Wen Nuan seriously said, “That’s true; the Tangs are nothing compared to the Wens.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “That’s why she’s nothing. Anyway, let’s go buy some clothes first.”

After they left, the waiter brought desserts and coffee to the two girls sitting next to Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan.

He said, “Here are your desserts and coffee.”

“We didn’t order these,” the girls said with a confused look.

He replied, “This is Miss Jiang’s compensation for your ice water.”

The girls were speechless. This Miss Jiang was really generous!

In the Zhang family house’s living room.

Old Mrs. Zhang said as she read the newspaper, “Little Nuan, you haven’t been looking for Li Yu over the past few days. Have you given up?”

Zhang Nuannuan ate her fruit, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She replied after some silence, “Grandma, someone told me that Ah Yu likes Miss Jiang now. However, that woman had a very bad reputation before. Why would he still like her?”

“The Jiang family is quite renowned,” said Old Mrs. Zhang. “However, they’re unequal to the Li family. Who told you about that?”

“It’s not important,” said Zhang Nuannuan.

“It is very important,” Old Mrs. Zhang said seriously. “If an outsider told you that, it’s most likely a rumor. If it were someone from the Lis who personally told you, it’d be hard to judge.”

Zhang Nuannuan asked doubtfully, “Why is it hard to judge if it was someone from the Lis that personally told me?”

If Li Yu said it himself, wouldn’t it be the same as making it public?

It couldn’t be a lie.

Old Mrs. Zhang said, “Anyway, you should calm down if it’s an outsider. Don’t do anything drastic to avoid being used by others. This Jiang family’s old man isn’t a patient person.”

Zhang Nuannuan hesitated, “But Grandma, I think it’s true. Back when I was with Ah Yu, although he was also very obedient, he never let me in his car. However, he’s very different with Jiang Ling’er. Not only did she ride in his car, but he personally drove. I can’t accept it if I don’t teach her a lesson.”

Hearing Zhang Nuannuan say that, Old Mrs. Zhang immediately became serious.

She asked, “Xiao Nuan, tell me the truth. Did you do something?”

Zhang Nuannuan shook her head, feeling guilty.

She had already gotten many media accounts to write essays slandering Jiang Ling’er, but they had no time to publish them.

Old Mrs. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief.

She warned, “Xiao Nuan, don’t do anything stupid, okay? Although your uncle is an official, he’s cracking down now. If you go and cause trouble now, once you get a criminal record, he won’t deal with you nicely. Aren’t you aware of that?”

“Okay, Grandma…” Zhang Nuannuan said with some lingering fear.

At the same time, she was also glad that she didn’t let those marketing accounts directly publish the essays. Otherwise, Jiang Ling’er would’ve been fine, but she’d be finished.

“I’m reminding you. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try. You’ll flood the headlines tomorrow! When that time comes, your uncle will only put justice above family. What benefits will you get?”

“I know,” Zhang Nuannuan said. “However, I won’t feel good if I don’t know the truth.”

She was upset, regretting being so willful back then. She thought Li Yu loved her so much that he would’ve stayed waiting for her, but she never expected him to find another woman within a short time. Moreover, that woman’s family background wasn’t even on par with his. It was intolerable.

Old Mrs. Zhang seriously said, “No matter what, it’s an outsider who told you that. Now that your uncle is in a critical period, you’d better behave. If you cause trouble, his enemies will have something to use against you. You’ll ruin your uncle’s future and even the entire family. At that time, even I won’t spare you. Do you understand?”

In fact, Zhang Nuannuan felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She said with sadness, “Grandma, I…”

Seeing her granddaughter’s pitiful appearance, Old Mrs. Zhang’s heart ached.

She said, “Xiao Nuan, a little forbearance spoils the bigger picture. If you want to be the Li family’s young miss, you can’t be like this. Listen to Grandma, or your future will be even more difficult. I know you’re upset, but you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future. For now, you must endure, okay?”

“I understand, Grandma,” said Zhang Nuannuan.

Although she agreed verbally, she didn’t care in her heart. After all, her hatred had already been taken root. It couldn’t be easily undone unless she successfully got revenge..
