From Sidekick to Bigshot

Perhaps, he himself did not realize his feelings for Jian Yiling. Or perhaps, he was just hiding his feelings as reality no longer allowed him to express such feelings.

“I’m alright,” Qin Chuan replied. “Please take some time to recover. I will give you a share of the equity and assets left by our father. Don’t worry about that.”

Qin Hongzhi’s death had been quite sudden. As a result, the family property had all been given to Qin Chuan in accordance with Qin Hongzhi’s most recent will.

“I don’t want those things. Since our father left them to you, it’s now up to you how to manage the company,” Qin Yufan said. After all, she accepted Qin Chuan as her brother. Therefore, she was willing to trust him.

“I will still give you the share that you deserve,” Qin Chuan insisted.

After he said this, Qin Chuan got up. “Take some time to recover. I will go and take care of some matters.”

Then, Qin Chuan left the ward.

After he left, Qin Yufan began to frown.

The look on Qin Chuan’s face made her quite worried.

If Jian Yiling did not have romantic feelings for Zhai Yunsheng, she would definitely encourage her brother to bravely pursue her.

However, according to her observation, although Jian Yiling was a little slow when it came to these things, she still had romantic feelings for Zhai Yunsheng.

In the early morning, the news that the Goodman family had caused the death of Qin Hongzhi and orchestrated the subsequent conflict between the Qin family and the Zhai family hit the headlines.

However, the news only remained on the Internet for half an hour. Then, it was taken down.

It was obvious that the Goodman family did not want such news articles to appear. After all, it would tarnish their family’s reputation.

Hence, the news was only seen by internet users who surfed the web in the early hours of the morning.

At this time, Jian Yubo was still awake. He only closed his laptop after reading this news.

“Boss, Miss Yiling’s name has been cleared. Tonight, you can finally get a good night’s sleep.”

Jian Yubo’s assistant knew that although Jian Yubo did not say anything, he had been incredibly worried about Jian Yiling in the past few days.

Due to this reason, Jian Yubo’s assistant had purchased sleeping incense and placed it into Jian Yubo’s room.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yubo replied. Then, he took out a delicately wrapped box and handed it to his assistant: “Hand this to her,”

It was a delicate pink box.

As Jian Yubo merely said ‘her’, his assistant was unsure of who Jian Yubo meant.

“Is this a gift for Miss Yiling?”

“Mhmm.”

“Boss, if Miss Yiling knows that you care about her so much, she will definitely be very happy!”

The next morning, Jian Yiling planned to visit Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan’s mother.

Before she left for the hospital, Jian Yiling went to knock on Jian Yichen’s door. She asked him to go with her.

“It’s best for me to not go,” Jian Yichen said.

“Okay,” Jian Yiling said as she turned around to leave.

However, Jian Yichen hurriedly pulled her back: “You’re leaving? Just like that? Shouldn’t you persuade me a bit more?”

Upon hearing this, confusion appeared on Jian Yiling’s face.

“You should persuade me! I might change my mind if you persuade me!”

“Persuading you,” Jian Yiling said.

When he heard this, Jian Yichen wailed: “Yiling, that’s not how you persuade someone!”

“Bonk——”

Jian Yiheng who walked out of his room hit his brother’s head.

“Brother, why are you hitting me?” Jian Yichen cried out as he covered his head.

“Are you going or not? If you don’t go, I will beat you up,” Jian Yiheng said.

“I’m going! I will go right now!” Jian Yichen hurriedly said.

Then, Jian Yiheng turned to Jian Yiling: “This way of persuasion is simple, direct, and effective.”

Jian Yiling nodded her head and made a mental note of it.
