Are They That Close?
After Li Yu thanked her, he sat down beside Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. There were so many seats, why had Li Yu chosen to sit beside her?
When Bai Xue saw Li Yu sitting next to Jiang Ling’er, she was very confused. Was Jiang Ling’er very close to Li Yu? That could be the only explanation for why Li Yu would sit next to Jiang Ling’er!
Bai Xue said, “Ling’er, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Jiang Ling’er saw Bai Xue walking over with a smile. Ling’er remained silent and cold. Bai Xue was really good at maintaining her fake facade. The two of them had been going head-to-head for the past two days. Yet, Bai Xue was still approaching her with a smile and greeted her as if there were no bad blood between them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBai Xue saw that Jiang Ling’er remained silent and was not even angry, so she pressed on. “Ling’er, it’s just a small misunderstanding. Can you let it go already? Those who don’t know might think that there’s some enimity between us.”
Jiang Ling’er ignored Bai Xue and continued to drink her coffee.
Bai Xue saw that Jiang Ling’er was still silent and pretended to be aggrieved. Bai Xue said, “Ling’er, you should be reasonable. It’s just a misunderstanding between us. I didn’t do anything wrong. If you continue to hate me, it’s really unfair to me.”
Her words disgusted Jiang Ling’er. This pretentious b*tch was acting all innocent again. She conveniently painted Ling’er as the one who was being unreasonable.
Bai Xue sighed again and said, “Ling’er, our conversations always end like this. I’m really scared. Can you just let it go already?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Li Yu and said with a faint smile, “Mr. Li, your niece-in-law is quite good at slandering people.”
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, “Miss Jiang, you must have misunderstood. I don’t know this person.”
Bai Xue’s face froze. What did Li Yu mean?
Jiang Ling’er shrugged and looked at Bai Xue. Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Bai Xue, you put on the same act every day. Aren’t you tired of it?”
Bai Xue was inwardly shocked, but she still pretended to be puzzled. She said, “Ling’er, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Jiang Ling’er’s face turned cold as she said indifferently, “Bai Xue, you only have those few same moves. How many times have you used them against me? It’s better to put away your lousy acting skills and stop embarrassing yourself here.”
Tears immediately appeared in Bai Xue’s eyes as she said aggrievedly, “Ling’er, why do you have to say such harsh words?”
Jiang Ling’er smirked. The tears of a pretentious b*tch really appeared as she wished. Li Yan was not here, so who was she trying to impress with this? Li Yu?
Seeing that Bai Xue’s eyes were filled with tears, Wen Nuan was very disgusted. She said warmly, “Bai Xue, you’re too pretentious. I was praising you. Why are you crying again?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBai Xue was furious, but she did not show it on her face. She said, “Miss Wen, I know that you have a good relationship with Ling’er, that’s why you’re targeting me, but…”
Before Bai Xue could finish, Wen Nuan said angrily, “Shut up. Do you know that you’re very cheap? Other than showing off that Li Yan loves you in front of everyone, what else do you have to show off?”
When Bai Xue saw Wen Nuan couldn’t hold in her temper, she felt a sense of smugness in her heart. Turns out, Miss Wen wasn’t that great at controlling her emotions.
Bai Xue said, “Miss Wen, don’t misunderstand. I’m not showing off. It’s my honor that Li Yan loves me, and I won’t show off casually.”
When Wen Nuan heard this, she said disdainfully, “Li Yan is a prick, and you’re a b*tch. My Ling’er is the scapegoat. Your bullshit love is indeed not worth showing off, so you should be more humble. There’s a saying that goes, ‘The heavens are watching what you do.’ It’s God’s mercy that you two have gotten off scot-free time after time, but it doesn’t mean that karma won’t come and bite you in the ass one day.”
“Miss Wen, don’t you think you’re going too far by saying that?” Bai Xue said, all the while looking aggrieved and pitiful.
Wen Nuan mocked, “Heh… I’m going too far? That’s hardly anything. I don’t understand. You’ve successfully taken down Li Yan, right? Why are you always making things difficult for my Ling’er? What exactly do you want?
“Wherever my Ling’er goes, you never hesitate to bring up the idea that you and Li Yan are truly in love. If someone speaks up for Ling’er, you will change the topic and start blaming others for targeting you on behalf of Ling’er. Seems like you think so highly of yourself that no one else can look down on you.”
“My Ling’er didn’t even say anything harsh the entire time, but you look so aggrieved, as if you’ve been bullied. Tell me, does Li Yan like to see you cry as if someone in your family died?”
