Old Master Wen, upon hearing Jiang Ling’er’s words, had a somewhat exasperated expression.

He said, “Rumors are just rumors and will eventually be revealed for what they are. Young lady, don’t try to argue with me.”

Jiang Ling’er smiled and responded, “Old Master Wen, you see, even in a hypothetical situation, you would retaliate against me. But how would your so-called good man react? If he were truly a victim, why wouldn’t he fight back or take responsibility? Isn’t it because he feels guilty or perhaps willingly went along with it? When everything has happened, he “takes on the responsibility” for the other woman. This person seems so noble and responsible, yet he doesn’t consider his fiancee’s feelings at all. Does she not deserve some respect? So, there is something wrong with this person.”

Jiang Ling’er paused for a moment and continued, “In Nuannuan’s eyes, he is not a suitable match. Whether she accepts him or not depends on his capabilities. No matter how much praise he receives from others, it won’t work. It will only make Nuannuan more resistant to him.”

Old Master Wen remained silent for a while and then said, “Let’s put this matter aside and let them figure it out naturally. I won’t let Nuannuan be unhappy.”

With that, he turned to Jiang Ling’er and asked, “So, what do you want to do next? Right now, in Nuannuan’s heart, I’m not as important as you. Don’t expect me to compromise.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling’er looked at the arrogant Old Master Wen and could not help but want to laugh.

She said, “Old Master Wen, you’re mistaken. In Nuannuan’s heart, there’s no one more important than you.”

Old Master Wen asked, “Is that so?”

He felt that Jiang Ling’er was not as bad as he initially thought after ail.

Jiang Ling’er smiled. It seemed that her flattery was correct.

Jiang Ling’er chuckled and continued, “Of course. People like you who don’t think much of me are numerous. There are many in our class. Whenever they bully me, Nuannuan always supports me. Even though she’s furious on my behalf, she never gets sad for me.”

She then adopted a more serious tone and said, “But when someone who doesn’t appreciate me is you, Nuannuan can’t accept it. After all, in her heart, I’m her best friend, and you, who she respects, looks down on her best friend. How could she not be sad?”

Jiang Ling’er observed Old Master Wen’s expression and continued, “Nuannuan sincerely treats me as a best friend, but you don’t accept me. Instead, you’re forcing her to marry a man she dislikes. In Nuannuan’s sensitive nature, she must think of herself as your pawn, and that she is nothing but a passing thought for you.”

At this moment, Old Master Wen’s expression turned grave.

Jiang Ling’er said, “I don’t need you to approve of me, but you are you, and Nuannuan is Nuannuan. Just because you don’t like me, you shouldn’t make me cut ties with Nuannuan.”

Old Master Wen remained silent.

It had to be said that what Jiang Ling’er said made sense.

Jiang Ling’er looked at Old Master Wen and saw that he was starting to accept these points.

She asked, “Morning will be over soon. Can 1 visit Nuannuan in the evening? 1 have other matters to attend to this afternoon.”

After some thought, he nodded and said, “Alright, for now, there’s no other option, and no one else can comfort her. 1 also don’t have any other engagements this evening, so you can go and see Nuannuan. You should be heading back now; it’s almost time for classes.”

Jiang Ling’er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Old Master Wen had compromised.

After bidding farewell to Old Master Wen, she left.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ling’er’s grandfather came to the school and asked the principal for permission to excuse Jiang Ling’er from school.

Then, the two of them, along with Little Six, went to the Chen Group.

They waited for a while in the conference room, and then Chen Yizhou entered with his assistant.

Chen Yizhou stepped forward to shake hands with Old Master Jiang and exchanged a few polite words.

He looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “Miss Jiang, we meet again. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”

Despite his smiling demeanor, Chen Yizhou exuded an aura of authority, which was impossible to ignore. Jiang Ling’er, however, remained unfazed. She shook hands with Chen Yizhou in a confident and open manner.

Jiang Ling’er replied, “Mr. Chen, hello. 1 also look forward to our cooperation.”

Jiang Ling’er couldn’t wait to audition immediately and enjoy wearing jade ornaments.

Chen Yizhou couldn’t detect any nervousness from Jiang Ling’er, which pleased him. He noticed that this young woman had an excellent mental attitude.

Jiang’s grandfather observed this interaction and was also somewhat surprised. His granddaughter’s mental composure was impressive. Facing someone of Chen Yizhou’s stature, she remained calm and self-assured.

Chen Yizhou gestured to his assistant.

The assistant stepped forward and said, “Mr. Chen, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged..”
