Chapter 226: After the Operation (3)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Upon seeing Jian Yiling, Jian Yumin also rushed forward, "Crybaby. Why are you only greeting Yujie? What about me?"
Recently, due to his busy schedule, Jian Yumin rarely had the chance to return to the Old Jian Residence at night. Even if he did, it would be around midnight. As a result, he didn't have a chance to speak to Jian Yiling.
Upon hearing Yiling greet Yumin, he started to feel quite unhappy. Why was Yujie called brother? What about him?
If it were according to age, shouldn't he be the one who was greeted first?
Jian Yumin started to become jealous.
However, compared to Jian Yuncheng, Jian Yumin's jealousy was nothing. Jian Yuncheng's entire expression had darkened.

Jian Yuncheng was directly related to Jian Yiling by blood. However, he hadn't heard his sister call him eldest brother in a long time already.
At the same time, there was a peculiar feeling in Jian Yunnao's heart.
He didn't know how to describe that feeling.
Previously, he hated Jian Yiling. He felt that there was no hope for his hand. Due to this reason, he didn't think about anything else.

As a matter of fact, he tried to forget all things that he had done with his sister in the past. All their childhood memories.
The only emotion that he had left behind was hatred.
However, the operation had been successful. There was still hope in his life.
Due to this reason, the emotions and memories that he had buried had started to appear again.
Before that day when she had lost her temper and pushed him down the stairs, their relationship had been fairly good.
He had been willing to protect her and take care of her.
He had felt that she had been unreasonable to forbid him from interacting with Mo Shiyun.
However, if he were to think about it calmly, it was also because she cared about him as a brother. That was the reason why she didn't want him to get too close to girls that were the same age as him.
But at that time, he was quite fond of Mo Shiyun. He had a good impression of her as a person.
Due to that reason, he had felt that his sister's behavior was incredibly rude and unreasonable.
However, now that he reflected back on the situation, they could have communicated better.

Even if his sister wanted to argue with him, he could have found a better way to explain the situation. He didn't need to start arguing with her immediately.
Not to mention that his affection towards Mo Shiyun had now disappeared.
As the emotional bond with Mo Shiyun no longer existed anymore, Jian Yunnao tried to objectively look at the incident. He realized that they should have never fought in the first place. It was such a stupid thing to do.
Even though he felt that Yiling shouldn't have argued with him, he had also argued back.
When it came to these things, it took more than one person to start a dispute. Their argument had been the anger of two people. Not just one.
Now that he reflected back, he realized that humans were such strange creatures sometimes.
He had declared that he would hate her for an eternity... However now...
Jian Yunnao gazed at Jian Yiling, Jian Yujie and Jian Yumin.
Over on the other side of the room, Jian Yujie was speaking to Jian Yiling, "Yiling, ignore my brother. He's just jealous."
If Jian Yumin was upset, Jian Yujie would be happy.
In the past, he could never win against his brothers. However, everything was different now!

"Who are you calling jealous?"
As his thoughts had been exposed, Jian Yujie immediately wanted to let his brother know the sinister and dangerous side of society.
As Jian Yumin was tall and muscular, he pushed aside Jian Yujie to stand closest to Jian Yiling.
Compared to his peers, Jian Yujie wasn't considered skinny. However, in contrast to his brother, he still seemed like a small boy.
Jian Yumin spent his days practicing dance and working out. As a result, he had biceps, abdominal and pectoral muscles.
In the face of his brother's bullying, Jian Yujie couldn't do anything at all.
He could only stare at his brother with resentful eyes. However, the damage from his stare was negligible.
Jian Yumin lowered his head and said to Jian Yiling, "Crybaby. You must be fair today. If you call me Brother Yumin, I won't take anything less than that."
1
Jian Yumin started to act shamelessly.
Chapter 227: Alienation (1)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Grandma Jian immediately took a step forward and pulled Jian Yiling over to her side, "Why are you acting so shamelessly in front of your sister? Do you want my darling to call you brother? Then you need to be nice to her. You're always bullying her. Why would she call you brother?"
Grandma Jian assumed that the reason why Jian Yumin kept calling Jian Yiling 'crybaby' was because he wanted to embarrass her. She assumed that Jian Yumin did not like Jian Yiling.
Although Grandma Jian directed the words at Jian Yumin, it sounded like her words were aimed at a lot of people in the room. Several of them felt like they had just got scolded.
Upon hearing Grandma Jian's words, Jian Yumin felt dejected and depressed.
Ahhh... It seemed like all her grandsons were adopted. Only Jian Yiling was her precious grandchild. They were all picked up from somewhere else...
1
To the side, Jian Yujie started to laugh up his sleeve. Jian Yumin had pushed him out of the way, however, Grandma Jian had punished him for it. Serves him right.
After this, Jian Shuxing also came forward. He looked at Jian Yiling with burning eyes and tentatively asked, "Yiling, how are your studies recently?"
As Jian Yiling had moved to live at the Old Jian Residence, Jian Shuxing knew little about how his daughter was faring these days.
1
Whenever they saw each other, he didn't know how to ask. As a result, he could only ask her about her studies.
However, Jian Yiling didn't get to reply. Instead, Grandma Jian interrupted, "Yiling is studying well! You don't need to worry about her. It makes it seem like I only know how to spoil my granddaughter. Do you think that I'm unable to teach her? It seems like someone forgot who brought him up."

