Lin Sheng sighed and looked at Wen Nuan and Jiang Ling’er. “1 never thought that the two of you could be so humble.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I usually watch food shows, and I often buy ingredients to cook at home. But when I eat alone, 1 always feel like something is missing. So this time, 1 decided to invite you guys on this food trip.”
Sun Qiang kicked a random stone on the ground and said, “So is this a blessing in disguise?”
Wang Shuai said, “Of course! If we didn’t approach Ling’er with the intention to pick a fight, we wouldn’t have known that the legendary bad girl is in fact so generous.”
Lin Sheng and Sun Qiang were surprised by Wang Shuai’s words.
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “1 don’t care about what you thought of me in the past. All I know is that we’re all friends from now on.”
It would be exhausting to keep pursuing things that happened in the past.
Lin Sheng and Sun Qiang looked at each other. They felt that they were too narrow-minded. Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, was such a magnanimous person.
“Senior Lin,” Jiang Ling’er suddenly said, “I heard that you’ve been pursuing the school belle, Zhu Yutong, recently. Is that true?”
Lin Sheng said in disgust, “Of course not! It’s all a misunderstanding. The school belle is pretty, but she’s not my type.”
Wen Nuan said doubtfully, “Really? I’ve heard a lot of rumors going around about it. I thought you were really going after her.”
“Why haven’t 1 heard about this?” Jiang Ling’er frowned.
“How would you know about this if you don’t gossip every day?” Wen Nuan said.
Jiang Ling’er replied, “I’ve been way too busy recently. 1 even have to head over to the filming set later.”
“You’re a woman, so why are you working so hard?” Wang Shuai asked in confusion. “Besides, 1 don’t think you lack money at all!”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I just enjoy acting. It’s very interesting to play different roles and figure out the personality of the characters. I’ve decided to work harder while I’m still young. And when I’m old, I’ll have achievements to brag about.”
Wang Shuai nodded his head in surprise. Jiang Ling’er was really amazing. Women nowadays were amazingly independent. They put in a lot of effort from a young age to improve themselves so that their lives would become increasingly meaningful as they grew older.
Sun Qiang asked curiously, “Have you filmed anything yet?”
Jiang Ling’er said awkwardly, “I’m quite ashamed to say this, but when I go to the filming set, I just watch how others act and learn from them. I don’t have any big projects yet, so 1 only play some small roles from time to time.”
Sun Qiang looked at Wen Nuan and said, “How about you, Junior Wen? Have you landed some roles already?”
Wen Nuan said, “My big brother said I should focus on my studies. Even if there’s a good opportunity, he won’t let me take it. He told me he would just prepare a suitable role for me in the future.”
Sun Qiang felt awkward. ‘The Wen family is really rich.’
Just like that, the group finally arrived at school while chatting about all sorts of things.
After saying goodbye, they went back to their classrooms.
At 8 pm, Jiang Ling’er left the filming set and returned home.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the two people she didn’t want to see the most.
Although the two of them didn’t speak, Jiang Ling’er had already guessed what they were talking about.
Lin Lin’s face was dark as she tried to suppress the anger in her heart. She said viciously, “Don’t you know what time is it? Why are you only home now?”
When Lin Lin heard that Jiang Ling’er had made it through the competition’s preliminary round yesterday, she was so shocked that she thought it was a dream. When she heard that Jiang Ling’er’s parents were called in to school for cheating, Lin Lin thought that Ling’er would definitely be punished.
Today, however, she received another piece of news that made her break down. Not only was Jiang Ling’er not in trouble, but she also got first place in the competition. Many students participated in the competition, but only Jiang Ling’er scored full marks. The school even made Bai Xue publicly apologize to Jiang Ling’er for framing her.
Jiang Ling’er suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Lin coldly.
Lin Lin was so frightened that she lost her bearings.
“Jiang Ling’er, so what if you got first place?” Jiang Jun gritted his teeth. “I can’t believe you actually forced Bai Xue to apologize publicly. Do you have no shame?”
Jiang Ling’er said coldly, “You have to apologize when you make a mistake. Even Li Yan wasn’t as agitated as you. Who do you think you are?”
Jiang Jun’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He said, “I think you’re asking for a beating!”
Jiang Jun was confident that Bai Xue reported Jiang Ling’er to the school for his sake, so that he could continue staying in the Jiang family. Otherwise, why would she take the risk?
Jiang Ling’er ignored the killing intent in Jiang Jun’s eyes. She smirked and said, “Aren’t you the one asking for a beating? Hmph. You should pack up your things and prepare to leave. You still have a week before the city exam, followed by the provincial exam, and finally the national exam. You’ve spent so many years trying to get rid of me, but I’m about to get rid of you in just a few months.. Satisfying, isn’t it?”
