From Sidekick to Bigshot

Jian Yuncheng did not speak for a long time. When Huo Yu sensed the atmosphere in front of him, he realized that something was very off.

Therefore, he hurriedly tried to make the situation better: “Yiling, there’s a lot of delicious desserts today. I had some dessert experts and patissiers come over. You should go and try out the desserts that they made!”

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied as she hurriedly pulled Zhai Yunsheng away. It was as though she wanted to get out of the situation.

Jian Yuncheng watched Jian Yiling as she left.

Wen Ruo took the scene in front of her into her eyes as well.

Based on their reactions, it seemed as though the two of them did not have a good sibling relationship.

And thus, she was even more certain of the fact that Jian Yuncheng and Jian Yiling did not get along.

Jian Yunnao watched Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng as well. Initially, he planned to go and speak to them. However, he quickly gave up on his thought.

It would be best for him to not disturb his sister’s good mood.

It had been two years since Jian Yuncheng received a birthday present from his sister. The same was true for Jian Yunnao.

In the past, his sister always gave him small things as gifts.

The gifts weren’t worth a lot however, they were always things that were cherished by his sister.

If she was willing to give such gifts to them, it was essentially proof that she loved them.

Those gifts meant much more than merely expensive gifts.

Jian Yumin originally did not plan to attend the birthday party today. However, when he heard that Jian Yiling was attending, he decided to come as well.

However, it seemed as though he was not in a good mood. When he saw Jian Yiling together with Zhai Yunsheng, in addition to the displeasure that he felt previously, there was also some envy…

As he thought about the woman who refused to be with him, Jian Yumin began to doubt his looks. Did his charm deteriorate that much?

Jian Yichen was already mingling with the beautiful women at the party. His clever tongue coaxed and charmed the girls to the point where everyone that was around him had smiling faces.

He embraced girls left and right. It seemed as though he was having a lot of fun.

Fortunately, Qin Yufan was not here. Otherwise, she’d probably be seething with anger.

In contrast, Jian Yiheng sat by himself in a corner.

Jian Yiheng had a powerful aura. As most of the guests did not know him, no one dared to approach him.

Furthermore, Jian Yiheng was a quiet individual. He enjoyed his peace. Therefore, no one disturbing him was exactly what he wanted.

For some reason, Jian Yujie was crowded by a group of beauties.

His face began to turn red as he did not know what to do.

He could not act like Jian Yichen.

As he had no other option, Jian Yujie dashed over to Jian Yiheng. He took advantage of Jian Yichen’s powerful aura to avoid the women at the birthday party.

“Phew——”

Jian Yujie let out a sigh of relief as he finally got rid of them.

Then, he cautiously looked at his cousin.

He had been afraid of this cousin ever since he was a child.

This was because he was super strong and did not like to smile. He always appeared tough and serious.

“Cousin Yiheng, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing?” Jian Yujie asked cautiously.

“Undecided for now.”

Jian Yiheng originally did not intend to stay for a long time. According to his original plans, he would have returned to the war zone a long time ago.

“Oh.”

Then, Jian Yujie did not know what to say anymore.

Whenever he was with Jian Yiheng, he felt so much pressure…

Halfway through the birthday party, there was a ruckus that happened at the entrance of the party.

The crowd stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the entrance.

Not long after, Wei Qirui appeared next to the pool.

The people present today were all part of the Beijing circles. They knew the entanglement between the Wei family and the Jian family.

And thus, Wei Qirui’s appearance today made everyone feel surprised.

After all, back then, the Wei Group was in a difficult predicament. The Jian family acquired Tongyue Technology because the Wei Group had no other option.
