Chapter 224:1 Hate Jiang Jun
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bai Xue felt very embarrassed. She hated Jiang Jun so much. It was all Jiang Jun’s fault.
She held her emotions back and managed to force a smile, saying, “I’m okay, just a bit of an ankle twist.”
As she took her seat, Bai Xue couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan. Their presence only added to her frustration.
Wen Nuan, in a hushed tone, remarked, “It’s quite a limp. I mean, have you seen someone walk like that? It looks like she can barely close her legs!” Jiang Ling’er cleared her throat and whispered, “Who cares? Maybe she made a deal with Jiang Jun to defame me.”
Wen Nuan’s expression darkened. “1 heard Brother Lin say that Jiang Jun was behind the trending posts that were shitting on you. Could it have something to do with Bai Xue?”
Jiang Ling’er offered a reassuring smile. “Perhaps, but let’s not dwell on that for now.”
A compassionate student noticed Bai Xue’s discomfort and asked, “Do you need to visit the infirmary or the hospital?”
Bai Xue replied, “Thank you, but it’s not too serious. I’ll see if it improves after class; if not, I’ll take a taxi to the hospital.”
Bai Xue couldn’t help but feel despondent. She wished she could just go home, but she had to silence her teacher, and not attending class would have consequences.
The drama teacher, who happened to be Li Yan’s aunt, could exploit her absence, causing more problems.
Although Old Wang had told Bai Xue that Little Six was not the second young master of the Chen family, Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan had indeed gone to the Chen Group company building early this morning. What were they up to? The fact that they had entered without any trouble made her even more uneasy and angry.
With these thoughts in mind, Bai Xue surreptitiously glanced at Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan, but Wen Nuan caught her and shot a disgusted look her way. “What are you staring at?” Wen Nuan asked with a cold tone.
Bai Xue felt a pang of guilt and tried to defuse the situation. “1 didn’t see Ling’er in class this morning, so 1 was concerned.”
“You should be more concerned about your twisted ankle,” Jiang Ling’er remarked meaningfully.
Bai Xue was taken aback and was about to respond when the drama teacher entered the classroom, forcing her to remain silent.
Two days later, all the Chen Group’s chain stores changed their endorsement posters to feature Jiang Ling’er. The company’s new advertisements also began airing on big screens.
Seeing the elegant Jiang Ling’er in the advertisements, Bai Xue’s anger flared. Her suspicion had been justified; she wasn’t imagining things.
When she encountered Jiang Ling’er again, Bai Xue forced a smile and commented, “Ling’er, 1 never expected you’d be the one to sign with the Chen Group. When I visited the Chen Group earlier, I was told they already had a spokesperson. I wondered who it would be.”
“Oh?” Jiang Ling’er feigned surprise. “1 was quite taken aback when they made that decision the very same day.”
Bai Xue was left speechless. Her frustration was building, and she asked, “What do you mean by ‘the same day’?”
Wen Nuan chimed in, “It was the day before you mentioned auditioning for Chen Group. By that time, Chen Group had already signed with Ling’er.”
Bai Xue’s expression soured further as she grappled with embarrassment and anger.
“Now you realize you’re the clown?” Wen Nuan quipped with a smile.
At that moment, someone spoke up in Bai Xue’s defense. “We’re all classmates; you shouldn’t humiliate her like this. You’ve gone too far by withholding the truth and letting her make a fool of herself.”
Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan exchanged glances before turning to see who had spoken up. It was none other than the class’s heartthrob, Song Qingfeng.
As expected, Bai Xue had the support of a typical protagonist. Song Qingfeng was usually low-profile, but he stood up for her.
Seeing the gazes of Wen Nuan and Jiang Ling’er, Song Qingfeng assumed it was because of his charm, and he couldn’t help but feel disdain.
“Jiang Ling’er,” Song Qingfeng said sarcastically, “1 can’t fathom why the Chen Group would associate with someone as vicious as you.”
Wen Nuan was infuriated by this and glanced at Bai Xue, saying, “Bai Xue, you truly have a gift. No matter where you go, people come out of the woodwork to support you.”
Song Qingfeng was incensed, and a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. “Wen
Nuan, I was talking about Jiang Ling’er.. Why are you bringing Bai Xue into this? Are you jealous of her?”
