Chapter 142: Being Misunderstood For So Long
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er said, “Aunt Wang, I’ve been wrongly accused for so long, and everyone thinks I’m a homewrecker. Bai Xue, in her quest to show off her status in the Li family, has sent me so many things. If 1 don’t leave myself a way out, how can 1 ever marry someone else? Everyone will tell my future husband that I used to be a home-wrecker.”
Mrs. Wang sighed lightly, understanding the predicament. She knew that a girl’s reputation could be easily tarnished, and even if it could be hidden for a while, it would eventually come out. It would be challenging for Jiang Ling’er to establish herself in her future husband’s family. Wang Ying said, “Ling’er, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not handling this matter properly.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled, thinking it was indeed the Li family’s fault. If they had publicly disclosed the engagement between her and Li Yan, there would be no room for misunderstandings. People might have advised her to be cautious and to let the couple be happy together.
Jiang Ling’er continued, “Aunt Wang, please don’t blame yourself too much. I’m speaking openly today for two reasons. First, I want to be honest with you, and second, 1 want to stop receiving these nasty messages and those offensive images.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “If you can manage her and make her behave, all these materials won’t matter. But if you can’t control her, I’ll have to defend myself for the sake of my reputation.”
Before Old Master Li could respond, Jiang Ling’er’s phone suddenly rang, and a mechanical female voice announced, “You have a new message from Bai Xue.”
Jiang Ling’er was surprised. After the incident at school, Bai Xue hadn’t contacted her for a long time. Could it be that she was planning another offensive move now?
Curious and suspicious, Jiang Ling’er opened the message, which contained a video. She saw the thumbnail and couldn’t help but laugh. Bai Xue was truly relentless in trying to provoke her.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Well, this is fresh.”
She said it casually and started playing the video.
The phone played Bai Xue’s moans and her explicit words, encouraging Li Yan to continue forcefully. Bai Xue even sent a message along with the video: “Jiang Ling’er, you’ll never experience the pleasure I have with Li Yan in bed.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Old Master Li and Wang Ying and said, “I don’t think I need to say anything more, do 1?”
If the Li family had any doubts about Jiang Ling’er manipulating the situation before, this banished all doubts. There was no way Jiang Ling’er could’ve faked this video that just came in.
Old Master Li’s face was terrifyingly gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, “This is outrageous! Shameless beyond belief.”
Wang Ying, seeing Mr. Li clutching his chest and turning pale, panicked and shouted, “Dad, what’s wrong? Get the butler, call an ambulance!”
Old Master Li waved his hand and said, “No need, there’s nothing wrong. Get me my medicine.”
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ling’er was anxious. She couldn’t let Old Master Li collapse; otherwise, Bai Xue would have the upper hand.
Wang Ying hurriedly brought the medicine to the old man.
Jiang Ling ‘er personally poured a glass of water and handed it over. She asked, “Grandpa Li, are you okay?”
Old Master Li took the medicine and calmed down. He sighed and said, “Don’t worry; 1’11 be fine. That despicable woman will never set foot in my Li family!”
Wang Ying blamed herself, saying, “Dad, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t raise my son properly. I spoiled him too much.”
Old Master Li waved his hand and said, “Wang Ying, you’re a good mother. This has nothing to do with you. It’s Li Yan’s own problem.”
“Old Li, are you sure you’re okay?” Old Master Jiang stepped forward and asked. Maybe you should go to the hospital.”
“Uncle Li, please don’t get too worked up,” Jiang Hua said nervously.
As he spoke, Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Ling’er. Jiang Hua said, “Ling’er, this is all your fault. Hurry up and apologize to your Grandpa Li.”
Old Master Li said guiltily, “No, this has nothing to do with Ling’er. That woman is too shameless.”
After a pause, Old Master Li looked at Wang Ying and said, “Wang Ying, go and arrange for a press conference in the afternoon to announce the annulment of the engagement between the two families. Ask Li Yan, that little bastard, to come back immediately and apologize to Ling’er.”
“Dad, what if…” Wang Ying said.
Wang Ying was a little unwilling, but since the old man had already said it, Wang Ying had to listen.
Of course, Old Master Li knew what Wang Ying was thinking. He said coldly, “If we don’t let him suffer a little, he’ll really think that he’s found a precious gem. Look at how shameless that woman is. She’s not even afraid to send these videos.. Isn’t she afraid that Ling’er will spread it?”
