Chapter 510: Halt! I’ to You!
So as it that held higher status in Lan Jue’s heart? It was difficult to adun to dim Zhou Qianlin was sharper, more impressed upon his mind However, deep in his heart there would forever be an overlap between them He’d come to accept that this may always be the case
It doesn’t matter, I like her! Lan Jue fir back
It wasn’t long before he arrived at the peak of the mountain Lan Jue found a place to lean his bicycle, then walked up to the front
He pressed the doorbell
After aopen Lan Jue was met by none other than the Chairuan
Lan Jue went stiff Ever since taking Zhou Qianlin fro, Lan Jue had been left with an unhealed wound He didn’t kno he could explain, and apologize to her family
The Chair for?”
This wasn’t the kind of place solicitors frequented
“Uncle, hello,” Lan Jue began “I a for Zhou Qianlin”
The most powerful politician in the East stood in the doorway, and sized up the young visitor Lan Jue had chosen an ash grey suit, with a deep blue shi+rt and dark grey tie His brown leather shoes were a stately addition, and with the suit set off his slender, athletic physique The edge of a white handkerchief peaked from his vest pocket
“You are?” the Chairman asked
“I’m her friend I’m sorry, is she home?” Lan Jue inquired
Zhou Xueguan shook his head “She is not She left early thisand hasn’t returned Why haven’t you called her communicator, friend?”
Lan Jue s She’s not answering my calls”
“A ?” The statesman looked at Lan Jue curiously “Come in” He stepped aside and pulled open the door He didn’t kno this young ot all the way up here, but in his years of experience he’d learned to read people well This young man, in his estimation, had no ill intent
This was the first time Lan Jue entered this complex by the front door The place was as spartan as Qianlin’s room Only the simple essentials and tasteful decoration could be seen
Zhou Xueguan lead Lan Jue to a sofa and sat “You still haven’t told me who you are”
“Ah, I’m sorry, how impolite Uncle, I am Lan Jue” He was still a little out of sorts, otherwise he wouldn’t have forgotten such a simple courtesy
“Lan Jue?” Zhou Xueguan searched his memory for the name, but shook his head “I’m sorryI’ve never heard Qianlin talk about you How do you know each other?”
Lan Jue fumbled for words “I’m one of her instructors at school I’m an etiquette teacher at the National Eastern University”
It appeared those qualifications were enough for the chairman His face softened once Lan Jue explained who he was “Etiquette teacher, eh? No wonder I get a refined sense froet to Won’t be long”
Was this a hint for him to leave? Lan Jue looked reluctant, but he was not slow in rising to his feet “Uncle, if I could trouble you to give Qianlin a ent”
“Sure,” the chairman replied “But I’m afraid, instructor, I must remind you You are Qianlin’s teacher, and thus should call me ‘sir’, not ‘uncle’”
Sharp! No wonder he’s the Chairman
Lan Jue couldn’t think of a way to answer He only nodded, andyou”
Zhou Xueguan put in his daughter’s nus Qianlin’s familiar voice answered “Daddy, what is it?”
Inwardly Lan Jue couldn’t help but gloat Hah! I knew she was just screening my calls!
“We have a visitor here at the house,” her father began “He says he’s your teacher Lan Jue He says he needs to speak with you about soent”
“Oh Hand him the communicator, please” Her voice was calm
Zhou Xueguan gave his communicator to Lan Jue, who thankfully took it from him “Qianlin, where are you?”
Qianlin’s sweet voice answered “Professor Lan, I’ around with a few friends What’s the matter?”
He couldn’t be direct with her father standing right in front of him “Can we meet somewhere and talk?”
Her response was soft “I’m sorry I’ve already left Skyfire City”
