When Lin Lin heard Jiang Hua's cold words, she was very dissatisfied. Lin Lin snorted in disdain and said, "Hmph... It's not certain who will leave the Jiang family. With Jiang Ling'er's results? Forget it. Since Ling'er has dug her grave, I'll just wait to see her jump into it."
Jiang Hua frowned. Was his wife so sure that Ling'er would end up getting kicked out of the family?
Jiang Hua said with dissatisfaction, "What are you saying? You're so sure that she'll lose the bet?"
A trace of pride flashed in Lin Lin's eyes as she said, "Of course. Anyway, since Ling'er doesn't want to live the life of a rich girl, it's fine by me. I can't be bothered with her. When the time comes, make sure you don't interfere. The old man said that no matter what, the bet stands and no one from the Jiang family should interfere."
Jiang Hua chuckled and said, "Is that so? Why don't we make a bet?"
Lin Lin immediately looked at Jiang Hua in confusion. Lin Lin asked, "What... what kind of bet are you talking about?"
Jiang Hua said indifferently, "It's very simple. I bet that Ling'er will definitely win. If Ling'er wins, you and your beloved son, Jiang Jun, will move out of here. If Ling'er loses, Ling'er and I will move out together."
When Lin Lin heard this, her eyes widened and she shouted angrily, "Jiang Hua, do you know what you just said?"
With a calm smile on his face, Jiang Hua said, "Of course, I do. Do you dare to bet? If you don't dare, then you're not allowed to say anything bad about Ling'er in the future."
Lin Lin's eyes widened in anger. She took a deep breath and asked angrily, ""You... Are you threatening me? I gave birth to Ling'er. so I can scold her whenever I want. It's none of your business."
Jiang Hua looked at Lin Lin coldly and said, " I'm not going to argue with you. I've already said what I need to say. If you're not stupid, you should know how important Ling'er is to my father. If there's nothing else, please take your leave."
Lin Lin was stubborn and didn't move. She knew that Old Master Jiang doted on Ling'er, but Lin Lin didn't like her daughter who only knew how to cause trouble time after time. It wasn't wrong for her to get angry at her daughter and scold her whenever.
Jiang Hua saw that Lin Lin still did not understand, and a touch of helplessness and some disdain flashed in his eyes. Jiang Hua was silent for a moment, then stood up and went directly to the study.
Lin Lin's face turned even uglier when she saw Jiang Hua leave. How dare he leave just like that? Lin Lin shouted angrily, "I'll take the bet. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Just don't come and beg me when the time comes."
Jiang Hua stopped in his tracks and looked back. Then, he picked up his phone and said, "Alright, I've recorded what you said. Remember what you just said."
Lin Lin's face immediately darkened. Why did Jiang Hua do this? What was his motive?
...
The next day, Jiang Ling'er finished her morning run. When she entered the house, she saw Elder Jiang playing chess with her uncle, Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Ling'er stepped forward curiously.
"Grandpa, uncle, which one of you is stronger?" Ling'er asked.
Jiang Sheng smiled gently and looked at Old Master Jiang. He then said, "The older the ginger, the spicier it is."
"If we're talking about the game Go, of course Jiang Sheng is better at it," Old Master Jiang Jiang said with a smile.
Jiang Sheng made a move, and said, "Ling'er, I heard from them that you signed up for the National Advanced Mathematics Competition."
Jiang Ling'er didn't understand why her uncle suddenly asked this but she replied politely anyway, "That's right."
Jiang Sheng looked at the chessboard and said, "I have a friend in the Education Association. I can ask him to come over and give you supplementary lessons. I'll ask him to come over whenever you have time."
Jiang Ling'er was surprised. The first person to offer to arrange supplementary lessons for Jiang Ling'er turned out to be the original Jiang Ling'er's uncle. The people from the Education Association were all very powerful. If they could tutor Jiang Ling'er, it would be very effective. However, Jiang Ling'er did not need it at all. It was not that she was too arrogant. In reality, she really didn't need any tutoring.
Jiang Ling'er said, "Uncle, thank you, but I really don't need it."
Jiang Sheng did not expect Jiang Ling'er to reject him and was a little surprised. However, this niece of his had always done things without considering the consequences. Meanwhile, Old Master Jiang had always supported Jiang Ling'er's nonsense.
Jiang Sheng couldn't help much elsewhere, but he could help her with her studies. He didn't expect his niece to reject his offer off the bat.
"Ling'er, since you don't need it, how confident are you?" Jiang Sheng asked.
"Take a guess, uncle," Jiang Ling'er said with a smile.
Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he said, "I wish you all the best."
Honestly, if she didn't haven any confidence to win in the first place, then by taking on the bet, she would be asking to be kicked out of the Jiang family. Was she really prepared to break off ties with the family? Or perhaps, she had already prepared for the competition and was more than ready to make her big move!
