After I Transmigrated, the Male Lead Blames Me for Not Loving Him - Chapter 34
Consequences
Jiang Ling’er had a very bad premonition. She vaguely felt that she would definitely not like what her uncle was about to say.
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, “Ling’er, have you thought about the consequences of your bet with Jun?”
Jiang Ling’er knew that she wouldn’t like what he wanted to talk about, but she didn’t run away. She said, “I’ve thought about it.”
Jiang Sheng frowned and continued, “Since you’ve thought about it, do you think it’s a reasonable bet?”
“Very much so,” Jiang Ling’er said seriously.
Dealing with Jiang Jun was a must.
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then, aren’t you afraid of any mishaps?”
“Uncle, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you don’t have much confidence in me, do you?” Jiang Ling’er said.
Jiang Sheng felt a little awkward. Of course, he had no confidence. He coughed a few times and said, “I’m just afraid that you’re too impulsive and will end up with no way out.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Sheng and said meaningfully, “Uncle, if I can’t get into the top three and really have to leave the Jiang family, I can still live very well, but I won’t allow myself to get kicked out of the family.”
Jiang Sheng asked, “If Jun leaves, will you feel guilty?”
A smile appeared on Jiang Ling’er’s face, and her eyes were a little cold as she said, “Why should I feel guilty? I regret it more now because I didn’t retaliate much earlier.”
Jiang Sheng was very shocked. Jiang Ling’er’s gaze was really scary. Jiang Sheng said, “Ling’er, don’t you care about kinship?”
Jiang Ling’er smiled sarcastically and said, “Uncle, are you here to discuss with me, or did someone ask you to be a lobbyist?”
Jiang Sheng was stunned at first, but when he came back to his senses, he said, “Of course I’m here to discuss it with you.”
Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “If we were to discuss it, my answer would be that there’s no need to talk about kinship. Jiang Jun is not worthy.”
Jiang Sheng laughed awkwardly. Jiang Sheng said, “Jiang Jun is indeed not worthy. What if someone asked me to convince you to pull out from the bet?”
Jiang Ling’er said with a relaxed expression, “Uncle, if that’s the case, please pass on a message to that person. This brother of mine has forced me to a dead end. He’s always trying to harm me and he even violated my privacy. I’m showing him great mercy by not dragging him to jail.”
Jiang Sheng was speechless.
Jiang Ling’er saw that Jiang Sheng did not know what to say, so she said, “I’ve already given Jun many chances, but what did he do? I was harmed by Jun, and everyone thought that I was a good-for-nothing. Uncle, at that time, did you ever think of bringing up ‘kinship’ to Jun and asking him to be kind to me?”
Jiang Sheng was speechless and embarrassed. He was not qualified to talk about kinship with Jiang Ling’er.
Jiang Ling’er looked relaxed, but her words made Old Master Jiang feel guilty. At that time, he had thought too simply of the matter.
“Ling’er, it’s my fault for making you suffer like this.” Old Master Jiang sighed.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Grandpa, you don’t have to feel guilty or blame yourself. Even if you had spoken, Jiang Jun wouldn’t have let me off.”
Elder Jiang sighed and said, “Ling’er, those are two different matters. You don’t have to comfort me. It’s all my fault.”
Jiang Ling’er frowned and said, “Grandpa, if you blame yourself like this, I’ll leave. Even if I get first place, I’ll leave.”
Old Master Jiang was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Ling’er continued, “Grandfather, if you blame yourself like this, I will think that you can’t bear for Jun to leave, but you can’t change Jiang Jun. What should I do? You can only use your feelings to indicate your wishes to me. You can manipulate my feelings for you to force me to give in. In that case, I will oblige, and I will leave. What do you think?”
Old Master Jiang immediately waved his hand to show that he didn’t mean it that way. He quickly said, “No, no. Ling’er, don’t misunderstand. Grandpa doesn’t want you to leave.”
Of course, Jiang Ling’er knew that Elder Jiang would not have such thoughts. However, she could not let him blame himself so much. Therefore, Jiang Ling’er had to make up some argument so he wouldn’t blame himself for Jiang Jun’s actions.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Grandpa, what do you mean? You blame yourself so much. Did you do something to harm me? No. You think you didn’t stop Jiang Jun from harming me at that time, but you warned him against it, right? Jun pretended not to understand. What else could you do?
“Jun doesn’t want to understand your warnings. Don’t you think so? Jun isn’t some rebellious youth who only knows how to talk back to his parents. He is almost 30 years old. Don’t you think he knows very well what he should or shouldn’t do by now?”
