Bai Xue looked at Jiang Ling'er with a pained expression and said, "Ling 'er, did you know about the cancellation? Why didn't you remind me? Did you do it on purpose to see me embarrass myself?"
Jiang Ling'er adopted an innocent tone, replying, "I wasn't there either, so how would I know that you would embarrass yourself? Besides, with your exceptional talent, who knows if they'd make an exception and let you audition? What obligation do I have to remind you?"
Bai Xue asked, "Aren't we friends?"
Jiang Ling'er sneered and said, "We're not friends. In my opinion, you're not even on my level. At most, you're just a clown. Know your place and get out of my way."
Jiang Ling'er's assertive words left Bai Xue trembling and taking a few steps back in fear.
...
Jiang Ling'er and Wen Nuan exited the scene, leaving Bai Xue rooted to the spot with an unsightly expression.
