The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

He had never seen an event ticket before.

Xu Wenyao looked down curiously; the ticket was five centimeters wide, more than ten centimeters long, overall in a light blue color, with an image of the Jiangjing Science and Technology Museum on the front.

He flipped it over, several lines were written on the back—

[Quantum and Information Era

Lecturer: Ma Tongfeng

Date: 1/17 in the afternoon at two

Location: Lecture Hall, Basement Level Two of Jiangjing Science and Technology Museum]

Quantum and Information Era…

Ma Tongfeng…

As Xu Wenyao read on, he suddenly realized what this was and a barely visible tremble went through his hand holding the light blue ticket, his fingertips turning a little pale.

A lecture by Academician Ma, to say that tickets were hard to come by was an understatement; any random person at the scene would be a big shot in the industry.

Xu En and Xu Shujie had also put some effort into it, but the tickets couldn’t be obtained by simply spending money.

Otherwise, Xu Shujie and the old lady Xu wouldn’t take turns persuading Xu Wenyao to apologize.

And now?

Bai Lian just gave him one like that?

“You… where did you get this?” He raised his head to look at Bai Lian, astounded.

Even for someone as calm as him, his mind was in a daze, he was too flustered to know where to start.

“Someone gave it to me,” Bai Lian was still wearing a Bluetooth earpiece, the wind was a bit strong outside, she put her hands in her pockets and said languidly, “Jiang Xiaoniao said you wanted to attend Academician Ma’s lecture.”

Xu Wenyao replied subconsciously, “Jiang Xiaoniao?”

“Ah,” Bai Lian said too fast and misspoke, she tilted her head, “… I mean Jiang He, the one you’ve met.”

Xu Wenyao knew Jiang He; they had gone to the museum together that day.

It’s just…

Looking at the unconcerned face of Bai Lian, so beautiful, Xu Wenyao really couldn’t fathom how she would nickname someone and call them so earnestly by that nickname.

“I should go now.” Bai Lian nodded slightly to Xu Wenyao.

There was no parking here, and Jiang Fulai was still waiting for her at that temporary parking spot; she couldn’t afford to go back too late.

“You…”

Xu Wenyao opened his mouth, and Bai Lian looked at him with raised eyebrows, somewhat puzzled, as if asking if there was anything else.

“No,” Xu Wenyao paused, “just asking since you’re at the school gate, why not go in and take a look?”

“We’ll see,” Bai Lian bid him an unhurried farewell and turned to find Jiang Fulai.

Behind her, Xu Wenyao stood still on the spot.

The event ticket in his hand felt like it weighed a thousand pounds. Having grown up in the Xu Family, Xu Wenyao always knew that the relationship between the Xu Family and everyone else was based on the value of interests.

The old lady Xu valued the Qi Family’s connections in the education sector, and how could the Qi Family overlook the Xu Family’s money?

Qi Shuyun was capricious, but the Qi Family was also using the event ticket to test his limit.

Living in such an environment, for the first time someone directly told him, “If you want to go, I’ll give it to you.”

She was the kind of person who was so relaxed, so easy to spark a liking for.

Xu Wenyao thought, if she were a general, many people would be willing to follow her into battle.

Zior Avenue is a main road with many students, and vehicles can’t stop here. Jiang Fulai circled around for a while before parking the car on the side of Cloud Avenue.

There are many schools here, and despite it being close to the New Year, many Jiangjing students still hadn’t gone home.

Passing students were all looking at Jiang Fulai’s car.

But seeing the tightly closed windows, no one dared to approach.

Bai Lian opened the passenger door and sat down, buckling her seatbelt unhurriedly.

“Bai…”

Bai Lian interrupted him: “I gave Xu Wenyao the ticket to Academician Ma’s lecture.”

Jiang Fulai, who could change subjects elegantly, with his eyebrows carrying a cool pride and cool-white fingers tapping on the steering wheel, spoke seriously, “We’ll go eat Jiangjing cuisine for lunch.”

OK.

The situation was temporarily back to normal.

Bai Lian turned the Bluetooth speaker volume down.

After lunch, they would still go to the Science and Technology Museum; the museum was located between Chang’an and Xingjiang Districts, and Jiang Fulai didn’t drive too far, stopping at a private restaurant on the edge of Chang’an District.

It was within a small alley, in an ancient building with few people around.

Jiang Fulai had ordered the dishes before coming, in a second-floor private room by the window, a small square table next to the window, with a bamboo curtain half rolled up behind it was a transparent glass pane, offering a view of the river below through the glass.

Occasionally a small boat would drift by.

Bai Lian settled in her seat, pulled up the curtain, and while talking to Jiang Fulai said, “I also saved one for Tang Ming.”

“Him?” Jiang Fulai poured her a glass of water with elegance and casually said, “He could benefit from the learning atmosphere.”

Bai Lian, lounging back, supported her chin and watched the view outside, “That’s what I thought too.”
