Stupid Bird
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
“How could I dare to offend the Gu family?” Jiang Ling’er said lightly. “I was just reminding you out of kindness. But then again, Aunt Li is such a smart person, but she didn’t advise me on anything after the incident. Aren’t you just trying to sow discord between the Lis and the Jiangs?”
Old Madam Gu saw that her granddaughter was no match for Jiang Ling’er at all and was about to fall into her trap.
“Miss Jiang, I’m very sorry,” she said immediately. “My granddaughter is a bit clumsy; if she has offended you in anyway, please forgive her.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Old Madam Gu, you’re too kind. I’m just reminding Miss Gu not to be a stupid bird who speaks too fast.”
Old Madam Gu was dissatisfied. However, she only smiled and said, “Miss Jiang, please forgive us. My granddaughter is a bit dull in her studies, so she doesn’t know how to read the situation.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled sweetly and teased, “Since you said it yourself, you’re right.”
Old Madam Gu smiled, but she was furious. This little girl really knew how to use people.
She stood beside Old Madam Li.
She was very sharp; she could tell Old Madam Li really liked Jiang Ling’er. However, Old Madam Gu and Old Madam Li had always been on good terms. Now that she wanted to set Jiang Ling’er up, she naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch.
“Ling’er, are you still in school?” she changed the topic. Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Grandma Gu, I haven’t thought about finding a boyfriend yet,” said Jiang Ling’er with a smile.
“You’re still young, there’s no rush,” said Old Madam Gu.
“Yes,” Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “I’m still focusing on my studies at the moment. I’ll occasionally go out into society to gain experience.”
Old Madam Li immediately said proudly, “Old Gu, let me tell you. Our precious Ling’er is the Chen family’s spokesperson. Also, in the recent popular drama, she’s the female lead. Whether it’s her acting skills or her looks, she has received immense praise.”
Jiang Ling’er felt a little embarrassed when she heard Old Madam Li’s praise.
She humbly replied,” Grandma Li, it’s thanks to the crew that this drama received good reviews. If it weren’t for the good script, good guidance, and everyone’s hard work, we actors wouldn’t have been so praised. I’m also quite lucky to have met capable actors with good looks and acting skills. These seniors also guided me into my role, so I didn’t take many detours. However, I’m still very happy to be recognized by everyone for my acting skills.”
Old Madam Gu was very surprised. She had thought that Jiang Ling’er was beautiful, but she didn’t expect her to be an actress with good acting skills.
She said, “Ling’er, so you’re also hiding your strength.”
Old Madam Li held Jiang Ling’er’s hand affectionately.
She said, “Not only that, but our Ling’er is also a top student. She won first place in the National Advanced Mathematics Competition, the English Language Competition, and the Original Comic and Animation Competition. In short, she has won many awards, and every one of them is very valuable.”
Old Madam Gu was shocked. In the past, many media outlets had said Jiang Ling’er was an idiot and liked to pick fights. Now, it seemed that they were all lying.
Those unscrupulous media outlets had harmed many people. Jiang Ling’er’s ability truly saved her. Otherwise, she would’ve been killed by public opinion.
Now, she had participated in so many competitions and always got first. Moreover, they were all competitions recognized by the country. No wonder Old Madam Li liked Jiang Ling’er so much.
The person who said she was stupid before probably lost face, right?
“Ling’er,” Old Madam Gu asked curiously, “You have to study, participate in competitions, and film. Do you have enough time for all of that?”
Jiang Ling’er said coquettishly, “Of course. The workload arranged by my manager is still okay. Other than classes and work, the rest are all break times, so I still have time to participate in competitions.”
At this moment, five members of the Zhang family arrived.
Zhang Nuannuan looked at Old Madam Li, who was surrounded by the crowd. Beside her was Jiang Ling’er, who stood very close to her.
She was agitated by this scene. She couldn’t control the jealousy in her heart, her expression instantly turning ugly.
“Nuannuan, watch your expression,” said Old Madam Zhang when she saw her granddaughter’s gloomy face.
Zhang Nuannuan came back to her senses, immediately adjusting her state of mind and expression.
The Zhangs walked up to Old Madam Li.
“Old Madam Li, this is a small gift from our family. We wish you all the best and good health,” said Old Madam Zhang.
Old Madam Li handed the gift to the butler.
She said, “I’m very honored that Old Madam Zhang could personally come.”
Mr. Zhang and Zhang Xun went to greet the male guests, while the women stayed behind.
Zhang Nuannuan walked over to Jiang Ling’er’s side.
She asked with a smile, “Miss Jiang, long time no see..”
