Chapter 241: Of Course, He’s Very Handsome
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wen Nuan was filled with curiosity as she had never seen the second young master of the Jiang family before.
Jiang Ling’er, too, had never encountered the original host’s second brother in person. She had only seen childhood photos of the two of them, where he looked remarkably handsome.
“Of course! He’s my brother, being handsome is a given,” Jiang Ling’er remarked, “but he’s probably not your type.”
Wen Nuan proudly responded, “1 don’t judge a book by its cover anymore.”
Jiang Ling’er shot Wen Nuan a disdainful glance and remarked, “1 wonder who asked if my brother is handsome.”
Wen Nuan found herself speechless.
“Can a good-looking man change my bad habit of looking at handsome men?” Jiang Ling’er queried.
Wen Nuan awkwardly replied, “It seems like Bai Xue hasn’t been here for two days. Could she still be harboring some ill intentions and wanting to harm us?”
Jiang Ling’er responded indifferently, “It’s nothing new. Bai Xue rarely attends classes other than drama class. Her schedule was full due to various commitments. It would be strange if she appeared.”
“You’re right. Every time she comes, she adds some fun to us,” Wen Nuan remarked.
“Do you know why Bai Xue is so willing to pick on me?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile.
“1 guess she’s sick…in the head,” Wen Nuan mockingly replied.
Jiang Ling’er explained casually, “She just doesn’t want to be overshadowed by me. In the past, I was always the one who made a fool of myself, and there were constant scandals about me. Now, the tables have suddenly turned. Do you think Bai Xue can handle it?”
“She has to.” Wen Nuan snorted coldly.
“Look at how domineering you are,” Jiang Ling’er teased. “If Bai Xue’s fans see this, they’ll probably say that you’re bullying her.”
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows and said, “1 just don’t understand why so many people like her. Do you think she really has that many fans?”
Jiang Ling’er played with the pencil and said meaningfully, “Bai Xue has endorsed a lot of things, like shampoos and cosmetics. Which one do you think sells the best?”
Wen Nuan was stunned. After a moment of thought, she said, “This… 1 haven’t checked. Moreover, the things that Bai Xue endorses are not within my budget.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “You aren’t familiar with those products because your spending level is higher than ordinary people. You have to know that Bai Xue endorses all popular items that ordinary people can afford. For example, those students don’t have much money, but they still buy shampoo and shower gel.”
Wen Nuan nodded and said, “1 know. Most people think it’s a good thing when they see a celebrity endorser, so they go back and buy it, thinking that celebrities won’t harm them. Plus, the price is cheap, so they buy a lot. So, you’re saying that she really has that many fans?”
Jiang Ling’er shook her head and said, “Not really. Those are all daily necessities, and the sales are good because many people need them. Bai Xue has also appeared in many magazines. What do you think about the sales?”
Wen Nuan smiled, “That means the millions of fans on Bai Xue’s Weibo are fake.”
“Some,” Jiang Ling’er said. “But she should have around a few hundred thousand fans. After all, she’s been in the circle for several years now.”
“Hmph!” Wen Nuan snorted proudly and said disdainfully, “Li Yan spent so much money to package Bai Xue, but she only managed to get a few hundred thousand fans.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “This means that there are more rational people than not. If the acting isn’t good, no one will watch it, and others won’t be able to use the endorsement, so they won’t buy it.”
“I really don’t think there’s anything good about Bai Xue,�� Wen Nuan said, rubbing her brows.
“Nuannuan,” Jiang Ling’er said, “to each their own. Everyone has their own different and unique tastes.”
After a little break, Jiang Ling’er continued, “Think about me. Li Yan really doesn’t like me and treats me badly, but he can’t do anything about it. He can’t get rid of me, so he just has to put up with me. On the other hand, Bai Xue always wishes I’d embarrass myself, but it hardly ever happens the way she wants. If I could make someone disappear just by thinking about it, I’d be gone many times over. But Bai Xue can’t make it happen, and she’s still jealous of me!”
Looking around, Jiang Ling’er went on, “Even Bai Xue and her fans hope I’d go away. Every time they see Bai Xue struggling because of me, they feel bad, but they can’t do anything about it. It’s frustrating, right?”
Wen Nuan asked with a smile, “So, how can I not let it bother me?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Just ignore her. Don’t do what she expects. Sometimes, being a bit silly makes people happy. Without some silliness, life would be less fun, don’t you think?”
Wen Nuan agreed, “You’re right. We shouldn’t let go of our happiness..”
