"Okay! Zizai, we'll move it after Mommy's injury has healed."

And so, the decision was made for Zhu Qianying and her family to move back to the apartment.

Originally, Zhu Qianying thought that her proposal would be subject to some twists and turns or obstacles before it could be implemented, but unexpectedly, it went much more smoothly than she had expected.

Now that the decision had been made, Zhu Qianying spent the next few days recuperating at the Yan family home.

...

On Tuesday, Yan Shao, accompanied by Qin Xiu, attended the opening reception of Yi Wang Real Estate.

As the heads of Yi Wang Real Estate, Yi Changxing and the eldest son of the Wang family naturally stood at the entrance of the venue to greet the guests.

As soon as Yan Shao stepped out of the elevator, he saw Yi Changxing, whom he hadn't seen for a while, as well as the eldest son of the Wang family, who was sitting in a wheelchair and had been intentionally or unintentionally opposing him all this time.

This eldest son of the Wang family was quite handsome. If he weren't in a wheelchair, he would probably be a tall and upright man. It's just a pity that it's said that there's zero chance of his legs recovering. In fact, he will never be able to leave this wheelchair for the rest of his life.

The moment Yan Shao saw the eldest son of the Wang family from afar, he suddenly understood why Yi Wei was unwilling to nod.

How could a woman as proud as Yi Wei, who is inexplicably arrogant, tolerate having to keep her head down when talking to her man for a long time?

"Sir, should we find an excuse to slip away early?"

Even now, Qin Xiu still couldn't understand why his master had come to this opening party.

Everyone, from the Yi and Wang families to Young Master Yan and even outsiders, knows very well that Yi Wang Real Estate is merely a tool used by the Yi and Wang families to provoke Young Master Yan.

As a weapon, this tool is actually not very powerful, which makes the provocateur's behavior seem ridiculous.

In the past, Yan Shao would have mostly ignored such pointless behavior.

As someone who has been at the top for many years, I would never care about an ignorant crowd standing at the foot of the mountain making idle noises.

But this time, he came in person to offer his congratulations. Was he trying to adopt a confrontational stance? Or perhaps, he still cared a little bit about the eldest daughter of the Yi family?

Thinking of the latter possibility, Qin Xiu felt a chill run down his spine.

Qin Xiu had been by Yan Shao's side for over a decade, and he believed he understood Yan Shao's work habits and methods very well.

However, when it comes to matters of the heart, Qin Xiu admits he can't see through Yan Shao.

This was true of her towards Yi Wei in the past, and it is true of her towards Zhu Qianying now.

"Act according to the situation!"

Yan Shao gave him an ambiguous answer without making a sound, and then strode over to Yi Changxing and Young Master Wang.

Yi Changxing was in good spirits, chatting and laughing freely with the guests with an air of high spirits. However, when he saw Yan Shao and Qin Xiu, his expression changed visibly.

Clearly, he hadn't expected to see Young Master Yan here.

Perhaps he thought Young Master Yan wouldn't come.

Or perhaps, he simply didn't know that Young Master Yan was also among the invited guests.

Judging from his face and expression, Qin Xiu guessed that the latter was more likely.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Wang, congratulations!"

Yan Shao, seemingly oblivious to Yi Changxing's astonishment, stepped forward to shake hands with the two and offer his congratulations. Then, he gestured for Qin Xiu to present the gift, turned around, and went to the guest reception area to sign in.

After he finished signing his name, he turned around and almost tripped over something. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Young Master Wang.

"Young Master Yan, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come over. How about we go over for a drink?"

Besides Qin Xiu, Young Master Yan also brought two bodyguards with him today. When it comes to matters of personal safety, Young Master Yan never acts recklessly.

Young Master Yan nodded, and the two bodyguards and Qin Xiu followed him into the main hall of the banquet. Under the guidance of Young Master Wang, they walked to a quieter corner separated by a screen.

The eldest son of the Wang family has difficulty walking and relies on a wheelchair to move around, but he doesn't need any assistants in the venue and can move around freely just like an ordinary person.

This shows that he is a very hardworking and positive person, and at the very least, a very proud person.

Even when he was talking to Young Master Yan just now, he showed no signs of stage fright, his face was resolute and his eyes were firm.

However, they lacked a bit of self-awareness!

Yan Shao secretly felt a pang of regret.

As a guest, Young Master Yan took the initiative, picking up two glasses of wine from the table. He handed one to Young Master Wang and held the other himself, gently touching the glass in Young Master Wang's hand.

"Young Master Wang, on behalf of the people of L City, I raise a glass to you to thank you for your willingness to contribute to the development of L City."

Despite being adversaries, Young Master Yan displayed remarkable composure.

To outsiders, it seemed as if Young Master Yan was simply putting on an act.

But in truth, Yan Shao never hesitates to praise those who are hardly his match.

He even occasionally has a habit of indulging his opponents.

In the eyes of Qin Xiu, his all-powerful assistant, this was not a virtuous quality; on the contrary, it was a very wicked sense of humor.

Give your opponent a chance to grow, and then, when they have grown to a certain level, engage them in battle and enjoy the thrill of crushing them!

Yan Shao, who had been in charge of the Yanhuang Group for two or three years, had done a lot of this kind of thing, manipulating his opponents at will. Perhaps he had become a little bored.

The saying "Invincible is the loneliest" perfectly describes someone like Yan Shao.

However, in recent years, Yan Shao has become increasingly uninterested in doing such things. Qin Xiu thought that this was probably a consequence of Zhu Qianying's departure.

Now that Zhu Qianying is back, Yan Shao's wicked sense of humor has come back to life.

Or, to be more precise, the Yan Shao that Qin Xiu knew had unknowingly slowly come back to life.

In Qin Xiu's view, this was a good thing, but for his opponents, it was a very bad thing!

"Young Master Yan, you flatter me. In the future, I hope you will take good care of me and spare my life!"

Young Master Wang was a seasoned veteran, and his words were impeccable. Even though he was the one who delivered the challenge to Young Master Yan right under his nose, he was now feigning reluctance to let him go.

He probably thought that many important people would enjoy being flattered by their opponents.

Yan Shao, however, has always been immune to this kind of fake flattery that makes him want to vomit.

"Young Master Wang is too modest. As the saying goes, only a mighty dragon can cross the river. Since you have been able to cross the river, it is already clear whether you are a dragon or a worm. Asking me, Yan, to take care of you is really too kind of you!"

Yan Shao had a smile on his face, and his words were half flattery and half sarcasm, a tone that made Qin Xiu, who was standing to the side, feel uneasy.

I couldn't help but secretly admire this young master Wang. Was it really worth it to provoke his own boss like this for the sake of Miss Yi?

Then, seeing the fearless expression on Young Master Wang's face, Qin Xiu secretly shook his head.

Should we say that this young master Wang is a hero who can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, or should we say that he is ignorant and fearless?
