The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545: 219 has returned to her rightful place_2

Shun Yu stuffed his phone back into his pocket and lowered his head to take a sip of the tea brewed by Ji Heng.

The tea was clear in color, with a lasting aftertaste.

A delicacy.

After he finished his drink, he glanced at the furnishings in the courtyard, then back at his cup of tea, feeling that something was amiss, but because his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Bai Lian, he didn’t give it much thought, “Mr. Ji, could you give me Bai Lian’s contact details, please? I would like to discuss her career development in detail.”

Meanwhile.

A car from Beicheng pulled up at the gate of Xiangcheng First High School, and Bai Qiming got out of the back seat.

This was his first visit to Xiangcheng.

He looked at the not-so-tall gateway of Xiangcheng First High School. At a glance, the teaching building and the library inside did not stand out. He could see the historical mottling of the external walls and his gaze then moved to the banner hanging above the main entrance—

[Congratulations to Bai Lian, our student, for securing the top rank in the National College Entrance Examination for Science!]

The Bai Family patriarch got out of the car in front. He was asking the school security guard for news about Bai Lian.

These days, there’d been many people coming to Xiangcheng First High, some even coming to take photos with the school.

The guard looked at Bai Qiming and company and couldn’t help but smile, “You could ask Ms. Lu; she’s Bai Lian’s homeroom teacher. But you might not be able to find her right now. You can come early tomorrow and wait for her.”

“Where did she go?” Bai Qiming retracted his gaze, frowning.

The Bai Family patriarch passed a thick red envelope to the guard.

“I’ll only tell you,” the guard said, holding a hand beside his face and lowering his voice mysteriously, “she’s gone to Bai Lian’s home with the Principal of Jiangjing University.”

“The Principal of Jiangjing University?”

“Yes.” That was all the guard said, refusing to share any further information with the Bai family members.

The Bai Family patriarch walked back to the car with heavy steps, and when he tried to call Ji Mulan again on his phone, he couldn’t get through. “Bai Qiming, look at the mess you’ve caused!”

At first, when Ji Mulan hung up on him and Bai Lian blocked him, the Bai Family patriarch was somewhat infuriated.

As the head of the family, he had never been so disregarded before. When other members of the Bai Family had gone to plead with Bai Shaoke, Guo Yueqing had treated them with utmost courtesy.

But now… hearing that the Principal of Jiangjing University had personally come to look for Bai Lian, all the patriarch of the Bai Family felt was regret.

The national top scholar, the Principal of Jiangjing University himself had come to Xiangcheng.
