Chapter 27: Chapter 27

Beyond Saving

Old Master Jiang shouted angrily, “Shut up, you traitorous piece of trash. It seems that you don’t understand what it means to be bound together for good or ill.”

Old master Jiang was extremely furious. Things had already come to this, but Jiang Jun still refused to admit his mistake. He was truly beyond saving.

Jiang Jun was startled by the old man’s sudden roar. The old man was quite scary normally, and now that he was angry, he was even more terrifying.

Just as he was about to continue explaining, a voice came from the door. “Father, what’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”

Seeing the person who came in, Jiang Ling’er was stunned. This woman should be the mother of the original owner of the body. She looked so much like Jiang Jun.

Lin Lin was dressed like a rich lady, and she looked very fashionable and young. Lin Lin smiled and walked in front of Old Master Jiang, and said in a flattering manner, “Dad.”

Old Master Jiang nodded his head.

Seeing that the old man was still angry, Lin Lin looked at Jiang Ling’er. Lin Lin’s face instantly turned cold. Lin Lin asked, “Jiang Ling’er, did you provoke grandfather?”

When Elder Jiang heard Lin Lin questioning Jiang Ling’er, he frowned and said, “Lin Lin, why do you think Ling’er is the one who angered me?”

Lin Lin was stunned for a moment before awkwardly saying, “Dad, I didn’t mean it by that. It’s just that Jiang Ling’er is always causing trouble.”

Old Master Jiang was already angry, but Lin Lin’s words made him even angrier. He said, “No matter what happens, you guys are quick to blame Ling’er. Both you mother and son are just alike!”

Lin Lin was embarrassed and immediately glared at Jiang Ling ‘er. She said, “Dad, don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I should’ve figured out what happened first. So, what happened just now?”

Old Master Jiang took a sip of tea and said, “Ling’er is going to participate in the mathematics competition.”

Lin Lin was a little stunned. Then, she smiled and said mockingly, “Dad, don’t joke around.”

Jiang Ling’er found it even more unbelievable. From the looks of it, the mother of the original body did not have a good relationship with the original body.

When Old Master Jiang heard Lin Lin’s words, he frowned even more. He then said, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

After a moment of silence, Lin Lin said seriously, “Ling’er, I can understand that you want to be a good student, but don’t you know your own strength?

“If others want to join the competition, then so be it. No one will pay attention even if they fail. But you’re the young miss of the Jiang family. Many media outlets will pay attention to this matter. If you don’t do well, you won’t be the only one embarrassed.”

“I haven’t even gone through it yet, and you already think I’ve embarrassed the Jiang family?” Jiang Ling’er said.

Jiang Ling’er could clearly sense that her mother was very repulsed and hated her. She was very puzzled. What was the reason? Could it be that Jiang Ling’er was not her biological daughter at all? Or could it be that her mother favored boys over girls?

Lin Lin said, “You child, why are you so insensible? How dare you talk back?”

Lin Lin was very dissatisfied. This daughter of hers was a good-for-nothing. She only had a pretty face and nothing else.

Jiang Ling’er sneered. Was she looking for trouble? Was there something wrong with the original host’s mother’s brain? She even said that she liked Bai Xue just like Jiang Jun. Is that why she spoke up for Jiang Jun?

Old Master Jiang said, “Lin Lin, when did Ling’er talk back? How could you treat her this way?”

Lin Lin frowned. She knew that the old master doted on Jiang Ling’er very much. Because of this, Lin Lin had never been too harsh on Jiang Ling’er.

Lin Lin said, “Dad, you’re spoiling Ling’er too much. This isn’t good.”

Elder Jiang looked at Lin Lin calmly. Elder Jiang said, “Ling’er didn’t do anything wrong. It isn’t right to say that Ling’er was wrong.”

Lin Lin smiled awkwardly. What was wrong with this old man today? Why was he looking for trouble? Lin Lin immediately said, “Dad, I don’t mean anything. I just feel that you dote on Jiang Ling’er too much.”

Old Master Jiang said impatiently, “Alright, since you’re back, I’ll officially inform you that if Ling’er can get into the top three in the Advanced Mathematics Competition, I’ll kick Jiang Jun out of the Jiang Family. I won’t care about him anymore after that.”

Lin Lin’s eyes widened when she heard this. She said in a panic, “Dad, how… how could you agree with this? Jun is your eldest grandson. Besides, if Jiang Ling’er ended up in the top three, why would we have to chase Jun out of the family? Dad, you have to explain this clearly.”
