Chapter 767: 302NO.9 Bai Jian, Azure Dragon Bar Incident_3
Dean Jian nodded at her and continued speaking to Bai Lian about Old Master Chen, “He really appreciates you.”
Bai Lian pressed the elevator button and, hearing this, merely offered a proper smile, “Then thank you.”
“Ding——”
The elevator arrived.
Bai Lian got in and politely bid farewell to Dean Jian.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Dean Jian could still see her radiant face. She had changed to a new hairpin today, a light purple jade one, her pair of black eyes like layers of mist, inscrutable.
Even when hearing about the Chen Family, a family as distinguished as a feast accompanied by the tolling of bells, she remained composed and unconcerned, and Dean Jian practically never saw any other expression on her.
He really had no idea what Bai Lian wanted.
Once the elevator doors had shut, Leng Shuhe finally dared to speak, “Teacher, did Miss Yan Lu come today?”
“She’s recording a song, what about it?” Dean Jian walked leisurely toward the recording studio, unable to help his old friend with the busy schedule.
“My friend wants to discuss a few cooperation matters with Miss Yan Lu,” Leng Shuhe followed Dean Jian, “Does she have any time, teacher?”
“You can ask her when she comes out,” Dean Jian replied casually.
Leng Shuhe murmured affirmatively, his gaze lingering curiously at the elevator entrance.

Wen Zhixia had learned to drive during the summer break.
She drove her car near Jiangyin, waiting for Bai Lian.
After notifying Ming Dongheng, Bai Lian looked for Wen Zhixia’s car.
When she arrived, Wen Zhixia was leaning against the car door, dressed in a black coat and wearing a pair of sneakers, looking cool as she lazily stood in the brisk sunshine, scrolling through social media.
“Damn, is she finally releasing a new song?”
Bai Lian happened to overhear this remark.
She approached quietly and handed a cup of hot milk tea she had just bought for Wen Zhixia.
“Why have you come to Jiangyin?” Wen Zhixia, who planned to take Bai Lian out for drinks, sipped the milk tea and got into the driver’s seat, heading with Bai Lian to the Azure Dragon Bar. freewebnovel.cσ๓
“Just to take a look,” Bai Lian buckled her seat belt.
Wen Zhixia nodded, glancing from the corner of her eye at the familiar black car behind them. It was Ming Dongheng’s car, trailing from a distance.
She withdrew her gaze from the rearview mirror, momentarily forgetting about Jiangyin.
She did ask Bai Lian how she knew Jiang Fulai the other day, but still had no clue about whom the other person was. Wen Zhixia’s roots in Jiangjing were shallow, and there was much she didn’t understand.
The Wen Family had mentioned Xu Sanshao multiple times, but she had never heard them mention the name “Jiang Fulai.”
Of course, Wen Zhixia was not foolish enough to question the old Madam Wen or the butler.
She wouldn’t reveal too much about Bai Lian’s matters.
For now…
When they go to the bar, they are always followed by a dedicated car, yet the Wen Family had never assigned a bodyguard to stay close and protect Wen Zhixia.
Wen Zhixia found this somewhat surprising.
At this time, the Azure Dragon Bar had just opened.
It was the same reserved booth as before. This time Wen Zhixia was much calmer than last time; she did not drink much and talked to Bai Lian about her impressive achievements at school.
She even mentioned Le Yuzhang, “He’s known Ming Zongyao for more than a decade, childhood sweethearts. I’ve met Miss Ming too, a very gentle and elegant lady, a notable figure in Jiang University’s financial circles, very popular among the socialites.”
This was also one of the reasons why Wen Zhixia was not well-received in certain circles.
But an arranged marriage concerns two families.
Le Yuzhang, who has always prioritized power, cut ties with the Ming Family very cleanly.

Seven in the evening.
A black sedan stopped outside the Azure Dragon Bar.
Ming Dongheng stood silently at the entrance, watching the noble figure alight from the driver’s seat, not daring to speak.
Jiang Fulai was dressed in a minimalist coat, looking up at the bar, his eyes always light, his presence dignified and distinguished even in such a place.
The Azure Dragon Bar was never a spot for ordinary consumer spending, frequented by the elite of Jiangjing.
