Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yu was a little worried, but when he saw Jiang Ling ‘er still smiling but not speaking throughout the exchange, he feel more at ease. He said, “I don’t think so.”

Gu Yinian said, “Just wait for when Miss Jiang loses her temper. You’ll definitely be in for a surprise.”

Li Yu retorted, “Even if she loses her temper, 1 won’t be the one embarrassed. A strong woman like her won’t be so easily bullied.”

Gu Yinian remained skeptical, saying, “1 don’t know. When Bai Xue’s reinforcements arrive, let’s see how Jiang Ling ‘er reacts.”

Li Yu smiled but didn’t say anything. Jiang Ling ‘er had once told him she had never really liked Li Yan and had only done the things she did to improve her acting skills.

Seeing Li Yu’s silence, Gu Yinian became bored and slightly uncomfortable. He didn’t press the matter any further.

Among the guests, a man holding a camera said, “1 wonder what special gifts this good friend of Miss Bai has prepared for her?”

As he spoke, he took a photo of Jiang Ling ‘er and Bai Xue.

The question was overly obvious, and it was apparent that someone had instructed him to ask it.

Jiang Ling ‘er calmly responded, “It’s nothing expensive; just a man I no longer want.”

The man who posed the question looked taken aback, then replied, “But according to the information I’ve received, Mr. Li has never had feelings for you.”

Jiang Ling ‘er confidently admitted, “So what? The engagement between the Li family and the Jiang family was a fact. It doesn’t matter anymore. In the past, Miss Bai was the mistress, but now, as soon as the Li family agrees, she’ll officially become his wife.”

The mention of “mistress” struck a nerve with Bai Xue, making her inner frustration evident, and her smile became stiff.

The man who had posed the question was left momentarily speechless, having never expected Jiang Ling ‘er to be so straightforward.

He stared at her in shock and didn’t know how to respond.

Jiang Ling ‘er chuckled and disdainfully said, “Why are you looking at me like this? I’m not the star of the show today.”

After a prolonged silence, the man said, “Miss Jiang, you know that someone who’s not loved is the third party, right? Love doesn’t follow a strict order, don’t you know that?”

This comment alleviated Bai Xue’s anger somewhat.

Jiang Ling ‘er scoffed, “So you’re saying it’s okay to be the mistress, pretending like nothing’s wrong? You have to live with integrity and morals, do you understand?”

The man was a bit embarrassed and questioned, “If there’s no love, why hold on? Miss Jiang, do you agree with that?”

Jiang Ling ‘er replied, “Of course, I agree. That’s why I publicly let go and also changed Miss Bai’s life trajectory.”

Perplexed, the man asked, “How did you change Miss Bai’s life trajectory?”

Jiang Ling ‘er smiled and said, “Before Miss Bai’s birthday, 1 had already publicly ended both family engagements, giving her the opportunity to transition from being a mistress to the main partner. Hasn’t that changed her life trajectory?”

The man fell silent, thinking there was some truth to what Jiang Ling ‘er was saying. But he had to hold his ground; he was hired by Bai Xue to do this after all.

After a long silence, the man said, “But even if you didn’t call off the engagement, Miss Bai would still be known as AAr. Li’s main partner, wouldn’t she?”

“So, you’re agreeing that Bai Xue is a mistress?” Jiang Ling ‘er asked with a smile.

The man suddenly felt a little awkward. He realized that he had been led off-topic by Jiang Ling ‘er.

Bai Xue’s face looked extremely displeased.

The crowd began discussing the situation as well.

Jiang Ling ‘er exchanged a glance with Wen Nuan, and they both burst into laughter. Bai Xue had indeed brought along an unhelpful ally.

The man, hearing the chatter around him, grew anxious and asked, “Miss Jiang, it seems like you really dislike Miss Bai?”

Jiang Ling ‘er mockingly responded, “You think I simply dislike her? Should I say you’re naive or foolish? If your closest friends have their eyes on your wife, would you still consider them your friends? Or if they openly engage with your wife, would you still call them your friends?”

“Why did you come to her birthday party if you don’t have a good relationship with her?” the man asked with a dark expression.

Jiang Ling ‘er said, “Calling you stupid wouldn’t make you happy, would it? And if I don’t say it, I’m not satisfied. 1 came to give Miss Bai a gift and also to do a favor for the Li family.”

The people around them now understood. Without the engagement being canceled, Li Yan’s open celebration of his mistress’s birthday would tarnish the Li family’s reputation.

Whereas, if the engagement was canceled, the situation would be different, and Li Yan being single would not harm his family’s reputation if he celebrated Bai Xue’s birthday..
