Chapter 714: 283 This is their era (second update)_2

Ren Wanxuan was in a bad mood and didn’t speak to Shen Qing and the others.

When Shen Qing saw Dong Chuan, she said, “It’s just a sprained wrist, the doctor said the bones aren’t injured, and it should fully recover in about two weeks. Why don’t we let those two kids outside off the hook? It wasn’t intentional on their part.”

Her words naturally showed bias, as Xiaoqi and Mao Kun were friends of Bai Lian, and they even called her “Aunt”.

Compared to Ren Wanxuan’s indifferent attitude, Xiaoqi and the other looked much more pleasant, especially Xiaoqi.

“It’s just a sprained wrist?” After hearing Shen Qing’s words, Ren Wanxuan glanced at her with a remark that seemed both mocking and teasing.

She wanted to say something else but ended up turning her head away, no longer looking at Shen Qing, as if there was nothing left to say between them.

As soon as Ren Wanxuan said this, Shen Qing knew there was more to the story, and she immediately tugged at Ji Shaojun’s clothing, not daring to speak further.

Ji Shaojun interacted with Elder Dong quite gracefully.

The Dong family was indifferent to Mao Kun and the others, but they were somewhat polite to Ji Shaojun, “It’s not that I want to make a big deal out of it, but this issue is more than anyone can handle.”

The butler, standing by, was taken aback and wondered to himself what matter could be so significant.

Speaking of which, Elder Dong glanced at Xiaoqi and Mao Kun with a cold voice, “Haven’t your parents arrived yet?”

Xiaoqi looked at his phone leisurely, “They’re here.”

Elder Dong’s gaze grew heavy, and he sat back down in the chair beside the sickbed, while Dong Chuan handed him a cup of water.

It was at this moment that the half-closed door of the ward was pushed open, and the sound was particularly noticeable in the quiet room.

The one who pushed the door was Ming Dongheng, with his sharp brows and starry eyes, an imposing aura about him. Ming Dongheng surveyed the room’s occupants but did not enter, standing respectfully to the left of the door.

The room seemed to quiet down in a second, so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Elder Dong was looking down at his tea, with no intention of looking up at Xiaoqi’s so-called “parents.” But the next second, he seemed to sense the shift in the atmosphere and raised his head.

He saw a man and a woman entering.

The girl wore a simple white sweater, her features bright and beautiful, and the man beside her was straight as a rod, holding a black long cotton jacket, his eyebrows and eyes cold like jade. Upon their entrance, the temperature in the ward seemed to drop several degrees.

Elder Dong’s hand trembled, and hot water spilled onto his hand, but he appeared not to feel it and quickly stood up from the chair, “Mr. Jiang, what brings you here?”

He didn’t recognize Bai Lian, but he did recognize Jiang Fulai.

Jiang Fulai stood by Bai Lian’s side, gave Elder Dong a fleeting glance, and remained silent.

The butler was also surprised by the sudden appearance of Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai, quickly bowing respectfully and standing aside.

Next to them, Mao Kun removed the cigarette he had been chewing on from his mouth and touched the back of his head, “Sister Lian, Brother Jiang.”

Xiaoqi’s voice was slightly softer, “Sis.”

With their words, the Dong family realized that the “relatives” Xiaoqi and Mao Kun had been waiting for were Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai, and both Elder Dong and Dong Chuan were extremely surprised.

How could they possibly imagine that Ren Wanxuan’s “little thugs” were so familiar with Jiang Fulai?

Bai Lian held her phone, greeted Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing, then turned to Elder Dong, “We’ll take care of all the medical expenses. Don’t worry, we assure you that her hand won’t have any issues afterward.”

Elder Dong finally lost his previous arrogance, smiling wryly. He then explained the issue with the upcoming international event, “Actually, any injury would not be a big deal, but the international exchange will start next week. Wanxuan is representing the National Calligraphy Association as a youth in official public appearances. This is a very important and confidential matter, and we can’t find a replacement on short notice. We’re not trying to make a fuss, but if the matter is pursued from above, neither the Dong Family nor the Mu Family can bear it.”

This was an opportunity that the Dong Family had finally managed to secure.

They were supportive of Ren Wanxuan’s involvement with Dong Chuan, naturally wanting to promote her while also taking this opportunity to boost her fame, but before it could begin, this incident occurred.

To put it lightly, they were unsuccessful in handling matters.

To put it more seriously…

It damaged the official image.

In the room, the butler was startled by the elder Dong’s words, “Miss Ren is going to represent the youth?”

He realized the importance of the matter.

At the scene, only Bai Lian, Jiang Fulai, and Xiaoqi with a few others maintained their previous expressions, their faces showing no change, as if what the members of the Dong family were discussing was just an insignificant matter.

Bai Lian said politely, “Is this the only issue?”

Dong Chuan and the elder Dong hesitated, but considering Jiang Fulai’s presence, they did not dare to speak openly, only looking towards Jiang Fulai, “Mr. Jiang…”

The butler took a few steps forward and whispered to Bai Lian, “Miss Bai, this is an official exchange meeting…”

Bai Lian had heard about the Four Nations Exchange Meeting from Jian Zhe and Qiu Xuezheng a few days earlier.

In a couple of days, they were also supposed to represent the Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association at this grand event, and it so happened that Jian Zhe was also preparing for his postgraduate entrance exams.

Bai Lian listened inattentively, her fingers tapping on the phone screen sporadically, thoughtfully looking at Xiaoqi, ready to ask him later exactly what kind of paper it was.

“I know,” she grasped her phone after the butler finished speaking, and very politely asked, “I’ll take care of things with the Calligraphy Association. Is there anything else?”

Polite, restrained, yet assertive.

The elder Dong had not yet reacted, only shaking his head in confusion.

Bai Lian nodded her head, bid farewell to Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing, and then looked at Xiaoqi and Mao Kun, “Come out with me.”

Jiang Fulai had not said a word from beginning to end, just standing to one side. When Bai Lian walked out, he leisurely followed behind her.

Outside, Bai Lian took out her phone and sent a message to Qiu Xuezheng.

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Xuezheng in Xiangcheng was eating watermelon when he saw the message and paused for a moment.

Next to him, Jian Zhe put down his heavy book and looked up, “Mr. Qiu, what’s wrong?”

“Miss Bai…” Qiu Xuezheng said with a strange expression, “She’s going to represent the youth at the Four Nations Exchange Meeting. I need to prepare in advance.”

Jian Zhe: “…”

“What’s the issue with Miss Bai attending the exchange meeting?” asked a student from Xiangcheng No. 1 Middle School after Qiu Xuezheng left. “I remember Mr. Qiu always saying, if your writing had one-tenth of Miss Bai’s strength, it would be good. Miss Bai’s writing is very beautiful!”

“It’s not really a problem, it’s just…”

Last year, she won first place at the Orchid Pavilion Award by a wide margin, and because of her, the three first-prize awards were exceptionally reduced to only one. Mr. Qiu said her brushwork wasn’t even as steady back then as it is now…

Jian Zhe picked up his book again and shrugged, “Her writing alongside a group of her peers would be like, Miss Bai, at her current level, joining a group of… hmm, elementary students.”

The Liang style, the era of the Xiangcheng Calligraphy Association was now upon them.
