Chapter 67: Eldest Brother has Suspicions

After finishing dinner, Jian Yuncheng said that he wanted to drink coffee. He asked Aunt An to make it and bring it to his study.

Unlike Aunt Mo, Aunt An had been with the Jian family for much longer.

Aunt An had taken care of Wen Nuan when she was younger. She had been with the Wen family since that time.

Later, when Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing had gotten married, Wen Nuan had brought Aunt An over.

In the beginning, Aunt An was the only permanent servant at the Jian Residence. However, later, as Aunt An grew older, her physical strength had deteriorated. Due to this reason, Wen Nuan had hired another housekeeper to share the workload.

This way, Aunt An only had to care about cooking. All the other tasks such as cleaning were left to Aunt Mo.

To this age, Aunt An was still not married. As a result, she treated Wen Nuan and her children as her own family.

Because she watched the four children in the Jian family grow up, Jian Yuncheng trusted her quite a lot.

After Aunt An arrived at his study, Jian Yuncheng asked, “Aunt An, what type of person is Aunt Mo?”

Aunt Mo had arrived at the Jian Residence after Jian Yuncheng had graduated. As a result, he wasn’t at home for much of that time.

“This… ” Aunt An stuttered. It was difficult for her to say.

“Aunt An, I trust you. You’re like our family. Just tell me anything you have on your mind.”

“There’s nothing special. She’s quite diligent, hardworking, and efficient. However, I feel like sometimes the things that she says…”

“Things that she says?”

Aunt An didn’t know how to describe the situation. Thus, she told Jian Yuncheng what she had heard two days ago, “Two days ago, I was passing by young master Yunnao’s study room to see if there was anything that he needed. Coincidentally, Aunt Mo was there to bring him his meal. I had heard Aunt Mo tell him that there wasn’t much hope for his hands. He could consider other things with his life. She also told him that Madam was suffering quite a bit and constantly talking about Yiling.”

Aunt An couldn’t say that what Aunt Mo had said was wrong as what she said were facts.

However, Aunt An felt that these things shouldn’t be said in front of a child that had been recently traumatized.

Aunt An wasn’t someone who liked instigated drama. If there wasn’t any definite evidence, she wouldn’t say anything. However, young master Yuncheng had asked her today, so she had told him her concerns.

After hearing what Aunt An said, Jian Yuncheng’s expression darkened. His eyes became cold.

After a moment of silence, Jian Yuncheng’s gaze fell on the sweater and scarf that Jian Yiling gave him.

He suddenly got up and grabbed the car key on the desk before storming out.

Aunt An was quite puzzled. Didn’t young master Yuncheng say that he had a video conference tonight?

Jian Yuncheng picked up the car from the garage and drove directly to the Old Jian Residence.

It was already eight o’clock when he arrived. Grandma and Grandpa Jian were currently watching the evening news.

Jian Yuncheng’s sudden visit made both of them quite surprised.

“Youngster, why’d you come over at this time?” Grandpa Jian asked. He could tell from his grandson’s expression that something had happened.

Grandma Jian smiled before saying, “If I were to take a guess, you’re here to find our darling!”

After all, he had just received Yiling’s gift.

Jian Yuncheng nodded and asked, “Where is Yiling?”

“She’s in her study room doing her homework,” Grandma Jian answered. She took another look at him before warning, “Don’t you dare be scary to her! I know that you’re scary because you want her to restrain her temper. However, if you’re still scary, she’s not going to accept you as a brother anymore!”

“I understand,” Jian Yuncheng replied. This time, his intent wasn’t to scare Jian Yiling.

Jian Yuncheng knocked on the door of Jian Yiling’s study room. He entered the room after hearing her sweet voice say, “Please come in.”
