Chapter 191: Trust in Eldest Brother

"Shiyun! You don't have to worry anymore! I managed to borrow the money that we need!" Aunt Mo cried out in excitement.
"Oh? Where did you get the money from?" There was excitement in Mo Shiyun's voice. However, at the same time, there was an element of worry.
"Don't worry about it. It's not from a loan shark. I just... I just borrowed money from a friend."
"For real?"
"Yeah, for real! Let's just take this money and file a lawsuit against that bastard! I heard that if we win the lawsuit, the money will be refunded to us anyways. If that's the case, this money can be saved for your college tuition. You don't have to work so hard anymore!"
"Mhmm!" The overcast expression on Mo Shiyun's face cleared away. "I'll return the money when I get a job!"
Immediately after the conversation, Mo Shiyun contacted Qiu Yizhen. She had the money to solve the problem now.
With the money that her mother borrowed, all that she needed was a reliable lawyer. The lawyer could make sure that the divorce would go through smoothly.
The odds for the divorce to pass through were very high. As long as they could provide enough evidence that He Jianjun and Mo Huiqin had been living separately for several years, that would be sufficient for the court to order a divorce. On top of that, He Jianjun had never met his obligations of being a father.
Furthermore, He Jianjun didn't have the money to hire a good lawyer.

After contacting Qiu Yizhen, Mo Shiyun looked at her contact list. Her eyes fell on Jian Yunnao's name. After she paused for a moment, she clicked on his name.
She started to type out a message.
[The results of the chemistry competition just came out. Jian Yiling came first. I'm not sure whether it's my place to say this, but I think that it isn't good to pamper her too much. There's a fine line between what's right and wrong. Of course, I'm an outsider. Thus, I shouldn't be saying much.]

Mo Shiyun and Jian Yunnao both knew what Jian Yiling's grades in chemistry were like.
After waiting for quite some time, Mo Shiyun still didn't receive a reply from Jian Yunnao.
However, Jian Yunnao had already read the message from Mo Shiyun.
If he were the person that he was a few months ago, he would have immediately believed Mo Shiyun.
However, after the lesson that he learned last time, he knew that he shouldn't believe in Mo Shiyun's words right away.
As of now, Jian Yunnao was in Jian Yuncheng's study. Jian Yuncheng's study was quite spacious. There was enough room for two desks.
Jian Yuncheng was wearing a black suit. The overall aura that he gave out was serious and solemn.
Jian Yunnao passed his phone over to Jian Yuncheng. Jian Yuncheng had been burying his head in his work.

Jian Yuncheng took a short glance at the contents of the conversation before he sneered. He looked up and asked Jian Yunnao: "So, what do you think she's trying to say?"
Mo Shiyun's message was a bit ambiguous. However, the phrase 'It isn't good to pamper her too much' had quite some intent behind them.
Jian Yunnao lowered his head. He knew what Mo Shiyun was trying to say. However, he didn't want to say it out loud.
After he was silent for quite some time, Jian Yunnao expressed his thoughts, "She's trying to say that Yiling didn't get first place in the chemistry competition based on her own skills. She's implying that someone from the Jian family helped her behind the scenes. Namely, you or our parents."
There was a bitter taste in his mouth. However, he finally expressed his thoughts.
"Then, I'll tell you very clearly. I did not interfere with the chemistry competition. Nor did, our parents and grandparents. Do you believe in me or do you believe in her?"
"I believe in you."
The choice was clear for Jian Yunnao. It was an easy decision to decide between Mo Shiyun, who had already lost his trust, and his eldest brother, Jian Yuncheng.
However, at the moment he made his choice, his heart still ached.
The reason for this was because the image he had of Mo Shiyun had been completely shattered. She was no longer the perfect person that he had imagined her to be.

Upon hearing Jian Yunnao's reply, Jian Yuncheng picked up Jian Yunnao's phone and sent a message to Mo Shiyun:
[What do you mean by pampering and there's a fine line between right and wrong? What happened?]
Mo Shiyun didn't know that the person who replied to her was Jian Yuncheng. She assumed that the person who replied was still Jian Yunnao.
When Mo Shiyun saw the message, she was confused for a second.
Usually, Jian Yunnao would understand the words that her message implied. However, today, he asked her to explain herself.
Mo Shiyun hesitated for a moment before she replied:
[Nothing much. Are you feeling better now?]
When Jian Yuncheng saw the message that Mo Shiyun sent, he had an expression of mockery.
She only dared to say something halfway. Now that he asked her to explain herself, she was too afraid to do so.
Jian Yuncheng decided to let Jian Yunnao reply to Mo Shiyun.

