Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon hearing Little Six’s words, Old Wang fell into silence.
Little Six persisted, “Do you know what the real relationship between Li Yan and Jiang Ling’er is?”
Old Wang’s expression turned disdainful as he retorted, “What kind of relationship could they have? It’s obvious that Jiang Ling’er is just an opportunist trying to climb the social ladder. Everyone can see through that.” Little Six let out a derisive laugh and retorted, “Do you even use your brain? Listen to me, you need to get out more and broaden your horizons.”
Old Wang, perplexed, looked at Little Six and inquired, “What are you getting at?”
Little Six glanced at Old Wang and remarked, “Never mind, it’s just that having some intelligence doesn’t hurt. You should figure it out yourself.”
He then attempted to leave, but Old Wang stopped him, demanding, “You can’t just leave; you need to clarify things right now.”
Little Six chuckled but didn’t provide an immediate answer. Instead, he stated, “Have you ever wondered why Jiang Ling’er, who was keeping a low profile, suddenly stopped doing so?”
Still perplexed, Old Wang asked, “Why?”
Little Six sneered and declared, “Because it’s time for her to strike back.”
Old Wang countered with a mocking tone, “Strike back? That sounds like scheming.”
Little Six smirked but didn’t elaborate further.
Growing increasingly uncomfortable, Old Wang argued, “Why are you smirking? Bai Xue is a kind-hearted person. If it weren’t for Jiang Ling’er’s schemes, she wouldn’t have been misunderstood like this.”
Little Six’s face darkened in anger as he replied, “So, you believe Bai Xue is slandering Jiang Ling’er for Yue Ling’s 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 Ling’er. Is that your definition of Bai Xue doing it for Yue Ling?”
Old Wang countered with a disdainful tone, “Bai Xue did it for Yue Ling’s sake and didn’t force her into it. But Yue Ling ultimately failed and turned the tables on Bai Xue.”
Little Six responded, “Are you seriously suggesting that Yue Ling pressured Bai Xue into making false accusations?”
Old Wang confidently stated, “That’s exactly what happened. Otherwise, Bai Xue, who is so kind-hearted, wouldn’t have harmed anyone.”
Little Six mocked him, saying, “You really think Yue Ling had the power to coerce Bai Xue? Why didn’t Li Yan confront Yue Ling if she was the one forcing Bai Xue? Don’t you think that Jiang Ling’er, 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 Ling’er?”
Old Wang, who still had a favorable image of Bai Xue in his mind, argued, “Yue Ling is obviously self-centered and not very intelligent, so it’s highly likely that she forced Bai Xue into it.”
Little Six rolled his eyes at Old Wang, thinking he was as foolish as a pig.
Old Wang, seeing Little Six’s disdainful expression, started to feel uneasy and questioned, “Why are you sneering again?”
Little Six chuckled and replied, “I’m laughing because you’re so clever. Can’t you see that Yue Ling is not naive?”
Old Wang hesitated, struggling to find words. After a moment, he asked, “What do you mean? I’m sure this whole thing happened because Yue Ling is a foolish girl, and she brought this upon herself!”
Little Six explained, “Yue Ling is the class monitor with decent grades. At the time, Jiang Ling’er was considered an underachiever, and no one believed she could achieve the top ranking. Yet, Bai Xue insisted on comparing Yue Ling and Jiang Ling’er. Why do you think Bai Xue did that?”
Old Wang was adamant and said, “I’m sure it wasn’t Bai Xue’s idea.”
Little Six sneered and responded, “Bai Xue might be calculating, but she cares about her image. However, no matter how clever she is, there are always flaws..”
