The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 629: Are you trying to compete with Jiang University for talent? A meeting gift of 3
 

“I’ve looked over the plan,” nodded the principal of Jiangyin, “It’s a very novel approach.”

He minimized the Word document and opened a video.

It was a clip of Bai Lian that Pu Xiaohan had just recorded.

“This is ‘The White Robed Journey,’ why isn’t it the complete clip…” As soon as the principal of Jiangyin heard it, he recognized it, although the video showed Pu Xiaohan from the side, he could vaguely make out Bai Lian’s face, “…the girl who came to the school with Yan Lu before, our school’s new student this year?”

Being a music school, how could he not know how well this piece of “The White Robed Journey” was played?

Pu Xiaohan’s video included students playing the pipa and flute from Jiangyin, so he subconsciously assumed Bai Lian was also one of their students.

“No.”

“Not?” The principal looked at Dean Jian and said, “You realize Jiangyin hasn’t seen such a talented student of traditional instruments for a long time, right!?”

Dean Jian took off his own headphones and shook his head: “You think I haven’t considered it?… But have you thought about how the admissions office at Jiang University would feel about us recruiting their top Gaokao scorer?”

He wasn’t afraid that Jiang University’s principal would band together with the University of Political Science and Law to send Jiangyin a cease-and-desist letter.

The principal of Jiangyin: “…”

The central garden in Chang’an District.

At the gateway, Jiang Fulai took out his mobile phone to open WeChat, while the sugar gourd seller nervously produced a QR code from his pocket for him to scan.

Jiang Fulai bowed his head, the sunlight casting his profile in an icy hue; after scanning the code, he leisurely picked up two sugar gourds.

One was for Bai Lian.

The other was for appeasing Jiang Xiaoniao when picking him up from school later.

Bai Lian was standing in the shade of a tree at the intersection waiting for him, her canvas bag was placed on the passenger seat of his car, having taken only her phone and folding fan with her, she was speaking with Ji Heng on the phone.

In her other hand, she casually flicked a jade-fan open and shut.

Old men passing by the gate gazed curiously at the folding fan in her hand.

When Jiang Fulai approached, Bai Lian had just finished her call, and he handed her one of the sugar gourds.

Bai Lian pocketed her phone and took the sugar gourd.

She leisurely browsed through her phone; Kong Wei had sent a message in the dormitory group chat.

Kong Wei: [@Bai Lian@Xun Qian, our advisor wants us to gather at 7 p.m. tonight in room 302 of the Physics Building. Both of you come back early, okay~]

Kong Wei, Bai Lian, and Xun Qian were all in Theoretical Physics Class 2. On the first day of school, they typically needed to assemble for a large meeting.

Yu Simin was in the Plasma Class.

Bai Jian: [1]

Xun Qian: [Thanks]

“Let’s go,” said Jiang Fulai after she finished replying, looking briefly at the time, “Jiang Xiaoniao will be getting out of school.”

Jiang He didn’t go to school in the morning until Bai Lian sent him a message that she would pick him up in the evening; only then did he head to school.

A private elementary school in Xingjiang District.

4:30 p.m.

The road outside the elementary school was lined with a multitude of nanny cars and luxury vehicles.

Jiang Fulai’s black car seemed out of place among them; he parked at the corner and walked with Bai Lian to the school gate. Both tall and elegant, Bai Lian’s beige cotton-linen dress flattered her figure, while Jiang Fulai’s shirt was tailor-made by Ji Heng.

The two stood out amidst the crowd.

Some parents wanted to greet them, but were deterred by Jiang Fulai’s unapproachable demeanor.

Jiang He was in Class 1 of the first grade.

The first-grade students were the first to come out, led by their teacher who held up a sign and guided a line of kids out, all with their hands on the shoulders of the child in front. The kids, despite it being their first day, were in high spirits.

They looked very much like elementary students.

As Bai Lian wondered if Jiang He would come out looking as playfully silly as the others, she saw the last child in the line of Class 1.

He wore a dark blue school uniform and carried a backpack.

Hands in his pockets and chin up, his eyes like dark glass marbles coldly regarded the students in front, with a touch of “why am I in this stupid line?” in his demeanor.

Bai Lian couldn’t help but laugh when she imagined a certain notebook.

Hearing the barely audible laughter, Jiang Fulai’s lips tightened slightly, and he collected Jiang He from the teacher, his stern jaw relaxing a bit.

Upon seeing Bai Lian, Jiang He automatically moved to her side, took hold of her dress, and initiated auto-follow.

Jiang Fulai disdainfully held the sugar gourd destined for Jiang He between two fingers.

On seeing Jiang He, he passed the sugar gourd over.

Jiang Fulai drove back to Shanhai Apartment. Now that he was back, Jiang He didn’t have to return to the Jiang Family house.
