The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544: 219 has returned to her rightful place_1

Ji Mulan’s relationship with the Bai Family was strained.

When the news of Bai Shaoke first came out, the Bai Family didn’t hesitate to ignore Ji Mulan’s personal appeal and went to ask Bai Shaoke to come back. She, always accustomed to pride, faced setbacks in both marriage and her children.

She took it to heart.

The current attitude of the Bai Family…

Thinking back to the college entrance exam, Ji Mulan knew that Bai Lian might have performed better than she imagined, but surely not well enough for the head of the Bai Family Clan to personally call?

“Alian?” Ji Mulan’s hand stopped moving, her tone casual, “What do you want with her?”

She knew that Bai Lian had transferred her household registration to Ji Heng’s name but was unaware that Bai Lian had been struck from the Bai Family’s genealogy.

“There were indeed some improprieties in how Qiming and the others handled Shaoke’s incident back then; fate has played cruel tricks on us all. But now, you have married into a good family, which is a blessing in disguise,” the head of the Bai Family gently persuaded, “I know the Xu Family has considerable assets, but after all, Bai Lian carries the Bai Family name, with our blood flowing in her veins…”

The Bai Family Clan typically favored sons over daughters; if it weren’t for Ji Mulan’s support when Bai Lian was born, she wouldn’t have had the privilege of being included in the family tree.

Now, to protect her, the head of the Bai Family had even learned to grovel.

“She won’t take pride in the blood of your Bai Family,” Ji Mulan scoffed, “When you kicked her out, I didn’t see you rushing to Xiangcheng to find her. What’s changed now, suddenly remembering she’s part of the Bai Family? Forget about it, she doesn’t even want to join the Xu Family, let alone return to the Bai Family.”

The audacity.

She didn’t wait for the other party to respond and directly cut off the call, blocking the number.

Staring at the screen, she picked up her phone and dialed a call to Ji Heng.

They usually didn’t talk much, and Ji Heng was silent upon receiving the call; ever since Ji Mulan arrived in Jiangjing, she and Bai Lian had grown increasingly distant from Ji Heng.

With new expectations, she thought much less about Bai Lian.

She didn’t say much, only reminding Ji Heng that the Bai Family had been looking for him, then paused before asking, “Her… how many points did she score on the college entrance exam? Why would the Bai Family go looking for her?”

Welcoming her at the clan gates?

“Her?” On the phone, Ji Heng’s voice was as light as a breeze, “She’s the national top scholar.”

“What?” Ji Mulan’s fingers froze, her eyes slightly unfocused; Xu Zhiyue only scored 725.

“National top scholar, you can look it up in the Xiangcheng news.” On the other end, Ji Heng heard someone knock on the door and casually mentioned it to Ji Mulan before hanging up.

Ji Mulan was still in shock.
