Naturally, this was not good for the Zhai family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, from very early on, Zhai Yunsheng, Han Mengyu, and Xing Wei founded a new business alliance that distinguished itself from the Loyalty Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during the two years that Zhai Yunsheng was sick, the Second Master of the Zhai family further split up the Zhai family business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, when Qin Chuan decided to take over the Zhai family business and the Loyalty Alliance, Zhai Yunsheng decided to go with the flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this explanation, Grandma Jian gradually understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… The two of you…” Grandma Jian started as she looked at Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re fine,” Jian Yiling replied. Then she added: “Grandma, please don’t worry about us. You should take care of your own health.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma Jian had experienced a stroke in the past. Therefore, she should not be anxious or worried for a long period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, good,” Grandma Jian repeated. She finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Master Zhai mentioned the orchid to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, this orchid smells amazing. I want one as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Jian Yiling to answer, Grandpa Jian said: “Yiling, this orchid was cultivated especially for me right? It’s exclusive right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Master Zhai and Grandpa Jian looked at Jian Yiling expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, Jian Yiling did not know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhai Yunsheng hurriedly said: “Grandpa, orchids require special care. Since you don’t know much about raising orchids, let’s forget about raising orchids. Yiling was knitting a scarf earlier. She can gift that scarf to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Is she okay with that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yiling was knitting the scarf. It wasn’t any random old scarf. For the scarf to be gifted, Yiling herself had to give permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, she’s okay with that,” Zhai Yunsheng answered. There was a tinge of guilt in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jian Yiling did intend to give Master Zhai the scarf, she planned to give it to him when the weather was cooler\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was autumn, the weather was still quite warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep,” Jian Yiling gave an affirmative answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Master Zhai’s heart immediately burst with joy. A handknitted scarf by his granddaughter-in-law meant way more than an orchid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragrance of orchids was nothing compared to a warm hand-knitted scarf!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Jian looked at Master Zhai in contempt. What was he being proud of?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Master Zhai said to Jian Yiling: “Yiling, you don’t need to call me Grandpa Zhai in the future. Just call me Grandpa. After all, you’re married to A Sheng now. I’m officially your grandpa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this nonsense?” Grandpa Jian immediately said.”I still exist! If Yiling calls someone grandpa, am I meant to respond, or are you meant to respond?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I’m still her grandpa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She should only call you grandpa when I’m not there! However, as long as I’m present, you are still Grandpa Zhai!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Zhai had no choice but to agree: “Okay, okay. You’re older. I will listen to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandpa Jian and Master Zhai bickered like two children. If they weren’t stopped, they could argue for half a day on this topic.\u003C\u002Fp>",599,"2026-06-06T02:09:14.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","022ff391cbe56c1183cbeb1b9d1b78f5b7d03fdd434973b7d99e6fb97951458a","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-1279","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-1277",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
