Chapter 826: Punished for 3 years, does not agree to be included in the family genealogy!_3 Chapter 826: Punished for 3 years, does not agree to be included in the family genealogy!_3 Seeing Jiang Fulai enter, he stared dumbfounded for a moment before continuing to play with his building blocks like a little gentleman.

Jiang Fulai naturally couldn’t care less about him.

He knew Bai Lian was in the study and went straight in.

Bai Lian stood before the half-open window, her cold white fingers resting on the window sill, in her usual languid pose, watching the street lamps outside and the nearly invisible stars above.

She seemed somewhat entranced.

Jiang Fulai walked over slowly without asking about Xiaoqi, and just stood beside her, “Did you visit Academician Ma yesterday?”

“Hm?” Bai Lian came back to reality, tilting her head slightly.

She was undisturbed today in room 303 and was dressed more casually, in a black silk satin loungewear with a subtle pattern embroidered on it; the topmost button was unfastened, revealing a glimpse of her slender collarbone.

“Academician Ma called this morning,” Jiang Fulai looked at her and spoke slowly, “his Xiao’e was missing two screws this morning.”

Xiao’e was a robot that Academician Ma had created a long time ago.

Jiang Fulai had previously updated Xiao’e’s functions.

Miss Bai let out an “Ah” before continuing to gaze outside nonchalantly, her eyes and brows lit beautifully by the light, “He must have remembered incorrectly.”

Jiang Fulai observed her lethargic gaze, his hand resting behind her, as a cool, gentle kiss landed on her.

“You were just opening the window to let the smoke out,” he said.

Bai Lian paused for a moment, “Nonsense.”

The next day.

Bai Lian was going to meet Wang Youfeng.

They had arranged to meet at half-past eight in the morning.

At eight o’clock, Bai Lian went to room 302 and placed the two unscrewed screws on his desk.

When she left, she ran into Ming Dongheng and a woman.

The woman was dressed in a close-fitted outfit, with a gun holster strapped to her left knee, her hair all pulled back neatly and efficiently.

Chen Beixuan also noticed the girl coming out of room 302.

In Jiangjing’s current temperature around ten degrees, the girl wore a sea-sky blue mandarin collar top embroidered with two circles of white and pink complex patterns on the collar and cuffs, with beige frog buttons neatly fastened to the top.

Her hair was long and half-tied, with a green jade hairpin slantingly inserted.

Her sparse brows and eyes, her casual glance, exuded a very gentle temperament.

Chen Beixuan, having seen Bai Lian’s photo on Jiang University’s forum before, felt all the more dazed when she saw her in person, as if facing a destiny carved into her genes.

It reminded her of the portrait of the lady in white hanging in the Chen Family’s ancestral hall.

Ming Dongheng raised his hand to ring the bell at room 302, but he lowered it immediately upon seeing Bai Lian, “Miss Bai.”

“Good morning,” Bai Lian glanced over Chen Beixuan and nodded at Ming Dongheng.

Ming Dongheng noted her attire, “Are you heading out?”

“Yes, Xiaowu is coming to pick me up,” Bai Lian replied and then went downstairs.

Once she was gone, Chen Beixuan snapped back to reality, “So that was the legendary Miss Bai…”

Mu Family.

Mu Zhendong hadn’t slept all night and went straight to the study to find Mu Yining.

Ji Shaojun was also in Mu Yining’s study, discussing Ren Wanxuan; she had previously been included in the Mu Family’s genealogy, but now that she was not Ji Shaorong’s biological daughter, he naturally had to inform the Mu Family.

Mu Yining was aware of the verdict, but after hearing Tang Ming’s words that day, she could guess that Ren Wanxuan’s side might lose the case.

Yet, it hadn’t occurred to her that Ren Wanxuan wasn’t the biological daughter of the Ren Family.

No wonder Bai Lian was so angry at the time.

Mu Yining also knew the reason Ren Wanxuan chose to crash into Xiaoqi and was quite surprised by it.

After some reflection, she concluded that Ren Wanxuan’s name definitely needed to be removed from the family tree.

It was clear to see the relationship between Bai Lian and Mao Xiaoqi, and now that their identities had been revealed, keeping Ren Wanxuan’s name there would be inappropriate, causing Bai Lian and the others discomfort.

As soon as Mu Zhendong entered, he heard Mu Yining’s words.

“We haven’t received this batch of goods yet, and revealing her to not be a Mu at this time, what good does that do us?” He had previously disagreed with Bai Lian suing Ren Wanxuan, and now he disagreed even more with them revealing Ren Wanxuan’s identity, “You know how important Ren Wanxuan is to our research, it’s such a good opportunity, and we can’t just watch as the last three research facilities are taken back?”

Mu Zhendong had heard about Xiaoqi’s identity from Xia Yun before.

An orphan who dropped out of school in the eighth grade, looking at the entire Mu Family, excluding Mu Qiong, there really hadn’t been anyone like Xiaoqi.

Compared to him, Ren Wanxuan, with her excellent grades and mastery of various talents, was more fit to be put in the spotlight.

They were accustomed to weighing pros and cons, excessively rational in every aspect.

Mu Yining didn’t speak up right away.

Seeing she seemed to be considering something, Mu Zhendong fixed his gaze on her and made the final decision: “Ren Wanxuan is still in the Mu Family genealogy now and won’t be removed, at least until our current partnership is secured. As for that Mao Xiaoqi, I disagree with including him in the genealogy.”

Choosing between Ren Wanxuan and that Xiaoqi was very easy for him.
