His assistant replied, “Alright. Please wait for a while.”
His assistant turned around and walked out.
As soon as the door closed, Li Yan laughed bitterly. His eyes were empty, as if covered by haze. He suddenly understood that he had been toyed with for a long time.
Bai Xue left Li Yan’s company and pretended that nothing happened. She stood downstairs for a while, thinking that her boyfriend would chase after her. Even if he didn’t come out, perhaps he would ask his assistant to go after her.
She even prepared what to say. However, neither Li Yan nor his assistant came out.
She panicked, but she knew that she shouldn’t cause trouble anymore. She was afraid that she would appear unreasonable and immature to Li Yan.
After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and called Jiang Jun.
About half an hour later, Bai Xue and Jiang Jun met in a private room of a Western restaurant.
Bai Xue took a bite of the mashed potato and said, “Brother Jun, did I disturb you?”
Jiang Jun said with an elegant smile, “It’s lunchtime anyway. By the way, Little Xue, why did you suddenly ask me out for a meal?”
In truth, Old Master Jiang had suspended Jiang Jun from work for two months. However, Jiang Jun didn’t want Bai Xue to know this, afraid that his mother’s words would come true.
Bai Xue sighed. “Brother Jun, Ling’er also got first place in the city competition. How did she get so good?”
Jiang Jun was stunned. ‘She got first place again? Even the heavens are helping her?’
He ate a piece of steak and said, “I don’t know the details, but since she was young, Old Master Jiang has arranged everything for her.”
Bai Xue said, “Brother Jun, how come you don’t know? If she really gets into the top three in the country, what will you do then? You have to think of a solution!”
Her face was full of worry. She thought inwardly, ‘Does that sl*t, Jiang Ling’er, really have no flaws?’
Seeing Bai Xue’s expression, Jiang Jun felt warm in his heart. He asked with a smile, “Are you concerned about me, Little Xue?”
Bai Xue was stunned. She looked at Jiang Jun and said, “Brother Jun, if 1 wasn’t worried about you, why would I suddenly ask you out for a meal? Do you have a plan already?”
‘Maybe this fool can deal with Jiang Ling’er for good.’
Jiang Jun felt awkward, so he immediately ate a mouthful of steak. Old Master Jiang had officially sidelined him, and his mother had no intention of forgiving him because of that slap. Now, he was all alone and could only wait for doomsday.
After a long silence, he said, “Little Xue, you don’t need to worry about me. After all, I’m the eldest grandson of the Jiang family. The old fart won’t do anything to me.”
Bai Xue said sadly, “You’re right, I’m just a busybody.”
Jiang Jun quickly explained, “Little Xue, don’t misunderstand. I know you care about me.”
Bai Xue sighed. “Brother Jun, didn’t you tell me that you have a lot of dirt on Jiang Ling’er that you haven’t released yet? If you take them out, perhaps Jiang Ling’er will be disqualified from the competition.”
Jiang Jun asked, “Are you saying I should leak everything I know about Ling’er now?”
He had also thought of ruining Jiang Ling’er’s reputation this way, but Old Master Jiang wouldn’t give him an opportunity.
Bai Xue felt guilty, but she didn’t want to ruin her pure and kind image. She pretended to be hesitant before saying, “Brother Jun, 1 know it’s not a good thing to do. Ling’er may be your sister, but you should always put yourself first. If you don’t do anything, you’re going to lose everything.”
Jiang Jun was touched. He said, “Little Xue, to be honest, Ling’er used to be foolish, bad-tempered, and easily influenced. But now, she’s different. Moreover, her temper is so much worse than before.”
Bai Xue was unsatisfied with his answer, but she didn’t let it show on her face. She asked, “Then what about the things you said before?”
Jiang Jun said with a smile, “Most of them weren’t true.”
Bai Xue knew that everything he said was fake, but she still pretended to be shocked. She said gloomily, “Brother Jun, you’ve sacrificed so much for me. Why can’t you do something for yourself? I know that what I said is terrible, but you have to do something. If your grandfather doesn’t relent, what will you do?”
Jiang Jun was also worried, but seeing Bai Xue concerned about him, he felt both happy and sad. He was happy that she cared about him, but he was sad because he didn’t want her to worry so much about him..