No one dared to comment on that.
She had raised all three of her sons!
"Mother... That's not what I meant..." Jian Shuxing said. There was nothing that Jian Shuxing could do in the face of his mother.
"Alright then," Grandma Jian said. She finally let go of the matter and allowed Jian Shuxing to speak to Jian Yiling.
Jian Shuxing continued to speak softly to Jian Yiling, "Yiling, I plan to take a few days off work. I'll take you and your brothers out for some fun. How does that sound?"
Jian Shuxing was unable to convince Grandma Jian to let Jian Yiling leave the Old Jian Residence. And thus, he decided to use a roundabout tactic to find a chance to spend some time together with his daughter. He wanted to ease the rift between them.
Jian Yiling looked at Jian Shuxing's face. His face looked mature and refined.
However, Jian Yiling's mood had changed subtly after looking at Jian Shuxing. She didn't know whether or not it was because of the dream she had yesterday.
She avoided Jian Shuxing's gaze and looked at Jian Yunnao who was lying on the hospital bed.
At the same time, Jian Yunnao had also directed his gaze at Jian Yiling.
After their eyes met, Jian Yiling calmly moved her eyes away again.

This calmness was unexpectedly piercing.
The eyes of Jian Yiling that Jian Yunnao saw were devoid of warmth. It was like the calm surface of the water. There were no ripples.
She was incredibly quiet. It was like the first time when she had accepted his anger.
Jian Yiling then replied to Jian Shuxing, "I need to study. There's no time."
When facing Jian Shuxing, Jian Yiling didn't know how to explain her feelings.
She knew that this was the father of the body that she was occupying right now.
However, 'father' was just a distant and cold word to her.
The only thing that she could do was answer his questions according to her rational mind.
Indeed, Jian Yiling didn't have time these days. Even after Jian Yunnao's surgery was over, there was still a lot of work lined up for her to do.
"Ahh, that's fine. That's okay. I'll wait until you're free," Jian Shuxing said in a hurry.
In the past, his daughter loved going out. She always tugged at his arm and said that she wanted to go out on the weekends.
Chapter 228: Alienation (2)

However, usually, he was busy with work. He had limited time for vacations.
He had never expected his daughter to be the one to tell him that she's busy.
It didn't matter whether or not his daughter was actually busy or whether she was just avoiding them.
Their relationship was not the same as it used to be.
There was a gap between them now. A gap that could not be easily overcome.
As Jian Shuxing thought about this, his heart began to feel sour.
He Yan was happy to see the scene in front of her.
Jian Yiling's change had made her seem like a different person. This was not a good thing for her. The Jian Yiling of today was not as easy to control as before. She had become a little hedgehog that would prick people.
However, the relationship between Jian Yiling and her family had become weaker. This meant that the things that she had done before were effective. This was the result that she wanted to see.
Wen Nuan walked up to Jian Yiling. She had a soft and bitter smile on her face.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
She gazed at Jian Yiling before saying, "Yiling, I still owe you an apology."
Wen Nuan had finally said the words that had been stuck in her heart.
Once again, they were in a hospital room. Once again, Jian Yunnao was lying on a hospital bed.
Wen Nuan finally said the apology that she owed to Jian Yiling.
She said the apology even though Jian Yunnao was still unaware of the meaning behind the apology.
She said the apology even though it was late.
There were only two people in the room who didn't understand the apology.
One of them was Jian Yumin. He didn't know about the situation that had happened. Jian Yujie and Jian Yiling had been intentionally hiding the matter from him.
The other person was Jian Yunnao.
He assumed that his mother had done something to make Yiling sad.
In the face of Wen Nuan's apology, Jian Yiling didn't reply.

