Zhu Qianying smiled at him, "Don't worry, do you think I can't tell friend from foe? I'm not foolish enough to believe the enemy's words and deny what I saw with my own eyes!"

Zhu Junwei's speculations about Yan Shao were similar to those of Zhu Qianying.

She had to admit that at first, she did think that Yan Shao's kindness towards her might just be a ploy to coax her into giving her son back to him.

But after spending a month together, she had completely dismissed her initial suspicions.

Although she no longer had the same budding romantic feelings for Yan Shao, she still had a certain understanding of his character and personality.

If someone like Yan Shao really wanted to get Zizai back, he would have a thousand or ten thousand straightforward ways. Why would he need to go through all this trouble, time, and effort?

Therefore, Zhu Junwei ultimately doesn't truly understand Young Master Yan. After all, he's not related to Young Master Yan, so it's not surprising that his impression of him remains superficial.

Qin Xiu, who had been staring at Zhu Qianying with great tension, visibly relaxed after hearing what she said.

"Let's keep watching the show..."

Zhu Qianying was now filled with curiosity about the couple on the screen.

“I also think he’s not really sincere with Zhu Qianying. Look at how long Zhu Qianying has been back, living in an extremely cheap slum, driving a beat-up old car, and working in a tiny jewelry store… Thinking back, Brother Han was so generous to me before, giving me cars worth millions and apartments in Wangjiang worth tens of millions without hesitation. How could he be so stingy and petty with Zhu Qianying?”

Qin Xiu's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly jumped into his throat again.

"shadow……"

Zhu Qianying laughed heartily this time, "Hehe, so Young Master Yan is such a generous and magnanimous person! If I had known this earlier, I should have grabbed a big axe and squeezed a hefty sum out of him!"

Qin Xiu wasn't sure if Zhu Qianying really minded. He felt guilty when the car and apartment were mentioned because he had personally delivered the keys to both gifts to Miss Yi back then.

"Young Master Yan really only sees Miss Yi as a younger sister..."

Qin Xiu still spoke these words with great unease.

After all, from an outsider's perspective, Miss Yi was indeed a very special person to Young Master Yan. Whether he truly only saw her as a younger sister, only Young Master Yan himself knew the truth.

"I know!" Compared to Qin Xiu's guilty conscience, Zhu Qianying seemed much more certain.

Actually, it wasn't that Zhu Qianying trusted Yan Shao that much.

Instead, she always felt that whether Young Master Yan treated Yi Wei as a younger sister was meaningless to her in the past, and it was still meaningless to her now.

What truly mattered was only the short period between her marriage and her departure, but even the truth of that period is something she no longer wants to delve into.

"Of course, Young Master Yan treats you differently! Putting aside how deep your friendship with him is over the past twenty years, just look at all the years he's spent with any other woman—when has he ever been as attentive or as ingratiating as he is with you?"

Zhu Junwei on the screen seemed to agree with Yi Wei's words.

This really worried Qin Xiu. "Shadow, don't listen to his nonsense. Young Master Yan is the one who truly cares about you."

Qin Xiu, who openly stood up for his boss, was clearly lacking in confidence.

When it comes to whether his master cares more about Yi Wei or Zhu Qianying, even he can't be sure.

"Hmm..." This time, Zhu Qianying's response was clearly perfunctory.

On the screen, Yi Wei smiled at Zhu Junwei, revealing her teeth, and said confidently, "That's never happened before! He never even glances at other women, but he's incredibly good to me, without any limits. Whatever I want, he'll do everything he can to get it for me!"

Yi Wei spoke with absolute certainty. Qin Xiu, sitting next to Zhu Qianying, helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose. At this moment, he couldn't think of anything to say to smooth things over for his master.

Because everything Yi Wei said was true.

He didn't know if Zhu Qianying cared about the romantic affairs between rich young men and young ladies in high society at that time. Anyway, at that time, people in high society basically knew that the eldest daughter of the Yi family was Yan Shao's childhood sweetheart, and that Yan Shao was incredibly good to this young lady.

"shadow……"

Zhu Qianying's gaze shifted from the screen to his face, and she smiled, "It's just a show, don't get too caught up in it!"

Zhu Qianying's detached attitude, as if it were none of her business, made Qin Xiu secretly feel uneasy.

She began to doubt herself: Was it really a good idea for Master to let Zhu Qianying watch this show?

"Regarding this, who in our circle doesn't know? You probably don't know, but back then, we didn't call you Miss Yi in private, but rather the future young mistress of the Yan family."

As Zhu Junwei spoke, he got up, took the wine bottle, and poured some wine for Yi Wei.

"Hehe..." Yi Wei's laughter suddenly seemed to lack the previous high spirits.

Zhu Junwei raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't overthink it. Men are bound to be slow to understand feelings! Especially someone like Young Master Yan, what can't he get?"

"His feelings for Zhu Qianying were just a passing fancy! Think about it, Zhu Qianying is so beautiful and young, and two hundred million is nothing he can't afford!"

"Think about how worried and concerned he was about you during the time you were kidnapped! In my opinion, in his eyes, Zhu Qianying is nothing more than someone who spent 200 million to buy a wife, nothing more."

"Furthermore, you were too ruthless back then, leaving for so long. You should know that a man's appetite can be whetted, but there has to be a limit! You whetted it for too long, which gave Zhu Qianying an opportunity to take advantage of him!"

Yi Wei seemed to be listening very attentively to Zhu Junwei's analysis, and even Zhu Qianying, who was sitting in front of the screen, had to applaud Zhu Junwei's analysis.

It was only at this moment that she realized how thoroughly her so-called brother understood people's psychology.

Zhu Qianying appeared detached, thoroughly enjoying the show, but Qin Xiu, who was also watching, was extremely anxious!

"Shadow, my feelings for you are genuine!"

The more anxious Qin Xiu became, the more guilty he appeared.

"Hmm..." Zhu Qianying hummed casually again.

On the screen, Yi Wei seemed to have been touched by Zhu Junwei's words. When she looked up at Zhu Junwei, her eyes were red and she looked pitiful. Any man would probably want to comfort her and cherish her.

Zhu Qianying breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. So this Yi Wei had such a gentle and delicate appearance. No wonder Young Master Yan was so fond of her back then!
