Chapter 260: Playing Ball
Lin Jiayi was praising Shen Qian implicitly and explicitly, then she belittled Wan Chu’er as someone who overthinks a lot, which was quite misleading. Jiang Xiaoxiao, due to her preconceived notions, caught the hidden meaning and her facial expression grew even colder.
Jiang Lingling was singled out and she was startled, not expecting the issue to drag her into it.
If it were any other day, she would have followed Lin Jiayi’s lead without a second thought, but today she had exchanged a note with Wan Chu’er and just now was scolded by her.
So she made up her mind to be a spectator this time and not side with either.
Seeing Jiang Lingling’s hesitation, a flash of doubt crossed Lin Jiayi’s brows and she asked again: "Lingling, do you think I’m right?"
Jiang Lingling subconsciously glanced at Wan Chu’er, but saw that Wan Chu’er was not looking at her.
In the end, Jiang Lingling gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I... I don’t know, let me observe more before I make any judgement."
Seeing that Jiang Lingling did not react as expected, Lin Jiayi was surprised, but she did not dwell on it.
Wan Chu’er reached out to pat Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand, then raised her head and stood up straight, facing Lin Jiayi and Shen Qian with poise.
She said indifferently, "I’m sorry, Miss Shen, I’m not interested in those things you mentioned. Whatever I need, I will obtain on my own through effort and struggle, in an open and upright way, not by trading love or begging from others."
