The person that she hit ended up hospitalized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qinyue was the one to blame for the accident. She wanted to settle the matter privately with the other party, however, the other party insisted on going to court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around, Cai Qinyue realized that the person she hit had considerable influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t about the money. Rather, it was about not offending influential individuals in Beijing. The Wen family did not want to be involved with unnecessary problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, if someone could act as a mediator to reconcile the matter, the problem would be solved easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was quite difficult to find someone to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be best to find someone that was influential in society. In fact, the status of the other individual had to be convincing as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she thought about this, Cai Qinyue’s mind went to Liang Shuo. She saw Master Liang at Jian Yiling’s birthday party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Liang would be most suitable for such a situation. He could definitely help them reconcile the matter easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, Cai Qinyue suggested this to her husband. She wanted Wen Cheng to ask the Jian family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Wen Cheng refused to do so. He felt that doing such a thing was rather embarrassing and unnecessary. “Let’s wait for a bit longer. Let me think of another way. If I can’t think of another solution, I will go ask my sister and brother-in-law for help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her husband refused to help her, Cai Qinyue decided to ask Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, her daughter took the initiative to ask Jian Yiling to hang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruo invited Jian Yiling to go out to a painting and calligraphy exhibition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jian Yiling stated that she was busy on that day. She politely declined the invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Ruo told her mother about Jian Yiling’s rejection of her invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Cai Qinyue felt that her daughter approached the situation incorrectly: “Why are you inviting her to a painting and calligraphy exhibition? She doesn’t know anything about those things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her daughter was proficient with the four arts. However, Jian Yiling knew nothing about the zither, Go, calligraphy, and paintings. They were not the same kind of person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, why don’t you invite her to go shopping? You can eat and watch a movie together as well,” Cai Qinyue suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, Cai Qinyue asked Wen Nuan to go shopping. She suggested bringing their daughters as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Grandma Jian’s condition was becoming stable, Wen Nuan considered Cai Qinyue’s offer. She hadn’t gone shopping with her daughter in quite some time. Furthermore, they hadn’t explored Beijing together either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, Wen Nuan agreed to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later at night, Wen Nuan mentioned this to Jian Yiling. She was incredibly careful with her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s not convenient for you, it’s okay as well. I’ll wait for next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling looked at Wen Nuan’s moist eyes. In the end, she could not bear to say no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And thus, early on the weekends, Jian Yiling went shopping with her mother, her aunt, and her cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For girls her age, it was quite normal to go out with friends. Shopping was a very normal thing as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this experience was incredibly strange for Jian Yiling. She never went clothes shopping before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whilst they were shopping, Wen Nuan bought a lot of things for Jian Yiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qinyue kept praising Jian Yiling throughout the entire morning as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they sat down to eat together, Cai Qinyue finally mentioned her intentions:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yiling, I’ve encountered a little trouble recently. Could you do me a favor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wen Nuan heard this, the soft smile on her face disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Cai Qinyue continued to speak: “It’s a very small thing. I remember that Master Liang came to celebrate your birthday. Could you ask him to mediate a situation? As long as he does so, the problem that I encountered will soon be solved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Cai Qinyue’s words, Wen Nuan said in a low voice: “Sister-in-law, I thought we were just shopping today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Qinyue smiled awkwardly before she said: “Yes, we are. I did not mean anything else. I just mentioned it in passing. It’s because we’re relatives. That’s why I mentioned it to Yiling. You don’t want to see your relatives get into trouble, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>",758,"2026-06-06T02:09:02.613Z",1,"novelbin.me","51ed33a4bb9c35e686977dc6ad94f1a84ee8e4b170ebc2bbd44cb051949e9334","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-658","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-657",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
