However, Cai Qinyue was thinking about something else in her mind. If it weren’t for Master Liang, she would never bow her head to the Jian family. However, this time around, the Jian family had connections that they did not.
The Jian family was nothing in Beijing compared to the Wen family. If it weren’t for this accident, the Wen family would never seek help from the Jian family.
On the other hand, Wen Nuan just wanted to have fun with her daughter today.
However, she quickly realized that her sister-in-law had other motives.
If she had known this in advance, Wen Nuan would have never agreed to Cai Qinyue.
However, Jian Yiling did not answer for a long time. When Wen Ruo saw this, she asked again: “Cousin, what do you think?”
“I don’t think I have that sort of relationship with Master Liang. I don’t want to owe him anything.” Jian Yiling responded honestly.
She merely had a cooperative relationship with Master Liang.
Jian Yiling treated most people in this way. She made sure not to owe anyone anything.
However, the only exception was Zhai Yunsheng.
“However, he attended your birthday party. He even gave you a birthday present,” Cai Qinyue said. If they were that close already, she wouldn’t be owing him anything.
Upon hearing her sister-in-law speak again, Wen Nuan’s face sank even more.
“Sister-in-law, Yiling already said that she doesn’t want to owe Master Liang a favor.”
“Wen Nuan, you need to understand the situation. This matter can become a big problem for the Wen family. In addition, you grew up in the Wen family. I’m your sister-in-law. Just because you don’t want to owe someone else a favor, would you not care about your relatives when they’re in trouble?”
Wen Nuan stared at Cai Qinyue. If she was saying this to her today, then Wen Nuan would be willing to accept these words.
However, this was her daughter. Her daughter did not owe the Wen family! And thus, Wen Nuan began to become frustrated.
Furthermore, Cai Qinyue had never mentioned this before now. Previously, she merely said that they were going to go shopping.
“Yiling, let’s go,” Wen Nuan said. She picked up her bag to leave.
When Cai Qinyue saw Wen Nuan do this, her temper began to flare as well.
“I’m your sister-in-law! I’m just asking you to help! Do you have to be like this?!”
“If you want us to help, just say so in advance! However, you can’t trick us like this! Furthermore, you heard what Yiling said! You’re the one who is unwilling to relent. You said that we’re going to go shopping together, however, you only want Yiling to help you solve your problem!”
Wen Ruo gently tugged at Wen Nuan’s arm. She attempted to console her mother and her aunt: “Please don’t argue. It’s nothing much. It’s okay if Yiling does not want to help us. We just mentioned it in passing. We’re not demanding you to help us. Furthermore, my mother is just stressed about the situation. She’s not being unrelenting about it.”
Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue said: “That’s true. My daughter is most reasonable.”
However, Wen Nuan still decided to leave.
She did not have a good relationship with her daughter in the first place. She did not want to keep her in such an awkward situation.

When Zhai Yunsheng got home, he realized that his little rabbit had gotten into a daze four times today.
It seemed as though his little rabbit had encountered some kind of problem.
And thus, Zhai Yunsheng poured Jian Yiling a cup of warm milk. Then, he asked her: “What’s the problem?”
Jian Yiling was wearing a white velvet nightgown. The gown was a little puffy. It made her look small and cute.
In addition, the nightgown only reached her knees. Her slim calves were exposed and her small feet were tucked away into her cotton slippers.
She was too damn cute.
