Chapter 906: Everyone is Bullying Master Sheng
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
What checkups and examinations were going to happen during the night?
Although Zhai Yunsheng knew that Jian Yunmo's actions were intentional, he still accepted this room allocation.
If it was Jian Yuncheng or Jian Yunnao, Zhai Yunsheng would have immediately called them out.
But this was Jian Yunmo... He had no choice but to accept this room allocation.
After all, he could not afford to offend Jian Yunmo.
"Then where are our rooms?" Jian Yichen asked.
"All your rooms are on the top floor. Your rooms are right next to Miss Yiling's" Li Zhuojia replied.
Jian Yichen laughed before he said: "Wait, so Master Sheng's room is the only one on the first floor?"
Li Zhuojia's expression did not change as he said: "Well, Mr. Yunsheng is the only one who is a patient. He needs to do checkups and examinations."
Everyone immediately understood why this was the case. All of them tried their best to hold back their laughter.
Jian Yichen smiled and said: "Well, let's go and see our rooms!"
And thus, everyone other than Zhai Yunsheng went to take the elevator together. Zhai Yunsheng was left alone on the first floor...
###
The group of them stayed on the island for a couple of days. Zhai Yunsheng went through many checkups whilst Jian Yiling mainly studied Zhai Yunsheng's physical condition.
Everyone else was basically on a vacation trip.
However, Zhai Yunsheng's initially planned for this to also be a vacation.
Master Zhai told his grandson that he could stay on the island for as long as he wanted. Even staying there for an entire year was fine.
It appeared as though Master Zhai wanted his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to create a little baby on the island.
However, reality dashed Zhai Yunsheng's hopes and dreams.
How could they possibly create a little baby? He rarely even got the chance to even spend time with Jian Yiling!
Other than the times where Jian Yiling took him to do checkups, Zhai Yunsheng rarely had the opportunity to spend time alone with Jian Yiling.
At other times, Zhai Yunsheng only got to see Jian Yiling whilst everyone else was around.
More often than not, Jian Yiling was busy discussing and studying Zhai Yunsheng's condition.
For Jian Yiling, she asked Zhai Yunsheng to come to Lahaisen Hospital because she wanted to look into Zhai Yunsheng's heart condition.
And thus, when he wasn't doing checkups, Zhai Yunsheng spent time by himself on the side of the pool. Often, he would sit under a beach umbrella and sip away at a beverage.
Often, Jian Yichen would come over to tease Zhai Yunsheng: "Master Sheng, so many people came as a couple! However, it appears as though you're quite miserable! Take a look at Brother Yumin and Sister En! And look at An Yang and Hu Jiaojiao. Aren't they cute together? They're enjoying their time together on the beach and under the sun. It must be sad being by yourself."
Jian Yichen was speaking the truth. Jian Yumin, Luo Xiuen, An Yang, and Hu Jiaojiao were indeed enjoying their days.
This vacation was awesome!
Then, Jian Yichen said: "Apparently, the man called Liu Ting is single. He's not much older than Jian Yiling and he's quite good-looking as well. Furthermore, if they were to be together, they would have common topics of conversation. These two days, they've been almost inseparable..."
"Pa-"
The glass cup in Zhai Yunsheng's hand was placed back on the table.
When Jian Yichen saw this, he started laughing internally.
After laughing for a while, the expression on Jian Yichen's face turned serious.
"Yiling is really worried about your health. She's doing everything she can to help you," Jian Yichen said quietly. For once in his life, Jian Yichen was serious. Then he said: "So you must stay alive. Don't make her sad. If something happens to you, she will definitely cry a lot."
Zhai Yunsheng turned his head to look at Jian Yichen. He saw despondency and anxiousness on Jian Yichen's face.
"I will," Zhai Yunsheng replied..

Chapter 907: Wen Cheng's Divorce
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
After staying on the island for a week, the group departed to return to Beijing.
Other than An Yang and Hu Jiaojiao, everyone else returned to the Jian family's Beijing Residence. They wanted to tell Grandma Jian and Grandpa Jian that everything was okay.
"Ahh Yiling, you guys are finally back home," Grandma Jian said. The expression on her face was a little complicated.
Jian Yiling looked at Grandma Jian in confusion.
"Your aunt and uncle got a divorce," Grandma Jian said to Jian Yiling. She told everything that happened to the Wen family in the past two days to her granddaughter. "Your aunt took the initiative to ask for a divorce."
"Why?" Jian Yiling asked with a puzzled expression on her face.
