Chapter 35
Grandpa Has Been Nothing Short of Amazing
Jiang Sheng frowned and said unhappily, “Ling’er, how can you talk to your grandfather like that? He feels guilty because he thinks that he didn’t protect you well.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Sheng and said, “Uncle, don’t be angry. Answer me this first. Do you think Grandpa is protecting me well?”
Jiang Sheng frowned and said, “Ling’er, it’s not that I’m petty and want to dig up old scores. If it weren’t for your grandfather’s protection, your previous blunders wouldn’t have been concealed.”
Jiang Ling’er continued to ask, “Do you think Grandpa has let me down?”
Jiang Sheng looked at Jiang Ling’er and said with certainty, “Of course not!”
Jiang Ling’er was the only one who had let Old Master Jiang down and made him worry every day.
Of course, Jiang Ling’er knew what Jiang Sheng meant. Jiang Ling’er said, “Uncle, you know how much Grandpa loves me. He protected me very well and didn’t do anything to harm me. What’s there to feel guilty about? He clearly did a good job.”
Jiang Sheng was speechless.
“Are you two trying to force me to compromise today?” Jiang Ling’er asked.
Old Master Jiang sighed and said, “Ling’er, you should know that Grandpa doesn’t have such intentions.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Grandpa, I don’t care what you mean. If you insist on facing me with such a guilty expression, it’s better for me to leave. That way, you won’t feel guilty when you see me.”
Old Master Jiang didn’t understand what was going on either and he suddenly felt a little flustered. He explained, “Ling’er, I’m just feeling guilty that you’ve suffered too much.”
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “Grandpa, I know what you mean. But I want to say that you have never let me suffer. You have never hurt me like Jun did to me.”
Elder Jiang was speechless.
Jiang Ling’er said very calmly, “Grandpa, Jiang Jun is about to turn 30 years old. He’s not a child. He should have his own judgment. He doesn’t need an elder to guide him at all. Grandpa, you’ve already said so. Do you still think that you didn’t protect me well?”
Elder Jiang smiled and felt very gratified. His granddaughter did not hate him at all. Compared to the previous days, Jiang Ling’er had grown up. How did she suddenly grow up?
Jiang Ling’er smiled and continued, “Grandpa, I want to work hard to stay because of this family and you. To be frank, if you fall sick because of this, you won’t have the ability to continue protecting me. Think about it, what will Jun and the others do to me? I don’t want to leave you ever, Grandpa.”
Old Master Jiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he came back to his senses and revealed a loving smile. “Okay, I understand now.”
That’s right. Old MAster Jiang knew that he couldn’t fall now. If he fell, his beloved granddaughter, Jiang Ling’er, wouldn’t have anyone to protect her anymore.
Jiang Ling’er looked at the white-haired old man and said, “Grandpa, I’m glad to hear you understand what’s most important. To me, your health is more important.”
Old Master Jiang smiled and said, “My precious granddaughter has grown up. She’s sensible now.”
Jiang Ling’er said, “Grandpa, don’t think too highly of me. I’m afraid that if you don’t protect me, no one else will want to protect me.”
Hearing Jiang Ling’er’s words, Old Master Jiang felt a little sad. He said, “Ling’er, even if I leave one day, you still have your parents and uncle. How can you say there will be no one to protect you?”
“Grandpa, please don’t say such inauspicious things. I don’t like it,” Jiang Ling’er said, pretending to be angry.
When Old Master Jiang heard this, he immediately laughed out loud. He said, “That’s right, we can’t say such inauspicious things.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled gently and said, “Grandpa, please have some tea and snacks.”
Jiang Ling’er thought in her heart, that if something really happened to her grandfather, these guys would not protect her. These people would only take advantage of the past and cause endless trouble for her. Only her grandfather was genuinely good to her. If her grandfather fall sick from worrying about her, wouldn’t she be too heartless?
Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Sheng and said, “Uncle, please try this.”
As she spoke, Jiang Ling’er handed Jiang Sheng a piece of refreshment.
“Ling’er, what Uncle said just now was not directed at you.” Jiang Sheng said as he took it.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Uncle, Jun tried to set me up time after time. Why did I pretend not to know? It’s because Jun is my brother. But now, I don’t want to give in anymore. I’ve come to realize that Jun isn’t worth my effort and tolerance.”
