The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616: 242 Originally, she was at Jiang University. (First update)_1

Ba Shiming remained silent.

The senior sitting beside him, waiting for Bai Lian to fill out the form, started to urge, “President, haven’t you registered yet? Junior sister, come here and fill out the freshman report first.”

She had been watching Bai Lian’s face, then passed the pen and paper to Bai Lian, with a voice gentle enough to melt water, “Junior sister, come on, fill out this form.”

Bai Lian expressed her thanks and took the paper and pen.

She leaned forward slightly and left her basic information on it.

“Junior sister, let’s add each other on WeChat first, then you can go to your dorm. Your dorm is in Nanmei District, building number 4, room 407,” the senior took out her phone, successfully added Bai Lian on WeChat, “I’m Ye Jingxian, a junior at the main campus. If you need anything, you can come to me.”

...

Seeing Ye Jingxian adding Bai Lian on WeChat, Gu Xiaoge also took out his phone, but just as he had it in his hand, he felt a gaze behind him.

Gu Xiaoge looked up to see the man in the black T-shirt with a stern presence.

Even through the sunglasses, he could feel the hostility.

Gu Xiaoge, stunned for a moment, missed the perfect opportunity to make a new friend.

After everyone had left, Ye Jingxian picked up the form Bai Lian had filled out. Bai Lian’s handwriting was bold and vigorous, the speed and roughness within her strokes had their own character. She could tell that Bai Lian had practiced regular script calligraphy, naturally seeing the power within the lines.

“She definitely learned calligraphy, I must get her to join our Literature and Art Department,” Ye Jingxian declared with certainty as she looked at the paper.

Beside her, Ba Shiming glanced at the computer screen and said softly, “Not necessarily.”

“What do you mean?”

As the next student was about to line up, Ba Shiming pointed to the not-yet-refreshed computer screen for Ye Jingxian to see, “Look who she is.”

Ye Jingxian leaned over for a look and saw those dazzling entrance exam scores—

“Damn, she’s joined our college too? How come we haven’t heard such big news?!”

This year, all the freshman girls were housed in the Nanmei District, in dormitories uniformly designed for four occupants with bunk beds and desks underneath, separated by sky blue partitions. The entire dormitory was extremely spacious, with a private bathroom.

The balcony was quite large too and had a table and two wooden chairs on it.

Bai Lian was one of the earliest to arrive; the other people in the dorm had not come yet, so she chose the bed near the balcony on the left side.

Shen Qing took a basin to the bathroom to fetch water and wiped down Bai Lian’s desk and chair, as well as those belonging to the other residents of the dormitory. Bai Lian arranged the books from her suitcase neatly on her desk.

Her belongings were simple: books and clothes.

As she didn’t plan to stay on campus during the registration period, Bai Lian had not brought her computer.

After registration, Bai Lian took Shen Qing and Ji Heng around Jiang University’s campus, and Shen Qing took many photos.

Tang Ming and Ning Xiao also came out of the men’s dormitory.

More people were coming to register at this time, and the school was filled with students everywhere. The Celebrity Statue Square was especially crowded, swarming with luggage.

Bai Lian and Ning Xiao both liked quiet places like the library coffee shop.

However, Shen Qing and Tang Ming’s parents enjoyed the busy atmosphere. After lunch, having checked out the Jiang University’s statue square, the library, the science building, and the teaching buildings, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Tang Ming’s parents had an eight o’clock flight and left first.

By this time, past the peak of new student arrivals, there were still quite a few people at the entrance of Jiang University.

Bai Lian stood lazily by the roadside, watching Shen Qing take photos of Jiangjing University’s main gate with her phone.

“Yang Lin’s dorm is in building 5,” Pu Xiaohan said, watching Tang Ming seeing his parents off, then turned back to speak to Bai Lian, “But she went to the neighboring art college today.”

“The art college?” Bai Lian tilted her head slightly.

She remembered the meticulous painting she had once seen in Yang Lin’s biology notebook.

“Yeah,” Pu Xiaohan said without thinking much further, “Grandfather finished making the clothes. I’m going to find Grandpa Jian later, and I plan to finish shooting this part of the video before school starts.”

Bai Lian took out her phone, looking down at it, “Okay.”

On her phone, Yan Lu sent a message saying that her new show would finish filming in a week, and after that, she’d return to Xiangcheng, waiting for Zhang Shize to get out.

Bai Lian tapped on the phone screen with her fingertips.

Next to her, Ji Heng lit a cigarette, smiled at Pu Xiaohan as he greeted her, then approached Bai Lian and, after a moment of thought, said, “Alian, come have dinner with us tonight.”

“It’s the lady who gave you the bag last time, she’s treating.”

Bai Lian watched Pu Xiaohan leave the school gate and also remembered the bag that Ji Shaojun had brought back last time.

It was a unique design, but because it was leather, she had studied it and figured that if she put slightly more books in, it might deform, so she left it unused at Shanhai Apartment.

She generally preferred the canvas bag Ji Heng had made for her—more could fit in it and it was less likely to get damaged.

The phone rang, and Bai Lian looked down to see it was Director Huang’s call.

The economic lifelines and policies were all firmly in their grasp.

But indeed, it wasn’t an easy circle to mingle in.

“It’s not just us hitting a wall,” the assistant looked at Mu Yining’s furrowed brow and spoke up, “Most have hit a wall, all except for… one family.”

Mu Yining turned her head, “Are you talking about that Xu Family?”

“Yes.”

Mu Yining looked downstairs and fell silent.

The assistant flipped through the schedule and continued to report to her, “Mu, I couldn’t book the Kangyu Tower, so I booked the ‘Yu’ private room at Qingxin Building, seven o’clock this evening.”

Ji Heng was one of Mu Yining’s elders; Mu Yining had met Ji Heng when she was old enough to remember, and she had an impression of him as a very capable person. However, after he went on to separate from the Mu Family, there were no more news from him.

Knowing that Ji Heng was coming to Jiangjing, Mu Yining would naturally treat him with high standards.

Kangyu Tower was difficult to book, and getting a reservation at Qingxin Building during this time frame was already quite good.

Mu Yining raised her wrist, looking down at the time on her watch, decisively, “Assistant Wang, you go pick them up first. I’ll drive over myself in a bit.”

**

Assistant Wang had Ji Shaojun’s WeChat and enquired for their address.

Ji Shaojun sent a location directly.

Assistant Wang got into the driver’s seat, checked the location on his phone, and saw it was Jiangjing University.

Ji Shaojun had told him that he was taking his niece to register today.

Ren Wanxuan’s records had been collected by him. Her achievements were decent but weren’t considered among the top talents. It was said that one looks to Jiangjing University for domestic talent, but within Jiang University, one looks to Class Three for exceptional talent.

Not to mention Ren Wanxuan, even Mu Zhao was not among the top talents.

After meeting Ren Wanxuan, they hardly had any expectations for the other girl.

The entrance of Jiang University wasn’t as congested as before, but there were still plenty of taxis.

Assistant Wang drove the car to the university gates, his gaze fixed on Ji Heng and the others who had just emerged from the entrance, as he thought absent-mindedly:

He and the Mu family butler had always known that Miss Bai had been admitted to Jiangjing but had never asked which school she was at. So it turned out—

She was at Jiang University.
