Chapter 131: Cousin Jian Yumin (1)
The man who appeared in front of her was quite tall. He had long legs and hair that was dyed ash gray. He also had a diamond earring on one ear.
He was fair-skinned and had quite a pretty face. It seemed as though his eyes had a constant smile to them. The aura that he gave off was sexy and charming.
He looked just like how he did on posters and albums. Incredibly attractive and alluring.
Jian Yumin leaned sideways against the door frame and called out to Jian Yiling, "Crybaby."
The sound of Jian Yumin's voice was also incredibly attractive. People often commented that listening to such a voice made their 'ears feel pregnant'.
Jian Yiling looked straight at Jian Yumin. She wondered why he was calling her that name.
"You cried when I hugged you. Then you also cried after I teased you for a bit. Do you not think that you're a crybaby?" Jian Yumin elaborated.
It had been a long time since Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling had seen one another.
Jian Yumin was eleven years older than Jian Yiling. When Jian Yiling was a baby, she would cry whenever he hugged or teased her.
However, whenever he teased and playfully bullied Jian Yujie, that kid would always giggle and laugh at him.
And thus, Jian Yumin had quite a profound impression of this strange creature that was a 'younger sister'. And that was, she loved to cry.

"You also cried, when you were young." Jian Yiling retorted with a low voice.
"You haven't seen that before."
As Jian Yumin was eleven years older than Jian Yiling, he was determined to not admit that he had also cried when he was young.
After Jian Yiling heard Jian Yumin's words, she turned around and simply walked away.
There was no point in having any more discussions.
As soon as Jian Yiling left, Jian Yumin's eyebrows furrowed a little. After a moment, he returned back to his room.
"Brother Yumin, what were you doing just then? Why did you suddenly stop playing the guitar?"
In the room, Jian Yumin had been video calling with the rest of his group members. They were discussing the new song that they had planned to release.
"Nothing much," Jian Yumin replied. However, after a moment, he couldn't help but ask his group members a question, "Do any of you guys have a younger sister?"
"I don't have a younger sister. However, I do have a younger brother."
"I'm an only child."

"I have an older sister."
"..."
One by one, the members of the group answered his question.
"What's wrong, Brother Yumin? Why did you suddenly ask such a question?"
One of the group members asked in curiosity.
"I have a younger sister. She's quite adorable. However, every time I went near her, she started crying. Her eyes became red and tears started to flow out of her eyes. I don't even know why. Now that she's grown up a little, I thought that I could finally have a proper conversation with her. However, when I went to talk to her just now, she ran away again. I thought by now, she wouldn't be as timid as before..."
Jian Yumin didn't understand how a 'younger sister' functioned.
However, even though his younger sister grew up quite a bit, she still remained small and cute. This made him want to dote on her even more.
Furthermore, when he came back from his band tour, Jian Yujie had bragged about how he often hung out with Yiling. He also kept telling him about how he got a gift from Yiling.
Although Jian Yumin wouldn't admit it, as soon as he got the chance, he moved into the Old Jian Residence.
He didn't want to stay at home anyways. His mother would often scold him for hours on end. As a result, he might as well move somewhere else that was quiet and peaceful.

"Brother Yumin, why don't you sweet talk her in the same way as you do to your female fans? Or are you afraid that she won't be affected by your words?"
"Yeah, that's a good idea. The age range of your fanbase starts from eight years old and goes all the way to eighty. As long as your sister is in that range, it'll be fine."
The members of the group got along quite well. As a result, they often teased one another.
"Could you guys be a little more serious? When have I sweet-talked a female fan? I don't have such a skill okay?"
Jian Yumin felt that he had never sweet-talked or coaxed a female fan. What was the point in doing that anyway? He did what he had to do. And that was singing and performing.
Chapter 132: Cousin Jian Yumin (2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Coaxing or sweet-talking? That wasn't something that he did.
Especially not to his fans.
However... He could try that with Yiling... Jian Yumin tried to imagine Jian Yiling pouting at him. It was an incredibly cute image. And thus, he came to the conclusion that it was probably worth a try.
The other members of his group continued to encourage him:
"It doesn't matter whether or not you have this skill. The important thing here is coaxing your sister. But then again, now that I think about it, your sister is probably quite good-looking, right? After all, with your appearance, I'd assume that good looks run in the family."
"Hmm... Brother Yumin, why don't you invite us over to your house for a day? Let us see your sister!"
1
"Yeah, I like that suggestion as well! Let's all go to Brother Yumin's house."
Without hesitation, Jian Yumin decisively refused their suggestion, "Go away! Stay away from that thought! Are we still planning to write a new song or not?"
"Yeah, we are. However, why don't we come over and write a new song at your house? Isn't that a good idea?"
2
"Yeah, that sounds good."

