Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “What’s the use of worrying? I’ll deal with whatever comes my way.”
Li Yu replied, “You seem unbothered at all. Oh right, 1 heard that things haven’t been good between Li Yan and Bai Xue.”
Jiang Ling’er’s interest was immediately piqued. “Is that so? Then 1 need to celebrate. 1 have to open a champagne bottle with Nuannuan.”
Li Yu was speechless. After a few seconds, he asked blandly, “Do you still like him?”
Jiang Ling’er furrowed her brows and said, “What are you talking about?”
The original owner of her body liked Li Yan, but she wasn’t interested in him at all.
Li Yu was very satisfied with her answer. He asked with a smile, “What are your thoughts about the project we discussed before?”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. She answered, “I won’t be able to handle the female lead role. But if you can land me a supporting role, I’ll give it a try.”
Li Yu was silent for a moment before saying, “After seeing your cameo role on Director Zhang’s show, 1 don’t believe that you’re a newcomer.”
Jiang Linger felt pleasantly surprised and said, “You flatter me.”
Li Yu could tell that Jiang Ling’er was very happy. He didn’t expect that he could please this little girl with just a few words.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The waiter pushed the door open and began to serve the dishes.
After a while, Li Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Ling’er, can I ask you a question?”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Li Yu while holding her chopsticks and said, “Sure.”
Li Yu asked after some thought, “Why did you attend drama school? If you really want to go to a drama school, you can easily get enrolled into a better school with your abilities.”
Old Master Jiang was the one who had arranged for Jiang Ling’er to go to this school.
Jiang Ling’er answered, “It’s close to home.”
Li Yu was stunned. He thought inwardly, ‘She gave up on a better school just because her current school is close to home? What a unique reason.’
Jiang Ling’er pointed at the braised carp and said, “This is quite delicious.”
Li Yu said dotingly, “You’re quite a glutton. Eat more.”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t hold back, either, and even picked up a mouthful for Li Yu. She said, “You should also try it.”
This bite of food immediately improved Li Yu’s mood.
After finishing their meal, Li Yu dropped Jiang Ling’er back at school.
Jiang Ling’er got out of the car and walked straight into the school. Li Yu stayed in the car until he could no longer see her silhouette.
Bai Xue coincidentally witnessed this scene, making her extremely shocked and jealous.
She was originally confused when she saw Li Yu. But when she saw Jiang Ling’er get out of his car, she felt dejected and angry at the same time. Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu had only met a few times, but the two of them seemed to get closer each time.
Bai Xue was very puzzled. She thought inwardly, ‘When did Jiang Ling’er and Li Yu get so close? Why didn’t I see any signs at all?’
Fortunately, Jiang Ling’er entered the school alone. If people saw Li Yu sending Jiang Ling’er back, there would definitely be a commotion. Bai Xue didn’t want others to think that Jiang Ling’er had a good relationship with the Li family.
Instead of returning to the classroom, Jiang Ling’er went straight to the library and borrowed a few books related to acting.
She had just come out of the library when her phone rang. Seeing that it was Li Yu calling, she hesitated for a while before picking up the call.
“I’ll pick you up after school,” Li Yu said.
Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile, “What do you want? Are you trying to steal my driver’s job?”
Li Yu teased, “That’s right. Tell your driver to find a new job as soon as possible.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I never said I would make you my driver.”
Before Li Yu could say anything, Jiang Ling’er noticed that Bai Xue was standing not far away.
Seeing that Jiang Ling’er had discovered her, Bai Xue smiled contemptuously. She walked over and mocked, “This is the first time I’ve seen you in the library.
1 can’t for the life of me imagine that you’ve really fallen in love with your studies. But why is Miss Wen not with you today? Have you two fallen out already?”
Li Yu heard Bai Xue’s voice through the phone. He hurriedly said, “Don’t hang up. I want to listen to what she has to say.”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t know what Li Yu wanted to do, but she still cooperated with him. She pressed the speaker button and put her phone into her bag.
She sneered. It was evident that Bai Xue wanted to provoke her. The original owner of her body couldn’t stand Bai Xue’s attitude at all.
Jiang Ling’er said with a look of disgust, “My goodness, your breath stinks! I can smell it from this distance..”
