Chapter 204: 076, Jan Shen has already been very law-abiding!_1
His rank was closing in on Jiangjing. If he stepped forward to negotiate with the school, there was a very good chance they would vie for this spot. Of course, as the negotiator, Song Min would also assure the school of his rank in the next joint exam.
Song Min didn’t want to keep entangled with Bai Lian like this.
He knew that Bai Lian had always coveted this spot, so he threw her this irresistible bait directly.
Ji Heng was unaware of the matter regarding the Jade Pendant. When he received the call from Mrs. Song, she was afraid that mentioning the Jade Pendant to Ji Heng would give Bai Lian an excuse not to come, so she deliberately concealed it.
He thought he was here to meet Song Min today.
Only when Song Min spoke up did he realize the intention of the two people from the Song Family. Ji Heng, who was usually silent and reticent, suddenly stood up, burning with rage, “What do you mean by this?”
Bai Lian was still thinking about the Jade Pendant.
Seeing Ji Heng stand up, she hurriedly followed suit, patting his back and trying to soothe him, “Grandpa, don’t be angry…”
Mrs. Song across from them was also taken aback.
How could she have expected that what seemed to be an honest and simple old man from the eighteenth-tier Xiangcheng could burst into such a formidable aura when agitated?
Even stronger than many others she had met.
“Mr. Ji,” Mrs. Song hesitated inwardly but put away her contempt, “Please don’t be angry. This is a matter between the Song and Bai families, and Mr. Bai has already given his consent.”
“It would be one thing to give you anything else, but this Jade Pendant is an heirloom of the Song Family. We have come with enough sincerity to reclaim it, and I will agree to any conditions you put forth.” At this point, Mrs. Song felt somewhat of a headache, “Of course, except for the engagement. You know Alian has left the Bai Family, and our Song Min will certainly not stay in Beicheng in the future. They are simply not… not suitable for each other.”
“Of course, I hope you will cooperate while I am still able to speak to you reasonably, otherwise…”
Mrs. Song cut straight to the point with a smile.
She didn’t spell it out, but what she implied was that Bai Lian was simply not worthy of Song Min.
The gap between them was too wide.
She was able to speak kindly to the Ji Family now, but if she lost patience, the Song Family could enforce their will directly, and Bai Lian would get nothing.
Powerful families always stress equal social standing. If Bai Lian herself had a bit more merit, Mrs. Song might have reconsidered, but unfortunately, she did not.
Next to Mrs. Song, Song Min was watching Bai Lian with indifference, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
“You two,” Bai Lian, having calmed Ji Heng, turned her head. Her appearance was always deceiving, and now as she faced them, with suppressed eyebrows and a compelling presence, she smiled at them and said languidly, “If your brains are bad that’s fine, but make sure to keep yourselves healthy, otherwise, you might die too soon.”
Outside the window.
Director Chen shuddered at Bai Lian’s “you two figure out who I should ‘shark’ next” smile.
Perhaps, it wasn’t a meeting for a marriage arrangement??
After Bai Lian left the Bai Family, this was the first time Song Min had seen her, and her temperament and everything else were too different from the person he remembered.
Especially that sentence.
Song Min frowned at Bai Lian, annoyed by her sarcastic tone, “You…”
“What about me,” Bai Lian casually slipped a black pen into her pocket, walked out of her seat, let Ji Heng go out first, and lifted her pale, cold chin, “If I had that Jade Pendant, I would have surely burned it for you already, but since I don’t, there’s no chance for me to do so.”
After all, the peaceful and friendly modern era barely gave Miss Bai any chance to show her mettle, living within the law was already very compliant—
So what if she was a little less civil, a bit more insulting?
The two members of the Song Family hadn’t yet processed what she meant by “burn.”
“Oh right,” Bai Lian had Ji Heng leave first, casually tossing her phone in her hand, took a couple of steps, then stopped, and, slightly turning her head, she curled her lips slightly towards the two, “Your Jade Pendant is still at the Bai Family. With some luck, you might find it in the trash can of the room where Miss Bai used to live.”
“She,” Mrs. Song, born into a prestigious family with an even more distinguished maternal family from Jiangjing, had been taught noble etiquette since childhood, always held in high regard, never before had she been subjected to such insults.
Even the well-composed Mrs. Song trembled with anger at her lips.
“Mother, she’s always been like this,” Song Min, both unsurprised and unexpected, given Bai Lian’s reputation as a spoiled lady who mingled with ruffians daily, “First ask the Bai Family.”
