From Sidekick to Bigshot

As of right now, Huo Yu was in his office. Over there, it was still daytime.

He had seven to eight monitors that were placed in front of him in a disorderly fashion.

After he had made an international call to Jian Yiling, he leaned back into his chair.

Hm… Should he tell Young Master Yuncheng about this?

Hm… Maybe not. What if he got bashed for it? What if another strange task got assigned to him?

He had been living like a babysitter recently. He didn’t want to get himself more things to do.

Yeah… That’s true. He shouldn’t tell him.

If Yiling gets into trouble, she will probably go and tell her brother anyways.

Furthermore, it would be better for Yiling to tell her brother what had happened.

He would just be an all-knowing crystal ball.

However, on the other hand, Yiling’s voice was still the same as before. It was soft and sweet. It sounded like honey water.

He wondered if she still looked like how she did when she was younger. Back then, her face was soft and chubby. Whenever she got angry, she would pout her lips. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she made it seem like no one could coax her.

Hahahaha.

In the past, Huo Yu had made Jian Yiling angry before. After that incident, Jian Yuncheng had beaten him up.

Before Jian Yiling arrived home, she received a call from Yu Xi:

“God Ling! Where did you go? Grandma Jian said you went to the hospital. What happened to you?”

Yu Xi’s voice sounded incredibly anxious.

Just then, he had visited the Old Jian Residence. However, upon arrival, Grandma Jian had told him that Jian Yiling had gone to the hospital.

After she told him that, she returned to calling her friends. This made Yu Xi incredibly anxious.

Master Sheng’s arm was still wounded. And now, Jian Yiling went back to the hospital?

Were they trying to kill him?

However, Yu Xi had misunderstood Grandma Jian’s words.

He hadn’t really thought about the situation. If he did, he would have realized that if Jian Yiling was sick again, Grandma Jian would be in the hospital. She definitely would not be calling her friends.

“I’m fine,” Jian Yiling replied. Her voice sounded calm, sweet, and loveable.

“No, no. Send me your location right now. I’ll come over immediately.”

Yu Xi didn’t believe in Jian Yiling’s words. Last time, she had also said that she was fine. However, back then, her gastroenteritis hadn’t even gotten completely better.

“I’m on my way home already,” Jian Yiling said. She didn’t plan to tell Yu Xi what happened.

Yu Xi took a look at Zhai Yunsheng before he continued to ask, “No. Give me your location right now!”

“I’m on my way home. I’ll be home soon.”

When he heard Jian Yiling repeat herself, Yu Xi decided to stop asking her questions. Instead, he went straight to the Old Jian Residence to wait for her.

When Jian Yiling arrived, she saw that Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng were sitting on the sofa in her living room.

Grandma and Grandpa Jian had already gotten used to their presence. As a result, they hadn’t come out to greet them. Instead, both of them were busy with their own business. A servant had made both of them a cup of tea.

“God Ling! You’re finally back!” Yu Xi cried out. He immediately got up to check Jian Yiling’s health.

After he made sure that nothing was wrong with her, Yu Xi continued to ask, “Wait, if you’re fine, then why did you go to the hospital?”

“My friend got bullied.”

“Who bullied your friend?” Yu Xi asked. Bullying to the point of hospitalization was no small matter.

“It’s fine. I’ll deal with it.”

Jian Yiling didn’t want to bother Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng with this matter.

“Nah, don’t be like that. We’re good mates! Let us know about this. I’ll give you some ideas,” Yu Xi said.

Jian Yiling shook her head. The expression on her small palm-sized face remained very calm.
