Jian Yiling glanced at the message before she turned the screen off. She didn’t immediately reply to the message.
Jian Yiling didn’t want to have too much interaction with Qin Chuan. And thus, she didn’t want the male lead to know her real identity when it came to the investment.

According to the direction of the original book, Qin Chuan’s project would undoubtedly be a success. Jian Yiling had no reason to miss such an opportunity to make money.

Although she didn’t like the male lead, it didn’t mean that she was going to refuse an opportunity to make money and make the male lead work for her.
1
The Jian Yiling from the previous iteration of the novel wanted the male lead’s love and attention. However, right now, the Jian Yiling of current only wanted to make money.

Jian Yiling specifically rushed to invest in the project before the original investor appeared. And she had only requested for 20% of equity.
This was due to the fact that the investor that would appear later caught on that Qin Chuan and his roommates desperately required funding for the project. Thus, they had requested 30% of equity.
By doing this, Jian Yiling could guarantee that even if the original investor appeared, Qin Chuan would be more inclined towards her money and support.
When school was over, the person who came to pick Jian Yiling up from school changed to her elder brother Jian Yuncheng.
Her mother, Wen Nuan had only taken two days of rest before she had hurried back to the hospital to change shifts with Jian Yuncheng.
As a mother, Wen Nuan wanted to stay with her son when he was the most depressed to help him become better.
A mother would take care of her son much better than a competent caretaker.
2
And thus, Wen Nuan insisted on taking care of Jian Yunnao by herself.
Jian Yiling spotted the obvious signs of exhaustion on Jian Yuncheng’s face.
During this time, Jian Yuncheng not only had to take care of his younger brother, but he had to
Even if he had a fever just a few days ago, he could only have some medicine and take a small break.
Jian Yuncheng said to Jian Yiling, "Today, there will only be us two at home. What do you want to eat? We can eat outside."
Jian Yuncheng had asked Aunt An to go to the hospital to take care of Wen Nuan.
His mother couldn’t get sick before his brother got discharged from the hospital.
Jian Yuncheng’s attitude towards Jian Yiling was significantly better than before.
However, he still appeared to be serious and spoke with a straight face. It seemed as though he was dealing with work-related matters.
Jian Yiling glanced at Jian Yuncheng before replying, "Let’s go home and eat. You’re rather busy."
Jian Yuncheng needed rest. His eyes were bloodshot.
Jian Yuncheng agreed with Jian Yiling’s proposal. "Then let’s go home and order takeaway."
He really didn’t have the energy to eat outside.
When they arrived home, Jian Yuncheng saw that there were seven to eight parcels piled in front of their house. They were all Jian Yiling’s. During the day, Aunt Ao had accepted all these deliveries for Jian Yiling.
Jian Yuncheng didn’t ask her what she had bought and why there were so many parcels.
The children of the Jian family had control of their own finances ever since they were children.

From a young age, the Jian family tried to develop their child’s ability to independently manage their finances.
When he was the same age as Jian Yiling, he had attempted to buy stocks and shares.
And therefore, regardless of what Jian Yiling ordered online, as an elder brother, he didn’t plan to ask her about it.

Jian Yiling asked Jian Yuncheng to return to his study room to rest. "Go sleep for a bit, I’ll call you when the food is ready."
When she was speaking, Jian Yiling’s eyes were not looking directly at Jian Yuncheng.
Jian Yuncheng could only see the top of Jian Yiling’s head. Her soft and black hair.
Jian Yuncheng assumed that Jian Yiling meant she was planning to go and order food when she said "Call you when the food is ready."
He had no objection to this. He wasn’t a picky eater.
However, he didn’t know that once he returned to his study, Jian Yiling went into the kitchen.
After checking the ingredients in the refrigerator, Jian Yiling began to prepare dinner.
