It was difficult to blame Master Zhai for having such thoughts. Although Zhai Yunsheng appeared to look quite healthy, he was actually quite ill. If he wasn’t careful, he would die easily.
He was the only child of the Zhai family. If he were to die, then there would be no one to carry on the legacy of the Zhai family.
However, other than women, Master Sheng played with everything else.
When it came to this aspect, he was as pure as a piece of white paper.
When it came to age, Master Sheng was not old enough to be urged to marry.
It was normal for him to not date. Yu Xi himself hadn’t yet dated.
However, Master Sheng’s situation was special.
While he was in the capital, the Zhai family had tried to remend some girls to Master Sheng. They tried various ways to get Master Sheng interested in these matters.
However, Master Sheng remained indifferent.
Master Zhai had even said, as long as Master Sheng was interested in the girl, it didn’t matter what background she was from. Everything was fine as long as she had a good family and upheld herself to good moral conduct.
“You manage it.” Zhai Yunsheng replied as he gave Yu Xi a look.
Yu Xi had an exasperated look on his face. He knew that phrase was not for him to manage the girl but rather, was asking him to manage Master Zhai.
“Master Sheng, I feel that I will die in your grandpa’s hands sooner or later.” He couldn’t lie to Zhai Yunsheng. Thus, he could only help Zhai Yunsheng in fooling his grandpa in Beijing.

Jian Yiling was in her study room at night. Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng came to find her at the same time.
When Jian Yiling saw both of them appear at the same time, she knew something was up.
“Yiling, Father has something to discuss with you.” Jian Shuxing’s brows furrowed a lot. He didn’t dare to look directly at Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling nodded. Her expression appeared to be serious and calm.
“Your… Your brother… Is ing out of hospital…” Jian Shuxing stammered out. Although his actions in the work environment were swift and decisive, when facing his daughter, his words were scattered.
“Let me say it.” Jian Yuncheng interrupted. “Yunnao is about to be discharged. However, his hand hasn’t bee better. We haven’t found someone to operate on his hand for the time being. The hospital has suggested for us to take him back home to rest first. This hopefully will be better for his mood.”
“However, Yunnao still doesn’t want to meet you for the time being. After discussing this with your father, we decided that we are going to send you to your grandparent’s house temporarily. We’ve already contacted them. After you finish school tomorrow, you will be taken there. Pack anything you need today. Tomorrow, I’ll ask someone to deliver it in advance.”
After Jian Yuncheng stopped talking, he waited for Jian Yiling’s response.
Before ing to notify Jian Yiling, Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng had discussed this for quite some time.
They had expected that Jian Yiling might have some extreme reaction.
Jian Shuxing didn’t dare to look at Jian Yiling directly. Last time when Grandma Jian had proposed for Jian Yiling to live in the old residence, he had declined. However, now, they were sending her to live there for such a reason.
“Okay,” Jian Yiling replied. Her reply was simple and clear.
Then, she turned around to go pack her things.
Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng did not anticipate such a reaction.
They assumed that Jian Yiling would cry and throw a tantrum.
They thought about all the possible outes other than this one. They did not expect her to quietly accept their arrangements.
Their hearts felt as though they got hit by a blunt object as they looked at the quiet and small figure of Jian Yiling.
“Yi… Yiling… If you need anything, tell father… Father…” Jian Shuxing started as he tried to say something to appease Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling shook her head. Her face remained soft and calm.
