The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: It’s time to show the real skills (second update) _1

The door opened to reveal an elderly man and a young girl.

The old man held a smoking pipe, and his face was deeply lined with wrinkles; this must be Ji Mulan’s father. Xu Wenyao bowed slightly, “Grandpa Ji, hello, I am Xu Wenyao.”

Then he looked towards Bai Lian.

It was not cold in Xiangcheng during winter. She was neatly dressed in a school jacket, her dark hair secured with a wooden hairpin, and a white backpack draped over her shoulder, embroidered with a lazy cat.

One hand held a milk tea, the other a mobile phone, as she lazily looked at her phone with her head lowered.

Xu Wenyao’s voice was gentle, “Hello, Student Bai.”

Bai Lian slowly lifted her head, her response succinct, “Hello.”

She didn’t say much but was indeed as polite as Xu En had described.

Xu’s assistant also stood nearby, respectfully greeting her, “Miss Bai.”

The group took their seats.

Xu Wenyao was no less skilled at warming up the conversation than Xu En. He smiled and found a topic of interest to Ji Heng, “I know there’s a national treasure embroidery piece from Jiangjing, the Imperial Jiangjing Scenery…”

At the mention of this, Ji Heng paused.

Then he looked at Xu Wenyao in surprise, his expression softening considerably, “It’s rare for young people nowadays to be aware of such things.”

While the two were talking, Ji Mulan didn’t interject.

Because she knew even less about embroidery than Xu Wenyao did.

Bai Lian was scrolling through her phone. Jin Kai had sent her a photo; he had finished cleaning the martial arts training ground, ordered a batch of weapons, and was discussing interior renovations.

Enrollment would begin in half a month, but the training ground didn’t need any refurbishing and could be lent out to those in need for some extra income.

“A few classmates are coming over for dinner this weekend, right? Your aunt and uncle need to shop for groceries beforehand.” During the meal, Ji Heng brought up the matter and asked Bai Lian.

“About eight,” she said.

It was just Weng Qi, Ning Xiao, and a few others.

“Her,” Ji Heng looked at Xu Wenyao and explained, “she scored forty in chemistry in the monthly exam. Her classmates wanted her to treat them.”

Bai Lian’s chemistry scores had been almost zero all semester. This was the first time she’d scored forty.

Not just the students from class 15, even the chemistry teacher wanted to join the public celebrations, but he was too aloof.

Ji Mulan gripped her chopsticks tightly.

Scoring forty out of a hundred brought an indescribable sense of shame.

“Wenyao, don’t listen to her,” Ji Mulan, who had been quiet until now, looked coldly at Bai Lian, “Wenyao is a student at Jiangjing University. Having him tutor you is something many people can’t even ask for.” _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
