From Sidekick to Bigshot

The rising winds in Beijing forebode the coming storm.

No one knew who would ultimately win between Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan. This storm had the potential to affect the entirety of Beijing.

When Mo Shiyun learned about what was happening, she became incredibly anxious.

She was afraid that Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng would defeat Qin Chuan.

She was afraid that Qin Chuan would fail.

Mo Shiyun had no idea how much strength each side had. She was unaware of Qin Chuan's odds of winning.

However, as long as she felt the presence of danger, she could not rest assured.

She even began to imagine what would happen after Qin Chuan became defeated.

She wasn't thinking this way because she didn't have confidence in Qin Chuan. Rather, she was terrified of Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng. That fear was deep-rooted in her heart.

Finally, she could not hold herself back anymore.

Mo Shiyun left the Qin Residence to look for Jian Yiling.

After all, Qin Chuan only restricted Qin Yufan's freedom. He didn't restrict hers.

As Mo Shiyun couldn't get into Jian Yiling's neighborhood, she had to wait at the gates.

She waited there for the entire afternoon. Around dinner time, she finally saw Jian Yiling.

As soon as Mo Shiyun saw Jian Yiling, she immediately knelt down in front of her.

"Jian Yiling, I'm begging you! Please don't do anything to Qin Chuan! Please don't hurt him!"

Despite Mo Shiyun's pleas, Jian Yiling looked at her indifferently.

This was not the first time Mo Shiyun knelt down in front of her like this.

She did this last time as well because she was afraid of Jian Yiling stealing Qin Chuan from her.

This time, she knelt down because she was scared of Jian Yiling defeating Qin Chuan.

In the past, even though Mo Shiyun did a lot of wrong things, she was still a strong person who wouldn't give up easily.

However, she was now willing to kneel down and beg someone for the sake of something small.

She didn't want to work towards anything anymore.

She didn't want to strive toward climbing up the social ladder.

Mo Shiyun had changed. However, she hadn't changed the bad habits of the past. Rather, she became more cautious. She desperately wanted to keep the things she had right now.

To make matters worse, she didn't trust Qin Chuan.

And thus, when she heard any bad news, she would come and beg Jian Yiling.

Was Mo Shiyun actually in love with Qin Chuan? Or was she in love with what Qin Chuan could give her?

Was she scared of losing Qin Chuan? Or was she scared of losing the wealth and fame Qin Chuan gave her?

When Jian Yiling looked back up, she saw Qin Chuan standing not far away.

When Qin Chuan returned home, he quickly learned that Mo Shiyun came to the neighborhood where Jian Yiling lived. As he was worried that Mo Shiyun would do something harmful to Jian Yiling, he decided to come as well.

However, when he saw Mo Shiyun kneel down and beg Jian Yiling, he felt incredibly disappointed in her. This act of kneeling made him more disappointed than all the other impulsive things she did in this lifetime.

This was not the girl he once fell in love with. The girl in front of him didn't have any motivation or ambition. In fact, she didn't even have any self-respect or dignity.

In his previous life, he fell in love with Mo Shiyun because, despite her humble origins, she always maintained an optimistic attitude.

She would not be overwhelmed when she faced any difficulties.

She would not bow down to others for no good reason.

She was proud and strong at heart.

She was a golden phoenix flower that bloomed in the desert.

And thus, when Qin Chuan brought Mo Shiyun back to Beijing, he attempted to convince himself that even though she did wrong things, she had done so because of pride. It was because she refused to bow down and give in as she did in her last life. However, unlike last time, she wasn't lucky enough. That was why she ended up in the situation she was in.

Therefore, it was his responsibility to help her because he had married her in his previous life.

Even though he wasn't responsible for helping her, Qin Chuan could not stand by and watch his past wife live that miserable life.

He couldn't treat her as a stranger who had no relationship with him.
