Jiang Lingâer was somewhat surprised by the turn of events. It seemed this time it was different, and her father had genuinely changed his stance. She looked at Jiang Hua with joy and said, âDad, youâve finally seen the light? Thatâs great; I support you.â
Jiang Hua remained silent, his emotions in turmoil. He had been a âlapdogâ for decades, but now he was awakening to the reality. He wondered if it was too late.
Jiang Jun gritted his teeth, annoyed by Jiang Lingâerâs nonchalance. It seemed she was unfazed by the moral dilemma he presented.
Furrowing his brows, Jiang Jun said, âJiang Lingâer, have you lost all sense of morality? Our parents are on the brink of divorce, and instead of trying to mediate, you support this decision. What are you up to?â
Jiang Lingâer didnât take Jiang Junâs words seriously. She wore a disdainful smile and said, âYouâve been the favorite child for all these years. If you think theyâll listen to you, go ahead and try to persuade them. As for me, 1 support Dadâs decision.â
With that, Jiang Lingâer headed upstairs.
Jiang Jun turned to Jiang Hua and complained, âDad, did you see that? Whatâs her deal? Sheâs tearing our family apart, and youâre backing her up!â
Jiang Hua glanced at Jiang Jun, his expression stern. Jiang Hua said, âDo you expect me to continue favoring you as 1 did before?â
Jiang Jun became emotional and said, âIâm your son, Dad. You should be on my side. If 1 leave this family, Iâll have nothing left. But if Jiang Lingâer goes, she can easily find a good man, get married, and have a secure life. Isnât that right?â
Upon hearing Jiang Junâs words, Jiang Huaâs expression turned dark. Jiang Hua said coldly, âI have only one son and one daughter. As for you, you should ask your mother what you truly are.â
As Jiang Lingâer exited the bedroom, she overheard Jiang Huaâs words and felt there was a lot of information in them. However, she chose not to eavesdrop and went downstairs.
Jiang Lingâer said, âDad, 1 need to get back to class. Would you like to leave with me?â
Jiang Hua checked his watch and replied, âI need to leave as well. 1 have a meeting shortly.â
Jiang Jun was frightened by Jiang Huaâs words. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Previously, someone had said that Jiang Jun and Jiang Hua did not look alike. However, most of them said that it was because his motherâs genes were strong, but no one said that Jiang Jun was not Jiang Huaâs son.
Jiang Jun approached Jiang Hua, blocking his way, and said, âNo, Dad, please explain it clearly.â
Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Jun with seriousness and said, âAs for your parentage, ask your mother. 1 wonât explain further. Over the past twenty-plus years, 1 havenât mistreated you. In fact, youâve received more attention and resources than my own children. Instead, you suppressed my child because you were favored.â
Jiang Jun was really anxious this time. He shouted, âDadâ¦â
Without waiting for Jiang Jun to say anything, Jiang Hua coldly said, âIâve done my part. You donât need to call me âDadâ from now on.â
Jiang Jun was speechless.
Jiang Jun wanted to say something, but he couldnât say anything even after opening his mouth a few times. Everything had happened too suddenly, and Jiang Jun wasnât prepared at all.
Jiang Hua turned to Jiang Lingâer and said, âLingâer, letâs go. 1 need to head to the office. My car should be with Lin Lin, and she wonât be back for a while.â
Jiang Lingâer nodded and said, âAlright, Dad.â
Then, the father and daughter left.
Jiang Jun was left alone in the living room. After hesitating for a while, he called Lin Lin. Jiang Jun wanted to understand the situation, to see if it was true. However, after making several calls, Lin Lin didnât answer, and it eventually went straight to voicemail.
Frustrated, Jiang Jun considered throwing his phone, but the thought of what lay ahead made him regain his composure. He placed the phone on the table and ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes filled with confusion.
After spending half an hour in the living room, Jiang Jun went upstairs. Entering his bedroom, he saw a picture of Bai Xue on his computer screen, her innocent look and delicate smile.
Jiang Junâs mood immediately improved. However, he couldnât understand why his parents couldnât accept such a beautiful and popular girl..
