From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 53: Party (4)

Jian Yujie didn’t listen to Ji Ming no matter what he said. He wouldn’t listen to someone that spoke ill of Yiling!

As Jian Yiling looked at Jian Yujie’s back, her heart felt warm.

This was the first time that someone stood in front of her.

Ji Ming was also speechless. Reasoning with Jian Yujie wouldn’t work at all. Especially if Jian Yujie was so fixated on the fact that Jian Yiling could do nothing wrong.

“Fine fine, I won’t argue with you. If you choose to be blind and death, that’s your decision. Don’t come to me when you get scammed!”

“You don’t need to say that! For now, you just need to apologize to Yiling!”

“Why do I need to apologize? I stepped on her and she also stepped on me. Why do I need to apologize to her?”

Ji Ming and Jian Yujie’s argument grew louder and louder.

At this moment, Yu Xi appeared. “Why are you guys arguing? Are you trying to ruin my party?”

This was a party hosted by the Yu family.

Ji Ming hurriedly tried to explain, “Brother, that’s not my intention. I don’t want to argue. However, Jian Yujie wants me to apologize to Yiling. It was initially something small, but Jian Yujie kept going at it. I couldn’t do anything about this.”

Yu Xi glanced at Jian Yujie who was standing in front of Jian Yiling.

Then, he turned around to face Ji Ming and said, “If you don’t apologize and disturb Master Sheng, I’m not going to deal with it.”

“No... Brother, it’s not my fault. It’s their fault... I didn’t even do anything to provoke them...”

Ji Ming furiously tried to explain to Yu Xi. He tried to make Yu Xi understand that he didn’t do the wrong thing and thus, he didn’t need to apologize.

“Then continue to argue. I’ll take my leave. I don’t want to get involved when Master Sheng gets annoyed at you.”

Once Yu Xi said his words, he backed away.

The message that he didn’t want to get involved was clear.

Ji Ming felt that he was wronged. How could this be his fault? It was clearly Jian Yujie who was unwilling to let go of the matter.

Then, Ji Ming glanced at Yu Xi. He remembered the words that his father told him before he left this morning. He was told to be on his best behavior.

It would be good if he could talk to Master Sheng. However, if he couldn’t, the thing that he should avoid doing is provoking Master Sheng. If Master Sheng was provoked, that would cause the Ji family quite some trouble.

At the start, he had just wanted to help Qiu Yizhen. The only thing he wanted was to make Jian Yiling feel unhappy.

Ji Ming finally gave in. “Okay okay, I apologize. I shouldn’t have stepped on Jian Yiling. I admit I’m wrong. Is that fine?”

After Ji Ming finished saying it, he looked at Yu Xi.

To this, Yu Xi said, “Don’t look at me. You’re not apologizing to me.”

Thus, Ji Ming reluctantly turned to Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie and asked, “I’ve apologized already. What else do you want from me?”

“Nothing,” Jian Yujie replied as he glared at Ji Ming. After a moment, he turned his head and pulled Jian Yiling away.

He found a relatively empty corner. Jian Yujie let Jian Yiling sit on the sofa before asking.

“Yiling, what do you want to eat? Brother will get it for you.”

Jian Yiling hadn’t eaten lunch yet. She was definitely going to be hungry at this point.

“Anything is fine,” Jian Yiling replied. She wasn’t picky about food.

“Then I’ll go pick for you.”

Jian Yujie quickly walked to the dessert section. He picked up a lychee and raspberry tart, a few sea salt caramel puffs, a strawberry napoleon, and a bowl of fruit yogurt.

Jian Yujie knew that Jian Yiling wasn’t picky with food. However, when it came to eating, she preferred sweet foods.

After getting the food, Jian Yujie quickly returned.

He was worried that if he left for a long time, someone would come by and bother Jian Yiling again.

Whilst, Jian Yiling concentrated on eating the food, Jian Yujie sat next to her and told her interesting news that was happening.

While Jian Yiling and Jian Yujie were focused on eating, the rest of the people at the party were all wondering where Master Sheng was.

As the Qiu family had good relations with the Yu family, Qiu Yizhen went up to Yu Xi and asked, “Where is Master Sheng?”
