The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

“Is she in your class?” Ji Mulan had always thought Bai Lian had come to Jiangjing for tourism. She paused slightly, “…Do you still need her to teach you math?”

The incident with Bai Lian in her first year of high school was something Ji Mulan couldn’t forget.

Ji Mulan’s voice was somewhat loud, not as gentle as usual. Xu Zhiyue cautiously glanced at her and said, “Yes, she’s at Boyuan Base.”

“Boyuan Base?” The middle-aged woman looked at Bai Lian in surprise.

Her expression held a trace of astonishment. Although grades didn’t mean everything, they did set the upper limit of a top streamer’s capabilities. Everyone from Boyuan Base had potential and was no mediocrity… How could Mrs. Xu push such a person out of the door?

Ji Mulan didn’t know about Boyuan Base.

But in front of so many people, she wouldn’t show any signs of ignorance and simply smiled faintly.

“Zhiyue, I didn’t mean to be harsh on you,” Ji Mulan patted Xu Zhiyue’s back. Since she couldn’t talk to anyone else, she turned to Shen Qing who was sitting and said, “This is Zhiyue. She’s in an affiliated high school, second in the country…”

As she introduced Xu Zhiyue, she spoke of her as polite, obedient, hardworking, and the second in the nation…

For her own daughter, whom she was constantly dissatisfied with and found difficult to sit with, Ji Mulan spoke of Xu Zhiyue, to whom she had no blood relation, with pride and satisfaction in her eyes.

She wished so much that this well-behaved, outstanding girl was her daughter.

If Bai Lian had such a personality, Ji Mulan might kill her primary persona to make her into such an obedient, excellent doll as well.

Being second in the nation was indeed something anyone could be proud of.

Shen Qing was also shocked, but Ji Mulan’s words were even more stifling. She looked at Ji Mulan perfunctorily and said, “Ah yes, yes, yes.”

“Miss Bai, let me see you out,” Director Chen got up, putting down his glass.

He went to send off Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai.

Shen Min couldn’t bring himself to speak and followed quietly behind Director Chen.

His address of Miss Bai was heard by everyone.

Jiang Fulai also followed Bai Lian. He was always a step or two behind her and didn’t move forward. His back was against the bright lights of the hall, the tall figure casting a cold, pale shadow. Because there were quite a few people, his usually cold and indifferent face took on a languid ferocity, arrogantly beautiful.

His every feature was exquisite, and yet few dared to look him in the eye. The noisy crowd parted a meter around him as if by force.

It was indeed very effective.

Bai Lian was very pleased.

Xu En kept several paces away from Bai Lian, and only when he had seen Bai Lian and her companions into the elevator did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Wenyao trailed behind Xu En. Looking at the closing doors of the elevator, Xu En turned to glance at him and asked, “Do you know her?”

“It’s hard to say…” Xu Wenyao pondered, “but then again… it seems unlikely.”

The two dropped the subject and walked inside.

As soon as Bai Lian and her company left, Director Chen’s expression returned to one of sternness.

Sitting next to Shen Qing, still in the high chair and dressed as a little gentleman in a suit and bow tie, was Jiang He. He hadn’t left with Jiang Fulai, swinging his legs.

He had specifically gone home the previous night to pack his blanket and clothes to accompany Bai Lian to Xiangcheng.

Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai returned to Boyuan Base.

Meanwhile, Tang Ming took Ning Xiao to explore an old street in Shimen District. He scratched his head, “Aren’t you going to buy some souvenirs for your family? You haven’t really used the scholarship the school gave you, my family keeps asking me in the group chat to bring back specialties…”

Ning Xiao bought a bright red ornament as a souvenir.

“That’s it for you?” Tang Ming looked at Ning Xiao, “Aren’t you going to buy anything else? Genius, we can’t be this heartless…”

Tang Ming’s family had many relatives, including younger sisters, cousins, and nephews…

His phone was filled with a long list of items to buy.

Ning Xiao was annoyed by his chatter and said indifferently, “My family is dead. Only my grandmother is left.”

So, one was enough.

Tang Ming’s voice stopped abruptly.

He watched Ning Xiao leave the street corner, then stood there and slapped himself hard.

It was the 28th of the year, and the street was bustling with activity. Just two blocks away was the Chen Family’s private museum. Ning Xiao and Tang Ming walked to the main road to wait for the bus.

A black SUV approached from the end of the road.

Behind the wheel was a woman wearing glasses and a military coat. She had her hair tied into a high ponytail, her lips a fierce red, irritably honking the horn trying to clear the pedestrians who were running the red light.

The passenger side was adorned with a large bunch of sunflowers.

There weren’t many cars on this road, and with the ancient street opposite drawing a large crowd, only one traffic officer was left trying to direct traffic but could hardly stop those in a rush to cross the street.
