Chapter 16
More Provocations
Bai Xue deliberately said that to provoke Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er narrowed her eyes. Did Bai Xue think that this would agitate her?
Jiang Ling’er said, “Bai Xue, if you have the time to show off your relationship with Li Yan, you should quickly think of a way to get the Li family and the Wen family to cancel the engagement. This way, you can quickly become the Li family’s daughter-in-law.”
Bai Xue was originally quite smug and happy with her response, but when she heard Jiang Ling’er’s words, she immediately became unhappy. Along the way, there were too many people blocking her way. Bai Xue pretended to be pitiful and said, “I’m not showing off. I’m just telling the truth.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled. Since Bai Xue was avoiding the main point, Jiang Ling’er would naturally do the same. Jiang Ling’er said, “If we’re talking about the truth, the Li family doesn’t acknowledge you.”
Bai Xue smiled and said softly, “It’s the truth that Li Yan loves me.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled indifferently and said mockingly, “Isn’t it also the truth that the Li family doesn’t recognize you?”
In the original book, although Bai Xue married Li Yan in the end, she was never acknowledged by the Li family.?Such an ending caused the author to be scolded by many readers who liked Bai Xue.
Bai Xue was a little angry and embarrassed. She said, “Just wait. I will prove to the elders of the Li family that it is worth it for them to accept me.”
When Jiang Ling’er heard this, she smiled mockingly and said, “Then hurry up and prove it. Why are you still standing here? It’s useless to brag so much without anything to show for it.”
The mocking expression on Jiang Ling’er’s face deeply provoked Bai Xue. Bai Xue thought for a moment and said with a sad face, “Ling’er, why do you seem to have become a different person?”
Jiang Ling’er said coldly, “What does it have to do with you?”
Bai Xue did not seem to hear Jiang Ling’er’s cold tone. She was still immersed in her performance. Bai Xue continued to say pitifully, “Ling’er, what happened to make you like this? Why are you so fixated on destroying me?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Bai Xue’s pretentious appearance and said with a smile, “Heh… Don’t slander me here. Bai Xue, when did I attempt to destroy you? Do yuu think that with Li Yan as your backing, you can frame others as you please?”
Jiang Ling’er deliberately paused for a moment and continued, “You’re spouting nonsense. No wonder the elders of the Li family don’t acknowledge you.”
Bai Xue’s heart was filled with hatred when her sore spot was pointed out. She said, “Ling’er, what’s the use of quibbling? I know that you’re jealous of me because Li Yan is with me, but this is Li Yan’s choice. We really love each other. Can you let us go? Why are you targeting me like this?”
Jiang Ling’er’s eyes revealed a trace of killing intent. Jiang Ling’er said, “How dare you slander me.”
When Bai Xue felt Jiang Ling’er’s aura, she immediately panicked. Jiang Ling’er, this b*tch, actually had such a strong aura. What exactly happened to make Jiang Ling’er become like this?
Jiang Ling’er said coldly, “Bai Xue, I advise you not to frame me. Otherwise, I will sue you for slander.”
Jiang Ling’er was not trying to scare Bai Xue. If Bai Xue continued to do this, Jiang Ling’er would really make Bai Xue pay for it.
Bai Xue panicked and immediately put on a pitiful look. “I just can’t figure it out. Why are you targeting me again and again?”
Jiang Ling’er frowned and pretended to be frustrated. Wasn’t Bai Xue trying to anger her? Jiang Ling’er decided to cooperate and play along.
When Bai Xue saw that Jiang Ling’er was starting to get irritated, she felt a little proud. It would not be long before Jiang Ling’er would rage and fall into her trap.
Bai Xue thought for a moment and said, “Ling’er, you’re the daughter of a rich family. I’m not a fool. Aren’t I courting death by messing around with you?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Bai Xue’s expression and said sarcastically, “I’m the daughter of a rich family. Why should I go and have an endless fight with a country bumpkin? Wouldn’t that lower my status?”
Bai Xue said angrily, “You!”
Bai Xue stared at Jiang Ling’er in disbelief, but in her heart, she was very proud of her provocations. Jiang Ling’er dared to say anything and would definitely play nicely into her trap.
Jiang Ling’er continued to mock, “What about me? I’m just a country bumpkin from a remote village. I know that there’s no benefit in fighting with the rich and powerful. As the daughter of a rich family, I naturally won’t put a country bumpkin in my eyes.”
Bai Xue’s face immediately looked extremely aggrieved. With tears in her eyes, Bai Xue said, “How can you insult people like this?”
Jiang Ling’er looked confused as she said, “What? Insult who? A country bumpkin? I didn’t say anything bad about a country bumpkin.”
Jiang Ling’er did not specify who the country bumpkin was.
