From Sidekick to Bigshot

“Okay,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He was not going to force them to call Jian Yiling their matriarch.

After all, he didn’t really care whether or not they called her their matriarch.

She was his woman. In the first place, she didn’t need the approval of these people.

In fact, he was only here to abide by the rules of the Zhai family.

The outcome did not really matter to him.

And thus, the meeting ended in a not so harmonious atmosphere.

Out of the six people, the last person who left the room was the chubby old man.

He was the boss of Cai Ningxuan.

“Master Sheng, you’re rather fortunate,” the old man said as he smiled.

“Oh? Didn’t you say just now that you needed to evaluate her?”

“That’s a completely different matter. Back then, I was evaluating her as the future matriarch of the Zhai family. However now, I’m looking at her as your future fiancee. The two matters are very different.”

“Do you have anything good here lately?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

“Master Sheng, are you planning to give something to your fiancee?”

“Do you even need to ask that? Do you think I’m giving it to you or something?”

“Hahahaha, as a matter of fact, I do have something that’s quite suited for Miss Yiling. It’s a jade carving piece.”

After he said this, the old man ordered someone to bring him the jade carving piece.

It was a pair of Hotan jade rabbits.

Zhai Yunsheng laughed when he saw the pair of rabbits.

“I’ll take them.” Then he handed them into Jian Yiling’s arms.

As a result, Jian Yiling ended up with a pair of jade rabbits in her arms.

In the hospital, Wen Ruo was currently accompanying her father Wen Cheng.

Wen Cheng had just been transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward. His situation was improving quite quickly.

Wen Ruo was seated next to the hospital bed. She flicked through the news.

When she saw the news, Wen Ruo began to feel nervous.

“Wen Ruo, are you okay? Do you feel unwell? It must have been hard on you recently. It’s my bad. I should have dealt with the situation better.”

As Wen Cheng looked at his daughter’s pale face, he felt incredibly guilty.

The accident must have been a shock to her.

“It’s okay. Furthermore, my mother was more at fault. However, my mother did this because she loves you. She wants you to love her more as well. Please don’t blame her. I don’t want our family to fall apart,” Wen Ruo said. Her voice was choked with sobs.

“Wen Ruo, please don’t feel bad. I understand the situation. I won’t let our family fall apart. Please don’t worry about it,” Wen Cheng promised his daughter.

“Mhmm!” Wen Ruo said happily as she leaned next to her father.

Wen Cheng let out a long sigh. He loved his daughter.

He only had one child. And thus, how could he not love her?

He had to admit that he did like his niece quite a bit. However, he loved his daughter much more.

He wanted to give [Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers] to his niece as an engagement gift.

However, there were many other valuable antiques that he wanted to leave for his daughter.

Despite this, he had to admit that he dealt with the situation rather poorly. This caused his wife to harbor resentment.

Initially, he thought it was just an ordinary argument. However, the situation ended up like this.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened. Wen Nuan walked in with Jian Yiling.

“A Nuan, Yiling, you’re here as well,” Wen Cheng smiled. He was happy to see his sister and niece.

Upon hearing these words, Wen Ruo did not dare to turn her head to look at Wen Nuan and Jian Yiling.

However, Wen Nuan’s expression was quite different from usual. There was no smile on her face. In fact, she looked incredibly serious.

Wen Nuan questioned: “Who leaked the information that my daughter is Dr. F.S?”
