Chapter 141: Yiling’s Friends (3)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

How was Jian Yiling so fortunate?

Jian Yunnao’s eyes fell on Jian Yiling’s body.

This was the first time since the incident that he had looked at her carefully for a long period of time…

At this moment, his emotions were in a mess. He didn’t understand how he felt.

Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng stared at Jian Yiling in a similar way. It appeared as though they had something to say, however, they didn’t know what to say.

It was comforting to know that their daughter/sister had friends to come and visit her whilst she was sick.

However, her friends were quite ‘special’. They were also closely related to the matter that the family cared about the most recently. As a result, none of them could feel relaxed in this situation.

Grandma Jian also had the same feelings. Although she appeared to look calm, she was also surprised and relieved at the same time.

It seemed as though the problem that she had been worried about all this time had been solved. Furthermore, it appeared as though she had made the right decision to let her darling play more games.

However, Jian Yumin’s attention was entirely on the person who had answered the question. And that was Cheng Yi.

He wondered whether or not Cheng Yi was actually a gentleman. He wasn’t ready to be deceived by appearances.

During his time in the entertainment industry, he had seen people who appeared civil and well-mannered on the outside. However, when he had gotten to know them more, they were worse than animals.

Although there were only a few people that were like this, it was still proof that these people existed.

Hong Baizhang was confused and also quite surprised: “For real? You mean Dr. F.S who has been in the limelight at your institution recently?”

Hong Baizhang had heard of this person before. Dr. F.S had published many groundbreaking research reports and academic articles recently.

Professor Xu never typically posted things on his newsfeed. However, he had posted several screenshots of passages in the reports. Accompanied by those screenshots, Professor Xu had also expressed his own thoughts and opinions on the research. It was as though he regretted not meeting Dr. F.S earlier.

Hong Baizhang wanted to laugh at such an action. However, at the same time, he still was incredibly impressed and envious of Professor Xu.

“Yeah, that’s right.” Cheng Yi said. Whenever he spoke, he always had a shallow yet warm smile on his face.

After they received confirmation, the expression on everyone’s faces became even more complicated. The feelings and thoughts that were running through their hearts and minds could not be summarized by a single word.

Jian Yunnao felt that his heart was being roasted on top of a barbecue.

Jian Yiling knew the mysterious surgeon.

Then, what would she do?

For a moment, Jian Yunnao wanted to ask Jian Yiling. He wanted to know what she would do…

However, he suddenly remembered their stiff and awkward relationship.

During this period of time, they had so many conflicts and arguments…

All of a sudden, Jian Yunnao felt a trace of bitterness in his throat. He could only swallow back the words that had just reached his lips.

If he were to ask Jian Yiling, he might receive a response that was the opposite of what he wanted.

It was even possible that his words might annoy Jian Yiling.

And that would be the last thing that he wanted to happen right now.

The anxiety and bitterness were written on Jian Yunnao’s face. However, not only did the Jian family see his expression, Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen also saw it.

The only person who didn’t understand what was happening was Hong Baizhang. His mind was still full of thoughts regarding Dr. F.S.

“Did you meet Dr. F.S whilst playing a game?” Hong Baizhang asked.

“Pretty much.” Cheng Yi responded. He made a habitual motion of pushing up his glasses.

Hong Baizhang continued to fire away questions: “What game is it? I want to play as well!”

Hong Baizhang was already in his fifties. However, all of a sudden, he wanted to download the game that they had all been playing.

“Dr. Cheng, why don’t you invite me to play that game later?”

Maybe he’d end up becoming friends with these big shots as well.