Jian Yumin took one look at the seemingly handsome faces on his computer screen. At that moment, he felt that they were about to turn into wolves.
Once again, Jian Yumin decisively refused their suggestion, "My house isn't that big of a place! It wouldn't accommodate all of you!"
###
During dinner time, Jian Yiling and Jian Yumin sat down at the same table.
There was not much conversation throughout dinner. After dinner, the four of them sat down together on the sofa to have a casual conversation whilst drinking tea. Grandma Jian immediately began to interrogate Jian Yumin.
"Yumin, you've been away for quite a few years. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"The contract I signed with the agency doesn't allow for romantic relationships."
Jian Yumin immediately used his contract as an excuse to prevent his grandma from matchmaking him with anyone.
Grandma Jian took a deep breath before saying, "Ahh... You brats are all so obnoxious!"
Not only were none of them cute, none of her grandsons were even finding her a cute granddaughter-in-law!
What was the use of having them?

Grandpa Jian couldn't help but make fun of Grandma Jian, "Why are you complaining about your grandsons not finding a girlfriend? Your granddaughter hasn't found a boyfriend either."
"Hey old man. Did I ask you to talk? Plus, what nonsense are you saying? Our darling is still young. How can she get a boyfriend?"
2
Grandma Jian's attitude immediately changed.
It was okay for her own grandson to go out and abduct someone else's granddaughter.
However, it was not okay for someone else's grandson to abduct her granddaughter!
1
Grandpa Jian couldn't help but shake his head, "When I see you like this, I can't help but think that you're not going to allow Yiling to marry off. And even if she marries someone, it'd be that kid called Yu Xi who lives next door. You would have to make sure that she still stays close to you."
2
Although Grandpa Jian was joking, Grandma Jian considered his words quite seriously, "Hmm... That's not a bad idea. I watched that kid grow up. He's not a bad person. Furthermore, Yu Xi's parents are not bad either. They wouldn't treat their daughter-in-law badly. They also live quite close to us. I'll be able to see Yiling every day."
All of a sudden, the topic had changed from Jian Yumin to Jian Yiling. Jian Yiling was quite confused about why the topic had shifted from Jian Yumin not finding a girlfriend to her in such a short span of time.
Although they were talking about her, Jian Yiling merely sat there and listened to them.
Jian Yumin turned around to take a look at Jian Yiling. When he saw her holding a cup of tea, he said, "You should drink less tea. Tea is a diuretic. When you were younger, you soaked a pair of my pants in your urine."
Jian Yumin remembered this event quite clearly. He was carrying Jian Yiling around when she was a baby and she had soaked his pants with urine. After wetting his pants, she started to cry again.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Although Yiling was quite cute when she cried, whenever she cried, someone else would take her away from him.
1
"Cough..."
When Jian Yiling heard Jian Yumin's words, she choked on the tea that she was sipping.
Chapter 133: Found the Surveillance
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Grandma Jian couldn't help but sigh when she saw the scene in front of her. She didn't expect that after so many years, Jian Yumin still didn't like Yiling.
2
Grandma Jian could still faintly remember that Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling were incredibly 'incompatible' when they were younger.
She didn't know the reason why Jian Yiling always cried when she was held by Jian Yumin.
Furthermore, Jian Yumin had always avoided Jian Yiling.
However, the two of them never had any real conflicts. Other than coining it as 'incompatible', Grandma Jian couldn't use any other word to describe their relationship.
However, she hadn't expected them to continue to disagree with one another now that they had grown up.
Sigh... Even if Yumin didn't like Yiling, he still shouldn't bring up a childhood incident to embarrass her! Yiling was a young lady now!
When Jian Yumin received Grandma JIan's reproachful gaze, he couldn't help but feel like he did something wrong. However, he didn't know where he had gone wrong...
He only wanted to talk to his sister...

He Yan didn't know what was wrong with her home internet. All of a sudden, it had stopped working.
As a result, she decided to call a handyman over.
The people she had contacted had arrived faster than expected. Furthermore, three of them had come at once.
They quickly checked the interior and exterior of her house.
Their inspection ranged from the circuit lines to the installations in the house to even the equipment. Nothing was skipped.
The inspection lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end.
He Yan wasn't proficient in this area. As a result, she didn't say anything until her home internet was fixed. After it was fixed, she merely paid the costs before letting the three of them go.
As soon as they left He Yan's house, the three of them got onto a commercial vehicle.
Then, one of them took out his phone and texted someone named 'Dr. F.S'.
1
[We found the surveillance video for you. We made a copy of the surveillance. We will send it over to you right now.]
The network outage at He Yan's house was deliberately arranged by them.

