Wen Nuan was filled with curiosity as she had never seen the second young master of the Jiang family before.
Jiang Lingâer, too, had never encountered the original hostâs second brother in person. She had only seen childhood photos of the two of them, where he looked remarkably handsome.
âOf course! Heâs my brother, being handsome is a given,â Jiang Lingâer remarked, âbut heâs probably not your type.â
Wen Nuan proudly responded, â1 donât judge a book by its cover anymore.â
Jiang Lingâer shot Wen Nuan a disdainful glance and remarked, â1 wonder who asked if my brother is handsome.â
Wen Nuan found herself speechless.
âCan a good-looking man change my bad habit of looking at handsome men?â Jiang Lingâer queried.
Wen Nuan awkwardly replied, âIt seems like Bai Xue hasnât been here for two days. Could she still be harboring some ill intentions and wanting to harm us?â
Jiang Lingâer responded indifferently, âItâs nothing new. Bai Xue rarely attends classes other than drama class. Her schedule was full due to various commitments. It would be strange if she appeared.â
âYouâre right. Every time she comes, she adds some fun to us,â Wen Nuan remarked.
âDo you know why Bai Xue is so willing to pick on me?â Jiang Lingâer asked with a smile.
â1 guess sheâs sickâ¦in the head,â Wen Nuan mockingly replied.
Jiang Lingâer explained casually, âShe just doesnât want to be overshadowed by me. In the past, I was always the one who made a fool of myself, and there were constant scandals about me. Now, the tables have suddenly turned. Do you think Bai Xue can handle it?â
âShe has to.â Wen Nuan snorted coldly.
âLook at how domineering you are,â Jiang Lingâer teased. âIf Bai Xueâs fans see this, theyâll probably say that youâre bullying her.â
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows and said, â1 just donât understand why so many people like her. Do you think she really has that many fans?â
Jiang Lingâer played with the pencil and said meaningfully, âBai Xue has endorsed a lot of things, like shampoos and cosmetics. Which one do you think sells the best?â
Wen Nuan was stunned. After a moment of thought, she said, âThis⦠1 havenât checked. Moreover, the things that Bai Xue endorses are not within my budget.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and said, âYou arenât familiar with those products because your spending level is higher than ordinary people. You have to know that Bai Xue endorses all popular items that ordinary people can afford. For example, those students donât have much money, but they still buy shampoo and shower gel.â
Wen Nuan nodded and said, â1 know. Most people think itâs a good thing when they see a celebrity endorser, so they go back and buy it, thinking that celebrities wonât harm them. Plus, the price is cheap, so they buy a lot. So, youâre saying that she really has that many fans?â
Jiang Lingâer shook her head and said, âNot really. Those are all daily necessities, and the sales are good because many people need them. Bai Xue has also appeared in many magazines. What do you think about the sales?â
Wen Nuan smiled, âThat means the millions of fans on Bai Xueâs Weibo are fake.â
âSome,â Jiang Lingâer said. âBut she should have around a few hundred thousand fans. After all, sheâs been in the circle for several years now.â
âHmph!â Wen Nuan snorted proudly and said disdainfully, âLi Yan spent so much money to package Bai Xue, but she only managed to get a few hundred thousand fans.â
Jiang Lingâer said, âThis means that there are more rational people than not. If the acting isnât good, no one will watch it, and others wonât be able to use the endorsement, so they wonât buy it.â
âI really donât think thereâs anything good about Bai Xue,â Wen Nuan said, rubbing her brows.
âNuannuan,â Jiang Lingâer said, âto each their own. Everyone has their own different and unique tastes.â
After a little break, Jiang Lingâer continued, âThink about me. Li Yan really doesnât like me and treats me badly, but he canât do anything about it. He canât get rid of me, so he just has to put up with me. On the other hand, Bai Xue always wishes Iâd embarrass myself, but it hardly ever happens the way she wants. If I could make someone disappear just by thinking about it, Iâd be gone many times over. But Bai Xue canât make it happen, and sheâs still jealous of me!â
Looking around, Jiang Lingâer went on, âEven Bai Xue and her fans hope Iâd go away. Every time they see Bai Xue struggling because of me, they feel bad, but they canât do anything about it. Itâs frustrating, right?â
Wen Nuan asked with a smile, âSo, how can I not let it bother me?â
Jiang Lingâer said, âJust ignore her. Donât do what she expects. Sometimes, being a bit silly makes people happy. Without some silliness, life would be less fun, donât you think?â
Wen Nuan agreed, âYouâre right. We shouldnât let go of our happiness..â
