Upon hearing Wen Nuanâs words, Bai Xueâs expression grew even darker. Li Yan had personally baked the cake? If she had known that, Bai Xue would have eaten it. But since Li Yan gave the first slice of cake to Jiang Lingâer, Bai Xue pretended to be on a diet and hadnât eaten a bite. She gave all to others.
Jiang Lingâer couldnât help but feel annoyed. Even if Wen Nuan wanted to provoke Bai Xue, did it have to involve Li Yan?
Wen Nuan smiled and said, âYou probably dislike the color blue because Lingâer likes it, right? Youâre even jealous of colors. How can you not be envious of Lingâerâs great resources?â
Bai Xue stubbornly replied, âIâve said I donât want to argue with you here.â
Wen Nuan replied coldly, âThen watch your mouth and donât say anything that would make people want to scold you.â
Bai Xue opened her mouth but didnât say anything.
Wen Nuan said, âMaybe after Lingâer really let him go, Li Yan also realized Lingâerâs good qualities. So, he used your birthday banquet as an opportunity to reconcile with Lingâer.â
Jiang Lingâer coughed lightly and said, âWen Nuan, donât talk nonsense. Even if Li Yan is no longer on her side, it doesnât mean there arenât other people around Miss Bai. If they go crazy with adoration later, we wonât be able to fend them all off.â
Wen Nuan said, âAlright, Iâm too lazy to argue with her anyway.â
Jiang Lingâer looked at Chen Yino and said, âLittle Six, Iâll go back and discuss it with my family, and Iâll get back to you soon. We have classes now, so you should go back too.â
Chen Yinuo checked the time and said, âAlright, 1â11 wait for your reply.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and nodded. She wasnât completely sure about this decision.
After Chen Yino left, Wen Nuan whispered, âLingâer, why didnât you straightaway accept such a great opportunity?â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and replied, âBecause I donât know anything. Grandfather is well-versed in the world, so itâs beneficial to consult with him. There are no downsides.â
When Wen Nuan heard this, she immediately understood.
As the school bell rang, the conversation came to an end.
After school, Wen Nuan and Jiang Lingâer hadnât even left the classroom when Wen Nuanâs grandfather, her brother, and a few security personnel arrived.
Their sudden entrance caused a commotion.
Old Master Wen entered the classroom and began to scrutinize Jiang Lingâer.
He asked indifferently, âWhat is your relationship with our familyâs Nuannuan?â
Jiang Lingâer replied, âHello, Grandpa Wen. Nuannuan and I are good friends.â
Old Master Wenâs attitude made Jiang Lingâer uneasy, as he responded contemptuously, âI donât have a granddaughter like you.â
Jiang Lingâer sneered in her heart. The old man was really unkind.
Bai Xue, who had yet to leave the classroom, almost jumped up in joy upon hearing Old Master Wenâs words.
She believed that Jiang Lingâer, the annoying person, was not welcomed by Wen Nuanâs family, especially Wen Nuanâs grandfather.
It seemed like he had a strong aversion to her. If Jiang Lingâer were to be banned from mixing with the Wen family, it would be a great outcome.
Wen Nuan, who overheard her grandfatherâs words, was annoyed. She said, âGrandfather, youâre going too far.â
Jiang Lingâer stopped Wen Nuan and apologized, âIâm sorry, Old Master Wen, I misspoke.â
âAt least youâre sensible.â Old Master Wen said contemptuously.
Then, Wen Nuanâs grandfather turned his gaze to Wen Nuan and said, âNuannuan, donât associate with her anymore. Your brain doesnât work as well as hers, and you might suffer.â
Jiang Lingâer couldnât help but find it amusing. Old Master Wen was truly peculiar. Did he want his granddaughter to be with someone worse than her?
Thereâs an old saying that goes, âHe that lies down with dogs shall rise with fleas.â Did he intend to keep his granddaughter away from good people?
Wen Nuan was angry at this point. She said directly, âMy brain doesnât work well because I inherited your sonâs brain. Isnât this his fault?â
âNuannuan, what are you saying?â Old Master Wen asked. âLook at you. What have you been learning recently? Come home with me immediately. Youâre not allowed to associate with people like her in the future.â
After that, Old Master Wen shot Jiang Lingâer a stern look. He believed that spending too much time with Jiang Lingâer had led his beloved granddaughter to become so rebellious.
Jiang Lingâer smiled but did not say anything. She did not know how she had offended Old Master Wen to the point that he disliked her so much. However, it did not matter. Jiang Lingâer knew there was no way one could be liked by everyone.
Wenâs brother, Wen Mo, cautiously said, âGrandfather, 1 think youâre being biased against Lingâer.â
Old Master Wen glared at him and said, âShut up.â
Wen Mo had to keep silent.
Old Master Wen then looked at Jiang Lingâer with disdain and said, âSheâs not a good person. When Nuannuan ran away from home, she didnât try to persuade her to come back home. Instead, she let Nuannuan stay with her.. Whatâs the meaning of that? Is she trying to destroy my relationship with Nuannuan?â
