From Sidekick to Bigshot

Master Zhai was ready to meet Jian Yiling’s parents and grandparents.

As Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian were currently living in Wen Cheng’s house, Master Zhai decided to visit the Wen family.

However, Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue did not recognize Master Zhai.

Before today, they did not even have the opportunity to see Master Zhai.

On the other hand, before coming, Master Zhai had already inquired into the situation. He knew that Jian Yiling was related to the Wen family. Wen Cheng was Jian Yiling’s uncle.

And thus, when he visited, Master Zhai was very polite.

In fact, he was so polite that no one would have ever guessed who he was.

Furthermore, he did not dare to bring a lot of people with him. As a result, he only brought one subordinate.

He did not want to put too much pressure on the Jian family.

“Hello, what can I do for you?”

In front of the black iron gate at the entrance of the Wen family villa, someone stopped Master Zhai and asked him why he was visiting.

“Tell your master that I’m here to pay my respects to Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian.”

Even though he was talking to the subordinates of the Wen family, Master Zhai still replied. He did not ask his men to communicate for him.

He was here to pay his respects.

These words had not appeared in Master Zhai’s vocabulary for many years.

Everyone paid their respects to Master Zhai. It was never the other way around.

Upon hearing the reason, the people at the gates relaxed.

In Beijing, the Jian family was not considered to be prestigious and powerful. They were only slightly richer than an average family in Hengyuan City.

And thus, the Jian family’s status in Beijing was far worse than the Wen family’s.

As this old gentleman appeared to be visiting the Jian family, they assumed that he was not someone of any distinguished status.

“Wait for a moment. I will go and inform them.”

Although the subordinates of the Wen family did not know who the person in front of them was, they still did things by the book.

In the living room of the Wen family villa, Grandpa Jian, Grandma Jian, Wen Cheng, and Cai Qinyue were currently chatting.

A servant came in to inform them that someone was visiting.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian were rather puzzled. Who would visit them?

The Wen family members in the living room assumed that someone was visiting Grandma Jian. This was due to the fact that Grandma Jian was still recovering from her stroke.

And thus, the Wen family invited Master Zhai to come in.

As Master Zhai walked in, there was a smile on his face. He appeared to look very kind and friendly.

The smile on his face came out from the bottom of his heart. His smile could not be hidden.

However, as soon as Grandpa Jian and Grandma Jian saw Master Zhai, their expressions immediately changed.

Master Zhai had already visited Grandma Jian at the hospital. Therefore, they knew who he was.

Why was he here today?

Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian immediately stood up.

In fact, Grandpa Jian got up to greet him. He expressed his respect for Master Zhai.

“No no. Please sit. Just sit down,” Master Zhai said with a smile.

“What brings you here today?” Grandpa Jian asked.

“I have something that I want to discuss,” Master Zhai replied. His tone was very polite.

There were very few people in Beijing that could make him speak in such a polite tone.

In fact, he could probably count them on one hand.

“Umm…” Grandpa Jian started as he glanced at the other people seated in the living room. He was considering whether he should find a separate place to talk to Master Zhai.

As Master Zhai read Grandpa Jian’s thoughts, he said directly: “There’s no need to go somewhere else. Uncle Wen can stay here.”

Uncle Wen?

What? Wasn’t it a bit strange to call him that?

Only people from the Jian family would call Wen Cheng in such a way.

And thus, wasn’t it a bit strange for this old gentleman to call him Uncle Wen?
