From Sidekick to Bigshot

“He’s not that kind of person,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Cousin, you don’t know Beijing that well. These playboys in Beijing do crazy things! In fact, they go through women more quickly than they go through clothes. Master Sheng is merely interested in new things. After this period of time, he will definitely leave you,” Wen Ruo said. Her tone was heavy as she attempted to persuade Jian Yiling.

“He won’t be like that,” Jian Yiling replied. She was not good at debating with people.

“Yiling…” Wen Cheng sighed. The more he looked at his niece, the more he felt that she was being tricked.

His niece was too naive!

Wen Cheng’s face was filled with concern.

Wen Ruo continued to speak to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, you can’t judge someone based on their appearance. You don’t know what they’re like. Furthermore, if you don’t have any love or respect for yourself, in the end, you’re going to be the one who gets hurt.”

“Yiling…” Wen Cheng started again.

Unlike Wen Ruo, Wen Cheng was genuinely worried about his niece. However, he did not know how to express himself.

He did not think that things were that serious yet. However, he still felt that such a situation was improper. He was worried that Zhai Yunsheng would take advantage of his niece.

His niece was so cute and lovable! On the other hand, Master Sheng was a sly and evil wolf!

“Yiling, we are just concerned about you,” Wen Ruo continued. “Does your family know about this? Think about it. If they knew about this, they would be incredibly worried, no?”

Jian Yiling did not want to speak to Wen Cheng and Wen Ruo any further. Instead, she took out her phone and video called Zhai Yunsheng.

“Hmm?”

Zhai Yunsheng’s deep and magnetic voice could be heard from the phone.

This was the first time that Jian Yiling video called him.

Currently, Zhai Yunsheng was in his office. His background was simple and minimalistic.

“They’re telling me that you’re not a good person. You explain the situation to them,” Jian Yiling said. Then, she placed her phone in front of Wen Cheng and Wen Ruo.

“…”

What was Jian Yiling doing?

How could she do something like this? Huh???

Zhai Yunsheng held back his laughter. Then, he said: “I’m a good person. Are you willing to accept this statement? If not, it’s okay as well. I won’t force you to agree.”

Wen Cheng and Wen Ruo were thinking different things when they saw Zhai Yunsheng’s handsome and evil face through the video call. However, the expressions on their faces were similar.

Both of them were incredibly embarrassed.

Jian Yiling was quite frank with her words. She made them confront Zhai Yunsheng. This was incredibly embarrassing.

When faced with Zhai Yunsheng, Wen Cheng and Wen Ruo were unable to say a word.

They did not dare to repeat their previous words.

If it was someone else, these words could still be spoken. However, this was Zhai Yunsheng. He was the Young Master of the Zhai family!

Zhai Yunsheng smiled before he said: “Well, it seems as though you harbor quite some discontent towards me. Do you need me to come over to explain the situation to you?”

“No need,” Wen Ruo replied. She had been silent for a long time. “Master Sheng, we are Jian Yiling’s family members. We have the right to care about who she hangs out with. We don’t have any problems with you. However, Yiling is still young. She just started attending university.”

“Who do you think you are[1]?” Zhai Yunsheng sneered.

“Master Sheng…” Wen Ruo stammered before she froze. Her face turned deathly white.

She had been well educated ever since she was a child. No one would ask her “who do you think you are?” in such a blunt and rude manner.
