Then, he gave Zhai Yunsheng a meaningful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want his sister-in-law’s ego and self-esteem to be hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi also attempted to convince Jian Yiling: “God Ling, wouldn’t a meeting this afternoon be a bit too sudden? Shouldn’t we ask them in advance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even if it was his father, generally, when people wanted to meet him, they would at least give a phone call in advance. They would not just go there immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you guys busy this afternoon?” Jian Yiling asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well… We don’t have anything on… But I don’t think that’s the problem here…” Yu Xi said cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyu continued to say: “Why don’t we pick another day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t do anything to prepare for the situation if the meeting was today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. We can go as long as you guys are free,” Jian Yiling replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… Master Sheng, what do you think about this?” Han Mengyu asked Zhai Yunsheng. Once again, he directed such a question to Master Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s get ready to go now,” Zhai Yunsheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahhh, okay,” Han Mengyu said reluctantly. He had no choice but to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhai Yunsheng said to Jian Yiling: “Wait for us in the lounge room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to shower and change clothes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was also another one in the swimming pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jian Yiling left, Xing Wei could finally climb out of the pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>###\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the five of them arrived at the Goodman Residence located on the outskirts of Beijing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residence was a classical European-style building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard of the residence appeared serene yet solemn-looking. The car they arrived in was parked outside the black iron gate of the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car, Han Mengyu was in an apprehensive mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyu kept giving Yu Xi looks: What do we do? Our sister-in-law directly brought us over here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xi returned a look to Han Mengyu: How would I know? Master Sheng didn’t even attempt to convince her. What else can we do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling got out of the car and walked over towards the doorbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared as though she was going to ring the doorbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, typically, shouldn’t you have a meeting appointment before you come to meet a big shot like this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sister-in-law was way too direct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would the big shot even speak to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she got rejected by the servants answering the bell, wouldn’t she be incredibly embarrassed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she cried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of them looked at Jian Yiling’s soft and fair face. They could not bear to see her sad and upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyu hurriedly walked forward and said: “Umm… It’s rather quiet here. It seems as though the Goodman family elder might not be at home. Why don’t we come back another day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Wei hurriedly echoed Han Mengyu: “Yeah, that’s true. He probably went out. After all, those people are incredibly busy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Yiling: “He’s probably at home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she pressed the doorbell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the doorbell rang twice, a servant inside the house answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the electronic screen at the door, Jian Yiling made her intentions clear: “I’m here to see Mr. George Goodman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant paused for a moment and stared at Jian Yiling through the screen. After a moment, they answered: “Mr. Goodman is outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this reply, Han Mengyu quickly said to Jian Yiling: “See, he actually went out. Let’s just come back next time!”\u003C\u002Fp>",633,"2026-06-06T02:09:08.166Z",1,"novelbin.me","b66f789b578a4a1a203cab6a8aba1be4c8af7f450874edcbd849248523fc98f6","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-991","from-sidekick-to-bigshot-chapter-989",1465,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-sidekick-to-bigshot-cover.jpg"]