This apology... Maybe it should not have been made to her.
Jian Yiling understood the situation.
And thus, she decided to not respond.
By refusing to give a response, Jian Yiling had run a sword through Wen Nuan's heart.
However, when Jian Yiling took a look at the pained expression on Wen Nuan's face, she quickly said:
"You don't need to apologize to me."
Jian Yiling's words fell into the ears of Wen Nuan and the rest of the family. However, they had interpreted her words completely differently.
They interpreted Jian Yiling's words as her alienation and resentment towards them.
Wen Nuan's expression was incredibly painful. However, she endured the bitterness and the pain in her heart. She remembered what Grandma Jian had told her.
Jian Shuxing hurried forward and hugged his wife. He tried to soothe her emotions.
1
He knew how sad his wife felt at this moment. He was in the same boat as her.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Jian Yiling didn't know how to deal with the scene in front of her. She turned her head around and looked at Jian Yujie.
Jian Yujie immediately smiled and attempted to direct the conversation away to a different topic, "Yiling, I've learned a new magic trick recently! I'll show it to you. Look carefully! Don't blink."
Jian Yiling nodded and looked at Jian Yujie.
Jian Yiling felt more relaxed when she was communicating with Jian Yujie and Jian Yumin.
And thus, she instinctively chose to talk to Jian Yujie.
She wasn't deliberately trying to escape anything. Rather, she just wanted to do things that she was more familiar with and used to doing.
Cheng Yi arrived at the ward. He helped Jian Yiling do the post-operative routine checkup on Jian Yunnao.
The reason for this was because of Jian Yiling's situation. Furthermore, Cheng Yi was afraid that it would be too exhausting for Jian Yiling to handle. And thus, he had volunteered himself to help her with the post-operative tasks.
As soon as he came in, he saw Jian Yiling. He happily greeted her:
"Hello, Yiling! You had time to come over today?"
As far as the Jian family knew, Cheng Yi and Jian Yiling were quite good friends. They had met each other in a game.

"Mhmm."
"After I finish the examination of Mr. Yunnao, why don't you come over with me to the office? Sister En misses you quite a bit."
"Okay."
Cheng Yi knew what Jian Yiling wanted. He knew that she wanted to work whenever she had time.

Instead of pacing around in the hospital room, Jian Yiling would much rather be doing her work.
Jian Shuxing greeted Cheng Yi very politely before he asked him about Dr. F.S. He was still incredibly curious about the person who had conducted the operation.
"Dr. Cheng, I would like to ask about Dr. F.S's whereabouts. The operation was performed to perfection. We would like to thank him in person."
Although this question was asked by Jian Shuxing, everyone else in the room was awaiting Cheng Yi's reply as well.
Of course, this included Jian Yunao who was lying on the hospital bed.
"Dr. Fu Shi has been busy lately. The only time that they had was the time that they performed the operation on Mr. Yunnao," Cheng Yi replied. As always, he smiled and responded politely.
Fu Shi... This was the first time that the Jian family had heard Dr. F.S's Chinese name.
It turned out that this mysterious top surgeon was called Fu Shi.
"When would Dr. F.S be available to talk? We would like to thank him in person. It wouldn't take up much time."
Cheng Yi smiled. The smile reached his eyes that were hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
"Then, would you happen to know Dr. F.S's interests and hobbies? Do you know whether he needs anything?"
Jian Shuxing continued to fire away questions.
He wanted to do something to express their gratitude towards Dr. F.S.
"I'm not too sure about their interests and hobbies," Cheng Yi replied. As he replied, he looked at Jian Yiling from the corner of his eye.
It was likely for anyone to assume that she was not connected to the operation. As a result, none of them knew that she was the person that they were discussing right now.
"Ahh, that's okay. Thank you still," Jian Shuxing said.
As of now, Jian Shuxing still could not think of a way to meet the doctor who performed the operation on his son.
###
Following this, Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng went and found Professor Xu. Once again, they expressed their intentions.
They wanted to thank Dr. F.S. They wanted to thank that person for saving their son/brother and giving him a new chance at life.
Professor Xu smiled before replying, "It's useless for you to come and talk to me about Dr. F.S. We are colleagues. I'm not Dr. F.S's superior."