When He Yan had called for a handyman, they had intercepted the phone call. By doing so, they could impersonate the role of a handyman.
1
Under the guise of detecting a network issue within the house, they searched for the location where He Yan stored the memory card.
The three of them had also carried professional detection equipment with them.
Amongst the three people who went to He Yan's house, one of them was a computer expert, another was a psychologist and the final person was incredibly proficient in unpicking locks.
The final person tagged along because they were worried that He Yan would have locked up the memory card.
After they found the memory card, they didn't take the card away. Instead, they made a copy of the original video and left the memory card in its original location. They didn't want to alert He Yan that something was off.
1
At that time, Jian Yiling was in her study dealing with a few matters. When she received the message, she clicked on it and found that there was a video attached.
Inside the video, there were two people. Jian Yunnao and Jian Yiling.
The two of them had been arguing at the top of a flight of stairs. Although there was no sound in the surveillance, she could tell from their expressions and actions that they were arguing quite fiercely.
There had also been many times where the two of them had pulled and tugged at one another.
They were standing quite close to one another.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
However, what came next was the main point of the surveillance. When Jian Yunnao had become incredibly angry, he had tried walking away. However, he misstepped and fell backward.
At that instant, Jian Yiling reached out to grab him.
Her action had the obvious intent of pulling Jian Yunnao back up.
If the previous part of the clip had not been played, then it would have looked like Jian Yiling had pushed Jian Yunnao. A picture that was frozen in that time frame would indeed cause people to misunderstand.
However, when the entire clip was played, it could clearly prove that Jian Yiling was innocent.
Not only had Jian Yiling not pushed Jian Yunnao, but she had tried to pull him back instead. However, as the incident had happened suddenly, she didn't manage to grab him in time.
Chapter 134: Agreed to Perform the Surgery
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
As soon as Jian Yiling finished watching the video, she sent a message back to the other party:
[I'll accept your terms. However, we'll have to set another time for a talk.]
[Okay, that's not a problem at all. Take care of the things on your side first. However, we sincerely hope that Dr. F.S will have time to discuss our case in the next week.]
The other party didn't want to push Jian Yiling. They decided to give Jian Yiling some time to deal with her own matters.
[Okay.] Since Jian Yiling had promised them, she wouldn't break her promise.
After Jian Yiling finished contacting the other party, she started to flip through her contacts.
She didn't know who she should send this video to. Who could prove her innocence?
Jian Yiling's eyes stayed on Jian Yuncheng's name for quite a while. However, after a while, she still hadn't clicked on his name.
Jian Yiling knew that she had to find more evidence. She also knew what was the most efficient way to solve the problem.
However, she didn't know how to discuss this matter with Jian Yuncheng and the others.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling didn't know much about family ties and affection. She could only guess that everyone in her family would probably feel upset when they watched this video. Of course, that would include Grandma Jian.
Jian Yiling still remembered what Jian Yuncheng had said to her. He had told her that he didn't want to believe that she would hurt someone in her family. However, at the same time, he had also said that he didn't want to believe that Yunnao would have accused her either.
In a way, he had told her, no matter what the truth was, their family would be in suffering.
Jian Yiling sat there in silence for a while. Then, she switched to a different chat app.
This was a software that had been developed for their research institution's use. Communication between people from the research institution was done here. They didn't use any other software for chatting.
Jian Yiling sent a message to the person of contact: [I accept the case on the nerve repair surgery of the hand.]
Maybe, it would be better to release the video after Jian Yunnao's hand had healed. To a certain degree, the impact of the truth would be softened.
The person of contact quickly sent a message back to Jian Yiling: [We were hoping that you would take the case before. However, now that you have another case that you're taking on, we don't want you to be too busy.]
Jian Yiling had already taken on Qin Chuan's mother's case with Cheng Yi. It was a case of a rare disease in the blood. She would be quite tight on time if she were to take on another case.
Furthermore, Jian Yiling wasn't at the institution every day of the week.
Her workload had already exceeded her requirements.

