A Lapdog Relying on Someone Else’s Power

The butler lowered his head and replied, "I believe you might not have that privilege."

Jiang Jun clenched his fists, seething with frustration. He retorted, "Who do you think you are? Just a lapdog relying on someone else's power. Sooner or later, you'll regret this."

With that, Jiang Jun turned on his heel and stormed back upstairs.

...

Back in his bedroom, Jiang Jun paced anxiously, his hands gripping his hair in frustration. As he gazed out at the courtyard, anger simmered within him. That despicable Jiang Ling'er had concealed her intentions so well that Jiang Jun was now on the brink of being ousted from the family.

The more he dwelled on it, the more discontented he became. After some hesitation, Jiang Jun decided to call his mother, Lin Lin.

When the call connected, Jiang Jun said, "Mom, it's Jiang Jun."

Lin Lin responded, "Oh... I know. Why are you calling me now?"
