From Sidekick to Bigshot

“We weren’t able to look into her whereabouts for the past three years.”

“Weren’t able to?”

This was a big problem.

If his men weren’t able to trace her information, then she was definitely not an ordinary person.

“Could it be someone who wants to harm Master Sheng?”

Zhai Yunsheng’s future wife could come from an ordinary family. She could have ordinary looks and even be average in every aspect. In fact, she could even have bad habits.

However, she must not harm Zhai Yunsheng. Whether it was him or his heart.

This was Zhai Yunsheng’s uncle’s only requirement for his niece-in-law.

“Continue to keep an eye on her. However, don’t cause any unpleasantries. In addition, arrange for more people to look into her activities.”

The Second Master of the Zhai family did not want to ruin the relationship between his nephew and his future niece-in-law.

His nephew had finally set his heart on a girl for the first time in twenty-two years.

It was not easy for his nephew to become attached to one thing, let alone one person.

However, he still had to investigate the situation. He had to make sure that no one would harm Zhai Yunsheng.

“I understand. We know what to do.”

Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue both woke up. Once Cai Qinyue woke up, her heart was filled with regret.

Her entire body was wounded. Furthermore, she almost caused her husband to lose his life.

“What did your father say when he woke up?” Cai Qinyue asked her daughter worriedly.

“He asked if you were okay. I told him that you’re not injured as badly as him. He was incredibly relieved when he heard this.”

Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue’s eyes began to turn red. She remembered her argument with her husband in the car. The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.

“I shouldn’t have argued with your father. It’s my fault. I did something wrong.”

“Mother, don’t be too upset. You were just mad at my father for planning to give away [Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers].”

“Yeah, that’s true. If it weren’t for Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling, I…”

Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo did not want to blame Wen Cheng. Instead, all of their hatred was transferred to Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling. In their eyes, the two of them had triggered the Wen family’s conflict.

“Mother, let’s not mention this matter to my father in the future. Just go along with what he wants.”

“I know, I know. I won’t do something like this again,” Cai Qinyue replied as she shed tears of remorse.

Zhu Zimo came over to visit Wen Cheng and Cai Qinyue.

He visited Cai Qinyue’s ward first.

As soon as she saw Zhu Zimo, Cai Qinyue quickly wiped away her tears and revealed a relieved smile on her face.

“Zimo, why are you here? Aren’t you incredibly busy with your matters? However, I’m glad that you took time to visit me.”

“It’s okay. Wen Ruo can’t possibly take care of you and her father. Therefore, it’s good for me to frequently visit to share some of her burdens.”

“That’s really thoughtful,” Cai Qinyue replied. A heartfelt smile emerged on her face.

Zhu Zimo was really a very suitable candidate for her future son-in-law.

Not only was he from a good family background, but he was also well-educated. In addition, he had good character and was incredibly considerate of Wen Ruo.

“Oh, by the way, Wen Ruo, why didn’t you tell me that your cousin is Master Sheng’s future fiancee?”

“What did you say?” Wen Ruo asked as she looked at Zhu Zimo with a shocked expression on her face.

“Oh? You don’t know about it? The news about Master Sheng’s engagement has already been spread across Beijing. He’s getting engaged to your cousin, Jian Yiling.”

Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo were both stunned.

How could this be?

Was Jian Yiling really getting engaged to Zhai Yunsheng?

“That’s impossible… Then that day… That old man that day came to propose marriage for his grandson… Does that mean…”
