Chapter 24
Embarrassing
Jiang Ling’er frowned. The original body’s host’s brother didn’t hold back when it came to humiliating his sister. Hmph… Was Bai Xue really worth Jiang Jun’s sacrifice?
Jiang Ling’er said, “Which rule forbids me from participating in the competition just because my results are bad? What’s wrong with me participating to save my life and dignity?”
Jiang Jun’s eyes became even colder. There was no problem with participating in the competition, but if she did poorly, it would be a disgrace to the Jiang family.
Jiang Jun said, “If you don’t do well, the Jiang Family will lose face. Is it your fault or mine? You’d better wake up and not go out and embarrass yourself. If grandfather finds out about this, don’t blame me for your own insensibility.”
Jiang Ling’er sneered contemptuously.
Jiang Jun felt like he was being humiliated, and he immediately said, “What’s so funny?”
Jiang Ling’er’s eyes were full of sarcasm. She said lazily, “Since you’re so clever, why don’t you know what I’m laughing about?”
Hearing Jiang Ling’er’s sarcastic words, Jiang Jun shouted angrily, “Perfect. This is just perfect. I talk to you nicely, but you won’t listen. You insist to dig your own grave and jump right into it. I don’t give a d*mn if you wanna attend the competition, but when you end up losing, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Just as Jiang Ling’er was about to retort, a loud and clear voice suddenly said, “Little Jun, is this how you usually treat your sister?”
Jiang Jun immediately stood up and looked towards the door.
A moment later, Old Master Jiang walked in.
Jiang Jun immediately got up from the sofa and offered his seat to his grandfather. “Grandpa, why the sudden visit? Have a seat.”
Jiang Ling’er poured the tea and served it to the Jiang family’s patriarch. “Grandpa, here you go. It’s your favorite jasmine tea.”
Old Master Jiang nodded in satisfaction. Everyone said that Jiang Ling’er lacked manners, but that’s because they’d never seen her so well-behaved.
When Jiang Jun saw how much the old man doted on Jiang Ling’er, he felt annoyed He really did not understand why his grandfather doted on his useless sister so much.
Old Master Jiang glanced at Jiang Jun. Other than some decent looks, there was nothing else to brag about this grandson of his.
Old Master Jiang said, “Little Jun, I overheard you advising Ling’er to wake up. I think you should think of a way to wake yourself up first. A man should have his own opinions. You shouldn’t believe everything that others say. It’s as if you have no brain.
“As an older brother, you have to act like one. How can you treat your younger sister like this? With such an attitude, are you worthy of being Ling’er’s older brother?”
Jiang Jun’s expression turned awkward, and he tried to defend himself, “Grandpa, No… No, I was only trying to persuade Sister, but she mocked me.”
Old Master Jiang frowned and said, “Is this your reason for shouting?”
Jiang Jun didn’t know what to say after hearing Old Master Jiang’s words. It was indeed very unsightly to shout. If outsiders saw this, they would say that he had a bad upbringing.
Jiang Ling’er didn’t like Jiang Jun at all. Naturally, she hoped that Jiang Jun would be taught a lesson by the old man. However, Jiang Ling’er didn’t want the old man to be angry. Jiang Ling’er stood at the side and said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. This isn’t a big deal.”
Jiang Ling’er’s obedience made the Old Master Jiang very happy and he said, “Ling’er, no matter what you want to do, I will support you.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Grandpa, you’re the best. Thank you. Grandpa loves me the most.”
The old master of the Jiang family was the greatest backer of the original Jiang Ling’er. The original Jiang Ling’er did not cherish him and foolishly got herself into trouble every day, but the current Jiang Ling’er wasn’t that stupid.
Jiang Jun frowned and said, “Grandpa, you don’t even know what’s going on and you’re still supporting her?”
Jiang Ling’er’s arrogance was all because of the old man’s unscrupulous indulgence. It was really infuriating. Jiang Jun was not happy about it, at all.
Old Master Jiang said, “I heard everything you said just now. Isn’t it just a mathematics competition? It’s not a bad thing. Why can’t we support it?”
Jiang Jun couldn’t help but say, “Grandpa, I didn’t say that Sister was wrong, but with her poor results, wouldn’t she be asking to be embarrassed in front of everyone? Her shamelessness will bring disgrace upon our family!”
Old Master Jiang knew that his granddaughter’s grades were indeed poor, but it was not easy for his precious granddaughter to be motivated academically. This was a good thing, so of course, he had to support Ling’er.
Old Master Jiang said, “Haven’t you heard that participation is the most important thing? Have you never failed before?”
Jiang Jun felt like he was going crazy. He said indignantly, “Grandpa, you pamper Ling’er too much. Look at Ling’er. She’s so lawless. If this continues, she’ll definitely offend someone.”
Offend others? Old Master Jiang’s face turned cold. Would the Jiang family need to be afraid of offending someone? “What does it have to do with you that I dote on her?” Old Master Jiang asked. Is it lawless to participate in the National Advanced Mathematics Competition?”
