Chapter 90: Sweater for Yujie

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The next morning, Jian Yiling put a paper bag into Grandma Jian’s hands.

“Please give this to Yujie,” Jian Yiling asked. She still wasn’t used to calling someone else brother yet.

She had finished knitting Jian Yujie’s sweater. However, she didn’t know when she would be free to give him it. As such, she wanted her grandma to pass it on for her.

Grandma Jian opened the paper bag and took a look at what was inside. It was a gray sweater.

It was similar to the one that she had made for Jian Yuncheng. Both were turtleneck sweaters that had a simple design. Despite the simpleness, the craftsmanship could withstand careful appreciation.

Jian Yiling had been knitting in the last few days. Grandma Jian had seen her knitting on the way to and from school.

Grandma Jian asked jokingly, “So Yuncheng gets a sweater because it’s his birthday. Now Yujie gets one as well. When am I going to get a sweater that was knitted by my dear granddaughter? Sweaters knitted by you will definitely be super nice and warm.”

Grandpa Jian, who sat next to Grandma Jian, turned around to tease his wife, “Wait, why does our breakfast taste so sour? I smell jealousy in the air.”

Grandma Jian glared at Grandpa Jian, “Focus on eating old man!”

Grandpa Jian laughed before he told Jian Yiling, “Knitting sweaters is quite tiring. You’re already tired from studying every day. Grandpa doesn’t want you to knit anymore sweaters. Forget about your grandma. Let her be jealous. After a while, she’ll get used to it!”

Jian Yiling replied with a quiet voice, “It’s fine.”

Knitting sweaters was not a tiring task for Jian Yiling. It didn’t require much brainpower.

This prompted Grandma Jian to say, “What do you mean you’re fine? Take a good look at yourself! Your grandpa is right, don’t tire yourself out. Go to bed early tonight. If you can’t finish your homework, it’s fine. If the teacher asks you about it, tell him to come to talk to me. Grandma will go to your school and confront them. Why do they think it’s okay to assign so much homework to their students? Only teachers who don’t explain properly in class assign so much homework to their students!”

“I’m fine,” Jian Yiling repeated.

“Okay, okay, you’re fine,” Grandma Jian echoed with a smile.

After Grandma Jian sent Jian Yiling to school, she asked the chauffeur to drive her to He Yan’s house.

She was going to personally give the paper bag to Yujie.

On the way there, Grandma Jian asked the chauffeur, “Is there pen and paper in the car?”

“Yes, they’re in the storage box.”

“Find a place where you can park. And then pass me the pen and paper.”

The chauffeur followed Grandma Jian’s instructions.

Once Grandma Jian got the paper and pen, she started to write a note.

“Grandma Jian, can’t you ask Mrs. He Yan to pass on the bag?”

“You don’t understand. He Yan thinks about matters too much. She will think too much into the simple and pure sibling relationship that Yujie and Yiling have. She might think and do unnecessary things. There’s no point in telling her.”

Grandma Jian felt that this was just a simple matter between cousins. However, if He Yan thought about it, it might turn into something related to personal interest.

“Then you could send a message to young master Yuije. In that case, he will know about it and nothing bad will happen.”

“If I send a message to him, wouldn’t that spoil the surprise? I wrote a note and will hid it in the sweater. He will understand when he sees it. If that boy knows that his cousin knitted him a sweater, he’d be so incredibly happy.”

Grandma Jian had finished writing a paragraph.

As Grandma Jian came from a scholarly family, her handwriting was immaculate.

Part of the message read: This sweater was knitted by Yiling. She used the past few nights to knit this sweater for you. Winter is coming, please pay attention to your health.
