From Sidekick to Bigshot

"Then we can look for someone outside of the Zhai family and the Jian family!" Situ Zhong exclaimed. He remained undeterred.

He ordered his subordinates to search for individuals who interacted with Jian Yiling on a regular basis. Then, he conducted a detailed investigation on those individuals.

After some screening, Situ Zhong focused his attention on Long Yuetina.

Long Yuetian's relationship with Jian Yiling was not simple. Not only was she Jian Yiling's friend, but she was also Jian Yiling's important business partner. In the past, when Jian Yiling was still underage, Long Yuetian also helped Jian Yiling invest and deal with company matters.

Due to this reason, Situ Zhong assumed Jian Yiling would not sit around if Long Yuetian got kidnapped.

After doing some further investigation, Situ Zhong discovered Long Yuetian often traveled by herself and rarely brought bodyguards with her.

This meant she was a perfect target.

After determining the target, Situ Zhong acted quickly.

He notified the other families in the Nine Dragons Association to begin the kidnapping of Long Yuetian.

At this moment in China, Long Yuetian was video chatting with Jian Yiling.

"Darling! Let me see your son!"

Jian Yiling was no longer enough to satisfy her. She desperately wanted to see Jian Yiling's baby.

Jian Yiling moved her camera over. Her son just finished drinking milk and was sleeping soundly.

His fair cheeks looked chubby and soft.

"Is he drinking your breast milk?" Long Yuetian asked out of curiosity.

"Nope," Jian Yiling answered. A Sheng didn't want her to breastfeed their son.

"Is he drinking baby milk formula then?"

"Nope." Master Zhai insisted that breast milk was better and baby milk formula wasn't nutritious enough.

As her son was the first addition to the Zhai family in many years, Grandpa Zhai and the Second Master of the Zhai family treasured him. All of his rations had to be the best.

"If he isn't drinking your breast milk nor is he drinking baby milk formula, what does he drink?"

"We found a wet nurse."

"Ahhh, such is capitalism. Even in this day and age, wet nurses still exist…"

As Long Yuetian said this, she completely forgot that she was an evil capitalist herself.

"Oh right… Where has your husband's uncle… Been lately?" Long Yuetian asked Jian Yiling out of the blue.

She hadn't seen him for quite some time.

As Zhai Zhongshen's whereabouts were usually top secret, it was difficult for people outside the Zhai family to know his whereabouts.

And hence, even if Long Yuetian's company was collaborating with the Tian Xing Group, she still did not have that information.

Long Yuetian did not know why she asked this question. Whenever she saw Zhai Zhongshen, she would feel incredibly flustered. However, when she didn't see him, she would become inexplicably curious about his whereabouts.

"He's preparing to propose," Jian Yiling said.

"What did you just say?" Long Yuetian exclaimed in shock.

Her voice almost woke up Little Zeze.

Propose?!!

Zhai Zhongshen was preparing to propose?!

Who was he proposing to? When was this going to happen?

"Uncle Zhai is preparing to propose," Jian Yiling repeated. Jian Yiling assumed Long Yuetian did not hear her words clearly the first time around.

"W-When…?"

"The last few days," Jian Yiling answered truthfully.

Jian Yiling heard about this from Zhai Yunsheng. When Zhai Yunsheng told her about this, the corners of his lips were upturned and the look on his face was very happy.
