Chapter 699: 277 The relatives who flew onto the branches, The Great God Files (First Update)_1
Gao Jiachen observed the atmosphere of the entire hall.
He glanced at Jiang Fulai in surprise but didn’t say much, just asked them to sit down first.
Earlier, Ji Heng had spoken to the butler, asking him to arrange a separate table for them.
But Ji Heng was of a higher seniority, and the Mu Family cared about these things, so the butler placed their table to the left of Ji Shaojun’s, side by side, at a distance where they could speak to the adjacent table just by turning around.
Jiang Fulai greeted Ji Shaojun, his gaze then falling onto the others at the dining table, his black windbreaker accentuating the aloofness of his eyes and brow.
The dean and the president of the federation as well as various major business partners began to avert their gazes.
Shen Qing had breathed a sigh of relief when Ji Shaojun had arrived earlier.
Now that Bai Lian had arrived, Shen Qing relaxed even more, while Tang Ming chatted cheerfully about the Spotted Goose with her. Their table was the only one in the entire quiet hall where the atmosphere was relaxed.
Ji Heng and Jiang Fulai sat next to Shen Qing and Bai Lian one after another.
Shen Qing was still talking with Bai Lian, “It’s all thanks to Mu Zhao.”
She introduced Bai Lian to Mu Zhao.

Bai Lian thanked Mu Zhao, “Thank you.”
“This, this is what I should do,” he replied nervously. His surprise at seeing Bai Lian was even greater than his surprise at seeing Jiang Fulai.
Mu Zhao was a freshman at Jiang University, where by now virtually no new student hadn’t heard of “Bai Lian.”
Among the four people in his dormitory, the most discussed topics were Bai Lian and Liang Wuyu, especially Bai Lian, one of whom even used a video screenshot as their phone’s wallpaper.
Students also have their idols, particularly those from the affiliated schools.
From junior high to high school, each of them had been overwhelmingly pressured by Liang Wuyu, only for a dark horse to suddenly emerge during the college entrance examination, surpassing Liang Wuyu’s score to become first.
At the start of school, the Tongfeng class exam results were widely discussed in the forums, with three students from Xiangcheng sparking the buzz.
In a pure science exam, one student scored higher than Liang Wuyu, and two scored nearly as well, what more was there to say?
This class had already been dubbed “Celebrity World” by netizens.
Mu Zhao was just one among many students who looked up to this group, never expecting one of them to be Shen Qing, another niece of Mu Yining, whom he had heard about from his own relative.
He was quite excited in the moment.
With Bai Lian seated at the next table, Mu Yining came over and asked Mu Zhao to return to his own seat.
Mu Zhao nodded and before leaving, asked Shen Qing if he could add Bai Lian on WeChat.
“WeChat?” Shen Qing took out her phone and recommended Bai Lian’s contact card to Mu Zhao, asking him to keep it off the internet and not pass it to others.
“I know, thank you,” Mu Zhao said, taking his phone back to his table.

As Bai Lian and the others took their seats, fireworks were lit outside, and the silent hall slowly began to buzz with quiet conversation.
There weren’t many people moving around the venue.
A distant uncle from the Mu Clan sat on edge at Mu Youjun’s side, constantly asking in a low voice, “Clan leader, when do we go over?”
Just moments ago, when they greeted Mu Youjun and Dong Chuan, it was casual, but now the thought of returning seemed forced.
And now, returning to engage in conversation with Ji Shaojun’s table seemed questionable.
The Clan leader was at a loss as well; if they were already regretting their presence after the arrival of the bureau chief and the dean, their regret peaked internally with the arrival of Jiang Fulai.
Mu Youjun stood still for a good while; Jiang Fulai just glanced over coolly from afar, making her feel a chill rising from the soles of her feet, “Butler Gao…”
Seeing him at the Mu Family residence was bewildering to Mu Youjun, and she looked dazedly at Butler Gao.
Butler Gao, having seen Jiang Fulai more times than Mu Youjun, also realized, “It’s Young Master Jiang.”
Mu Youjun sat down absentmindedly, no longer concerned about Dong Chuan or the Clan leader, tightly clutching her handkerchief, “Why would he be at the Mu Family?”
Jiang Fulai, along with Gao Jiachen and Gao Yi, were figures they hardly ever saw, except for a personal meeting during Elder Xu’s birthday. He had not been seen in any public venue, but now he had appeared at the Clan initiation ceremony for Ji Shaojun and the others.
And he called Ji Shaojun “Uncle Ji.”
Chen Yongkun also arrived at the Mu Family at this time, everything strange yet traceable…
When it was time to eat, Mu Youjun picked up the wine glass beside her and went to find Ji Heng.
As she left, Ren Wanxuan finally caught her breath. She looked towards Dong Chuan, becoming aware that Jiang Fulai’s identity might not be ordinary, and looked at Dong Chuan in astonishment.
Dong Chuan remained silent, unwilling to elaborate, and only asked her to pick up her glass and head over to Ji Shaojun’s table.
