Chapter 801: 313 two people are not like cousins, test result!_2
âYouâre Ren Wanxuan?â In the teahouse, the old Mr. Chen put down his teacup, carefully observing Ren Wanxuan.
Although the old Mr. Chen was advanced in years, his gray hair was neatly combed back, and his gaze was piercing.
Faced with such a stare, Wanxuan couldnât help but feel somewhat less composed, but she remembered the advice of the Dong Family and didnât avoid his gaze, âYes.â
Stationery had already been arranged by someone nearby, and old Mr. Chen stood up, his hands clasped behind him, âI heard you write in the Liang style quite well. Give it a try.â
Wanxuan knew this might be her only chance, so she brought out her best state and wrote down two characters.
They were somewhat flamboyant but better than most people could write.
Old Mr. Chen stood by the desk, looking down at the characters, his expression unreadable. After a few exchanges with the Dong Family and Wanxuan, he had someone see them out.
They even gave gifts to Wanxuan and the others.
After the visitors had left, he gestured for someone to take Wanxuanâs characters, and turned to inquire from a person nearby, âXiao Chang, what do you think of this writing?â
Xiao Chang glanced over and replied. Having protected old Mr. Chen for more than a decade, he naturally had some connoisseurship, âNot as good as Miss Xu.â
Hardly comparable to Xu Yajun, let alone the one whose work appeared in the ink and wash seas.
It was said that these two were cousins, but it was hard to see any resemblance.
**
The next day.
Director Jian went fishing with Ji Heng.
The temperature in Jiangjing was rising. The ice had mostly melted, making it an opportune time for fishing. They brought Xu En and Director Chen along and once again returned with a full catch.
Passing by the Mu Family, Ji Heng stopped.
He carried two fish inside, intending to drop by Mu Xiangguangâs place. The floor butler took the fish from him, handing them to Xiaojie, âStew a fish soup for Young Master Mu Zhao tonight.â
âThe old patriarchâs health is getting worse,â the floor butler said to Ji Heng about Mu Xiangguangâs current state. âWhen you see him later, urge him to eat something. The young lady has looked for many doctors, to no avail.â
They walked towards the Buddha hall.
They encountered Ren Wanxuan on the way.
Wanxuan walked out with a Mu Clanâs uncle, aware of yesterdayâs events with the Dong Family taking her to the Chen Family. The uncle was now very friendly toward Wanxuan.
Seeing Ji Heng and the floor butler, Wanxuan and the Mu Clanâs uncle both stopped.
Wanxuan, seeing the two large fish in Xiaojieâs hands and the strong fishy smell, couldnât help taking a step back, âGrandfather.â
Ji Heng held a tobacco pipe in his hand and only nodded without speaking.
The floor butler politely greeted Wanxuan and the Mu Clanâs uncle, gesturing to the fish in Xiaojieâs hands, âUncle, would you like to take a fish home?â
âNo need,â the uncle glanced at the two fish in Xiaojieâs hands and the corner of his mouth involuntarily twitched. He was preoccupied with the dinner with Wanxuan later and did not discuss the fish with them.
Xiaojie knew what the uncle was thinking just by looking at his eyes.
Once upon a time, he had thought the same way.
Until one time he saw who were the ones fishing.
After Ji Heng entered the Buddha hall, the floor butler turned to Xiaojie, âDid you get a reply from the doctor at Xuan Kang?â
âThey generally donât make house calls,â Xiaojie shook his head.
But the old patriarch refused to step out of the Mu Familyâs door.
**
Outside, the uncle and Wanxuan got into a car, âWho did you arrange to meet this time?â
âItâs not really me,â Wanxuan seated herself in the back, pondering slightly, âitâs my aunt who arranged a meeting with a professor from Jiang University.â
The aunt she referred to was naturally Mu Youjun.
After the acknowledgment of ancestors and clan, Mu Youjun became somewhat cold towards Wanxuan. Nevertheless, being Ji Hengâs granddaughter and having met old Mr. Chen recently, hearing that the old gentleman had returned a gift had spurred Mu Youjun to reach out to her again.
Upon hearing Wanxuanâs words, the uncle nodded.
Although Bai Lian Ji Heng was previously acquainted with Xu En and that person from the Jiang Family, Bai Lian Ji Heng had not been active lately, and they had not seen Jiang Fulai since. Instead, it was Wanxuan who seemed to have had an epiphany and gradually started taking over Mu Family affairs.
She even made some achievements, to the point where Mu Youjun herself took the initiative to invite her.
Everyone in the Mu Family knew how proud Mu Youjun was; she normally disdained returning home.
The two arrived at a private restaurantâs dining room, where Mu Youjun and Gao Jiachen were already meeting with the professor from Jiang University.
âCome, Wanxuan,â seeing Wanxuan, Mu Youjun introduced her, âThis is Jiachen, your cousin, and this is Director Zhou, the associate dean of the Physics Department at Jiang UniversityâŠâ
Gao Jiachenâs gaze passed over Wanxuan indifferently, without speaking.
Wanxuanâs heart, however, skipped a beat. This was the Dr. Gao Jiachen, the same Dr. Gao whom the Ren Family had spent millions just to see once before.
