“It’s nothing, let’s go. I’m going to the Student Union building too,” Zhu Xiaotong said with a smile.
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, inwardly mocking Zhu Xiaotong. She thought Zhu Xiaotong was overestimating herself, attempting the impossible.
They entered the teaching building.
Wen Nuan couldn’t help but remark, “Ling’er, from what I’ve heard, Zhu Xiaotong isn’t a good person. She’s quite cunning and thinks she’s a saint.”
“I’m not acquainted with her,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile. “I doubt we’ll have much interaction in the future.”
Wen Nuan cautioned her, “Ling’er, let’s be cautious. This person has a penchant for moral pressure. I heard rumors that she once turned down a senior in her fourth year, who eventually attempted suicide by jumping off a building. Too bad, he didn’t die, but was crippled instead. Later, she pressured that senior till he dropped out of school.”
Jiang Ling’er displayed disdain, saying, “Well, I’m not scared of being morally pressured. 1 have confidence in myself. If she wants to make things difficult, she’ll need to prove herself, right?”
Wen Nuan chuckled at the humorous image that came to mind. Then, she added seriously, “But, Ling’er, don’t be too careless. This person has suddenly come looking for us; there must be something about us that’s bothering her.”
“I didn’t steal the title of school belle,” Jiang Ling’er said innocently. “1 didn’t take her boyfriend either. So, what could be bothering her?”
Wen Nuan frowned in thought and suggested, “She competed in the same competition as you, and yet you ranked first in the country while she didn’t even make it to the provincial level.”
“I see,” Jiang Ling’er nodded, her tone nonchalant. “So, she probably can’t stand seeing others outperform her, especially someone like me, who’s not even a good student.”
“That seems to be the case,” Wen Nuan agreed.
“I’m not afraid,” Jiang Ling’er said with indifference. “Whether she’s called school belle or not doesn’t matter to me. As long as she doesn’t provoke me, she’ll remain the school belle. If she does, well, I’ll have some fun at her expense.”
Wen Nuan smiled and quipped, “That’s good. 1 particularly enjoy witnessing people getting a reality check.”
The two of them entered the classroom, where Bai Xue was engrossed in a conversation with the boys behind her.
Seeing Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan enter, Bai Xue’s displeasure was evident. She couldn’t fathom why Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan were getting closer.
However, she concealed her emotions, choosing to ignore them as she continued chatting with the boys.
The class soon began, with Teacher Chen Yaoyao entering solemnly.
She stood at the podium, casting a cold glance at Bai Xue, whom she considered a shameless woman responsible for her eldest sister-in-law’s recent tears.
Chen Yaoyao couldn’t understand what made Bai Xue so remarkable that the Li family had gone through such trouble to invite so many celebrities to her birthday party.
Thinking about how Bai Xue would steal the limelight at tomorrow’s event, Chen Yaoyao felt uneasy. After briefly locking eyes with Bai Xue, she shifted her gaze away and began the lesson.
Naturally, Bai Xue sensed Chen Yaoyao’s hostility. Gritting her teeth, she couldn’t fathom why the Li family wouldn’t accept her despite her obvious talents. She believed herself to be exceptional.
However, when she thought of the guests attending the birthday party tomorrow, Bai Xue couldn’t help but wear a smug smile.
She looked at the serious Chen Yaoyao on the podium and couldn’t help but feel disdain. The Li family might detest her, but they had no choice but to tolerate her.
Chen Yaoyao noticed someone was staring at her and turned to meet Bai Xue’s gaze. Bai Xue smiled with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
However, Chen Yaoyao chose not to take the bait, maintaining her composed demeanor with a hint of disdain.
Bai Xue hoped to provoke Chen Yaoyao, but her attempts had no effect. She could only look down on her, growing increasingly frustrated.
Seeing that Bai Xue’s expression suddenly turned ugly, Chen Yaoyao laughed mockingly.
Was this little girl trying to provoke her? Who did she think she was?
The morning passed uneventfully, with Bai Xue feeling bitter about her loss to Chen Yaoyao.
In the afternoon, she found a pretext to take a leave of absence and hailed a taxi. Bai Xue wanted to check out the decorations for the upcoming birthday party.
Arriving at the upscale hotel where Li Yan had made arrangements, Bai Xue was elated.
This exclusive venue was inaccessible to ordinary people, let alone for a birthday party.
With excitement, Bai Xue approached the entrance.
However, as they neared the gate, a security guard stopped her.
One of the guards explained, “I’m sorry, Miss, but the venue is closed today and tomorrow.”
Despite the setback, Bai Xue remained composed. She smiled and said, “I understand. My fiance booked it.”
With that, she presented her business card.
The two security guards looked puzzled, unaware of the situation. All they knew was that a birthday party was being prepared inside. However, since Bai Xue didn’t seem like a liar, they inspected her business card then allowed her entry..
