Bai Xue’s heart sank when she heard Wen Nuan’s words. What did she mean? Could Wen Nuan not tell that Jiang Ling’er was trying to sow discord and harm the Li family and the Wen family?

Bai Xue said again, “Miss Wen, you’ve really misunderstood. I just feel that this matter is not worth it. Miss Wen, you’re so smart. I’m sure you can tell it’s not worth it to ruin the relationship between the two families over such a small matter, right?”

Wen Nuan revealed a mocking expression and said coldly, “You think? Do you think that as long as Li Yan is here, you can do whatever you want? Let me tell you, don’t position yourself so high. It’s easy to fall to your death.

“And don’t talk about the Li and Wen families for no reason. You’re not worthy at all, do you understand? If you’re not happy about what I said, you’d better endure it. There will be no one will back you up anymore if you continue to be so self-righteous, do you understand?”

Bai Xue’s expression became unsightly, and she almost vomited blood. She bit her lip and didn’t say anything.

After Wen Nuan saw that Bai Xue was obedient, she looked at Li Yan again and said meaningfully, “Young Master Li, you have some abilities, but I strongly suggest you don’t ruin yourself over a small matter.”

“Thank you for your advice, Miss Wen,” Li Yan said lightly.

Now, Li Yan was not worried about the Wen family. Instead, he was surprised that Jiang Ling’er’ had somehow managed to make Wen Nuan stand out to defend her and argue with him.

Bai Xue’s heart was filled with resentment, and she did not have the mood to stay here any longer. Now that Jiang Ling’er had changed, she was no longer so easy to deal with. Bai Xue decided that temporarily retreating was the best course of action. She needed to go back and prepare for their next encounter.

Although Bai Xue wasn’t willing to admit defeat, she knew she couldn’t stay in this place any longer.

Bai Xue held Li Yan’s arm and said, “Li Yan, I’m not feeling well, so I’ll skip school today. Let’s go. It won’t look good if we leave when the teacher comes.”

Li Yan patted Bai Xue’s head, knowing that staying here would only make things even more awkward, so he nodded.

Seeing the two of them leave, Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan looked at each other and smiled.

Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows at Jiang Ling’er and said, “How are you going to thank me?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “There, There, class is about to start. Go back to your seat quickly.”

Wen Nuan pretended to be angry and said, “Ah! Don’t you have a conscience?”

“Then how do you want me to thank you?” Jiang Ling’er said helplessly.

“You have to show some enthusiasm and invite me to be your deskmate,” Wen Nuan said arrogantly.

Jiang Ling’er looked at her seat and then nodded.

“Great,” Wen Nuan said smugly.”You’re sensible.”

…

Soon after, the bell rang.

Teacher Jiang Hong and Bai Xue walked in together with a smile.

Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan looked at each other. There was only one question in their minds. When did Jiang Hong and Bai Xue become so close?

Seeing Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan sitting together, Bai Xue’s eyes flashed with viciousness. It had only been a short while, but the two of them were already in cahoots.

From the looks of it, he had to be more careful in the future. Jiang Ling’er was nothing, but Wen Nuan was someone Bai Xue did not dare to offend at the moment.

…

Jiang Hong was all smiles.

Thinking about her secret conversation with Li Yan just a moment ago, Jiang Hong felt a little unhappy. However, there was nothing she could do. Li Yan was the young master of the Li family. Although Bai Xue was smart and pretty, Jiang Hong had never liked her. Jiang Hong took out two pieces of paper and scanned them.

Jiang Hong said, “Students, you’ve all been studying hard during this period of time. I think everyone should be done by now. Let’s invite two students to come up and perform for us.”

As soon as Jiang Hong finished speaking, everyone became excited. Everyone wanted to go up and give it a try.

Jiang Hong was pleased to see everyone so enthusiastic. It was a good thing.

“Bai Xue,” Jiang Hong said, “You’re more experienced than the others. This time, you can choose a partner. The two of you will act out a scene.”

It felt like the teacher acknowledged Bai Xue, but Jiang Ling’er could hear the sarcasm in her voice. She was confused. Especially after seeing the two of them walk into the classroom together affectionately. Did Jiang Ling’er hear it wrong?

Bai Xue nodded, feeling very proud of herself. She scanned the crowd and finally looked at Jiang Ling’er.

Bai Xue said, “Teacher Jiang, let’s choose Jiang Ling’er. Ling’er is also very hardworking. I want to partner up with her for this.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

No wonder Bai Xue suddenly came back to class. This was her true goal. She wanted to embarrass Jiang Ling’er. However, Bai Xue would probably be disappointed again.

Jiang Hong sighed in her heart. As expected, Bai Xue still chose Jiang Ling’er. She really did not understand why Bai Xue would target Jiang Ling’er like this.
