Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ling’er was somewhat surprised by the turn of events. It seemed this time it was different, and her father had genuinely changed his stance. She looked at Jiang Hua with joy and said, “Dad, you’ve finally seen the light? That’s great; I support you.”
Jiang Hua remained silent, his emotions in turmoil. He had been a “lapdog” for decades, but now he was awakening to the reality. He wondered if it was too late.
Jiang Jun gritted his teeth, annoyed by Jiang Ling’er’s nonchalance. It seemed she was unfazed by the moral dilemma he presented.
Furrowing his brows, Jiang Jun said, “Jiang Ling’er, have you lost all sense of morality? Our parents are on the brink of divorce, and instead of trying to mediate, you support this decision. What are you up to?”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t take Jiang Jun’s words seriously. She wore a disdainful smile and said, “You’ve been the favorite child for all these years. If you think they’ll listen to you, go ahead and try to persuade them. As for me, 1 support Dad’s decision.”
With that, Jiang Ling’er headed upstairs.
Jiang Jun turned to Jiang Hua and complained, “Dad, did you see that? What’s her deal? She’s tearing our family apart, and you’re backing her up!”
Jiang Hua glanced at Jiang Jun, his expression stern. Jiang Hua said, “Do you expect me to continue favoring you as 1 did before?”
Jiang Jun became emotional and said, “I’m your son, Dad. You should be on my side. If 1 leave this family, I’ll have nothing left. But if Jiang Ling’er goes, she can easily find a good man, get married, and have a secure life. Isn’t that right?”
Upon hearing Jiang Jun’s words, Jiang Hua’s expression turned dark. Jiang Hua said coldly, “I have only one son and one daughter. As for you, you should ask your mother what you truly are.”
As Jiang Ling’er exited the bedroom, she overheard Jiang Hua’s words and felt there was a lot of information in them. However, she chose not to eavesdrop and went downstairs.
Jiang Ling’er said, “Dad, 1 need to get back to class. Would you like to leave with me?”
Jiang Hua checked his watch and replied, “I need to leave as well. 1 have a meeting shortly.”
Jiang Jun was frightened by Jiang Hua’s words.
Previously, someone had said that Jiang Jun and Jiang Hua did not look alike. However, most of them said that it was because his mother’s genes were strong, but no one said that Jiang Jun was not Jiang Hua’s son.
Jiang Jun approached Jiang Hua, blocking his way, and said, “No, Dad, please explain it clearly.”
Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Jun with seriousness and said, “As for your parentage, ask your mother. 1 won’t explain further. Over the past twenty-plus years, 1 haven’t mistreated you. In fact, you’ve received more attention and resources than my own children. Instead, you suppressed my child because you were favored.”
Jiang Jun was really anxious this time. He shouted, “Dad…”
Without waiting for Jiang Jun to say anything, Jiang Hua coldly said, “I’ve done my part. You don’t need to call me ‘Dad’ from now on.”
Jiang Jun was speechless.
Jiang Jun wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything even after opening his mouth a few times. Everything had happened too suddenly, and Jiang Jun wasn’t prepared at all.
Jiang Hua turned to Jiang Ling’er and said, “Ling’er, let’s go. 1 need to head to the office. My car should be with Lin Lin, and she won’t be back for a while.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Alright, Dad.”
Then, the father and daughter left.
Jiang Jun was left alone in the living room. After hesitating for a while, he called Lin Lin. Jiang Jun wanted to understand the situation, to see if it was true. However, after making several calls, Lin Lin didn’t answer, and it eventually went straight to voicemail.
Frustrated, Jiang Jun considered throwing his phone, but the thought of what lay ahead made him regain his composure. He placed the phone on the table and ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes filled with confusion.
After spending half an hour in the living room, Jiang Jun went upstairs. Entering his bedroom, he saw a picture of Bai Xue on his computer screen, her innocent look and delicate smile.
Jiang Jun’s mood immediately improved. However, he couldn’t understand why his parents couldn’t accept such a beautiful and popular girl..
