Chapter 1261: Wedding (6)
Jian Yunnao and Jian Yujie were up next. They were the only Jian brothers who were younger than Zhai Yunsheng.
Surprisingly, the two of them did not present a difficult challenge for Zhai Yunsheng.
Instead, they merely made a few simple requests for Zhai Yunsheng to agree to.
It was highly likely they copied these requests from the Internet.
After Zhai Yunsheng fulfilled the requests and challenges of the Jian brothers, he began to walk upstairs.
However, the door was still locked. The people responsible for this level were An Yang and his lackeys. “Master Sheng, I’m here to ask for red envelopes. I will let you pass if you give me a red envelope.”
Naturally, Zhai Yunsheng came prepared. His groomsmen hurriedly took out the red envelopes and stuffed them into An Yang and his lackey’s hands.
When they got the red envelopes, one of the lackeys said:
“Master Sheng, this red envelope is so thin! It’s not meaningful enough!”
“Yeah! You shouldn’t be stingy! If you’re stingy, you won’t be able to get a wife!”
Upon hearing this, Han Mengyu said, “Open it and take a look.”
An Yang’s lackeys opened the red envelope. To their surprise, instead of notes, there were checks.
Each check was valued at one hundred thousand dollars.
And they each had almost seven to eight red envelopes in their hands.
“Wow! Master Sheng is incredibly generous!”
An Yang’s lackeys immediately gave way.
Upon seeing this, a disgusted expression appeared on An Yang’s face: “You’re all heartless. Is your Boss only worth that much to you guys?” An Yang was disgusted: “You heartless people, is Big Sister worth these few dollars in your minds?”
An Yang’s lackeys retorted: “Brother Yang, you can’t say that! We gave way because we care about our Boss! We want her to be happy and Master Sheng is a good man! Therefore, we shouldn’t stay in the way of her pursuit of happiness?”
Finally, after all these twists and turns, Zhai Yunsheng and the others finally got to see the bride.
When their eyes met, a smile appeared on Zhai Yunsheng’s face. His eyes looked straight at his wife.
“Master Sheng, stop looking at her! You can look at her all you want later at night! We got to do the wedding ceremony first!” Han Mengyu and Xing Wei reminded Master Sheng.
Qin Yufan teased Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, your mental fortitude is quite weak hahaha.”
Hu Jiaojiao also said: “Hurry up and lead her downstairs. If you don’t, the Jian brothers might regret their decision! Before you arrived, they attempted to convince Yiling to stay!”
When Zhai Yunsheng heard this, he knelt down on one knee and presented a bouquet of Lily of the Valleys.
Jian Yiling accepted the bouquet and got down from the bed with the help of two bridesmaids.
The Jian brothers were already standing beside her.
Jian Yuncheng, Jian Yunmo, and Jian Yunnao took turns carrying Jian Yiling downstairs.
Then, everyone got into the wedding limousine and headed toward the wedding venue.
###
At the wedding venue, Master Zhai was over the moon.
He greeted the guests one after another. The smile on his face never dimmed.
There was even a smile on the face of the Second Master of the Zhai family. This was quite a rare sight to see.
“If I were to marry Lahaisen Hospital’s Dean, I’d be this happy as well.”
“Definitely. No one could have known that such a quiet girl would have had so much talent. The Zhai family really picked up a treasure.”
“We can’t marry Jian Yiling anymore. However, we still have a chance to marry the Jian brothers.”
“Apparently, most of them are single. Only Jian Yumin is married.”
“Well then, we should make the most of this opportunity! If we’re successful, we will have connections with the Zhai family and the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital!”
“…”

Chapter 1262: Wedding (7)
Long Yuetian also attended the wedding. When she saw the Second Master of the Zhai family, she instantly recognized him.
“You… You’re from the Zhai family?” Long Yuetian asked with a surprised expression on her face.
“Yeah,” the Second Master of the Zhai family replied. His voice was lower than an average person’s.
“Wait… That’s not right… There are only three people in the Zhai family. Master Zhai, Master Sheng, and…”
After a pause, Long Yuetian took another look at the person in front of her and said: “So you’re the Second Master of the Zhai family?!”
“Mhmm.”
“I can’t believe I had a blind date with the Second Master of the Zhai family…”
No wonder he said he was somewhat Yiling’s uncle.
Then, Long Yuetian couldn’t help but laugh.
