The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: 243 Jiang University Physics Department! Brother Jiang is Back (Second Update) _2

The people of great families have always been very united since ancient times. Back then, there was even the concept of collective punishment, where if one person committed a crime punishable by death, it would implicate nine generations of the family.

Shared glory and shared loss, this notion has been passed down to the present.

Ji Heng also greatly admired this half-brother of his and never thought of competing with him, knowing that with Mu Xiangguang there, the Mu Family would become even more prosperous.

It was only upon returning to Jiangjing that he heard a few words from Ji Shaojun.

Having taken a sip of tea, Mu Yining remarked, “You know, he still hasn’t gotten over it. That time, my brother didn’t want to go with the scientific expedition team. He felt he wasn’t experienced enough, but our father pulled some strings and forcefully got them in.”

Due to his interference, Mu Qiong, whom Mu Xiangguang had been grooming with devotion, died, and since then, he has almost never left the Buddhist temple.

...

Ji Heng was clearly hearing this for the first time as he set down his smoking pipe.

Compared to Mu Qiong’s death, he himself was the final executioner, and this was the real reason Mu Xiangguang could not forgive himself.

The atmosphere grew heavy upon mentioning this.

After finishing the meal, Mu Yining escorted Ji Heng and the others downstairs and had her driver take them back to Shanhai Apartment, “Be careful on the road.”

Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing were returning to their place and didn’t go back with Ji Heng.

Mu Yining called a Qingxin Building car to take Ji Shaojun back, and only after everyone had left did she return to her car. Pressing her temples, she asked, “Did Mu Zhao go to school today?”

Assistant Wang was driving, and he replied respectfully, “The young master said he’d go on the last day.”

Mu Zhao was also applying to Jiangjing University, but he was in the Economics Department.

Upon the mention of Jiang University, Assistant Wang drove to the intersection and slowly said, “Mr. Mu, Miss Bai is also at Jiangjing University.”

“What? She’s at Jiang University?” Mu Yining rolled down the window, feeling a bit more alert.

She had been observing Bai Lian for a long time that day.

Assistant Wang answered, “Yes, Jiang University Physics Department.”

As a member of the Mu Family, who didn’t know about the Physics Department at Jiang University?

Mu Qiong used to be in the Physics Department at Jiang University, participated in a direct Ph.D. program, and joined the scientific expedition team.

Listening to the familiar major, Mu Yining stared blankly out the window, “She actually got into Jiang University on her own, and it’s the Physics Department of Jiang University…”

As far as she knew, Bai Lian was also from Xiangcheng.

Mu Qiong had been receiving the finest education since he was young, but Mu Yining could guess the conditions Bai Lian faced in Xiangcheng without having to think about it.

“Do you think…” At the red light, Assistant Wang stopped the car, “If the master knows she’s in the Physics Department, will he come out?”

Mu Yining pulled herself back from her thoughts.

“I don’t know; the problem is not just my dad. Look, she has never visited the Mu Family either,” Mu Yining leaned back in her seat, suddenly looking up, “Does the butler know about this?”

She was inquiring whether the butler was aware of this situation.

Mu Yining’s focus had already shifted towards economics, and she didn’t understand the matters of the scientific community. The leading figures of the major research institutions were probably known only to Mu Xiangguang.

But without Mu Xiangguang coming out, there was nothing Mu Yining could do.

“He probably doesn’t know,” whispered Assistant Wang.

**

The registration period for Jiang University lasted three days, from the 29th to the 31st.

On the 31st, in the evening, Bai Lian returned to room 407 with her black computer and a small pot of succulents.

The door was ajar, and as she entered, two of her roommates were by the desk on the left side of the door, yelling frantically at the computer, “It’s not loading! Come on, come on! You’re Jiang University’s network, how can you be this bad?!”

Yu Simin also turned her head and greeted warmly, “So you are our last mysterious roommate. Add me on WeChat, and I’ll pull you into our dorm group.” _{freёwebnovel.com}

Bai Jian.

“Ah, are you also a fan of Yan Lu?” Kong Wei gripped her phone tightly, suppressing her excitement.

Bai Lian slowly pulled out a chair to sit, and took a book from the side. Hearing the question, she raised an eyebrow, “Sort of.”

Finding a common interest, the distance between them closed instantly.

Kong Wei and Yu Simin had competed for five minutes. The campus network at Jiang University was so bad that neither could get the album, and they swore not to recommend juniors to apply to Jiang University.

“The person across from you is Xun Qian,” Kong Wei said listlessly, hugging a bag of potato chips and gossiping with Bai Lian, “She came yesterday with a butler and bodyguards; she has a butler at her home.”

“The Xun Family?” Yu Simin pushed her glasses, clearly knowing some people in Jiangjing, and analyzed seriously, “It must be that Xun Family.”

“Which one?” Gossip was Kong Wei’s nature.

Yu Simin glanced at Bai Lian’s book, which was in a foreign language that she did not understand, and continued to reason while touching her chin, “There are only so many families in Jiangjing. My maternal grandfather warned me about causing trouble in Jiangjing and mentioned a few things. Generally, families with marital connections to the Xu Family have royal lineage. By extension, our dorm could also be considered royalty, right?”

Bai Lian looked down, slowly flipping through the book.

She wasn’t listening carefully, but when Yu Simin mentioned the Xu Family, she couldn’t help but think of Xu Nanjing and his entourage.

Outside Jiang University’s gates.

A car with no logos slowly drove in. The gatekeeper, seeing the license plate, was startled and quickly let it through from afar.

Wondering to himself why the car was at Jiangjing today.

With many people taking walks around Jiang University at that time, and more cars entering and exiting the university during those days, most did not recognize the internal car plates and did not pay much attention. Still, a few were pondering why the character in front of the plate was not “Jiang” but “Yan.”

The car avoided the crowd and slowly drove from the west gate toward Nanmei District.

When the car stopped, Academician Ma was still on his computer, the fluorescent light reflecting on his face. Without looking up as the car door opened, he asked, “You’re not attending the summary meeting?”

Jiang Fulai got out of the car, looked towards the street corner, casually putting on a baseball cap, his tone cold, “What’s the point if they need me for everything? What use is it to keep them?”
