From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 161: Grandma Jian Reprimands the Family (1)

“I want to eat meat,” Jian Yiling replied.

She was short enough already. If she only ate congee and vegetables, she would have to say goodbye to her hopes of growing taller.

Yu Xi laughed when he heard this, “Okay okay. I’ll arrange for that. You can eat all the different kinds of meat that you want! Beef, mutton, fish, chicken, pork, you name it! I’ll prepare a banquet for you!”

As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, he turned around and met Zhai Yunsheng’s frigid eyes.

Ahh... He forgot. This one can’t eat foods like that.

Jian Yiling also turned her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng, “You eat mushrooms.”

However, Zhai Yunsheng wasn’t angry. Instead, he replied, “I’ll eat whatever you make.”

“Okay, I’ll make food for you when I get better.”

Today, she had caused trouble for them once again.

She could thank them in this way.

“Then you should get well sooner,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. He couldn’t stand looking at Jian Yiling’s skinny appearance. It was almost as though he was looking at a pile of skin and bones.

After Grandma Jian received Yu Xi’s phone call, she intended to rush to the hospital. However, just as she was about to leave, she met three people in front of her house. And that was Jian Shuxing, Jian Yuncheng, and Wen Nuan.

Grandma Jian took one look at their expressions. She immediately knew that something serious had happened.

“What’s the matter?”

“Mother, has Yiling come back yet?” Jian Shuxing asked urgently.

“Are you guys in a hurry to find Yiling?”

“Yeah... We thought that Yiling would have come back to the Old Jian Residence.”

“I know where Yiling is. She’s fine.” Grandma Jian replied.

“Really? Where is she right now?” Jian Shuxing asked in a hurry.

“Let’s talk about what’s going on first.”

Grandma Jian knew that something was up today. She could sense that something was off.

Why would her darling run out of the hospital like that? And why would Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng show up at the Old Jian Residence with a sorrowful and anxious expression on their faces? Both of them were meant to be working at this time.

“Mother... About that incident... We discovered... It wasn’t Yiling’s doing...”

Jian Shuxing stammered out. His voice was bitter and he spoke with quite some difficulty.

“Which incident?”

How would Grandma Jian know about which incident he was talking about if he spoke in such an unclear manner?

At this moment, Grandpa Jian also walked out of the house. When he saw everyone’s expressions, he frowned before saying:

“What’s the matter? Why don’t you come in and sit down first? Let’s talk about it.”

“Father...” Jian Shuxing started.

“It’s better for me to explain the situation,” Jian Yuncheng interrupted. His voice also sounded bitter and sad.

Jian Yuncheng recounted the series of events that happened today to Grandpa and Grandma Jian.

Upon hearing Jian Yuncheng’s words, Grandma Jian mercilessly reprimanded the three of them:

“What did I say? I told you that my darling isn’t a bad girl! None of you believed me!”

“Mother, I know I’m wrong... However, back then, Yiling herself...”

“She said that she was in the wrong! However, she didn’t say that she pushed him!” Grandma Jian stated. She had quite a good memory.

On that day, Jian Yiling had indeed admitted in front of Grandma and Grandpa Jian that ‘she was in the wrong’.

However, none of them had investigated what her words had implied.

“Mother, I know I’m at fault... I...”

Grandma Jian felt incredibly upset. She continued to scold the three of them, “You’re wrong?! And what now? You’re just going to say that you’re wrong? Is that all you have to say? Why don’t you think about the damage that you’ve caused to your child! Think about all the pain that she went through. I think that it’s fair for you guys to look after Yunnao when he is injured. I also think it’s fair for you to discipline Yiling for her temper and attitude. However, what I have an issue with is your doubt and suspicion towards your daughter! Your mistrust has caused her the most pain!”

Grandma Jian was not concerned with the delivery of her words. She was just biased towards Yiling. What could they do about that?
