Chapter 21
Going Overboard
Bai Xue remained silent, but her heart was filled with anger. No matter what, she was Li Yan’s girlfriend. If she lost face, it would be the same as losing face for the Li family. Wen Nuan had gone too far by scolding her so mercilessly.
Bai Xue subconsciously looked at Li Yu, hoping that he would help her. However, when she looked at Li Yu, she realized that Li Yu’s attention was on Jiang Ling’er.
Bai Xue panicked. Did Li Yu fall for that b*tch Jiang Ling’er? Impossible, Li Yu couldn’t have such bad taste, right?
Wen Nuan looked at Bai Xue’s pretentious behavior and frowned. Without showing any mercy, Wen Nuan said, “Bai Xue, stop putting on a show here. Get lost. The Wen Corporation doesn’t welcome you at all.”
Bai Xue’s face was filled with embarrassment. She couldn’t understand how a rich girl like Wen Nuan could be on the same side as Jiang Ling’er.
Although she was angry, Bai Xue immediately thought about the pros and cons. She knew that she would not gain any benefits if she continued to stay here. She would only be subjected to more embarrassment. Moreover, Li Yu seemed to have no intention of helping.
Bai Xue had no choice but to find an excuse to escape. Her heart was filled with resentment.
Wen Nuan was a little disappointed. Even such merciless humiliation did not make Bai Xue drop her act. Wen Nuan whispered, “Let’s see how long this pretentious b*tch will last.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled. It wasn’t easy to make Bai Xue give herself away.
Wen Nuan was a little angry. “I feel annoyed just by looking at this pretentious b*tch. She’s always looking for excuses to mock you. What’s her problem?”
“Even if she’s already Li Yan’s wife, she still has to consider the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family. Does she really think that the world belongs to Li Yan? What benefits can she get from doing this?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan’s angry face and said, “Alright, don’t be angry. Bai Xue has everything that she could ever wish for. Even if Bai Xue says she wants the stars in the sky, Li Yan will pluck them from the sky for her.”
At the mention of Li Yan, Wen Nuan frowned with a look of disgust. She grumbled, “Li Yan is an idiot! Just how much water has gone into his brain? Why is he so blind that he would fall for someone like Bai Xue?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I don’t know. Maybe Bai Xue is very charming.”
Wen Nuan said in disdain, “Forget it. I can’t see her charm, but she’s pretentious. She acts coquettish, and pitiful, and frames others. I’ve seen it more than once.”
Jiang Ling’er took a sip of her coffee and said, “Bai Xue has her secret talents hidden way up her sleeves. Just like me! All these years and you guys didn’t even notice mine!”
Wen Nuan patted Jiang Ling’er’s head and said, “Hmph… Are you secretly trying to brag? Besides, even I can see through Bai Xue’s poor acting skills. Is Li Yan blind?”
Jiang Ling’er said seriously, “Some men like smart girls. They think it’s fun and amusing. As long as they can control the girl, they will turn a blind eye to all this nonsense.”
Otherwise, how could Li Yan not know about Bai Xue’s true colors? All Li Yan needed to do was control Bai Xue. Bai Xue was nothing but a pretentious slut who stole another person’s man.
Wen Nuan said in disgust, “Not necessarily though. There are many other women out there who are as calculative and cunning as her. So why did he pick Bai Xue? They’re not compatible at all.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “That’s what you think, but perhaps they don’t think that. Even if the two of them have plenty of other people to choose from, they’ve decided that they’re a match made in heaven. So they don’t care if others don’t think they’re not a good match.”
Wen Nuan snorted coldly. Those two didn’t interest her at all. “L.O.L.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Xiaonuan, don’t be angry with someone unimportant. It’s not worth it, understand?”
Wen Nuan knew that Bai Xue was nothing but a clown and it was not worth getting angry at that pretentious little thing. However, she couldn’t bear to see all the nonsense that Bai Xue kept pulling.
Li Yu’s eyes were fixed on Jiang Ling’er the entire time the two friends were conversing.
This was the second time Li Yu had seen Jiang Ling’er, but the feeling this time was very different from the last time.
Jiang Ling’er was very beautiful, and her soul was very interesting. She was completely different from the rumors he’d heard of the Jiang family’s young miss.
Jiang Ling’er felt a little awkward being stared at by Li Yu. She looked at Li Yu and asked, “Mr. Li, why are you looking at me like that?”
Li Yu felt a little awkward and said with a smile, “I have a drama series that lacks a female lead. Are you interested?”
Jiang Ling’er said lazily, “I’m sorry, I don’t have the ability to play the female lead yet.”
Hearing Jiang Ling’er’s quick refusal and looking at her disdainful expression, Li Yu was a bit surprised. Li Yu unhappily said, “If you don’t even give it a try, how do you know you’re not good enough for the role?”
