Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
One of the girls innocently asked, “So, what’s the point of boosting someone’s ego?”
The other girls burst into laughter and continued their conversation.
“It might be pointless, but it’s easy to take advantage of a flatterer like that. 1 mean, which guy doesn’t like to hear compliments from girls, especially when they say things like, ‘Wow, you’re amazing, your girlfriend must be so lucky. I’m so jealous of her.’”
“Don’t learn from them, it’s disgusting.”
“Heh… What’s there to be afraid of? Isn’t that what fake nice girls are like? They act all pitiful and harmless in front of others, but they can manipulate you behind your back. Even when the fake nice girls dump their boyfriends, the guys will be comparing you to her. So, you should stay away from guys like that, there’s no saving them.”
“I don’t get it. If you already know she’s a fake nice girl, why would guys still like her?”
“It’s just too easy to take advantage of guys like that, especially when she says those flattering words. It inflates a guy’s ego quickly.”
“That’s true. That’s just how guys are.”
“However, 1 have to say, fake nice girls always attract a lot of suck-ups. Some of the guys even have girlfriends.”
“Yeah, that’s right. A fake nice girl always makes guys feel like they need to protect her. Guys like feeling protective of women.”
Old Wang’s expression turned sour as he overheard the girls’ conversation. For some reason, their words reminded him of his relationship with Bai Xue.
Old Wang couldn’t help but retort, “Aren’t you girls taking it too far? You call others fake nice girls, but what about yourselves? You’re all women. Why do you have to talk so negatively about each other?”
One of the girls responded with irritation, “What’s it to you? Are our words bothering you? Are we stepping on your tail or something?”
Old Wang’s temper flared up, and he snapped back, “How can you talk like that? No one would want a woman like you.”
Another girl chimed in, “We can say whatever we want. What business is it of yours? You’re just snapping at us randomly, like a rabid dog. Can’t you afford an injection for that?”
The girl next to her added, “Haha, it’s normal, really. He’s just a suck-up to a fake nice girl.”
Old Wang roared, “Watch your words!”
The girl shot back, “You’re the one who needs to watch your words. We didn’t say anything wrong, did we? Are you crazy or something?”
Old Wang clenched his fists and warned, “Don’t push it too far!”
Little Six, who had been silently observing the situation, finally spoke up, “Alright, they’re just chatting. What’s the big deal?”
Old Wang fell silent, realizing he had been in the wrong.
Seeing that Old Wang had quieted down, the four girls didn’t press the matter further. After all, they were classmates, and there was no need to escalate the situation.
During this period of time, Jiang Jun had not been doing well. He had attempted to expose Jiang Ling’er several times, hoping to tarnish her reputation before the National level competition to help Bai Xue vent her anger. However, for some unknown reason, his attempts were constantly thwarted by mysterious forces.
As the National Examination drew near, Jiang Jun’s anxiety grew. He had a sinking feeling that his fate was hanging by a thread.
One day, Jiang Jun descended to the ground floor of the mansion and noticed the butler tending to the plants in the garden, which had been planted by Elder Jiang. Jiang Jun pretended to cough lightly.
Upon hearing the sound, the butler turned and respectfully greeted, “Good morning, Young Master.”
Jiang Jun nodded and casually inquired, “Has Grandfather gone out?”
The butler replied, “Yes, Master has left for the company. Is there anything I can assist you with, Young Master?”
Jiang Jun nodded again and remarked, “No, it’s nothing. I’ll be heading out later, and 1 won’t be dining at home today.”
The butler hesitated for a moment and then added, “Young Master, please wait a moment.”
Jiang Jun’s brows furrowed in annoyance, and he questioned, “What is it now?”
The butler explained, “Master has given the orders that you are not to use the family car.”
Jiang Jun’s eyes widened. What was that old fart trying to do?
Angrily, Jiang Jun retorted, “Is he trying to confine me? Or perhaps he’s planning to kick me out? Don’t forget, the National Competition hasn’t even started yet, and we don’t know who will succeed!”
The butler, maintaining his composure, stated firmly, “Young Master, you mustn’t make baseless accusations. Restricting someone’s freedom is illegal, and you are free to come and go as you please. Master has no intention of expelling you prematurely; he simply mentioned that you should not use the Jiang family’s car.”
Jiang Jun seethed with anger and sarcastically remarked, “Someone’s finally grown a tongue, 1 see. So you can read the old man’s mind now, huh? No wonder you’re reaping all the benefits from our family.”
The butler remained calm and silent. His family had indeed benefited greatly from the Jiang family, but they had also been loyal. Even if they had gained benefits, they had a clear conscience.
Seeing the butler’s calm demeanor infuriated Jiang Jun even more.. He sneered, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you doubt my status in this family? You don’t think 1 can kick you out?”