The institution wasn't ready to kill the goose that laid golden eggs. As a result, the person of contact hoped that Jian Yiling could arrange her workload reasonably.
However, what the person of contact did not know was Jian Yiling had planned to take on three cases. The case of Qin Chuan's mother with Cheng Yi, the nerve repair surgery of the hand, and the case that she had just accepted in exchange for the video.
Jian Yiling paused for a moment to think. However, in the next, she typed: [Still accept.]
The person of contact couldn't do anything about the current situation. Initially, they had tried everything to persuade her to accept the case. However, she had declined.
And now, everything that they said couldn't stop her from taking on the case...
After the person of contact confirmed with Jian Yiling, they started to notify the patient's family about relevant procedures.
The person who answered the phone was Jian Yuncheng. When Hong Baizhang had helped in submitting the application, he had filled in Jian Yuncheng's details.
"Mr. Jian, we're here to notify you that your brother's case has been accepted by the relevant personnel in our institution..."
The institution required the patient's family to go through all the relevant procedures.
After he finished the call, Jian Yuncheng immediately told his family the good news.
For the Jian family, this was incredible news.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Even Jian Shuxing couldn't help but have red eyes.
His son's hand could be saved. Everything would be fine again.
And without a doubt, Jian Yunnao had the biggest reaction.
Chapter 135: Yiling Falls Sick (1)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Jian Yunnao had been depressed in the last few days. The incidents that he had gone through one after another had completely destroyed his faith and mentality.
He had followed his brother around like a zombie. It was as though he didn't know his purpose for living.
If it weren't for the possibility that his hand might get better, he probably wouldn't even have the courage and will to keep on living.
However, a piece of good news had suddenly arrived. His surgery had been confirmed.
Jian Yunnao couldn't help but laugh.
However, tears streamed out of his eyes as he laughed.
Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Yuncheng all looked at him as he cried. Although they had a grave expression on their faces, they were all incredibly relieved.
After a while, when Jian Yunnao finally calmed down, Jian Shuxing turned around and said to Jian Yuncheng:
"We must ensure that this operation goes well. If it does turn out well, we really need to thank that surgeon."
"I know that." Jian Yuncheng didn't need a reminder from his father. He knew what he had to do.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
After the surgery was completed successfully, they would definitely pay the surgeon generously.
###
The next morning, Jian Yiling didn't get up at the same time that she usually did.
Grandma Jian headed over to Jian Yiling's room and knocked on her door. There was no response.
"Darling, did you oversleep?"
"Darling, Grandma is a little worried about you. I'm coming in, okay?"
When Grandma Jian heard no reply, she opened the door and headed inside.
Jian Yiling's room was entirely pink. She had a large princess bed. The large bed made her body appear smaller as she had curled up into a ball. Her blankets had been wrapped up around her.
Grandma Jian hurried forward and lifted some of the blankets off Jian Yiling. She was shocked when she touched Jian Yiling's forehead.
"Why is it so hot?"
Grandma Jian started to shout in a panic: "Yumin! Old man! Yumin! Come over here!"

Jian Yumin was in the room next door. When Grandma Jian had called for him, he had been sleeping in. However, when he heard Grandma Jian's voice, he immediately ran out of his room with his dark gray nightgown. He didn't even have time to put on his slippers.
"Yumin, Yiling had a fever! She's burning up!"
Fever?
Jian Yumin hurried forward and picked Jian Yiling up from her blankets.
As he was in a rush, he grabbed a blanket that had been wrapped around Jian Yiling's body when he picked her up.
"Tell the chauffeur to get ready to drive to the hospital."
1
Jian Yumin ordered as he carried Jian Yiling downstairs.
"Ugh..."
When Jian Yiling felt that someone was carrying her, she began to resist in her half-asleep and half-awake state.
"Shhh... Be good. It's your brother. You're having a fever. I'm taking you to the hospital. Don't be scared. I'm not going to bully you."
Jian Yumin assumed that he had left a bad impression on Jian Yiling. He thought that was the reason why she resisted him.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Whilst he carried Jian Yiling to the car, Jian Yumin attempted to comfort her.
Grandma Jian hastily followed after him. She couldn't care whether or not Grandpa Jian kept up with her or not. She insisted on the chauffeur to drive to the hospital as fast as possible.
It didn't matter how fast he drove. She would pay up all the violation tickets and fines that racked up.
Although Jian Yumin held Jian Yiling in his arms, his mind was still not at peace. Jian Yiling had her burrows tightly together and a heavy look on her face.
His sister was lighter than he expected. He felt that if he held her any tighter, he would accidentally snap her fragile body.
This was the first time that she didn't cry when he held her. However, he would probably prefer her to be crying than to be sick.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor had told them that it was a common cold. She had a high degree of fever of 39.5 degrees Celsius and developed gastroenteritis.
The doctor immediately prescribed medicine for Jian Yiling and hooked her up to a drip.
It took a while for Jian Yiling's burrows to gradually loosen. However, her small face was still pale and bloodless.
