Jiang Ling’er continued with a mocking smile, “Men who cheat on women when they have an engagement can be called irresponsible scum, and women who knowingly engage with such men while they are engaged are shameless mistresses. Do you understand now?”
The man remained silent.
The man had no idea how to respond. He was only there to earn money, and it had nothing to do with him which of them was the mistress.
Jiang Ling’er scornfully remarked, “Do you have any more questions, sir?”
The man dared not ask any further questions.
Wen Nuan was delighted, saying disdainfully, “Tsk, tsk, tsk… Miss Bai, did you hire this gentleman as a photographer or a reporter? Doesn’t he realize how embarrassing your current situation is?”
At this point, Wen Nuan deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, “Everyone knows who’s the mistress. You’re still dressed up for such an important occasion. Aren’t you annoyed that some people insist on talking nonsense? Aren’t you worried about your reputation?”
The crowd began discussing the situation again, as they could all see that Bai Xue intended to provoke Jiang Ling’er. If Jiang Ling’er had lost her composure, it would be quite embarrassing.
Bai Xue was nearly bursting with anger. She had originally planned to deal with Jiang Ling’er, but now she found herself being called a mistress.
Bai Xue said, “This gentleman, how did you get in here? Do you have an invitation? If you don’t, I’m asking you to leave immediately.”
The man was stunned. She was burning the bridge after crossing it?
Seeing the man’s stunned expression, Bai Xue’s anger grew. She didn’t want to see this person anymore. She immediately said, “Security, please escort this gentleman out.”
The man felt the urgency and concern that he hadn’t received payment yet. He had also offended Jiang Ling’er, and if he went back now, he’d be fired. Finding another job wouldn’t be easy either. Without an income, how would he support himself?
The man quickly said, “Miss Bai, what do you mean by this? You invited me, and 1 have the invitation right here.”
With that, he retrieved the invitation from his bag.
Bai Xue inwardly cursed him as a fool and signaled her assistant.
The assistant understood Bai Xue’s intention and took the invitation, pretending to examine it closely. She then said, “Miss Bai, this is a high-quality imitation.”
The man was infuriated, “A high-quality imitation? Look carefully, don’t make false accusations. Miss Bai personally gave this to me.”
Bai Xue hadn’t even paid him and now she was trying to cut off his lifeline? This b*tch was truly underhanded.
Jiang Ling’er burst into laughter. The assistant’s face froze.
Everyone in the room was intelligent enough to see through Bai Xue’s flimsy excuse about the high-quality imitation.
However, Bai Xue’s tactics were so unrefined that it was clear she was trying to provoke the Jiang family’s heiress. Bai Xue had truly shown a remarkable lack of intelligence. If it weren’t for the sake of the Li family’s reputation, nobody would want to attend such a birthday banquet.
Bai Xue’s face turned extremely gloomy.
As her assistant, it was the assistant’s duty to be concerned for Bai Xue. The assistant immediately called for security, saying, “Security, come over here!”
Upon hearing this, the security personnel rushed over.
The assistant pointed at the man and said, “Please remove this person from the premises.”
Security turned to the man and said, “Sir, please leave.”
The man was very displeased, but he had some sense left. A wise person doesn’t swallow the immediate loss for the sake of petty revenge. It was not the wisest course of action.
Ultimately, the commotion ended with the man’s departure.
Bai Xue sighed lightly and said, “Ling’er, 1 know you hate me, but Li Yan and I truly love each other.”
Jiang Ling’er tilted her head, carelessly cleaning her ear without manners. She nonchalantly said, “Can you say something else? I’m getting sick of hearing that. Whether you two love each other or not, you were a mistress, and that’s a fact.”
A tinge of malice flashed in Bai Xue’s eyes. She retorted, “Ling’er, don’t put it so harshly. Even though you had an engagement with Li Yan, he never loved you, right?”
Jiang Ling’er remained nonchalant and said, “It doesn’t matter at all. There’s no connection now. You, on the other hand, need to stop explaining. No matter what, you were a mistress, and that’s a fact.”
After a brief pause, Jiang Ling’er continued, “What’s most important for you now isn’t showing off your love in front of everyone. It’s getting pregnant quickly. When the old man sees you’re pregnant, he might soften up and let you into the Li family. At that time, you can flaunt your happiness, and everyone will bless you because you’ve gained the Li family’s approval. Right now, showing off just makes you a joke.. After all, you don’t want to be a mistress forever, am I right?”