After that, Long Yuetian and the Second Master of the Zhai family chatted until the bride and groom arrived.
Jian Yiling was extraordinarily beautiful today.
Zhai Yunsheng stood beside her. His charming face was well-matched to Jian Yiling’s beauty as they walked through the ancient and sacred church.
The priest who was here to witness the wedding was invited from Continent O by the Second Master of the Zhai family.
In the presence of their friends and family, the wedding ceremony began.
Mo Shiyun accompanied Qin Chuan to the wedding. Throughout the entire wedding, she looked at him nervously.
She was afraid that Qin Chuan would suddenly do something insane.
However, the wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly. In front of the priest, Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng exchanged rings and vows.
After that, Jian Yiling and her two bridesmaids returned to a room.
“Yiling is so beautiful today. Master Sheng stared at her the entire time. I swear his eyes didn’t even get the chance to blink,” Hu Jiaojiao commented
“I think he can’t wait for the ceremony to be over. Once it’s over, he can spend the entire night with Yiling!” Qin Yufan teased.
As she said this, she heard someone knock at the door.
“That can’t be Master Sheng, right? Could he not hold himself back?” Qin Yufan joked as she walked over to the door to open it.
However, the person there was not Zhai Yunsheng. Instead, it was her brother Qin Chuan.
“Brother… Why are you…” QIn Yufan started. There was a bad feeling in her heart.
What was Qin Chuan planning to do in the bride’s room at this time?
He shouldn’t be here.
“I have something to discuss with Jian Yiling alone. You guys should leave the room for a bit,” Qin Chuan said to Qin Yufan and Hu Jiaojiao.
Qin Yufan immediately refused: “Brother, you shouldn’t act recklessly. Today is Yiling’s wedding day. I don’t care why you like Mo Shiyun or what conflicts lie between Mo Shiyun and Yiling in the past. What I do know is that you must not hurt Yiling.”
“I won’t hurt her.” Qin Chuan explained without any expression on his face.
Despite hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao questioned: “Well, even if that’s the case, you shouldn’t be here at this time! If anyone hears about this, this would ruin Yiling’s reputation!”
Qin Yufan agreed: “If you really have something to say to Yiling, say it in front of us. Either way, we won’t leave the room.”
Hu Jiaojiao and Qin Yufan’s attitude was firm.
“As you wish.” Qin Chuan replied. He was not interested in arguing with Qin Yufan and Hu Jiaojiao. Instead, he walked straight toward Jian Yiling who was seated on the bed. Jian Yiling had already changed into a lighter wedding dress.
Then, he threw the documents he had prepared in front of Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling picked up the documents and flipped through them.

Chapter 1263: Qin Chuan Expresses His Thoughts
During the two years when Zhai Yunsheng was ill, Qin Chuan did a lot of things.
Bit by bit, he ate away at the various businesses under the Zhai family’s name.
In fact, the things documented on the papers were enough to destroy most of the businesses under the Zhai family’s name.
These things were not unfamiliar to Jian Yiling.
In the original novel, Qin Chuan dealt with the Zhai family in the exact same way.
Furthermore, as Jian Yiling knew what happened in the original novel, she knew that these things could indeed destroy the Zhai family.
Qin Yufan was standing beside Jian Yiling. When she read the contents of the document, the expression on her face became very ugly.
“Brother… Why… Why would you do this?” Qin Yufan exclaimed. She couldn’t believe that her brother had done all these things.
Qin Chuan did not answer Qin Yufan’s question. Instead, he said to Jian Yiling: “Leave with me. Or else, I will destroy the Zhai family.
“Do you intend to repeat that ending?” Jian Yiling asked in a clear and cold voice. She stared into Qin Chuan’s eyes without flinching.
In their previous lives, Qin Chuan was forced to make a move against the Zhai family.
The accidental death of Zhai Yunsheng and the subsequent retaliation of the Second Master of the Zhai family forced Qin Chuan to fight back.
In the original novel, the Second Master of the Zhai family and Zhai Yunsheng were the villains. This meant that all of Qin Chuan’s actions were done to defend himself.
However, this time around, the Zhai family did nothing to harm Qin Chuan. Despite this, Qin Chuan still recreated what happened in their previous life.
“If I say I didn’t want to do this, would you believe me?” Qin Chuan asked Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling shook her head.
