The boy’s face also reddened. He shook his head and said, “It’s good that you’re fine.”
Zhang Nuannuan was jealous. Why would anyone like a hostess? Was it because she was easy to get along with?
She asked, “Bai Xue, is this how you seduce men?”
“Zhang Nuannuan,” Bai Xue coldly said. “Don’t think that you’re so great just because you have a powerful background. I don’t have time to talk to you now.”
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “Jiang Ling’er, I’m warning you to return my money quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be sued.”
When Jiang Ling’er heard this, she smiled, “Bai Xue, you’re really insane. You were the one who came to me, wanting to help CEO Li terminate his contract. You even expressed your willingness to pay. Now that you’ve succeeded and reaped the losses, you want me to return the money? Are you dreaming? If you want to sue me, then go ahead. I’ll wait, so do it quickly.”
“But why didn’t you tell me Li Yu would lose 100 million if the contract was terminated?” Bai Xue asked.
Jiang Ling’er innocently replied, “I didn’t think I had any obligations to remind you of that. After all, you should’ve considered that when you first came to do the termination. You’re the one who didn’t understand that and caused your own losses, so why should you blame me? If you hit a utility pole on the street, would you blame the pole or the government?”
At this moment, the boy who had just helped up Bai Xue couldn’t stand it anymore.
He said, “If I remember correctly, isn’t the termination only effective when signed? If the contract you’re terminating isn’t signed by the person in question, it shouldn’t have any legal effects yet.”
Although Bai Xue knew the contract was valid, she still wanted to take a chance.
She said, “That’s right, Jiang Ling’er. The contract I signed with you has no legal effect yet, so I advise you to return the money as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame me for suing you.”
Jiang Ling’er ignored her and looked at the boy.
She said, “Aiyo, our class is really full of talent. However, there are some things I just don’t understand. Why are you pretending to be a big wolf herself? Or do you really think that you’re the leader of Dog Island just because you know a little?”
She paused for a moment and continued, “I don’t have time to explain the contract to you, and I’m not stupid enough to do anything with a contract that has no legal effect. I can understand that you want to be a hero to save the damsel in distress. But before that, we have to see if you’re capable enough.”
The boy was so embarrassed that he was speechless.
Jiang Ling’er looked at the boy and stopped talking.
She then said, “Bai Xue, you’re the one who started the contract termination, and you’re the one who willingly paid. Even if you regret it, don’t come to me, but go to CEO Li instead. After all, you used that money to help him, not me. Do you understand?”
The boy spoke up again, “But right now, Bai Xue’s the one in disadvantage. Aren’t you guys going too far?”
“I’m the one who’s at a disadvantage,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile. “Do you know how cool it is to have CEO Li be my driver? Despite that, Bai Xue used her identity as his girlfriend to look for me and terminate our contract. Moreover, she also volunteered to help pay the penalty for him. In the end, I had no choice but to agree.”
She took a deep breath and continued, “Of course, if you think that she’s still at a disadvantage, then you can just pay for her. Don’t even mention sharing the money with me; it’s meaningless.”
The boy said, “But, Bai Xue’s the one who had to pay the penalty, no?”
Wen Nuan asked impatiently, “Did you lose your brain from all that bootlicking? We’ve already said it a few times; Bai Xue paid the money willingly. She did it on her own volition. Do you understand?”
“Since she volunteered for it, then why would she regret it now?” asked the boy. “In my opinion, you guys just joined forces to bully her.”
“Are you really brainless?” Wen Nuan frowned. “Join forces to bully her? She was willing to compensate for CEO Li. No matter what you say, it doesn’t have any relation to us ‘bullying her’. Moreover, why are you dragging me into this? Do you want me to sue you for slander?”
The boy continued, “Even if you didn’t, Jiang Ling’er and CEO Li are definitely in cahoots. Since he cares so much about 100 million yuan, why didn’t he come and find trouble with Jiang Ling’er? He could’ve said that it would be illegal for Bai Xue to terminate the contract without his consent.”
Wen Nuan’s expression immediately turned serious.
She said, “Do you have so much power that you can turn a contract with a legal effect into something illegal? Ling’er wasn’t the one who made CEO Li lose 100 million.. Why would he pick a fight with her?”
