“Yes, this is my eldest son. His future isn’t too promising,” He Yan said modestly. Then she continued, “The other one is my sister-in-law’s child.”

Ms. Qin smiled before saying, “Oh, I see. I’ve heard that Ms. Wen Nuan was not free to come over today.”

Ms. Qin chatted with He Yan for a while before she went over to greet the other guests.

He Yan was incredibly happy to have a chat with Ms. Qin.

She knew that her trip today had not been in vain.

One after another, people came over to talk to He Yan. There were also several people who looked at Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling.

The appearance of the two was incredibly eye-catching.

Especially Jian Yumin. His appearance was outstanding and his temperament was also quite different.

More importantly, he was focusing all his attention on his sister at the moment. The way he looked at his sister was incredibly charming.

When the young ladies at the charity dinner saw the way he looked at his sister, they couldn’t stop the love hearts that appeared in their eyes.

A man who treasured a woman was always exceptionally attractive.

Some of the people started to whisper about Jian Yumin.

“Hey, doesn’t he look like Jupiter’s Xie Minyu?”

“Yeah, he looks like that! I can’t believe he’s here at the charity dinner today!”

“He looks even better in real life!”

“Who is that little girl next to him? He’s so gentle and kind towards her. It’s so attractive.”

“Judging from the girl’s age, I think it’s his sister. She’s too young to be his girlfriend.”

“Yeah, your guess is right. That is his sister. However, it’s not his sister by blood. It’s his cousin. And she’s none other than Jian Yiling. The girl who is arrogant and spoiled.”

“Jian Yiling? How come it’s her? Isn’t she meant to be super annoying? It doesn’t seem like her.”

“Who knows. Maybe she’s just pretending to be cute in front of her brother?”

“Isn’t Jian Yiling the one who acts a lot? She thinks she’s the princess of the Jian family. She doesn’t care about anyone else.”

“…”

Initially, the conversation was about Jian Yumin. However, somewhere down the track, the discussion topic had shifted to Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling had done many things in the past. She had offended quite a lot of people. As a result, people found it entertaining to talk about her. There were so many topics to talk about.

Jian Yiling’s name was notorious in the circles of the rich and powerful families in Hengyuan City.

Initially, people were envious of Jian Yiling. However, after a while, that envy turned to dislike.

Initially, quite a few people wanted to strike a conversation with Jian Yumin. However, after seeing Jian Yiling next to him, they were discouraged to do so.

However, Jian Yumin wasn’t paying attention to anyone else. His eyes were focused on Jian Yiling.

It had been a long time since he had talked to his sister. He had been quite busy recently.

Today was an unexpected surprise for him.

“Crybaby, do you have something to donate today or do you want to buy something today?”

There was going to be a charity auction later on.

All the money made in the auction would be given to charity. All the items that were going to be auctioned had been donated by various families.

“Neither of those.”

Jian Yiling wasn’t here to donate something. Nor was she here to buy something either.

“Then if you see something you like, tell me. I’ll buy it for you,” Jian Yumin whispered to Jian Yiling. “I’ve saved up quite a bit of money from singing in the past two years.”

Jian Yiling raised her head to see Jian Yumin’s bright and serious smile.

“No thank you,” Jian Yiling replied. There was nothing that Jian Yiling wanted to buy.

Most of the items that were being auctioned off were antiques and jewelry. Jian Yiling was not interested in these things.
