The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: 218 arrives in Jiangjing, Ji Mulan receives a phone call (Second Update)_3

Ning Xiao was well aware of who was behind their achievements.

So was Class Fifteen.

Bai Lian switched hands while holding her phone, “…it’s too much, tell them not to go.”

Pu Xiaohan looked vaguely into the camera, “I’m not finished yet. The principal and others want to visit your grandfather as well, along with the people from the Xiangcheng Education Bureau.”

Bai Lian: “…”

She hung up the phone and silently apologized to Ji Heng in her heart.

As soon as she ended the call, Bai Lian saw the photo of the tombstone on her phone.

The tomb was old and dilapidated, unattended. She sighed and murmured, “This won’t do, Third Princess. How can I take you to show my brother.”

A few steps away.

Jiang Fulai didn’t come closer.

Standing by the side of the path, he answered a call. The voice of a woman came from the other end, “I heard you’re going back to Jiangjing?”

“Yeah, I’ll return tonight,” he said indifferently, standing in the sunlight, his profile cold, his gaze fixed in Bai Lian’s direction.

Bai Lian was still sitting in front of the tombstone, dressed in simple loose clothes, looking exceptionally slender. In the light, she seemed enveloped in a halo.

Sitting there casually, she looked beautiful but forlorn like a cat that couldn’t find its way.

“I thought you were going to stay in Xiangcheng for five or six years,” came the surprised tone from the other end.

“I had planned on that,” Jiang Fulai saw Bai Lian getting up and diverted his attention, speaking in an unhurried manner, “Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

Jiangjing.

At Ji Shaojun’s residence.

After a day of classes, he hesitated before speaking to the butler.

The butler, holding a cane, looked up, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Alian will be in Jiangjing this afternoon,” Ji Shaojun paused, “I’d like her to come here for a meal.”

Bai Lian did well in her college entrance exam. Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing had planned to return to Xiangcheng, but Bai Lian came directly to Jiangjing after her exams. Though puzzled, they did not shuttle back and forth.

Shen Qing and Ji Shaojun had wanted to cook themselves, but since the house was arranged by the Mu Family for Ji Shaojun, they needed to ask the butler first.

Bai Lian?

The butler was taken aback, recalling that Ji Shaojun had returned to Xiangcheng for Bai Lian’s college entrance exam: “She’s coming to Jiangjing this early?”
