Jiang Ling’er pretended to be confused. Old Master Shangguan didn’t even bother to mention his daughter- He was really heartless.
“You mean Zhuqing?” Old Master Shangguan frowned. “My wife had to give birth to that one.”
His words meant that he disliked his daughter.
Jiang Ling’er was stunned and thought for a moment. She said with a sigh, “No one forced you to like or dislike her. However, you easily erased the daughter that your wife insisted on having. Have you considered how much harm this will do to her?”
Old Master Shangguan was speechless.
Jiang Ling’er handed the plate to the waiter and continued, “You might not care about your wife’s feelings at all. I don’t think it’s wrong for you to say that a woman should take care of her husband and teach her children. However, in this situation, a man should also help a woman. You’re very lucky to have met someone like your wife, so you don’t have to worry about anything. However, not every man has a woman like her.”
“Otherwise, why else would there be so many prodigals?” She sighed softly. “Wasn’t it all because of their family’s upbringing? From this, can you still say that the children’s lack of education has nothing to do with their fathers?”
After a long silence, Old Master Shangguan said, “I’ve never thought so much about it. In the past, 1 only thought that women should take care of children. Now, it seems that men should indeed be involved.”
Shangguan Lin was shocked. Jiang Ling’er could actually change his stubborn father’s mind in such a simple way.
Jiang Ling’er knew when to stop and didn’t push her luck. She apologized, “Old Master Shangguan, please forgive me if I offended you,”
“No,” He replied with a smile. “What you said makes sense. You taught me a good lesson.”
Indeed, not every woman would be so intelligent. Old Master Shangguan’s wife had great wisdom, and so did his daughter. She wasn’t like Yunxi, who was jealous and vicious without any ability.
“Old Master Shangguan, you’re exaggerating,” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile. “I’m just saying what 1 think. It’s also an encouragement for me that you can approve of this idea.”
The other party smiled and said, “Your grandfather is very lucky to have a granddaughter like you. You are very smart, but unfortunately, you already have a boyfriend. Won’t you consider my grandson? He is really outstanding.”
Shangguan Lin helplessly, “Grandpa, please don’t be ridiculous.”
“Old Master Shangguan, if I may ask, did anyone pursue your wife before you married her?” Jiang Ling’er asked with a smile.
“If it weren’t for our engagement, I wouldn’t have had the chance to marry her,” Old Master Shangguan said. “Many outstanding people pursued her back then. I’m also glad that I listened to my father’s teachings since I was young and didn’t look down on her smaller achievements. Perhaps that’s the main reason why I have my glory today.”
Jiang Ling’er pretended to be confused, “You were raised by your father, so why do you think that educating children should only be a woman’s job?”
He asked awkwardly, “Girl, just what is wrong with you and your questions?”
“Anyway, 1 may not be as smart as your wife,” She said mischievously. “However, my heart also belongs to someone else. That fact will never change in this life.”
“Good, very good.” Old Master Shangguan was stunned. “You have your own principles.”
Jiang Ling’er replied, “Thank you for your compliment. 1 just don’t want others to misunderstand,”
“Old Master Shangguan, if there’s nothing else, my lady and 1 will take our leave first,” Li Yu suddenly said.
Old Master Shangguan was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had been chatting with Jiang Ling’er for a long time. However, what did Li Yu mean by saying ‘my lady and I’? How could the Jiang family’s daughter belong to the Li family?
“I’m very sorry, CEO Li,” Old Master Shangguan said. “I was chatting with the Jiang girl and lost track of time. Are you leaving so early?”
Li Yu lightly replied, “Old Master Shangguan, your granddaughter has dirtied my lady’s attire,”
Only then did Jiang Ling’er remember. She looked at her dress. Probably due to the air conditioner here, the stains were almost dry.
Old Master Shangguan felt a little awkward. He had been too focused on talking and had forgotten about this matter.
“I’m sorry,” He said, “It’s all my fault. CEO Li, please take Miss Jiang and leave first.”
Li Yu said, “Alright, Old Master Shangguan, Young Master Shangguan, we’ll be leaving first,”
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Ling’er’s hand and walked toward the door.
Shangguan Lin smiled when he saw this. If Li Yu was the one in Jiang Ling’er’s heart, then she would be fine..
