Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
As Jian Yuncheng remained in his daze, Jian Yiling placed the slice of cake on the corner of the desk next to him before she turned around to do her own things.
As a result, Jian Yuncheng was given the cold shoulder by her.
Jian Yuncheng stayed in Jian Yiling’s study room for quite a while. In that period of time, he finished the slice of cake that Jian Yiling had handed him. He also explained a few geometry questions to her.
During that time, Jian Yuncheng had also discovered a half-knit sweater that Jian Yiling had placed on the side of her study desk. It was the same style as the one that was given to him. However, the color of the woolen thread was gray. This one was slightly smaller than the one that was given to him.
For that reason, Jian Yuncheng knew that whilst the scarf he received might have been custom-made by someone else, the sweater was definitely made by Jian Yiling.

As he thought about this, the corners of Jian Yuncheng’s lips rose unconsciously.
However, Jian Yuncheng was yet to hear Jian Yiling call him ‘eldest brother’.
He didn’t know how long it would take for her to call him ‘eldest brother’ again.

When Jian Yuncheng came downstairs, he mentioned to Grandma and Grandpa Jian that he wanted to bring Jian Yiling back home in a few days.
However, Grandma Jian had instantly rejected his suggestion, “What are you even thinking of? You can bring her here whenever you want and now you want to take her back? Go away. What a joke! My darling is living here with me! Even though both of us are old and can’t do much, we can still take care of my darling granddaughter just fine!”

Jian Yuncheng couldn’t do anything but turn his head to look at his grandpa.
“Don’t look at me,” Grandpa Jian replied. He stood by his wife this time. “This residence has been cold and deserted for such a long time. It’s rare for our darling granddaughter to come over. I’m not willing to send her away either!”

Whilst Grandpa Jian didn’t adore Jian Yiling as much as Grandma Jian did, he still loved his granddaughter very much.
Grandma Jian continued speaking, “I’ve also discussed with Grandpa Jian. We are going to leave 80% of the property under our name to Yiling. Of course, this includes the Old Jian Residence. The remaining 20% can be divided amongst the eight of you! You can’t blame us for being biased!”

Grandpa and Grandma Jian had both retired. Their company and equity shares had also been handed over to their sons.
However, the two of them still held a large amount of funds, stocks, and property under their name. That amount of wealth was enough for Jian Yiling to not worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.
This was also what He Yan kept thinking about. This sum of money was huge.
“Grandma, I don’t have any objections to that. Even if you were to give everything to Yiling that’s fine with me. However, I’m talking about bringing Yiling back home.”
Jian Yuncheng had no interest in his grandparent’s assets. As a result, he had no opinion on how his grandparents wanted to divide their assets.
“No way! I’ve told you already! You can send her here whenever you want! However, you want to bring her back home? No way! If you dare to come to pick her up, I’ll shoo you all out! I won’t even open the gates for you!”

Grandma Jian started to be unreasonable.
It didn’t matter that Jian Yuncheng was the one asking her. Even if Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were to come, she would give them the same response!
Grandpa Jian was a little more reasonable, “Yuncheng, you know there is still conflict between Yiling and Yunnao. This matter won’t pass by in a short time. Shouldn’t you at least wait until Yunnao’s hands get better? Because of this, you should leave Yiling with us for now.”
When Jian Yunnao’s hands really got better, Grandpa Jian could still come up with good reasons to delay sending Yiling back home.

Jian Yuncheng was completely defeated when it came to facing Grandma and Grandpa Jian’s determination on this matter.

At least for now, it was impossible to waver them on their decision.
