Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the original story, Jiang Jun even believed that the original protagonist had brought misfortune upon himself by provoking people she shouldn’t have, leading to the bankruptcy and annexation of the Jiang family.

Little did he know that it was his shameless bootlicking that had irked Li Yan, ultimately resulting in the Jiang family’s downfall.

The original body was brainlessly courting death and also harmed the Jiang family. It was also wrong, but what did Jiang Jun get by shamelessly kneeling and licking his boots? In the end, his family was also destroyed.

The original protagonist’s recklessness had indeed harmed the Jiang family, but what had Jiang Jun gained by groveling and licking boots so shamelessly? In the end, his own family met the same fate.

Jiang Jun’s actions were even more thoughtless than those of the original protagonist. His sycophantic deeds had contributed to the demise of everyone in the Jiang family. However, this devoted bootlicker refused to acknowledge his wrongdoing and instead shifted all the blame onto the original protagonist.

“Jiang Jun has humiliated you, and now he has received his retribution. When will the true mastermind, Bai Xue, get her due?” Wen Nuan asked with indifference. “D*mn, she’s disgusting.”

“Wouldn’t it be unsatisfying if everything were resolved too quickly?” Jiang Ling’er remarked with a smile. “We must savor the spectacle.”

“She has plenty of bootlickers surrounding her, and Jiang Jun isn’t the only one,” Wen Nuan added with a smirk.

Jiang Ling’er shared the same sentiment, saying, “No matter how many there are, 1’11 deal with them as they come. 1 have nothing better to do right now. And honestly, I’m a little bored.”

Wen Nuan chuckled and said, “I just can’t believe it. Who knows how many followers she has, and still, she resorts to stealing. You’d think if Bai Xue were a nice girl, she’d be happy with what she has, but obviously, that’s not the case.”

“Nuannuan, in Bai Xue’s and her followers’ eyes, we’re not seen as good people,” Jiang Ling’er responded.

Wen Nuan grinned and said, “Exactly. Before your engagement with Li Yan ended, there were already online accounts saying Bai Xue and Li Yan were a perfect couple. 1 just called Bai Xue a homewrecker, and immediately, someone online attacked me anonymously. So, 1 had someone find this person and filed a lawsuit.”

“That’s the way to handle it,” Jiang Ling’er agreed, nodding. “Use the legal system to defend yourself. What’s next?”

Wen Nuan spoke with pride, “Of course, a public apology, compensation, and a lesson in manners from their parents. 1 won’t find it too bothersome, and 1 won’t let them off easy just because they’re young.”

Seeing Wen Nuan’s satisfaction, Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but smile. Some people need a strong reminder to understand their mistakes.

At the Li family mansion.

The butler stood before the table, casting a careful eye on Li Yu. The butler said, “Young Master, Young Master Li Yan has sent an invitation. He mentioned it’s for Miss Bai Xue’s birthday.”

Li Yu lowered his head, busy with his brushwork. Li Yu remarked, “What’s there for me to attend? Don’t you see how occupied I am?”

The frosty tone unsettled the butler. The butler replied, “You’re indeed very busy.”

“It’s good that you understand,” Li Yu responded casually.

“Will you be attending Miss Bai Xue’s birthday party?” The butler inquired hesitantly. “It’d be easier for me to make the arrangements if you let me know.”

Li Yu halted his writing and declared coldly, “Who does she think she is?”

Initially taken aback, the butler ventured, “Young Master, isn’t Miss Bai a decent person? She’s beautiful, polite, and delicate. Besides, she’s kind-hearted, isn’t she?”

A trace of displeasure flitted across Li Yu’s face. He set down his brush and moved to sit on the sofa. Li Yu commented, “So, you have a liking for women like Bai Xue. Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to someone similar.”

The butler grew flustered. Had he misjudged the situation? “Young Master, please don’t jest with an old man like me,” the butler entreated awkwardly.

Li Yu cast a fleeting glance at the butler and responded casually, “It appears Bai Xue has done her homework. Even you, the butler, are praising her.”

The butler’s unease grew. Did Li Yu suspect there was something between him and Bai Xue? The butler hastened to clarify, “Young Master, please don’t misunderstand. We simply run into each other occasionally and exchange greetings. That’s why 1 found her to be polite.”

Li Yu regarded the butler with cold eyes and remarked, “The engagement between the Li family and the Jiang family has been annulled, and Bai Xue’s reputation is tarnished. If she were truly commendable, why would the old man agree to the annulment? Why would my brother and sister-in-law disapprove of her so much?”

The butler was briefly stunned before acknowledging, “Thank you for your advise, Young Master.”

Li Yu gave a meaningful smile and added, “However, for her to captivate Li

Yan, that rascal, Bai Xue must be quite skilled.”

With that statement, Li Yu glanced at the butler. Li Yu continued, “But you’ve been in the Li family for so many years, and you’re swayed by such a dubious woman. It’s rather astounding. Aren’t you in your fifties?”

The butler, hearing this, was flustered and filled with regret. If he had foreseen this, he wouldn’t have shared so much. The butler confessed, “Not yet, Young Master. I’m forty-eight years old..”
