“Okay,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t like people surrounding her either.
And thus, before everyone else could react, the two siblings rushed out of the venue.
“Yiling! Yunmo!”
Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were too late to call out to the two of them. They watched as the pair of siblings ran away.
“Ahhh, these two kids! Why are they still like this!”
Wen Nuan didn’t know whether to be angry or happy.
Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling’s relationship was still the same as before.
That meant that their daughter hadn’t left them yet.
Jian Yunmo and Jian Yiling kept running for a few hundred meters before they stopped.
The two siblings were not good at sports. After running for a while, they were both a bit out of breath.
Jian Yiling’s face was flushed. Jian Yunmo laughed before he said: “Since we’ve ran away already, let’s have some fun today.”
This was the kind of situation that would have gotten him scolded in the past.
However, although he had been scolded, he had still done it many times.
At that time, Jian Yiling was still young. Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan did not allow Jian Yiling to go to crowded places. They didn’t want her to go to food alleys, amusement parks, and street vendors.
However, Jian Yiling was curious and liked going outside.
And thus, she started to pester her second brother.
Jian Yunmo could never resist his little sister’s cute and tearful attacks. And thus, he would take her anywhere that she wanted to go.
Whenever they returned, he was always the one who got scolded by their parents. He would take all the responsibility and say that he was the one who dragged her outside.
And the result was a lot of scolding from their mother. Sometimes his mother would even cry!
When this happened, he didn’t know what to do. Why did his sister and his mother both like crying so much?
“Let’s go to the food alley to eat sugar paintings,” Jian Yiling replied.
Somehow, she still had a lot of old memories.
“I wonder if the old lady who sold sugar paintings is still there.”
The old lady sold sugar paintings for five dollars apiece. However, the piece that you got depended on what you drew out from the lucky draw.
Once, Jian Yiling pulled out the lowest probability card! The old lady spent a lot of time creating a double dragon sugar painting for them.
When Jian Yiling finally got the piece of oversized candy, she was overjoyed!
And thus, Jian Yunmo took Jian Yiling to the places that they used to go to secretly. They spent the entire day there.
By the time they returned to the Old Jian Residence, Jian Yunmo was, not surprisingly, lectured by Grandma Jian.
However, Grandma Jian swallowed the rest of her words after she took a look at Jian Yiling.
Ahh, forget it!

When He Yan returned home, the smile on her face disappeared in a flash. It was immediately replaced with anger and irritation.
Jian Yunmo! The expert that had been praised to the skies and beyond was Jian Yunmo! He was Wen Nuan’s son!!!
How did he even manage to do that whilst he did research?!
The mystery behind Master Liang’s affection towards Jian Yiling had finally been solved. However, it was not the answer that He Yan had hoped for.
Initially, she assumed that the only person that she needed to be wary of was Jian Yuncheng.
However, she didn’t expect Jian Yunmo to be an annoying opponent as well.
He Yan thought about it for a while before she decided to call Jian Yubo.
During the phone call, she told him what had happened today.
After a long talk, Jian Yubo replied indifferently with an: “Okay.”
“Yubo, this is not a trivial matter! If Jian Yunmo has such a backing, then things might turn out to be very bad for us!” The more He Yan thought about it, the more she felt that it was a problem.
“He won’t be able to affect our plans. We will still get the Jian family’s assets,” Jian Yubo replied in a calm tone.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
After getting her answer, He Yan finally calmed down. She had seen Jian Yubo’s ability and efficiency over the past few days. She knew that his words were very credible.
