Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and then said, “This experience may not be a bad thing for Nuannuan.”
Wen Mo remained silent for a moment and then asked, “By the way, what did you and Grandfather talk about today? 1 can’t believe he actually let you go see Nuannuan.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “I appealed to his emotions and presented a logical argument.”
Wen Mo, in a slightly scornful tone, said, “I’m not that smart, and I’m not that highly educated. Please explain it in simpler terms.”
Jiang Ling’er clarified, “It’s very simple. 1 found a flaw in Grandfather’s words, then countered it, leaving him with no way to argue back.”
Wen Mo couldn’t help but laugh.
He said, “Haha, only you would dare to do that.”
Jiang Ling’er playfully teased, “Maybe 1 just haven’t witnessed how formidable your grandfather can be, so I’m not afraid.”
Wen Mo shook his head and said, “But after the conversation with you, Grandpa seems to be in a much better mood. 1 believe he may have changed his opinion about you.”
Jiang Ling’er was a bit surprised and said, “If that’s true, it would be great. Otherwise, it’s really tough for Nuannuan being caught in the middle.”
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the Wen family’s residence.
Wen Mo escorted Jiang Ling’er into the villa.
Old Master Wen was in the living room, and Wen Mo’s parents were present as well.
Upon seeing Jiang Ling’er, Mrs. Wen stood up with slightly red eyes and said, “You must be Miss Jiang. I am Nuannuan’s mother.”
She then looked at the man beside her and said, “This is Nuannuan’s father.”
Jiang Ling’er nodded and said, “Mrs. Wen, Mr. Wen, hello. 1 am Jiang Ling’er.”
Jiang Ling’er looked at Wen’s grandfather and inquired, “Hello Old Master Wen, how is Nuannuan doing now?”
Upon hearing Jiang Ling’er’s question, Mrs. Wen glanced at Old Master Wen with a hint of reproach.
Old Master Wen was well aware of his daughter-in-law’s meaning, sighed softly. He hadn’t bowed his head in decades, but now, for the sake of his granddaughter, he had to compromise.
Old Master Wen said, “Nuannuan is upstairs, in the room on the right. She hasn’t eaten anything since she came back. Go and talk to her first.”
Jiang Ling’er furrowed her brows and said, “Alright, I’ll make some rice porridge for her first.”
“Miss Jiang, please go talk to Nuannuan first. I’ll handle the rest,” said Mrs. Wen.
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Mrs. Wen, I’d prefer to cook for her. Nuannuan may want a change of taste since she hasn’t been eating the food at home. Besides, 1 can cook fairly well.”
Mrs. Wen hesitated for a moment before saying, “But…”
Before Mrs. Wen could finish, Mr. Wen said, “Honey, don’t rush things. Maybe Nuannuan will eat what Miss Jiang makes.”
Mrs. Wen could only nod, and then said, “Jiang Miss, it’s quite a bother, but we appreciate your help.”
Jiang Ling’er replied with a smile, “1 hope 1 can be of assistance.”
Afterward, Jiang Ling’er followed a servant to the kitchen.
Mrs. Wen gazed in the direction of the kitchen with worry and said, “Darling, with Miss Jiang’s previous reputation, and her closeness to Nuannuan… is it really…”
Wen Mo, who was nearby, furrowed his brow and coughed lightly to interrupt his mother. Now, they were seeking help, so how could she be so critical?
Mr. Wen sighed lightly and said, “Perhaps her character isn’t great, but let’s give it a try. You also know our daughter. When she’s pushed too far, she can do anything. Once Nuannuan feels a bit better, we can reason with her. We can’t be too anxious right now.”
Wen Mo couldn’t help but speak up, “If you despise her so much, why act all pitiful and cry in front of Grandfather, saying we need her to solve our problems? Shouldn’t the problem creator solve the problem?”
He paused for a moment and continued, “If Grandpa didn’t approach Ling’er today, what was your plan? Would you just wait for your daughter to starve? You can continue waiting to see how long your precious daughter can endure, and if she can’t take it anymore, we can always take her to the hospital. Why bring someone you think has a bad character to help your precious daughter?”
Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen were speechless.
How could their son be so rude to them?!
Old Master Wen coughed lightly and said, “Alright, that girl came all the way here, which means she is a real friend to Nuannuan. Nuannuan didn’t misjudge her.”
Mrs. Wen felt somewhat wronged and said, “Dad, 1 didn’t mean it that way. You used to say that that girl…”
Before Mrs. Wen could finish her sentence, Old Master Wen quickly waved his hand to interrupt her.
At the moment, Old Master Wen was feeling quite awkward. He had previously confirmed that Jiang Ling’er was not suitable to be friends with his precious granddaughter, but after his conversation with Jiang Ling’er in the morning, he realized that Jiang Ling’er was not as bad as he had initially thought.
Old Master Wen said, “Rumors stop with the wise. They said this girl can’t even do simple addition and subtraction, but she scored first place in the National Mathematics Competition.. That’s a slap in the face to everyone that ever doubted her!”
