From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 65: Gift (2)

After Jian Yiling passed the fingerprint recognition, she entered the outermost iron gate and ran into the courtyard.

Once she reached the door of the villa, she placed the paper bag down before immediately returning to the car.

“My darling, what did you leave?” Grandma Jian asked. She could see everything from the car. She could see that Jian Yiling didn’t even enter the house.

“Birthday present.”

After hearing what was said, Grandma Jian pondered for a moment. After a moment, she remembered that it was Jian Yuncheng’s birthday tomorrow.

With so many events happening recently, Shuxing and Wen Nuan probably had forgotten about Yuncheng’s birthday.

Grandma Jian was quite surprised that Yiling had remembered the date.

“Why did you consider giving your eldest brother a birthday gift?” Grandma Jian asked whilst smiling. Her gaze was soft and gentle.

Grandma Jian’s heart felt warm and comforted. Her darling took the initiative to give a present. That meant that she didn’t feel too upset.

“She said I should give a gift.”

However, this wasn’t the current Jian Yiling.

This referred to the Jian Yiling of the past.

Before the accident had happened and before Jian Yuncheng had returned from overseas, Jian Yiling had posted a question online. She had asked for advice regarding a birthday present.

[Big brother’s birthday is coming soon. What should I give him? I want to put some thought into this gift. P.S My brother has everything he needs.]

There were numerous suggestions from people. However, most of the advice given wasn’t of use to Jian Yiling.

She didn’t know how to make most of the suggested handcrafts.

However, one particular suggestion caught her eye. The suggestion was to personally knit a scarf for her eldest brother.

Although Jian Yiling didn’t know how to do this as well, according to that Internet user, knitting was quite easy to learn.

Jian Yiling’s reply to that user was: [Ahhhh… I don’t care anymore. Even if it looks bad, he better accept it! If he doesn’t like it, I won’t let him enter the house! ╭(╯^╰)╮]

Grandma Jian gently patted Jian Yiling on the head, “Yiling, I’m so happy that you’re willing to let that matter go. The only thing granny wants is to see you be happy. Forget about those unhappy things! Let those things just pass by!”

Jian Yiling nodded.

During dinner, everyone sat together at the table in the Jian Residence.

As Jian Yunnao hadn’t attended school for quite a while, Mo Shiyun brought along the assignments that were due soon. At the same time, she helped Jian Yunnao learn the recent content and brought him up to date.

As Mo Shiyun had been explaining and finished at dinner time, it was natural for her to stay back and eat dinner with the rest of the Jian family.

At this moment, Aunt An brought in a paper bag from outside the door.

“Sir, Madam, there’s a paper bag at the front door. I saw it when I went to take out the trash.”

As it was left at the front door, it must have been left by someone who lived at the Jian Residence. This was because outsiders couldn’t get past the iron gate.

“Did someone leave it there?”

Wen Nuan’s face appeared exhausted. Hearing Aunt An’s words, she absent-mindedly raised her head.

“There’s a birthday card in the bag. However, nothing was written on the card. It seems as though it’s a gift for young master Yuncheng.” Aunt An said.

There was a birthday card that was placed at the top of the paper bag. However, there was no signature on it.

“Pass it over,” Jian Yuncheng said. He reached out and took the paper bag from Aunt An.

When Jian Yuncheng opened the bag, he found a beautifully hand-knit sweater along with an embroidered scarf.

At this moment, Aunt Mo came out of the kitchen. When she saw the sweater and scarf that Jian Yuncheng held, she assumed that her daughter had prepared them.

“Shiyun, if you prepared a gift for the young master, why didn’t you give it to him personally? If you left it at the door, what if it got overlooked?” Aunt Mo said as she playfully blamed her daughter.

Mo Shiyun was taken aback. This wasn’t the gift that she had prepared.

Although her mother had asked her to prepare a gift for the young master, this wasn’t it. Whilst she had indeed prepared one, the gift was still in her room. She had planned to give it to him tomorrow.
