Chapter 48: She Had Cosmetics Surgery?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wang was certainly acquainted with their names and had previously laid eyes on Jiang Ling’er. However, it had been undeniable that Jiang Ling’er possessed a rather unattractive appearance in the past. How, then, had she suddenly blossomed into such a captivating beauty? Could it be the result of cosmetic surgery?
Bai Xue, being deliberate in her actions, glanced around before whispering, “Dear senior, please refrain from uttering such baseless speculations. Be cautious, as such loose words may attract unwanted trouble. That young lady is none other than Jiang Ling’er, the daughter of the esteemed Jiang family!”
Wang had also heard numerous rumors concerning Jiang Ling’er. It was said that she, leveraging her status, had succeeded in rupturing the bond between Bai Xue and the scion of the Li family, Li Yan.
However, Li Yan’s affections were exclusively reserved for Bai Xue. Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, had displayed a complete lack of moral boundaries through her various reprehensible actions. In the end, she had become a laughingstock.
Wang harbored a negative opinion of anyone who would deliberately sabotage another’s relationship. He expressed, “I had expected that the two of you would be like fire and water. Yet, 1 never anticipated you to display such gentleness. Jiang Ling’er is truly devoid of sensibility. Does she believe herself to be exceptional solely due to her family’s wealth? The air of superiority she exuded earlier was utterly repugnant.”
Bai Xue assumed a guise of distress and replied, “She has always treated me this way. I have grown accustomed to her conduct. While she remains unkind towards me, 1 have no desire to reciprocate in kind. However, Jiang Ling’er’s nature is inherently arrogant. She holds disdain for individuals like us, hailing from the lower rungs of society.”
Bai Xue articulated this with the intent of further instilling a deep-seated aversion to Jiang Ling’er within Wang. She sought to have him perceive Jiang Ling’er as an arrogant and affluent wretch who looked down upon the less privileged.
Upon hearing Bai Xue’s words, Wang concluded that Jiang Ling’er was not an upstanding individual. He stated, “Such a shameless character. Junior Bai, please do not dwell on this matter.”
“Senior, don’t say that. We both hail from humble origins,” Bai Xue promptly retorted.
Little Six cast a contemptuous glance at Bai Xue. He held her in low regard, perceiving her as a manipulative troublemaker.
“If I recall correctly, Bai Xue, your boyfriend is Li Yan, correct?” Little Six remarked. “Could it be that Li Yan finds himself unable to contend with Miss Jiang? Whenever it comes to you and Miss Jiang, it seems Miss Jiang is perpetually at a disadvantage. Is this what you mean by the powerless being unable to resist? It appears to me, Bai Xue, that you are on the verge of stepping upon Jiang Ling’er’s head and marking your territory.”
When Bai Xue heard this, her expression changed drastically.
Little Six continued, mockingly, “Earlier, you claimed that Jiang Ling’er had been hurling insults at you. If that were truly the case, you were aware that Jiang Ling’er would undoubtedly berate you. Yet, you deliberately approached her, subjecting yourself to her scorn. Isn’t this a deliberate act of instigating trouble?”
Bai Xue immediately adopted a facade of aggrieved innocence. She fervently wished for the boy who spoke to simply disappear. Bai Xue whimpered, “Senior, please do not misconstrue the situation. I genuinely wished to befriend Jiang Ling’er.”
Little Six regarded Bai Xue with disdain. Did she truly believe everyone to be blind? Did she think everyone would be oblivious to her true intentions?
Little Six jeered, “You may have wished to, but Jiang Ling’er did not. You were well aware of this fact, yet you deliberately approached her nonetheless. After being scolded, you commenced playing the victim in front of others. You may be of low character, but leading others to speak ill of Jiang Ling’er showcases your ulterior motives.”
As he spoke, Little Six directed a derisive gaze toward Wang. Little Six sneered, “And you, it seems you lack any discernment. How could you believe the words of a two-faced person?”
With that said, Little Six collected his tray and departed, placing it in its designated spot before promptly leaving the scene.
Wang’s lips twitched in response.
Bai Xue bit her lip, her complexion turning pallid. What in the world was transpiring? Why did it seem that everyone was advocating for that wretched Jiang Ling’er?
“Senior, who was that person you were conversing with just now?” Bai Xue inquired, her voice laced with a pitiful tone. “It seems as though he does not hold me in favor. Have I somehow offended him?”
Wang, feeling awkward, responded, “Our relationship used to be quite good. From high school until now, how should 1 put it? His temperament is such that he either remains silent or infuriates others with his words. Pay him no mind.”
Bai Xue forced a smile and commented, “I cannot fathom why so many people harbor animosity towards me. 1 have not done anything to warrant such treatment.”
Wang chuckled awkwardly. He was uncertain why Little Six despised Bai Xue so much. After all, Bai Xue was a gentle and kind-hearted girl.
“Senior,” Bai Xue spoke softly, “earlier, you called out my name. You know my identity, yet 1 remain ignorant of your name.”
Wang was surprised and excitedly replied, “My surname is Wang. You may call me Wang Defa.”
Bai Xue pretended to contemplate for a moment before responding, “Then, may 1 call you Brother Fa? You can call me Little Xue.”
“Of course, as long as you don’t mind,” Wang happily agreed..
