From Sidekick to Bigshot

On the way home, Wen Cheng was incredibly worried.

The matter regarding his niece and the Young Master of the Zhai family made him incredibly anxious.

The expression on Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo’s face was also quite anxious.

When they got home, Wen Cheng immediately stormed into his study.

“Ahhh, your father really treats Jian Yiling like his own daughter,” Cai Qinyue commented sourly.

“Yeah. He treats her better than me,” Wen Ruo echoed. She was his biological daughter! However, in her father’s eyes, it seemed as though Jian Yiling was way more important.

“I don’t know… Either way, you must get along with Jian Yiling in the coming days.”

On the way home, this was the conclusion that Cai Qinyue came to.

“妈…我不要,你说过,她…”

“Mother… I don’t want to… You said that…”

In Beijing, in terms of status and social standing, the Jian family could not compete against the Wen family.

Furthermore, Wen Ruo was still upset about the inter-university talent contest.

“Please think about the situation carefully. Jian Yiling has connections with the Young Master of the Qin family and the Young Master of the Zhai family.”

“Well, do you want me to seduce men as well? Do I need to learn that from her?”

“I’m not forcing you to do this. I’m only giving you a suggestion.”

“I… I’ll think about it,” Wen Ruo replied quietly. She knew what was at stake here.

The next day, Jian Yiling received a phone call from her uncle.

“Yiling… You… About… You…”

Wen Cheng stammered. He did not know where to start.

He didn’t know what to say. If he didn’t say anything, he was worried that his precious niece would be abducted by bad guys.

However, if he did say something, he was worried about using the wrong words. He didn’t want to hurt his niece with his words.

Furthermore, it was Zhai Yunsheng! That guy made the situation much more complicated!

“Hmm?”

Wen Cheng gritted his teeth before he said: “Yiling, I’m not against you dating anyone. However, you’re still young right now. I’m just worried about some men. He might just be playing around. There are many playboys in Beijing. The son of the Xing family and the son of the Han family are the devil’s incarnation! I’m worried about those people!”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling replied: “Don’t worry. He’s not a bad person.”

Jian Yiling attempted to explain the situation to her uncle.

When Wen Cheng heard his niece’s soft and sweet voice defending Zhai Yunsheng, his entire heart sank.

His niece was too innocent! She was too innocent and naive! She wholeheartedly believed in Master Sheng! If he were to…

Wen Cheng did not dare to think about it any further.

After pausing for a moment, Wen Cheng decided that this matter could not be discussed via phone. He asked to talk to Jian Yiling face to face.

“Yiling, where are you? I will come over to talk to you.”

Jian Yiling did not tell him her address. Instead, she decided to meet him at a nearby coffee shop.

When Wen Ruo heard that Wen Cheng was going to meet Jian Yiling, she said that she would go as well.

“You want to go as well?”

“Mhmm, this matter is related to my cousin. I will try to persuade her,” Wen Ruo responded.

Wen Cheng felt that his daughter’s words were quite reasonable. Talking to someone of a similar age may work better.

And thus, Wen Cheng took Wen Ruo along to meet Jian Yiling.

When Wen Cheng saw his niece’s soft and cute face, his thoughts immediately went back to last night. That playboy… His heart felt incredibly frustrated.

However, he did not know what to say. Words failed to form in his mouth.

Finally, Wen Ruo said something: “Yiling, my father was incredibly worried about you. He doesn’t want you to hang out with playboys. He’s worried that you will get deceived and hurt.”
