Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ling’er immediately understood why Wen Nuan’s 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, “Grandpa, you’re going too far. I asked Ling’er to take me in. Just because she let me stay with her, you think she’s not a good person? Does that mean all those people who mocked and ridiculed me when I was down and out are good people?”
Old Master Wen said angrily, “If she’s truly your friend, she should have persuaded you to come home instead of going along with your nonsense.”
Wen Nuan said coldly, “Grandpa, 1’11 tell you this: if one day you kick me out, 1 won’t be the Wen family’s wealthy heiress anymore, and the only one who will dare to take me in and support me is Jiang Ling’er.”
Old Master Wen was shocked by his granddaughter’s words. Was she placing too much importance on the Jiang girl?
It was right to value her friends, but Jiang Ling’er had a bad reputation. What if Wen Nuan picked up bad habits from her? Old Master Wen asked, “Nuannuan, how long have you known each other? How can you be so sure?”
Wen Nuan replied, “Grandpa, because of you, I’ve never lacked for friends, but tell me, who did 1 grow closer to? Before 1 met Ling’er, 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 family’s prestige.”
Wen Nuan continued, “When I had nowhere else to go, Ling’er helped me without hesitation. Now you’re saying she’s 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?”
After a brief pause, Wen Nuan said, “In simpler terms, if it weren’t for these family matters between us, and I just wanted to stay at Ling’er’s house for a few days, would you still think she’s not a good person, Grandpa? 1 understand your concerns, but right now, 1 don’t want to go home. I need some time alone, and 1 hope you can understand.”
Old Master Wen who had come to reprimand Wen Nuan, didn’t expect this response and became even angrier. He looked at Jiang Ling’er with an icy gaze.
Old Master Wen said, “If you dare to keep sheltering Wen Nuan, I’ll make the Jiang family disappear.”
Jiang Ling’er was stunned and looked at Old Master Wen, who appeared very serious. It didn’t 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 Ling’er believed that Old Master Wen wasn’t as ruthless as he portrayed himself to be.
Wen Nuan’s face turned pale, and she exclaimed, “Grandpa…”
Jiang Ling’er, on the other hand, remained calm and said, “It sounds scary, but Jiang’s assets are not that substantial.”
Old Master Wen was a little surprised to see that Jiang Ling’er was not afraid at all.
Old Master Wen, surprised by Jiang Ling’er’s lack of fear, responded coldly, “Aren’t you afraid? I’m not joking.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “The worst that can happen is starting over. Our Jiang family isn’t stupid, and we won’t starve.”
“Hmph…” Old Master Wen huffed and said, “You’re quite audacious.”
His face was cold and his temperament was overbearing.
Jiang Ling’er calmly retorted, “I’m just speaking the truth.”
Old Master Wen continued, “You don’t seem to be afraid of anything.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and remarked, “That’s because you gave me the courage.”
Wen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle, but he quickly stifled his laughter, feeling guilty.
Old Master Wen became furious and roared, “What’s so funny?”
Wen Mo quickly replied, “I didn’t laugh, Grandpa. 1 just sneezed.”
Old Master Wen, feeling embarrassed, roared, “You dare to talk back?”
Wen Mo apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I won’t talk back.”
Wen Mo didn’t want to provoke his grandfather any further; he was worried that the stress might lead to health problems.
“I’m going to die of anger,” Old Master Wen grumbled angrily. “You guys will be happy then, won’t you?”
Wen Mo thought to himself, ‘No one wants to be angry. You’re the one who wants to be angry.’
Old Master Wen turned to Wen Nuan and said, “Nuan Nuan, as long as you come home with me, I won’t cause trouble for the Jiang family. I’m telling you, I’m not joking. Don’t blame me if something happens to the Jiang family.”
Wen Nuan replied with self-mockery, “Heh… 1 really didn’t expect that you’d use this kind of method to make me come home.”
It was truly shameless.
Old Master Wen said sternly, “There are many things you didn’t expect, Nuannuan. You’re right, I’m threatening you. Isn’t she your best friend? Can you bear to watch her go from a rich girl in the Jiang family to a nobody?”
He then turned his gaze to Jiang Ling’er and continued, “Do you want to ruin the Jiang family for a friend you’ve just met?”
