The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 911

Chapter 911: Extra Episode 360 Chapter 5: The Dominance of Bai Lian

The gift boxes Xiaoqi packaged were all under the guidance of Xun Chun, and both had quite the aesthetic.

Both the wooden boxes and their decorations had a charming appeal.

At the time, uncle Meng also helped bring them back, and he had a deep impression of these boxes and recognized them at a glance.

Which family would carelessly throw this gift box out as trash?

Uncle Meng’s heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, the next second, the cleaning staff politely said, "This is from the third master’s yard."

Third master?

Bai Lian didn’t know who he was but thanked the person anyway, "Thank you."

She held the gift box in her hand and continued walking inside with uncle Meng, looking at him with the same casual and loose expression as before.

Seeing uncle Meng looking over, she gave him a polite smile.

It seemed she wasn’t bothered by the gift box from the trash bin.

Despite her gentle expression, uncle Meng felt somewhat uneasy for reasons unknown.

By the time Bai Lian arrived, Ji Heng had almost finished packing his things.

Ji Family’s second master stood in the middle of the hall, ready to return to Xiangcheng with Ji Heng.

He held a hand-rolled cigarette and looked towards the left at the embroidery frame. "If you’re not bringing her back, you should at least let me pay my respects to her, it’s been forty years."

Ji Family’s second master actually knew that when Wanxin was at home, she often contacted the municipal people.

Later, after getting into Jiangjing University and getting together with Mu Heng, the two of them vanished from public view, with no news and no way to trace them.

Back then, Ji Family’s second master guessed that Wanxin and Mu Heng might already be people of the state.

He couldn’t really blame Mu Heng; even without him, Wanxin would have made the same choice.

What he couldn’t let go of was that Ji Heng hadn’t contacted them for so long and hadn’t brought Wanxin back either.

Ji Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Now it’s possible."

Great aunt stood aside, quietly sighing.

The Ji Family was now in a state of heated rivalry. Compared to the hastily ambitious third branch, great aunt preferred the composed second branch. Recently, though, the third branch had delivered frequent successes, especially with securing a cooperation in Jiangjing.

This cooperation was still a mystery to great aunt.

For Ji Family’s second master, leaving at this juncture was more disadvantageous than beneficial.

Great aunt saw them out and as they were leaving, left Bai Lian, "Good child, do you want to stay at Ji Family for a few days? Let your grandparents go back first?"

"Thank you, but I have other things to attend to," Bai Lian politely declined.

After the car drove away, great aunt then walked back, remarking to uncle Meng about Bai Lian, "Jiangjing University, still so well-behaved. Truly a descendent of Wanxin. She carries her grace."

Back in the courtyard, great aunt remembered the gift box Bai Lian had brought.

In great aunt’s room, there were two similar boxes.

"It’s from the third master’s room," uncle Meng honestly spoke, "The third master might not have noticed and accidentally threw away the box; Miss Bai picked it up from the trash bin."

Great aunt was shocked, "They... even if they didn’t like it, they could have just set it aside, not thrown it into the trash bin."

What kind of manners was that?

She had someone look for Ji Family’s third master.

Although Ji Family’s third master didn’t care for the gift, he wouldn’t have discarded it, "It might have been placed in a corner with some refuse last night and got cleared out by the servants by mistake,"

he explained.

"Call them later and explain the situation," great aunt sighed.

Ji Family’s third master responded, changing the topic, "The Che Family also sent some embroidery, but in the end, we were slightly better off. In a few days, I’m planning to invite that butler for a meal,..."
