After the charity dinner, Jian Yumin planned to send Jian Yiling home.
However, He Yan had also followed them. She rushed to get into the same car as them.
As Jian Yiling had information that could be used against He Yan, He Yan could only keep a low profile when she spoke with Jian Yiling.
However, He Yan was curious about the incident today. As a result, she wanted to ask about it no matter what.
“Yiling, how did you meet Master Liang? And why did Master Liang give you such an expensive gift?”
The pink diamond cost 25 million dollars!
It was so expensive! It was unfathomable!
It wasn’t that the Jian family didn’t have 25 million dollars.
However, the Jian family typically wouldn’t spend 25 million dollars on a piece of jewelry. He Yan definitely wouldn’t spend that amount to buy herself jewelry.
Despite this, He Yan knew that Grandma Jian had quite a few pieces of expensive jewelry in her safe. Furthermore, Grandpa Jian’s antique collection had items of the same value as the pink diamond that had been gifted to Jian Yiling.
However, these items would not be given as gifts. They were incredibly precious and costly.
Jian Yumin didn’t like his mother’s attitude as she interrogated Jian Yiling. However, he was also curious. He wanted to know how Jian Yiling and Master Liang knew each other.
Jian Yiling ignored He Yan. However, she returned Jian Yumin’s quizzical gaze and replied:
“I met him on the Internet. He’s a friend.”
However, He Yan didn’t believe such a reply, “How is that possible? How could Master Liang just make friends on the Internet? And the gifts that he gives his online friends… This is ridiculous…”
He Yan knew that the Internet wasn’t safe. There were lots of people who lied and scammed unsuspecting individuals on the Internet.
How was it the exact opposite situation when it came to Jian Yiling?
It was hard for He Yan to believe in Jian Yiling’s words. However, Jian Yiling was telling the truth.
She had indeed met Master Liang on the Internet.
Furthermore, today was the first time the two of them had officially met.
“Mother, Jian Yiling answered your question. Why don’t you believe her answer?” Jian Yumin asked. His brows furrowed before he continued, “Although it’s quite unlikely, isn’t it a good thing that Jian Yiling met Master Liang? He’s quite an honorable person.”
Although the matter was quite puzzling, Master Liang was evidently a good person. Everyone knew his character and status.
“That’s not what I meant,” He Yan replied. He Yan had a completely different point of view from Jian Yumin. She wanted to ask Jian Yiling for more details.
However, she noticed that Jian Yiling’s eyes began to turn cold.
He Yan couldn’t help but recall the time when she was beaten by Jian Yiling. Back then, Jian Yiling had looked at her with the same eyes.
Although she had a harmless face, the little girl was ruthless! In fact, she was even more ruthless than He Yan.
As a result, He Yan was forced to hold back her doubts.

Very soon, the news at the charity dinner reached the ears of the rest of the Jian family.
Upon hearing the news, the Jian family had complicated feelings.
“Yuncheng, come with me tomorrow to visit Master Liang,” Jian Shuxing said. This decision was made after a long period of pondering by Jian Shuxing.
Originally, they didn’t really interact with Master Liang. As a result, there was no need to pay him a visit.
However, Master Liang had given such a valuable gift to their daughter in public.
Due to this, it was only reasonable for them to visit Master Liang.
After they met Master Liang, perhaps they would learn about why Master Liang had given Jian Yiling such an expensive gift. Perhaps they would have an answer at that time.
Jian Yuncheng agreed.
Although he agreed, his expression looked quite heavy.
He no longer understood Jian Yiling. She was once the little girl who hid under their wings. However, now, he didn’t understand what she was thinking. Nor did she ever tell them about her matters.
They hadn’t heard that she was acquainted with Master Liang till now. And even now, they hadn’t heard the news from Jian Yiling herself.
