Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a prolonged silence, Old Master Li finally spoke, saying, “Li Yan, given the circumstances, you must decide for yourself.”

Li Yan was also deeply saddened, and it seemed that everyone in the family was heartbroken from his decision.

At this point, Li Yu, who had been silent all along, spoke up, saying, “If you choose to be with Bai Xue, then make sure to keep her in check and not provoke Jiang Ling’er.”

Li Yan was taken aback, looking at Li Yu with confusion. What did his younger uncle mean by this?

Li Yu continued with a cold tone, “Now that you and Jiang Ling’er have no engagement anymore, her attitude towards you won’t involve any entanglements. If Jiang Ling’er doesn’t cause any trouble, but Bai Xue continues to act shamelessly, don’t blame me for not warning you about it.”

Li Yan was shocked into silence.

Why would Li Yu speak up for Jiang Ling’er? Was it to protect the Li family’s reputation, or was it something else? Li Yan thought for a few seconds and suddenly remembered that Li Yu had communicated with Jiang Ling’er this afternoon and even mentioned that he would take care of her in the future. Could it be that he was ready to fulfill his promise?

Li Yu explained, “Don’t look at me like that. I haven’t been back for long, but 1 can see that Bai Xue isn’t a good person. She stirs up trouble and has no sense of right and wrong.”

Pausing for a moment, Li Yu continued scornfully, “You’re still so gullible, always believing her. If Jiang Ling’er surpasses Bai Xue in the future, Bai Xue will surely resort to all sorts of excuses to target Jiang Ling’er. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and try. See if Bai Xue is that kind of person.”

Li Yan replied defensively, “No, Bai Xue is a very kind person.”

Li Yan’s face turned sour. He now knew that Bai Xue wasn’t as kind as she made herself to be, but everyone has flaws, right?

Li Yu taunted him, “Really kind of her, using the explicit video of you two to provoke Jiang Ling’er.”

Li Yan felt deeply hurt but still tried to defend Bai Xue. He said, “Bai Xue only did it because she was afraid you’d force me to marry Jiang Ling’er. She has always been a kind girl.”

After saying this, Li Yan suddenly felt like slapping himself.

Li Yu continued to mock, “Oh, really? Can I interpret it as you didn’t provide Bai Xue with enough security, so she resorted to such shameless tactics?”

Li Yan’s expression turned fierce, and he glared at Li Yu. He shouted, “Enough! You’re not allowed to insult her.”

Shameless? It was indeed shameless. When they decided to be together, Bai Xue had said not to be conspicuous, as it could harm their reputation. But now, she had sent a video to Jiang Ling’er. Wasn’t she afraid that Jiang Ling’er would expose it?

Li Yu, with a disdainful tone, said, “What’s wrong? Feeling embarrassed now? Don’t want her to become the town laughingstock? Then manage her well. This isn’t a threat, it’s a reminder from your uncle.”

Wang Ying sensed that something was amiss and said, “Li Yu, what are you saying?”

“Sister-in-law, there are many things you’re better off not knowing to avoid getting upset,” Li Yu said.

Li Yu implied that there were things that couldn’t be revealed.

Wang Ying shook her head and said, “No, Li Yu. Although you went abroad at a young age, 1 always took good care of you when you were here. I’ve been like a mother to you. Can’t you just explain yourself to me?”

Li Yu was silent for a long time before saying, “Sister-in-law, rather than worry about whether Jiang Ling’er will keep her promise and the videos away from the public eye, you should be worried that Bai Xue will use the videos to threaten you and Big Brother to compromise and accept her into the Li family.”

Old Master Li immediately frowned. This was indeed a possibility.

Wang Ying gritted her teeth and said, “Shameless! Even if I die, I’ll never agree. I…”

Before Wang Ying could finish her sentence, Li Yan shouted angrily, “Li Yu, don’t talk nonsense and tarnish Bai Xue’s reputation.”

Although Li Yan appeared furious, he was deeply troubled. In the past, he would have sworn with certainty that Bai Xue would never resort to such shameless tactics. But now, he dared not guarantee it.

Li Yu remained unperturbed and smiled, saying, “Your Bai Xue was afraid we’d pressure you into marrying Jiang Ling’er, right? If we can pressure you, why couldn’t she use damaging the Li family’s reputation as leverage against us? For the sake of your so-called love, she’s capable of anything, isn’t she?”

Li Yan fell silent for a moment, feeling uneasy. He replied, “No, Bai Xue would never do that.”

Li Yu chuckled and said, “It’s best she doesn’t. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Li Yan, with a cold tone, asserted, “Bai Xue is the kindest and smartest girl I’ve ever met. She’s too intelligent to do something so foolish.”

Indeed, even if Bai Xue wasn’t kind, she wouldn’t be foolish enough to destroy everything.
