Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Lin felt quite annoyed by the way Jiang Jun was looking at her. She remarked, “Why are you staring at me like that? I’ve been raising you for over twenty years. Do you expect me to continue supporting you? You’re already this grown up, and you’ve graduated from college. It should be no problem for you to go out and work to support yourself, right?”
Jiang Jun replied, “Mom, you know, I’ve gotten used to working at the company. Starting as a low-level employee now, 1 really can’t do it.”
Jiang Jun felt very aggrieved, genuinely so. He had always been a young master from a wealthy family, and suddenly, he had nothing left but gained a drug dealer as a father. He couldn’t accept it all at once.
Lin Lin sneered and said, “I don’t know if other people’s business ventures will succeed, but if I give you money, it’s a losing deal. I’m not that foolish, and you shouldn’t harbor such wishful thinking of getting something for nothing from me.”
Jiang Jun furrowed his brows, feeling extremely frustrated. Ever since that incident, his mother was no longer blindly obedient and trusting of him. Thinking about this, Jiang Jun was filled with regret. Why couldn’t he have been more composed back then?
Jiang Jun said, “Mom, do you really have no faith in me? No matter what, I’m still your child. You can’t just abandon me like this, can you?”
After saying this, Jiang Jun felt uncertain. After all, his mother had never shown much care for the other two children. Now that he had offended her, Lin Lin might genuinely decide to cut ties with him.
Lin Lin sarcastically replied, “Jiang Jun, don’t hold on to unrealistic hopes. 1 gave you a chance before, and you squandered it. Now, this is all that’s left.”
Jiang Jun’s face darkened as he said, “Mom, who knows? If Jiang Ling’er doesn’t make it to the top three, if she doesn’t achieve that, then couldn’t we both stay here?”
Seeing Jiang Jun still holding onto hope, Lin Lin said, “Why are you still daydreaming? Even if Jiang Ling’er doesn’t make it to the top three, do you really think you can still stay in the Jiang family?”
Jiang Jun was speechless.
He frowned. Given the current situation, hoping to remain in the Jiang family was indeed wishful thinking.
Lin Lin sighed in resignation and said, “Jiang Hua has already made up his mind to divorce me. Otherwise, how could he reveal your secret? So, even without the Jiang Ling’er situation, Jiang Hua wouldn’t protect you. You understand, right?”
Hearing this, Jiang Jun felt deeply troubled. He said, “Mom, 1 mean, I’ve grown up around him all these years, calling him ‘dad’ for so long. Could he really just discard all fatherly feelings?”
Lin Lin was exasperated. She couldn’t understand why her son still couldn’t fathom why he had suddenly fallen out of favor.. If it weren’t for her presence, how could Jiang Hua have shown any kindness to Jiang Jun?
