From Sidekick to Bigshot

pression was worried.

He didn’t want his daughter to get too close to a man who was full of danger.

Not to mention that his daughter was still so young.

Jian Yiling took a look at Jian Shuxing before she said: “He’s a friend.”

Jian Shuxing frowned.
However, he could not bear to contradict his daughter, “Ahh, okay.
I won’t object to it then.”

Jian Shuxing knew that he couldn’t be hasty and impatient right now.
His daughter no longer trusted him.
If pushed her too hard to listen to him at this time, he would only push her further away from him.

He Yan walked over at this time.

She smiled at Jian Yiling before she said: “What did Young Master Qin give you? He only gave you a gift today! Out of everyone, you were the only one who received a gift! It shows that you have a very special place in his heart!”

Before Jian Yiling had the chance to respond, Wen Nuan replied to He Yan instead: “Young Master Qin used to be Jian Yiling’s tutor.
The two of them interacted every so often.
They’ve known each other for a while.
And thus, it’s not strange for him to give her a gift.
Please don’t think too much of it.”

Wen Nuan’s voice was soft.
However, her words immediately stopped He Yan’s questions.

“Sister-in-law, I’m just asking about it.
I don’t mean anything else,” He Yan replied.

“I know you’re just asking.
However, we’re still outside.
Some of these questions may lead to unnecessary problems.
Why don’t we wait until we get home to talk about these matters?”

He Yan smiled: “Sister-in-law, you’re honestly thinking too much.
I never said anything.
Our Yiling is still young.
Who would ever think in such a direction?”

“It’s best if you don’t.”

He Yan had a smile on her face.
However, her heart was stone cold.

Why are you pretending? One moment, your daughter is dancing with Master Sheng.
And the next, she’s receiving gifts from Young Master Qin.

The little girl was clever.

And you’re saying that she’s still young?

That’s just a disguise to hide her true colors!

In the past, she had really underestimated this little girl!
