Chapter 171 - Brother Yujie
During the period of Jian Yiling’s hospitalization, Grandma Jian never told Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing the location of their daughter. She refused to answer all of their questions.
Grandma Jian didn’t let them know until the third day. That was the day when Jian Yiling was getting discharged from the hospital. Grandma Jian had contacted Jian Yuncheng to come to pick up Jian Yiling from the hospital and bring her back to the Old Jian Residence. He was a free source of labor.

Upon receiving Grandma Jian’s message, Jian Yuncheng realized that Jian Yiling was still hospitalized. She had merely been switched to a different room.
Jian Yuncheng watched Jian Yiling climb into his car. She sat quietly in the back seat and held her phone in her hand. Her slim and pale fingers tapped away at the screen and she appeared to look as though she was concentrating on something.
Jian Yiling had been preoccupied with her recent work problems. Due to this reason, she didn’t pay attention to who was driving the car. She didn’t know whether it was their family chauffeur or someone else.
When Jian Yuncheng saw Jian Yiling’s face, he felt a stab of pain in his heart.
Jian Yuncheng had heard Jian Yiling quite clearly when she had called Jian Yujie ‘brother’.
Her voice was soft and sweet. It appeared as though they had quite a close relationship.
However, it had been a long time since she had called him ‘brother’.
This kind of disparity made Jian Yuncheng’s expression become disappointed and depressed.
Later, Jian Yuncheng had stayed at the Old Jian Residence for lunch.
During lunch, there was a good atmosphere between Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling. Jian Yujie would often pass Jian Yiling food. Although the two of them didn’t speak much, it appeared as though they were very close.
