From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Then… Did I actually talk with Master Zhai yesterday?” Wen Cheng said. He was incredibly confused.

Jian Yiling nodded her head again.

Upon seeing this, Wen Cheng was shocked.

Never in his wildest dreams would he have ever imagined Master Zhai to come to his house. In fact, they even had a conversation on equal footing! He even called him “Uncle Wen”!

Wen Cheng took quite a while to digest this matter.

After a long time, Wen Cheng confirmed the situation with his niece again: “So… Are you sure that you want to be with Master Sheng?”

Jian Yiling nodded her head again.

When Wen Cheng saw the firm and resolute expression on his niece’s face, he knew that he was out of options.

“Yiling, if you ever feel wronged, please remember to tell me. I’m not incredibly capable. However, if someone bullies you, I will fight them to my death!”

“Okay.”

After Wen Cheng left the dessert shop, he went home to talk to Cai Qinyue. He wanted to pick out a gift for Jian Yiling’s engagement party.

Wen Cheng mentioned that he wanted to give [Ten Thousands Miles of Mountains and River] to Jian Yiling as her engagement gift. This gift was a very precious jade artifact.

Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue widened her eyes in disbelief.

This jade artifact was worth a fortune!

It was one of the most precious pieces among their many collections!

And Wen Cheng wanted to give this artifact to Jian Yiling as an engagement gift?!

“Wen Cheng! What the hell do you want! [Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers] is what I intend to leave for Wen Ruo! And now, you’re planning to give that to Jian Yiling? Who exactly is your daughter? Jian Yiling or Wen Ruo?”

“What are you even talking about? Wen Ruo is definitely my daughter. I love her the most.”

“Am I really talking nonsense? The gift you gave Yiling for her birthday was even more expensive than the gift you gave Wen Ruo for her 18th! Furthermore, you took the initiative to invite Yiling to go to Cai Ningxuan. However, you never planned to invite Wen Ruo and me to go! You only took us there because I asked you to!”

“What do you mean? Do you not know the reason for the gift? If it weren’t for Wen Nuan, the Wen family wouldn’t even be here! Wen Nuan saved all of us. And thus, there’s nothing wrong with me giving her a bit more than usual!”

Back then, Wen Nuan was not yet married. The Wen family faced an event that jeopardized their entire family.

Because of some business conflicts, Wen Cheng managed to offend a big shot in the industry.

And thus, the Wen family was in danger of the big shot’s retaliation.

At that time, Wen Nuan came forward to negotiate a deal with the big shot. In the end, she successfully negotiated a very important deal for the big shot.

Wen Nuan had always been weak and soft. Ever since young, she liked to cry.

However, this time, she acted in a way that the whole family did not expect.

No one expected her to stand up for their family in the midst of this crisis.

However, she managed to save them.

Wen Nuan saved the reputation and business of the Wen family. In fact, she saved their entire family.

And thus, Wen Cheng remembered his sister’s kindness. He wanted to repay this favor in any way possible.

In his eyes, without his sister’s help at that time, the Wen family business would not exist. All these so-called antiques would not be his in the first place.

And thus, it was reasonable for him to give these antiques to Jian Yiling.

Cai Qinyue knew about this matter. Wen Cheng had mentioned it more than once to her.

“Wen Nuan is from the Wen family! Isn’t it natural for her to help her own family? Furthermore, our mother gave her a huge dowry when she got married! So why are you treating it in some other way? She didn’t do that favor just for you!”

Cai Qinyue had already been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time.
