Upon hearing these words, Jiang Lingâer immediately understood why Wen Nuanâs grandfather was angry with her, and there was no point in explaining.
Wen Nuan was furious. Her grandfather did not respect her friend at all.
Wen Nuan said, âGrandpa, youâre going too far. I asked Lingâer to take me in. Just because she let me stay with her, you think sheâs not a good person? Does that mean all those people who mocked and ridiculed me when I was down and out are good people?â
Old Master Wen said angrily, âIf sheâs truly your friend, she should have persuaded you to come home instead of going along with your nonsense.â
Wen Nuan said coldly, âGrandpa, 1â11 tell you this: if one day you kick me out, 1 wonât be the Wen familyâs wealthy heiress anymore, and the only one who will dare to take me in and support me is Jiang Lingâer.â
Old Master Wen was shocked by his granddaughterâs words. Was she placing too much importance on the Jiang girl?
It was right to value her friends, but Jiang Lingâer had a bad reputation. What if Wen Nuan picked up bad habits from her? Old Master Wen asked, âNuannuan, how long have you known each other? How can you be so sure?â
Wen Nuan replied, âGrandpa, because of you, Iâve never lacked for friends, but tell me, who did 1 grow closer to? Before 1 met Lingâer, I also wanted a friend to be by my side, but those friends were never genuine. They only stuck around for the sake of the Wen familyâs prestige.â
Wen Nuan continued, âWhen I had nowhere else to go, Lingâer helped me without hesitation. Now youâre saying sheâs not a good person? Then please tell me, who is a good person? Someone who turns a blind eye to suffering or someone who watches from the sidelines?â
After a brief pause, Wen Nuan said, âIn simpler terms, if it werenât for these family matters between us, and I just wanted to stay at Lingâerâs house for a few days, would you still think sheâs not a good person, Grandpa? 1 understand your concerns, but right now, 1 donât want to go home. I need some time alone, and 1 hope you can understand.â
Old Master Wen who had come to reprimand Wen Nuan, didnât expect this response and became even angrier. He looked at Jiang Lingâer with an icy gaze.
Old Master Wen said, âIf you dare to keep sheltering Wen Nuan, Iâll make the Jiang family disappear.â
Jiang Lingâer was stunned and looked at Old Master Wen, who appeared very serious. It didnât seem like a joke.
The original owner of her body had implicated the Jiang family for the sake of a man. Was she now going to ruin the Jiang family for the sake of a woman? No, Jiang Lingâer believed that Old Master Wen wasnât as ruthless as he portrayed himself to be.
Wen Nuanâs face turned pale, and she exclaimed, âGrandpaâ¦â
Jiang Lingâer, on the other hand, remained calm and said, âIt sounds scary, but Jiangâs assets are not that substantial.â
Old Master Wen was a little surprised to see that Jiang Lingâer was not afraid at all.
Old Master Wen, surprised by Jiang Lingâerâs lack of fear, responded coldly, âArenât you afraid? Iâm not joking.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and replied, âThe worst that can happen is starting over. Our Jiang family isnât stupid, and we wonât starve.â
âHmphâ¦â Old Master Wen huffed and said, âYouâre quite audacious.â
His face was cold and his temperament was overbearing.
Jiang Lingâer calmly retorted, âIâm just speaking the truth.â
Old Master Wen continued, âYou donât seem to be afraid of anything.â
Jiang Lingâer smiled and remarked, âThatâs because you gave me the courage.â
Wen Mo couldnât help but chuckle, but he quickly stifled his laughter, feeling guilty.
Old Master Wen became furious and roared, âWhatâs so funny?â
Wen Mo quickly replied, âI didnât laugh, Grandpa. 1 just sneezed.â
Old Master Wen, feeling embarrassed, roared, âYou dare to talk back?â
Wen Mo apologized, saying, âIâm sorry, Grandpa. I wonât talk back.â
Wen Mo didnât want to provoke his grandfather any further; he was worried that the stress might lead to health problems.
âIâm going to die of anger,â Old Master Wen grumbled angrily. âYou guys will be happy then, wonât you?â
Wen Mo thought to himself, âNo one wants to be angry. Youâre the one who wants to be angry.â
Old Master Wen turned to Wen Nuan and said, âNuan Nuan, as long as you come home with me, I wonât cause trouble for the Jiang family. Iâm telling you, Iâm not joking. Donât blame me if something happens to the Jiang family.â
Wen Nuan replied with self-mockery, âHeh⦠1 really didnât expect that youâd use this kind of method to make me come home.â
It was truly shameless.
Old Master Wen said sternly, âThere are many things you didnât expect, Nuannuan. Youâre right, Iâm threatening you. Isnât she your best friend? Can you bear to watch her go from a rich girl in the Jiang family to a nobody?â
He then turned his gaze to Jiang Lingâer and continued, âDo you want to ruin the Jiang family for a friend youâve just met?â
