Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The butler lowered his head and replied, “1 believe you might not have that privilege.”
Jiang Jun clenched his fists, seething with frustration. He retorted, “Who do you think you are? Just a lapdog relying on soone else’s power. Sooner or later, you’ll regret this.”
With that, Jiang Jun turned on his heel and stord back upstairs.
Back in his bedroom, Jiang Jun paced anxiously, his hands gripping his hair in frustration. As he gazed out at the courtyard, anger simred within him. That despicable Jiang Ling’er had concealed her intentions so well that Jiang Jun was now on the brink of being ousted from the family.
The more he dwelled on it, the more discontented he beca. After so hesitation, Jiang Jun decided to call his mother, Lin Lin.
When the call connected, Jiang Jun said, “Mom, it’s Jiang Jun.”
Lin Lin responded, “Oh… I know. Why are you calling now?”
Jiang Jun ground his teeth and said, “That Jiang Ling’er is about to sit for the national competition.”
Lin Lin sighed, “I’m aware.”
Jiang Jun asked, “Are you just going to let this happen?”
Lin Lin replied, “What can 1 do? I told you to stay away from that girl Bai Xue, but you slapped in return.”
Jiang Jun argued, “Mom, can you please not be so biased against Bai Xue? I didn’t slap you on purpose; it was a montary impulse. Bai Xue hasn’t done anything to offend you. Why do you dislike her so much?”
Lin Lin sneered and replied, “I had you on impulse too, but I raised you well. Yet, you dared to strike .”
Ever since Lin Lin had been deceived by Jiang Jun, she had been consud by anger and regret. She regretted her past actions and the choices she had made. If only she had not gotten pregnant with Jiang Jun, she wouldn’t be in this predicant now. She could have even aborted the baby without hesitation. Lin Lin harbored deep resentnt for the consequences she was now facing.
Through gritted teeth, Jiang Jun said, “Mom, please don’t forget that if Jiang Ling’er makes it to the top three in the national competition, not only will 1 be cast out, but you’ll go with .”
Lin Lin let out a mocking laugh, finding her son’s thods rather foolish. Indeed, Jiang Ling’er’s success in the top three would result in Lin Lin leaving the family as well. Nevertheless, Lin Lin had managed to save a substantial sum of money over the years, ensuring that she could sustain herself independently. She was no longer afraid of starting anew, even if it ant leaving with nothing.
Jiang Jun puzziedly asked, “Mom, what’s so funny? Did I say sothing wrong? We’re in this together, and you can’t just watch suffer like this.”
Lin Lin retorted, “1 don’t care. I’ve saved enough money over the years to support myself. You, on the other hand, have spent all your money on that girl Bai Xue.”
Jiang Jun implored, “Mom, can you not be like this? Bai Xue hasn’t wronged you, and you can’t just let go down like this!”
Lin Lin maintained her scornful tone, “Are you scared now? I’ve told you before, haven’t I? Do you rember? While I may not like Jiang Ling’er, she’s still the Jiang Family’s daughter. But Bai Xue? What is she?”
Jiang Jun argued, “Mom, why are you so stubborn? Even if 1 don’t help Bai Xue, do you think Jiang Ling’er will spare ? That’s impossible. She won’t let off the hook. In that case, why should 1 allow Jiang Ling’er to enjoy a carefree life?”
Lin Lin sneered and said, “Do you know who you’re ssing? And why do you insist to ss with Jiang Ling’er? That’s enough. Don’t bother . Walk the path you’ve chosen for yourself. I have a beauty treatnt to attend.”
With that, Lin Lin abruptly ended the call.
Jiang Jun held the phone in disbelief and called out, “Mom, hello? Mom! Dammit!”
He stared at the phone that had been hung up on him and, in a fit of rage, threw it to the floor, causing the phone to shatter.
Jiang Jun was montarily stunned, then filled with regret. He had so many phones, yet he had impulsively smashed the very one that contained all his beautiful mories with Bai Xue. Panicking, he retrieved the damaged phone.
As he examined the phone, Jiang Jun realized that it was beyond repair. Desperation welled up within him; the information stored on that phone was crucial.
With a determined resolve, Jiang Jun swiftly changed into suitable attire and hurried downstairs. Upon discovering that the butler was no longer present, he felt a glimr of hope.
Slipping on his shoes, Jiang Jun rushed to the garage, only to find that all the cars had been replaced. None of the keys he had could unlock any of the vehicles. Enraged, he delivered a powerful kick to one of the cars.
Frustrated and panicked, he retrieved his phone and dialed the contact responsible for arranging the cars.
Jiang Jun pleaded urgently, “I have an ergency and need a car imdiately. Send a driver over right away.”
The person on the other end of the line replied, “I’m sorry, Young Master, but Master has given explicit instructions that none of the Jiang family’s cars are to be used by you!”
