Old Master Jiang was stunned. Then, he said, “Ling’er, you’re very clear-sighted. Grandpa also has the same idea, but Jun’s thinking is wrong. Grandpa won’t let him do as he pleases just because he’s the eldest grandson of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Ling’er poured another cup of tea for her grandfather, then said, “That’s why, I’m very grateful to you, Grandpa. If you hadn’t always protected me, I would have been killed by Jun long ago.”

In the original book, Old Master Jiang was so angry with the original Jiang Ling’er a year later that he fell sick, and in less than half a year, he died in the hospital. According to the timeline, that would happen a year later. Now that Jiang Ling’er’s soul had changed, she would definitely not allow that to happen.

Old Master Jiang was very satisfied with his granddaughter’s obedience. He said, “My good granddaughter, I know that you’ve always been a good child, but I can see that what your mother did disappointed you.”

As soon as he said those words, Old Master Jiang regretted it. He looked at Jiang Ling ‘er carefully, afraid that his words would hurt his granddaughter’s heart.

Jiang Ling’er was stunned and felt a little awkward. Because Lin Lin was not her biological mother, Jiang Ling’er did not feel anything. However, she could not make it too obvious.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Grandpa, I’m used to this kind of thing, and I understand it in my heart. But this time… it’s my fault for being too willful and making you sad.”

It was necessary to deal with Jiang Jun, but Jiang Ling’er did not want to hurt Old Master Jiang’s heart in the process of it all.

The old man shook his head and said, “I’m not sad. I’m very gratified and happy to see you growing up so proper and well.”

Jiang Ling’er was relieved to see that her grandfather was calm. After a moment of silence, she said, “Grandpa, do you think we should cancel my engagement with Li Yan?”

Old Master Jiang was stunned. Was she really going to let Li Yan go? He sighed and said,”I’ve already told Brother Li to cancel the engagement, but Brother Li asked me to wait a little longer. Ling’er, tell me the truth. Do you love Li Yan?”

Jiang Ling’er smiled faintly and said seriously, “Grandpa, from the beginning until now, I have never loved Li Yan. You see, I made it seem to everyone that I loved him very much. In truth, I was just training my acting skills.”

Old Master Jiang was a little confused when he heard this. What did she mean?

Jiang Ling’er smiled and said half-jokingly, “The main reason why I went crazy time after time before was that I was unwilling to lose to Bai Xue. She’s just a poser. I couldn’t stand to see her on the winning end.”

The old man didn’t quite believe it, so he asked, “Seriously? Just because of that?”

Old Master Jiang was once young. He could naturally tell whether Jiang Ling’er’s madness towards Li Yan was love or just an act.

Jiang Ling’er felt a little guilty under Old Master Jiang’s gaze. Jiang Ling’er calmed herself down and nodded. “That’s right. Now that I think about it, I think it’s quite funny. I’m the daughter of a rich family. It is beneath me to compare myself to Bai Xue.”

When Old Master Jiang heard Jiang Ling’er’s words, he was a little shocked. If she was really training her acting skills, then her granddaughter’s acting skills were really good. He said, “So, you’re saying that you never loved Li Yan?”

Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “At first, I might have thought that Li Yan was quite handsome and outstanding among his peers. I did have a good impression of him, but after Bai Xue appeared, I lost interest in him.”

Old Master Jiang furrowed his brows. Could it be that he had misjudged her and mistook her acting for love?

Jiang Ling’er saw Elder Jiang frown and sighed in her heart. The original owner of this body loved Li Yan so much, how could Old Master Jiang not see it? Now that she said it was an act, the old man probably wouldn’t be able to accept it in a short time.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Grandpa, everyone has misunderstood me. They think that I love Li Yan very much and can’t do without him. This also means that my acting skills are very good, don’t you think so?”

Old Master Jiang took a sip of tea. Perhaps he had really misunderstood his granddaughter’s actions. He said, “Silly little girl, you should have told me earlier. I was afraid that you would continue being so stubborn and suffer a huge loss in the end.”

Jiang Ling’er sighed in her heart. He wasn’t wrong. The original host of her body had died from the scheming, cheating couple’s schemes after all.

“Grandpa, why don’t we cancel the engagement after the advanced mathematics competition?” Jiang Ling’er asked carefully.

Old Master Jiang was silent for a few seconds before he nodded and said, “Alright. That way, others won’t think that we are the shameless ones who insist on clinging onto the Li family.”
