From Sidekick to Bigshot

As she said this, Cai Qinyue suddenly trailed off.

None of them had seen Master Zhai. As a result, none of them knew what Master Zhai looked like.

“That’s not possible…” Wen Ruo started. “The Zhai family is such a powerful family… How could they possibly…”

“Yeah, it’s rather surprising. However, the news has already been spread. No one would make up news about the Zhai family. Therefore, this news can only be true.”

Zhu Zimo’s information came from a reliable source.

If this news was fake, the Zhai family would have dealt with it a long time ago.

They would not allow this news to be spread in Beijing’s circles.

The expressions on Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo’s faces were stiff.

Was Jian Yiling actually getting engaged to Zhai Yunsheng?

Was she actually becoming Master Sheng’s future wife?

There were no females in the Zhai family. Therefore, if Jian Yiling married into the Zhai family, she would definitely become the matriarch of the Zhai family.

For a girl from a small and unknown family in Hengyuan City to become the matriarch of the Zhai family…

Was the sparrow going to become a phoenix..?

This…

Wen Ruo and Cai Qinyue’s expressions were unanimously ugly.

Upon seeing the expressions of Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo, Zhu Zimo knew that Wen Ruo had not intentionally hidden this news from him. Instead, she did not know about this.

However, this was good news for Zhu Zimo.

After all, Wen Ruo was Jian Yiling’s cousin. If he was dating Wen Ruo and later, he got married to Wen Ruo, this meant that he would be brothers-in-law with Zhai Yunsheng.

This relationship would bring him infinitely closer to the Zhai family.

As he thought about this, Zhu Zimo’s gaze towards Wen Ruo became even more gentle.

Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo finally came back to their senses.

As Zhu Zimo was in front of them, the two of them couldn’t say much.

However, once Zhu Zimo left, Cai Qinyue threw a cup at the ground in anger.

After Wen Cheng woke up, he heard that his niece was the one who saved him. Upon hearing this, he was incredibly moved.

When Jian Yiling came to visit him, he held Jian Yiling’s hand before he began to sob:

“Yiling, you saved my life. I don’t even know what to say,” Wen Cheng started. A thousand words would be too little to express the gratitude in his heart.

“It’s okay. You treat me well,” Jian Yiling responded seriously.

“No no, that’s not true,” Wen Cheng lamented.

Other than sending gifts during holidays, Wen Cheng did not do much for the Jian family.

The main reason for this was because he was very busy with his business. Furthermore, the two families were geographically separate. As a result, they did not have an opportunity to meet up much.

Furthermore, the money he sent was actually what he owed his sister back then.

Therefore, he wasn’t really treating his niece and nephews well.

“You treat us very well,” Jian Yiling emphasized.

Upon hearing this, Wen Cheng’s eyes began to hurt.

As he looked at his niece, a warm feeling wandered into his heart.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s engagement party was set for the twenty-third of this month.

According to Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s wishes, they only planned to invite people that were close to them. They did not want to make a big deal out of their engagement.

If they hadn’t requested this, Master Zhai would have probably planned a three-day banquet.

Jian Yubo arrived in Beijing the night before.

Jian Yiling was the one who sent him an invitation.

However, Jian Yubo did not know whether or not he should come. After all, he was a person who lived in the shadows. He didn’t know whether he could approach that sole source of light in his life.

However, in the end, he ended up coming. That was because deep down in his heart, he still yearned for that light.

Even if he knew that he didn’t deserve that light.
