Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Jun sucked in a breath of cold air. ‘This sl*t is really arrogant. She actually dares to threaten me? Does she really think that she can get away with anything just because the old fart is protecting her?’
Lin Lin pointed at Jiang Ling’er and scolded, “Jiang Ling’er, do you still have a heart? Jiang Jun is your biological brother!”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Lin Lin and said coldly, “Why didn’t you say the same thing when he framed me?”
Lin Lin was so angry that her body trembled, but she did not forget to speak up for Jiang Jun. “Little Jun might have done something wrong in the past, but you’re not a saint, either. Do you really have to be so ruthless? You should be careful not to burn all your bridges in one go. You might need them someday!”
Lin Lin had not treated the previous owner of Jiang Ling’er’s body well. On the other hand, she had spoiled Jiang Jun rotten. Even her youngest son did not receive such pampered treatment.
“What are you afraid of?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
“Of course, I’m afraid that your brother will be kicked out of the Jiang family!” Lin Lin replied without hesitation.
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Oh… So that’s your concern. However, the first thing he did when he saw me was speak up for Bai Xue. Don’t you think he’s the one who’s sick? He’s about to eat dirt, but he’s still worried about someone who has nothing to do with him.”
Lin Lin was rendered speechless.
Jiang Ling’er continued, “You did everything you could to keep his status in the Jiang family, but he still wants to go against me even if I’m only protecting myself. You’re his mother, so you can forgive any of his mistakes, but 1 won’t. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Not sending him to jail is the biggest favor he could get from me, so don’t push your luck here.”
After a pause, she said, “Hmph. If he has time to think about ways to harm me, why don’t you persuade him to wake up to reality? The only reason Bai Xue is paying attention to him is because he’s the Jiang family’s young master. But once he gets kicked out…”
She thought for a moment before continuing, “Well, Bai Xue will probably keep him. After all, she can still use him against me. But it doesn’t matter. 1 have more than enough evidence to shut up those who try to do anything to me.”
After saying that, she went upstairs.
Lin Lin gasped in anger.
She said, “Little Jun, don’t get too close to that Bai Xue in the future. She’s clearly not a good person.”
Jiang Jun narrowed his eyes in anger. Even his mother thought badly of Bai Xue now.
“Mom, you can’t say that about Bai Xue,” Jiang Jun said.
Lin Lin was shocked. ‘Has my son been brainwashed?’
Thinking about it, if it wasn’t for Bai Xue always making things difficult for Jiang Ling’er, there wouldn’t be so many issues happening now.
Lin Lin continued, “Everything is Bai Xue’s fault. She seduced you and stole Jiang Ling’er’s fiance. She has been complaining all this time that Jiang Ling’er is the one bullying her, but didn’t she just frame Ling’er? Just how much do you love her? Are you so blind now that you can’t see through her schemes?”
“Mom, I told you, you can’t say that about her,” Jiang Jun said, trying hard to suppress his anger.
“Little Jun, don’t tell me you really think that when you lose your status as the young master of the Jiang family, that b*tch will still call you Brother Jun?” she asked in disbelief.
Jiang Jun gritted his teeth and replied, “Mom, 1 asked you to come here to help me clear up matters with Jiang Ling’er. 1 didn’t ask you to humiliate my Bai Xue.”
Lin Lin was on the verge of breaking down. She knew that her son was infatuated with Bai Xue, but she didn’t know it was to this degree.
She decided to ask, “What if you end up losing everything and Bai Xue no longer takes you seriously? Will you regret it?”
Jiang Jun said with certainty, “Little Xue is kind and innocent. This matter only happened because Jiang Ling’er insisted on Yue Ling dropping out of school. Little Xue and Yue Ling are close to each other, so it’s understandable that Little Xue wants to protect her friend. On the other hand, Jiang Ling’er held on to this issue just to get back at Little Xue. Because of this incident, Little Xue has lost several roles and endorsements. Do you understand now, Mom?”
Lin Lin widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Little Jun, you’re really stupid. Bai Xue deserved what was coming for her. Besides, she already has Li Yan to protect her. Why do you care so much?”
It was not that Lin Lin was looking down on Jiang Jun, but compared to Li Yan, her son really had no advantages at all.
Jiang Jun clenched his fists and said, “Mom, I don’t care what you think, but please don’t say anything bad about Little Xue in front of me. I love her so much. She’s not the kind of girl you think she is. She’s the purest, kindest, and prettiest girl I’ve ever met..”
