Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Grandpa Is My Strongest Backing

Jiang Ling’er heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her grandfather’s words. As long as her grandfather could support her, the other Jiang family members wouldn’t dare say otherwise.

…

Birchwood Park.

Lin Lin carried her bag and walked into the house angrily.

Hearing someone enter, Jiang Hua put down the newspaper in his hand and looked in the direction of the door. When he saw Lin Lin’s angry face, Jiang Hua frowned. Jiang Hua said, “You’re back so soon? Weren’t you going to the beauty salon and playing mahjong all night?”

Lin Lin handed the bag in her hand to the maid who was waiting at the side. Lin Lin said, “It’s all your precious daughter’s fault for making me so angry.”

“What did Ling’er do this time?” Jiang Hua asked indifferently.

Lin Lin entered the house and walked to Jiang Hua’s side. She sat on the sofa and said angrily, “Your precious daughter is getting more and more overboard. She actually wants to participate in the National Advanced Mathematics Competition. Isn’t your daughter’s results as embarrassing as it is? I don’t know what sins we’d committed in the past to give birth to such a shameless daughter.”

Jiang Hua’s expression turned a little ugly. A long time ago, Jiang Hua knew that Lin Lin didn’t like their daughter. In the past, when their daughter didn’t work hard, Lin Lin would often humiliate her. Now that her daughter wanted to work hard, as a mother, no matter how much Lin Lin disliked her, she shouldn’t say such things about their daughter.

Jiang Hua said, “Dad has already called me about Ling’er. I think it’s good. It’s better than not working hard at all.”

Lin Lin was stunned and a little dissatisfied. The old man had contacted Jiang Hua so quickly. D*mn, he was fast!

Lin Lin said, “Dad dotes on Jiang Ling’er too much, so Jiang Ling’er is behaving so outrageously now. Did Dad explain the situation to you?”

Jiang Hua nodded and said, “Dad has already told me that if Ling’er gets into the top three, Jun will be kicked out of the Jiang Family. On the contrary, if Ling’er doesn’t get into the top three, she will leave the Jiang Family. It’s very fair.”

When Lin Lin heard Jiang Hua’s calm words, she couldn’t accept it. She said excitedly, “Jiang Hua, are you crazy? How is this fair? Jiang Ling’er will marry an outsider sooner or later. It doesn’t matter if she leaves the Jiang family or not. But when we get old in the future, we will have to rely on our son to support us.”

Jiang Hua’s face turned cold. Jiang Hua said, “Lin Lin, do you even hear what you’re saying?”

Lin Lin also realized that her words were a little too harsh. She immediately put on a smile and said, “Hua, Ling’er is also important to us, but I’m telling the truth. Our daughter will belong to another family sooner or later. She causes trouble every day and constantly embarrasses the Jiang Family. What else can she do other than bury us in shame time after time?”

Jiang Hua said in a daze, “Lin Lin, I know you don’t like your daughter. Ling’er wasn’t good in the past, but she is Father’s precious granddaughter. If you want to live a good life in the Jiang family, you should come to your senses, otherwise, you’ll be kicked out of the family sooner or later, just like your precious son.

Lin Lin stood up instantly and looked at Jiang Hua angrily. She shouted, “Jiang Hua, what do you mean by this?”

Jiang Hua glanced at Lin Lin and then continued to read the newspaper in his hand. He said coldly, “In your eyes, Ling’er will be an outsider sooner or later, but in my father’s eyes, Ling’er will always be his most beloved granddaughter. On the other hand, you have no blood relation to my father at all. Who do you think he will side? You or Ling ‘er?”

Lin Lin’s face darkened and she shouted sharply, “Jiang Hua, I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for you. How could you turn your back on me and call me an outsider now?!”

Jiang Hua didn’t want to continue arguing with Lin Lin, so he said, “If you don’t want us to treat you as an outsider, then don’t say things like a daughter will be an outsider sooner or later. What Jun did to Ling’er wasn’t something an elder brother should ever do. You should be glad that it was Ling’er who is teaching Jun a lesson, not my father.”

Jiang Hua’s cold warning woke Lin Lin up. She felt a little scared and her attitude softened again. Lin Lin said, “But… No matter what, Jun is Ling’er’s brother.”

Jiang Hua looked at Lin Lin again, and said, “In the future, don’t bring up the fact that he’s her brother as a point of argument. Since he’s her brother, why would he harm his own sister? He was so vicious, yet he didn’t even think to apologize to her. To top it off, he’s still slandering her. Do you think she, or anyone for that fact, would be able to be so forgiving?”

When Lin Lin heard these words, she felt a little weak. However, she still scrambled to defend her precious son, “But …”

Before Lin Lin could finish, Jiang Hua interrupted her and said, “No more ‘buts’. Jun is not a good brother. This is a battle between Jun and Ling’er. If he loses, my father will never let Jun stay in the Jiang family. You should should stay out of this.”
