Jiang Hua and Jiang Ling’er sat in the car, and an air of tension hung between them, creating an awkward atmosphere. Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment before he said, “Ling’er, don’t you want to know what’s really going on?”
Jiang Ling’er’s response was quick, “Dad, I know. She doesn’t love you.”
Jiang Hua was somewhat taken aback. Had it been that obvious? Even his daughter could see it. Clearing his throat, he replied, “Well… Yes.”

Jiang Hua forced a smile and said, “I’m not upset. Our relationship has been fading for a long time. 1 just find it awkward now. You won’t mock me, will you?”
Jiang Ling’er spoke seriously, “Dad, I don’t know the full story, but let me congratulate you first. You’ve finally made a decision to move on. 1 knew from the beginning that your marriage with her was one-sided.”
Jiang Ling’er didn’t know the details of her parents’ relationship, but she could see that Jiang Hua’s genuine affection had been unreciprocated.
“Dad, does Grandpa know about Jiang Jun’s background?” Jiang Ling ‘er asked.”
Jiang Hua sighed and confessed, “1 don’t know.”
Jiang Ling’er was surprised by her father’s candor. Jiang Hua had truly gathered the courage to take such a drastic step. This concered the bloodline of the family. How much did Jiang Hua like Lin Lin to make such a crazy decision? She exclaimed, “Dad, you’re really brave. If Grandpa finds out about this, he’ll be furious.”
Jiang Hua smiled awkwardly and pleaded, “Ling’er, please put in a good word for me with Grandpa.”
In reality, Jiang Hua had begun to regret his decision ever since his biological son left. However, at that time, his regret was not as apparent.
Jiang Ling’er couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her father’s request. She said, “Dad, this isn’t a good thing. If it weren’t for my bet with Jiang Jun this time, we might have continued avoiding this issue. Have you considered telling Grandpa about it?”
Jiang Hua let out a soft sigh and confessed, “No, it was your recent actions that woke me up. When your brother left, I wanted to tell your grandfather, but I hesitated and ended up leaving it unresolved.”
Jiang Ling’er raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. She asked, “Dad, what were you thinking back then? You held a high position and had numerous options. Why choose to remain in an unrequited marriage?”

Jiang Ling’er’s expression darkened as she listened. She said, “Dad, is it really just about having a child? In our family, it’s crucial for the eldest son and the eldest grandson to be recorded in the family tree. Don’t you think it’s time to inform Grandpa?”
Jiang Hua finally grasped the gravity of the situation. He said, “So, you’re worried that…”
Jiang Ling’er interjected, “Exactly. If Jiang Jun exploits this situation to provoke Grandpa, you can imagine the consequences. Do you really want to see Grandpa’s health deteriorate because of your selfish decision, Dad?”
Jiang Hua nodded slowly, the implications of his actions sinking in.
Jiang Ling’er continued, “Moreover, Jiang Jun is extremely impulsive. If he senses that he’s about to lose everything, he might look for a scapegoat. And don’t assume that Jiang Jun is exceptionally clever. If he were, he wouldn’t be in this predicament with me right now. What do you think?”
Jiang Hua pondered deeply after hearing his daughter’s compelling arguments.
Jiang Ling’er was concerned that her father might waver, so she added, “Even though Ms. Lin Lin dislikes me, Jiang Jun is still the eldest grandson of the Jiang family and my older brother. His actions against me are unjustifiable. He may have been forgiven for such behavior when he was a child, but he’s no longer a child. Isn’t it petty of him to take Ms. Lin Lin’s side? Think about Second Brother. We may not have seen much of each other since he left, but you know how well he treats me. Do you really believe that Second Brother isn’t aware of Ms. Lin Lin’s disdain for me? Yet, he’s never treated me this way.”
Jiang Hua listened carefully to his daughter’s words and began to realize the potential dangers.. Taking a deep breath, he finally asked, “Ling’er, when do you think it’s best to tell your grandfather?”