Grandma Jian sighed before she said: "Your uncle cheated on your aunt. He slept with another woman. In addition, he ran into business problems. He was on the verge of bankruptcy and was almost about to go into debt. And thus, your aunt asked for a divorce."
"My uncle said yes?"
"Yeah, he said yes. Your uncle felt that he was in the wrong. Furthermore, as he was soon to be in debt, he did not want to drag his wife and daughter into the situation. He didn't even compete for custody of his daughter. The two of them divorced at a lightning speed. There was no delay."
"What happened to my uncle's business?"
Wen Cheng's business was always doing well. Why was there suddenly a problem?
"I'm not sure about this either. It seems as though your uncle ran into a lot of bad luck in the past week. All his businesses faced problems. This directly led him to the verge of bankruptcy. He was even ready to sell his house. Your mother and father made several trips to the Wen family for this."
"However, after your uncle and aunt got a divorce, in the past two days, his business miraculously began to recover. Those who planned to cancel contracts with Wen Cheng's business suddenly decided not to. In fact, he appears to be already making a profit."
The whole situation was indeed rather bizarre. However, it appeared as though no one was intentionally orchestrating this.
After all, if someone was intentionally orchestrating this, what did they want to achieve?
Furthermore, everything happened way too quickly. In the week Jian Yiling spent at Lahaisen Hospital, the Wen family had undergone such a huge change.
Later in the evening, Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan brought Jian Yiling over to the Wen Residence.
Because of the divorce, Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen suffered a great blow. Grandpa Wen's health was already poor. After this incident, he appeared to look even more haggard than usual.
And thus, Wen Nuan visited her parents as often as possible. Today, she brought Jian Yiling over as well to provide her parents some comfort.
When they arrived at the Wen family, the place was much quieter than usual.
Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo were no longer there.
Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen were upset that their granddaughter was no longer staying with them.
When Grandma Wen saw Jian Yiling, she immediately hugged her: "Yiling... We only have you now..."
Jian Yiling did not feel comfortable in Grandma Wen's embrace. However, she did not push her away.
After hugging her for a while, Grandma Wen pulled Jian Yiling to sit down beside her.
Wen Nuan: "Mother, what's going on with my brother's business? Is the crisis over for now?"
Grandma Wen was confused as well: "I also wonder about this. After the divorce, all the things that weren't going well immediately resolved themselves."
Grandpa Wen sighed before he said: "Maybe this is fate! Maybe Cai Qinyue is destined to not be our daughter-in-law!"
Grandma Wen: "Old man! Don't say that. She's been our daughter-in-law for so many years.. Furthermore, Wen Ruo is still our granddaughter... If it weren't for the recent events..."

Chapter 908: Wen Yan's Goal is Achieved
Translator: Exodus Tales
Editor: Exodus Tales
When Grandma Wen thought about the recent series of events, her head began to hurt.
She did not know whether this divorce was a good or bad thing to the Wen family.
After all, Wen Cheng was at fault for cheating on his wife... However, Cai Qinyue asked for a divorce as soon as Wen Cheng's business was about to go bankrupt...
"Mother, please don't worry about who is right and who is wrong. That's not important. What is most important is your health. Please take care of yourself," Wen Nuan comforted.
"Yeah, I suppose so. I shouldn't dwell on such things. Fortunately, I still have you and Yiling. Please come and visit us more often in the future."
"Where is my brother right now?"
"He's upstairs in his study. He's working non-stop. I think he's attempting to numb himself with work."
"Does Cai Qinyue know that my brother's business is performing well again?"
Wen Nuan no longer called this person her "sister-in-law."
"I'm not sure. If they don't know yet, I feel like they will learn about it soon. After all, Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo are still in Beijing. Therefore, they would eventually learn about what's happening to the Wen family."
When Grandma Wen mentioned Wen Ruo, her expression was filled with reluctance. She still loved her granddaughter dearly.
Wen Ruo was the only granddaughter in the Wen family. If she no longer lived in the Wen Residence, Grandma Wen would not get to see her often.
At this moment, Wen Yan came down the stairs in his wheelchair.
His wheelchair could smoothly go up and down the stairs.
His eyes swept over the group of people in the living room. Finally, his eyes landed on Jian Yiling...
Jian Yiling looked at Wen Yan for a moment before she quickly withdrew her eyes.
She knew that Wen Yan did not like her.
However, Wen Yan's gaze lingered on Jian Yiling for a long time.
It seemed as though he was recalling something.
He had achieved his goal.
Wen Ruo had left the Wen family.
