Translator: End Less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing his wife’s concern, Lin Sheng’s father assured her, “We’ll head over now. Don’t worry.”

Worried about his mother’s well-being, Lin Sheng added, “Mom, don’t fret. We’ll return with good news.”

“Please hurry,” Lin Sheng’s mother urged. “Don’t keep Old Master Jiang waiting.”

Father and son departed together. As they left, Lin Sheng’s mother stood by the window and watched them go. She whispered softly, “As long as you and our son are safe, nothing will happen to me.”

In just a few hours, the Jiang Corporation swiftly acquired the Lin family’s company without asking for any benefits beyond the formula.

The company’s issues were resolved, and the burden on Lin Sheng’s father was lifted. To their surprise, the Jiang family also provided a house and a car to symbolize Lin Sheng and Jiang Ling’er’s friendship.

Old Master Jiang didn’t know why his granddaughter was helping the Lin family, but he trusted her judgment. Complying with his granddaughter’s wishes, he settled the matter and ensured the employees received their salaries in Jiang Ling’er’s name.

Back at school, Bai Xue entered the classroom just as the class was about to conclude.

Seeing Jiang Ling’er, Wen Nuan, and some other students practicing their lines, Bai Xue’s anger flared.

However, she realized she needed to remain composed and not reveal her irritation. She couldn’t let Jiang Ling’er sense her anger, as it would only boost her confidence.

Enduring her frustration for the remaining minutes of class, the class was finally over. The teacher let the students do whatever they wanted and left.

Bai Xue approached Jiang Ling’er with a smile, her tone sugary sweet.

Jiang Ling ‘er’s heart skipped a beat. Bai Xue was a tough woman. Jiang Ling’er didn’t want to talk to her.

Meanwhile, Wen Nuan was tidying up her desk and glanced at Bai Xue with disdain.

Wen Nuan had never liked people like Bai Xue who hid a knife behind her smile.

The few students beside them were all looking forward to enjoy the possible drama between Jiang Ling’er and Bai Xue.

Bai Xue revealed a sweet smile. With a gentle voice, Bai Xue asked, “Ling’er, did you attend the audition yesterday?”

Jiang Ling’er met Bai Xue’s gaze. If she were a man, she might have been charmed by Bai Xue’s sweet smile.

Bai Xue, the protagonist of the Bai Xue story, certainly had a way with people.

But Jiang Ling’er wasn’t just anyone; she was a clever and ruthless supporting character in this story.

“Yes,” Jiang Ling’er replied. “Why do you ask?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue’s anger grew.

With a feigned look of innocence, Bai Xue explained, “I didn’t even know it was yesterday. When I went today, they told me the audition had been canceled.”

Jiang Ling’er was surprised. She had not been aware of the cancellation, but now she realized the awkward situation Bai Xue had encountered.

“You didn’t know?” Jiang Ling’er inquired. “That’s odd. If you were invited to the audition, they would have informed you about the cancellation. Even if they didn’t contact you personally, they would have informed your agency to relay the message, right?”

Wen Nuan, who was tidying up her desk nearby, chimed in with mockery, “Is there really a need to say it? Being invited to the audition was a lie. Otherwise, how could she not know about the cancellation?”

Bai Xue seethed inwardly but maintained her composure on the surface.

“Miss Wen, why are you making fun of me like this?” Bai Xue responded with a smile. “My phone was off, so I didn’t receive the notification.”

Wen Nuan, unimpressed, remarked, “Only a fool would believe your feeble excuse, right?”

“I can’t make you believe me,” she said with a smile.

Wen Nuan was speechless, and her frustration continued to grow.

The students around them, who had been watching the spectacle, were eager to see if Miss Wen would lose her temper.

Bai Xue realized she had the upper hand and wore a smug smile.

“Miss Bai, please use your judgment,” Jiang Ling’er advised. “A good dog stays out of the way. Haven’t you heard that saying before?”

Jiang Ling’er’s heart was already restless, but she understood that she couldn’t make a move. Reacting would only play into Bai Xue’s hands.

“Ling’er, I didn’t mean anything by it,” Bai Xue replied with a feigned aggrieved expression. “I just wanted to know if there were many people at the audition yesterday.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “I don’t know about that. I attended alone. After all, 1 was invited by the Second Young Master of the Chen family, so I had some privileges. 1 didn’t have to contend with a large group of people.”

Bai Xue suddenly had a sinking feeling. Could it be….? Had Jiang Ling’er signed the contract with Chen Group?