Once again, Jian Yuncheng and Jian Shuxing received a disappointing reply.
"Then, is it okay if we give Dr. F.S more pay? On top of the original amount required?"
If they couldn't thank him in person, the only thing that they could do was give him additional pay.
"Of course," Professor Xu replied. It would be difficult for them to charge less. However, if the family of the patient was willing to pay more, they were more than happier to accept.
Professor Xu called over his assistant. He asked her to write the invoice for the Jian family.
After sending off the Jian family, Professor Xu held his laptop in his hands. His face was full of pride.
The operation was successful. Jian Yiling not only received the payment from the Jian family.
More importantly, she received fame. The operation introduced her name to the industry.
Dr. F.S's name was famous in the medical circle right now.
Even members of the research institution received benefits from Dr. F.S's success.
How could Professor Xu not be happy?
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
At this moment, Cheng Yi was browsing through applications on their official website, "Teacher, as soon as the news of the successful operation was released, the number of applications on our institution's website got doubled. Many of them requested for Jian Yiling to perform the operation."
"Yeah. Furthermore, most of these people are not from Hengyuan City. Some of them are even from overseas. This time, Yiling has really proved herself. However, for the time being, don't accept these applications. Let Yiling finish her work with you on the rare blood disease case."
Although Professor Xu was incredibly happy, he still didn't forget to take care of Jian Yiling's health.

After the operation, Jian Yiling had collapsed. Their little genius had quite a weak body. She needed time to recuperate.
Chapter 230: Charity Dinner (1)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A while later, Jian Yiling received a message from an agent of the person with who she had struck a deal with.
[Dr. F.S, my Master would like to meet you.]
Jian Yiling's reply to this message was brief and to the point: [Time and place.]
This person had already helped Jian Yiling twice. As a result, it was time for her to fulfill her side of the promise.
And thus, Jian Yiling was willing to abide by their demands without the slightest hesitation.
[This weekend. Ms. Qin is hosting a charity dinner. The invitation has been sent to your home address by express mail.]
The charity dinner hosted by Qin Shixuan's wife?
1
Initially, Qin Shixuan had invited Jian Yiling. However, back then, Jian Yiling had declined his invitation.
However, if that person wanted to meet her at the charity dinner, there was no reason for her to refuse.
[Okay.]
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
###
Qin Shixuan's wife hosted a charity dinner at one of the hotels that was under the Yu family's name. She invited all the prominent and charitable people in Hengyuan City.
The entire lobby of the hotel had been booked. Under the dazzling light, every guest who arrived was dressed up in splendid attire.
The reason for this was because this was hosted by a member of the Qin family. Ms. Qin had invited a lot of people to attend the charity dinner. Everyone who she invited turned up.
Three days ago, He Yan had also received an invitation to the charity dinner. She had her wishes fulfilled. However, as her husband had matters to deal with at work, she ended up dragging Jian Yumin to attend the dinner with her.
Jian Yumin had agreed to his mother's request. Although he was usually against his mother, He Yan was still his mother after all. Therefore, he was still willing to agree to any reasonable requests from her.
"Yumin, please remember to watch your words when you arrive. I've heard that someone very important is attending the charity dinner today."
That was the reason why she desperately wanted to attend the charity dinner. Not only to see Qin Shixuan and his wife, she always wanted to meet the old gentleman who was attending.
Today's trip was well worth it.
He Yan had dressed up very nicely today.
Back in the days, she had been a super popular actress for a while. Thus, her looks and temperament were not to be looked down upon.

Although she had raised three sons and was already fifty years old, her appearance made it seem like she looked like she was in her early forties. She had taken good care of herself.

Furthermore, Jian Yumin was also incredibly eye-catching. As he was dressed up in formal attire, many young ladies couldn't help but look at him.
Upon mingling around at the charity dinner, He Yan was greeted by many wives from prestigious families. Of course, He Yan was incredibly happy to respond to them.
In her spare time, He Yan couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the hotel. She wanted to see who was arriving at the event.
However, He Yan didn't see anyone important arrive. Instead, she saw Jian Yiling.
All of a sudden, He Yan's heart sank. Why was Jian Yiling here?
Could it be that Wen Nuan was here as well?
Before she attended the charity dinner, He Yan had asked around to see whether or not Wen Nuan had received an invitation. She had heard that Wen Nuan had told Ms. Qin her situation ahead of time to stop her from sending her an invitation. This was to avoid any potential embarrassment.
This was one of the reasons why He Yan disliked Wen Nuan.
They were both daughters-in-law of the Jian family. However, Wen Nuan's social circle and standing in society was evidently larger and more prominent than He Yan's. He Yan would kill to befriend someone like Ms. Qin.
In comparison, Wen Nuan had her own ways to contact and keep in touch with Ms. Qin.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
As soon as Jian Yumin saw Jian Yiling, his eyes lit up. He immediately headed over to Jian Yiling.
He Yan didn't stop him. Instead, she walked over to Jian Yiling as well.
In public, He Yan had to protect the Jian family's image.
