Chapter 111: Isn’t He Going to Protect You?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Wang knew that Jiang Ling’er had the backing of the Jiang Family. He asked, “Why are you so worried? Isn’t Li Yan going to protect you this time?”
Bai Xue said, “It’s not that Li Yan doesn’t want to protect me. It’s because of me. 1 might harm the people around me.”
Old Wang, getting angrier, asked, “What dirty tricks did Jiang Ling’er use against you this time?”
Bai Xue hesitated for a moment and said, “Brother Wang, I reported Ling’er not only because of Yue Ling but also because of another person. This person’s relationship with Ling’er is very important.”
Old Wang was immediately puzzled and asked, “Is it Wen Nuan?”
Bai Xue shook her head and said, “It’s Ling’er’s brother, Jiang Jun. Because
Jiang Jun has always supported me, Ling’er has been unhappy. This time, Jiang Jun made a bet with Ling’er because of me.”
Old Wang was immediately interested and asked, “What kind of bet?”
Bai Xue sighed and said, “If Ling’er can rank in the top three in the National Examination, Jiang Jun has to leave the Jiang Family.”
Old Wang couldn’t believe his ears. Jiang Ling’er’s brother dared to make such a bet? He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Does Jiang Jun not know how smart Jiang Ling’er is?”
Bai Xue was a little unhappy with Old Wang’s reaction. Did he just acknowledge Jiang Ling’er’s intelligence?
She pretended to be helpless and said, “Are you surprised too? 1 was worried when I found out about this. 1 was afraid that he would be kicked out of the Jiang Family because of me. I guess Jiang Jun didn’t expect Ling’er to be so smart, so he made the bet.”
Old Wang thought for a moment and reassured Bai Xue, “Don’t worry too much, Little Xue. No matter what, Jiang Jun and Jiang Ling’er are siblings. Jiang Ling’er might show some mercy to Yue Ling, but she won’t go too far with her own brother.”
Bai Xue immediately expressed her anxiety, “Considering Ling’er’s personality, that might not be the case. The national competition is about to begin, and I’m really worried for Jiang Jun.”
Old Wang pondered for a moment and whispered, “Little Xue, what if the news of Jiang Ling’er and her brother’s bet were to spread? Would Jiang Ling’er be more considerate?”
Bai Xue nodded and said, “If everyone knows about it, Jiang Ling’er will probably exercise more restraint.”
Determined to help, Old Wang said seriously, “Alright, leave it to me. You don’t have to worry about it.”
Bai Xue was relieved by Old Wang’s words but pretended to be concerned, saying, “Brother Wang, just be careful. You can’t offend Ling’er, okay?”
Old Wang smiled and assured her, “Don’t worry; I’ll handle it.”
After they finished their coffee, they returned to school together.
Entering the classroom, Old Wang saw Little Six still playing a game on his seat.
Old Wang had promised Bai Xue to make amends with Little Six.
Seeing Little Six engrossed in his game, Old Wang asked, “Still playing?”
Little Six glanced up at Old Wang and replied, “Has your mood improved?”
He could tell that Old Wang had been with Bai Xue just now.
Old Wang smiled and said, “Not bad.”
Ignoring Old Wang, Little Six continued playing his game.
At this moment, four girls walked in from outside, and one of them said, “Some women really can’t be trusted. Having a boyfriend doesn’t stop them from flirting with other men.”
The other three chimed in.
“It’s not so clear cut I guess. In my opinion, it depends on the person. For that woman’s boyfriend, she’s definitely not worth keeping, but for other men, she’s fair game.”
“That’s a pretty twisted way of thinking. It’s pretty shady to go after someone else’s partner, isn’t it?”
“It’s not that I’m okay with it. It’s just that those fake nice girls really know how to please guys!”
“I don’t get it. Why do guys like those fake nice girls?”
“What’s so hard to understand? It’s like how some girls are into guys who are articulate and caring.”
“But those fake nice girls are insincere. They seem pretentious.”
“Do you know for sure that those gentle and considerate boys don’t lie? Isn’t that the same? The reason guys like those fake nice girls is that they know what guys like. They cater to their preferences and make them happy.”
“So, are you saying you’d be okay with a fake nice girl?”
“Not necessarily. Unless the fake nice girl’s resources turn out to be good, then whoever marries her will have hit the jackpot.”
“Oh, come on. Don’t think so poorly of all men.”
“Most of them are just having fun. The fake nice girl gets what she wants from a guy, and the guy gets an ego boost from the fake nice girl.. They each get what they want!”
