Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Ling’er leaned against the window, her heart unaffected. She was unsure of Jiang Hua’s intentions, but he remained silent, perhaps testing her resilience.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Hua was surprised by the absence of impatience or fear on Jiang Ling’er’s face. When did his usually unmotivated daughter develop such mental strength?

“Can you tell me what happened today? Why did your grandfather suddenly want to fire Jun?” Jiang Hua asked.

“You should ask Jiang Jun about that,” Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied. “How did he manage to provoke a kind-hearted old man who was always forgiving?”

Jiang Hua took a deep breath. He knew the kind of person the old man was, even without others pointing it out. He just didn’t want to believe it. After a moment of silence, Jiang Hua asked, “Ling’er, do you resent me for being indifferent to you all these years?”

“What’s there to resent?” Jiang Ling’er said. “I need to find my own path. You can’t walk it for me.”

Although Jiang Ling’er didn’t harbor any feelings for Jiang Hua, the original owner of her body must have held resentment in her heart. Her biological parents had favored her older brother, so it was only natural for her to feel resentful.

“Jun has gone too far in many things,” Jiang Hua said after a moment of silence.

“I know what you’re referring to. Let me say this: As long as he doesn’t provoke me, I’ll give him a way out,” Jiang Ling’er stated.

Even though she said that, Jiang Ling’er secretly thought that if Jiang Jun dared to cause trouble again, she wouldn’t mind having another enemy.

When Jiang Hua heard this, he smiled and asked, “Do you think 1 favor Jun?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled. Wasn’t it obvious enough? “Did you advise Jiang Jun not to provoke me?” Jiang Ling’er inquired.

Jiang Hua was taken aback. That’s right, he had never advised Jiang Jun to give in to Jiang Ling’er.

Continuing, Jiang Ling’er said, “Clearly, you didn’t. So now you’re talking to me alone, trying to persuade me to yield. Isn’t that bias enough? Dad, I also advise you not to deceive yourself. It’s rather boring.”

Jiang Hua was left speechless. Even though he had chosen to support Jiang Ling’er this time, he still subconsciously sided with Jiang Jun. Despite knowing that his son’s actions were unforgivable, he secretly hoped that Jiang Ling’er would give him another chance.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ling’er said, “I’ve grown accustomed to your hurtful words and cold treatment. Even if you stand against me in the future, I won’t feel sad.”

Jiang Hua was stunned. Lin Lin had never liked this daughter of hers, and Jiang Hua had always watched from the sidelines, doing nothing for Jiang Ling’er.

Jiang Hua sighed softly and said, “Ling’er, I neglected you in the past, but it won’t be like that anymore.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and remained silent. The original owner of this body was gone, and the rest no longer mattered.

Observing Jiang Ling’er’s demeanor, Jiang Hua felt somewhat awkward. He asked, “Don’t you believe me?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and replied, “1 believe you, but it doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’ve decided to fight back. From now on, 1 won’t wait for others to protect me. 1’11 protect myself and won’t give anyone the chance to hurt me, including people who claim to be

■family’ like you.”

Jiang Hua was left speechless.

Both Jiang Hua and Jiang Ling’er remained silent, realizing that resolving the estrangement between them would be a challenging task.

“Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back now,” Jiang Ling’er said.

If Jiang Hua was merely attempting to convince Jiang Ling’er to give in, there was no need to continue the conversation.

Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment, considering the deep-seated rift between them. It couldn’t be repaired quickly; it would require time and effort. Jiang Hua nodded and said, “Alright, go back and rest.”

After Jiang Ling’er left, Jiang Hua made his way to the living room.

Observing Jiang Hua’s preoccupied expression, Old Master Jiang knew that Jiang Hua must have been reprimanded. Old Master Jiang asked, “How did it go? Did you receive a lecture from your biological daughter?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hua replied with a hint of grievance.

“Heh, do you think she made sense?” Old Master Jiang inquired.

Jiang Hua nodded, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Old Master Jiang understood that Jiang Hua was feeling uneasy. He said, “Since you understand, don’t dwell on it too much. Jiang Hua, Ling’er won’t chase you away, but Jun certainly won’t support you in your old age.”

Jiang Hua was taken aback. He knew Old Master Jiang was right..
