The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 627: Are you trying to compete with Jiang University for talent? A meeting gift of 1

Chen Hong led them to the Yunhai Restaurant on the pedestrian street.

The Nanmei District and Rose District of the school were right next to each other, mainly areas where undergraduates were active, close to the west gate. Just outside the west gate was a snack street; the several of them didn’t need to take the school bus, only a few minutes’ walk was required.

The snack street was crowded with vendors, and at this time the road was filled with a mix of new and returning students. Tang Ming headed to a milk tea shop to line up and buy drinks for everyone.

Chen Hong went ahead to the restaurant to order dishes, “Wenyao, is the junior girl from arts switched to sciences?”

Xu Wenyao nodded, recalling that Assistant Xu had mentioned this to him the first time he was in Xiangcheng.

Chen Hong and his dorm mates often came to this restaurant for gatherings and knew the owner, who had reserved a spot for them in advance near the window. He handed Xu Wenyao the menu, asking him to order for Bai Lian and the others.

...
His gaze involuntarily turned toward the entrance, landing on Bai Lian. She had her hair half-tied up, wearing a beige linen maxi dress that seemed loose and lazy, with a belt of the same color casually tied around her waist. She was slightly tilting her head and speaking softly with Yang Lin—their composed demeanor, understated and modest, yet the straightness of her back revealed an innate pride.

The turn-back rate was two hundred percent.

She was different from those famous geniuses within their faculty; she seemed much more approachable.

In the past few days, Bai Lian had been seldom seen around the school. Chen Hong figured that it wouldn’t take long for that sunk thread on the Jiang University forum to resurface.

Finally, when Tang Ming and Ning Xiao arrived, Chen Hong asked them to add a few more dishes.

After the meal, Tang Ming and Ning Xiao planned to continue to the library to study.

Xu Wenyao’s club was recruiting new members, and as a founding member, he needed to return to handle some matters.

“By the way, juniors and freshers, old Xu was the president of last year’s debating society. He’s helping the new president who’s not very familiar with the business,” Chen Hong told Bai Lian and the others, “If you are interested in joining the debating society, you are always welcome.”

The debating society at Jiangjing University was highly prestigious and often organized intercollegiate debates.

Two of its regular members were guests on an online variety show that was very popular.

The debating society was very popular at Jiangjing University, along with the literary societies, attracting many applicants, making it difficult to get in.

Tang Ming was somewhat interested, and he went to discuss the details with Xu Wenyao.

Yang Lin said goodbye to Bai Lian and then nodded towards Xu Wenyao and Chen Hong before turning around and leaving, her silhouette exuding a cool detachment that made her seem difficult to approach.

Chen Hong had seen Yang Lin looking over sophomore books earlier in the morning. He withdrew his gaze and said to Tang Ming, “Your classmate is so cool.”

Ning Xiao and Yang Lin, one was cooler than the other.

He had only felt it from He Wen before.

Tang Ming: “Ah? … And what do you think of me?”

“You?” Chen Hong glanced back at Tang Ming’s stern face, let out a “Hey” and then smiled, “Junior, you must be joking with me.”

Tang Ming: “…”

The west gate intersection.

There was a lot of student and vehicle traffic coming and going.

Jiang Fulai got out of a very low-key car, parked it on the zebra crossing at the school entrance and set his eyes on the entrance to the pedestrian street.

In early September, the midday sun in Jiangjing was very intense, but it did nothing to slow down the steps of Jiangjing University new students.

Within the crowd, Jiang Fulai spotted Bai Lian.

Vehicles weren’t allowed to park by Jiang University for long, and he didn’t turn off the engine, but simply honked the horn.

Bai Lian opened the door to the passenger seat, sat down, and slowly fastened her seat belt before lazily leaning back against the seat. “Chang’an District Central Park, they’re over there,” she said.

She provided an address.

“Why there?” Jiang Fulai had the whole map of Jiangjing in his mind, he didn’t need to use navigation and immediately drove off.
