From Sidekick to Bigshot
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
After Jian Yuncheng finished talking to Aunt An, his phone rang. This time, it was an international call.
When Jian Yuncheng answered the call, the person on the other side asked:
âBrother, how is Yiling doing?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was a young manâs voice. His voice was clear and sleek.
âEvery time you call, the first thing you ask about is your sister. Why donât you just call her instead?â Jian Yuncheng replied rhetorically.
The young man on the other end of the line was his second brother, Jian Yunmo.
As he was studying abroad, he hadnât heard about the matters that were going on at home.
Even if he knew, he couldnât do anything about it. It would be better for him to just focus on studying.
Unlike Jian Yunchengâs cold and stern personality, Jian Yunmo doted on his younger siblings much more. He cared about Jian Yiling the most. As long as she wanted something, he would give it to her.
For a long time, Jian Yuncheng had always played the bad cop and Jian Yunmo had played the good cop.
When Yiling was younger, she would hug her second brotherâs legs whilst saying that her eldest brother was a bad guy.
She was confident that her second brother would back her up. She knew Jian Yuncheng couldnât do anything about her as long as Jian Yunmo was there.
The other end of the line was silent for a moment. Then he said:
âBrother, I canât come back for Christmas. I bought some gifts for Yiling and the rest of you. Iâm going to send them ahead of time because international delivery is quite unreliable. When you receive the gifts, hold onto them for me. When Christmas comes by, please give it to Yiling.â
âI think the main point here is you buying a gift for Yiling. Buying gifts for the rest of us were probably done in passing.â Jian Yuncheng said. He completely exposed his younger brother.
âAhem, ahem. Brother, please donât accuse me like this. I prepared your gifts with great care as well.â
âOkay, Iâll pretend that you have then.â Jian Yuncheng replied. He didnât want to tease his brother too much.
Jian Yunmo asked Jian Yuncheng, âIs everything okay at home? When I called Mom a couple of days ago, she seemed to be in low spirits.â
âItâs fine. Sheâs been feeling a little sick lately. However, itâs something small. You donât need to worry about it.â
âThatâs good. How are Yilingâs studies? Does she have trouble with anything? I havenât seen her post anything on Wechat recently.â
âShe...â Jian Yuncheng paused for a moment, âYou should ask her yourself. Sheâll be happy if you talk to her.â
âAh... I... I rather not.â Jian Yunmo replied.
âSuit yourself. Just take care of yourself. Donât worry about us. Iâm here to take care of everyone else.â
âBrother, you should also take care of your own body. Donât stay up late every day. You always have a pale face. If you keep staying up late, you may eventually look more ten years older than me!â
Jian Yunmo was only three years younger than Jian Yuncheng.
âNah. Just make sure that you donât look older than me.â
After Jian Yuncheng said that, he hung up the phone. He didnât give his second brother a chance to retort.
After chatting with his second brother, Jian Yuncheng walked out of his study. He walked into his fatherâs study and called his mother and Jian Yunnao over as well.
âYuncheng, whatâs the matter?â Wen Nuan asked in confusion.
âThereâs something I need to tell you. Mother and father, please sit down and listen.â
After he said that to Wen Nuan, he turned around and looked at Jian Yunnao.
âBrother, whatâs the matter?â Upon seeing the way his brother looked at him, Jian Yunnao felt that something was wrong.
âWhy donât you talk about what you think about todayâs incident?â Jian Yuncheng asked Jian Yunnao. He wanted his younger brother to speak first.
