Upon hearing Little Sixâs words, Old Wang fell into silence.
Little Six persisted, âDo you know what the real relationship between Li Yan and Jiang Lingâer is?â
Old Wangâs expression turned disdainful as he retorted, âWhat kind of relationship could they have? Itâs obvious that Jiang Lingâer is just an opportunist trying to climb the social ladder. Everyone can see through that.â Little Six let out a derisive laugh and retorted, âDo you even use your brain? Listen to me, you need to get out more and broaden your horizons.â
Old Wang, perplexed, looked at Little Six and inquired, âWhat are you getting at?â
Little Six glanced at Old Wang and remarked, âNever mind, itâs just that having some intelligence doesnât hurt. You should figure it out yourself.â
He then attempted to leave, but Old Wang stopped him, demanding, âYou canât just leave; you need to clarify things right now.â
Little Six chuckled but didnât provide an immediate answer. Instead, he stated, âHave you ever wondered why Jiang Lingâer, who was keeping a low profile, suddenly stopped doing so?â
Still perplexed, Old Wang asked, âWhy?â
Little Six sneered and declared, âBecause itâs time for her to strike back.â
Old Wang countered with a mocking tone, âStrike back? That sounds like scheming.â
Little Six smirked but didnât elaborate further.
Growing increasingly uncomfortable, Old Wang argued, âWhy are you smirking? Bai Xue is a kind-hearted person. If it werenât for Jiang Lingâerâs schemes, she wouldnât have been misunderstood like this.â
Little Sixâs face darkened in anger as he replied, âSo, you believe Bai Xue is slandering Jiang Lingâer for Yue Lingâs sake, and Bai Xue has no moral qualms? Furthermore, it was Yue Ling herself who willingly inserted herself into this conflict, aiding Bai Xue in her mistreatment of Jiang Lingâer. Is that your definition of Bai Xue doing it for Yue Ling?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Wang countered with a disdainful tone, âBai Xue did it for Yue Lingâs sake and didnât force her into it. But Yue Ling ultimately failed and turned the tables on Bai Xue.â
Little Six responded, âAre you seriously suggesting that Yue Ling pressured Bai Xue into making false accusations?â
Old Wang confidently stated, âThatâs exactly what happened. Otherwise, Bai Xue, who is so kind-hearted, wouldnât have harmed anyone.â
Little Six mocked him, saying, âYou really think Yue Ling had the power to coerce Bai Xue? Why didnât Li Yan confront Yue Ling if she was the one forcing Bai Xue? Donât you think that Jiang Lingâer, as the daughter of the Jiang family, would be an even bigger target for Li Yan? How could Yue Ling be more influential than Jiang Lingâer?â
Old Wang, who still had a favorable image of Bai Xue in his mind, argued, âYue Ling is obviously self-centered and not very intelligent, so itâs highly likely that she forced Bai Xue into it.â
Little Six rolled his eyes at Old Wang, thinking he was as foolish as a pig.
Old Wang, seeing Little Sixâs disdainful expression, started to feel uneasy and questioned, âWhy are you sneering again?â
Little Six chuckled and replied, âIâm laughing because youâre so clever. Canât you see that Yue Ling is not naive?â
Old Wang hesitated, struggling to find words. After a moment, he asked, âWhat do you mean? Iâm sure this whole thing happened because Yue Ling is a foolish girl, and she brought this upon herself!â
Little Six explained, âYue Ling is the class monitor with decent grades. At the time, Jiang Lingâer was considered an underachiever, and no one believed she could achieve the top ranking. Yet, Bai Xue insisted on comparing Yue Ling and Jiang Lingâer. Why do you think Bai Xue did that?â
Old Wang was adamant and said, âIâm sure it wasnât Bai Xueâs idea.â
Little Six sneered and responded, âBai Xue might be calculating, but she cares about her image. However, no matter how clever she is, there are always flaws..â
