Bai Jing was expressionless.
“What kind of attitude is this? Who are you trying to show your ugly face to?”
Bai Guangcai blocked the door, as if he wouldn’t let her in if she didn’t give in. “Xiao Yue got into graduate school. Aren’t you going to congratulate her?!”
Bai Jing was helpless and said perfunctorily, “Congratulations.”
Bai Yue secretly rolled her eyes and grabbed Bai Guangcai’s arm. “Professor Dong was originally studying bone cancer, but half a month before the interview, he suddenly changed his focus to the treatment of lymphoma!”
“He must have read my information and knew about Bai Chen’s illness. He didn’t want to miss me, so he deliberately went against the school’s rules for me and changed the direction of his research at the last minute. Bai Jing, you’d better treat me better. I might be kind enough to talk to Professor Dong and help Bai Chen treat his illness.”
Bai Yue couldn’t stand Bai Jing’s attitude and tone. She attributed herself for Professor Dong’s series of actions.
She had displayed the blind confidence of humans to the extreme, and Bai Jing was impressed.
“Professor Dong’s result list is not out yet. Aren’t you a little too happy?”
Bai Jing lowered her head and caressed the petals of the orchid. She pushed aside the few people who were in her way and said.
“You’re just jealous!” Bai Yue yelled at her back, but she did not get any response!
Arguing with Bai Jing was always like punching cotton. It even felt stifling!
Qi Mei patted Bai Yue’s back gently and said for her, “Ignore her. We need to celebrate such a good thing. By hosting a few tables of guests, we can also take the opportunity to mend our relationship. We can’t delay the few businesses that the company has lost recently!”
She looked at Bai Guangcai and intentionally reminded him.
Bai Guangcai expressed his agreement and immediately contacted Mother Fu to invite her to come over tomorrow..
…
At the banquet, the Bai family adhered to the principle of extravagance and waste. They invited the Michelin chef to their home and personally cooked for them.
At the high-level banquet, Mother Fu, Fu Heng, and Bai Yue sat at the main table with faint smiles on their faces. Because of Professor Dong’s approval of the title of graduate student, Mother Fu’s gaze toward Bai Yue became kind. At the very least, she raised her status a little.
“Thank you all for coming. After Xiao Yue learns from Professor Dong, she will definitely cooperate with you in the development of medicine!”
“Professor Dong admires Xiao Yue very much and has nurtured her diligently. In the future, when the company needs Professor Dong’s authorization, you can also talk to us!”
Bai Guangcai held a glass of wine and casually made a promise.
Professor Dong was a noble person and was unwilling to associate academic research with money. Any group that offered him an olive branch and wanted to use his reputation to sell medicine, he refused without exception! Now, Bai Guangcai’s words had moved the big shots and they all started to praise Bai Yue.
Bai Jing looked coldly at the scheme behind their fake smiles and felt bored.
Mother Fu took advantage of the good atmosphere and also got up. She held Bai Yue’s hand and said gently, “Bai Yue, I have some good news for you. I’ll take this opportunity to announce some good news. You all know about the engagement between the Fu family and the Bai family. Fu Heng is going to marry Xiao Yue soon. Everyone will come for the wedding!”
“Sure!” The few of them looked at Bai Jing and said sarcastically to her face, “The previous engagement was really not worthy of Young Master Fu’s status.”
Bai Jing listened and lowered her head to solve the messy Rubik’s Cube. She felt bored.
“Excuse me, is this the Bai Family? There’s a gift for Miss Bai. Please check it out!”
At the entrance, a moving company’s van was parked in the courtyard. Countless jewelry and gems with the auction house logo were moved out. The guests widened their eyes and sighed at Bai Yue’s popularity. “As expected of Miss Bai! I’ve never seen the luster of this blue diamond before!”
“So many things. It’s worth a lot!”
Bai Yue’s eyes were filled with affection. Her cheeks were flushed as she looked at Fu Heng. She misunderstood that it was a surprise that he had secretly prepared. She held the pen in her hand and wanted to sign for it.
The moment she wrote down her name, the delivery man looked at her in confusion and asked, “Are you Miss Bai?”
“Yes, I’m Bai Yue.” She hugged the box of blue diamond necklaces, her heart beating wildly in excitement and joy.
“We’re not looking for Miss Bai Yue.”
In the next second, the delivery man took the items back and sized her up. He looked around at the guests in the living room and asked in a loud voice, “Excuse me, is Miss Bai Jing here?”
Bai Yue’s ears were ringing. She couldn’t believe the scene before her eyes.
This sudden situation caused the guests to explode like boiling water. Discussions broke out. Bai Jing stood up and looked at the pile of gifts indifferently…
“What’s going on? Is it for Bai Jing? Who would spend so much money to give her a gift? Today of all days? They must be deliberately slapping Bai Yue in the face!”
As the guests spoke in a low voice, Mother Fu’s face couldn’t hold it in any longer. She was livid with anger.
Bai Jing was confused, but she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. She saw a message from Logan and swiped it open…
