Chapter 1007: A Bit Too Easily Convinced

When Jian Yiling visited her cousins living in the apartment opposite her, she mentioned the martial competition to Jian Yichen.

“Martial competition? Fighting? Ask my brother!” Jian Yichen recommended immediately.
However, after a pause, he added: “But my brother is rather bad-tempered.
It’s not easy to get him to do things.”

Jian Yiheng’s temper was known to be strange.

Furthermore, Jian Yiheng was unlike the other brothers in the Jian family.
He couldn’t stand Jian Yiling.
He always felt that his sister was some kind of troublesome creature.

When Jian Yiling was young, she wanted to hug Jian Yiheng.
However, when she jumped at him, Jian Yiheng dodged her hug at lightning-fast speed.

After this incident, Jian Yiling went to her third aunt Nie Yun to cry about this.
Naturally, Nie Yun smacked Jian Yiheng.

Despite this, Jian Yiheng still did not give Jian Yiling any face.

And thus, even if Jian Yiling asked Jian Yiheng to participate in the martial competition, his brother wouldn’t necessarily listen to her.

As they were talking about this, Jian Yiheng just so happened to leave his bedroom.

Jian Yichen immediately shrank into a ball.

Jian Yiheng’s sharp eyes swept over Jian Yichen before they rested on Jian Yiling.

“Are meals included?” Jian Yiheng asked.

“Huh?”

Jian Yiling and Jian Yichen looked at Jian Yiheng in confusion.

“If I participate in this martial competition, will the meals be covered?”

“They’ll be covered.”

“Alright, I will go with you guys tomorrow.”

After he said this, Jian Yiheng turned around and went back into his room.

Jian Yichen was left with an expression of disbelief on his face.

“Wait, when did my brother become like this?”

If meals were included, he was so easily convinced?

But like… His brother refused to help him when he was getting bullied in high school…

In the end, Jian Yiheng only ended up helping when he learned that his mother was about to fight the bullies for Jian Yichen.
This was because he was worried about his mother doing some things that would spook the heavens.

“I don’t know,” Jian Yiling replied in a quiet voice.

“Then can I attend the martial competition tomorrow as well?” Jian Yichen asked.
He was interested in watching the competition.

“Of course.”

“Alright, I will go with my brother.
I haven’t seen my brother fight anyone for such a long time.
After he won martial competitions for several years in a row, he no longer had opponents that could match him.
After that, he stopped participating in competitions.”

Lucy was acquitted of all charges.

Her father, Henry Goodman, took the blame for everything.

He claimed that everything was arranged by him.
His daughter attempted to dissuade him from doing such things but she failed to do so.

Furthermore, in the video surveillance, Lucy said to Qin Yufan that she did not want to hurt them.

This supported the case that Lucy did not actively participate in the kidnapping.
Furthermore, as a lawyer from the Goodman family was bailing her out, she ended up getting released.

Then, Lucy was taken to the Goodman family’s residence on the outskirts of Beijing.

When facing Elder George, Lucy hung her head down.
She was careful with her words and did not dare to do the slightest thing wrong again.

“Do you know why I’m still willing to help you?” Elder George asked.

“I don’t know.”

“Because you’re smarter than your father.
Your father is stupid.
And thus, he has been abandoned by our family.
However, you’re still useful.”

“Thank you, Elder George.”

“Don’t thank me yet.
If you want to hold an important position in our family, your following performance will be important.
The task of entering the Eastern markets will be left for you to complete.
I hope that you will not do stupid things like your father.”

“Understood.”

“Alright, go and do your job well.
If you do anything wrong again, don’t blame the Goodman family for giving up on you.”

After George said this, he let Lucy return to her work.
