Chapter 33
Thank You for Your Blessings
When Jiang Ling’er heard her uncle’s words, she smiled and said, “Thank you, Uncle. Thank you for your blessings.”
When Jiang Sheng saw Jiang Ling’er’s playful look, he said, “Alright, as long as you’re confident, it’s fine. If you need anything, you can look for me anytime.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Alright, thank you, Uncle. I’ll take my leave for now. I’m covered in sweat from the morning run.”
“Go on,” Old Master Jiang said with a smile.
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Alright, you two enjoy your chess game. I’m going back to my room.”
…
After Jiang Ling’er left, Jiang Sheng asked again, “Dad, how confident do you think Ling’er is?”
Elder Jiang held a chess piece in his hand and looked at the board with a sharp gaze. He said indifferently, “One hundred percent.”
Jiang Sheng was in disbelief. He said, “You trust Ling ‘er that much?”
Old Master Jiang nodded his head and placed a chess piece on the board.
Jiang Sheng didn’t know what to say. Wasn’t the old man afraid that Jiang Ling’er would lose? Or perhaps, the old man had given up on her. Jiang Sheng sighed and said, “Where’s Jun? Are you really not going to care?”
Old Master Jiang’s face was cold as he said, “What Jun did to Ling’er made me very disappointed. If I don’t teach Jun a lesson, he won’t know how useless he is.”
Jiang Sheng frowned and said, “Dad, you should be aware of Ling’er’s poor results. Are you really not afraid that Ling’er will lose? Or do you want Ling’er to leave? Jun is indeed disappointing. I wonder why young people these days are so unreliable.”
Truth be told, Old Master Jiang was also a little worried. Jiang Ling’er’s grades were not great, to say the least. The old man said helplessly, “I’m not sure what Ling’er is thinking, but regardless of whether Ling’er wants to leave this family or if she’s really capable, I’ll support her.”
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, “Dad, do you think Ling’er has really let go of Li Yan?”
Old Master Jiang looked at Jiang Sheng, and the old man said, “She’s not just let him go, she’s completely given up on him. I’m very sure of that.”
“So she’s not just playing hard to get?” Jiang Sheng asked, puzzled.
Old Master Jiang shook his head and said, “No.”
The old man looked at the Go board in front of him and frowned. He said unhappily, “We have once again ended up in a draw.”
Hearing this, Jiang Sheng quickly looked at the Go board. It really was a draw. Jiang Sheng said, “It’s been three games now, do you want to continue?”
Old Master Jiang said, “Forget it. Let’s have some tea. I’ll get Old Huang to make us tea.”
Butler Huang immediately brewed the best Jasmine tea.
…
Jiang Ling’er took a bath, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
She saw that her grandfather and uncle had already moved on from their Go game to drinking tea.
Jiang Ling’er entered the kitchen and made a few simple refreshments before bringing them to the table.
Looking at the tea and snacks that Jiang Ling’er brought, Old Master Jiang was very surprised. He asked, “Ling’er, how did you learn how to cook?”
Jiang Ling’er suddenly felt a little guilty. For a moment, she forgot that the original Jiang Ling’er was a good-looking piece of trash. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ling’er took the phone and clicked on a photo. Jiang Ling’ er said, “There’s everything on the internet these days. You just have to follow the instructions. This is my first time making something like this. Does it look good? Grandpa, uncle, have a taste.”
Old Master Jiang did not stand on ceremony and immediately picked up a piece of refreshment and passed another piece to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng didn’t like to eat sweet food because he felt uncomfortable in his mouth after eating too much. But since the old man had already placed it in front of him, he couldn’t just leave it be, so he took a small bite.
The moment he put it in his mouth, Jiang Sheng was surprised. Was this Ling’er’s first time making it? If it was true, this girl was really amazing. The taste and appearance of the tea and snacks would make people believe that Ling’er was a tea master of a big restaurant.
Jiang Sheng could not help but ask, “Ling’er, this is very tasty. Is it really your first time making this?”
Jiang Ling’er nodded guiltily. Of course, it was not her first time, but she did not make refreshments often. Jiang Ling’er said, “Uncle, if you like it, let me know if you want to eat it in the future.”
“What about me?” Old Master Jiang asked immediately.
Jiang Ling’er smiled. “Of course, Grandpa, you can tell me if you want to eat it. I’ll make it for you immediately.”
Old Master Jiang was all smiles.
Jiang Ling’er also laughed and poured more tea for them.
Jiang Sheng retracted his smile and said calmly, “Ling’er, I have some questions for you, okay?”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Go ahead.”
