Bier is a popular figure at the research institute, and she often streams live on the W Network, so both new and old trainees know her.
When they saw her looking for Su Wen, the people around her slightly stepped back, making way for her.
Bier respectfully called out, "Aunt."
Su Wen stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, as if she just noticed Bier.
She seemed somewhat surprised, but her expression remained unchanged, merely nodding slightly, "You’re here too?"
The three words were simple, yet they felt like a bucket of cold water poured over Bier, waking her up instantly.
Bier’s expression stiffened, obviously hearing that the surrounding voices had quieted significantly.
She blushed, lowered her head, and her voice was also subdued, "Aunt, what brings you here today?"
"Just came to have a look." Su Wen said no more, pulling her cloak tighter, and nodded, "Carry on with your work, I won’t disturb you."
After speaking, she went straight into the research institute without looking at Bier again.
Bier remained stiff in place, feeling a rush of blood to her head, a momentary ringing in her ears.
The others around also sensed something was amiss, glanced at her a few times, and then dispersed.
Xu Jingshan was half ashamed, half surprised, "M-Madam Su Wen didn’t come to see Miss Bier?"
Are there others from the Leaangle Family at the institute besides Bier?
It seems there are a few Side Branch members, but none of them hold higher status than Bier.
Who else would be worth Su Wen’s personal visit?
"Shut your mouth." Bier’s mood was foul, her gaze darkening, "I’m going to find a mentor. This afternoon’s test flight ceremony is crucial, everything must be ready."
She should have known better than to step forward.
As a second-class citizen, how could Xu Jingshan possibly understand how fierce the infighting within the Leaangle Family is?
Bier left with a grim face.
Xu Jingshan, knowing he was in the wrong, slunk away without daring to speak again.
