Chapter 193: Part Ways

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Xue didn’t say much but felt ecstatic inside. Indeed, Old Master Wen’s attitude appeared to be heading in that direction. It might not be long before that despicable Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan would part ways.

Moreover, there was a high probability that the Jiang family would expel Jiang Ling’er for self-preservation. That would be incredibly satisfying if it happened.

After leaving the school building, Jiang Ling’er was intercepted by Li Yu.

Jiang Ling’er looked at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he had suddenly shown up and what was behind his sulking expression. Moreover, why was he blocking her way?

Jiang Ling’er asked, “Do you… have something you want to talk about?”

Li Yu looked at Jiang Ling’er with a face full of grievance, feeling very discontented.

Li Yu said, “I heard that you accepted the endorsement for Chen Group’s jewelry brand. Are you their spokesperson now?”

“I’m already the spokesperson of the Chen family?” Jiang Ling’er was stunned. Why didn’t I know about this?”

Jiang Ling’er was taken aback and then said, “I’m their spokesperson? I didn’t know that. I haven’t even gone for an audition. How did I become their spokesperson? Who’s spreading these rumors? And how did you find out about this morning’s incident? Do you have informants at school? That’s not possible, right?”

Li Yu was momentarily confused. Could it be that he had made a mistake? He said, “I just heard it. Is it not true?”

Jiang Ling’er was even more perplexed. Heard it? Who said it? She hadn’t even gone for the audition yet. Who could have known about it?

But now, it seemed that it had already spread far and wide. This was not in Jiang Ling’er’s best interest.

Jiang Ling’er said helplessly, “Someone did invite me to audition, but I haven’t agreed yet. I need to discuss it with my family. This is so unfair. Who’s spreading these rumors?”

Hearing this, Li Yu became even more upset and said, “1 asked you to audition for the female lead role, and you refused right away. But now, when someone asks you to be their spokesperson, you’re willing to consider it?”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

Her face darkened, and she found herself thinking, ‘How is this wrong of me?’

Li Yu said with frustration, “If your grandfather agrees, what will you do?”

Jiang Ling’er hadn’t thought too much about it and replied, “If my grandfather agrees, I’ll give it a try. After all, 1 really like the jewelry from the Chen Group.”

Li Yu was speechless.

Li Yu looked at Jiang Ling’er with a sullen expression, feeling clearly differentiated treatment, which was quite disheartening.

Jiang Ling’er gazed at Li Yu and, noticing his wounded appearance, felt a bit uneasy. She explained, “I’m just going for an audition. 1 don’t even know if I’ll be selected.”

After explaining, Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward. Why was she even justifying herself to Li Yu?

Li Yu remained silent. Despite Jiang Ling’er’s explanation, he was still unhappy. Why was it that she would consider an audition with someone else, but when he approached her, she outright refused?

Seeing Li Yu’s silence, Jiang Ling’er was somewhat helpless. She couldn’t resist saying, “I’m just trying it out. It’s not guaranteed that I’ll be chosen. Do you understand?”

Li Yu looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, grumbling, “Whether you succeed or not, you’re willing to give it a try. But when I asked you to play the female lead, you didn’t even consider it and refused directly.”

Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but be speechless. Why did Li Yu hold such a deep grudge over this?

Li Yu, still resentful, continued, ‘Moreover, I have a feeling that if you go for the audition, Chen Yizhou will definitely use you.”

Jiang Ling’er was speechless.

Amazing, he could even predict the future. Why didn’t he predict in advance whether she would agree to be the female lead?

“First of all, I need my grandfather’s permission to go. If my grandfather doesn’t agree, I won’t…”

Before Jiang Ling’er could finish, Li Yu interrupted and said, “It’s better if he doesn’t agree.”

Jiang Ling’er’s face darkened.

Seriously? He didn’t want her to succeed that badly?

Li Yu said, “Being the spokesperson for Chen’s Jewelry is highly competitive. Every endorsement involves eliminating many A-list celebrities. It’s definitely not as easy as going for the lead role in a film.”

With a resentful look in his eyes, Li Yu continued, “It’s so difficult, and you’re willing to audition for it. But for my offer, you refused outright. You wouldn’t even consider trying it.”

Jiang Ling’er felt a bit awkward, knowing that Li Yu was upset. She said, “I mean, Mr. Li, can’t you…”

Before Jiang Ling’er could say anything more, Li Yu interrupted again. He said, “Either call me ‘Uncle’ or ‘Li Yu’.”

Jiang Ling’er was a little exasperated. She asked, “You’re just here to take advantage of the situation, aren’t you?”

“Yes!” Li Yu said.

Jiang Ling’er was a little angry and felt as if she had been teased.

“Look at your bitter face. Don’t tell me you like me?” Jiang Ling’er said.. “So, you don’t want to see me interact too much with someone else?”
