When Wen Nuan heard this, she felt a little helpless. She said, “Bai Xue is trash. Now that Li Yan is protecting her, she will definitely cover up her true colors very well.”

Jiang Ling’er frowned and said, “That’s right. Without concrete evidence, it will just look like I’m mocking Bai Xue just because I’m jealous of her.”

Wen Nuan was a little disappointed as she said, “I don’t have enough dirty information about Bai Xue on hand now. My second brother doesn’t want me to act recklessly. He said that he’s afraid that I’ll end up worse off if I offend Li Yan. It won’t do the Wen family any good.”

Jiang Ling’er was a little surprised. In the original book, there seemed to be no conflict between Wen Nuan and Bai Xue.

From what she’d observed from the past few days, Jiang Ling’er clearly felt that Wen Nuan hated Bai Xue very much. She thought that Wen Nuan was complaining about injustice for Jiang Ling’er, but now it seemed that there was another reason. Otherwise, why would Wen Nuan already be digging for information on Bai Xue before this?

Jiang Ling’er said, “Your second brother is right, you know. Li Yan is not someone to be trifled with. Not only is Bai Xue an internet celebrity, she also has a lot of fans. We have to be careful.”

Wen Nuan snorted unhappily and said, “This is so frustrating.”

Seeing Wen Nuan frustrated and helpless, Jiang Ling’er felt helpless too. It wasn’t easy to deal with a b*tch like Bai Xue.

Wen Nuan said excitedly, “But if you surpass Yue Ling this time, you will definitely cause a sensation in the school.”

Jiang Ling’er raised her eyebrows and said, “If I can get first place, will I be able to pique the interest of the principal?”

When Wen Nuan heard Jiang Ling’er’s words, she said worriedly, “Ling’er, the news of you competing with Yue Ling has spread throughout the school.”

Jiang Ling’er sneered, “Is that so? From the looks of it, many people want to see me make a fool of myself.”

Wen Nuan said, “Ling’er, I believe you. I’m waiting to see Yue Ling and the others grovel on their knees when you win.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and didn’t say anything. This time, Yue Ling wasn’t the only one who would be embarrassed. There would be many others.

Around four o’clock, Jiang Ling’er returned home.

She saw Jiang Jun flipping through a magazine in the living room.

Jiang Jun was engrossed in it and had a doting expression on his face. It was obvious that he was looking at the cover magazine that Bai Xue had just released.

Just as Jiang Ling’er was about to go upstairs, Jiang Jun suddenly said, “Jiang Ling’er, you lost your manners. Don’t you know how to greet me?”

Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun’s face was gloomy. Jiang Ling’er said sarcastically, “You were so engrossed in that magazine that I really didn’t want to disturb you.”

Jiang Jun was stunned for a moment. In the past few days, Jiang Jun realized that his idiot sister seemed to have become a different person. When she encountered something, she did not lash out and shout like before. Instead, she used several methods to deal with the situation cleverly. Moreover, her words became sharper and sharper when she retorted.

Jiang Jun said, “I heard that you are participating in the Advanced Mathematics Competition?”

Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun’s disdainful eyes and sneered. Jiang Ling’er said, “Who told you that?” Who else could it be other than Bai Xue?

Jiang Ling’er had never told her family that she would be participating in the Advanced Mathematics Competition. Her family did not ask her about anything in school.

Jiang Jun frowned and said seriously, “You don’t have to care about this. I’m warning you, try not to go out and embarrass yourself.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “How is it embarrassing?”

Jiang Jun said mockingly, “With your results, don’t you know any better? I can’t believe you have the guts to sign up for the Advanced Mathematics Competition. What’s your ranking? Don’t you think the Jiang family is embarrassed enough by you? Now you want to go out and embarrass yourself?”

Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun’s sarcastic face but she was not angry. She said lightly, “Of course, I know what my results are like. When the time comes, it’s still uncertain who will embarassed.”

“By the way, as your younger sister, let me remind you to have a little respect for family. We’ll be bound together for good or ill. I don’t have to remind you that, right?”

Jiang Jun’s eyes widened. How dare Jiang Ling’er talk to him like that? He was furious.”Is this how you talk to your brother?”

Jiang Ling’er snorted. What was the use of such a big brother? Jiang Ling’er said, “Did I say that I don’t respect you? It’s just a kind reminder. If you don’t listen, when something happens, don’t blame others.”

“You…” Jiang Jun stammered.

Jiang Jun didn’t know how to refute her. After all, Jiang Ling’er didn’t say anything disrespectful.

Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun calmly and said lightly, “In this mathematics competition, any university student can participate. I’m also a university student. What’s wrong with participating in a competition? How is it embarrassing? Tell me.”

Jiang Jun mocked angrily, “With your poor results, you had to spend money to enter university. Even calculating double-digit additions and subtractions take you half a day. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to think that you can participate in the advanced mathematics competition?”
