Jiang Lingâer looked at her grandfather and said, âGrandpa, 1 might come home a little late tomorrow.â
Old Master Jiang nodded. âAlright, donât forget to bring your bodyguards.â
Jiang Lingâer said, âIâll just bring Little Wang along.â
Old Master Jiang was stunned. âWhich Little Wang are you talking about?â
Jiang Lingâer said, âWang Lu.â
Old Master Jiang thought for a moment and nodded. âThatâs fine, too. Letâs play another game.â
The next day after school, Jiang Lingâer was about to get into the car when a gentle voice sounded.
âHello, Miss Jiang, please wait a moment.â
Jiang Lingâer turned around and saw an elegantly-dressed girl with a graceful figure.
She didnât know her, but she still said politely, âHello, who are you?â
âIâm Gu Yao from the Student Union. 1 want to invite you to join us and become the head of our literature and art club.â
Jiang Lingâer revealed a sarcastic smile before saying, âIâm sorry, Senior Gu. Iâm not interested in the Student Union, not to mention I donât have much time.â
Gu Yao was surprised that Jiang Lingâer had rejected her directly. After all, she had already revealed her identity as a Student Union member. She sighed in disappointment. â1 didnât expect you to reject me outright.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled politely. âUnfortunately, youâre terrible at acting.â
She said gently, âSenior Gu, you should find someone else. Iâm really not interested. If I donât like something, 1 wonât be able to excel in it.â
As she spoke, she looked at the time.
Gu Yao saw that Jiang Lingâer seemed to be anxious to leave. She asked curiously, âAre you in a hurry? Why donât we talk it over a cup of coffee?â
Without waiting for Jiang Lingâer to reply, Wang Lu, who was standing nearby, said, âYoung Miss, we need to go.â
Gu Yao frowned and said unhappily, âJunior Jiang, your servant is so undisciplined. We are still talking, and yet he dares to interrupt us.â
Jiang Lingâer said, âSenior Sister Gu, itâs not your place to criticize my men. Besides, heâs doing this for my own good. Apologies, but I have to leave now.â
After saying that, she waved her hand and got into the car.
Looking at the departing luxury car, Gu Yaoâs expression was unsightly.
A fashionably dressed girl suddenly walked to Gu Yao with a stack of documents in her arms. She sneered. âSenior Gu, Jiang Lingâer is too arrogant. Whatâs there to be so proud of?â
Gu Yao was shocked by the girlâs sudden arrival. Being rejected by Jiang Lingâer was embarrassing enough, and now she was caught in this situation. She glared at the girl and said coldly, âLiang Bing, canât you keep your mouth shut?â
Liang Bing said unwillingly, âSenior Gu, that girl is just rich! Itâs just a fluke that she got first place. Thereâs no need to pay attention to her.â
If Jiang Lingâer wasnât born into the Jiang Family, she would be nothing.
Gu Yao mocked her, âIs your family richer than hers? Do you have the ability to get first place, too? You canât even get first place in class, let alone in the city competition.
Liang Bing felt awkward. âSeniorâ¦â
Gu Yao saw Liang Bingâs aggrieved expression. She felt disgusted and said, âAlright, no matter how hard you work, you canât compare to her. Stop being jealous.â
Liang Bing was so angry that she couldnât say a word. Gu Yao spoke as if she was so much better than her.
Gu Yao ignored Liang Bing and said, âHmph. Lingâer, donât think too highly of yourself. Mark my words. One day, Iâll make you come and beg me.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A boy said abruptly, âFrom your tone, itâs like you can beat her.â
Gu Yao was familiar with this voice. She looked over and saw the boy sitting on the windowsill on the first floor. She said, âJunior Liu, why are you mocking me?â
Little Liu said softly, â1 just want to tell you to not be conceited.â
Gu Yao was confused and embarrassed at the same time. âIs Little Liu and Jiang Lingâer close? Why is he speaking up for her?â
Liang Bing felt better when she saw Gu Yao being insulted. She said cheerfully, âBrother Liu, Senior Gu was just joking. She cherishes talents a lot. She would never make things difficult for Miss Jiang.â
Little Liu sneered. âIâm not your brother. Stop being shameless.. Donât you think itâs embarrassing to call a man your brother?â