Jian Yunnao's expression was slightly bitter and agonized. At the same time, it appeared as though he was laughing at himself.
It didn't matter what happened in the last few months. Once upon a time, this was the girl who he had trusted and admired. However, were his eyes blind?
Jian Yunnao replied, [I'm fine.]
The reply was simple and only contained two words.
When Mo Shiyun saw Jian Yunnao's message, she didn't know how to continue the conversation.
As she stared at his succinct reply, her originally beautiful and bright face became clouded.
###
Gradually, everyone in the Jian family heard that Jian Yiling had won a prize in the chemistry competition.
However, this didn't come as a big surprise to the family.
Ever since Jian Yiling was young, she had been incredibly smart. Her intelligence had been displayed in numerous ways.
Furthermore, she used to love staying in her second brother's laboratory. She loved to watch him conduct experiments and often chased after him to ask questions.

The two siblings could stay in the laboratory for an entire day.
However, as Jian Yiling grew older, she had started to become unmotivated to study.
When Jian Yiling started refusing to study, the Jian family didn't say much. They didn't want to force her to study. Furthermore, they didn't want to restrict her freedom. If she didn't like studying, it was okay for her to not study.
However, what the Jian family didn't know was that Jian Yiling had listened to her second aunt's words. He Yan had told her to not focus on her studies.

In the original novel, Jian Yiling had believed in He Yan's words. She had never doubted her second aunt.

For the past few days, Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan had wanted the Old Jian Residence. They wanted to see Jian Yiling. However, they didn't have a reason to visit her.

And now, they could finally visit her. They could use the excuse of celebrating Jian Yiling's results for the chemistry competition.
Immediately, the two of them went with Jian Yuncheng to the Old Jian Residence.
By the time they arrived, it was already 7 o'clock. Jian Yiling had already finished her dinner and returned to her room.
When Jian Shuxing saw Grandma Jian, he asked in a courteous voice, "Mother, is Yiling in her study room?"
"What's the matter?" Grandma Jian asked. She wasn't surprised to see the three of them. However, she pretended to act as though she didn't know the reason for their visit.

"We heard that Yiling won a prize in the chemistry competition. We bought her a few gifts and came over to congratulate her."
"Oh. But my darling is very busy. She doesn't have much time." Grandma Jian replied.
"Mother..." Jian Shuxing dragged out his words. There was a clear implication that he was begging for forgiveness.
He knew that his mother was intentionally embarrassing him. However, there was nothing that Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan could do. They could only listen to Grandma Jian.
"Go and knock on the door yourself. I am old. It takes too much effort to walk up the stairs."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yuncheng rushed up the stairs. He took big steps. He knocked on the door when he reached Jian Yiling's study.
"Come in."
Jian Yiling's voice called out from inside the room. Her voice was naturally sweet and soft.
Jian Yuncheng slowly opened the door. He saw his sister's petite figure leaning over various papers. His heartstrings were tugged.

Upon opening the door, Jian Yiling saw Jian Yuncheng. She looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
Jian Yuncheng was wearing his usual dark attire. The expression on his face was somewhat gloomy as well. His eyebrows were knitted tightly together and his eyes seemed to have a certain depth in them.
He appeared as though he had a lot on his mind.
"Yiling," Jian Yuncheng started. His deep voice called out Jian Yiling's name.
"Mhmm," Jian Yiling responded. After acknowledging his presence, Jian Yiling went back to doing her own work.
"Congratulations on coming first place in the chemistry competition," Jian Yuncheng continued.
"Thank you," Jian Yiling replied.
Jian Yiling didn't know the reason behind Jian Yuncheng's arrival. She didn't know how to respond if he asked her about the surveillance. Due to those reasons, she decided to get along with Jian Yuncheng the same way as she had before.
Jian Yuncheng felt that there was a certain distance that had developed between them.
Although she didn't ignore him, she didn't take the initiative to talk to him anymore. She had become polite and distant.

"Mother and Father want to celebrate that you came first in the chemistry competition. Do you want something in particular?"
"Nope, I don't. Thank you." Jian Yiling replied with a soft voice. Achieving good results wasn't something that needed to be celebrated. To Jian Yiling, doing well in academics was a way to represent her value.
However, for Jian Yuncheng, he felt as though Jian Yiling's responses to him had become formulaic. It wasn't that she was impatient with him, but rather, she didn't have much to say to him.
Behind the formulaic nature of her replies was distance.
However, Jian Yuncheng continued to speak, "Mother and Father are downstairs right now. Mother brought you a few things."
After a long pause, Jian Yiling stopped what she was doing. She got up and followed him downstairs.
Downstairs in the living room, Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan were gazing intently at the stairs.
Upon seeing the figure of Jian Yiling, the couple's eyes filled with guilt.
She was once their most treasured child. However, during this period of time, she had suffered a lot due to their mistakes.
When Jian Yiling felt the gaze of Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan, she stopped in her tracks.
However, for her, such gazes were strange and unfamiliar.

