From Sidekick to Bigshot

So far, she knew that her granddaughter was a genius when it came to performing surgery. However, she did not hear much about her granddaughter’s expertise in medical research.

The smile on Chen Lu’s face did not diminish as she said: “It’s okay. I believe in Miss Jian Yiling’s learning abilities. I believe that as long as she’s willing to learn, she can also perform well in this area.”

Chen Lu’s words made the smile on Wen Ruo’s face stiffen.

She tried to make herself not care about Chen Lu’s words. However, she could not stop the jealousy inside her from spreading wildly.

Jian Yiling was someone who had nothing to do with the fashion industry. Why did Sofia take a fancy to her?

They even wanted her to become the manager of their research and development department!

Yet she… She failed to even pass Sofia’s interview.

This discrepancy made Wen Ruo’s mood worse.

There was a bitter taste in her mouth. Her oral cavity and abdomen were filled with bitterness.

When Grandma Wen heard Chen Lu’s comments, she could not say anything else. After all, Chen Lu had absolute faith in Jian Yiling’s abilities.

“Since you believe in Yiling’s abilities, then I will trust your way of looking at things. In addition, I also believe my granddaughter is talented as well. I can help with the introduction. However, I am unable to help with anything after that. Whether or not she’s willing is her own choice. It’s up to her to decide. As her grandma, I can’t make decisions for her.”

Grandma Wen stated everything in advance. She was only helping with the introduction.

“I understand. I’m already really happy that you can help me with the introduction. Naturally, I will handle the rest myself. I will try to impress Miss Jian Yiling with my sincerity,” Chen Lu said with a smile.

Then, Chen Lu and Grandma Wen began to idly chat again. However, now, their topic of conversation was all about Jian Yiling.

They kept talking about how excellent and talented Jian Yiling was.

Grandma Wen was incredibly happy when she heard others praise her granddaughter.

The two of them happily chatted away.

On the other hand, Wen Ruo felt as though each sentence that they said was a thorn in her heart.

After chatting for a while, they finally agreed that when the Jian family came over to the Wen Residence on the weekend for dinner, Chen Lu would also come over. There, Grandma Wen would introduce her to Jian Yiling.

After Chen Lu left, Wen Ruo asked Grandma Wen: “Grandma, in your eyes, who is better? Me or Jian Yiling?”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Wen froze for a moment. Then, she said: “Silly girl. Why are you asking such a question? I love both of you dearly.”

In terms of closeness, she was definitely closer to Wen Ruo. After all, she spent much more time with her.

However, she loved Jian Yiling as well. Jian Yiling’s appearance was super lovable and soft. She was even cuter than her mother.

Then, Wen Ruo said in a crying voice: “Then, why do you all like her more than me? Even when I was young, everyone preferred to play with her and not with me.”

The jealousy brought out all of Wen Ruo’s dissatisfaction over the years.

Grandma Wen was shocked. She looked into her granddaughter’s eyes and asked: “Wen Ruo, how could you have such thoughts?”

In Grandma Wen’s eyes, Wen Ruo had always been a well-behaved and understanding child.

On the other hand, Jian Yiling caused much more trouble. Wen Ruo was essentially a prime example of what a good child looked like.

However recently, her numerous mistakes made everyone super worried about her.
