Chapter 34: I’ll Treasure My Darling  

Jian Yiling knew that Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were reluctant for this to happen.

She had read the original novel and seen this scene play out before her eyes.

In the original novel, Jian Yiling had a violent reaction. She cried and threw a tantrum.

As a result, Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan became softhearted and didn’t end up sending her to the Old Residence.

However, the result was quite cruel. When Jian Yunnao returned to the house, there was a constant tension between Jian Yiling and him. It was as though there was a sword that was held above their heads at every moment.

The conflict between Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao became worse. This caused the entire Jian family to fall into deep suffering.

Compared to that happening again, Jian Yiling decided to listen to the arrangements and to go live in the Old Residence for some time.

Early in the morning, Grandma Jian came over. She arrived before Jian Yuncheng had delivered Jian Yiling’s luggage to the Old Residence.

It was a few minutes past eight. Jian Shuxing hadn’t yet left the house.

“Mother, why are you here? You can just ask the driver to come over. Or you can ask Yuncheng to deliver the luggage later.”

Grandma Jian intentionally ignored Jian Shuxing. She walked straight to the door to find Jian Yiling’s luggage piled at the door. Then, she asked the driver to move the luggage to the car.

“Mother, don’t be upset... You know that Wen Nuan and I didn’t have a choice in this matter...”

Jian Shuxing knew that his mother was angry with him. His expression was helpless and pained.

“Did I say that you did something wrong?” Grandma Jian’s expression was serious. “You have your pains and you have your logic to deal with. I understand that. Then can’t I show my affection to my dear granddaughter? If both of you don’t have the time and energy to take of her, can’t I do that then? Or do you not allow me to?”

“Yes, yes mother. I know. Yiling will trouble you for a while.” Jian Shuxing’s mind went back to how obedient Jian Yiling looked last night. The more he thought of it, the more guilty he felt.

“It’s no trouble for me! I am happy! And actually, don’t pick her up in the future! Give her to me to take care of.”

Grandma Jian was incredibly unhappy. As a result, her words and tone were unkind.

Jian Shuxing could do nothing else but to obediently listen. It was definitely not possible for them to let Grandma Jian take care of Jian Yiling forever. Jian Shuxing wanted to bring Jian Yiling back once Jian Yunnao’s attitude towards Jian Yiling relaxed.

Before leaving, Grandma Jian expressed her opinion on the matter. “Either way, I don’t believe that Yiling is a malicious child. Even if she did something, I believe it was an accident and not her intention.”

Jian Shuxing watched Grandma Jian leave. His heart was slightly moved.

At night, Grandma Jian waited in front of the gates of Shenghua High School.

She didn’t feel reassured if just the driver picked her up. As a result, she came as well.

Before school had even ended, Grandma Jian had started sticking her head out to look around.

“Grandma Jian, don’t worry. When school is over, Miss Yiling will come out,” the driver quietly convinced.

“You don’t understand. Even though my darling looks quite fierce, she has an incredibly sensitive soul.” Grandma Jian had raised three sons by herself. And she also had taken care of many grandsons. She knew the behavior of her children.

Following which, Grandma Jian sighed. “It doesn’t matter if she is finicky. It is okay for the daughters of the Jian family to be finicky. I’m just worried that the conflict in the hearts of these two children won’t be solved.”

After a while, Jian Yiling came out. Grandma Jian happily took Jian Yiling’s bag and dragged her to come to sit beside her.

“Darling, Grandma has missed you so much. Grandma asked your father to ask you to come to live with me for a while at the Old Residence. And you know your father, he can’t win an argument against me.”

“Mhmm.” Jian Yiling replied as she nodded slightly. She didn’t expose that she knew the truth.
