An Qiuyan had originally thought that with her move, there would definitely be problems between Jian Zhou and Jiang Ling's relationship.
She never expected that Jiang Ling would actually lay hands on her.
*Slap!*
A crisp slap echoed, and a distinct handprint with five clear finger marks appeared on An Qiuyan's exquisitely made-up face.
"You... why did you hit me?"
An Qiuyan clutched her burning cheek, glaring furiously at Jiang Ling.
"I hit you because you deserve it!" Jiang Ling said sternly.
"You—"
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you're playing. You just want to use this to create a misunderstanding, to cause a rift between me and Jian Zhou, so you can take advantage of the situation. This cliché trope that's been played out in idol dramas for over a decade, how could I not see through it? Do you really think everyone is an idiot and only you are smart?"
Jiang Ling sneered, her voice filled with contempt and disgust.
An Qiuyan choked, rendered speechless.
She never imagined that Jiang Ling would see through her scheme so easily.
This vixen's brain is too sharp, isn't it? kuAiδugg
Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Ling's brain was that sharp, but rather that her methods were too low-tier.
In many TV shows and novels, the characters' brains are truly like they've been kissed by a pig. To deliberately highlight the intelligence of the male and female leads, they become dumber and more idiotic than each other.
The reason An Qiuyan's schemes were always successful in her previous life was because she had the heroine's halo.
Now, reborn, and with Jiang Ling, an anomaly, disrupting things, her protagonist's halo had completely failed, and everything returned to normal.
Anyone with a bit of brains could see through such a crude attempt at framing and sowing discord.
"Jiang Ling, in your previous life, you weren't satisfied with snatching Shen Mingjue from me, and now in this life, you still want to snatch Jian Zhou from me. You're too shameless!" An Qiuyan yelled in anger.
Jiang Ling smiled, actively hooking Jian Zhou's arm, and said charmingly, "This auntie is snatching him, so what can you do? If you have the guts, bite me!"
"You—" An Qiuyan was so angry she was about to explode. "Shameless, utterly shameless!"
Jiang Ling chuckled, "The thief yelling 'catch the thief'! It's hilarious that the shameless one is calling others shameless!"
An Qiuyan glared at Jiang Ling, "Don't get cocky. You two lovebirds won't have a good ending."
Jiang Ling's eyebrows rose coldly, "Heh, who can't make empty threats? Let me tell you, as long as I'm in the entertainment industry, little bitches like you who are shameless and stoop to despicable acts will never have a good life!"
"You... you say I'm shameless, but how much better are you? Relying on some flirty charm, you hook up with everyone. Do you really think you're something special?"
"An Qiuyan, watch your mouth!"
Jian Zhou, seeing An Qiuyan's filthy insults, roared in anger.
"Don't waste your breath on people like her, lest you dirty your own mouth. If a situation can be resolved with a beating, then don't chatter!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ling shot a cold glare and, at the same time, swung her arm wide, delivering another fierce slap.
*Slap!*
This slap landed mercilessly on An Qiuyan's face. Her already red cheek swelled up even more severely.
"You, you..." An Qiuyan was furious and about to unleash a torrent of abuse.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ling flickered and delivered several more resounding slaps.
*Slap, slap, slap!*
The sound of slaps continued incessantly, like firecrackers on Lunar New Year. An Qiuyan squawked like a hen in heat.
