr. Qi was also disappointed and then looked at Qi Shuyun, “Shuyun, you stay with Wenyao…”

“Dad, I’ll go with you,” Qi Shuyun still remembered that Xu Wenyao hadn’t apologized to her, she put on her sunglasses, “I have a paper that I haven’t finished yet.”

Mr. Qi smiled at Xu En, “You know I spoil my only daughter. She recently has been writing a paper for Dr. Zuo and is helping with one of Dr. Zuo’s projects. Now she has to hurry to his lab earlier.”

Xu En knew that when Qi Family speaks, they do so with purpose, “Dr. Zuo?”

“That’s Dean Huang’s student,” Mr. Qi glanced at Xu Wenyao lightly, then smiled, “Not many people know, but Dean Huang was mentored by Academician Ma…”

His eyes swept over Xu Wenyao and then rested on Bai Lian.

Bai Lian was looking down, listening to the words, her expression was as casual as ever, her eyelashes drooping low. She probably didn’t hear or didn’t recognize Dean Huang.

However…

Seeing Xu Wenyao’s somewhat surprised look, Mr. Qi finally felt relieved.

After the Chen Family incident came out, he had been thinking about how to mend ties with the Xu Family. Now, at last, there was a turn for the better. Even though he hadn’t seen Mr. Chen, it was a relief.

“No wonder…” Upon hearing Mr. Qi’s words, Madam Xu smiled and patted Qi Shuyun’s hand, “I knew Shuyun was capable. Wenyao, how about you accompany Shuyun to the lab to take a look?”

“Right,” Mr. Qi took the opportunity to look at Xu Wenyao, “You go with Shuyun. You’re both young.”

Qi Shuyun also looked toward Xu Wenyao.

Xu Wenyao was speaking to Bai Lian, only tilting his head slightly. His eyebrows and eyes were warm and his tone polite, “It’s Alian’s first visit. We still have a lot of things to discuss.”

He tactfully declined.

No one had ever seen him lose his temper.

Xu En put his hands in his overcoat pockets, unclear about Xu Wenyao’s thoughts towards Qi Shuyun, “Shuyun, why don’t you stay with Wenyao, and wait for Alian?”

Bai Lian would leave at six, and the person sending her off wouldn’t be that late.

“Forget it. The lab waits for no one.” Qi Shuyun pursed her lips. She gave Xu Wenyao a glance and then left with pursed lips.

Mr. Qi didn’t say anything else either. Since they couldn’t wait for Mr. Chen, and even Madam Xu was leaving, he didn’t want Qi Shuyun to stay and entertain the guests.

The entire party left.

After everyone had gone.

“These are our organized notes,” Xu Wenyao talked with Bai Lian about the Boyuan Base for a while, then brought out three notebooks, “One of them is Liang Wuyu’s, and belongs to Yueyue…”

He didn’t know how to say the word “stolen,” and mumbled it a bit.

“Take a good look when you go back.” Xu Wenyao handed the notebooks to Bai Lian, having heard from Xu Zhiyue that Bai Lian wasn’t very good at comprehensive science.

Ah—

Bai Lian took the three notebooks, her nerves twitching severely.

Especially seeing that one of them was a physics notebook, what if Jiang Fulai saw it…?

“The person sending you off hasn’t arrived yet?” Xu Wenyao looked down at the time, 5:40 now, “Will you make it on time?”

Bai Lian looked toward the entrance.

A tall, somewhat aloof figure approached, wearing a peak cap and walking at an unhurried pace. He was cold and noble, and the people around him instantly turned into faint shadows that accentuated his presence.

Behind him followed an old man who seemed quite spry for shopping.

Alarm bells went off in Bai Lian’s mind. She stuffed the notebooks into Xu Wenyao’s hands—

“Hold onto these for a moment.”
