After patiently listening to Zhu Qianying's explanation, Yan Shao stared intently at her and asked, "Do you think I would promise to vouch for them?"

Zhu Qianying remained silent, simply gazing at him quietly, which was tantamount to acknowledging his guess.

Yan Shao ruffled her hair vigorously, laughing and scolding her, "Are you stupid? You're my wife. They're so disgusting and perverted, why would I help them?"

After saying that, he pinched her face again, looking very aggrieved, to vent his dissatisfaction.

In fact, rationally speaking, Zhu Qianying also felt that he wouldn't do that, after all, he had refused the Zhu family's requests several times before, and had directly rejected the Zhu family's loan application.

If he were to make a promise, he would definitely have the Tong family's finance company lend money to the Zhu family, so that he could at least make a large sum of money.

Someone as shrewd as Young Master Yan couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

The problem is, apart from the promise Yan Shao made to them, Zhu Qianying couldn't find any other reason to keep the Zhu family so well-behaved!

"I just can't understand it. People like them would never hesitate to do things that harm others and themselves to disgust me if there were no tempting benefits."

Young Master Yan chuckled and shook his head. "Little girl, you're overthinking it! They're not stupid. Why would they risk offending me and the Ji family just to annoy you?"

Seeing Yan Shao's confidence, Zhu Qianying knew not to say anything more.

After all, from a normal perspective, no one would be foolish enough to offend the Yan and Ji families just to annoy her.

The problem is, you can't judge the Zhu family from a normal perspective!

This is a conclusion that Zhu Qianying reached after living in the Zhu family for twenty years.

Yan Shao was unwilling to talk much about the Zhu family, so he inquired about her other matters.

"By the way, how do you plan to spend that 100 million? Are you going to put it in the bank to earn interest, or are you going to invest it?"

The 200 million yuan dowry was divided into two equal parts and transferred to Zhu Zhizhou and Chen Jing's accounts respectively on the wedding day.

As for the 100 million that was originally supposed to be transferred to Zhu Qianying's account but was ultimately transferred to Chen Jing's account, it was Zhu Qianying's idea, and Young Master Yan had no objection to it.

"Keep it a secret for now!"

Zhu Qianying had already planned that she would use most of this money to buy shares in Mingxuan Group.

Firstly, with Mingxuan's stock price currently low, it's a good time to buy.

Secondly, she wanted to hold as many shares of Mingxuan as possible, both for investment and to keep the Zhu family at bay.

"Yes, if you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to ask me!"

It was rare for Yan Shao to be so considerate, willing to act as a free teacher, but Zhu Qianying just nodded perfunctorily, leaning on his chest as she left his embrace.

She sees some things very clearly.

At this moment, Yan Shao was deeply in love with her, so naturally, he was willing to spend more time on her.

But she had to be constantly on guard, afraid that she would gradually become accustomed to his care under his unconscious pampering, and thus lose her ability to be independent. In the long run, she would be raised by him to be a real canary in a cage.

It's not that Zhu Qianying is being unreasonable; she's clearly being pampered and loved, yet she insists on being pretentious and pushing people away.

Rather, she knew all too well that Yan Shao's kindness towards her now, including all his tender words and care, was nothing more than based on physical pleasure. Once his infatuation with her wore off and his interest waned, he would probably revert to his former cold and fickle self.

Therefore, she would rather not have this kind of fleeting care and pampering!

Of course, she also considered whether she should try to win him over. After all, a man like Yan Shao, ignoring his unpredictable personality, is so outstanding in both appearance and personality that it's impossible not to look at him.

But after thinking about it for a while, she still firmly believed that there are many things in this world that can be earned through hard work, but feelings are something that cannot be obtained through hard work.

Take my mom, for example. She worked hard for twenty years, but in the end, she got nothing—no relationship, no status, no money. She really lost out big time!

Zhu Qianying glanced at the wall clock, then casually made up an excuse to leave his embrace completely.

"I'll go check if dinner is ready!"

Go!

Yan Shao helped her stand up straight by supporting her waist, and then patted her bottom. As he expected, his prank earned him a fierce glare from her.

Yan Shao smiled as he watched her walk away, then suddenly remembered something and said to her back, "I'm going to H City tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? I'll have someone show you around."

Suddenly, Yan Shao took pity on her, fearing she might get sick from being cooped up at home.

But his good intentions were coldly rejected by Zhu Qianying. Without turning her head, she raised her hand and waved it away, "No..."

Yan Shao clicked his tongue, "Really not cute!"

Indeed, if judged by general standards, this girl would definitely be below average.

She doesn't seem to have the gentleness that a girl should have.

The image of a girl as delicate and pitiful is completely foreign to her.

She seems completely unaware of her woman's instinctive dependence on men, always keeping to herself and bearing everything on her own.

Yet it was precisely this kind of woman who, for some inexplicable reason, gradually made him feel attached to her!

"Young Master Yan, my mom made some soup today, and the chef also made some soup. What would you like to drink?"

Just as Yan Shao was secretly cursing Zhu Qianying, the girl returned and stood not far away, loudly asking him a question.

"Drink your mother's cooking!" Yan Shao replied without even thinking.

His mother-in-law's personality wasn't very likable in the past, but her cooking skills were absolutely superb.

For the time being, someone as picky as him, who has tasted all kinds of cuisines, hasn't found a chef with better skills than her.

He had to admit that, in some respects, she was indeed a talented person, but she was ruined and wasted by that disgusting man, Takeozumi!

"Young Master Yan, since you're going to H City tomorrow, I'd like to go back and keep my mom company. She's quite lonely by herself."

The so-called "newlywed bliss" was, of course, not true for her and him, but they were indeed newlyweds. She felt that reporting her whereabouts was a form of respect for her partner.

Of course, this is on the premise that he also respects her.

He had just told her his whereabouts for tomorrow, so she couldn't very well go home quietly.

Besides, it's only natural for a daughter to come home and spend time with her mother; there's nothing wrong with that.

"Okay, go ahead. You can drive any of the cars in the garage, but it's best to have the driver take you there."

Yan Shao suggested that she have the driver take her home out of concern for her safety.

After all, the Zhu family is not someone we can afford to be careless about.

"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle Hai to make the arrangements for me again tomorrow."

Zhu Qianying had been staying at the Yan family's residence for several days and had gotten to know almost everyone in the family, but she was not used to giving orders to them.

Ultimately, she still considers herself an outsider.

"What trouble? Uncle Hai is here to take care of you anyway. Just tell him where you're going, and he'll take care of everything."
