Chapter 753: 298 shocks Zhixia; what has she done in Xiangcheng? (First update)_1 Chapter 753: 298 shocks Zhixia; what has she done in Xiangcheng? (First update)_1 The weekend break ant the morning traffic was light.
Xu Family’s butler had been waiting outside early in the morning. At half-past eight, he saw a black car approaching from the side and imdiately notified Gao Yan that Bai Lian had arrived. He then ordered soone to open the side gate beside Guangliang’s main entrance, allowing the car to enter.
The car drove all the way to the front courtyard and stopped.
Today, hearing that Bai Lian and Gao Shu would visit the Xu Family, both Xu Nanjing and Xu Jueling had not left ho, and Gao Shu had not yet arrived at this point.
Upon hearing from the butler that Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai had arrived, Gao Yan put down the small hexagonal Ruyi lantern she was holding.
Seeing Gao Yan head outside, Xu Jueling and Xu Nanjing, who were sitting in the front hall, also put down their cups and stood up to walk towards the Chuihua Gate.
The three of them had just reached the Chuihua Gate when the butler led Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai through the arch bridge to co in.
Xu Jueling stood in the center, instantly noticing Jiang Fulai wearing a black over-the-knee coat. His gaze shifted, and his eyes fell on the girl walking to his left.
Today, Bai Lian wore a lotus-green coat, a shade of deep green that made her fair skin stand out. Her coat was unbuttoned, revealing a white knitted sweater and cream fleece trousers underneath.
A loosely tied cream scarf around her neck had partially slipped off her shoulder, blown by the wind.
With her coat on, her hair was casually tied back with a silk ribbon, and she wore a white fleece hat. Standing there, she radiated calmness and composure, exuding an elegance similar to the restraint of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain with deep blue patterns circling cloud-like layers above.
Upon seeing Xu Jueling and Gao Yan, she smiled softly and greeted them gracefully.
Xu Jueling had long heard about Bai Lian countless tis from Gao Yan and Xu Nanjing. There was no need to ntion Xu Nanjing, but Gao Yan’s fondness for Bai Lian was almost overflowing.
Unable to have more children due to health reasons, Gao Yan greatly yearned for a daughter.
Xu Jinyi was the only young miss of her generation in the Xu Family and had been doted on from a young age. Even her conflicts with Xu Jueming did not affect Xu Jueling and Gao Yan’s partiality towards her.
However, after Bai Lian appeared, the frequently ntioned “Jinyi” in Gao Yan’s conversations was replaced by Lianlian.
Xu Jueling had long wished to et this girl ntioned so often by Xu Nanjing and Gao Yan.
Now, seeing her for the first ti, he understood why Gao Yan liked her so much.
In terms of appearance and deanor, even Xu Jinyi, who had been carefully raised by the Xu Family, seed to fall short in comparison to the girl before him.
This kind of upbringing did not seem characteristic of soone from a modest background.
“Uncle Xu, Aunt Gao,” Jiang Fulai entered alongside her. He was accustod to sitting alongside the Xu Family’s elder, yet he still showed utmost respect towards Xu Jueling and his companion.
All the proper formalities were observed.
Ming Dongheng walked inside, hands carrying a gift box.
“Shushu hasn’t arrived yet,” Gao Yan stepped forward, took Bai Lian’s hand, and led her towards the front hall, “Aren’t you expecting a classmate too? Is it Xiaohan? Let know when she arrives, and I’ll have Lan’s mother go to pick her up.”
“It’s not her,” Bai Lian followed Gao Yan inside, “It’s a friend who grew up with from childhood, nad Zhixia.”
Soone she grew up with from childhood?
Gao Yan took note of this descriptor.

At the Wen Family.
Wen Zhixia dressed well, but she couldn’t hide her true self from the old lady, who learned that today she was indeed going to admire the plum blossoms. Surprised, the old lady selected for her an outfit that was both dignified and generous.
She personally saw her off into the car.
In the car, the driver steered towards the exit and respectfully asked, “Miss Zhixia, are you heading to Hushan Garden?”
In Jiangjing’s winter, if one were to ntion the most famous attraction, it would be the plum grove in Shin District’s Hushan Garden, where vast snow plums welcod tens of millions of visitors each year.
It was also a renowned tourist spot in Jiangjing.
Wen Zhixia sat in the backseat, her long legs crossed casually, as she swiped on her phone, confirming the address Bai Lian sent once again: “29 Talls Street.”
Upon hearing the words “Talls Street,” the driver felt sothing was amiss.
As a born and bred Jiangjing resident and the driver for the Wen Family, he naturally knew which area Talls Street was in; most of Talls Street comprised the political district.
Besides Jiayu Lake, there weren’t many scenic gardens nearby, and Jiayu Lake itself was private property.
The driver’s hand rested on the steering wheel.
He glanced in the rearview mirror, “Miss, are you sure it’s Talls Street?”
Wen Zhixia opened a ga, the sound of choosing a hero emanating from her phone. Without lifting her head, she simply told him, “Drive.”
Clearly, she was already growing impatient with his repeated questioning.
The driver dared not say more.
Vehicle filled with doubt, he drove towards Talls Street. He was aware of Wen Zhixia’s identity; she was the only daughter of the old lady’s youngest son and had been specifically assigned the old butler to teach her in Beicheng.
Since her arrival in Jiangjing half a year ago, she had mostly been at school or accompanying uncle from the second branch to et business clients.
