From Sidekick to Bigshot

And thus, Jian Yumin and Jian Yujie turned their attention towards Yu Xi. They started to rigorously interrogate him:

“Yu Xi, what’s going on? Is someone being shameless and acting immorally?” Jian Yujie asked. He had a murderous and fierce look in his eyes.

“Yeah! Yu Xi, you better tell us the truth.” Jian Yumin threatened. He had his hand clenched in a fist

The two brothers sandwiched Yu Xi from two sides. It was as though they were going to beat him up if he didn’t tell the truth.

“No! It’s not like that! Yiling took the initiative!” Yu Xi hurriedly explained.

“What are you even saying?! What nonsense is that?” Jian Yumin cried out as he head locked Yu Xi. He continued to look at him with fierce eyes.

“It’s the truth… Yiling made Master Sheng take off his clothes…”

The Heavens could prove that what he said was the truth! It was the absolute truth!

“No way! Yiling wouldn’t care about seeing his body!” Jian Yujie said in an adamant tone.

“Yeah! That’s right!” Jian Yumin echoed.

Had his sister gotten tricked by that evil man? Was that the reason?

Is she dating? Did she get a boyfriend?

No. Absolutely not!

“No no. Yiling didn’t want to see Master Sheng’s body,” Yu Xi explained in a rush. “Master Sheng got injured. Yiling just helped to treat the wound.”

Ahhh… So that was the reason behind taking Master Sheng’s clothes off…

After that statement had been made, the emotions of the two brothers had gotten soothed.

Their baby girl hadn’t been stolen away from them.

However, even if it was for that reason, it still didn’t sit well with Jian Yumin and Jian Yujie.

And thus, the two brothers looked at Zhai Yunsheng with even more hostility than before.

Jian Yiling, who was soaking on the other side of the hot spring, could clearly hear their voices. Their voices traveled over the Japanese bamboo screen.

Everyone was laughing and having fun. This kind of lively and intimate feeling was something that Jian Yiling had never experienced before.

This feeling… It was quite nice.

###

A few hours before nighttime, Jian Shuxing and the others finally arrived at the hot spring resort.

When they arrived, Jian Yiling and the others were still in the hot spring. As a result, they only saw Grandma Jian, Grandma Jian, and Jian Yunmo.

Although Jian Yunmo had specifically requested to not see Jian Yunnao for the time being, the two of them ended up facing each other.

And thus, Jian Yunnao got tackled to the ground by Jian Yunmo.

In the Japanese-styled room at the hot spring resort, Jian Yunnao’s body fell to the ground as Jian Yunmo’s fists slammed into his brother’s body.

For the first time in his life, the gentle and polite Jian Yunmo struck his brother.

Jian Yuncheng who was standing on the side did not stop Jian Yunmo.

Jian Yunnao didn’t resist either. He let his brother’s fists land on his body.

However, Jian Yunmo avoided Jian Yunnao’s injured hand as he punched him. Instead, he punched Jian Yunnao’s face and other parts of the body.

Punch after punch.

Heavy punches landed on Jian Yunnao’s body.

Jian Yunmo’s actions were rather terrifying.

After a few more punches, Jian Yunmo snapped out of his trance. He looked at the bruised and battered Jian Yunnao in front of him.

After his senses returned, he let Jian Yunnao go. Then, he slowly got up.

“Yunmo, go ahead and punch me a few more times.” Jian Yunnao was willing to let Jian Yunmo beat him up.

Yiling refused to get angry at him. This made him feel worse than being beaten up by Jian Yunmo.

Jian Yunmo was angry because he cared.

However, refusing to get angry was because of indifference and lack of care. Their prior sibling relationship no longer existed.

Jian Yunmo slowly let go of Jian Yunnao and got up.

Jian Yuncheng helped Jian Yunnao get up. Then, he said to Jian Yunmo, “If you’re still angry, you can hit me instead. I’m in the wrong as well.”
