The Bet
Old Master Jiang said calmly, “It’s a bet between Jun and Ling’er.”
Puzzled, Lin Lin asked, “A bet?”
Lin Lin looked at Jiang Ling’er and said angrily, “Ling’er, was it your idea? Why are you so cruel? Jun is your brother. What kind of deep hatred do you have for him? How dare you drive him out of the Jiang Family?”
Jiang Ling’er’s eyes flashed with coldness. She said coldly, “As my biological brother, he maliciously destroyed my reputation. That’s why it’s reasonable for me to want to chase him away. Moreover, that’s not all. He’s still trying to harm me.”
Lin Lin was so angry that she almost fainted. She said angrily, “Jiang Ling’er, why are you so vicious? Could it be that Li Yan doesn’t like you and you’re too jealous of others?”
Jiang Ling’er frowned. After being silent for a moment, she smiled and said, “How can you say that? I can’t help but wonder if I’m your biological daughter.”
Lin Lin roared in agitation, “Impudent! I really don’t know why the heavens made me give birth to you and cause me so much trouble!”
Jiang Ling’er said coldly, “I’m vicious? Yep, then you’re definitely my biological mother!”
Jiang Ling’er was very glad that she was not the original host of the body and had no feelings for the woman in front of her. Otherwise, she would definitely be heartbroken.
Lin Lin glared at Jiang Ling’er and became even angrier. She looked at Old Master Jiang and said, “Dad, you heard what Jiang Ling’er said.”
Old Master Jiang shot Lin Lin a cold look and said, “What should I listen to? Do you think Ling’er will be fine if she loses? Ling’er wants to get into the top three. If she doesn’t get into the top three, the person who will leave will be Jiang Ling’er. Their bet is very fair.”
Hearing that Jiang Jun would only be kicked out if Ling’er got into the top three, Lin Lin was relieved. With Ling’er’s grades, it would be a miracle if she could get the top three. This time, it would be Ling’er who would leave, not her precious son.
Lin Lin’s face was stiff as she squeezed out a difficult expression and said hypocritically, “Dad, this bet isn’t a good one. No matter who leaves, I’ll be very sad.”
How could Old Master Jiang not see through Lin Lin’s thoughts? He scolded her sternly, “If you’re sad, then hold it in!”
Lin Lin was even more embarrassed. Then, she looked at Ling’er while revealing a motherly look. Lin Lin said, “Ling’er, aren’t you aware of your own current results? Aren’t you courting death? Why? What benefits can you get from this?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Benefits? Well, Jiang Jun getting cut off from the family seems worth it enough to me. At least he won’t be able to afford to hire fake reviewers to defame me.”
Lin Lin’s expression changed drastically. Lin Lin said, “You said that Jun spent money to hire fake reviewers to slander you? I think it’s more like he hired people to save you, right?”
“Why don’t you take a guess?” Jiang Ling’er said contemptuously.
Lin Lin glared at Jiang Ling’er angrily. Lin Lin said, “Jiang Ling’er, what kind of attitude is that? No matter what, Jun is your brother, your biological brother. If he’s kicked out by the Jiang family, what should he do in the future?”
There was only coldness on Jiang Ling’er’s face as she said coldly, “Don’t you and him both think that I’ll fail terribly? Since you’re so sure that I’ll lose, why are you still worried about him being kicked out? On the other hand, if I lose, I’ll lose my reputation. Are you even concerned about what I’ll do in the future?”
Lin Lin said disdainfully, “You? How can you compare to your brother?”
Jiang Ling’er glared at Lin Lin. Her eyes became colder and colder. The atmosphere dropped to the freezing point.
Lin Lin was frightened by Jiang Ling’er’s look. She said, “Jiang Ling’er, you… What kind of expression is that?”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Lin Lin coldly and said, “I know that you don’t care about my reputation. Anyway, I’ve already done my best for Jiang Jun all these while.”
If Jiang Jun had not gone too far, Jiang Ling’er would not have bothered to pick a bone with him. However, since Jiang Jun had asked for it, one couldn’t blame Ling’er for her decision to take things into her hands.
Actually, Lin Lin knew many things in her heart, but Lin Lin felt that whatever Jiang Jun did wasn’t wrong. She just felt that it was normal for Jiang Jun to educate his sister.
Lin Lin said, “Even if Jiang Jun did something, he’s still your biological brother. Why do you have to be so ruthless? Besides, aren’t you afraid you’ll lose because of your results? Or do you think Old Master Jiang will change his mind later on?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled disdainfully. She said, “What a joke. Just because he’s my biological brother, I have to forgive him no matter what he does to me?”
Lin Lin nodded and said matter-of-factly, “That’s right!”
