Chapter 99: Conversation between Grandpa Jian and Jian Shuxing
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Whilst everyone was busy preparing for the barbeque, Jian Shuxing went to the orchid greenhouse to see Grandpa Jian.
“What’s the matter?”
As soon as Grandpa Jian saw his son furrowing his brows, he knew that sothing was up.
“Dad, I want to ask you a favor.”
“We’re family. Don’t say it’s a favor. If sothing is up, just tell . Although I’m retired, I still care about family affairs.”
“It’s like this... We found soone to do Yunnao’s operation. However, the other party wants us to wait. We’re worried that it’s just an excuse...”
The day before yesterday, they had received a reply from the other party.
The other party didn’t refuse nor agree to do the operation. They just requested that they’d wait.
Wait until when?
The sooner Yunnao got the surgery done, the greater the likelihood his hand would recover.
Grandpa Jian nodded, “I understand. I’ll ask my friend for help.”
Grandpa Jian was also quite concerned with this matter.
This matter affected the family.
“Thank you so much, Dad!”
“You don’t need to thank for these things. Also, I heard that you recently sent soone to investigate so matters in the neighboring provinces? What are you investigating?”
Although Grandpa Jian had retired, not many things could hide from his eyes.
“Um, so certain things.”
“Is it serious?”
Jian Shuxing ended up telling Grandpa Jian the matters that his son had told him a few days ago.
“Are you saying that Yuncheng suspects that a servant in your house caused the incident between Yiling and Yunnao?”
“Yeah. It’s only a suspicion. As of now, we haven’t found any definitive evidence.”
The surveillance only showed that Aunt Mo had been peeking at the direction of the stairs when the incident had happened.
However, Aunt Mo could easily make up a reason for why she was there. She could say that she had to talk to Jian Yiling or Jian Yunnao about sothing. As she had seen them quarrel, she didn’t dare to stop them.
In fact, they couldn’t get many conclusions out of the surveillance.
Grandpa Jian replied with a serious expression on his face, “Shuxing, you must rember that Yunnao said that Yiling had pushed him.”
The key to the problem was with Jian Yunnao. Jian Yunnao had claid that Jian Yiling had pushed him. The focus wasn’t on Aunt Mo.
“I know,” Jian Shuxing replied. His brows were still furrowed. “Neither of us know whether investigating this matter will be of use. However, as there is a possibility, we don’t want to ignore it. Even if it’s the smallest of possibilities.”
“That’s good. Investigate the matter thoroughly. Even if it doesn’t help out with the incident between Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao, it is important to know the background of people who are close to you. If soone harbors ill intentions, you should get rid of them. Don’t be soft on people who can hurt your family.”
Although Grandpa Jian watered flowers and fed birds for most of his ti, when it ca down to the wire, he knew how to make soone wish that they were dead.
Jian Shuxing suddenly asked, “By the way, why is Zhai Yunsheng with Yiling?”
Everyone knew that Yu Xi was a good child. There was no problem in Yiling hanging out with him.
However, Zhai Yunsheng was a different case. Jian Shuxing couldn’t help but worry.
He was afraid that Yiling would learn bad things from him. At the sa ti, he was worried that Master Sheng had ulterior motives.
“I’ve talked to him before. Although his personality is a bit strange, he is not as bad as the rumors say. Yiling hangs out with Yu Xi quite a bit. As a result, she’s in touch with Master Sheng as well. It’s fine. Yu Xi is a good child.”
If anything happened to Jian Yiling, Yu Xi would have quite a bit of explaining to do.
