The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 443: 174 Bai Lian’s True Strength_1
 

“`

The words at the top of the mobile screen drifted past.

Xu Nanjing had also been tormented by this app and once doubted whether Jiang Fulai and Jiang Xijue were even human.

He fell silent for a moment before putting his phone back in his pocket. Then, with a touch of impoliteness, he asked, “Bai Lian, could I have a look at your question bank?”

Bai Lian: “…”

She handed her phone to Xu Nanjing.

Xu Nanjing respectfully didn’t tap anywhere else but opened the overall rankings, saw the familiar “L,” checked his familiar following list, and finally opened Bai Lian’s homepage—

NO.192 Bai Jian 23875

From the get-go, Ming Dongheng had told Xu Nanjing a few things about Bai Lian. The Xu Family, out of respect for Jiang Xijue and those close to Jiang Fulai, didn’t conduct extensive investigations.

Ming Dongheng had said that Bai Lian’s grades were average. Xu Nanjing believed it until now.

“Nanjing,” Xiao Bingwen stopped the car at the intersection, and seeing that Xu Nanjing hadn’t come over for a while, he came over to urge him. Upon seeing Bai Lian, he greeted her politely, “Miss Bai.”

Xu Nanjing slowly looked up.

And returned the phone to Bai Lian.

“What’s the matter with you?” Seeing Xu Nanjing’s unusual expression, Xiao Bingwen asked. He knew Xu Nanjing was there to talk to Bai Lian about tutoring.

Xu Nanjing took a deep breath, “Her ranking on the prep camp app is 192.”

“What?” Xiao Bingwen looked at Bai Lian’s phone in astonishment.

Bai Lian nodded her head, “Yes, 192, what about it?”

Even Tang Ming had made it into the top fifty. Bai Lian felt that compared to others, her ranking was also within a normal range.

“Schools here probably don’t understand the significance of this ranking. Jiangjing University is open to the whole world, and the foreign exchange students inside are often lured by other students to stay in Jiangjing, making the competition fierce.” Being from Jiangjing himself, Xiao Bingwen withdrew his gaze in shock. “Therefore, on the app, domestic students who make it into the top five hundred have a chance to get into Jiangjing University, and the top two hundred…”

“It means you’re not only capable of getting into Jiangjing University but also of choosing a very good major.”

Both these guys had a rough time getting into Jiangjing University, coming from a business background.

Especially in Xiao Bingwen’s eyes, being from a place like Xiangcheng with less developed teaching resources and information, breaking into the top two hundred meant she had an incredibly daunting talent.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian understood the reason.

“You’re that strong?” Xu Nanjing clicked his tongue and came back to his senses, “I’m actually the one benefiting. When you apply for a research position in the future, you’ll go straight to our senior management.”

He casually made a promise to Bai Lian.

Which made Xiao Bingwen take another look at Bai Lian.

Bai Lian gripped her phone but gave no response, only asking Xu Nanjing, “What did you need me for today?”

Xu Nanjing: “…Just passing by to check on you.”

Tutoring?

He was too embarrassed to say it.

Bai Lian: “…”

Such a random visit, even more outrageous than Young Master Jiang.

“Alright, then I’m heading to a classmate’s place.” Seeing that Xu Nanjing had no particular business, Bai Lian waved to him and turned to go to the Zhang Family’s home.

Xu Nanjing stood there, watching her walk away.

After Bai Lian left, Xiao Bingwen exhaled, “Nanjing, she really is…”

“No surprise,” Xu Nanjing murmured, “192… Should’ve figured it out long ago. Anyone Young Master Jiang takes an interest in, where’s there not a freak?”

How could those two know that Bai Lian hadn’t even finished this month’s questions? This 192 ranking was merely the result of Bai Lian refreshing the app for one day after a rest on her weekend.

Thinking this was Bai Lian’s limit, they had no idea that this wasn’t her true strength.

Today, the Zhang Family didn’t have much product to unload. Only Bai Lian and Pu Xiaohan had come, and everyone else had gone back to do homework.

The two sat in the courtyard eating the fruit washed by Mother Zhang.

“Xiaolu will probably finish shooting by the end of the month,” Mother Zhang said to Bai Lian with a smile. When she mentioned Yan Lu, her eyes shone with pleasure, “She’ll be back in Xiangcheng after the shoot.”

Yan Lu had been filming for nearly four months. Her acting skills and foundation were solid, and she carried herself well. It was only her line delivery that sometimes couldn’t keep up.

She held her own even against seasoned actors.

If it had been up to her alone, her scenes would have been completed long ago, but due to other actors, it was delayed until today.

Bai Lian finished a cherry and nodded, “I see.”

Keeping diligent with her studies, Yan Lu usually didn’t bother Bai Lian. Bai Lian hadn’t checked on Yan Lu’s progress recently, but Mother Zhang had seen her several times.

“She and Xiaoze owe a lot to you,” Mother Zhang looked at Bai Lian and then at Pu Xiaohan. “And you guys, her classmates…”

Mother Zhang didn’t continue, but Pu Xiaohan and Bai Lian understood.

“Auntie, Yan Lu and him, they’ve done nothing wrong,” Pu Xiaohan handled her camera, filming the backyard. She spoke unhurriedly, “And… Zhang Shize, he’s a good person.”
