Old Master Wen, upon hearing Jiang Lingâerâs words, had a somewhat exasperated expression.
He said, âRumors are just rumors and will eventually be revealed for what they are. Young lady, donât try to argue with me.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and responded, âOld Master Wen, you see, even in a hypothetical situation, you would retaliate against me. But how would your so-called good man react? If he were truly a victim, why wouldnât he fight back or take responsibility? Isnât it because he feels guilty or perhaps willingly went along with it? When everything has happened, he âtakes on the responsibilityâ for the other woman. This person seems so noble and responsible, yet he doesnât consider his fianceeâs feelings at all. Does she not deserve some respect? So, there is something wrong with this person.â
Jiang Lingâer paused for a moment and continued, âIn Nuannuanâs eyes, he is not a suitable match. Whether she accepts him or not depends on his capabilities. No matter how much praise he receives from others, it wonât work. It will only make Nuannuan more resistant to him.â
Old Master Wen remained silent for a while and then said, âLetâs put this matter aside and let them figure it out naturally. I wonât let Nuannuan be unhappy.â
With that, he turned to Jiang Lingâer and asked, âSo, what do you want to do next? Right now, in Nuannuanâs heart, Iâm not as important as you. Donât expect me to compromise.â
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingâer looked at the arrogant Old Master Wen and could not help but want to laugh.
She said, âOld Master Wen, youâre mistaken. In Nuannuanâs heart, thereâs no one more important than you.â
Old Master Wen asked, âIs that so?â
He felt that Jiang Lingâer was not as bad as he initially thought after ail.
Jiang Lingâer smiled. It seemed that her flattery was correct.
Jiang Lingâer chuckled and continued, âOf course. People like you who donât think much of me are numerous. There are many in our class. Whenever they bully me, Nuannuan always supports me. Even though sheâs furious on my behalf, she never gets sad for me.â
She then adopted a more serious tone and said, âBut when someone who doesnât appreciate me is you, Nuannuan canât accept it. After all, in her heart, Iâm her best friend, and you, who she respects, looks down on her best friend. How could she not be sad?â
Jiang Lingâer observed Old Master Wenâs expression and continued, âNuannuan sincerely treats me as a best friend, but you donât accept me. Instead, youâre forcing her to marry a man she dislikes. In Nuannuanâs sensitive nature, she must think of herself as your pawn, and that she is nothing but a passing thought for you.â
At this moment, Old Master Wenâs expression turned grave.
Jiang Lingâer said, âI donât need you to approve of me, but you are you, and Nuannuan is Nuannuan. Just because you donât like me, you shouldnât make me cut ties with Nuannuan.â
Old Master Wen remained silent.
It had to be said that what Jiang Lingâer said made sense.
Jiang Lingâer looked at Old Master Wen and saw that he was starting to accept these points.
She asked, âMorning will be over soon. Can 1 visit Nuannuan in the evening? 1 have other matters to attend to this afternoon.â
After some thought, he nodded and said, âAlright, for now, thereâs no other option, and no one else can comfort her. 1 also donât have any other engagements this evening, so you can go and see Nuannuan. You should be heading back now; itâs almost time for classes.â
Jiang Lingâer breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Old Master Wen had compromised.
After bidding farewell to Old Master Wen, she left.
In the afternoon, Jiang Lingâerâs grandfather came to the school and asked the principal for permission to excuse Jiang Lingâer from school.
Then, the two of them, along with Little Six, went to the Chen Group.
They waited for a while in the conference room, and then Chen Yizhou entered with his assistant.
Chen Yizhou stepped forward to shake hands with Old Master Jiang and exchanged a few polite words.
He looked at Jiang Lingâer and said, âMiss Jiang, we meet again. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.â
Despite his smiling demeanor, Chen Yizhou exuded an aura of authority, which was impossible to ignore. Jiang Lingâer, however, remained unfazed. She shook hands with Chen Yizhou in a confident and open manner.
Jiang Lingâer replied, âMr. Chen, hello. 1 also look forward to our cooperation.â
Jiang Lingâer couldnât wait to audition immediately and enjoy wearing jade ornaments.
Chen Yizhou couldnât detect any nervousness from Jiang Lingâer, which pleased him. He noticed that this young woman had an excellent mental attitude.
Jiangâs grandfather observed this interaction and was also somewhat surprised. His granddaughterâs mental composure was impressive. Facing someone of Chen Yizhouâs stature, she remained calm and self-assured.
Chen Yizhou gestured to his assistant.
The assistant stepped forward and said, âMr. Chen, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged..â
