Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but inwardly sneer at Old Master Li’s statement. Although he appeared to be reprimanding Bai Xue, it was evident that he was hinting to her about not going public with the videos and pictures. The condition was clear: Li Yan had to apologize and help restore Jiang Ling’er’s tarnished reputation.
If they could publicly annul the engagement and have Li Yan personally apologize, it would be a significant victory for Jiang Ling’er. She realized that she needed to provide Old Master Li with some reassurance.
“Grandpa Li, please rest assured. While she may have no shame, I won’t tarnish the reputation of both our families over this. If the Li and Jiang families engage in a public feud over such a matter, it won’t benefit any of us, and we’ll become the laughingstock of outsiders,” Jiang Ling’er said.
When Old Master Li heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The preservation of the Li family’s honor was essential to him. He felt guilty and said, “Ling’er, thank you for allowing the Li family to save face. I’m sorry you had to go through this.”
“Grandpa Li, when we cancel the engagement and your granddaughter-in-law stops provoking me, this matter will be over.” Jiang Ling’er shook her head and said.
Bai Xue’s audacity stemmed from Li Yan’s indulgence and the knowledge that the original Jiang Ling’er deeply loved Li Yan. She believed that Jiang Ling’er would never release those videos.
However, Jiang Ling’er was not the original one, and if Bai Xue continued to provoke her, she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.
Old Master Li felt his chest tighten again. How could he teach such a shameless woman a lesson? His grandson was also disobedient.
Old Master Li suffered another bout of chest discomfort, and Jiang Ling’er couldn’t afford for him to collapse. She reassured him, saying, “Grandpa Li, don’t worry. I’ll keep my word. However, if Bai Xue continues to harass me after we annul the engagement, 1 hope you won’t intervene on Li Yan’s behalf.”
Old Master Li heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I understand.”
Jiang Ling’er sighed lightly and said, “Grandpa Li, don’t blame me for being too cautious. I’ve endured so much because of your granddaughter-in-law’s actions. You might have heard about the negative rumors surrounding me. My patience has its limits.”
At this point, Jiang Ling’er paused and looked at Old Master Li’s expression. After confirming that his condition was stable, Jiang Ling’er continued, “Now that everyone knows Bai Xue is Li Yan’s girlfriend, what am I? A mistress? Or the kind that doesn’t know shame and isn’t loved? Even if I’m labeled as such, Bai Xue still refuses to leave me alone. Before she tarnishes my reputation further, she provoked me. I can’t guarantee that after we annul the engagement, she won’t continue her harassment. That’s why I must keep some leverage.”
Old Master Li closed his eyes. He had to admit that Jiang Ling’er’s concerns were valid. Old Master Li was helpless and said angrily, “Wang Ying, tell Li Yan to come back immediately. Make sure it’s just him.”
Old Master Li did not want to see a shameless b*tch.
Wang Ying knew that Old Master Li was really angry. She said, “Okay, Dad, I’ll call him right away.”
Wang Ying had just stood up when Old Master Li said,” Wang Ying, wait a moment. Ask Li Jin to come back too. If we don’t discipline that son of yours properly, he’ll be ruined. It’s not just about finding a girlfriend; they should at least be kind and understand the principles of integrity and shame. How can a member of the Li family be so shameless?”
Wang Ying felt extremely embarrassed. It was true that she hadn’t raised her son well. She said, “Alright, Dad, I’ll call Li Jin right away. Please don’t get too agitated.”
Old Master Li waved his hand and said, “Go quickly; I’ll be fine.”
After Wang Ying left, it took Li Yan about thirty minutes to return to the Li family home.
He entered the room and found all three generations of the Jiang family present.
Seeing the three Jiang family members present, Li Yan was frustrated and greeted them coldly.
Seeing them, Li Yan’s mood worsened, and he greeted them coldly, “Old Jiang, Mr. Jiang, hello.”
Old Jiang? Old Master Jiang was very dissatisfied with the way the youngster addressed him, but when he thought about the soon-to-be annulment of the engagement, he let the matter go. Old Master Jiang replied, “Hello.”
Jiang Hua also nodded his head politely. Li Yan’s attitude showed his arrogance. Could he not even address him as “Uncle Jiang”?
Seeing his grandson like this, Old Master Li said seriously, “Old Jiang and I are old pals. You’re not even willing to address him as Grandpa Jiang?”
Old Master Jiang didn’t care about the address. He immediately responded, “Old Li, don’t be angry. Kids grow up and have their own thoughts. Why force it?”
Li Yan frowned, feeling contemptuous. He then cast a cold glance at Jiang Ling’er and asked, “Why did you come to our house? What did you tell my grandfather?”
Jiang Ling’er, with a half-smile, replied, “Nothing much. Your girlfriend, Bai Xue, sent me explicit videos of the two of you. I just showed them to Grandpa Li and Aunt Wang..”
