Chapter 359: A Lifetime Matter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Old Master Jiang nodded and said earnestly, “Marriage is a lifelong matter. You have to consider it carefully before you decide anything. You’re still young, and Grandpa neither supports you dating nor getting married and having a child yet.”

“Then why do you still want us to go?” Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Why don’t you just let my brother go alone?”

He thought for a moment and replied, “If you go with your brother, Li Yu won’t be able to make you his female companion. I’m also afraid that some people will have ulterior motives, so they might make up a fuss.”

Old Master Jiang voiced out the worries in his heart.

“I see.” She said, “Then I’ll listen to Grandpa’s arrangements.”

At night.

Jiang Ling’er and Jiang Xian arrived at the Li family hotel’s entrance.

Upon entering the banquet hall, Jiang Ling’er saw Li Yan chatting with the guests.

It wasn’t that she was deliberately looking for him, but the position where he was standing was indeed quite eye-catching.

When Li Yan sensed her gaze, he turned his head to look as well. He was a little puzzled. Jiang Ling’er actually didn’t come with Li Yu.

He bid farewell to the people he was entertaining and walked up to Jiang Xian and Jiang Ling’er.

He said, “Thank you for coming,”

“It’s our honor to be invited by Young Master Li,” replied Jiang Xian with a smile.

Jiang Ling’er handed the gift to the waiter who was receiving the gifts.

Li Yan glanced at her and said, “Thank you.”

She said, “Young Master Li is being too polite,”

Li Yan was disappointed by Jiang Ling’er’s distant behavior.

In the past, she got hospitalized from a school riot. However, after she was discharged, she had changed completely. He had even investigated her, but he could not find anything.

All of a sudden, Bai Xue appeared and shouted, “Li Yan!”

This voice interrupted his train of thought.

He asked indifferently, “Well, weren’t you chatting with Mrs. Wang?”

She replied, “I saw Ling’er had arrived, so I came to say hello,”

After saying that, she looked at Jiang Xian. She smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Jiang Xian smiled contemptuously and ignored her.

Despite that, Bai Xue didn’t care. Instead, she turned to Jiang Ling’er.

She spoke up, “Ling’er, I thought you wouldn’t come at all,”

Jiang Ling’er replied indifferently, “Miss Bai, you’re thinking too much,”

Bai Xue was stunned for a moment. Then, she said, “It’s good that you came. I was really afraid that the Jiang and Li families would be at odds because of me.”

Jiang Ling’er laughed and said sarcastically, “Miss Bai, where did you get the confidence to make you think you can influence our two families?”

“No, I didn’t mean that,” Bai Xue said. “Don’t misunderstand me, okay?”

She was a little angry, but she pretended to be pitiful and looked at Li Yan, hoping that he would speak up for her.

Jiang Ling’er smiled sinisterly when she saw Bai Xue’s reaction. She turned to Li Yan.

She said, “Young Master Li, I’ve always thought that my comprehension ability is quite good. However, did you not hear what Miss Bai said just now?”

Li Yan frowned and glanced at Bai Xue.

He said, “In the future, don’t easily speak out what’s in your mind. Don’t say things that will affect the relationship between the Li and Jiang families.”

Bai Xue looked at him in disbelief. She was very dissatisfied. He actually scolded her because of Jiang Ling’er?

She quickly adjusted her state of mind and nodded obediently, “Alright, I’ll remember that. This kind of thing will never happen again.”

Jiang Ling’er was surprised to see this.

Li Yan actually scolded Bai Xue in front of outsiders? Was there really a gap between the two of them now, or was he deliberately acting for everyone to see?

“Ling’er, can we find a place to talk alone?” Bai Xue asked while Jiang Ling’er was still in a daze.

Li Yan frowned.

On the other hand, Jiang Ling’er smiled. This was Li Yan’s birthday party. If Bai Xue didn’t plan anything, it only meant that she grew smarter.

However, if Bai Xue was still up to no good, Li Yan would be the one to lose face.

“Alright, let’s go,” said Jiang Ling’er.

Afraid his sister would get into trouble, Jiang Xian said, “Ling’er, don’t go too far away,”

In other words, he was telling Jiang Ling’er not to let Bai Xue frame her for anything again.

Jiang Ling’er nodded and left with Bai Xue.

“Young Master Jiang, are you afraid that something might go wrong?” Li Yan asked as he watched the two walk away.

Jiang Xian raised his eyebrows and replied, “Go wrong? What would go wrong? Even if something did happen, do you think my sister would have any trouble?”

Although it was always his sister who suffered in the past, she wasn’t so easy now.

Li Yan frowned and was silent.

Jiang Xian continued meaningfully, “Young Master Li, you’d better hope that your sweet girlfriend won’t look for trouble this time!”