This was his ultimate goal when he initially set up the trap for Wen Cheng.
The person he wanted to take revenge on was always Wen Ruo and not Cai Qinyue.
If he set up a trap for Cai Qinyue, when Cai Qinyue and Wen Cheng divorced, Wen Cheng would definitely fight for the custody of his daughter. He would not let Wen Ruo leave with Cai Qinyue.
However, if Wen Cheng felt that he was in the wrong, he would willingly give up custody of his daughter.
And in order for Cai Qinyue to ask for a divorce, two conditions had to be met.
The first being Wen Cheng's betrayal.
The second being Wen Cheng having no money.
If only the first condition was met, Cai Qinyue would become angry. She would argue with Wen Cheng. However, she wouldn't necessarily ask for a divorce.
But if Cai Qinyue knew that Wen Cheng might go into debt, she would definitely want to pull out early.
And thus, the second order Wen Yan gave was to create problems for Wen Cheng's businesses. He wanted to create the illusion that Wen Cheng was about to go bankrupt and into debt.
In this situation, Cai Qinyue would take the initiative to ask for a divorce. In addition, she would not be able to get a share of Wen Cheng's money.
Now that Cai Qinyue left the Wen family, she would no longer have access to the Wen family's money and assets.
As Wen Ruo left with Cai Qinyue, she would also lose everything she previously had.
And thus, Wen Yan's goal had been achieved.
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Grandma Wen picked up the phone. Wen Ruo was on the other side of the phone: "Grandma, I heard that my father's business took a turn for the better. He's no longer facing bankruptcy right?"
As expected, Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo had indeed heard of the news.
"Yep. Several of your father's businesses have taken a turn for the better. If they turn out well, he will be able to reverse the losses made," Grandma Wen replied. When speaking to her granddaughter, Grandma Wen was unable to lie.
"Grandma, could I visit my father tomorrow? I miss you guys," Wen Ruo said.
Translator Note: Although Jian Yiling is also Grandma Wen's granddaughter, Wen Ruo has the surname "Wen." Generally in Asian countries, the older generation favors children with their family name..

"Of course," Grandma Wen quickly said.
After all, she would certainly be happy to have her precious granddaughter back home.
If it weren't for the fact that her son was in the wrong, she would have definitely insisted for her granddaughter to stay in the Wen family.
"Grandma, could I come over with my mother tomorrow night?" Wen Ruo asked again.
"This..." Grandma Wen said with some hesitation. After a moment, she still agreed: "Of course. I will tell the kitchen to prepare a delicious dinner for tomorrow night."
Grandma Wen knew that if Cai Qinyue came along tomorrow, the situation would become awkward.
However, she didn't want Wen Ruo to be stuck in the middle of such a situation. After all, they would still meet from time to time in the future.
"Mhmm, thank you, Grandma."
###
Inside the living room, Wen Nuan and Jian Shuxing accompanied Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen. They were discussing private matters.
As Jian Yiling did not have to be present, she went to stand in the courtyard.
Wen Yan approached Jian Yiling in his wheelchair.
His attitude towards Jian Yiling had obviously changed. Previously, he was disgusted by Jian Yiling when she took the initiative to approach him. Now, he chose to take the initiative to approach her.
When Jian Yiling sensed his presence, she instinctively took a step back.
Her eyes were filled with doubt as she looked at Wen Yan.
It was obvious that Jian Yiling did not expect Wen Yan to take the initiative to approach her.
When Wen Yan saw Jian Yiling's reaction, he realized that she looked like a bird that was startled by the mere twang of a bow.
Pain flashed through his eyes.
"Do you like looking at flowers? It's the second time you've stood in this courtyard to look at flowers," Wen Yan said. He took the initiative to speak to Jian Yiling.
However, Jian Yiling did not reply.
She did not know whether to nod or shake her head.
She didn't particularly like flowers. However, she didn't want to stay with everyone else in the living room. She wasn't interested in exchanging pleasantries. Therefore, she decided to wait in the courtyard.
She was more comfortable with being by herself.
As Jian Yiling did not respond to him, instead of becoming angry, Wen Yan waited patiently.
His eyes gazed towards the far side of the courtyard. After a while, Wen Yan spoke again: "I was wrong about some things."
"What things?" Jian Yiling asked slowly.
"I know Wen Ruo encouraged you to do those things in the past. Therefore, I kicked her out of the Wen family," Wen Yan said.
Jian Yiling paused for a moment. Then, she turned to look at Wen Yan's fair and handsome face. All of a sudden, Jian Yiling realized what had happened in the past week.
