Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Jiang Jun spotted the approaching security guard, he wanted to explain that the couple was in the midst of a disagreement. However, before he could utter a word, Bai Xue took the initiative.

“He’s asking for directions,” Bai Xue declared, her tone firm. “I don’t know how to help him. This person keeps bothering me. Security, please help him.”

With that, Bai Xue promptly made her way into the neighborhood.

Jiang Jun still had something to say, but realizing his disheveled appearance, he knew the security guard would be skeptical. He had no choice but to leave, disheartened.

Bai Xue rushed into the neighborhood. As she entered the elevator, her phone began to ring. Bai Xue ignored it, though she knew who the caller was. She didn’t want to answer, but she feared that Jiang Jun would grow anxious and escalate matters.

Jiang Jun was in a tough spot, but Bai Xue was just beginning to regain her footing. She couldn’t let herself be dragged down so easily.

Reluctantly, Bai Xue answered the phone.

Before she could utter a word, Jiang Jun’s angry voice resonated from the other end.

“Bai Xue, you’ve crossed the line!” Jiang Jun seethed. “Clean yourself up tomorrow and wait for me to come over. Don’t try any tricks, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.”

Upon hearing that ominous ultimatum, Bai Xue immediately opened WeChat.

Seeing her unflattering appearance with no mosaic in the nude photos, Bai Xue’s expression shifted, and she promptly deleted the content. She was wary of the surveillance cameras in her vicinity.

“Alright, I understand,” she replied.

With that, she ended the call, her hands trembling with anger.

Back at her home, Bai Xue broke down in tears. If only Li Yan had been present that day, how could that scoundrel Jiang Jun have succeeded?

The following day, Jiang Ling’er was surprised to find Lin Sheng engaged in a conversation with Wen Nuan when she entered the classroom.

Upon seeing Jiang Ling’er, Wen Nuan greeted her warmly. “Good morning, Ling’er.”

“Good morning,” Jiang Ling’er responded with a smile.

Lin Sheng instinctively stood up and offered a polite greeting. “Good morning, Ling’er.”

“Good morning, Brother Lin. Why are you here so early in the morning?” Jiang Ling’er inquired curiously.

After a brief pause, she added, “By the way, Brother Lin, how’s your mother’s health?”

Lin Sheng replied, “She’s doing much better without those troubles. Thank you so much for your help, Ling’er. Without you, our Lin family might have been ruined.”

With that, Lin Sheng bowed to Jiang Ling’er.

Jiang Ling’er was at a loss for words; the situation had taken a humorous turn.

“Brother Lin, your bow is a bit over the top!” Jiang Ling’er chuckled, breaking the solemnity.

The initially touching moment had been transformed into a lighthearted one, eliciting laughter from the onlooking students.

Lin Sheng scratched his head and smiled. “Ah, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Lin Sheng, will do anything for you.”

Jiang Ling’er understood that Lin Sheng was genuine, so she smiled and said, “Alright, don’t worry. I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Bai Xue sat at her desk with a book in hand, pretending to read intently. However, her thoughts were far from the book’s contents.

When Bai Xue heard Jiang Ling’er’s voice, she felt an inexplicable surge of anger. Moreover, Jiang Jun had promised to visit her. Bai Xue couldn’t concentrate on studying in her agitated state.

At that moment, a voice emanated from the classroom door. “Pardon the interruption. May I ask if Junior Jiang is here?”

Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan gazed at the door in bewilderment.

It was the graceful Qin Xiaoxiao who walked in.

Lin Sheng was the first to speak. “Oh, it’s Vice-President Qin. It’s quite chilly outside, and yet you’re dressed so lightly. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”

Qin Xiaoxiao deliberately puffed out her chest in front of Lin Sheng and playfully remarked, “Oh, Young Master Lin, you’re here. Why? Are you envious?”

“My girlfriend,” Lin Sheng retorted with a grin, “is bigger than you.”

“Get lost,” Qin Xiaoxiao shot back.

Qin Xiaoxiao then turned her attention to Jiang Ling’er.

“Junior Jiang, 1 have some good news for you,” she announced.

Jiang Ling’er smiled, as she had been receiving good news recently. However, she couldn’t help but wonder what Qin Xiaoxiao’s definition of “good news” was.

“Hmm?” Jiang Ling’er inquired. “Is that so? Senior Qin, please tell me.”

Qin Xiaoxiao grinned and informed her, “Junior Jiang, your scholarship application has been approved. You’ve excelled both in character and academics, and your recent national competition victory has brought honor to our school.”

Upon hearing that Jiang Ling’er had earned a scholarship, some students observing from the sidelines expressed their dissatisfaction.

“She’s already wealthy, and she’s still applying for a scholarship? That’s not fair!”

“Aren’t scholarships meant for students from less privileged backgrounds?”

“That’s a bursary; it’s different from a scholarship!”

“Look at what you’re saying. She just won first place in a national competition, and she didn’t do much for the school.”

“The school’s handling of things is really shady!”
