Jiang Ling’er pondered for a moment after hearing this.

After a brief pause, Jiang Ling’er said, “I’m not sure. Li Yan can be quite unpredictable at times, or perhaps Bai Xue is auditioning for something else.”

Wen Nuan expressed her displeasure, saying, “That’s not impossible. After all, with her strong backing from Li Yan, many companies are bound to be interested in her.”

Then, Wen Nuan remembered something and asked, “By the way, when is your commercial shoot?”

Jiang Ling’er replied, “It’s on Wednesday.”

Wen Nuan lowered her head and asked, “Can I accompany you? I don’t want to go home early these days.”

Jiang Ling’er sensed that something was bothering Wen Nuan.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Sure, if you have the time, you can accompany me. But be prepared for a potentially boring process.”

Wen Nuan felt a bit wronged and said, “Don’t you want to know why I don’t want to go home?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “There’s always a reason. Whatever it is, I’ll stand by your side.”

Wen Nuan looked at Jiang Ling’er seriously and said, “Even if I mess up, you won’t help me avoid making mistakes?”

Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow and said, “Do you think 1 would let you be so indulgent?”

Wen Nuan admitted, “Hmph… Actually, it’s because of my parents. They said unpleasant things about you.”

After saying that, Wen Nuan felt guilty. She didn’t know if it was right to say it out loud. If she didn’t say it, she would feel unhappy.

Jiang Ling’er was very surprised.

Wen Nuan laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Surprising, isn’t it? I just don’t understand why they… Grandpa has already compromised, but my parents suddenly got involved.”

Jiang Ling’er was left speechless, but she didn’t mind. They had only just met last night, so it was okay. It’s not like she had to depend on them to survive.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Don’t think too much about it. They have their own reasons.”

Wen Nuan couldn’t help but say, “Why do they have so many reaons? They think that they’re the reason I’m getting better, because they’re the ones who thought of getting Grandpa to look for you.”

Jiang Ling’er had no idea how to respond.

Wen Nuan asked, “Ling’er, do you think I’m being unfilial?”

Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and replied, “In my opinion, filial piety doesn’t mean blindly obeying your parents. Take Lin Lin, for example. She always favored her son, Jiang Jun, over me. I naturally didn’t like her. When she was kicked out, I clapped my hands in celebration.”

Wen Nuan said, “Ling’er, I just can’t understand why they look down on you so much. But I genuinely believe that I’m getting better because of you.”

Wen Nuan sighed softly. It was hard for her to disobey her parents, but her parents were really too much. As soon as Jiang Ling’er left, they told Wen Nuan to stay away from her in the future.

Jiang Ling’er thought for a while and said, “Nuannuan, don’t overthink it, and don’t make things ugly with your parents.”

Wen Nuan grumbled, “Hmph… Don’t tell me that they’re doing it all for my benefit. They’re just trying to control me.”

Wen Nuan had a displeased look on her face.

Jiang Ling’er remained silent for a while and then said, “In the past, I was indeed quite awful. It’s natural for your parents to be wary of me. But as time goes by, perhaps things will change.”

Wen Nuan let out a soft sigh and didn’t continue. She thought the same way. Whether it was her parents or Jiang Ling’er, Wen Nuan had no intention of giving up.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the library. Jiang Ling’er noticed that Wen Nuan still seemed unhappy, and she felt helpless about it.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Nuannuan, don’t overthink it. Let’s take it one step at a time. This isn’t a big issue. Don’t worry about your parents. Even the woman who gave birth to me, Lin Lin, looked down on me, but look at me now. I’m doing just fine.”

“But I don’t want to see you and my parents at odds,” Wen Nuan said, feeling wronged.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Okay, let’s go inside.”

With that, Jiang Ling’er held Wen Nuan’s hand and entered the library.

Meanwhile, Bai Xue wanted to try her luck and arrived at the Chen Group office building, but she found it unusually quiet.

Considering that the Chen Group was holding open auditions for a brand ambassador, there should have been plenty of celebrities and actors present, but the place seemed deserted.

Bai Xue was quite puzzled as she walked in. After hesitating for a moment, she took the elevator to the upper floors.

Before Bai Xue could enter the main office, she was stopped by security personnel.

Bai Xue had a low opinion of the security personnel’s lack of discernment, but she also understood that this wasn’t the place to flaunt her importance.

She flipped her hair with a sweet smile and said, “Excuse me, I’m an artist sent by my company to audition for the role of brand ambassador at the Chen Group..”
