When Jiang Baili returned to the international class with her phone in hand, ready to start class, she realized that the atmosphere in the class was a bit strange.

However, she didn't seem to care much. Instead, she curled the corners of her lips and lowered her head to text.

"Cousin Lin, are you coming to our school to record a show next week?" She sent a voice message, her voice cool yet filled with a hint of excitement.

"Then you have to treat me to a meal later!"

Someone asked curiously, "Jiang Baili, who is your cousin?"

Jiang Baili put down her phone, tossed her hair, and said, "My cousin is Xie Lin. I don't know if you've heard of him."

Several girls screamed in disbelief: "Xie Lin? Is that the Xie Lin who came from a talent show and won the championship?"

"Ahhh, I love him so much! He's so handsome, and his stage presence is absolutely stunning!"

How many girls this age don't idolize celebrities? Seeing their idols shining on stage gives them more confidence to pursue their dreams.

Jiang Baili smiled and nodded.

The girls became even more friendly, and even offered her their unopened drinks.

"This is afternoon tea that Li Shen is treating us to. Would you like a cup?"

Jiang Baili's expression stiffened slightly, almost imperceptibly, and the girl who had spoken was also pulled by her companion.

The girl then belatedly realized that Jiang Baili seemed to have some grudge against Xie Li, especially the day she took the encyclopedia challenge...

Although she was sick and didn't know much about what happened that day, she heard that Jiang Baili was later taken away by the police, so she knew that Jiang Baili wasn't as gentle and elegant as she was now.

The group gave an awkward laugh and then dispersed.

Jiang Baili hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Who were these people to dare isolate her?

My phone vibrated slightly; it was a reply from Xie Lin: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner then."

Seeing this message made Jiang Baili's mood improve slightly.

It wasn't in vain that she had been working on Xie Lin's side all this time.

Although her cousin remained aloof as always, his attitude towards her had clearly softened considerably.

Even though they couldn't manage to meet up for dinner several times, it was because the other person was their idol, whose career was on the rise and who was very busy.

Not long ago, Xie Lin had a business event in Linjiang City, at the Jinyincheng Department Store in the city center.

I originally thought that the Pei's Jewelry brand I was endorsing was a bit lowbrow, but I was surprised to find that it actually had a lot of fans.

After reading it, Jiang Baili's interest grew even stronger.

Rather than being forced by Xie Yunqiu to learn some boring traditional Chinese medicine, she would rather be an idol, standing in the spotlight and enjoying the admiring gaze of the crowd.

Xie Lin is here to record the show, and she must seize this excellent opportunity to perform well.

Then she could create a "rich family siblings" persona with Xie Lin and use Xie Lin's popularity to climb the social ladder.

Since there's a shortcut, who would be foolish enough to continue competing for the title of Xie family heir? Everyone has the right to inherit the Xie family's property. Having multiple titles as Xie family heirs just means inheriting another Huichuntang.

But Huichuntang doesn't make money and can't provide her with the luxurious life of fine clothes and fine garments she desires.

Jiang Baili didn't care about her classmates' attitudes at all. Anyway, when Xie Lin and the production crew arrived, there would be plenty of people to flatter her.

She glanced at her classmates, her eyes flickering slightly as she recalled the message she had received earlier.

She reached out and tapped a WeChat message: "Aren't you going to retaliate? This is a golden opportunity!"
