From Sidekick to Bigshot

And thus, Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan arrived at the Wen Residence.

As soon as they arrived there, the first person that they saw was Wen Cheng.

Upon hearing that Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling were visiting today, Wen Cheng decided to wait for them at the front door.

Wen Cheng frowned as he said to Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling: “A Nuan, please don’t worry. Our parents just want to see you. I’ve already told them the situation. They won’t be unreasonable.”

Wen Nuan: “I understand. Furthermore, I can accept if my mother and father want to scold me. However, this is as long as they don’t involve Yiling in this matter.”

. 

Wen Cheng: “Don’t worry. Our parents love Yiling. They wouldn’t blame her.”

Then, Wen Cheng said to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, I’m sorry about what happened. I will teach your cousin to behave. In the future, I will not let her do things that will harm you.”

Ever since that day, Wen Cheng hadn’t gotten the opportunity to apologize to Jian Yiling.

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault,” Jian Yiling replied. She could distinguish the good from the bad.

Wen Cheng reached out and patted his niece’s head. For the first time in days, a hint of a smile appeared on his face: “Thank you, Yiling.”

After that, Jian Yiling, Wen Nuan, and Wen Cheng walked into the living room of the Wen Residence.

Grandma and Grandpa Wen had been waiting inside the living room.

Cai Qinyue was also there. However, Wen Ruo was nowhere to be seen.

“A Nuan, Yiling.”

Upon seeing Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling, Grandma Wen got up and took the initiative to greet them.

“Mother,” Wen Nuan greeted as she walked over to Grandma Wen.

Then, Grandma Wen hugged her daughter.

Jian Yiling watched by the side without moving.

Upon seeing this, Grandpa Wen asked Jian Yiling: “Yiling, what’s wrong? Are you not close to us anymore?”

However, even upon hearing this, Jian Yiling did not move. She was not used to dealing with such situations.

Grandpa Wen softly explained: “Yiling, please don’t worry. We’re not here to blame you.”

When Cai Qinyue heard this, her eyes widened with surprise.

She assumed that Grandpa and Grandma Wen were here to blame Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling.

Grandma Wen sighed before she said: “Your brother already explained the situation to us. Wen Ruo was indeed at fault first.”

“Thank you, mother and father,” Wen Nuan replied. When she heard this, she became less worried.

Then, Grandma Wen said to Wen Nuan: “However, I hope that the conflict between you guys can be eased. I just want this incident to pass by. In the future, we’re still family. Wen Ruo is still your niece. She’s still Yiling’s cousin. I don’t want the family to become enemies.”

After all, when people got older, they just hoped for their children and grandchildren to get along.

Therefore, Grandma Wen had been placed into a difficult situation.

On one side was her daughter, and on the other side was one of her granddaughters.

She loved both of these individuals.

Just like how a palm and the back of a hand were both made of flesh, she valued both of them equally.

If she had to help one side, she wouldn’t know what to do.

And thus, she only wanted to deal with the aftermath. She was attempting to persuade her daughter and granddaughter to forgive Wen Ruo.

A frown was evident on Cai Qinyue’s face.

Her parents-in-law wanted to persuade Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling to let go of the previous incident!

“Yiling, come over to me,” Grandma Wen beckoned.

Jian Yiling hesitantly walked over to Grandma Wen and sat down beside her.

“Yiling, why are you so thin? Have you not been eating properly? Studying is difficult. You need to eat more and rest more. Try not to wear yourself out.”

Grandma Wen said a lot of things at once to Jian Yiling.

Although the elders of the Wen family loved Wen Ruo the most, they also adored their other granddaughter.

“Yiling, will you forgive Wen Ruo?” Grandma Wen asked Jian Yiling.