Qin Chuan’s eyes gazed at Jane Yiling. It was as though he wanted to read her mind: “Jian Yiling, do you know that remembering those things was incredibly painful for me?”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling frowned slightly. She did not really understand what Qin Chuan was feeling.
After all, when he remembered all these things, a lot of changes had already happened.
“Brother, what are you talking about?” Qin Yufan asked as she pulled Qin Chuan’s arm. She tried to shake him: “Brother, tell me what’s going on. Tell me why you’re doing this.”
Qin Chuan closed his eyes sorrowfully. After a long pause, he slowly opened them again.
“Jian Yiling, I fell in love with you. And all those memories… They let me know that you once loved me as well.”
Upon hearing these words, Jian Yiling froze.
Surprised expressions also appeared on Qin Yufan and Hu Jiaojiao’s faces.
“Brother, you’re saying that you… Liked Yiling?” Qin Yufan asked. Her voice was visibly trembling. “But… Aren’t you… With Mo Shiyun?”
Once again, Qin Chuan ignored Qin Yufan. Instead, he asked Jian Yiling: “Jian Yiling, what should I do? If I didn’t remember what happened, I could convince myself to give up. But after I recall everything, I could no longer convince myself to give up. I tried to become the same person I was back then. Despite attempting to do that, it seems as though I can’t change anything.”
He desperately tried to bring everything back to what it was before.
He even located Mo Shiyun, the woman he was supposed to be in love with for the rest of his life.
However, he couldn’t be with her. His body and mind would instinctively reject her.
He could not bring himself to touch her. That feeling made him feel sick and uncomfortable.
He also tried to make himself hate Jian Yiling. He desperately tried to stay away from her.
But his gaze still followed her uncontrollably.
And when he saw her with Zhai Yunsheng, he would become uncontrollably jealous.
He did not want to do these things.
But he couldn’t control his heart.
Jian Yiling stared at Qin Chuan. She didn’t know what to say.
She was never good at comforting people. And thus, she did not know what to do in such a situation.
•••
Chapter 1264: Jian Yiling’s Decision
In the past few years, she had learned a lot about getting along with people. Despite this, she still did not know what to do in such a situation.
She had no idea that Qin Chuan’s thoughts about her would change so much this time around.
But she no longer needed nor wanted his love and attention in this life.
“The person that I like is A Sheng,” Jian Yiling told Qin Chuan clearly.
“I know that. But do I deserve this?” Qin Chuan asked. His voice was low, bitter, and even a little self-deprecating. “In our previous life, you loved me but I hated you. This time around, I fell for you unknowingly. Is this my retribution for destroying the Jian family in our previous lives?”
Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling shook her head: “It’s not retribution. It’s merely fate and destiny. This time around, I met and fell in love with A Sheng. It’s like you and Mo Shiyun.”
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment before he said: “Well, what I said still holds. If you don’t come with me, I will destroy the Zhai family.”
Qin Chuan did not listen to Jian Yiling’s words. He still wanted to force her to make a decision.
Once again, Qin Yufan tugged at her brother’s arm: “Brother, even if you like Yiling, you shouldn’t do this. Can’t you see? Your actions are hurting her! She’s getting married today. How can you force her to make such a decision? Brother, please don’t do this okay? I know there is no way to control your feelings. However, you can control yourself to not hurt the person that you like!”
Hu Jiaojiao nodded her head and added: “Yes, yes. If you truly like Yiling, you should let her be happy. You shouldn’t be forcing her to make a decision!”
Despite hearing these words, the expression on Qin Chuan’s face did not change. Qin Yufan and Hu Jiaojiao’s words would not change his mind.
If his thoughts could be easily changed, he wouldn’t be standing here today. He wouldn’t be forcing Jian Yiling to make a choice.
“Even if you plan to destroy the Zhai family, I won’t leave with you,” Jian Yiling replied.
Qin Chuan frowned when he heard this.
Then, Jian Yiling said to Qin Chuan: “Even if the Zhai family gets destroyed, I will support A Sheng. I can give him whatever he needs to build up his business in Beijing again. However, if I leave today, A Sheng will be sad. I will not sacrifice myself to make myself feel better. I will not let him misinterpret my actions.”
“Aren’t you worried that the Zhai family will be ruined because of you?” Qin Chuan asked again.
“Nope, I’m not worried. If they blame me for this matter, it only proves that they are not worthy of me marrying into. If that’s the case, there is nothing to be upset about if their family business gets destroyed. And if they care about me, they would have chosen me over the family business in the first place.”
