Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan and said, “Nuannuan, a thief will never admit that he’s a thief.”
Wen Nuan immediately understood what Jiang Ling’er meant. She wasn’t afraid of rumors against her, but if people misunderstood her, only Bai Xue would benefit.
Wen Nuan said with a smile, “Ling’er, you’re right. You’re number one, and no one can deny that. You’ve already slapped the slanderers in the face. Their identity isn’t important at all.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded. No matter what, she refused to let Bai Xue’s schemes succeed.
Bai Xue lowered her head. ‘You b*tch! You ruined my plan again.’
After the second period, Li Yan’s assistant appeared at the door of the classroom.
Bai Xue felt annoyed when she saw him. However, thinking that Li Yan might be here, her mood improved.
Bai Xue pretended to organize her textbook. She said, “Why are you here today? Where’s Li Yan? Give me a moment. We can leave once I’m done.”
There wasn’t anything to tidy up, but Bai Xue took her time just to show off. She was full of pride that Li Yan’s assistant was here to pick her up.
The assistant felt disgusted. ‘You’re so good at acting. I really don’t understand why the young master likes you.’
He said, “Miss Bai, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to pick you up. The young master asked me to tell you that he is busy today and can’t have lunch with you.”
The assistant’s voice was soft, but many people heard it. Some of them wore gloating expressions. Bai Xue was so proud just now, as if the servants at home had come to pick her up. But she was instantly slapped in the face; the assistant wasn’t here to pick her up at all.
Bai Xue felt very embarrassed. “Is that so? Why do you have so much time to visit me in person for such a small matter? You could have just left me a message or called me.”
The assistant said sarcastically, “Miss Bai, 1 was afraid you might not see my message, or that your phone might be on silent if I called you. I wanted to come in person just to be sure. This way, you won’t waste your time waiting for the young master.”
Jiang Ling’er sneered in her heart. ‘Heh! It’s funny that one of Li Yan’s subordinates is actually so disrespectful to Bai Xue.’
Bai Xue’s face stiffened. She forced a smile and said, “1 understand.”
The assistant said, “Miss Bai, I have other matters to attend to in the company, so I’ll be leaving first.”
The assistant had just turned around when Bai Xue said, “Wait a minute, I have something to ask you.”
The assistant stopped and turned to look at Bai Xue.
Bai Xue said, aggrieved, “I’m not free in the afternoon. Is Li Yan free at night?”
The assistant said with a smile, “Miss Bai, the young master has been busy recently. He doesn’t have a lot of free time at the moment. Whether he has time later or not depends on his arrangements. However, his schedule is a company secret and can’t be discussed with outsiders.”
Bai Xue was unwilling to let it go. “Huh? Are you saying that I’m an outsider? You’re his assistant. Aren’t you supposed to arrange his schedule? You’re the one who should know if he has the time or not.”
The assistant just wanted to get this over with, but Bai Xue refused to let him leave. He said, “To the young master, I’m just a subordinate.”
Bai Xue said unhappily, “No matter how busy he is, he will always have time for me. How come he’s so busy nowadays? Did you deliberately change his schedule?”
The assistant was instantly annoyed. ‘You’re full of crap!’
He said seriously, “Miss Bai, you need to have evidence before you say anything. I’m indeed the one who arranges the president’s schedule, but last-minute changes are not up to me. I also have no right to modify the young master’s schedule privately.”
Bai Xue’s eyes turned cold. ‘I’m the future madam of the Li family. How dare you talk to me like this? Do you want to lose your job?’
Bai Xue said, “We’d already agreed to have lunch together this morning. If you weren’t so irresponsible, Li Yan wouldn’t have suddenly changed his mind. He has never stood me up like this before.”
The assistant retorted, “Miss Bai, do you think I have the right to stop the young master from changing his schedule?”
The assistant thought inwardly, ‘If it was up to me, the first thing I’d do is make sure that the young master stays away from this pretentious b*tch.’
Bai Xue frowned. “Why are you like this? If you want revenge, then come at me.. Why do you have to change Li Yan’s schedule?”
