Chapter 563: Who exactly is Bai Lian 223?
The way these two people chatted with each other, it resembled more the sort of friendship that defies age gaps.
A group of people said their goodbyes at the door.
Gao Yan looked at Bai Lian and handed over a gift for their first eting, “At first, I thought you didn’t vibe with Director Jian.”
Little did she know, Bai Lian was so familiar with Director Jian.
Director Jian was aware of who Gao Yan and Xu Nanjing were and knew they were both very friendly towards Bai Lian, which made his attitude much warr.
He began to explain, “I’ve been looking for her for several days, and she kept saying she was very busy, needing to read. She even said this afternoon that she was studying hard in the library, but tonight, here she is at your place, Mrs. Gao. I must thank Mrs. Gao because otherwise, she might have continued reading until the start of term.”
As he said this, Director Jian glanced at Bai Lian.
He wanted to say more, but the sight of the tall and handso Jiang Fulai beside Bai Lian, his light eyes sweeping over them, made Director Jian gloomily board the Xu Family car that ca to pick him up.
He bid farewell to them.
Jiang Fulai also took out car keys and left with Bai Lian.
Once everyone had left,
Uncle Lin stared blankly towards Gao Yan: “Madam, did Director Jian just say… he’s been searching for Miss Bai for several days now?”
Bai Lian had been brushing him off?
Director Jian was always distant when speaking with Gao Yan. He wasn’t like those from the noble families; he represented the traditional music school and also served as the face of dostic traditional music internationally.
Chen Lao and others like him held him in the utmost respect. Not to ntion Director Jian’s students—who wouldn’t dare speak his na lightly outside of school.
Yet Director Jian’s attitude toward Bai Lian was beyond belief.
It was truly baffling; no one in Beijing had ever heard of Bai Lian before.
Who exactly was Bai Lian? She was close enough to Director Jian to instill fear in the people from Jiangyin.
Gao Yan was also confused, “And you said Director Jian isn’t lacking students.”
Uncle Lin: “…”
Director Jian’s communication with Bai Lian was completely as equals.
Gao Yan looked down at her own small folding fan, rembering how Bai Lian had looked at it several tis, and instructed Uncle Lin: “Custom-make a folding fan, with a white jade fra.”
Her folding fan was made of dark jade, but she felt that Bai Lian suited the flawless purity of white jade.
“Mom,” Xu Nanjing stood by the roadside with one hand in his pocket, still unable to figure it out, “Does Alian play the guzheng really well? But I’ve never heard of her.”
Gao Yan glanced at him irritably, slightly disdainful, “What use are you?”
She got into the car, slamd the door shut, and then ordered the driver to start the engine.
Xu Nanjing was left standing there, opening his mouth to look at Uncle Lin.
Uncle Lin frowned at him too, “Young Master, you don’t seem to care much about Miss Bai.”
The title “Young Master” carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Xu Nanjing: “…”
Alright, alright, he was the clown of the entire al then.

On this side,
Outside the gates of Jiangyin, Madam Song and President Yin stood by Bai Shaoqi’s side, Bai Shaoqi was talking with a middle-aged man.
This was a performance-level teacher, Teacher Ning, introduced to Bai Shaoqi by Principal Luo.
President Yin also took the ti to co over and chat with Teacher Ning.
As they were talking, a car pulled up to the entrance, its black body bearing a red flag on the left side.
Spotting the license plate, President Yin recognized it as one from the Xingjiang District. He imdiately stood up straight, looking intently in that direction.
This plate was a rare sight in Chang’an District. Many people at the school gates instinctively looked over.
The driver got out from the driver’s seat and opened the door to the rear seat.
It was Director Jian who erged from the car.
Seeing it was Director Jian, Teacher Ning quickly stepped forward to greet him, “Director Jian, you’ve returned.”
“Yes.” Director Jian seed in a good mood and gave a slight nod to Teacher Ning.
After thanking the driver, he headed towards the school.
Once people walked away, Teacher Ning retracted his gaze. He looked at Bai Shaoqi, “To win so many awards at such a young age is quite impressive. Tomorrow, you can co to the practice room to study with the other students.”
“Thank you, Teacher,” Bai Shaoqi returned her gaze and thanked him.
After speaking with Bai Shaoqi, Teacher Ning greeted everyone and quickened his pace to catch up with Director Jian.
Bai Shaoqi watched Director Jian’s retreating back and then glanced at the gate tower of Jiangyin.
Recalling the car she had just seen, she sensed that President Yin and Teacher Ning held it in great reverence, “Uncle Yin, the car that just brought back Director Jian seed extraordinary.”
“Of course,” President Yin was still looking in the direction the car had gone, “it’s just one of those few prominent families, Director Jian…”
Which families?
Bai Shaoqi’s heart stirred, rembering that the Yin Family only lived on the fringes of Jiangjing, a marginalized corporation.
Looking up again, President Yin did not continue.
