You didn’t even contact me during that time...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as though he wasn’t as important as Qin Chuan to God Ling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been teammates! Teammates that went from the ‘cradle to the grave!’ They had fought through the thick and thin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yu Xi was driving, Jian Yiling was not idle in the passenger seat either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out her small laptop and placed it on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she started to type away on the keyboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting for the red light, Yu Xi glanced at Jian Yiling’s computer screen. He ended up seeing a bunch of chemical symbols that he could not understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhh... As expected from a medical student from a prestigious university...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you’re in your third year for university right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah, I skipped that. I’m a postgraduate student now,” Jian Yiling replied truthfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahh... He should have thought of that... She hadn’t finished high school in the normal way. Should he have expected her to finish university in the proper way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling was studying medicine. It was a course that would typically take at least eight years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling was studying the postgraduate part of her degree already... And yet, he had only just started studying for his postgraduate degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Master Sheng also graduated early,” Yu Xi said again. It seemed as though he was trying to ‘accidentally’ mention Zhai Yunsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Zhai Yunsheng seemed like he typically wasted his days doing nothing, he still had the ability to achieve good marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he took a break from university for a few months, he would still come back and achieve amazing marks for his exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second time today that Yu Xi had deliberately mentioned Zhai Yunsheng. Yu Xi wanted to see how Jian Yiling reacted to Zhai Yunsheng’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. Her response was indifferent as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi didn’t see anything fishy about her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhh, forget it. The two of them had abandoned him three years ago! He didn’t need to care about their business so much!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Yu Xi started to ask Jian Yiling about something else: “Oh, by the way, did your brother not come back with you? Is his... Is his condition better?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling had been away for too long. There were too many things that he didn’t know about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His condition had gotten better. He just had other things to deal with lately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good,” Yu Xi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they had small talk, Yu Xi had already driven to the location of the Qin family banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, here came the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Yu Xi nor Jian Yiling had received an invitation to the banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Yu family was one of the largest families in Hengyuan City, his family background was still considered ordinary in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi was close friends with Zhai Yunsheng. This meant that he could attend any party or banquet hosted by the Zhai family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was the Qin family. The Yu family was nothing in front of the Qin family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the Qin family did not need to send an invitation to Yu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi turned around and looked at Jian Yiling: “God Ling, do you have an invitation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling shook her head. She hadn’t received an invitation either. She had come to talk to Qin Chuan today on a whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time of her decision, Jian Yiling had been in the waiting hall of the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, it was too late for Qin Chuan to send her an invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, what do we do?” Yu Xi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll ask him to come out for a bit,” Jian Yiling replied. She didn’t want to enter the banquet in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff in suits at the door heard the conversation between Yu Xi and Jian Yiling. There was a hint of a strange look in their eyes. However, out of politeness, they didn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling was dressed casually. The clothes she wore were not branded and looked cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the clothes of the staff members that were standing at the door to check invitations seemed to cost more than hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female guest who was standing behind Jian Yiling and Yu Xi shook her head and said in a serious tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little girl, you should be studying hard. Don’t think about coming to these places. This is not the place for you to be.”\u003C\u002Fp>",755,"2026-06-06T02:08:54.444Z",1,"novelbin.me","c1ac74b183b97d8f6b1cd8ba1c8c24ecf402177d631cfe67ba20954e40b9fa59","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-452","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-401",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
