Chapter 199: Chapter 199

Rong Xian’an didn’t expect to see Bai Su beside Rong Zhi, hesitated before greeting him.

Bai Su nodded, looked at Rong Fangjun sitting in the main seat with a gentle smile, "It’s been a long time, Sir."

Rong Fangjun held a good impression of Mr. Bai, especially since he was now Rong Zhi’s teacher, quickly smiled and asked Lu Zhao to invite him to sit down.

As for the other members of the Rong Family, except for Rong Zhi who looked indifferent, their expressions towards Bai Su were filled with suspicion and scrutiny, considering their last meeting wasn’t exactly pleasant.

Once everyone was seated, they began eating. The Rong Family didn’t have a rule about not talking during meals. Halfway through, Rong Fangjun couldn’t help but ask, "Third, I want to ask you something, you have to be honest with Grandpa."

Rong Zhi was biting a piece of beef. Although she didn’t live in the old house for long, the chef remembered her preferences, so tonight’s dishes were made mildly flavored, and the meat in the dish in front of her was just picked for her by Bai Su.

Upon hearing this, she quickly chewed and naturally took the coconut juice handed to her by Bai Su, thanked him, and then looked at Rong Fangjun, "What is it?"

Rong Fangjun: "Do you have a license plate starting with Jing A followed by several zeros? Don’t lie to Grandpa; he saw it."

Rong Zhi paused, "Oh, that."

Rong Fangjun’s eyes brightened immediately; others looked at her with uncertain expression.

"When did you get the license plate?" Rong Fangjun seemed rather excited, but controlled his emotions well, asked calmly, "That license plate is not simple, Third, you know, in Beijing, such a license plate represents an extraordinary status."

Of course, not ordinary, it wouldn’t be linked with the State Affairs Bureau if it were ordinary.

Rong Zhi glanced around the table and roughly understood the situation. She casually pointed to Bai Su beside her, her tone indifferent, "Not when I got it, he gave it."

There was a clinking sound from across the table, she lazily looked up, and immediately met Ying Man’s astonished gaze that had yet to be withdrawn, as if in disbelief, or perhaps disgust?

Rong Zhi drank her coconut juice leisurely, not bothering to explain Ying Man’s misunderstanding.

"Why would Mr. Bai give you... such an expensive license plate?" Ying Man slightly pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows, carefully chose her words.

Bai Su’s handsome eyebrows slightly raised, he was still wearing gloves for peeling crabs for Rong Zhi, and just now everyone was focused on Rong Zhi; only now they noticed that his interactions with her seemed rather extensive.

Even Rong Fangjun began scrutinizing them upon hearing ’he gave it,’ and the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

However, the two were openly in a teacher-student relationship, so their behavior was unremarkable.

Bai Su also removed his gloves, took the paper towels prepared by the servants to wipe his hands, and smiled at them, "A friend gave it to me a few years ago; I had no use for it, so I gave it to the Third Young Master as a gift for becoming my student."

A gift for becoming a student, giving such a valuable license plate?! Does he even understand what that number represents??

Ying Man’s eyes turned dark and unclear, she silently moved her chair a bit back, wanting to get farther from Rong Zhiyuan across the table.

At this moment, in her eyes, aside from the thin blood relation which was barely existent, she already felt disgust towards Rong Zhi.

But Rong Zhi continued eating leisurely, seemingly unaffected.

Since yesterday’s contact with Ying Fan, she understood Ying Man’s feelings, but she wouldn’t forgive.

The things Ying Man did to her, perhaps she could understand initially, but since Ying Man wanted her to leave the Rong Family, their mother-daughter relationship was personally severed by her. Read full story at novel⁂fire.net

Rong Fangjun wanted to ask Bai Su more questions, but obviously, they weren’t close enough for that; the man claimed it was a friend’s gift, so how could he pursue who that friend was?

Thus, he held back the topic, just knowing where the license plate came from was enough, while he sighed inwardly. He turned to Rong Zhi to inquire about another matter, "How is the national research project with Huajing going?"

Upon this topic, Rong Qichuo listened attentively.

He arranged for Fang Xuezhen to enter Rong Zhi’s team to try to gain involvement, but shortly after joining Huajing Group, Rong Zhi went to the Engineering College, where Fang Xuezhen couldn’t enter. He couldn’t get news of Rong Zhi, so it was a good chance to find out.

Rong Xian’an also looked towards the youth with a rather intense expression.

Rong Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were cool, and her demeanor was rather unruly. She slowly answered with an indifferent tone, "It’s going well, President Qi appointed me as the project leader."
