Chapter 392: Master Liang’s Special Treatment (1)

“Mhmm, ” Jian Yiling replied again. Her childish little face did not have any extra expression.

She seemed as though she didn’t care much about anything.

When faced with Qin Shixuan, a powerful man from the Qin family in the capital, it appeared as though she did not have any intention of climbing up the social ladder.

Jian Yiling had appeared the same way back when Qin Yufan had seen her at the Yu Residence the other day.

If it hadn’t been for the cartoon lunch box that she was holding in her hand, Qin Yufan would have assumed that she was an endearingly silly and carefree young girl.

However now, it merely seemed as though Jian Yiling was not interested in interacting with Qin Shixuan. It was as though she was only bothered to interact with a big shot like Zhai Yunsheng.

“I saw your parents just now. Did you not come with them?” Qin Shixuan asked with concern.

Jian Yiling did not know that Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan would also be at the launch today.

Jian Yiling glanced at the crowd in the venue. As expected, she saw Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan.

The two of them were currently talking to someone that they knew.

As Jian Yiling thought about whether or not she should go to her parents, Master Liang headed over to her.

Master Liang had instructed the people at the entrance of the launch to inform him when Jian Yiling arrived.

“Master Liang,” Qin Shixuan greeted politely.

Master Liang was well respected by everybody. Even if the Head of the Qin family was here, he would still show consideration and courtesy towards Master Liang.

However, Master Liang walked right past Qin Shixuan and Qin Yufan. He went straight to Jian Yiling.

“You’ve come at last.”

Master Liang smiled as he said this. It seemed as though he was blaming Jian Yiling for being late. However, at the same time, it seemed as though he was quite helpless.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Then she added, “I was a little busy.”

When Jian Yiling said that she was a little busy, the people around her felt that this child was incredibly unaware of the situation.

Qin Yufan couldn’t help but snicker in her heart. What was she busy with? Was she busy delivering lunch boxes to Zhai Yunsheng?

Even Qin Shixuan couldn’t help but frown.

He had indeed heard that Miss Yiling and Master Liang were acquainted. But no matter how they were acquainted, it was still inappropriate and disrespectful to talk to Master Liang like that.

Master Liang’s status in society was untouchable.

If she spoke like that, it seemed as though she didn’t know how to appreciate the kindness and treatment that she was getting.

On the other hand, the other people who were watching the scene felt that the Jian family’s young lady was a bit too arrogant.

It was fine for her to be rude and disrespectful to other people.

However, the person who was standing in front of her was Master Liang! This was a person that even her parents respected! Why was she so rude to such a person?! The Jian family had indeed spoiled her to oblivion!

However, Master Liang did not appear to be unhappy. He still looked at Jian Yiling with kindness and affection in his eyes.

At this time, Jian Shuxing and the others also noticed the situation at the entrance. Wen Nuan ran all the way over to Jian Yiling.

“Yiling?” Wen Nuan called her. Her gaze immediately turned soft when she saw her daughter.

Now that her daughter didn’t live with her anymore, she still had to find a reason to head to the Old Jian Residence every week. If she didn’t find a reason, she wouldn’t be able to see her daughter for that week!

Furthermore, even for the time she spent at the Old Jian Residence, she rarely got time to spend with her daughter. In fact, those times could be counted on her own fingers!

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling responded with a soft voice.

Jian Shuxing looked at his daughter. His daughter seemed so far away from them. His heart ached uncontrollably.

Their little girl was no longer close to them.

He Yan had also trailed behind Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan. Upon seeing Jian Yiling, she asked with a smile: “Oh? Why did you come here too? Did you come by yourself?”

“I invited her to come.”

Before Jian Yiling could respond, Master Liang had answered for her.

This protective attitude was Master Liang really surprised the people that were around him.

Jian Yiling had quite a temper. However, why did Master Liang still treat her so kindly and forgivingly?

“Thank you for inviting my daughter. It’s an honor for her to receive an invitation from you,” Jian Shuxing said. He thanked Master Liang on the behalf of his daughter.
