I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 25: Becoming Rich and Powerful

"Miss Bai invites me?"

Xiao Jin was slightly shocked. How could she encounter this classic plot twist in online novel?

She took a glance at Chu Shao, who was smiling beside her, and suddenly felt that the female lead halo was so big and round that it even reached the bottom-tier cannon fodder.

The servant in the green outfit did not deliberately lower his voice, so the guests in the hall put down their wine glasses and looked at Xiao Jin and her companions in surprise.

"Miss Bai has never invited anyone to go upstairs before. Why does this girl have such a fortune?"

Even Lan Qing and Wan Jun were a bit surprised, wondering what was happening today.

Miss Bai unexpectedly had such a good mood.

Feeling the envy of the people in the room, Xiao Jin simply pretended not to see and put on an indifferent expression.

This kind of fortune is something that ordinary people cannot envy, as not everyone has a yandere who wants to kill them at any moment by their side. However, having a yandere also has its benefits, such as being able to bump into something that only the protagonist can encounter and getting a share of the halo.

But now, she was facing a serious problem...

Through the layer of white silk, Xiao Jin looked up at the tall building with warm red lanterns hanging on it.

Although her vision was obscured by the fog, she was aware that this was a fictional world set in ancient times, where it was impossible to install an elevator.

So, how could she, a weak and disabled person, go upstairs?

Xiao Jin even started to imagine the embarrassing scene of being carried up by the servant.

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a clear and melodious voice coming from the building, "Take this girl up the 'Cloud Ladder.'"

The woman's voice was very pleasant, like the sound of tinkling ornaments, inexplicably giving people a sense of elegance and laziness.

Listening carefully, the last note was somewhat dull, as if suppressing laughter.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Jin could make a reasonable guess: this person should be the supporting character Bai Zheng.

After all, in times like these, those who could talk were usually characters with identities. This was a tried and true law of online literature.

If she remembered correctly, in ancient times "cloud ladders" were a type of siege weapon. What did Bai Zheng want her to do by climbing the cloud ladder?

Before Xiao Jin could figure out Bai Zheng's intentions, there was a commotion in the audience, and the sound of discussion filled the hall.

The man in the green shirt was stunned and whispered to the person next to him, "Is it the same 'cloud ladder' I was thinking of? Miss Bai really went and built it for that person..."

The person next to him put down his wine cup and sighed, "Miss Bai even thought of this method. Before, I thought those were just rumors, but now it seems that she really cares deeply for that person."

Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes. Who was that person?

But she heard the people closest to her continue to talk, "Yes, Miss Bai is about to become a laughingstock in the capital. If it weren't for that person, she would probably be the crown princess by now."

"Unfortunately, the Prince of Xiang has interest, but the Divine Lady has no intention."

The man in the elegant clothes clicked his tongue and joked, "Brother, should we switch the positions of the Prince of Xiang and the Divine Lady?"
