Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Grandma Jian immediately took a step forward and pulled Jian Yiling over to her side, “Why are you acting so shamelessly in front of your sister? Do you want my darling to call you brother? Then you need to be nice to her. You’re always bullying her. Why would she call you brother?”

Grandma Jian assumed that the reason why Jian Yumin kept calling Jian Yiling ‘crybaby’ was because he wanted to embarrass her. She assumed that Jian Yumin did not like Jian Yiling.

Although Grandma Jian directed the words at Jian Yumin, it sounded like her words were aimed at a lot of people in the room. Several of them felt like they had just got scolded.

Upon hearing Grandma Jian’s words, Jian Yumin felt dejected and depressed.

Ahhh... It seemed like all her grandsons were adopted. Only Jian Yiling was her precious grandchild. They were all picked up from somewhere else...

To the side, Jian Yujie started to laugh up his sleeve. Jian Yumin had pushed him out of the way, however, Grandma Jian had punished him for it. Serves him right.

After this, Jian Shuxing also came forward. He looked at Jian Yiling with burning eyes and tentatively asked, “Yiling, how are your studies recently?”

As Jian Yiling had moved to live at the Old Jian Residence, Jian Shuxing knew little about how his daughter was faring these days.

Whenever they saw each other, he didn’t know how to ask. As a result, he could only ask her about her studies.

However, Jian Yiling didn’t get to reply. Instead, Grandma Jian interrupted, “Yiling is studying well! You don’t need to worry about her. It makes it seem like I only know how to spoil my granddaughter. Do you think that I’m unable to teach her? It seems like someone forgot who brought him up.”

No one dared to comment on that.

She had raised all three of her sons!

“Mother... That’s not what I meant...” Jian Shuxing said. There was nothing that Jian Shuxing could do in the face of his mother.

“Alright then,” Grandma Jian said. She finally let go of the matter and allowed Jian Shuxing to speak to Jian Yiling.

Jian Shuxing continued to speak softly to Jian Yiling, “Yiling, I plan to take a few days off work. I’ll take you and your brothers out for some fun. How does that sound?”

Jian Shuxing was unable to convince Grandma Jian to let Jian Yiling leave the Old Jian Residence. And thus, he decided to use a roundabout tactic to find a chance to spend some time together with his daughter. He wanted to ease the rift between them.

Jian Yiling looked at Jian Shuxing’s face. His face looked mature and refined.

However, Jian Yiling’s mood had changed subtly after looking at Jian Shuxing. She didn’t know whether or not it was because of the dream she had yesterday.

She avoided Jian Shuxing’s gaze and looked at Jian Yunnao who was lying on the hospital bed.

At the same time, Jian Yunnao had also directed his gaze at Jian Yiling.

After their eyes met, Jian Yiling calmly moved her eyes away again.

This calmness was unexpectedly piercing.

The eyes of Jian Yiling that Jian Yunnao saw were devoid of warmth. It was like the calm surface of the water. There were no ripples.

She was incredibly quiet. It was like the first time when she had accepted his anger.

Jian Yiling then replied to Jian Shuxing, “I need to study. There’s no time.”

When facing Jian Shuxing, Jian Yiling didn’t know how to explain her feelings.

She knew that this was the father of the body that she was occupying right now.

However, ‘father’ was just a distant and cold word to her.

The only thing that she could do was answer his questions according to her rational mind.

Indeed, Jian Yiling didn’t have time these days. Even after Jian Yunnao’s surgery was over, there was still a lot of work lined up for her to do.

“Ahh, that’s fine. That’s okay. I’ll wait until you’re free,” Jian Shuxing said in a hurry.

In the past, his daughter loved going out. She always tugged at his arm and said that she wanted to go out on the weekends.