This made Jian Yiling unsure of how to respond. Therefore, she decided to stop and stare back at them.
"My darling, come over to Grandma."
Grandma Jian's voice interrupted Jian Yiling's thoughts. Grandma Jian had also relieved Jian Yiling of her predicament.
Jian Yiling quickly walked over to Grandma Jian. Upon reaching her, she sat down next to her.
However, Jian Yiling's series of actions were unquestionably different from before. It appeared as though she was still trying to maintain her distance from the three of them.
This was a heavy blow to their hearts.
"Yiling, Yunnao's surgery will be done in a few days. After the surgery is completed, we will tell him the truth. We will make sure that he apologizes to you. We will make sure to compensate you properly."
Jian Shuxing had tears in his eyes as he said this.
His heart ached as he looked at the fragile face of his daughter.
Jian Yiling didn't know how to reply to such a statement. After deliberating for a while, she replied in a calm tone:
"You don't need to compensate me. It's good if his hand is better."

Wen Nuan held back the tears in her eyes and asked: "Yiling, is it okay if we bring you back home?"
After asking her question, Wen Nuan gazed at Jian Yiling with hopeful eyes. She waited for her daughter's response.
Jian Yuncheng and Jian Shuxing were also waiting for Jian Yiling's answer.
Of course, Grandma Jian didn't want her granddaughter to leave. However, at this moment, Grandma Jian didn't say anything.
If her granddaughter wanted to go home, she wouldn't stop her. It was her choice.
In the end, she just wanted her granddaughter to be happy.
Jian Yiling was silent for a while. However, in the end, she still said her thoughts:
"I want to stay here. Is that okay?"

Jian Yiling looked at Grandma Jian. Her voice was quiet and cautious.

"Of course that's fine. You can stay here as long as you want. In the future, I will leave the Old Jian Residence to you. You can live here for the rest of your life." Grandma Jian answered immediately. There was a tinge of pain in her heart.
Grandma Jian hadn't forgotten about the time that Jian Yiling had been sent here by her parents.
She had been abandoned by once already. She was scared that she would be abandoned once again.
1
Jian Yiling was her darling. She could always call this place her home. She would always have somewhere to come back to.
All of a sudden, Grandma Jian had a hint of fear in her heart. She was getting old. If she passed away, who would protect Yiling in her place?

###
The next morning, Jian Yunnao officially checked into the institution. Jian Yuncheng and Wen Nuan brought him to his ward in the institution.
The person in charge of the reception was Cheng Yi. Originally, this task wasn't assigned to Cheng Yi, however, Cheng Yi had requested to attend.
Seventeen-year-old Jian Yunnao's face had finally gained some luster. He had been depressed for months on end.
However, he still appeared to look very different from the once spirited young man that he was.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
His young and handsome face no longer had smiles. The past few months had been a difficult period for him.
"Hello, Mr. Yunnao. I believe we've already met before, so I believe that there is no need for me to introduce myself."
Cheng Yi briefly explained the patient treatment process to Jian Yunnao. He also mentioned the rules of the institution.
"Now, let's do some basic checks."
After saying that, Cheng Yi called his assistant over to give Jian Yunnao an injection.
Then, he instructed Jian Yunnao to take off his pants.
"Take off my pants? Why do I need to take off my pants?" Jian Yunnao asked. He was quite puzzled.
"That's because one of these injections is going to be on your buttocks. It's an intramuscular injection."
Cheng Yi picked up a syringe. There was a standard smile on his face.
"However, it's my hand that's injured." Jian Yunnao replied with a frown.
"Of course I know that you injured your hand. However, just because you hurt your hand, that doesn't mean that we're only going to do injections on your hand right? Mr. Yunnao, please trust us on our professionalism."

There was no other option for Jian Yunnao other than trusting Cheng Yi.
Thus, Jian Yunnao turned around and said to his mother:
"Mother... Could you go outside for a minute?"
He didn't want his mother to see him get an injection into his buttocks.
Wen Nuan decided to respect her son's privacy. Once she left the room, Jian Yunnao turned his eyes to his brother.
"I'm your eldest brother," Jian Yuncheng replied with a blank expression.
It was evident that Jian Yuncheng didn't plan to leave.
In the face of his brother's determination, Jian Yunnao had no choice but to strip down.
Cheng Yi picked up a huge syringe and gave Jian Yunnao's buttocks a shot.