"Did you arrange for this series of events?"
"Yeah, I did."
"But... Uncle Wen never hurt you..."
"Sacrifices must be made."
In the eyes of Wen Yan, it appeared as though he took this for granted.
"He didn't do anything wrong," Jian Yiling stressed again.
"But Wen Ruo did something wrong."
"You're not the Wen Yan I know."
Then, Jian Yiling turned around to leave.
"Yiling..." Wen Yan said softly as he watched her walk away. His brows were furrowed.
###
"What are you looking at?"
Zhai Yunsheng noticed that Jian Yiling looked troubled ever since she returned from the Wen Residence. It was as though she encountered something difficult.
Zhai Yunsheng glanced at the materials placed in front of Jian Yiling. All the information was related to Wen Cheng.
Jian Yiling only appeared troubled when matters were related to relatives and friends.
"My uncle is upset," Jian Yiling said as she raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng. Her eyes were glistening and her eyebrows were slightly knotted.
During dinner, Jian Yiling saw Wen Cheng. However, Wen Cheng did not talk to her much throughout dinner.
It was obvious that he was still shocked at what had happened. He wasn't about to recover anytime soon.
"You want your uncle to become happy?"
"Mhmm."
However, Jian Yiling did not know what she had to do to make her uncle happy. She was not skilled at these kinds of things.

Chapter 910: Let Me Help You

For Jian Yiling, these problems were more challenging than research problems.
"I can help you."
"You can?" Jian Yiling said as she looked at Zhai Yunsheng with surprise.
"Hm? Are you underestimating me?"
"No," Jian Yiling replied as she shook her head.
"Occasionally, you need to learn to tell me about your problems. Your future husband can help you with them."
Future husband...
Wa...
"Oh? Are you shy now?"
She acted so seriously when she mentioned reproducing offspring!
Jian Yiling refused to answer this question.
She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhai Yunsheng.
"Oh? You've learned to avoid questions now?"
"No..." Jian Yiling said softly in protest.
After a while, Jian Yiling whispered to Zhai Yunsheng: "Then... What are you going to do? How are you going to make my uncle happy?"
"Just leave it to me. I will help solve this problem for you," Zhai Yunsheng assured Jian Yiling.
###
Early the next morning, Grandma Wen instructed her servants to begin preparing for dinner tonight.
The soup had to simmer for a few hours. In addition, the meat had to be marinated.
Grandma Wen paid special attention to her granddaughter's favorite dishes.
Although her granddaughter only left the Wen Residence for a few days, Grandma Wen already missed her.
To her surprise, she also received a call from her future grandson-in-law. He said that he would be bringing Yiling over for dinner later.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wen hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.
Cai Qinyue and Wen Ruo arrived early in the afternoon.
"Grandpa, Grandma."
As soon as she saw her grandparents, Wen Ruo rushed into their arms.
Tears were about to flow out of her eyes as Grandma Wen hugged her granddaughter.
"Wen Ruo... My precious darling!"
"Grandma, I missed you so much! You missed you and Grandpa. I also miss my father!"
After hugging for a while, Grandpa Wen ushered them into the house.
Cai Qinyue continued to call Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen "Father" and "Mother" respectively.
"Father, Mother, in the past few days, Wen Ruo constantly thought about you guys. She couldn't even sleep well at night. She ended up losing quite a bit of weight."
Upon hearing Cai Qinyue's words, Grandma Wen felt even more sorry for her granddaughter.
"Ahhh, let me take a good look at you. You're indeed so thin. I asked the kitchen to make your favorite soup!"
As she entered the living room of the Wen Residence, Cai Qinyue took a look around her. Everything was still the same as when she had left. Nothing had changed.
She and Wen Cheng had lived in this house for more than twenty years.
Then, Cai Qinyue recalled the small apartment where she and her daughter had lived in the past few days.
Previously, all her money had been swept away by the company that she had opened for her daughter. As the company had been sued, all her assets were frozen. As a result, she couldn't take any of her money out.
As she was in a rush to get divorced with Wen Cheng, she did not care about the little money he had under his name back then. After all, he was about to be in debt.
She could only take away the gifts Wen Cheng had given her during all these years.
However, this was far from the lifestyle she was used to.
"Grandma, where is my father?" Wen Ruo asked.
"Your father left for work early in the morning. He's expected to return late today," Grandma Wen replied with a sigh.
"Grandma, can I wait until my father comes back?" Wen Ruo asked again.
Her voice was soft and cautious..
