Chapter 548: Bustling Jiangjing, Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage Principal Shi (Two Chapters Combined)_1

Jiangjing University was always bustling at night.

Even if some had finished their exams, they didn’t go home, and the place was crowded, especially at Celebrity Statue Square, which was always lively.

Xu Wenyao wasn’t surprised to see Bai Lian staring at the first row of statues.

After all, they were the founder and the first female graduate of Jiangjing University, whom even the president would come to pay respects to regardless of the weather.

Next to them, Ji Mulan and Old Lady Xu were still standing under that huge rock, a dark brown stone 4.17 meters tall and 9.82 meters wide, with “Jiangjing University” inscribed on the upper left, and the much smaller words “Honorary Alumni” written below.

Each name would be recorded in the history of the university.

When He Wen first entered Jiangjing University as the top student, nobody paid attention to him, and his advisor pushed him hard to graduate, until he became an honorary alumnus and swept the whole Jiangjing University.

Most of those who could become honorary alumni were from Jiangjing. From a young age, they received top-notch education. While others were still learning 123, they were immersed in various summer camps and lectures influenced by their parents and seniors.

The case of He Wen was truly unique.

The butler followed behind Old Lady Xu, sighing, “This is the ceiling of intelligence.”

They were still looking at the huge rock, but Xu Wenyao, who was used to it, asked Bai Lian, “Do you want to check out other places? Our university’s library is huge, with a large collection of books and seven canteens…”

“No, thanks.” Bai Lian withdrew her gaze, “I’ll come back to read in a couple of days.”

She had long heard of the Jiangjing University library, with its vast collection of books – a wonderful place.

Bai Lian wasn’t the least bit curious about Jiangjing University; she hadn’t even taken out her phone.

The last time she came to Jiangjing, she didn’t visit the university. Xu Wenyao thought she wouldn’t enter until school started, but she came as soon as she arrived in Jiangjing this time.

The group was getting ready to eat. Bai Lian and Xu Wenyao were chatting at the back, and whatever they were talking about, no one else could understand.

Old Lady Xu walked in front with Xu En, talking to him, “Shuyun said she saw that third young master.”

“Xu the Third Young Master?” Xu En’s expression changed slightly.

Old Lady Xu couldn’t help but sigh. For her, this news was even better than Xu Zhiyue getting into Jiangjing University, “It has to be the Qi family’s circle to match up with them.”

Xu En didn’t speak, for it involved the Qi family, and… Xu Wenyao had nothing to do with the Qi family.

Something occurred to Old Lady Xu, “Why didn’t you arrange accommodation for Bai Lian?”

Shanhai Apartment, Old Lady Xu really didn’t favor it.

“I did arrange it,” Xu En glanced back, “but she didn’t want it.”

Those matters weren’t of particular concern to the old lady. She fidgeted with her Buddha Beads, lowering her voice, “Have you… mentioned our Xu family household registration to Mu Lan?”

“You don’t know what kind of person Alian is?” Xu En’s face was stern, but mindful that Bai Lian was behind him, he did not raise his voice, “Initially, when I suggested registering her in our household, you were unwilling; now you want her on our family registry? Mom, have you forgotten the call you made to her?”

Xu En would have been better off not mentioning it.

The old lady’s expression grew stiff at the memory. How could she have known back then what would happen today?

She knew very well what Bai Lian was like: she would take the soft approach but resist pressure. If she had followed Xu En’s wishes back then, Bai Lian might have really entered the Xu family’s household register.

Today’s top national scholar was also a member of their Xu family.

But it was of no use to talk about these things now.

Shanhai Apartment.

A fiery red sports car was parked right in front of the building.

Most residents of the apartment were students of Jiangjing University. Although Jiangjing was a captivating city of wealth, the kind of ostentation that Shanhai Apartment displayed with a sports car fully decorated with “8s” was unprecedented.

Quite a few people stopped to take pictures.

Xu Nanjing took off his sunglasses, stepping out of the driver’s seat. Used to his privilege as the Third Young Master Xu, he couldn’t be bothered to find a parking spot, so he handed the keys to the security guard and directly went upstairs.

Bai Lian was in room 303.

He got out of the elevator and surveyed the surroundings, not very satisfied with the environment here; he reached out to ring the doorbell.

As the door opened, he was greeted by a cold face.

It was Jiang Fulai.

Xu Nanjing wasn’t surprised, but he was taken aback at the sight of a cardboard box in Jiang Fulai’s hands. After a moment of hesitation, he followed Jiang Fulai inside.

Bai Lian’s living room was not small, about ten square meters.

Ming Dongheng was moving a flowerpot to the balcony.

Jiang Fulai held a pair of scissors and nonchalantly snipped open the tape on a cardboard box, which contained things Bai Lian had brought over.

As soon as it was opened, Jiang Fulai saw a swinging pendulum ball.

Bai Lian had brought both the pendulum ball and a small blue bottle.

Cold white fingertips lingered on the edge of the box for a moment before he moved the box of miscellaneous items to the study.
