From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 1294: Uninvited Guests

“Mommy… Pretty too…” Jian Dan hastily added.

“How pretty?” Luo Xiuen asked.

“Auntie first, mommy second,” Jian Dan said as counted on his two plump fingers.

That sounded about right.

Even though Jian Dan was young, he already had a strong desire to not get beaten up.

“Well, that’s about right,” Luo Xiuen replied. Even though she didn’t care much about such comments, she still liked to hear her son compliment her occasionally.

Then, Luo Xiuen glanced at Jian Yujie who was making preparations for a performance.

In a moment, Jian Yujie was going to perform a magic show to liven up the atmosphere.

As a magician who had already made a name for himself in their circle. Jian Yujie did not care much about his name or performance fees. Rather, if the Jian family wanted him to perform anyone, he would happily perform magic tricks for everyone.

He learned magic not because of money or fame. Instead, he enjoyed learning new tricks and enjoyed seeing others fascinated by his performance.

Naturally, he especially liked to see his family smiling. This was when he felt happiest.

“Yujie, hurry up and get a girlfriend this year,” Luo Xiuen said. She suddenly had the urge to tell Jian Yujie to find a partner.

“Sister-in-law, I…” Jian Yujie stammered. The two magic prop balls in his hands rolled onto the ground.

......

“Look at what Jian Dan’s doing! If he can do it, why can’t you? I feel like Jian Dan is going to find a girlfriend before you do!” Luo Xiuen continued. This was how the connection formed in her mind.

It was true that the brains of highly intelligent people always moved faster and skipped steps.

“Sister-in-law, if I meet someone suitable, I will try my best...” Jian Yujie weakly responded.

“Not will try your best. You must try your best. Don’t learn from your oldest cousin. Don’t be single when you’re thirty years old.”

Whilst Luo Xiuen was speaking to Jian Yujie, she did not forget to mention Jian Yuncheng either.

Even though Jian Yuncheng was not present today, he also ended up being named for almost no reason whatsoever.

“Yes, yes,” Jian Yujie hurriedly promised.

“Well, if you meet someone like that, remember to tell the rest of us. If you can’t manage to get her affection, we will help you with it,” Luo Xiuen said to Jian Yujie. She seemed very concerned about her brother-in-law’s relationships.

After all, she was the wife of their eldest brother. With He Yan kicked out of the family, she was now the one who was worried about the marriage of Jian Yujie and Jian Yubo.

As the Jian family happily chatted away, a few unexpected guests appeared at the opening ceremony.

Qu Zhen and the renowned female tycoon Sheng Yingying appeared.

There was a simple smile on Qu Zhen’s face.

Sheng Yingying was beautifully dressed. Even though she was in her forties or fifties, the wrinkles on her face did not affect her aura in any way.

A white-haired man came in with Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying.

The old man’s build was thin and he wore a simple white cloth shirt. For some reason, he gave off an immortal vibe.

From the way Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying treated the old man, the old man did not seem like their subordinates.

As many people did not know the existence of the Loyalty Alliance, they did not know the relationship between these two people and Zhai Yunsheng. They assumed that Qu Zhen and Sheng Yingying were merely here to congratulate Zhai Yunsheng.

Sheng Yinying smiled at Zhai Yunsheng: “Young Master Zhai, long time no see. We’re here to congratulate you and express our best wishes. You welcome us to stay right?”
