Chapter 239: Identity Revealed to Qin Chuan (2)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Qin Chuan had a clear idea of who he was.

Although his career was on an upwards path, his company was growing rapidly and his future prospects were rather promising.

And even schools like Shenghua High School defined him as a role model for today’s college students.

He knew that these were his only achievements. Compared to the Jian family, he was still just an ordinary man.

“I don’t like you romantically,” Jian Yiling said in a hurry.

She was worried that Qin Chuan might have mistaken the intent behind her actions and words.

“Huh?” Qin Chuan asked. He had never thought of such a thing before.

Did he say something to make Jian Yiling say such a thing? Did it sound like he misinterpreted her words?

“I don’t have any feelings for you,” Jian Yiling emphasized.

Qin Chuan laughed again. Today, in front of Jian Yiling, he had laughed more than he had in the entirety of the previous week.

Of course, a key factor to his laughter was because his mother’s condition had taken a turn for the better.

“I didn’t think of such a thing,” Qin Chuan replied. “I was just merely curious about why you’re so optimistic about my future.”

Qin Chuan wasn’t that narcissistic. He didn’t think that Jian Yiling’s actions were because she liked him romantically.

Of course, Qin Chuan didn’t doubt his own charm. Just before entering the cafe, he had encountered a girl who tried to talk to him. Due to this reason, he knew that he was quite charismatic.

However, Qin Chuan knew that Jian Yiling wasn’t interested in him. He was sure that the girl in front of him right now had no interest in him. Rather, she didn’t even want to talk to him unless it was necessary.

And thus, QIn Chuan was even more curious about Jian Yiling’s intentions. He wanted to know why she would ask for such a request.

“You’re talented and I like money.”

Jian Yiling said the words ‘I like money’ in a serious manner.

Her soft and sweet voice didn’t match her words. It was quite odd to hear such a thing from her.

Qin Chuan paused for quite some time. Then, he started to laugh again.

Qin Chuan was the male lead of the original novel. Due to this reason, he had quite a charming appearance. As soon as he smiled, the girls who were seated at the next table in the cafe all looked over in his direction.

There were love hearts that sparkled in their eyes.

Qin Chuan hadn’t expected such a direct reply from Jian Yiling.

However, he knew that her reply was quite reasonable and fair.

Qin Chuan couldn’t help but sigh. From a young age, Jian Yiling knew how to invest. Her brothers were the same as her. Investment and wealth management were things that the children of the Jian family did from a young age.

However, her investment was quite different from the masses.

He was one of the ‘goods’ that she invested in.

“Then, I’d like to genuinely thank Miss Yiling for your acknowledgment.”

Qin Chuan said in a half-serious half-joking manner.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Then she said, “Is there anything you’d like to ask about your mother’s condition?”

“No. I believe in you guys,” Qin Chuan replied. “This is not in my field of expertise. Due to this reason, I trust you with my entire heart and soul. This is the only way to save my mother.”

Qin Chuan wasn’t overly bothered by Jian Yiling’s age.

From the day he sent his mother to the Huiling Medical Research Institution, he had already chosen to believe in the institution. He believed that the doctors at the institution were professional and competent.

Jian Yiling was a member of the institution. As a result, he fully believed in her abilities as well.

“Furthermore, I won’t tell anyone about your situation,” Qin Chuan continued.

Qin Chuan was a smart man. He had deduced from her previous behavior that she didn’t want others to know her secret.

Of course, this included her own family members.

If her family knew about her situation, then they wouldn’t have paid him to be her tutor.
