“But you used to say that if I wanted to get married, I had to ask for your consent.”
Jian Yiling said this when she was a child. Jian Yuncheng still remembered these words.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling froze for a moment. Those images appeared in her mind.
At that time, Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing took the four of them to a relative’s wedding.
When they returned back home, she asked her parents what a wedding was. She also asked them why people got married.
And somehow, the topic of conversation strayed to her brothers getting married.
Then, she ended up ‘ordering’ her brothers that they had to listen to her. She had to agree and like her future sister-in-law before her brothers got married.
“I was young and ignorant back then. You should not count on those words,” Jian Yiling softly replied.
When she was younger, she believed that her brothers belonged to her. Naturally, they would have to listen to her.
However, Jian Yiling no longer thought this way.
“It still counts,” Jian Yuncheng insisted. “I care about your opinion. Your opinion is very important.’
Jian Yiling did not know how to respond to Jian Yuncheng’s words.
She merely stared at Jian Yunchengwho was still driving.
The look on his face was serious.
He was serious about what he said.
Upon realizing this, a strange feeling rushed into Jian Yiling’s heart. She did not know what this feeling was. It felt foreign and it felt complicated.
The rest of the trip was completed in silence.
When he reached the neighborhood Jian Yiling lived in, Jian Yuncheng stopped the car.
They got off the car together. Jian Yuncheng sent Jian Yiling upstairs. He wanted to see her enter the apartment before he left.
However, halfway there, Jian Yiling suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Jian Yuncheng asked.
“Eldest… Eldest brother…” Jian Yiling stammered out with a bit of difficulty.
As she said this, she did not dare to look Jian Yuncheng in the eyes.
When Jian Yuncheng heard this, he instantly froze.
His sister called him eldest brother .
She acknowledged him as her ‘eldest brother’.
The last time he heard her say those words was five years ago.
Even though it was five years later, she finally acknowledged him.
However, what Jian Yuncheng did not know was that the words ‘eldest brother’ were not missing for merely five years. Instead, it was for a lifetime.
In her previous life, even when she died, she refused to acknowledge him as her brother.
This was because she did not see them as her relatives. She could not trust them. They had all abandoned her.
Jian Yuncheng walked over to Jian Yiling and slightly bent down. He embraced Jian Yiling in his arms.
“Yiling,” he said softly. His voice came from deep inside his throat.
‘Eldest brother… Choose someone you like. As long as she’s… A good person… I will like her if you… Like her.
Jian Yiling stammered as she struggled to get out the words she wanted to say.
After she grew up, Jian Yiling grew out of her bossy phase. She did not want to interfere with her brother’s relationships.
“Okay,” Jian Yuncheng answered.
Although Jian Yiling refused to participate in the competition, the old man with lung cancer was still admitted into Lahaisen Hospital.
As the notice had already gone out, it was bad to go back on their words.
The old man’s surname was Li. He was an incredibly rich man.
He also had a son and daughter. Both of them had promising careers and loved their father dearly.
When their father was diagnosed with lung cancer, his children desperately wanted to save his life. They did not care about how much money was spent. They just wanted their father to live a few more years.
However, all the doctors and specialists they consulted with advised them against surgery. The risk of surgery was way too high.
But if the surgery was not performed, the old man would only have two months left in his life.
If the surgery was done, there was still a slither of hope.
The old man wanted to take this gamble. He wanted to see his grandchildren grow up. He wanted to see his grandchildren get married..
