Wen Nuan laughed heartily and said, “Haha… Ling’er, only you would dare to talk to him like that. Among the people at home, only my brother can speak up for me a little. Everyone else is terrified. Anyway, this is really delicious, bring me another serving.”
Jiang Ling’er was taken aback and then said, “When I brought it earlier, Wen Mo said he wanted to eat it, so I think he’s probably already eaten the rest of it.”
Wen Nuan complained, “Hmph… he’s so enthusiastic about grabbing my food, but he dares not speak up for me.”
Jiang Ling’er chuckled and said, “Don’t be angry. 1’11 go make you another serving. Your home kitchen is well-stocked, so it won’t take long.”
Wen Nuan shook her head and said, “It’s fine. I’ve already troubled you a lot. Honestly, seeing you makes me feel much more at ease. I was really afraid that my grandpa’s constant meddling would drive you away.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Not a chance. We’re true friends, and if I left you, it would be like abandoning my sincerity.”
Wen Nuan playfully pretended to be upset and said, “Hmph… forget it, the old stubborn man went to see you in the morning. Why did you only come now? Don’t you care about me?”
Jiang Ling’er helplessly said, “Yesterday, Little Six asked me to audition. I told my grandpa this morning, and he agreed for me to try. As soon as 1 got to school, 1 found that Little Six was already waiting for me at the entrance. He called his brother, Mr. Chen as soon as he learned that 1 had agreed, and I went for the audition in the afternoon.”
Wen Nuan was shocked and said, “My goodness, that was so fast! How do you feel? Did you perform well? If I had known you were going for an audition, I would’ve definitely come to watch.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “1 think I did okay because I’ve already signed the contract.”
Wen Nuan, being a bit nosy, asked, “Wow, that’s really fast. Did Mr. Chen from the Chen Group take a liking to you?”
Jiang Ling’er was quite speechless. Just moments ago, Wen Nuan seemed so fragile and vulnerable, and now she was back to her gossipy self.
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Oh, come on, don’t treat me like some precious gem. Even if they’re interested, it’s because they see me as someone who can make money for the Chen Group, which is why I signed the contract.”
Wen Nuan asked, “What are the terms like?”
Jiang Ling’er replied casually, “My grandpa is overseeing it, so there shouldn’t be any issues. I didn’t look into it much.”
Wen Nuan suddenly chuckled, “Hey, you signing with the Chen Group has probably made Li Yu really upset.”
Speaking of Li Yu, Jiang Ling’er had mixed feelings. She sighed and said, “I doubt it. After all, I agreed to play the lead role in his new drama.”
Wen Nuan was surprised and exclaimed, “What? I’ve only been gone for a day, and you’ve already made such a major decision?”
Jiang Ling’er explained, “It all happened quite suddenly, and 1 didn’t have time to think it through.”
She furrowed her brow, finding it hard to be resolute when it came to Li Yu for some reason.
Wen Nuan earnestly said, “Ling’er, honestly, Li Yu is a really nice guy. You should consider him.”
Jiang Ling’er was taken aback and said, “Why are you suddenly bringing up personal issues? How’s your situation?”
Wen Nuan said helplessly, “Since Grandpa won’t force me for the time being, I’m feeling much more at ease. I’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight, and my health should be back to normal tomorrow.”
Jiang Ling’er said, quite pleased, “Great. When Bai Xue sees that we’re still together tomorrow, she might just explode.”
Wen Nuan furrowed her brow and asked, “Did Bai Xue provoke you?”
Jiang Ling’er earnestly explained, “No. She was just trying to be considerate, and asked me to keep my distance from you to avoid causing trouble for my family.”
Wen Nuan’s eyes flashed with anger, and she gritted her teeth, saying, “That wretched Bai Xue.”
Jiang Ling’er tried to comfort her, “It’s not worth getting angry with that despicable person. If you get too mad, she’ll feel even more triumphant.”
Wen Nuan pouted and said, “I know.”
Even though she said that, Wen Nuan still looked upset.
Jiang Ling’er helplessly smiled and said, “Now that you’re fine, 1 can relax. It’s getting late, I’ll keep you company for a while, but I’ll have to go soon.”
Wen Nuan reluctantly asked, “Ling’er, you’re leaving so soon?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Yes, I’ll have to trouble the driver to come pick me up. It’s getting late, and the driver will need his rest. I can’t be inconsiderate and stay up too late..”
