Mr. and Mrs. Wen were speechless.
Previously, Old Master Wen said that Jiang Ling’er’s character was bad and that she was an idiot. And now he was defending her???
Old Master Wen continued, “Don’t listen to what others say. Discover the truth for yourself. This girl Jiang Ling’er is not simple.”
“Dad, we understand what you’re saying.”
Old Master Wen concluded, “Alright, we just need to wait and see now. I believe Jiang Ling’er is a capable girl.”
Thirty minutes later, Jiang Ling’er came out with a bowl of porridge and seafood pancakes.
Wen Mo was surprised when he saw the food. He had thought Jiang Ling’er was exaggerating about her cooking skills, but the dishes looked and smelled delicious.
Wen Mo commented, “It smells amazing.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “There’s more in the kitchen.”
Wen Mo wasted no time and rushed to the kitchen.
Seeing her son’s excitement, Mr. and Mrs. Wen exchanged glances. What was all the fuss about? It was just some simple food.
Jiang Ling’er arrived at Wen Nuan’s room and knocked gently on the door. Before Wen Nuan could respond, she entered the room.
Wen Nuan coldly said, “I told you not to come in.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “Nuannuan, it’s me.”
Wen Nuan immediately sat up from the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and asked, “Ling’er, how did you get in here?”
Seeing Wen Nuan looking disheveled and frail, Jiang Ling’er felt a deep sense of pity. The pampered life wasn’t as easy as it seemed, and facing adversity, Wen Nuan had crumbled.
Setting the food down, Jiang Ling’er walked over to the bed and took Wen Nuan’s hand.
She comforted her, “In the morning, when I didn’t see you at school, I was really worried. Before the morning self-study, your Grandpa came to find me and told me about your situation. I couldn’t focus on my lessons after that.”
Wen Nuan’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said helplessly, “I didn’t want this either, but I don’t know why 1 started coughing up blood. I was really scared at that time, and I’ve never felt so wronged. How can they deprive me of my freedom to make friends and force me to marry someone?”
Jiang Ling’er consoled her, “Nuannuan, I understand that you feel it’s unfair, but please don’t resort to a hunger strike. It’s not the solution.”
Wen Nuan replied, “I don’t even want to eat, and I’m not hungry at all. My body is strong, and I don’t feel very weak right now.”
Jiang Ling’er said gently, “Nuannuan, remember, people need food to survive. You must eat. Look, I made all these for you. Now, go freshen up, and you can eat afterward.”
Wen Nuan agreed, “Alright, since you personally made it, I must give you face.”
Saying that, she got up and went to the bathroom.
After ten minutes, Wen Nuan finished freshening up and returned.
Jiang Ling’er pointed to the food and said, “Try it and see if it suits your taste.”
Wen Nuan said, “Ling’er, you’re so nice to me. Thank you for your hard work.”
Wen Nuan took a sip of the porridge and instantly felt happier.
She smiled and said, “Ling’er, this porridge is so delicious.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “If you like it, eat more. But it might be because you were really hungry. By the way, this morning, I had a brief discussion with Old Master Wen about your situation with the Fang family. Your Grandpa won’t pressure you for the time being.”
Wen Nuan asked, “Huh? The old stubborn man is willing to compromise?”
While enjoying the delicious seafood pancakes, Wen Nuan exclaimed, “Ling’er, these are super delicious too!”
Jiang Ling’er said, “If he hadn’t been willing to compromise, I wouldn’t have been able to come see you.”
Wen Nuan curiously inquired, “How did you make him compromise? He has such a temper. It’s hard to believe.”
Jiang Ling’er shook her head and replied, “Nuannuan, it’s not that I made him compromise, it’s because of you. If it weren’t for you, your Grandpa would never have approached me. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to talk to him for so long, would I?”
Wen Nuan self-deprecatingly said, “If I hadn’t coughed up blood, the old stubborn man would have arranged for me to transfer schools. I was so furious. Ling’er, you haven’t told me yet, what did you say to him?”
Jiang Ling’er was quite surprised. Old Master Wen disliked her so much that he had even considered transferring Wen Nuan to another school?
She explained, “I asked Old Master Wen if he knew that the young man from the Fang family had a child with another woman, and Old Master Wen said he knew about it a long time ago. He also explained that the young man from the Fang family had been deceived and told me that he was a responsible and good person.”
Jiang Ling’er paused for a moment and continued, “I got angry at that point and asked him if the other woman’s child was healthy, would the young man from the Fang family have married her? What would happen to you then? Your grandpa fell silent instantly..”
