From Sidekick to Bigshot

Then, Wen Ruo mentioned something: “Jian Yiling attended Elder Zhang’s 80th birthday as well. She even sat right next to Elder Zhang.”

From the location of her seat, it could be seen that Elder Zhang regarded Jian Yiling quite highly.

When Cai Qinyue heard this, her mood became even worse: “Ahh, so in the end, it’s not even Jian Yuncheng being capable. It’s just that the Jian family is lucky. Jian Yiling picked a good fiance.”

However, Wen Cheng disagreed with his wife’s opinion: “How can you conclude that? The Zhai family isn’t necessarily bringing honor to the Jian family. After all, Yiling is Dr. F.S. She’s a renowned surgeon! Therefore, it’s also possible for her to know big shots in the industry.”

In Wen Cheng’s eyes, Jian Yiling was the most talented surgeon. She was a top-notch doctor.

Therefore, it was reasonable for her to know powerful individuals.

“Yes, yes, you’re correct. Wen Ruo and I are just speaking about a possibility,” Cai Qinyue said. She did not dare to get into a head-on conflict with Wen Cheng anymore.

Therefore, she agreed to anything that Wen Cheng said.

Then, Cai Qinyue continued to say: “Don’t worry. Previously, I didn’t know any better. In the future, I won’t do anything that will put you in a difficult situation.”

Wen Cheng said: “It’s good that you think that way.”

Wen Cheng was quite relieved. After all, their family had grown through a lot of ups and downs. It wasn’t easy for them to sit together in harmony like this.

After dinner, Cai Qinyue went to Wen Ruo’s room.

As soon as she closed the door, Cai Qinyue finally expressed what she really wanted to say: “What kind of dumb luck does the Jian family have? They’ve only been in Beijing for a few months. However, somehow, they’ve already made a name for themselves.”

Wen Ruo: “Well, this can’t be helped. We should have expected this from the time she became the matriarch of the Zhai family.”

Cai Qinyue gazed at her daughter. She was unwilling to accept this: “Ahh, the Gods are so biased. My daughter is such a good girl! Why did she meet scum like Zhu Zimo?”

When Cai Qinyue thought of her daughter’s breakup with Zhu ZImo, she felt incredibly bad for her.

It felt worse when she compared her daughter’s situation to Jian Yiling’s situation.

Ever since young, her daughter was better than Jian Yiling. She was more well-behaved, more obedient, and more understanding.

However, Jian Yiling somehow stumbled into the best engagement.

In contrast, her daughter experienced a breakup with a scumbag.

“Mother, please don’t mention Zhu Zimo again,” Wen Ruo said. She did not want to hear his name anymore.

“Okay, okay. I won’t mention him again.”

Cai Qinyue was quiet for a moment as she was deep in thought. Then, she said to her daughter: “Ahh, even though we’re unwilling to accept this, the Jian family really has good prospects right now. Especially Jian Yuncheng. He’s the future head of the Jian family. At the same time, he’s also the CEO of the gaming company Huan You. Try to be on good terms with him.”

“I understand,” Wen Ruo replied. She did not resent her male cousins. In fact, she had decent impressions of them.

Wen Ruo took the initiative to visit the Huan You Technology Corporation Building. She also brought her own pottery work as a gift for Jian Yuncheng.

“Cousin, I made this pair of cups for you. Please keep one for yourself and give the other one to your future wife.”

Jian Yuncheng raised his head to look at Wen Ruo. The expression on his face was cold and detached.

“Thank you.”

“Have you been very busy lately? You should pay attention to your health. Try not to wear yourself out even if you’re busy,” Wen Ruo said. She expressed her concerns for Jian Yuncheng.

Jian Yuncheng paused for a moment.

All of a sudden, the memory of another young girl emerged in front of his eyes.

“Brother! Why are you working overtime again? Working overtime isn’t fun! I don’t care! I won’t allow you to work overtime! You must play with me!”

The girl had her arms crossed. There was an angry pout on her lips.

Back then, he thought that she was being unreasonable.

However now, even if he wanted to hear her say those things, he could no longer hear those words.
