From Sidekick to Bigshot

Or perhaps, Zhai Yunsheng saw his own shadow in Jian Yiling’s dying body.

And thus, he had the compassion to deal with Jian Yiling’s funeral arrangements.

At that moment, the first thing that came into Jian Yiling’s mind was her dream. It was the scene where she saw Zhai Yunsheng become a cold corpse.

Then, her hand squeezed her phone.

She knew that she could not let things go according to the plot of the original novel.

She did not want Zhai Yunsheng to be wrongly accused.

And thus, Jian Yiling messaged Qin Chuan’s mother. She hoped to get the opportunity to visit Qin Chuan.

She did not want Zhai Yunsheng to become a suspect. And thus, she had to ask for more details from Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan’s mother did not say an extra word. She immediately agreed.

Furthermore, she also arranged for someone to come and pick up JIan Yiling.

Her chauffeur originally worked for Qin Hongzhi.

Qin Chuan’s mother did not reject Qin Hongzhi’s gift.

After all, he owed her those things.

She looked after their son for twenty years! He needed to pay at least this much for child support!

However, what she wanted to ask for was merely money. She was no longer interested in a romantic relationship with that man.

Jian Yiling arrived at the hospital.

Inside a VIP wardroom, Qin Chuan was currently on an IV. Qin Hongzhi, Qin Chuan’s mother, and Qin Yufan were all in the room.

The room was also guarded by the Qin family’s bodyguards.

As Qin Chuan’s mother had told them about Jian Yiling’s visit beforehand, the bodyguards did not attempt to stop Jian Yiling when she entered.

When they saw Jian Yiling, three out of four people in the room showed a smile.

The only one who frowned was Qin Hongzhi.

“Why are you here?” Qin Chuan asked softly. Happiness was evident in his voice.

“Auntie told me about it,” Jian Yiling replied.

Qin Chuan’s mother explained the reasoning behind her actions: “At first, I did not know how badly you were hurt. Therefore, my first thought was to message Yiling.”

It was evident that Jian Yiling held a special place in Qin Chuan’s mother’s heart.

Then, Qin Chuan said to Jian Yiling: “I’m fine. It’s just some light injuries. Sorry for making you come all this way.”

“Did you catch the culprit?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Yeah, we did. Currently, he’s being interrogated by the police.”

As Qin Chuan finished speaking, someone entered the ward. That person reported the information that they found to the Qin family.

The culprit confessed that he was instructed by the Young Master of the Zhai family. The reasoning for this was because Zhai Yunsheng felt that the recent appearance of Qin Chuan stole his thunder. This made Zhai Yunsheng feel very unhappy.

In the original novel, this scene happened.

Even the words were the same.

However, in the original novel, Jian Yiling and Qin Chuan’s mother were not present in the ward at this moment. In that timeline, Qin Chuan’s mother had already passed away.

Furthermore, in the original novel, when Qin Yufan heard these words, she immediately said that it was impossible.

In fact, she even suspected Qin Chuan asking the culprit to say such things.

However, at the current moment, Qin Yufan’s reaction was rather calm. She did not immediately express her opinion.

The reason for this was because she no longer liked Zhai Yunsheng romantically. Furthermore, it was not her turn to speak as well.

Zhai Yunsheng’s fiancee was there. If someone was going to deny these words, it should be Jian Yiling and not her.

Jian Yiling looked at Qin Chuan before she said softly: “If I said that he didn’t do such a thing, would you believe me?”

“I will believe you,” Qin Chuan replied immediately. He did not hesitate for a single second before giving Jian Yiling a response.

Jian Yiling was rather surprised to hear this. She did not expect Qin Chuan to believe her so easily.

In fact, he didn’t even hesitate for a single second.

“Why?” Jian Yiling asked.

“Intuition, I guess. Furthermore, I don’t understand why he would be jealous of me,” Qin Chuan responded.

For some reason, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
