Jiang Ling’er turned to Bai Xue with a confident smile and proudly declared, “Miss Bai, both of us will eagerly await your invitation card.”
Bai Xue felt a sudden unease when Jiang Ling’er accepted so readily.
She put on a pretense of cheerfulness and responded, “That’s wonderful! 1 was worried you might decline, but now I’m relieved. 1 hope we can become good friends through this.”
Jiang Ling’er grinned and teased, “Sounds like a beautiful scene. You should start imagining it first.”
Bai Xue was left speechless.
Attempting to maintain a forced smile, Bai Xue commented, “Ling’er, I’ve been following the news recently and just learned that Jiang Jun isn’t your biological brother. No wonder he treats you so poorly.”
Wen Nuan interjected coldly, “Heh… Jiang Jun acted that way because of you. Back then, when you were involved with him, Li Yan wasn’t in the picture yet.”
Bai Xue’s face paled as she defended herself, “Miss Wen, I met Jiang Jun first, but I’ve always regarded him as a brother.”
“Hmm?” Jiang Ling’er smiled slyly and quipped, “Now that your ‘brother’ has fallen from grace, why don’t you extend a helping hand?”
“I’m afraid Li Yan will misunderstand, so I’m refraining from contacting him,” Bai Xue explained.
Wen Nuan mocked, “Heh… Back when Jiang Jun was the young master of the Jiang Family, you weren’t worried that Li Yan would misunderstand. But now that he’s nothing, you’re suddenly concerned about misunderstandings? That’s quite amusing.”
“I knew you’d misunderstand,” Bai Xue sighed helplessly. “But it’s fine, I’m used to it.”
Wen Nuan’s expression darkened. What the f*ck! This Bai Xue had the knack of always painting herself as the victim and projecting the image that everyone was constantly unjustly targeting her.
Jiang Ling’er, observing Wen Nuan being reprimanded, couldn’t resist taunting, “Why make things complicated for yourself? You shouldn’t bother reasoning with someone shameless. Look, you’re embarrassed now. Let’s not forget, she’s so innocent, she’s still a virgin!”
When Wen Nuan heard this, she smiled and said, “That’s right. How could I forget that she’s an internet celebrity and a pure and innocent girl?”
Bai Xue’s expression turned sour.
Jiang Ling’er added, “It’s not too late to recall that now.”
Wen Nuan nodded and said, “You’re right, it’s never too late. Ling’er, what do you think the online keyboard warriors would think if they found out a certain someone is a home-wrecker?”
Panicked, Bai Xue retorted, “Miss Wen, how many times must 1 explain? Li Yan and I are truly in love; that’s why we’re together.”
Jiang Ling’er scoffed mockingly, “Sure, no need to emphasize your ‘true love.’ Morally speaking, you’ll always be the other woman. Even if you secure the position, you’ll still be just that.”
Bai Xue was left speechless. Though her eyes betrayed a hint of malice, she refrained from speaking further.
Jiang Ling’er, that witch! Her engagement with Li Yan had already been annulled, yet she still dared to be so arrogant.
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Bai Xue’s despondent expression and said, “Miss Bai, we have a busy schedule, so we won’t hang around any longer. Goodbye.”
Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan departed, sharing laughter as they walked away. Bai Xue remained rooted in place, seething with anger. Jiang Ling’er, that woman, had transformed into a completely different person after the school incident.
Previously, she had been just the Jiang family’s daughter, nothing more. But now, she was actively outshining Bai Xue at every turn. How could Bai Xue tolerate such a situation?
In the past, Bai Xue would have immediately sought revenge, but now, her confidence wavered. This time, Li Yan had only agreed to host the birthday party because Bai Xue had pleaded with him. Regardless, she needed to make the most of the party to secure her victory.
Sitting in the car, Wen Nuan wore a satisfied smile and remarked, “Without Jiang Jun to support her, Bai Xue has lost a crucial pillar of strength.” “Nuanuan, do you think Bai Xue will invite Jiang Jun?” Jiang Ling’er inquired.
In the original story, Bai Xue had invited Jiang Jun to join in humiliating the protagonist. The memory of the protagonist seeking help from Jiang Jun, only to be rebuffed, still angered Jiang Ling’er.
“Jiang Jun is a complete nobody now. Bai Xue won’t bother with him,” Wen Nuan stated with disdain.
Jiang Ling’er chimed in, “Actually, even if Bai Xue doesn’t invite him, Jiang Jun might still show up. Remember, Jiang Jun is Bai Xue’s devoted lackey.”
Wen Nuan sneered, “Absolutely true. Jiang Jun is the ultimate yes-man to Bai Xue. He’d do anything she asked, even if it meant risking his life to attend her birthday party.”
“Exactly!” Jiang Ling’er agreed.
In the novel, even though the Jiang family eventually became part of Li Yan’s empire, Jiang Jun remained fiercely loyal to Bai Xue, continuing to harbor deep affection for her. Not even the tragic fate of the original protagonist had stirred a hint of compassion in Jiang Jun’s heart..
