The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685: 272 Mysterious Shanhai Residential Complex, A Table for One (Second Update)_2

Thinking of Chi Lu’s chef’s hat, Pu Xiaohan paused slightly. If only others could take a leaf out of Jiang’s brother’s book and exhibit a little elegance and charm…

Outside the door, Bai Lian and Jiang Fulai came in.

Pu Xiaohan was struck with awe—yes, there was an air of grandeur!

Bai Lian had a fondness for the breakfast at Kangyu Tower, which itself boasted a century-old heritage and had produced several imperial chefs. Their breakfasts were delivered from there every weekend.

From Monday to Friday, Ming Dongheng also wanted to deliver breakfast to Bai Lian. The chefs at Kangyu Tower, of course, wanted to please Miss Bai even more.

But she had refused them, preferring the cafeteria while at school.

...

After all, she still held the canteen card from Master Jiang.

Since then, Ming Dongheng had lost a morning task each day, which left him quite desolate.

There was also a food container beside them, filled with freshly prepared crab roe buns. Ji Heng and Lance had not yet woken up so early, so Ming Dongheng had saved them for the two of them.

“The buns are very fresh today.” Bai Lian said as she held the chopsticks, having eaten two more crab roe buns than usual today and not touched the other snacks as much.

Ming Dongheng picked up his small phone, made a note, and instructed Jiang Xijue to dispatch two more teams to procure crabs.

It was indeed the right season for enjoying crabs.

These fresh items might not yet have appeared at the Jiang Family home, but here at Bai Lian’s place, they were already on the table.

Days flew by.

Lance’s medical summit came to an end on Tuesday. During this period, instead of staying at the state guesthouse, he lived with Ji Heng; there were many waiting for him there.

After attending the last summit, even the assistant who drove Lance to Shanhai Apartment found it surprising.

One would think, given Lance’s status, many in Jiangjing would want to meet him.

Wherever he was, there were always many people lying in wait, many of whom were business tycoons with hired personnel on the lookout.

Oddly enough, there were none at Shanhai Apartment. This complex maintained a state of tranquility.

The assistant escorted Lance to Building Five and saw Lance confidently get out of the car without seeking any protection. “Professor, please be wary of the crowd,” he cautioned.

Lance waved it off, unconcerned, “No problem, don’t worry about me.”

The assistant, watching his back, trembled with apprehension. Thankfully, no one came forward.

As he drove out of the complex, he noticed two security guards at the gate, both tall and burly.

Even those sweeping the streets in the complex flexed noticeable muscles when raising their arms. The assistant glanced carefully—clearly, this place was filled with capable individuals.

Then he called someone from MTR, expressing his admiration, “This complex is really incredible. It’s quieter here, Professor Lance will have better rest.”

Whenever Lance was free, he would join Ji Heng, taking their chessboard to the nearby park to challenge the students of Jiang University.

The Jiang University forum even had a post about two mischievous old legends playing Go in the college town park, unbeatable by any gifted student.

Many talented students were eager to test themselves, making the morning hours bustling with activity.
