Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 283 - 21: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (21)
But losing such a good resource for no reason makes me feel a bit reluctant.
After all, I’m also a top player in the industry, and those people don’t even give me face. How would Jiang Lai solve this kind of issue?
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Lai nodded.
"So Bai Qiao isn’t as good an actress?"
"Of course not. That Jiang Ruantian has just debuted and can only sing. Where does she get the ability to act?"
"Then it’s fine. Let her act at ease. The role is definitely hers."
The agent felt assured after hearing Jiang Lai’s words, hung up the phone cheerfully, and went back to tell Bai Qiao the good news.
"Really? President Jiang would ruin his own sister’s resources for me?"
"President Jiang isn’t joking. You can rest assured and prepare; you don’t have to worry about anything else."
Just after saying this, the director who had told her not to go today suddenly called her to inform her to come for an audition again early tomorrow morning.
Hearing this, Bai Qiao was delighted, and after preparing herself well, she went to the hotel for the audition early the next morning. Upon arrival, she discovered another young girl around twenty was auditioning too.
The agent quietly reminded her.
"That’s President Jiang’s sister, Jiang Ruantian."
Bai Qiao looked at the fair and sweet-looking girl in front of her, feeling a bit uncertain. But thinking she’s already here, she decided to give it one final effort.
During the audition, Bai Qiao performed her segment first, and then it was Jiang Ruantian’s turn.
The agent said she only sings, but in reality, her acting was quite good. Although lacking skills, everything came from talent and emotion. Bai Qiao watched her with heartfelt applause from the sidelines.
At last, the director told them to go home and wait for further news. By the evening, Bai Qiao received a call from the director, confirming she got the female lead role.
"What about Jiang Ruantian?"
She couldn’t help but ask the agent.
The agent told her not to meddle, but still mentioned.
"The role of the second female lead, the Peach Blossom Demon, suited her well and was also a charming role, arguably more suitable than the lead role."
The female lead was a stunning Demon Concubine, and Jiang Ruantian’s acting and looks simply couldn’t pull it off, while Bai Qiao’s beautiful appearance was perfect for it.
The thought of shooting a film with President Jiang’s sister in the same team made Bai Qiao nervous but also eager.
President Jiang had such a nice personality; his sister should be easy to get along with.

Jiang Lai rarely returned home for dinner because Jiang’s mother called to say they should all sit together to celebrate Jiang Ruantian’s birthday.
Since it was her first birthday after coming home, Jiang’s mother, who loved socializing, directly hosted a grand twentieth birthday party for Jiang Ruantian at home. The dress prepared in advance was made by an internationally renowned luxury designer hired three months prior, and Father Jiang additionally ordered a crystal crown for her, accompanied by a gigantic twelve-tier cake surrounded by dazzling champagne towers.
The previous owner had never had such a lavish birthday party in all these years. Clearly, Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother were well-prepared to make up for the missing parental love over the past twenty years.
Throughout the day, Jiang Ruantian was in an exceptionally good mood. Early in the morning, she went to the beauty salon for beauty treatment and, together with her new friends, got her nails done. Afterward, she drove the car that was given to her by Jiang’s mother to shop for clothes at the mall and returned home only in the afternoon.
On the way back, her friends sat in the car, admiring the Jiang Family villa nestled by the mountains and waters, showering her with compliments.
"Wow Tiantian, your home is even bigger than I imagined! This must be the princess’s castle! It’s even prettier than Disney’s castle!"
"No way, Disney’s castle must be prettier, but my bedroom does have a Disney crystal castle. If you like, you can take it with you when you leave."
Excited, her friends nodded repeatedly.
"That Disney crystal castle is super expensive; one costs over 1.6 million!"
"Is it over a million? I’m not sure. When I was recording a show, I visited the place, liked it, and just bought it."
"Wow—!!!!"
The whole car was filled with sounds of amazement.
Their families were all quite well-off, with parents who were either lawyers or doctors, considered middle-class society elites. But compared to Jiang Ruantian, they were like peasant girls meeting a princess, with no competition at all.
The Jiang Family truly had money; Jiang Ruantian even had her exclusive garage, stocked with several new sports cars.
"Are these cars yours?"
After getting out of the car, Jiang Ruantian glanced around and nodded.
"This garage was newly built by Mom and Dad. I haven’t really driven these cars much."
"Wow, your parents treat you so well! Unlike mine, I have to wait until graduation for a forty-something thousand dollar car."
Jiang Ruantian smiled slightly as she heard this.
"Forty-something thousand dollars isn’t expensive. If you like, you can drive my cars for fun."
"I wouldn’t dare drive those cars; they’re too expensive."
Any random car costs no less than eighty thousand, so it’s better to just admire them.
"Tiantian, haven’t you thought about what your parents might gift you tonight?"
Jiang Ruantian lowered her eyes with a smile, casually tossing the car keys to a servant beside her, and said lightly.
"Who knows? Maybe it’s a house, a car; but I don’t really want those."
"Then what do you want?"
"I want to find some work for myself, maybe ask for a company to play around with. Such a good age; it would be a shame to waste it."
"Wow, casually asking for a company! Tiantian, you are so extravagant! But you know, your sister has a company, and I’m sure you’ll have one, too, and not worse than hers!"
Her friends, one and all savvy, easily picked up on Jiang Ruantian’s disdain for her sister.
Being sisters in a wealthy family, it’s inevitable they’ll privately compete and compare.
So, one after the other, they chimed in.
"You score above ninety in all your university courses and even receive scholarships. Your sister’s grades aren’t as good as yours."
"And I really think Tiantian is prettier, more like Mom. Sister looks a bit like Dad, with a longer and darker face."
"Your sister will surely marry soon after graduation, but the younger daughter will surely be cherished at home for a few more years."
Jiang Ruantian smiled, just about to say something when she looked up and saw Jiang Lai standing at the door.
The smile on her face instinctively withdrew a bit, the superiority she displayed was quickly hidden, replaced by her usual docility.
"Sister, when did you come back?"
"This is my home. Do I have to report to you when I come back?"
After speaking, Jiang Lai glanced at the girls standing behind Jiang Ruantian, then slightly lifted the corner of her mouth.
"Luckily you’re all of the same kind, or I’d worry my sister couldn’t make friends at school."
