He didn’t think that Jiang Yining did anything wrong.

Therefore, he wouldn’t force her to apologize to the Tao family.

If he did that, was he still worthy as her husband?

“Looks like you’re not happy.” Elder Tao was disappointed. He already made the effort to give Lu Zhi a way out, but he didn’t appreciate it!

So, he wanted to play hardball, huh?

Then let’s see if the Tao or the Lu family is stronger!

“There’s nothing 1 can do if Grandpa Tao wants to protect your granddaughter and make things difficult for my wife.” Lu Zhi retorted bluntly.

Elder Tao sneered.

He grabbed Tao Niannian’s hand and was about to walk out when Old Master Lu tried to mediate between the two parties.

“Hey, let’s talk things out. Don’t be in a hurry to leave.”

Unfortunately, Elder Tao had already concluded that Lu Zhi would not change his mind. He ignored Old Master Lu and continued to walk toward the door.

And at this moment, Jiang Yining walked into the living room.

She had heard their conversation and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

She knew that Lu Zhi had always protected her since they got married.

But she didn’t expect that he would be willing to fall out with the Tao family for her!

The Tao and Lu families had been friends for generations and the Tao family was one of the four major families in A-City!

Even a three-year-old child knew how disadvantageous it was for the Lu family if they offended the Taos!

Elder Tao and Tao Niannian bumped into Jiang Yining at the living room entrance.

“Jiang Yining, are you happy now? The Tao and Lu families are broken up now because of you!” Tao Niannian never expected things to escalate like this.

But it was too late to reverse the damage now!

Looking at Jiang Yining in front of her, she felt that everything was this woman’s fault!

“Oh?” Jiang Yining muttered before she looked at Elder Tao. “Old Master, do you really want to ruin the century-old relationship between the Tao and Lu families because of a minor conflict between me and your granddaughter?”

Elder Tao’s face was gloomy as he kept quiet.

“Alright. Looks like I’ve overestimated you, Old Master. I thought that since you’ve been in charge of the Tao family for so long that your wisdom and knowledge would far surpass everyone else, and everything you do will be for the benefit of the Tao family.” Jiang Yining sighed softly before she continued, “What you’re doing now is no different from ordinary people.”

She flattered him first and then belittled him!

Tao Niannian couldn’t take it anymore. “Who are you to say that about my grandfather?”

Jiang Yining ignored her and just stared at Elder Tao with a smile.

Elder Tao realized that he said such harsh words earlier because he felt that he had lost face in front of the younger generation.

But he was calmer now.

After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that there was no need to burn bridges with the Lus over such a small matter.

He kept quiet for a few more seconds before he said, “You are the one who started this. What right do you have to judge me?”

“We juniors are inexperienced and immature. A small conflict like this will blow over in a few days. What’s up with getting all the elders involved?” Jiang Yining raised her eyebrows meaningfully at Tao Niannian as she continued, “Some of us are not young anymore. If we always look for our elders for everything, we are just milk-drinking babies with no sense of independence at all. In my opinion, that renders all our growing up years useless.”

“Who are you calling a baby?”

Tao Niannian’s face turned red.

Jiang Yining blinked innocently. “1 didn’t say who. Miss Tao, don’t be so sensitive.”

“You…”

Tao Niannian ran out of arguments.

After glaring at Jiang Yining, she turned and complained to Elder Tao out of habit.

However, before she could say anything, Jiang Yining said nonchalantly while picking at her nails, “When I was bullied, I never complained to my family. We are all adults. If we can’t even solve our own problems, are we worthy as human beings?”

Tao Niannian swallowed the words that were at the tip of her tongue.

Elder Tao looked at his aggrieved granddaughter and then at the calm and composed Jiang Yining. He felt a great disappointment in his heart.

He used to think that it was a disgrace for the Lu family when they took a granddaughter-in-law of ordinary background.

But after the current comparison, this girl was way more competent than his granddaughter.

She would definitely make a name for herself in future!

He doted on Niannian and could protect her for a while, but he couldn’t protect her forever.

If they were to become enemies with the Lu family and Jiang Yining over this matter…

Jiang Yining might make life difficult for Niannian after he was gone.

Niannian was probably no match for her.

Elder Tao came around, but he couldn’t just leave things be. So, he replied calmly, “Miss Jiang is right. The conflicts between the juniors should be resolved between themselves without involving others. However, the conflict between you and the Pan family couldn’t have been resolved without All Zhi. Please correct yourself before you criticize others.”

“I never wanted to drag Ah Zhi into it but he’s overprotective of me and intervened without my knowledge. By the time 1 wanted to stop him, it was already too late.” Jiang Yining suddenly gave him a closed-mouth smile. “Come to think of it, what he did was no different from what Elder Tao is doing now for your granddaughter.”

Elder Tao expression eased up slightly.

Her words were quite pleasant to the ear.

“Elder Tao, 1 don’t think 1 did anything wrong in dealing with Pan Qi.” Jiang Yining thought that it was about time they addressed the elephant in the room. “Your granddaughter had an argument with me because she was protective of her friend. We are both wrong for having this altercation. Since you’ve come looking for me, 1’11 apologize to her first. As an elder, please be magnanimous and not sour the relationship between our families because of our silly altercation.”

Jiang Yining took the initiative to back down.

Elder Tao’s anger finally dissipated.

But Tao Niannian wasn’t willing to let it go. “But you hit me! You think that a simple sorry will make everything okay?”

“Then what does Miss Tao want? As long as it’s reasonable, I’ll make it up to you.” Jiang Yining said, suppressing her anger. She didn’t want to ruin the relationship between the Taos and the Lus.

“Pour tea for me and apologize to me in front of the whole school.” Tao Niannian said arrogantly with her chin raised.

The smile on Jiang Yining’s face disappeared instantly.

“Don’t even think about it!” Lu Zhi’s cold voice sounded in the air.

He then appeared behind Jiang Yining, hugged her from behind holding her wrists and stared angrily at Tao Niannian.

“It looks like your apology is not sincere at all! 1 don’t accept it!”

Tao Niannian stomped her feet in anger. Since young, no one except her grandfather could teach her a lesson!

Ye Xiaoxi and Jiang Yining had humiliated her, and they must pay the price!

She would never let it go so easily!

“If you don’t accept it, then forget it!” Lu Zhi refused to give in.

Tension rose again because of this new dispute.

Elder Tao frowned.

Niannian was too impulsive. Jiang Yining had given them a way out just now, but she refused to go along and had to make things worse.

She made it difficult for him to intervene now.

“Elder Tao, what do you…” Seeing Tao Niannian’s unyielding attitude, Jiang Yining tried to get a breakthrough through Elder Tao.

However, she had just started speaking when Tao Niannian held Elder Tao’s arm and pulled him along toward the door. “Grandpa, let’s not bother with these two lunatics!”

Elder Tao staggered from her tugging.

But in the end, he couldn’t swallow his pride and followed his granddaughter out.

Jiang Yining’s heart fell. She wanted to chase after them and apologize but Lu Zhi restrained her and did not allow her to leave his embrace.

Jiang Yining struggled a few times, but to no avail. She looked back at him helplessly and said, “Lu Zhi, I’m doing this for you.”

“You don’t need to make concessions for my benefit.” Lu Zhi articulated his sentiment clearly as he stared at her with his dark eyes..
