Jiang Jun clenched his teeth and said, “I have so much respect for him, how can he be so ruthless? Tell me, how can he treat me like this?”
Lin Lin sneered and replied, “Hmph… What do you have to complain about? Over the years, hasn’t the Jiang family given you enough money annually? But what about you? You’ve spent a considerable amount of it on that cheap woman Bai Xue. Do you really think the Jiang family’s money comes out of thin air and can be spent recklessly?”
Jiang Jun glared at Lin Lin and gritted his teeth, saying, “Mom, I haven’t spent all the money. 1 still have some left, just not a lot.”
Lin Lin scoffed, “Not a lot? How much do you have left? I doubt you even have a hundred thousand now.”
Ever since Jiang Jun got involved with Bai Xue, his monthly expenses had increased tenfold. However, Bai Xue, that cheap woman, hadn’t brought him any real benefits, despite Jiang Jun spending so much on her.
Feeling extremely guilty, Jiang Jun pleaded, “Mom, 1 beg you. Please ask Uncle to help me one more time. You want me to start as an ordinary employee, but I really can’t do it.”
Lin Lin looked at Jiang Jun, who resembled the man she loved in appearance but lacked his capabilities and determination.
Nevertheless, Lin Lin still felt a pang of maternal compassion. After some thought, she said, “1’11 help you, but you must agree to two conditions.”
Jiang Jun was displeased that there were conditions attached to his mother’s help. However, thinking about his future job, he asked, “What are the conditions?”
Lin Lin remained silent for a moment and then said, “First, when you work at your uncle’s place, you can’t behave like you did in the Jiang family. You must work diligently, understand?”
Jiang Jun adopted a meek and obedient expression and replied, “Okay, 1 will do my best. What’s the second condition?”
With a serious tone, Lin Lin said, “The second condition is that you must promise me you won’t have any contact with that cheap woman, Bai Xue. If I find out you’re still secretly working for her, 1 won’t give you any more chances. Do you understand?”
Jiang Jun furrowed his brow and said, “But Mom, Bai Xue…”
Lin Lin instantly turned cold and said, “I don’t care how perfect she seems to you. In my eyes, she’s a cheap woman. Do you understand? Don’t cross my bottom line. If you can’t comply, then you’re on your own. I won’t be able to help you.”
Jiang Jun reluctantly agreed, saying, “Okay, Mom, don’t be angry. 1’11 do as you say.”
Although Jiang Jun felt intense resentment, he knew that finding a job was more important for now. Once he had a stable income and some money, there wouldn’t be anything he couldn’t do.
Of course, Lin Lin was well aware of Jiang Jun’s petty thoughts, but this time, she didn’t argue back. There were ways to deal with Jiang Jun.
She said, “If you had listened to me earlier, we wouldn’t be facing these problems today.”
Jiang Jun grumbled, “I never expected that old man would be so heartless, actually kicking me out of the Jiang family.”
Lin Lin felt a sudden annoyance and replied, “It’s all because you lack foresight. 1 told you to get closer to him, to please him more, but you didn’t do anything. You’ve never been close to him since you were a child, so it’s no surprise he has no emotional attachment to you. Besides, he’s the head of the Jiang family.
Look at how everyone else tries to please him. You’re the only one who couldn’t do it and still thinks so highly of yourself.”
Jiang Jun argued, “Even if 1 wasn’t close to the old man, I always respected Jiang Hua!”
When Jiang Hua was brought up, Lin Lin was momentarily stunned, then sighed, “Hmph… I never expected Jiang Hua to be so ruthless. He used to be completely devoted to me.”
After a long silence, Lin Lin sighed softly and said, “Jiang Jun, when you’re at your uncle’s place this time, make the most of this opportunity. If you encounter any more problems, 1 won’t be able to help you further. Do you understand?”
Jiang Jun responded, “Okay, Mom, don’t worry. After going through this experience, if I don’t become more sensible, I’d be letting you down.”
Although Jiang Jun said these words, his actual thoughts were known only to himself.
Seeing her son acting obedient, Lin Lin felt somewhat relieved and said, “Good. Now go and rest. Sorting out your work situation won’t happen overnight. We’ll discuss it more tomorrow.”
Lin Lin’s willingness to help eased Jiang Jun’s mind. He replied, “Mom, I’m going to rest now. You should get some rest too.”
Lin Lin returned to her room.
Ever since the discussion of divorce, she and Jiang Hua had begun sleeping in separate rooms.
After entering the bathroom, Lin Lin took a relaxing bath, put on some sexy lingerie, and admired herself in the mirror, feeling quite satisfied.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Lin walked to the door of Jiang Hua’s room without knocking, and using her key, she entered without hesitation..
