From Sidekick to Bigshot

Although he did not know what Jian Yiling had encountered, he was still willing to stay beside her. No matter what the situation was, he would face it with her.

A while ago, Jian Yiling planned to leave the Jian family once she turned eighteen years old.

However, her plans had changed. In these three years, she had dreamed of too many things. Some of those were her own dreams, whilst others were the dreams of the original Jian Yiling.

However, now that she thought about the situation again, she felt rather confused.

In the past, she had always seen matters as either right or wrong. She never let her emotions interfere with her judgments.

However… When it came to Grandma Jian… She was no longer an outsider.

And perhaps, there were many other people in the Jian family that she could no longer treat with an indifferent bystander’s perspective.

Jian Yiling buried her head in Zhai Yunsheng’s chest.

She had tried this method twice. It really seemed to work.

When she embraced him, the uncomfortable and sad feeling in her heart faded away. She felt much better.

And thus, she wanted to hug him for a while longer.

This time, Zhai Yunsheng’s arms hugged Jian Yiling.

However, he didn’t say nor ask anything.

Instead, he merely quietly accompanied her.

Grandma Jian’s hospitalization alarmed the Third Household of the Jian family.

Jian Shupeng and Nie Yun rushed over to Beijing. They came to visit Grandma Jian.

For the first time, Jian Yiling met her third uncle and her third aunt.

She hadn’t met them in the past few years.

Either Jian Shupeng and Nie Yun were busy or Jian Yiling was abroad.

Nie Yun had a rather small frame. However, she was energetic and decisive.

Furthermore, she was known to have a hot temper. Nie Yun would immediately say whatever came to her mind.

Nie Yun talked to Grandma Jian for quite some time.

She told her to take care of her health. Although she sounded like a broken record, it was obvious that she really cared about Grandma Jian.

As she harped on about the matter, Nie Yun’s eyes began to turn red.

Her mother-in-law almost lost her life! This would be a difficult thing for anyone to accept.

“Hey, don’t be like your sister-in-law. She’s cried so much already,” Grandma Jian commented. “I’m not dead yet. You can save your tears for my funeral hall.”

However, when Jian Yiling heard such a comment, she glared at her grandma.

Ahhh, okay. She wouldn’t mention such a thing again. She couldn’t cause her darling to be upset.

After a while, Nie Yun got rid of her sadness. Then, she turned around and gave Jian Yiling a fierce bear hug.

Jian Yiling instinctively wanted to get away from her. However, she held back.

The main reason for this was because she couldn’t physically push her third aunt away.

Nie Yun was much stronger than she had imagined.

“My goodness! Yiling~ I miss you so much! Let me give you a few kisses!”

After saying this, Nie Yun immediately kissed Jian Yiling’s fair cheeks.

Jian Yiling was stunned. Then, her cheeks began to redden.

She was kissed…

“Hahahahha, look! Yiling’s little face is turning red!” Nie Yun laughed.

“Mother, please watch yourself,” Jian Yichen reminded.

Ahhh, his mother was still the same. She would be so excited to see Yiling. In fact, she kissed and hugged Yiling every time she saw her.

Nie Yun had two sons and zero daughters. And thus, she envied other families that had a daughter. She especially envied her sister-in-law.

Jian Yiling was super cute and adorable.

“You still have the nerve to open your mouth!”

Everything was alright when Jian Yichen didn’t open his mouth. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Nie Yun became angry.
