Chapter 353 - The Emperor is Not Worried, But His Eunuchs Are (2/2)

Jian Yiling hesitated for a moment before she picked up the phone.

The caller’s voice was slightly anxious: “Yiling, you don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll take care of it.”

“You don’t need to,” Jian Yiling replied. She immediately refused Jian Yuncheng’s offer.

Upon hearing Jian Yiling refusing his help, Jian Yuncheng a.s.sumed that she didn’t trust him.

“Yiling, I believe that you didn’t plagiarize. I will find the person who did it. I won’t let you… I won’t let you be falsely accused again…” Jian Yuncheng said. He choked up in the middle of his sentence.

“No need,” Jian Yiling repeated. She once again refused him.

Faced with Jian Yiling’s refusal, Jian Yuncheng had no choice but to bring up Jian Yunmo: “Then I’ll tell your second brother. I’ll get him to help you deal with it, okay?”

Jian Yunmo had quite a few connections in the academic circle.

“Don’t tell him,” Jian Yiling said. She frowned a little and her tone changed visibly.

Upon hearing the change in his sister’s tone, Jian Yuncheng’s voice was much softer than usual: “Yiling, what should I do then? Do you still not trust me? Is it true that you can’t rely on me anymore?”

When the latter questions were asked, Jian Yuncheng felt an inexplicable sourness in his mouth.

In the past, Yiling had sat on his lap and looked at him with s.h.i.+ning eyes. Those eyes had been filled with trust.

However, it was true that Yiling did not trust or rely on Jian Yuncheng. This was because she rarely trusted and wanted to bother others.

She was used to being on her own. She was used to handling her own matters.

This had nothing to do with whether that person was Jian Yuncheng or someone else.

To her, whether it was her parents or her brothers, it was just a ‘relations.h.i.+p’.
