Jiang Ling’er sighed and said, “Old Master Wen, if Nuannuan encounters any difficulties, I will definitely help. As for my family, if you insist on doing this, 1 don’t think they will just sit back and let you have your way. 1’11 say it again, at worst, we can always start over again.”
Wen Nuan said, “Ling’er…”
Wen Nuan clenched her fists, her eyes welling up with tears. She didn’t know if her grandfather would take action against the Jiang family, but her grandfather was a man of his word.
Even in this dangerous situation, Jiang Ling’er continued to protect her. How could Wen Nuan not be moved?
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan and said earnestly, “Nuannuan, I’m not being impulsive. You’re worth it.”
Wen Nuan nodded and said, “Ling’er, just for saying that, 1, Wen Nuan, will not allow you to be wronged, and 1 won’t let anyone harm the Jiang family.”
Jiang Ling’er said sincerely, “Nuannuan, I’m not being wronged. When 1 was being slandered, many people were just spectators. You were the only one who stood up for me. Some people may not believe those rumors, but they all remained silent, and some even tried to harm me at my lowest.”
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Ling’er continued, “Nuannuan, my grandfather has said that you’re welcome to visit our Jiang family regularly. It’s not just a formality; he knows that you are my friend, the friend I’ve chosen.”
Wen Nuan nodded and said with a smile, “Alright, I understand.”
Wen Nuan looked at her grandfather and said, “Grandfather, I will go back with you.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen Nuan with a puzzled expression and asked, “Nuannuan?”
Wen Nuan said seriously, “Ling’er, I know you’re not afraid, but if my presence causes trouble for the Jiang family, I won’t be at ease. Anyway, that guy and I will only officially date after graduation. Who knows, he might already have a new lover by the time I graduate.”
Jiang Ling’er fell silent for a moment and said, “Nuannuan, 1 respect your decision. But if you ever need me, just let me know.”
Wen Nuan said, “Alright, I’m heading back now. See you tomorrow.”
Wen Nuan waved her hand and left the classroom.
Old Master Wen watched his granddaughter leave, feeling quite uneasy. Normally, he should be happy that his granddaughter was willing to return, but at this moment, Old Master Wen didn’t feel joyous. He felt like he had pushed his granddaughter away.
Old Master Wen said, “Wen Mo, let’s go too.”
After saying that, he led everyone out.
Wen Mo looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “Ling’er, don’t take this to heart. Grandpa is just worried about Nuannuan.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “I understand.”
Wen Mo instinctively raised his hand and gently stroked Jiang Ling’er’s hair with affection. He said, “As long as you understand. 1 don’t want you to have any negative impressions of my grandpa because of this.”
Being touched by Wen Mo’s affectionate gesture, Jiang Ling’er felt a bit embarrassed and added, “I also know that Old Master Wen is doing this for Nuannuan’s sake. Wen Mo, you should catch up with them and not keep them waiting for too long.”
Wen Mo nodded and then turned to leave as well.
Wen Mo’s previous action did not escape Bai Xue’s notice, and she felt incredibly jealous. After Wen Mo left, Bai Xue quickly approached Jiang Ling’er.
Bai Xue said, “Ling’er, 1 know you have a good relationship with Miss Wen, but it seems that Old Master Wen is really angry. You can’t let your impulsiveness destroy the Jiang family.”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Bai Xue and replied, “Hah… Destroying the Jiang family? Isn’t that what you hope for?”
Bai Xue pretended to be upset, saying, “Ling’er, I’m just trying to remind you out of concern. How can you that?”
Jiang Ling’er scoffed and said, “I don’t need your reminders about my family’s affairs. Instead of worrying about me, you should think about how to secure a permanent position in your company.”
Bai Xue’s face turned dark, but she continued to feign concern, saying, “Ling’er, it’s just a matter of time before Li Yan and 1 get married. You can’t be too willful. It’s not good to offend the Wen family. If the Wen family really takes action against you, the Jiang family won’t stand a chance. You’ll regret it.”
Jiang Ling’er chose not to respond to Bai Xue’s comments and walked away.
After Jiang Ling’er left, a male student who had an infatuation for Bai Xue approached her.
The boy said, “Bai Xue, it looks like the friendship between Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan has come to an end.”
Of course, that’s what Bai Xue thought, but she couldn’t show it too openly. She said, “Don’t say that. Ling’er is very determined. Who knows, she might make Old Master Wen change his mind.”
The boy scoffed and said, “1 don’t think that’s possible. The way Old Master Wen looked at Jiang Ling’er, he almost looked like he wanted to kill her on the spot.. How could he let Wen Nuan continue to befriend her?”
