Chapter 890: Family (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Young Master Wen Yan, there’s a package here for you. The person who sent it was Young Master Jian Yunmo. It was sent from Hengyuan City a few days ago.”

Jian Yunmo asked the housekeeper of the Old Jian Residence to help him send this package.

Initially, Wen Yan did not plan to open the door. However, when he heard the words of the servant, he slowly moved towards the door.

By the time he reached the door, the servant had already left. The package was left on the floor at the entrance of his room.

Wen Yan slowly bent down and picked the package up from the ground.

When he returned to his room, Wen Yan unwrapped the package.

It was a small notebook inside the package.

The notebook had a pink cartoon cover and seemed very girlish.

In his recollection, he only knew one person who would use such a thing.

Jian Yiling.

When she was young, Jian Yiling loved this color and pattern.

Wen Yan slowly began to flip through the notebook.

The notebook was filled with a child’s scribbles and wonky handwriting.

It was Jian Yiling’s writing.

He flicked the pages, one by one.

Then, he paused on a page:

Brother Wen Yan still refuses to come out of his room. He must be very sad right?

If I lost the ability to walk, I would be sad as well. I wouldn’t be able to even eat!

I followed Sister Wen Ruo’s advice, but he still didn’t leave his room.

Sister Wen Ruo told me to persist. She said that one day was not enough.

That’s right. I must persist!

But it’s really difficult to think of mean things to say. My brain hurts already.

Wen Yan’s expression went from surprise to bitterness.

As he flipped through the notebook, unknowingly, his face became streaked with tears.

What a silly yet persistent dummy.

After leaving the Wen Residence, Jian Yunmo immediately headed to the Jian family’s Beijing Residence.

Feng Wei couldn’t help but comment: “Wow, you’re such a busy person. You don’t even take a moment to rest.”

“If you’re busy, you can go back first. However, leave the driver behind.”

“Hey, can you please have some conscience? I put off my work to accompany you!”

“You just want me to reveal what Yiling has been up to recently right?”

“Cough cough… That is the main reason… However, our friendship also plays a small part…”

If he followed Jian Yiling around, he could earn easy money!

However, Jian Yiling always abandoned him.

“I don’t interfere with Yiling’s business. She deals with these matters herself.”

“But she always listens to you.”

“The opposite is true.”

“Oh right. It’s you who always listens to her.”

Very soon, Jian Yunmo reached the Jian Residence in Beijing. As Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian did not know he was coming, they were very surprised to see him.

“Yunmo, why are you here? Why didn’t you tell us about this in advance?” Grandma Jian exclaimed with surprise.

“I’m only coming back for one day. I’m leaving tomorrow,” Jian Yunmo explained.

“What? So soon? It’s rare for everyone to be here. Can’t you stay for one more day?” Grandma Jian said. She was a bit sad.

Each and every one of them were?white-eyed wolves¹. They never returned back home! They didn’t appreciate her!

“Grandma,” Jian Yunmo smiled as he attempted to coax her. “I’m in the middle of my experiment. I can’t leave for a long period of time. Once I’m done with this experiment, I will take a break okay? I will come back and accompany you.”

“I will remember this! If you don’t end up coming back, I will bring Yiling to live with me in the mountains! You won’t be able to see her again!”

“Grandma, are you only taking Yiling? What about Grandpa? Grandpa will cry!”

“Excuse me? Why would I ever cry?” Grandpa Jian immediately retorted: “That old woman can go wherever she wants! I will be at peace if she leaves me alone! However, even if she leaves, Yiling must stay with me!”
