Grandma Jian went up and comforted Jian Yiling again, "Okay, good girl. If you do something wrong, admit it, but never do it again! If someone makes you angry again, don't be so impulsive. If you don't know what to do, talk to grandma."

Grandma Jian consistently defended her granddaughter despite knowing that she was in the wrong.

She defended the Jian family, and especially Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling and Jian Shuxing stayed back at the Old Jian Residence for dinner.

After the meal, everyone sat together and sipped tea.

At this time, Grandpa Jian asked about a recent event that was noteworthy that occurred in Hengyuan city.

"I heard that that man from Beijing has come to Hengyuan City?"

Although Grandpa Jian wasn't clear with his words, Jian Shuxing knew exactly who he was talking about. There were only a few people who were worthy to be mentioned by Grandpa Jian.

"Yes, he's here," Jian Shuxing had already confirmed the news.

The news was deliberately released by the Zhai family. It was done so that everyone in Hengyuan City would keep watch of this man.

"Then you should pay attention to it. Try to keep some distance from him. That man from the Zhai family is most troublesome. If something were to happen, it will be difficult to deal with." Even Grandpa Jian was worried about this matter.

"Don't worry dad. I know." Jian Shuxing said as he knew what was going on, "But Dad, I don't understand why the Zhai family is so nervous. Even though he is the only child of the Zhai family, he is an adult already. They shouldn't be…"

Jian Shuxing was rather confused on how the Zhai family treated their child.

Grandpa Jian sighed, "This Master Sheng is not only the only child of the Zhai family. He also has a weak heart from birth. If something happens, he will die. His life was protected by the Zhai family from birth till now."

This information was revealed to Grandpa Jian by a good friend in Beijing. This wasn't a secret in Beijing.

Jian Shuxing continued, "I don't know what relationship Master Sheng has with the Tianxing Group. I don't understand why he came all the way to Hengyuan City. I not only received the news from the Zhai family in Beijing, but I also received news from the Tianxing Group."

Grandpa Jian also knew the reason for that. "Tianxing Group's leader is no other than the second master of the Zhai family. He is the uncle of Master Sheng. In his early years, this second master was a ruthless character. He couldn't be disciplined and constantly caused trouble. In fact, he made quite of few enemies. When one of his enemies came to find him, his older brother died trying to save him. And thus, this caused him to completely correct his former misdeeds. He feels as though he owes his elder brother and so all these years, he hasn't married. Other than work, he takes care of his nephew. He has even announced to the public that his business empire is going to be left to his nephew."

Most people didn't know the reason behind all this. Grandpa Jian had only heard from his former friend.

It was because the second Master of the Zhai family felt that he owed his brother and his family, he never mentioned that he was from the Zhai family when he initially entered the business world. Everyone only knew that his surname was Zhai.

"I didn't expect the Tianxing Group to have such a relationship with the Zhai family."

This was indeed quite shocking. The Jian family's background or strength could not be compared to the Tianxing Group nor the Zhai family.

Jian Yiling held her teacup and took small sips whilst she listened to her father and grandpa talk.

Beijing and the surname was Sheng.

A name suddenly popped up in Jian Yiling's mind.

It was him! The villain of this book! He was the biggest threat to the male lead after he returned to Beijing!
