The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 613: The hardest circle to fit into, start of school (another update)_2

Bai Lian aimed to get into the Tongfeng class, she naturally hoped others could also make it.

Yang Lin’s ambition lay in biology, not within the class range, she considered Ning Xiao, but she was a bit worried about Tang Ming.

Bai Lian wanted to say something more when her phone on the side moved. Xu Nanjing had sent her a bunch of exclamation marks and shocked pig emojis.

Realizing she had spent quite some time outside, Bai Lian smoothed out her sleeve and stood up, glancing at Jiang Fulai, “Let’s go inside first.”

She walked ahead, while Jiang Fulai habitually stayed a step behind her.

Jingjing watched her indifferent figure walking ahead.

She gifted him with jade, and he returned her favor with a jade hairpin.

Inside the private room.

When Bai Lian returned, Chief Chen was drinking with Dean Ji Hengjian.

“That was someone from the Academy of Sciences,” Chief Chen was talking about Academician Ma with Ji Heng, aware of the commotion Bai Lian had caused, “Is Miss Bai, being booked by them?”

Chief Chen was also a native of Jiangjing, and although he had taken the military official path, he still understood a thing or two.

“With her talent so high, she should be turned over to the country,” Ji Heng held his glass, pouring himself another round and also filling up those for Dean Ji and Chief Chen, “It’s only right.”

When he said it was only right, there was always some sort of melancholy in his tone.

Pride mixed with an inexplicable sense of solitude.

Chief Chen nodded, raising his glass to speak with Ji Heng, “Miss Bai, this is just the beginning…”

As he spoke, he glanced toward Ji Shaojun, whose expression seemed a bit off, “Brother Ji?”

Ji Shaojun snapped back to reality, “It’s nothing.”

He picked up his chopsticks and said slowly, “Alian will probably come back often, look at Xiaojiang to know.”

As they were talking on this side.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bingwen and Xu Nanjing were still motionlessly staring at Bai Lian, “Sister G said you were the top scorer of the college entrance exam?”

“Yeah.” Bai Lian casually sat next to Pu Xiaohan and asked Ning Xiao about the exam questions.

Xu Nanjing opened his mouth, “Why didn’t you ever mention this?”

“Why mention such things?” Bai Lian leaned back and looked up slightly, those deep black eyes making Xu Nanjing’s words come to a halt.

To her, it seemed that scoring full marks on the college entrance exam was no more than an ordinary event, just one goal in her path through life, so there was no need to bring it up.

Xu Nanjing fell silent, thinking that if his mother knew she was the top exam scorer, she would definitely hold a grand banquet at Jiangjing University.

Despite how long the Xu Family had been around, the family shrine only had one top scholar from hundreds of years ago.

Bai Lian tapped on the table and looked at Ning Xiao and Tang Ming, “Have you guys roughly reviewed the questions?”

Ning Xiao raised his head to answer, “I’ve skimmed through them, the overall difficulty is alright.”

He and Tang Ming had already huddled together to discuss the questions.

Bai Lian occasionally chimed in with a few words, while Jiang Fulai quietly leaned on the armrest beside her, occasionally lowering his head to glance coolly at Ning Xiao’s test.

Pu Xiaohan was beside her, looking at the footage from the camera.

Yellow Hair and Hong Mao couldn’t understand, so the two took out a board game to play Gomoku, and after losing, Hong Mao would bring Jiang He over to command his moves.

Occasionally asking Bai Lian to help him with a move.

Bai Lian leaned against the sofa, her white dress spread out beside her, fiddling with a chess piece in her hand. From three meters away, she casually flicked it onto the chessboard.

The piece landed precisely where it was meant to.

Her features were delicate, and the word “beautiful” seemed too generic to describe her.

There was a casual yet composed elegance about her as she made her directives. Pu Xiaohan would occasionally turn her head to show Bai Lian the footage on the camera.

Jiang Fulai only exchanged a few words with Ning Xiao and Bai Lian.

Among them, even Pu Xiaohan, who had the lowest grades, was from Media University. As for Ning Xiao, she was even more outstanding than those from the attached high school, not to mention Bai Lian.

Over the past two years, Liang Wuyu, who had garnered much attention, was merely a stepping stone for her.

Xiao Bingwen realized why Xu Nanjing hadn’t asked him to invite the young masters and misses from his circle to liven up the scene. The circle of these young people was far more fascinating than theirs.

This group of young people was vibrant, full of high spirits. Xiao Bingwen couldn’t help but exhale deeply.

“Nanjing,” Xiao Bingwen said, looking at Bai Lian in the midst of the crowd, “I always feel that these few people aren’t so simple… ”

Jiangjing always said it was hard to get into Xu Nanjing and Jiang Xijue’s circle.

Now, looking at them, he felt that the truly hard-to-reach circle in the future would be Bai Lian’s.

“It’s not just them,” Xu Nanjing was more familiar with Bai Lian than Xiao Bingwen. Recalling Pu Xiaohan’s words, he said, “There should be a few more people, probably Sister Lu, whom I haven’t seen. Plus another good guy, I’ve only heard of him.”

“Good guy?” It was the first time Xiao Bingwen had heard of this.

“He was squatting in Xiangcheng Prison in his senior year,” Xu Nanjing lit a cigarette, glancing at Xiao Bingwen, “Chi Lu personally fought the case, and he was still sentenced to a year. During that time, Jiang brother kept tutoring him personally.”

He was truly a tough guy.

Until now, Xu Nanjing still didn’t know what that “good guy” was called.

Xu Nanjing pressed down the lighter, blew a smoke ring, and his peach blossom eyes slightly squinted.

Pu Xiaohan had just mentioned that four people got into Jiang University, and one of them was Yang Lin.

In a situation where she was losing a lot of blood, she managed to calmly lay out the scene—Yang Lin, who had the resolve to take her father’s life with a knife. Xu Nanjing didn’t know what drove her, but the resilience of someone who broke free from such a family was just like that “good guy”.

Listening to this, Jiang Fulai personally going to prison for tutoring, and Chi Yundai? The top legal team in Asia’s legal circle?

He tapped his knee, his gaze fixed on Bai Lian and the others.

Jiangjing sure had become lively.

8.29.

The day Jiangjing University freshmen reported for enrollment.

Shanhai Apartment, first floor.

Ji Heng was watering the succulents and cabbage with one hand and holding his phone in the other, talking to Ji Shaojun, “No rush, I live right by Jiangda, there’s plenty of time to get there.”

On the other end of the phone, Ji Shaojun hung up.

He grabbed his package and was about to leave. Shen Qing rarely stayed here anymore, often going to Bai Lian’s place instead.

He opened the door to see the building’s butler and Xiaojie.

It was Sunday, a day off, and the butler knew Ji Shaojun was always disciplined, so he came to discuss banquet arrangements.

Seeing him with the package, the butler was curious, “Where are you heading? Let us drive you there?”
