Lin Lin was even angrier when she heard this. This was what she had said to the old man and Jiang Sheng, and now Jiang Ling'er was face-slapping it back to her. Lin Lin said angrily, "Ling'er, you... Are you trying to anger me to death?"
Jiang Ling'er shot her an aggrieved and said, "I can't help it if you think so."
Jiang Jun said angrily, "Ling'er, how can you talk to me like that? I hit you because you went overboard."
Jiang Ling'er immediately said, "Jiang Jun, I'm not happy with what you're saying. Just now, Mother said that as a family, we should talk things out instead of resorting to violence. Yet, here you are resorting to violence."
Jiang Jun looked at Jiang Ling'er with anger. He pointed at Ling'er and said, "Why, you!"
Jiang Ling'er looked at Jiang Jun coldly without any fear. If the old man was not here, she would have been kicked by Jiang Jun.
Jiang Hua coughed a few times and said, "Ling'er, that's enough."
Jiang Ling'er said helplessly, "Sure, I'll give you face."
Jiang Hua was very embarrassed. He looked at Old Master Jiang and said, "Dad, why did you ask us to come over in such a hurry?"
Old Master Jiang looked at Jiang Hua and said, "Everyone, sit down. Old Li, serve the tea."
Lin Lin was very dissatisfied in her heart. Her son had been beaten up so badly. How could she let it go just like that?
Lin Lin said, "Dad, I understand. Your heart aches for Ling'er, but Ling'er kicked Jun just now. It wasn't a light kick either. You should be fair!"
Old Master Jiang looked at Lin Lin coldly, and he said, "It's true that I wasn't being fair, but if I did, Jiang Jun would be standing in court now."
Lin Lin felt a little guilty and smiled awkwardly. She then said, "Dad, this... we're family. Why do you make it sound like that?"
Old Master Jiang said, "You don't think it's serious? That's why you want to continue arguing about this with me, right?"
Lin Lin was speechless.
What did this old thing mean?
Old Master Jiang sneered. "I heard that you made a bet with Jiang Hua. If Ling'er wins this time, you will leave the Jiang family with Jun, right?"
Lin Lin was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Hua with some dissatisfaction. This was between the couple and Jiang Hua should not have told anyone else about their little bet.
Lin Lin thought for a moment and forced a smile. She said, "Dad, there's no such thing, right, Jiang Hua?"
Seeing Lin Lin's warning look at him, Jiang Hua felt helpless and a little disappointed. They had been together for decades, so how could Jiang Hua not know what Lin Lin was thinking? Lin Lin just didn't want the old man to know about their bet, so that she would have another way out in case things didn't go as planned.
Jiang Hua didn't plan to hide it, so he said directly, "There is. I've already recorded it. If Ling'er loses, it will be me and Ling'er who will leave."
Lin Lin immediately became serious and said, "Jiang Hua, that was just a joke. Why did you take it so seriously?"
Jiang Hua said coldly, "Why? Do you want the past to repeat itself?"
Lin Lin's face instantly turned pale. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. Lin Lin thought in her heart, that trash Jiang Ling'er definitely wouldn't perform well. When Jiang Ling'er lost, Lin Lin would generously cancel the bet. That way, if others knew, they would still say that Lin Lin was generous and reasonable.
Jiang Ling'er raised her eyebrows. Was Jiang Hua divorcing Lin Lin? If that was the case, she had to support Jiang Hua. With Lin Lin around, they would not have a good life in the future. If they could eliminate her as soon as possible, it would be a good thing.
Also, what did Jiang Hua just say about the past? There should be a huge secret. Otherwise, why would Lin Lin keep her mouth shut when she heard those words?
Elder Jiang naturally heard the word 'past' and frowned. He was not sure what had happened back then, but he knew that it was a huge blow to Jiang Hua. He said, "What happened in the past is already in the past. There's no need to talk about it anymore."
"Got it, dad," Jiang Hua said.
Jiang Hua didn't want to talk about the past, but if Lin Lin continued to challenge his limits, Jiang Hua couldn't care so much about her feelings anymore.
"Dad, we got it," Lin Lin said.
Lin Lin immediately gave in and heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Lin didn't want to mention what happened in the past. It didn't bring her any benefits.
Old Master Jiang took a sip of tea and said, "I asked the two of you to come here to inform you of something. From tomorrow onwards, Jiang Jun will not be allowed to go to the company."