As she said this, Jian Yiling’s eyes remained clear and certain.
Then, she handed the documents back to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan stared at the documents handed back by Jian Yiling for a while. He did not reach out to take them.
In his mind, Jian Yiling’s decision was unexpected, yet within reason.
The Jian Yiling that he knew this life would make such a decision.
She would know exactly what she wanted.
She would defend what she wanted to protect.
Qin Chuan looked at Jian Yiling’s firm gaze for a while before he turned around and left the room.
Once he left, Hu Jiaojiao let out a big sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Qin Yufan, was not at all relieved: “Yiling, what do we do now? If my brother actually plans to destroy the Zhai family…”
“If he actually dares to do that, then I will dare to destroy him.” Jian Yiling replied.
From a long time ago Jian Yiling had been worried that Qin Chuan would hurt Zhai Yunsheng.
Therefore, she did a lot of things to attempt to change the hostile relationship between the two.
However, she ended up being the factor that triggered their hostile relationship this time around.
Despite not being able to change anything, she was no longer afraid to face Qin Chuan head-on.

Chapter 1265: Crazy Thing Called Love
Not long after Qin Chuan left, Mo Shiyun also came to see Jian Yiling.
When Qin Yufan saw Mo Shiyun, she asked warily: “What are you doing here?”
Mo Shiyun was a little nervous as she stammered: “I… I don’t mean any harm.”
Hu Jiaojiao did not believe Mo Shiyun’s words. She puffed out her cheeks and said to Mo Shiyun in a huff: “You know how many disgusting things you’ve done in the past! We will not believe that you are not a malicious person!”
To everyone’s surprise, Mo Shiyun knelt down in front of Jian Yiling and begged, “Jian Yiling, I’m begging you. Please don’t take Qin Chuan away from me. I know that I’m not as amazing as you. No matter how much I try, I can’t accomplish anything. I know I’m inferior in each and every single way.”
“I also know that I acted maliciously in the past. It was my bad. It was my fault. I really know what I did wrong. All I want is to stay by Qin Chuan’s side. I want to stay beside him even though he doesn’t have me in his heart. That’s enough for me. I beg you not to snatch him away. You already have Master Sheng. Please don’t snatch Qin Chuan away, okay?” Mo Shiyun humbly begged Jian Yiling.
The once haughty and proud girl who was unwilling to bow her head down to anyone was now kneeling in front of Jian Yiling.
Jian Yiling expressionlessly looked at Mo Shiyun who was kneeling in front of her.
“You don’t need to beg me. I don’t like Qin Chuan,” Jian Yiling replied in a cold voice.
After hearing Jian Yiling clearly say that she didn’t like Qin Chuan, Mo Shiyun actually kowtowed to Jian Yiling.
“Thank you, thank you.”
Her forehead was knocked repeatedly onto the ground.
Qin Yufan could not stand to look at Mo Shiyun: “Mo Shiyun, do you find amusement in doing this? Even if Yiling doesn’t like my brother, my brother doesn’t have you in his heart. Are you happy to stay by his side like this? You should be loved and cherished in a relationship. It shouldn’t be like this.”
Qin Yufan did not like the previous Mo Shiyun that attempted to cause Jian Yiling trouble. However, the one in front of her right now was equally as loathsome
“It doesn’t matter. That doesn’t matter to me. I’m happy as long as he can let me stay by his side. I’m happy to just see him from time to time,” Mo Shiyun replied. Mo Shiyun’s self-esteem and respect had utterly disappeared.
Then, she continued to murmur: “You wouldn’t know what he means to me. When I was young, he was the light inside my heart, dazzling and bright. Later when we met again in Beijing, he was high above me. As I was merely an unpopular actor, even though I liked him, I could only look at him from afar.”
“Later on, I did a lot of bad things. I lost myself somewhere along the line. Then, I suddenly realized that I had a lot of things. I was just too greedy. I wanted too much in life. I was way too ambitious. If I didn’t try to compete against you, none of this would have happened. Over the years, I truly regretted my decisions. I now know not to be so greedy in life.”
“Qin Chuan helped me out of the mud. He brought me back to Beijing and gave me everything I ever dreamed of. It was all so unreal yet so beautiful. It was like a bubble that would shatter if I wasn’t careful. And now, my entire life belongs to him. I will be content as long as I can stay by his side. I really have nothing else to ask for.”
