The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

He finally found an explanation for the oddity he had always felt.

No wonder Bai Lian said she didn’t care about the spot back then in Xiangcheng.

No wonder he had seen her at the Boyuan Base.

The full score in mathematics that had been looming over him since the midterms, almost becoming his shadow…

Was it Bai Lian?

He knew both Tang Ming and Ning Xiao were from Xiangcheng No.1 High School; finally catching onto something, he pressed his hand against the table and stood up, “So, the one who scored 150 in mathematics in the last joint exam was her? What about this time’s mathematics and the science comprehensive?”

At the base, he had also interacted with Ning Xiao, who was good at both math and physics, especially physics.

Therefore, Song Min had always thought that Ning Xiao was the one who scored 150.

“Yes,” Tang Ming didn’t understand why Song Min was reacting so strongly and jumped in shock, he hesitantly began, “Of course, the math was sister Lian, but the first place in science comprehensive was Ning Xiao.”

Learning that Bai Lian wasn’t first in science comprehensive, Song Min let out a huge sigh of relief.

However, the next second, he felt the pressure come crashing in like a tide from all directions.

150 points…

Her mathematics was that good?

He looked up, staring blankly in Bai Lian’s direction.

Xu Family.

Director Wang had someone deliver the New Year’s gifts to the old lady before saying goodbye, “Old Madam, President Xu, Miss Qi, I have to go abroad tomorrow and am paying an early New Year visit now.”

The day after tomorrow was Xu En’s wedding, and he was leaving the country tomorrow.

Old Madam Xu had no objections to Director Wang’s actions; in fact, she even seemed to encourage it, saying with a smile, “I appreciate your thoughtfulness.”

Xu En nodded at Director Wang without a word.

After delivering the gifts, Director Wang left the Xu Family residence. As he was walking out, he happened to see Xu Wenyao’s car.

“Xiaoqin, go to the company tomorrow to check on things,” said Director Wang as he got into his car, not even lifting his head to the driver, “Find out what’s going on with the Xus, and you, the proposals are revised again and again and still the same, showing no progress at all… ”

The driver Xiaoqin was honest and simple, not daring to speak up against Director Wang’s criticism.

He was an employee of the company, not a driver, but today, even on his day off, he had been called in by Director Wang to act as his driver.

With a car loan and a mortgage to pay, a son in high school, a wife undergoing chemotherapy, and both sets of parents to support, he dared not speak out against his boss’s abuse and didn’t dare to quit his job.

Inside the house.

Old Madam Xu looked at Xu En, “I told you to bring Bai Lian here before the wedding. Why have there been no developments?”

The old lady still hadn’t given up.

“She doesn’t have time,” Xu En replied calmly, though he actually hadn’t mentioned it to Bai Lian at all.

“No time?” Old Madam Xu scoffed; she didn’t believe it for a second.

Bai Lian didn’t have time?

But at that moment, she had other things to think about, glancing at Xu En, “When Wenyao gets here, you speak to him properly. He’s not replying to Shuyun’s messages, and you’ve seen how upset Shuyun is getting.”

As she spoke, she also reached out to pat Qi Shuyun’s hand, saying very kindly, “Shuyun dear, don’t worry, Grandma will handle it for you.”

Qi Shuyun sat next to Old Madam Xu, her eyes were a bit red.

Xu En, however, remained silent.

Almost as soon as Old Madam Xu finished speaking, Xu Wenyao returned home.

“Wenyao,” Old Madam Xu stood up upon seeing that Xu En wasn’t saying anything, “Now that Shuyun is here, you should apologize to her quickly. What’s with all this conflict between young lovers?”

She laughed, playing the mediator.

Qi Shuyun turned her head away, refusing to look at Xu Wenyao.

Every time they argued, Xu Wenyao was the first to give in, whether it was a big matter like today’s conflict or a small one, like the tone of his WeChat replies.

The Xu Family and the Qi Family originally had something akin to a business marriage. The Xu Family was wealthy, while the Qi Family was influential in the educational sector.

Xu Wenyao had never had a girlfriend before Qi Shuyun, who was both his first and only one. Usually, he tried his best to do whatever Qi Shuyun asked, but now he was tired.

“I don’t think I’m wrong in this matter,” he said frankly.

Setting aside the fact that the Ji Family had helped Xu En in Xiangcheng before, now that Ji Mulan was to marry Xu En, and the Ji Family was coming to Jiangjing for the first time, they had to show the proper courtesy.

Qi Shuyun, standing beside Old Madam Xu, suddenly stood up.

Then, without looking back, she ran out of the Xu Family’s main gate.

“Shuyun! Shuyun!” Old Madam Xu, holding her cane, tried to follow her out, but ultimately couldn’t catch up.

“Xu Wenyao, what on earth are you thinking?” Old Madam Xu beat her cane forcefully against the floor, “Do you know Shuyun came to give you event tickets? Wouldn’t she have given them to you if you had said one soft word? What’s wrong with a boy sweet-talking a girl a bit?”

Xu Wenyao didn’t want to talk.

He headed straight upstairs, towards the last room on the hall, and knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack, and a short-haired girl peeked out stealthily, asking Xu Wenyao in a low voice, “Have all the guests downstairs left?”
