Chapter 109: Sabotage Your Own Future
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Little Six cast a concerned look at Old Wang. They had been friends for many years, and he felt it was his duty to offer some advice. Speaking earnestly, he said, “You’re disregarding the potential consequences of your actions. You might find momentary satisfaction in satisfying your vanity, but what are you truly gaining from all this? You’re essentially sabotaging your own future.”
Old Wang dismissively responded, “It’s not that serious. We have freedom of speech in our country, after all.”
Little Six, seeing Old Wang’s unapologetic attitude, asserted, “Whether there are consequences or not depends on whether someone decides to deal with you.”
Old Wang chuckled and said, “Bai Xue isn’t as bad as you make her out to be.”
Little Six straightforwardly stated, “Good or bad is not my concern. As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I don’t care.”
Old Wang fell silent for a long time and then asked, “Little Six, I can tell that you never liked Bai Xue from the beginning. Can you tell me why?”
Little Six replied indifferently, “There’s no specific reason. Some things she does just don’t sit right with me.”
Old Wang, still puzzled, asked, “But she’s such a good girl. Why do you find fault with her?”
Little Six said bluntly, “It’s because of her methods. They are too low and cunning.”
This statement angered Old Wang, and he retorted, “But she just did one mistake! Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?”
Old Wang couldn’t understand why people were so fixated on one small mistake when everyone makes mistakes. He felt that Bai Xue was being unfairly targeted.
Little Six, noticing that Old Wang still seemed unrepentant, said, “If Bai Xue had succeeded, Jiang Ling’er’s future would have been ruined. Jiang Ling’er is the daughter of the Jiang family, and if her reputation is tarnished, it will affect the family’s image and development. In your eyes, is Bai Xue always right, and anyone she targets deserves to suffer?”
Old Wang retorted coldly, “Bai Xue would never harm anyone like that.”
Little Six looked at Old Wang’s defiance and stated, “It’s not about whether she would or wouldn’t harm someone like that; it’s that she didn’t succeed. You should wake up to that reality.”
Old Wang sarcastically retorted, “So, you’re saying Jiang Ling’er did nothing wrong in this situation?”
Little Six responded, “Bai Xue used underhanded tactics to harm Jiang Ling’er, and Jiang Ling’er was simply retaliating. What’s wrong with that?”
Old Wang asserted, “Jiang Ling’er attempted to steal her boyfriend.”
Little Six replied, “You can believe that if you want, but don’t go spreading rumors everywhere. It’s just spreading falsehoods with no benefit.”
Old Wang, seemingly indifferent, said, “If Jiang Ling’er is willing to do it, she should be prepared for people to talk about her.”
Little Six responded with a hint of sarcasm, “Then let me ask you, who told you that Jiang Ling’er is the third party in the relationship? Was it Bai Xue or Li Yan?”
Old Wang hesitated to answer, his brow furrowed.
Little Six emphasized, “It’s all hearsay with no evidence. Spreading rumors like this is harmful, do you understand? Moreover, the people involved haven’t made any statements, and you’re already making baseless accusations. Aren’t you afraid of causing harm?”
Old Wang, growing defensive, said, “But it’s not baseless. People are talking about it everywhere. Don’t they deserve an explanation?”
Little Six sighed and said, “You guys are spreading unfounded rumors everywhere, which only emboldens Bai Xue and encourages her to continue using these underhanded tactics. Are you absolutely certain that Jiang Ling’er is the third party?”
Old Wang insisted, “Of course she is.”
Little Six merely sneered in response.
Unhappy with the tone Little Six was taking, Old Wang said, “I really don’t like your condescending attitude.”
Little Six, lying on his bed, turned away and didn’t respond to Old Wang.
Feeling frustrated, Old Wang couldn’t help but wonder if this was still his friend. Bai Xue was such a wonderful girl, and he couldn’t fathom why Little Six had such a strong aversion to her.
Unable to tolerate Little Six’s silence any longer, Old Wang stood up and left the dormitory.
In the library, Old Wang was restless. He randomly picked up a book, opened it, and began to read. He was lost in thought for a long time until someone suddenly took the book from his hands. Annoyed, he initially thought someone was playing a prank on him. However, when he looked up, he was met with Bai Xue’s innocent face and a gentle smile, which made his heart skip a beat.
Indulgently, Old Wang said, “Little Xue, it’s you. I thought someone was playing a prank. You’re quite mischievous.”
Bai Xue playfully licked her lips and whispered, “Big Brother Wang, what were you thinking about? You were so absorbed in your thoughts that I sat across from you for several minutes, and you didn’t even notice me..”
