From Sidekick to Bigshot

Then, Jian Yiheng tried a piece of beef tenderloin. The meat was tender and juicy. Although the meat was a little spicy, the spice highlighted the taste of the beef.

Following this, Jian Yiheng tried every other dish.

All the dishes surprised and satisfied him.

He never knew that Jian Yiling’s cooking was so good.

Jian Yiling was the first woman around Jian Yiheng who knew how to cook.

Furthermore, her cooking was delicious. The dishes that she cooked were better than outside restaurants.

His mother, Nie Yun, was a restless woman. She knew how to argue with someone. However, she did not know how to cook.

Furthermore, all the women that Jian Yiheng met at martial arts schools were also the same…

Either way, this was the first time he watched a young girl cook. It was also his first time tasting the dishes that a young girl cooked.

Somehow, every dish on the desk was finished. Even the rice in the rice cooker was completely emptied. There was not a single grain of rice remaining.

When Jian Yiling was preparing the meal, she had a feeling that Jian Yiheng’s appetite would be larger than the others. However, she didn’t expect his appetite to be this big.

It seemed as though she underestimated Jian Yiheng’s appetite.

It was true that Jian Yiheng’s appetite was larger than the rest of the brothers in the Jian family. However, he ate more than usual today. This was because the food was to his liking.

“Thank you,” Jian Yiheng said to Jian Yiling. He took the initiative to say something to Jian Yiling.

However, he quickly moved his gaze away from Jian Yiling again.

After all, he didn’t like talking to girls.

Just saying ‘thank you’ was already enough for him.

After Jian Yiling and the others left, Jian Yiheng asked Jian Yichen about the details of the kidnapping: “Tell me the details of what happened.”

“Brother, please don’t… Don’t train me…” Jian Yichen stammered.

He assumed that his brother was asking him for the details in order to teach him how to retaliate in the future.

“I’m not going to train you. Just tell me what happened.” Jian Yiheng said. There was still no expression on his face.

“Okay…” Jian Yichen said weakly. Then, he quietly described what happened on that day.

After finishing, Jian Yichen asked again: “Brother, why are you asking me about this?”

“To get your revenge.”

He could hit his brother. His mother could hit his brother. However, no outsiders were allowed to do this.

“Brother, I’m fine. Look! I’m alive and well right now!”

Jian Yichen said as he smiled cheekily.

If it weren’t for the fact that Jian Yiheng knew what his brother was like, he would have actually believed in this act right now.

“Did you do something already?” Jian Yiheng asked.

Jian Yichen was not someone who would willingly suffer a loss.

He would only suffer losses when his family members were involved. However, he did not suffer losses from outsiders.

“Hahaha,” Jian Yichen laughed. “It seems as though you understand me quite well.”

“Who is behind all of this?”

“Someone from the Qin family. When I get the chance, I will expose this news. I will make sure to cause trouble in the Qin family.”

“Okay. Be careful though. Just don’t get yourself too involved again.”

“Okay, okay. Don’t worry about me. After all, I still have the bodyguards that you trained. It will be fine.”

“They’re not infallible.”

“Brother, you need to have faith in me~”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiheng decided not to pursue the matter any further.

The next day, Jian Yiling prepared lunch boxes for Jian Yiheng and Jian Yichen.

The lunches were packed inside two black insulated boxes.

Jian Yiheng’s lunchbox was a size bigger.

Jian Yiling had prepared these lunchboxes for Jian Yichen and Jian Yiheng. She made Zhai Yunsheng’s lunchbox separately. After all, he could not eat super greasy foods.

Jian Yiheng opened the lunchbox to take a look.

The dishes were completely different from yesterday. However, they all looked incredibly tasty.
