Chapter 472: Common Enemy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Ning hated Wen Nian in the past because she could get engaged to Wei Xiao. She still hated Wen Nian now because she was entangled with Wei Xiao and had a boyfriend like Shen Jun.
She wished she could see Wen Nian fall into a quagmire and never be able to climb out again.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s angry expression and thinking about how she hadn’t found Wei Xiao for the past few days, Jiang Chun’s eyes darted around.
“Although that’s the case, Wen Nian’s reputation has always been good. Look, almost all the netizens are on her side. Perhaps the Shen family will also like a daughter-in-law with such positive image. What chance do I have?” Jiang Chun pretended to be sad and said, “Wen Nian still has some strengths. Otherwise, why did Wei Xiao’s grandfather insist that she get engaged to Wei Xiao back then?”
“Hmph, I was just afraid that the Wen family would cause trouble at that time. Wei Xiao never liked her. He was just putting on an act!” Jiang Ning quickly explained, but her expression was not as confident as she sounded.
Jiang Chun seemed to be frightened and said in a panic, “But didn’t you say that you found the love letter she wrote in Wei Xiao’s study last time? Why did Wei Xiao still keep the love letter? The engagement has been canceled for so long… I’m sorry, Jiang Ning. I shouldn’t have said this.”
Hearing her words, Jiang Ning’s face turned paler and paler. She knew that Wei Xiao definitely still had feelings for Wen Nian. Otherwise, why would he keep the love letter? And Wei Xiao probably wanted her to leave the capital as soon as possible. Now, he didn’t even answer her calls.
Her expression kept changing. Jiang Chun held her hand and said earnestly, “I know about you and Wei Xiao. I… I heard that he and Wen Nian have already met in the capital…”
“What?” Jiang Ning could no longer control her emotions. “Why? Why is Wen Nian such a slut? Why is she seducing Wei Xiao again? Could it be because of her that Wei Xiao doesn’t want to engage me? Is it because of her?”
At this moment, Jiang Ning could no longer think. She felt that all of this was because of Wen Nian.
Seeing that the time was about right, Jiang Chun recalled that Jiang Ning had always been brainless in the past. She then said, “I wonder if Wen Nian’s participation in Director Sun’s television drama this time is true? Director Sun hasn’t made an official announcement, and he’s probably looking for her to take on only a small role. She hasn’t confirmed that she can go to the Capital Film Academy, right? If she’s bragging in front of so many people, what do you think will happen to her in the end?”
Jiang Chun’s words reminded Jiang Ning. She recalled that Huang Yue had previously said that many celebrities in the company were coveting Wen Nian’s resources. If someone could snatch Wen Nian’s role now, her reputation would definitely be affected when the official announcement was made.
At the thought that Huang Yue happened to be in the capital’s detention center, she might be able to find someone to help her.
However, when she looked at the innocent Jiang Chun beside her, the anger that had surged up just now was suddenly extinguished. Every time, Jiang Chun would sow discord without batting an eyelid and make her take actions.
When Jiang Chun saw that her expression had suddenly changed and that she was not as angry as before, she was shocked. Indeed, what happened last time had made Jiang Ning wary.
As expected, Jiang Ning said unhurriedly, “Huang Yue is in the detention center. She did tell me before that there are celebrities who don’t get along with Wen Nian. Wen Nian has such good resources now, and many people are jealous.”
Jiang Chun did not say anything and just looked at her with wide eyes.
“However, I can’t always be the one to take actions, right? To be your spearman and help you deal with Wen Nian?” Jiang Ning’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
“How could that be? I’ve never—”
Without waiting for Jiang Chun to explain, Jiang Ning waved her hand. “Alright, you don’t have to pretend anymore. We’re all members of the Jiang family. We’re all the same. We have a common enemy. Huang Yue will definitely be able to find a female celebrity who can’t stand Wen Nian. I can meet her, but you have to repay this with something, right?”
“What do you want me to do?” This time, Jiang Chun did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
Since everyone had laid their cards on the table, they would unite to deal with Wen Nian first.
Only then did Jiang Chun nod in satisfaction. “You should have done this earlier! I’m going to see Huang Yue, but she’ll definitely ask for an exorbitant price. You’ll be responsible for fulfilling her request. After all, my family doesn’t have much status in the capital. It’s not like yours. Besides, you have the Xu family behind you.”
Jiang Chun did not agree immediately, but it was not a bad thing if she did not have to do anything.
She then said, “Alright, go find Huang Yue first, but you have to make it clear to her that she can’t be released directly..”
