Chapter 415: Not That Stupid
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The netizens were fervently discussing the drama online.
“This drama has good lines, and the actors are all on point. It’s very good.”
“Most importantly, there’s no skin planing!”
“I’ve seen this female lead in another series; she’s really good at acting. I didn’t expect her to be even better in this drama.”
“The female lead and male lead’s scenes are actually so perfect. They probably went through many bad takes to achieve this, right?”
“This Jiang Ling’er is still the Chen family’s spokesperson!”
“I have to say, this drama is really spring for people who are dogs for good looks!”
“Hurry up and update!”

At school.
Wen Nuan looked at the comments online and said excitedly, “Ling’er, I didn’t expect the premiere to be so effective. It looks like this drama is going to be popular!”
Jiang Ling’er calmly said, “There’s only five episodes now; don’t get excited so quickly. What’s there to be so happy about now? We can’t talk about it outside, since others could hear us. If we act so highly today, we’ll be ridiculed by people with ill intentions later.”
Wen Nuan said, “Don’t worry, Ling’er. I know. By the way, do you think Pan Yueyue will continue acting today? She looked really upset yesterday.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled, “It’s hard for me to tell, since I didn’t even dare to reprimand her. That woman probably has a strong backing.”
Wen Nuan thought for a bit and said seriously, “I’ve asked my brother to investigate. Can you make a guess?”
“Seeing how you’re so serious, you must have a strong background, right?” Jiang Ling’er said. “Tell me, who’s her backer?”
Wen Nuan hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “She doesn’t have any background. However, her father is a doctor on a cruise ship. 13 years ago, CEO Li’s mother got into trouble on the ship and was rescued by her father. Since then, Old Madam Li has taken good care of the Pan family to repay the kindness. 6 years later, the Pans wanted to marry into the Lis, but Old Madam Li rejected them. Although she didn’t say anything after that, the two families already held a grudge.”
Jiang Ling’er laughed. No wonder Pan Yueyue was so arrogant.
“Now that you mention it, Old Madam Li’s views are correct. She wouldn’t sacrifice her child’s marriage just because of a debt,” said Jiang Ling’er. “However, with the Lis and Pans having this relationship, it’s still a little difficult for me to handle.”
“Yes,” Wen Nuan said seriously, “If Pan Yueyue pretended to be wronged and went to see Old Madam Li, you’d definitely suffer!”
“It doesn’t matter,” Jiang Ling’er said. “We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”
She had no idea if Li Yu’s mother was still alive.
Wen Nuan asked, “Ling’er, aren’t you afraid?”
“Why should I be?” Jiang Ling’er asked doubtfully.
Wen Nuan hesitated before saying, “Aren’t you afraid CEO Li will ask you to stay patient with his mother? For example, he might let Pan Yueyue play some tricks on you.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned. “There are just some things that I can’t give in to. If he really wants to do that, I’ll just stop acting and fulfill their wishes.”
Wen Nuan was a little worried. “Wouldn’t it blow up if you quit like this? Pan Yueyue will bite you back in front of the media.”
Jiang Ling’er said calmly, “That’s not the only thing, Nuannuan. If Pan Yueyue crosses my limits, I don’t mind teaching her a lesson. My brother has already dug up a lot of dirt on her; Besides, it’s not easy to mess with him.”
Wen Nuan smiled. “Besides them, I’m also here. I won’t stand by and watch others bully you.”
“But if Li Yu helps Pan Yueyue, my chances of winning will be lower,” said Jiang Ling’er.
Wen Nuan frowned and said, “If he dares to help another woman, what will you do?”
“What else can we do?” Jiang Ling’er retorted. “If he really does, of course I’ll give up on him. After all, everyone has their own choices.”
“But what if his mother forces him, Ling’er?” Wen Nuan asked again.
What she meant was that if Old Madam Li’s situation would end up difficult from this, would Jiang Ling’er still blame her?
Jiang Ling’er said seriously, “Nuannuan, I told you that if he really dared to do that, I’d give up without hesitation. I won’t forgive him either. Some things will happen again after they’ve been done once. I’ve been hurt before, so if I don’t stop it in time, people will step on me.”
Wen Nuan said, “That won’t happen, since CEO Li wouldn’t be so stupid. That situation just now was just a joke; it’s impossible!”
“Nuannuan, don’t say that.” Jiang Ling’er said helplessly, “I don’t think I can get married with anyone except for him.”
“Alright, that’s all for now,” Wen Nuan said.
Jiang Ling’er smiled, remaining silent..
