Chapter 252: Waiting in Vain

Chapter 252: Waiting in Vain

Their unfriendly eyes were all focused on one person. And that was the person who had received a gift from Jian Yiling. It was Luo Xun.

“Crybaby, please explain the situation. Why did you give this brat a gift?”

Jian Yumin asked Jian Yiling in a grave and serious tone.

“I want to thank him,” Jian Yiling replied.

In the original novel, Luo Xun had protected Jian Yiling for a long time. However, in the end, he had gotten into trouble because he had been involved with Jian Yiling.

However, right now, everyone’s eyes were focused on Luo Xun.

Everyone stared at him as though they were a group of policemen that were looking at a suspect.

Upon hearing Jian Yiling’s words, Luo Xun was confused as well. He didn’t know what he had done to make Jian Yiling thank him.

However, he enjoyed the feeling of being envied by everyone.

“Well, it’s because I’m cute!” Luo Xun cried out shamelessly.

As soon as he said this, Luo Xun was immediately met with disgusted glances from the other group members.

How shameless!

How awfully shameless!

This brat needed to get bashed up.

Following this, Jian Yumin turned around and said to Jian Yiling, “Crybaby, don’t be fooled by this brat’s smiling face!”

Jian Yumin was worried that Luo Xun had tricked Jian Yiling with his cute little face. His cute puppy dog face had a universal appeal to everyone

However, this was not okay.

“Yeah, my brother is right!” Jian Yujie echoed. Surprisingly, the two of them were in sync on this matter.

Jian Yujie was incredibly unimpressed.

This was a hat that was knitted by Yiling! Knitting a hat would take Yiling quite some time and effort!

It made sense that his elder brother got a gift. However, why did Luo Xun get a gift as well?

Jian Yuncheng’s expression was gloomy. He stared at Jian Yiling and Luo Xun. His displeased expression was evident on his face.

Especially when he saw Luo Xun’s smiling face as he received Jian Yiling’s gift.

Normally, by this time, he would have opened his mouth and said something more direct than Jian Yumin to warn Luo Xun. He wanted that person to stay away from his sister.

However, this time, his senses demanded that he resist that impulse.

His relationship with Yiling was already very estranged. If he were to do something like this, it could potentially make the current situation even worse.

Jian Yuncheng was a very cold and arrogant person. It was not easy for him to hold back his emotions. However, he forced himself to do so this time.

He wanted to intervene in the situation. However, he knew that he couldn’t. Such a feeling was difficult and bitter at the same time.

This made the food taste dull and tasteless.

Yu Xi took the spare time to send a message to Zhai Yunsheng. Zhai Yunsheng hadn’t joined them on their trip today. A picture accompanied the message that he sent.

[Jupiter’s concert was a success. God Ling gave Jian Yumin and another group member gifts. The gifts were a hand-knitted jumper and hat!]

After the message was sent, Yu Xi didn’t get a response for a long time.

Due to this reason, Yu Xi assumed because it was late, Master Sheng had fallen asleep already.

Whilst everyone was eating at the Yu family’s restaurant, Jian Yunnao waited by himself in the car.

Although Jian Yuncheng had told him that he could go home first, Jian Yunnao refused to do so. He decided to wait for everyone to return.

Around one o’clock in the morning, Jian Yunnao finally saw Jian Yuncheng.

“Brother!” Jian Yunnao cried out immediately as he saw Jian Yuncheng. His eyes lit up. Then, he looked behind Jian Yuncheng only to discover that no one was following him.

“Where’s Yiling?” Jian Yunnao asked in a hurry.

“Yumin took her home.”

Jian Yumin was returning to the Old Jian Residence. On the other hand, they were going back to the Jian Residence.

Thus theoretically, it made sense for Jian Yumin to send Jian Yiling back home. It was the most logical and efficient option.