The injection was incredibly painful. Jian Yunnao's entire face had become distorted.
Previously, he had never gotten an intramuscular injection. He didn't know that it'd be so painful. Furthermore, the pain lasted for quite some time.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Even after a long time had passed, the pain didn't ease.
It was so painful that he couldn't even turn around. The only thing that he could do was lie down.
After Cheng Yi saw Jian Yunnao's twisted expression, he briefly gave the other staff members a few tasks. Then, he left the ward with a serious expression on his face.
However, not long after walking out of the ward, Cheng Yi could no longer hide the smile on his face.
He just so happened to be caught by Luo Xiuen. She had also come by to watch the fun.
"What happened? Why are you smiling so much?"
"Nothing happened Sister En. This is just a normal smile."
"You're saying nothing happened? I know all those habits of yours. Are you still trying to lie to me?"

Seeing that there was no way to hide what he did from her, Cheng Yi whispered his deeds to Luo Xiuen. He told her that he had done an injection in Jian Yunnao's buttocks.
"Oh my god! Why didn't you say so? How can one injection be enough? Let's go and get some more!"

As soon as Luo Xiuen heard the news from Cheng Yi, she started to head towards the ward.
Cheng Yi quickly stopped Luo Xiuen in her tracks, "Sister En, please don't be rash! You can't do these things often. Jian Yunnao isn't stupid. Furthermore, his brother and his mother are still there. Furthermore, he's quite valuable right now. We have to leave him so Jian Yiling can perform her operation. After the operation succeeds, Jian Yiling's reputation in the industry will soar."
Luo Xiuen paused for a moment and thought about Cheng Yi's words. She felt his words made sense.
"Hmmm... I guess so. I'll let him go for now," Luo Xiuen said. However, after a moment, she continued, "But as long as well don't hurt his hands, isn't it fine? Furthermore, no one will know if we don't get caught. He can still suffer a little, no?"
"Sister En, what are you planning to do?'
Cheng Yi had a bad feeling about Luo Xiuen's plans.
"Nothing much. I just remembered that Professor Liu used to study Chinese medicine."
"Sister En... Are you...." Cheng Yi trailed off. He seemed to know what Luo Xiuen was plotting.

"Let's combine Chinese and Western medicine! It'd be good for him!" Luo Xiuen declared proudly.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi's eyes that were underneath his gold-rimmed glasses lit up. "I've heard that Codonopsis root, Angelica Sinensis, and milk vetch roots are good for one's health. They're often put in tonic soups."
The way that Cheng Yi spoke was cultured and serious. It didn't appear that he was suggesting anything bad.
"Psh. You don't know anything. Let's add Coptis Chinensis. I've heard that centipedes are also very good for the human body. It's also often used in traditional Chinese medicine."
Cheng Yi wasn't sure about the effectiveness of such ingredients. However, he knew that Coptis Chinensis was very bitter. Extremely bitter.
"Oh, you're right! Sister En is definitely right!" Cheng Yi cried out. He started to flatter Luo Xiuen.

"Also, remember to not tell Yiling about this!" Luo Xiuen reminded.
"Don't worry," Cheng Yi replied. For this matter, both of them were in a mutual understanding.
"Then, what are you waiting for? Let's go and find Professor Liu!"
Luo Xiuen began to drag Cheng Yi away.
"Sister En, slow down... Please slow down."

As he was being dragged along, Cheng Yi had to scurry after Luo Xiuen.

Jian Yunnao's admission had finally been done.
"I'm going to take away your phone and computer," Jian Yuncheng told Jian Yunnao. He wasn't asking his brother for permission. But rather, he was merely telling him.
As of this moment, Jian Yuncheng had already taken away the electronic devices that were previously next to Jian Yunnao.
"Why are you taking my phone and computer away?"
Jian Yunnao's buttocks still hurt. Due to that reason, he could only lie down on the bed and speak to his eldest brother.
"I want you to focus on your health. I've bought you a few books. You can read them if you get bored," Jian Yuncheng told him.
There was a stack of books on the bedside table next to Jian Yunnao.
"Okay."
Although Jian Yunnao wanted his phone and computer back, he didn't dare to disobey Jian Yuncheng's instructions.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Furthermore, his operation was finally within sight. His heart could finally rest assured. He didn't need his phone and computer to constantly distract him from the world anymore.
After Jian Yuncheng finished speaking to Jian Yunnao, he left the research institution. As soon as he got onto the car, he called Huo Yu.
Huo Yu was half asleep. He muttered, "Oh my god, Brother Yuncheng. Do you know that it's in the middle of the night over here?"
It was noon on Jian Yuncheng's side. However, Huo Yu lived in a different time zone. As a result, it was in the middle of the night over there.
"Release the information that I sent you before."
"Brother Yuncheng. No, boss. Actually, my dear ancestor. That matter has been left there for a few days already. Can't you wait for a few more hours? I just want to sleep a bit more. Can't you wait until I wake up?"
The voice on the other side of the phone was crying out in grief. He just wanted his rest.
"No. Send it right now," Jian Yuncheng requested.
