Chapter 201: Chapter 201

Rong Xian’an watched his wife and daughter walk away, then turned back, "Mr. Bai..."

Bai Su nodded slightly, shook the youth’s fingers, then put one hand in his pocket and stood up, speaking with aristocratic courtesy, "You go ahead."

Rong Xian’an replied with a hum.

Once all unrelated personnel left, he suddenly turned his head, his expression solemn, "Rong Zhi, what on earth is going on?"

Rong Zhi had already put the card away. She slung her backpack over her shoulder, sat in a boss-like manner with her legs crossed, and her demeanor was extremely lackadaisical, "That’s about it."

He frowned and spoke sternly, as if advising, "Rong Zhi, I’m not joking with you. Do you not understand what the Mechanical Engineering Institute represents? The people who get in there are talents cultivated by the state. You must clearly explain the origin of this card of yours, or how can we help you?"

Rong Qichuo, upon hearing this, looked at Rong Xian’an in disbelief, "Dad?"

It’s just an identity card, is Dad really going to give up on him and turn to cultivate Rong Zhi instead?!

Rong Xian’an gave him a look as if to say, calm down, wanting to continue explaining to the youth, but the latter wasn’t in the mood to waste time on these utterly boring matters, bid farewell to Rong Fangjun with a calm expression.

Rong Fangjun pondered for a moment and nodded, agreeing she could leave first. The rightful source is noⅴelfire.net

Rong Xian’an: "Father?"

The youth got up and left, and once her figure disappeared inside the house, Rong Fangjun lifted his gaze slightly and calmly said, "Don’t ask anymore. You know the Third Young Master’s temperament very well. The fact that he could take out the identity card today clearly shows you’ve pushed him to the brink lately."

If not for Rong Zhi’s inherently laid-back nature, how could he be tearing apart with them now?

Rong Xian’an pressed his lips together, silent. Rong Fangjun paid him no mind, "You guys need to use your brains. Who else could get a No. 0 card from the Engineering College, besides that person?"

That person, Academician Zhao?

The hand Rong Qichuo had on the table instantly clenched tight. He seemed to realize something, and intense hatred suddenly erupted in his eyes.

No wonder, no wonder when he almost succeeded in plagiarizing Lu Si back then, it was spoiled by the teacher Lin Qiming mentioned. No wonder as soon as Lu Si entered the Mechanical Engineering Institute, he could stay by Zhao Hecheng’s side, so was it all pushed by Rong Zhi behind the scenes?!

He breathed heavily, unable to calm his mood.

Rong Zhi found Bai Su still hadn’t left when she exited the old house.

The man’s refined and sentimental face was slightly turned, with a cigarette held between his fingers unlit, his expression somewhat aloof, and the scent of mint intertwined with agarwood on him became more intense the closer you got.

She had smelled it since meeting him today.

She sat in Bai Su’s car on the way back, with the Audi following in self-driving mode behind. Rong Zhi was messaging Zhao Hecheng when she looked up and discovered the man was somehow very close.

The faint and pleasant fragrance during the exchange of breaths was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Why did you tell them?"

The handsome thin lips parted slightly, minty freshness swirling around, Rong Zhi frowned slightly, with a very cold and dry tone, "They are very annoying."

Fang Xuezhen was like a piece of rat poop, messing around within her team, Bai Tingxun often reported to her about what Fang Xuezhen did yesterday, hindering the project’s progress.

She didn’t have the patience to let Fang Xuezhen continue causing trouble .

The traffic light ahead turned red, and the car stopped steadily.

Bai Su slowly and methodically peeled a candy wrapper with his distinct long fingers, just like when he helped her peel crab on the dining table earlier, and handed it to her lips. His beautifully contoured peach blossom-shaped eyes shimmering slightly, "Then have a candy, after eating it, you won’t be annoyed anymore."

Rong Zhi remained expressionless, seeing that the red light was about to turn green, and the man showed no intention of stopping, she pursed her lips and quickly bit the candy into her mouth.

The whole process was so fast that Bai Su couldn’t react in time.

He was taken aback, then smiled silently.

The exposure of the identity card did not affect Rong Zhi much. She still went to and from work on time every day. Rong Xian’an occasionally called her, but she was too busy to answer, and when she finally had time to look later, she couldn’t be bothered to return the call.

Apparently knowing he couldn’t get through with her, Rong Xian’an had Rong Fangjun approach her, asking her to spend more time at the old house to accompany him when she had time.

Rong Zhi reluctantly agreed.

Qi Ruwen came by once during her working hours to ask about the license plate. It was then she realized why the Rong Family suspected her — someone had posted a video of her driving online.

Qi Ruwen also asked her, sounding quite cautious, "Third Young Master, can I ask you something?"

Rong Zhi was drawing on a tablet and didn’t even lift her head when she responded, "Hmm?"

"Well," Qi Ruwen pondered, "Do you know someone named Bai Su?"

He thought since the license plate was given out and Huajing was specifically instructed, then Mr. Su and Rong Zhi must be very familiar, so asking this shouldn’t be a problem.

Rong Zhi’s pen tip paused slightly, eyebrows raised subtly, and with a nonchalant tone, "I know."
