CHAPTER 899 I DON'T CARE

Jiang Daoran burst out laughing when he heard these words from Long Ling'er.

He opened a can on his desk and took out a cube of sugar and put it into Long Ling'er's cup.

"Try the tea again."

Long Ling'er didn't say anything. She picked up the tea cup and took a small sip again.

The tea was still bitter.

But there was now a tinge of sweetness lingering in her throat.

Lin Yuzhen was that cube of sugar in Jiang Ning's life.

"I've given up,” Long Ling'er put the teacup down as if she was letting go of Jiang Ning. She sighed quietly, "As long as Lin Yuzhen is around, there's no way I can take him away from her."

"You should live your own life," said Jiang Daoran. "When the two of you were children, you two played together and you insisted on marrying him. But that was just something between children playing, and you would only know what love is after growing up."

'Tve been there before and I don't want you to feel pain and regret in the future. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Long Ling'er nodded.

"Jiang Ning won't bear to hurt you either,” continued Jiang Daoran. "He has always treated you like his younger sister and has always protected you and kept you from harm. I'm sure you can feel it too."

Jiang Daoran leaned against the sofa and smiled.

It was as if he didn't care about what Long Ling'er said earlier about how someone was going to kill him at the exhibition tonight.

He was more concerned about Jiang Ning.

He wanted Jiang Ning to live happily ever after. He didn't want Jiang Ning to go down the same path he did and hurt any of the women who loved and protected him.

"I understand," replied Long Ling'er. "Don't worry, I won't be a bother to them, and I can't be one anyway.”

If there was another woman in this world who could upset the relationship between Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen, that would make Long Ling'er even angrier.

She looked at Jiang Daoran and went back to the reason why she was here.

"Uncle Jiang, about tonight's exhibition..."

"The Pang family has never been so proactive before, so it'll look bad on me if they're so sincere and I refuse to attend," replied Jiang Daoran with a laugh. "Whatever will be, will be, you can't hide from it. Besides, there's no need to worry about news from such avenues."

"But..."

Long Ling'er was still worried.

The Pang family were the organizers for tonight's exhibition and Pang Bo was the one who told her this information. On top of that, Jiang Ning had slapped Pang Bo so hard in public. There was no way Pang Bo was going to take this lying down.

She was afraid that this was a trap.

"No buts, don't worry," Jiang Ning smiled. "Alright now, thanks for your concern, but you really needn't worry. You'd better go back to work."

"The Long family's situation is more than enough for you to handle. We didn't have many dealings with one another when your father was around, but if you need any help, you can just tell me."

Long Ling'er knew that Jiang Daoran wasn't going to listen to her no matter what she said.

She was anxious but there was nothing she could do. She could only hope that Jiang Ning wasn't really going to be heartless enough to let Jiang Daoran just die.

Jiang Hai walked Long Ling'er out, then returned to the study swiftly with a grim expression on his face.

"Master, this is not a joke!"

He could tell that Long Ling'er was really worried.

That meant that someone really wanted to kill Jiang Daoran and it wasn't an empty threat. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Since there were people who suspected that Jiang Ning was related to the Jiang family, then they would also feel that the Jiang family was a great threat to them.

They had to confirm if Jiang Ning was related to the Jiang family.

The easiest way to confirm this was to assassinate Jiang Daoran.

As long as Jiang Ning appeared and rescued Jiang Daoran, then there was no need for any other explanation.

'Why are you so wishy washy too?" Jiang

Daoran frowned. "What could happen to me?"

"Master, the Pang family...has hidden themselves from the world too well!"

"Out of the four supremely powerful families, the Jiang family is about on par with the other two. But this Pang family... after so many years, nobody has ever been able to find out exactly how powerful they really are."

Jiang Hai was worried. "We shouldn't take them lightly!"
