She couldn’t pretend to not know her niece in public. If she did, that would make it seem like she had a guilty conscience.

However, when He Yan arrived in front of Jian Yiling, she realized that Jian Yiling had come alone. She didn’t come with her parents or anyone else.

“Yiling, why did you come by yourself?” Jian Yummin asked her out of curiosity.

“I came to look around,” Jian Yiling replied.

Jian Yiling didn’t know why that person wanted to meet her today. Furthermore, she didn’t know why the meeting was on such an occasion as well.

She didn’t come here for any other reason. As such, she had decided to take a look around.

“Where is your mother? Why did she let you come by yourself?” Jian Yumin asked in a hurry. His burrows were furrowed. If someone didn’t know better, they’d a.s.sume that he was angry.

In Jian Yumin’s mind, Jian Yiling was still a child. She could get lost if she went out by herself.

“Yeah, that’s right. Where is Wen Nuan? Why is she not with you?” He Yan had the same question in her mind. However, her intentions were completely different from Jian Yumin’s.

“I’m by myself,” Jian Yiling replied.

“How can you go out by yourself? To such an occasion as well!” Jian Yumin cried out. It was dangerous for his sister to be alone. There were wolves and tigers ¹at such an event. As a result, it was unacceptable for Jian Yiling to be here by herself.

Fortunately, the host of the charity dinner did not hear this. If she heard this, goodness knows what she would say.

“Yeah, why would Wen Nuan let you come here by yourself?” He Yan asked deliberately. She saw that there were people nearby.

“I’m not a child,” Jian Yiling replied. However, her face and innocent eyes made her words incredibly unconvincing.
