Chapter 25
Ambition and Motivation
....When Jiang Jun heard the old man’s words, he was even more unconvinced. Jiang Jun said, “Grandpa, do you really think that Jiang Ling’er is motivated to participate in the competition? Jiang Ling’er made a big bet with their class monitor. If her results aren’t better than the class monitor’s, she has to quit school. With Jiang Ling’er’s results, how can she dare to compete with others? Don’t you think this is too ridiculous?
“Do you remember how much effort you spent to send Jiang Ling’er to this university? Have you forgotten? If Jiang Ling’er loses, she will be kicked out of the school and the Jiang family will become a laughing stock.”
When the Jiang family’s elder heard this, he fell silent. Then, he looked at Jiang Ling’er and said, “Ling’er, are you confident?”
“Try me,” Jiang Ling’er said with a mysterious smile.
Jiang Ling’er knew that the old master of the Jiang Family didn’t care about the Jiang family’s reputation at all. What he cared about was Jiang Ling’er’s future.
Old Master Jiang smiled lovingly and said, “As long as you’re confident.”
Jiang Jun was even more furious. He couldn’t control the old master of the Jiang family, but he could certainly teach his useless sister a lesson.
Jiang Jun said, “Jiang Ling’er, I won’t say anything more since Grandpa pampers you. However, you shouldn’t be so ignorant. You won’t get any benefits if the Jiang family is disgraced.”
Jiang Ling’er glanced at Jiang Jun. Originally, because of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Ling’er didn’t want to argue with Jiang Jun, but Jiang Jun didn’t seem to want to shut up. Jiang Ling’er said, “How can you be sure that I will lose?”
Jiang Jun said mockingly, “Ha… you? You think you will win?”
Jiang Ling’er said lightly, “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I win?”
Hearing this, Jiang Jun said sarcastically, “I’m too lazy to argue with you now. If you lose and embarrass the Jiang family, you’ll have to deal with what comes after.”
Jiang Ling’er smiled and said, “Yue Ling picked a fight with me to help Bai Xue humiliate me. And now, here you are, trying to dissuade me from joining the competition. If I do pull out, I would immediately lose the bet. Who are you doing this for? Are you trying to help a certain someone?”
Jiang Jun was a little flustered, but he still said firmly, “I… I just don’t want you to embarrass yourself. When the time comes, the Jiang Family will be embarrassed. I’m trying to dissuade you to save the Jiang family from embarrassment, but if you insist on joining the competition, that is because of your own selfish desires.”
Oh my, selfish desires? He had really been a bootlicker for too long. He’d learned his master’s technique of slandering others.
Jiang Ling’er said, “I’ll compete with Yue Ling in grades. If I lose, I’ll have to leave the school. Why don’t you make a bet with me too?”
“Ling’er,” the Old Master Jiang said.
Jiang Ling’er said with a faint smile, “Grandpa, I don’t want to use this method. However, you should know how he treats me in secret. A few days ago, he even set a trap for me on Bai Xue’s behalf. Fortunately, I was quick-witted and their schemes failed.”
After saying that, Jiang Ling’er looked at Jiang Jun provocatively. She said, “Don’t say no. Today, I, Jiang Ling’er, will make a bet with you. Jiang Jun, do you dare to take on the bet?”
When Jiang Jun saw Jiang Ling’er ‘s bold actions, he felt victorious. Daring to speak to her brother this way was not an attitude that a younger sister should have. Jiang Jun said, “Grandfather, look at Jiang Ling’er, talking to her elder brother like this. What kind of attitude is this?”
Old Master Jiang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Jun coldly. He said seriously, “How dare you complain to me? How could you set up a trap for your sister? Are you even human?”
Jiang Jun immediately panicked and said, “Grandpa…”
Jiang Ling’er sneered. Jiang Jun was really stupid and had no taste.
“What are you laughing at?” Jiang Jun asked angrily.
Jiang Ling’er raised her eyebrows and said lazily, “I want to make a bet with you. Do you dare accept?”
Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s expression, Jiang Jun was provoked. He immediately said, “Alright, you’re good. Since you’re so clever, how about this… If you can pass the first test, I’ll leave you alone in the future.”
Jiang Ling’er felt even more disdain in her heart. Jiang Jun’s words were very sinister. He tried stopping Jiang Ling’er from participating in the competition to please a certain someone. And now, he called her clever, yet insulted her with the low requirements of the bet.
Jiang Ling’er said disdainfully, “Huh… Pass? That’s a very low requirement. It’s not exciting at all. How about this? If I get into the top three, you’ll break off all ties with the Jiang family in the future. How about it? Do you dare accept this bet?”
Seeing Jiang Ling’er’s confidence, Old Master Jiang was a little stunned. Was his precious granddaughter really that confident?
Jiang Jun smiled mockingly and said, “You? Top three? Are you sure? I’ll cut you some slack. As long as you don’t get last place, you win.”
When Jiang Ling’er saw that Jiang Jun had taken the bait, she continued, “No need. I said top three, and I mean it. If I get into the top three, you’ll cut off all ties with the Jiang family in the future. How about it? Do you dare take the bet? Grandpa’s our witness.”
