    Bai Xue took off her high heels. She was still experiencing difort in a certain part of her body.


    She walked gingerly into the bedroom, found the contraceptive pills, and took two of them. Then she retrieved some anti-inmmatory ointment and headed into the bathroom.


    After a simple shower, Bai Xue felt less fatigued, but the difort in that certain area didn’t subside much. Shey down on the bed carefully, feeling wronged and couldn’t help but cry. If Li Yan had been with her all along, Jiang Jun couldn’t have done what he did.


    While Bai Xue was in distress, her phone started ringing. When she saw the caller ID, she felt a rush of anxiety. She quickly wiped her tears, adjusted her tone, and answered the phone, pretending to be half-asleep, “Li Yan, why are you calling so early? What’s up?”


    “It’s already sote. Why aren’t you up yet?” Li Yan asked.


    Li Yan’s calm voice came through the phone, adding to Bai Xue’s distress. He hadn’t inquired about her well-being or the fact that she had woken up sote. When did Li Yan be so indifferent to her?


    Bai Xue continued to feign drowsiness, “Hmm? It’s already sote. I must have overslept. I guess I’ll have to take a day off.”


    Li Yan asked, “Did you stay up reallytest night?”


    Bai Xue, her voice quivering, replied with a mix of truth and falsehood, “It was past ten, not toote. 1 had a few drinks, and my head was spinning. I came back, took a shower, and went to bed. 1 never thought I’d sleep so long. If you hadn’t called, I’d probably still be asleep. By the way, are you done with your work? Are youing for lunchter?”


    Li Yan responded indifferently, “1 called to tell you that 1 have a very tricky matter to attend to, and 1 need to go abroad. My assistant will wire you your allowance on time.”


    When Bai Xue heard that the allowance would be sent by the assistant, she felt somewhat dissatisfied. She remembered that the assistant hadn’t defended her when her previous n to report Jiang Ling’er failed, and she had held a grudge against the assistant ever since.


    Bai Xue said, “Li Yan, don’t trouble the assistant. I don’t need the money right now. How long will you be abroad?”


    Li Yan said, “I’m not sure. At the soonest, it might take a little over a month. If you run out of money, contact my assistant. I’ve already instructed him.”


    Bai Xue said, “Alright, take care of yourself during your trip.”


    Hearing about Li Yan’s extended absence, Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her current situation would be impossible to exin to Li Yan.


    Li Yan said tly, “I got it. You, too, just don’t get yourself into trouble. 1’11 hang up now.”


    Bai Xue began to say, “Alright, love—”


    But before she could finish her sentence, the call had already ended. She stared at her hung-up phone, pondering her encounter with Jiang Jun the previous night, feeling wronged and overwhelmed by emotions.


    Feeling the pain from a certain part of her body, Bai Xue remembered Jiang Jun’s greasy face. She despised him with every fiber of her being.


    She had initially considered parting ways with Jiang Jun, but after suffering such a great loss, she had other ns in mind.


    She looked at her phone, then decided to make a call to Jiang Jun.


    The call was quickly answered, and Jiang Jun’szy voice came through, “Hello?”


    Suppressing her inner anger, Bai Xue spoke softly, “Brother Jun, it’s Bai Xue.”


    Jiang Jun replied with sarcasm, “Already missing me? Was 1 too good?”


    His tone was mocking, and Bai Xue calling him so soon after their previous encounter was indeed surprising to Jiang Jun.


    Bai Xue’s face twisted into a sinister expression as she said, “Brother Jun, don’t joke around. I want to ask if you still have any dirt on Jiang Ling’er.”


    Jiang Jun’s face instantly filled with hatred. Jiang Ling’er was a wicked woman who had no sibling affection for him. Jiang Jun also knew that he couldn’t afford to mess with her right now.


    Jiang Jun asked, “What? You still want some dirt on her?”


    Bai Xue deliberately paused for a moment and spoke with a pleading tone, “Brother Jun, if it’s possible, would you be willing to help me?”


    Jiang Jun replied sarcastically, “Heh, what use could you possibly have for me?”


    Bai Xue took a deep breath. Originally, someone like Jiang Jun, a piece of trash, wasn’t worth keeping around. But now that Jiang Jun had taken such a huge advantage, Bai Xue couldn’t let it go without making use of him first.


    Bai Xue said with a hint of grievance, “Brother Jun, please don’t be so harsh. Can you help me out, please? I couldn’t give you an invitation because it’s Li Yan’s decision, and 1 can’t say much about it. Besides, Li Yan was there yesterday, and he left at thest moment due to some work-rted issues.”


    Jiang Jun had a smirk on his face. He knew exactly when Li Yan arrived and left. It wasn’t more than half an hour during the banquet. But Bai Xue insisted on saying that he left at thest moment. This little b*tch truly had no qualms about lying..
