The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 618: 243 Jiang University Physics Department! Brother Jiang is Back (Second Update) _2

The people of great families have always been very united since ancient times. Back then, there was even the concept of collective punishment, where if one person committed a crime punishable by death, it would implicate nine generations of the family.

Shared glory and shared loss, this notion has been passed down to the present.

Ji Heng also greatly admired this half-brother of his and never thought of competing with him, knowing that with Mu Xiangguang there, the Mu Family would become even more prosperous.

It was only upon returning to Jiangjing that he heard a few words from Ji Shaojun.

Having taken a sip of tea, Mu Yining remarked, “You know, he still hasn’t gotten over it. That time, my brother didn’t want to go with the scientific expedition team. He felt he wasn’t experienced enough, but our father pulled some strings and forcefully got them in.”

Due to his interference, Mu Qiong, whom Mu Xiangguang had been grooming with devotion, died, and since then, he has almost never left the Buddhist temple.

...
Ji Heng was clearly hearing this for the first time as he set down his smoking pipe.

Compared to Mu Qiong’s death, he himself was the final executioner, and this was the real reason Mu Xiangguang could not forgive himself.

The atmosphere grew heavy upon mentioning this.

After finishing the meal, Mu Yining escorted Ji Heng and the others downstairs and had her driver take them back to Shanhai Apartment, “Be careful on the road.”

Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing were returning to their place and didn’t go back with Ji Heng.

Mu Yining called a Qingxin Building car to take Ji Shaojun back, and only after everyone had left did she return to her car. Pressing her temples, she asked, “Did Mu Zhao go to school today?”

Assistant Wang was driving, and he replied respectfully, “The young master said he’d go on the last day.”

Mu Zhao was also applying to Jiangjing University, but he was in the Economics Department.

Upon the mention of Jiang University, Assistant Wang drove to the intersection and slowly said, “Mr. Mu, Miss Bai is also at Jiangjing University.”

“What? She’s at Jiang University?” Mu Yining rolled down the window, feeling a bit more alert.

She had been observing Bai Lian for a long time that day.

Assistant Wang answered, “Yes, Jiang University Physics Department.”

As a member of the Mu Family, who didn’t know about the Physics Department at Jiang University?

Mu Qiong used to be in the Physics Department at Jiang University, participated in a direct Ph.D. program, and joined the scientific expedition team.

Listening to the familiar major, Mu Yining stared blankly out the window, “She actually got into Jiang University on her own, and it’s the Physics Department of Jiang University…”

As far as she knew, Bai Lian was also from Xiangcheng.

Mu Qiong had been receiving the finest education since he was young, but Mu Yining could guess the conditions Bai Lian faced in Xiangcheng without having to think about it.

“Do you think…” At the red light, Assistant Wang stopped the car, “If the master knows she’s in the Physics Department, will he come out?”

Mu Yining pulled herself back from her thoughts.

“I don’t know; the problem is not just my dad. Look, she has never visited the Mu Family either,” Mu Yining leaned back in her seat, suddenly looking up, “Does the butler know about this?”

She was inquiring whether the butler was aware of this situation.

Mu Yining’s focus had already shifted towards economics, and she didn’t understand the matters of the scientific community. The leading figures of the major research institutions were probably known only to Mu Xiangguang.

But without Mu Xiangguang coming out, there was nothing Mu Yining could do.

“He probably doesn’t know,” whispered Assistant Wang.

The registration period for Jiang University lasted three days, from the 29th to the 31st.

On the 31st, in the evening, Bai Lian returned to room 407 with her black computer and a small pot of succulents.

The door was ajar, and as she entered, two of her roommates were by the desk on the left side of the door, yelling frantically at the computer, “It’s not loading! Come on, come on! You’re Jiang University’s network, how can you be this bad?!”

“You’re a huge letdown, Jiang University network.”

“I will never choose Jiang University again.”

The voice was hysterical.
