Brainless Fool

“Miss Han,” Jiang Ling’er said mockingly, “I think that most people see you as a brainless fool. You’re the Han family’s failure.”

Han Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost fainted. She looked at Mrs. Li pitifully.

“Aunt, are you just going to let her scold me?” Han Xiaoxiao asked. “Her doing this is equivalent to scolding the Han family!”

“What? Do you want Aunt Li to say the same things you said?” Jiang Ling’er mocked. “I really don’t know how you have the cheek to ask her to speak up for you.”

After a pause, she continued, “The Li family invited me because our two families have a good relationship. We won’t turn against each other just because of a failed marriage alliance. On the other hand, don’t call yourself a Han family member when you go out in the future. Otherwise, people will think that your family has problems in upbringing.”

Mrs. Li and everyone else was speechless.

Han Xiaoxiao glared at Jiang Ling’er angrily, her expression turning even uglier.

“Why are you glaring at me?” Jiang Ling’er raised her eyebrows and asked. “I’m sure many people were also curious as to why the Li family invited my family, but they didn’t say anything; Only you did. Do you think you embarrassed my family just by mocking me? Actually, they aren’t because it’s not my fault, nor is it the Jiang family’s fault. However, the Li family will definitely be embarrassed by your actions this time, even more so for the Hans.”

“What right do you have to say that the Hans would feel embarrassed?” Han Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Jiang Ling’er replied, “Because you’re brainless. If I were you, I would’ve run away long ago. How can you still have the face to continue arguing? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Aunt Li if you’re brainless or not.”

On the other hand, Mrs. Li never expected her niece to be so stupid. She angrily slapped Han Xiaoxiao.

Han Xiaoxiao covered her face and cried.

Old Madam Li was disgusted, “Take her away. Don’t bring her back to the Li family in the future.”

Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment before she nodded.

“Everyone, I’m very sorry for the embarrassment. Please excuse me for a moment,” she said.

Then, she looked at Han Xiaoxiao.

She coldly said, “What are you still doing here? Hurry up and leave!”

Han Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to stay, hurriedly leaving.

“Ling’er,” Old Madam Li said apologetically, “Grandma Li doesn’t know much about you and Li Yan, but I know Li Yan is in the wrong here. I’ve made you suffer today.”

“Grandma Li, nobody can make me suffer when I don’t want to,” said Jiang Ling’er.

Old Madam Li nodded, “That’s right. No matter who it is, we can’t let anyone bully us. My good Ling’er can’t let anyone step on her.”

“Miss Jiang, aren’t you afraid of offending people?” Gu Hanhan suddenly asked. “Isn’t there a saying that says, forgive people when you can?”

Jiang Ling’er looked at Gu Hanhan. Was this woman teaching her a lesson?

She replied, “Miss Gu, please don’t try to act as a saint. For who can be forgiven and who can’t, I know what to do. I don’t need you to teach me.”

“Miss Jiang, I only had good intentions. There’s no need to make it sound so bad,” Gu Hanhan said helplessly.

“Hmm?” Jiang Ling’er smiled and said. “Good intentions? Then I’ll return that kindness to you.”

“How can you not see I meant well? I’m just afraid that if you do this, the Li family and the Han family will have a grudge against each other.” Gu Hanhan smiled.

“Miss Gu, are you blaming Grandma Li for not helping Miss Han bully me earlier?” Jiang Ling’er asked.

She continued, “That conflict was between me and Miss Han; why would the Lis and the Hans get angry at each other? Even if grudges did exist, it’d be between my family and the Hans, no?”

Gu Hanhan’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that this incident would make Mrs. Han lose face.”

“Do you think Aunt Li will be embarrassed by the way Miss Han does things?” Jiang Ling’er mocked.

Gu Hanhan revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

“No,” she said. “I mean, you shouldn’t be unforgiving. You should always leave a line for everything so that we can meet again in the future, right?”

“How do you know I didn’t?” Jiang Ling’er asked disdainfully.

“Did you?” Gu Hanhan retorted. “Why do I think you only pushed it too far?”

“Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean that others can’t.” Jiang Ling’er said with a smile, “If you can’t see it, then shut up. Otherwise, you’ll implicate the Gu family.”

“What do you mean by that?” Gu Hanhan clenched her fists and asked.. “Are you threatening me here?”
