Jiang Ling’er politely said, “Grandpa, Dad, Uncle, I’m home.”
She knew that the elders were all pleased with her performance.
Old Master Jiang smiled and said, “My amazing granddaughter, you’ve really made us proud.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Grandpa, you’re too kind. I just performed normally.”
Seeing his granddaughter so humble yet confident, Old Master Jiang was even happier. He said, “You speak so confidently. 1 watched the live broadcast, but I’d still like to hear your thoughts.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and explained, “During the live broadcast, 1 kept my responses official. 1 honestly didn’t feel much. Although the competition questions were challenging, they were well within my capabilities.”
Old Master Jiang nodded and said, “Seeing your confidence makes me very happy. Let me share two pieces of good news as well. First, I’ve already kicked Jiang Jun out of the house, and your father has successfully divorced Lin Lin.”
Jiang Hua felt a bit awkward. He had spent most of his life worrying about Lin Lin and Jiang Jun, rarely showing any concern for his father and children. Now he realized that the people who had truly treated him well were these family members.
Jiang Sheng noticed Jiang Hua’s guilty look and patted his shoulder.
Jiang Hua smiled and said, “Thanks, bro.”
Jiang Sheng replied, “We’re brothers; no need to thank me. You’re not doing too bad either. Jiang Xian and Ling’er are both outstanding.”
Old Master Jiang added, “That’s right. Thanks to these two children not being influenced by Lin Lin, who was so selfish.”
Jiang Ling’er chimed in, “Shouldn’t we also thank Lin Lin and Jiang Jun? It’s their actions that allowed us to grow continuously in adversity and achieve what we have today.”
Jiang Hua chuckled at her witty and optimistic response.
Jiang Sheng said, “Of course, but we’ve already repaid that debt. We’ve supported Lin Lin and Jiang Jun for so many years.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Grandpa, we agreed that we would go to the Li family to break off the engagement after the competition. Shouldn’t we settle it as soon as possible?”
Old Master Jiang became serious and replied, “Yes, I’ve already arranged to meet the Li family tomorrow, and I’ll be going with you. We will definitely get justice for you.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Grandpa, your words are enough. However, the relationship between our families should not be severed. 1 have other ways to handle it. As long as you and Dad are present tomorrow, I’ll have enough confidence.”
Jiang Sheng agreed solemnly, “This matter should indeed be resolved.”
“The Li family is the one who begged me to let them off on account of our past friendship,” said Old Master Jiang.
Jiang Sheng sighed and said, “Dad, you’ve been lenient all along, but Ling’er has become the one who suffers. It’s infuriating to think that the Li family allowed Li Yan to behave so recklessly, knowing Ling’er’s background.”
Jiang Ling’er comforted him, “Uncle, don’t be upset. I’m prepared to fight back.”
Jiang Sheng nodded and said, “Good. I will wait for your news. Once you’re single again, 1’11 introduce some young talents to you. There are many promising candidates among my acquaintances.”
Jiang Hua interjected, “Bro, calm down. Among those acquaintances, how many of them prioritize family?”
Jiang Sheng was speechless.
Jiang Sheng looked helpless. Indeed, those youngsters were workaholics.
Jiang Hua continued seriously, “My daughter is precious, and 1 don’t want to see her spending her evenings alone.”
“No, actually, they still have holidays.” Jiang Sheng suddenly said with a guilty conscience.
“Holidays?” Jiang Hua said with disdain. “Let’s not even talk about others. What about you? How many times do you eat at home in a year?”
Jiang Sheng admitted guiltily, “Dad, I apologize. I haven’t been a good son.”
Old Master Jiang intervened, saying, “Well, you all have done well. You have your own careers, but Ling’er’s future partner should be her decision. Don’t worry about it. Jiang Sheng, especially you…”
Jiang Sheng checked the time and said, “Oh dear, time has flown by. Dad, I should get going now. There are surgeries waiting for me at the hospital.”
Old Master Jiang looked slightly exasperated and said, “Alright, go ahead. We can’t make a patient wait.”
Every time the topic of Jiang Sheng getting married came up, he always found various excuses to evade the discussion.
Jiang Sheng said, “Dad, I’ll take my leave then.”
Turning to Jiang Ling’er, Jiang Sheng said, “Ling’er, in my place, please spend some more time with your grandpa.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded. “Sure, Uncle. Take care and be safe.”
Jiang Sheng nodded and left decisively..
