Lin Lin responded disdainfully, “If you think it’s too little, then act more stubbornly. Don’t take a single cent. We’re giving you this 100,000 yuan secretly. Just don’t let your grandfather find out. If he does, both your father and I will have a hard time. Do you understand? Don’t be so ungrateful!”

Jiang Jun was momentarily taken aback, then he awkwardly smiled and said, “Mom, how can you say that? Isn’t Jiang Ling’er getting into the top three good for you too?”

Although Lin Lin harbored a deep resentment towards Jiang Ling’er, she was pragmatic enough to realize that provoking Jiang Ling’er at this point would only bring trouble. Lin Lin suppressed her anger and replied, “It’s not your place to worry about your father and me.”

Jiang Jun, frustrated by his mother’s response, retorted, “Mom, it was just a slap. Do you have to hold such a grudge? Don’t forget that I’ll be the one supporting you in your old age!”

Lin Lin retorted disdainfully, “Heh… Just a slap? And you expect to support me in my old age? I don’t even know if I’ll live long enough to see that day!” “Mom, I know it’s my fault, but it’s because you provoked me with your hurtful words about Bai Xue. Why can’t you be more accommodating?” Jiang Jun argued.

“No matter how hurtful my words were, it doesn’t give you the right to strike me!” Lin Lin responded with a cold expression.

Jiang Jun frowned and fell silent.

“Perhaps this is my retribution,” Lin Lin mused self-deprecatingly.

Then, she turned to Jiang Hua and declared, “Jiang Hua, I’m reneging on my word. I’ve decided that I won’t give our son a single cent. As for you, feel free to make your own decision.”

With that, Lin Lin stood up.

Jiang Jun panicked upon hearing his mother’s words. He hastily stood up and grabbed Lin Lin, saying, “Mom, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of this?”

“What? Are you going to hit me again?” Lin Lin responded coldly.

Jiang Jun was in turmoil at this moment, fully aware that he couldn’t afford to lose his mother’s support. He said, “Mom, you know, I didn’t mean it. I apologize, truly. It was my mistake, and I shouldn’t have laid a hand on you.” Lin Lin heard Jiang Jun’s apology but remained unmoved. She replied, “Hmm… Saying sorry doesn’t automatically grant forgiveness. Bai Xue is such a good person. So when you hit rock bottom, go find Bai Xue and see if she can be as selfless as I have been for over twenty years. Now, let go of me!”

Of course, Jiang Jun couldn’t release his grip. He tried to sound cute and said, “Mom, I really understand my mistake now. You have a heart as big as a sea; please forgive me just this once.”

Lin Lin, with a compassionate expression, responded, “People make mistakes, but this time, I won’t forgive you. I’m also fully aware that you won’t change.” Jiang Jun glared angrily at Lin Lin and gritted his teeth, saying, “Mom, do you want me to die? You know, I was so furious at the time that I lashed out, but don’t forget, you were the one who provoked me.”

Lin Lin coldly commanded, “Let go of me!”

With those words, Lin Lin forcefully freed herself from Jiang Jun’s grasp and walked toward the door. She felt deeply disappointed, now seeing Jiang Jun for what he truly was—a selfish person.

As Jiang Jun watched Lin Lin’s retreating figure, he clenched his teeth angrily. Although Lin Lin had made the mistake, she was now blaming it all on him. It was no wonder Jiang Ling’er, that despicable woman, didn’t acknowledge her mother who lacking any tolerance for younger generations. It was also no wonder his father was considering a divorce.

Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Jun, his face filled with hatred. He sighed inwardly, realizing that Jiang Jun, who had just claimed to understand his mistake, hadn’t actually changed. Jiang Jun’s selfish demeanor was indeed similar to Lin Lin’s.

Jiang Jun impatiently said, “Dad, my mom used to be different.”

Jiang Hua responded calmly, “There hasn’t been a change; it’s always been like this.”

Jiang Jun shook his head and asked, “But why, no matter what I did in the past, Mom always supported me? Why can’t she accept Bai Xue now? What’s wrong with Bai Xue?”

Jiang Hua smiled mockingly, sounding weary, and said, “I always thought your mother was the gentlest and kindest woman. But she can’t even stand her own child, who she carried in her womb for ten months. Isn’t that absurd?”

Jiang Jun:

Jiang Jun was momentarily stunned. He didn’t truly understand why his mother favored him in the past, and he couldn’t comprehend it either.

Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Jun’s demeanor and knew that a selfish person like Jiang Jun wouldn’t care about others’ feelings. He continued, “You slapped her for a woman who disgusted her. Hmm… and you expect her to keep pampering you.. Do you think that’s even remotely possible?”
