Chapter 601: 233 came to Beijing, gathered _3

He had been busy before, but back then it seemed he had nothing else to attend to besides being busy.

Bai Lian lowered her head, picked up a sugar-coated hawthorn on a stick that was beside her phone, and handed it to him.

Jiang Fulai looked down at the bright red sugar-coated hawthorn, hesitated for a moment, “For me?”

“Of course,” Bai Lian said casually, her elbow resting on her knee and her palm propping up her chin, “I finished the one with the bird.”

She had bought these with Pu Xiaohan at the food street next to Jiangyin at noon.

Jiang Fulai had never eaten these before; his slender fingers pinched the bottom of the sugar-coated hawthorn, “Do you like it?”

“It’s okay,” Bai Lian replied offhandedly.

Jiang Fulai glanced at her, but did not ask any more questions.

He stood up with the sugar-coated hawthorn, ready to go back to his room to take a shower, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“Shrimp, I guess.”

Bai Lian hadn’t really thought it through and just blurted out a response.

Jiang Fulai nodded, went back to his room; the sugar coating on the hawthorn was overly sweet, with a heavy saccharin taste, a gentleness hidden in the twilight.

Yang Lin was on a train early the next morning.

It was far from Xiangcheng to Jiangjing, and even a transfer flight took more than ten hours.

She was in for a two-day train ride.

Tang Ming and Ning Xiao were set to leave a day after her.

On the day of the Xu family patriarch’s birthday, from seven o’clock in the morning, gifts from the political and business world wouldn’t stop entering the Xu Family residence.

Vehicles from all directions headed towards the Xingjiang District.

When Bai Shaoqi left in a car from the Yin Family early in the morning, journeying from Yunxiao District to Chang’an District, she encountered several rare limited-edition cars along the way, as well as some special license plates.

She had never seen such a scene before.

“Auntie, what’s happening today?”

Today, without Song Min, only the Yin Family driver and Mrs. Song were in the car.

Mrs. Song had heard some details from Mr. Yin, she withdrew her gaze, “Today, it seems that there’s a celebration in Xingjiang District.”

As for which family was hosting, she didn’t say, and Mr. Yin wouldn’t discuss these things with her either, as the class gap was too wide.

A black business car brushed past theirs.

Bai Shaoqi couldn’t help but take another look; it was very similar to one she had seen in Beicheng with a Xiangcheng license plate, belonging to that person Bai Lian knew.

“What is it?” Mrs. Song asked her.

“It’s nothing,” Bai Shaoqi withdrew her gaze and shook her head.

How could that car appear in Jiangjing? Ordinary people buying a car was simple, but getting a Jiangjing license plate was not so easy.

She lowered her head to unlock her phone.

The simultaneous deployment of luxury cars also drew everyone’s attention. The last crackdown in Yunxiao District had stirred up a buzz that hadn’t yet subsided, and with these cars taking to the streets today, marketing accounts began speculating again.

The moment Bai Shaoqi opened her video app, there was a message from a marketing account—

[What’s with Jiangjing today? All luxury cars are out?]

The video was a compilation; seven or eight luxury cars flooded into an old street, and Bai Shaoqi saw the name of that street—

Talls Street.

Below, people were guessing; the top-liked comment read—

Today, I’m lost: [[Image] Don’t bother, today is an old gentleman’s grand birthday celebration, even the guests at the door are of the caliber of chief executive officers of Zhongxing]

The IP showed Jiangjing.

29 Lous Street.

After paying respects to the old patriarch, Xu Jueling came back to change into another set of clothes, preparing to greet the guests.

“She’s really not coming?” he asked as he changed into a long robe.

“Yes,” Gao Yan was also at a loss; dressed in a body-hugging cheongsam and holding a green jade tea cup, “I’ve told her three times already.”

Gao Yan thought for a moment and decided to give Bai Lian a call.

“Auntie?” Bai Lian was already at the train station by then.

She stood at the entrance with heavy foot traffic, waiting for Yang Lin.

Gao Yan’s voice was very gentle, “Today at home we’ve invited a chef from Kangyu Tower, whose forebears were imperial chefs in the palace, the snacks and dishes they make are really delicious. You can just come and eat something in my courtyard, you won’t see other people.”

“No, thank you,” Bai Lian declined, “I’m waiting for my classmate.”

“Your classmate is also welcome to come… Okay then, have a good time,” Gao Yan ended the call, exchanging a look with Xu Jueling; at least Gao Yan had met Bai Lian, whereas Xu Jueling hadn’t even seen her.

He wasn’t as familiar with Jiang Fulai as Gao Yan was, and didn’t dare to meet Bai Lian rashly.

Outside the Xu family gate.

The Mu Family’s car also stopped.

Mu Yining was dressed in smart attire, with a young man on her left and Ji Shaojun and Ren Wanxuan on her right.

The Xu family’s gatehouse was very tall, and the two stone lions outside were extremely imposing.

Two rows of black-clothed bodyguards stood on either side, their attentive demeanor leaving no doubt that they could pull a gun from their pockets at a moment’s notice.

The large space in front of the gate was filled with parked cars.

It was grand yet solemn.
