At the thought of her obedient and sensible daughter with a bright future, the woman's heart wavered again.
He Yan paused for a moment before she changed her tone to a softer one, "Don't think too much about it. Everything you're doing is for your daughter. She's beautiful and talented. She deserves to be successful. If she couldn't go to a good high school or university because of money, it would be a lifetime of regret for her. Look at her now. Not only is she excellent in her studies, but she's also made many good friends. She has a bright future ahead of her. "
He Yan's words had successfully persuaded the middle-aged woman. Her daughter was her weakness.
"I understand. I'm willing to do anything for my daughter. As for what I owe Mr. and Mrs. Jian, I'll pay them back in my next life!"
He Yan was satisfied. "That's all for now. I'm still at the Old Jian Residence. I'll meet this girl later. I want to see what she's up to!"
After He Yan finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Originally, she wanted to ask Aunt Mo about the reason for the sudden change in Jian Yiling's attitude.
However, this woman was useless. She had to rely on herself.

At the dinner table, Jian Yiling met one of her cousins for the first time: Jian Yujie.
Jian Yujie and Jian Yunnao were the same age. They were both seventeen years old.
Apart from Jian Yiling, the two of them were the youngest of the Jian family's grandchildren. Furthermore, they were several years younger than the other brothers.
The other grandchildren of the Jian family were all in their twenties.
Originally, they didn't plan to have any more children. However, Grandma Jian wanted to have a granddaughter during Chinese New Year. And thus, the eldest son, Jian Shuxing, and the second son, Jian Shuhong, worked hard.
However, in the same year, two grandsons were born.
At this time, everyone had already given up. Grandma Jian had also accepted her fate.
However, after a year, Wen Nuan was unexpectedly pregnant.
What's more, she gave birth to a little girl that everyone longed for. This made the old lady very happy.
As the saying goes, flowers don't bloom when you're not paying attention.
When Jian Yujie saw Jian Yiling, he smiled at her.
Although He Yan resented Jian Yiling in her heart, Jian Yujie truly liked his only cousin.
She was their only sister. Furthermore, she was particularly cute.
When she was young, she was like a doll. At that time, he liked his sister very much.
However, there were too many older brothers at home. He couldn't compete with them and could only watch from afar every time.
It couldn't be helped. After all, he and Yunnao were the youngest among the group of brothers. Correspondingly, their height and strength were also a lot lower than the other brothers.
He didn't have many opportunities to see Yiling. Most of the time, they were at the Old Jian Residence. Most of the time, the whole family was present.
There were very few opportunities like this where no one fought with him.
And thus, Jian Yujie seized the opportunity to leave a good impression on his sister.
Jian Yiling smiled back at him.
Her smile was very shallow. However, in Jian Yujie's eyes, it was exceptionally cute.
During dinner, Jian Yujie sat next to Jian Yiling. He kept putting food into Jian Yiling's bowl.
"Yiling, you need to eat more! You need to grow taller! When I was fifteen, I was half a head taller than you now!"
Compared to her peers, Jian Yiling was relatively small.
He was already in high school, but he looked like a junior high student.
