Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just then, someone walked over and said, “How do you know that the geniuses aren’t interested in this competition?”

When Old Wang looked over and saw Jiang Ling’er, he immediately shut his mouth. Before him was a true top student. She was a bonafide genius.

Perhaps most geniuses would refuse to join such competitions, but Jiang Ling’er was an exception.

In the classroom, Wen Nuan glanced at Bai Xue from the corner of her eyes. She said loudly, “Ling’er, rumors have it that the Jiang family coerced Bai Xue to publicly apologize to you. Do you know who started it?”

Jiang Ling’er frowned and said indifferently, “I’m not smart enough to guess who started it. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.”

Although she didn’t know the perpetrator behind the rumors, it was obviously related to Bai Xue.

Wen Nuan looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “It’s actually Bai Xue’s bootlicker, Old Wang or something. His words were so convincing. Those who knew little about what happened were fooled.”

Jiang Ling’er said meaningfully, “It doesn’t matter. Those who are smart enough won’t easily believe those rumors.”

Wen Nuan glanced at Bai Xue in disdain. She smirked and said, “Ling’er, you’re first place again. Those who slandered you are probably embarrassed.”

Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “I can’t be too complacent. My goal is the national competition. Let’s talk about it after the provincial competition next Wednesday.”

Bai Xue suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan. “I don’t know what the two of you are talking about.”

Jiang Ling’er pretended she didn’t hear Bai Xue.

Wen Nuan, on the other hand, replied in disdain, “You’re still acting innocent? Haven’t you heard of the rumors? Who are you trying to fool here?”

Bai Xue said innocently, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve been so busy filming these days that I don’t even have time to go to school.”

Before, Bai Xue would have trampled Jiang Ling’er to death; she didn’t care about offending her. But now, the tables were turned. Jiang Ling’er had ruthlessly slapped her in the face, and Bai Xue was unwilling to take this lying down.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Bai Xue, I’m not talking about you. Only fools will believe you. You’re not qualified to play tricks in front of me.”

Bai Xue’s expression darkened. She told Old Wang that the Jiang family had forced her to publicly apologize to Jiang Ling’er, but she didn’t expect that idiot would mess things up.

She sighed and thought inwardly, ‘Old Wang is so stupid! He started the rumors too soon. If Li Yan wasn’t so reluctant to start a conflict with the Wen family, I wouldn’t even need to engage that useless guy for help.’

Bai Xue said, aggrieved, “Miss Wen, how have I offended you? Why are you targeting me?”

Wen Nuan frowned. “Do I need a reason to target you? You should consider yourself lucky. 1 won’t be as lenient as Ling’er if you offend me.”

Despite Li Yan’s protection, Bai Xue was terrified. She glared at Wen Nuan in anger. ‘You b*tch! Why are you always targeting me?’

Wen Nuan saw the hatred in Bai Xue’s eyes and said mockingly, “You have so much time to glare daggers at me, but you’re too busy to deal with your lapdogs? Aren’t you afraid they’ll all be gone if you don’t do anything?”

Upon hearing Wen Nuan’s remark, Bai Xue’s lackeys were infuriated, but none dared to speak up. After all, Wen Nuan was the privileged daughter of the Wen family.

Wen Nuan smirked mockingly, amused by Bai Xue’s ignorance of the Wen family’s power. Did Bai Xue really believe having Li Yan as her protector made her invincible? She audaciously mocked a member of the Wen family. Clearly, Bai Xue’s lack of intelligence was astounding.

Thinking about the original owner of the body, a young miss from the Jiang family, losing to such a fool, Jiang Ling’er felt extremely speechless.Bai Xue paused for a moment before saying, “Miss Wen, I know you hate me, but I’m truly innocent. It’s not the first time people have misunderstood me. With your ability, I know that it’s not that difficult to get rid of me.”

Though Bai Xue spoke boldly, she was panicking inwardly. If Wen Nuan investigated who was behind the rumors, she would be implicated. Fortunately, she had a backup plan.

Jiang Ling’er’s expression darkened. ‘Bai Xue really knows how to deceive people.’

Since people naturally resented the wealthy families, Bai Xue was using that sentiment to insinuate that she was helpless against Wen Nuan.

Jiang Ling’er grinned as she thought, ‘What a devious act! Even if Wen Nuan provides evidence that Bai Xue started the rumors, many people won’t believe it. They might even think that Wen Nuan was framing her.. After all, how could Bai Xue be a match for the Wen family?’
